I walked out from behind Rose with my head down. I walked up to Jasper with my head down so that it would help me stay out of trouble but I doubt that would help me.
"Isabella, why would you think that you are in trouble? What did you do?" Jasper said looking at me.
Emmett opened his mouth and stuck his foot in it by saying, "Rose and Bella had sex this morning in her room. At least that's what I worked out what they were saying just ten minutes ago."
"Emmett I would stay very quiet if I was you you're going to make it a lot worse than it already is." Rose said.
"Rose what happened this morning in Bella's bedroom?" Jasper asked.
"Bella wanted to do it and I had no say in the matter." Rose said throwing her hands up in surrender.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale what happened this morning in Bella's room?" Jasper asked in an almost identical tune that the Major uses.
"That's the second time today you've been full named Rosie." Emmett snicked out.
"Mimi's' Jasper whispered. I whimpered.
"Well Rosalie? Would it have something to do with the way that Bella's hair is?" The Major said.
"Yes Major. Bella wanted a haircut but I didn't want to do it and I didn't want her to hurt herself if she did it herself." Rose whimpered out hanging her head in shame as well.
"Rose go wait for me by the boundary we are going to be having some words." The Major pointed out the door as he said it.
"Isabella sit in the corner until I come home and move you myself. The only reason I want you to move is if you have to go to the bathroom. Is that clear?" The Major said as he turned to me.
"Yes Sir, Major Sir." I saluted him. "Bathroom breaks only Sir."
"Isabella are you getting smart with me?" The Major said.
"Move." The Major said as he pointed to the corner. Why is it that my smokes are always sitting right where I need them when I'm on the way to my corner? "Put them back down you don't get them when you're in trouble Missy."
"But Major I haven't had one all day not even when I was talking to Maria this morning. She didn't even tell me that you were there at all. Why didn't she tell me?" I said.
"Fine light it now and leave the packet where it was. As for why Maria didn't tell you is because we weren't there when you spoke to her we had just left. Now move it and no more talking from you I'm going to deal with Rosalie and then be back to deal with you." The Major said.
Once I was in the corner I thought about what the major might be doing too Rose because she really didn't want to do it. Hey I wonder where Edward is I haven't seen him today. Is it too much for me to ask that the Major go easy on Rose, so I pray that he does go easy on her. Hopefully when we get to Maria's I will have her calmed down enough so she doesn't feel the need to punish Rose for something that she really didn't want to do.
Edward's back I just got that tingly feeling I get whenever he's around.
"Bella what did you cut your hair for? Do you know that your Aunt is going to throw the fit of a century when she hears about this oh boy am I glad that I'm not going to be on the receiving end of one of those. Rose is out there getting her head bitten off not literally of course. The Major is someone that you never want to cross and no he's out it's going to be hard to put him back in because you can't magic your hair longer. He's going to be this way for a while. I wish you the best of luck, because he's coming back now." Edward said crouching down next to me.
"Isabella I can see now how it would help in non-detection from certain people." The Major said. "What would you say if we dye your hair as well? It might help as well. The only thing we can't really cover is your scent. We have to change you shampoo, conditioner and your body wash. We might try you on French Lavender and Jade Extract for the shampoo and conditioner. For the body wash we might have to go with something plain like Dove body wash."
I thought about what he said and that sounded reasonable so I just nodded my head. He then said that he would send Rosalie to do all the shopping so that everything about me would change. He also said that I was not going to be punished because it was a really good plan just needed to tell someone I was going to do it before I did it. He then told me to get out of the corner and the only time I was to go there was if I did something that wasn't approved by him or Peter. I then asked him why Peter said he cares about me.
"Isabella I care a lot about you because you are my responsibility to keep safe till you are in Maria's care.' The Major started. "I was supposed to look after you once you turned twenty anyway but you changed the plan when you moved to Forks. I hadn't figured out that it was you that Alice was controlling until about three months after you moved to Forks. Maria had told me that someone very precious to her had moved there and I concluded that, that was you. You see you were the only person around your age to move to Forks since we moved there two years previous. I didn't put together that Alice was controlling you until I got off the phone to Maria and worked everything out."
My head started spinning with all the information that Jasper had just given me. It was nothing new about Alice. She must have known that Maria was my Aunt if she started this. It must have been her way of getting back at Maria for all the hurt she suffered over the years because of her.
"Major this might sound stupid but what if Alice controlling me over the years was her way of getting back at Maria?" I asked him.
"That makes perfect sense. Why hasn't anybody else thought of that? Peter." The Major said.
"You called Major?" Peter said.
"Peter, Isabella just thought of something what if Alice trying to control Isabella was a way to get back at Maria?" The Major said.
"That makes perfect sense. Trying to control something other than you and Isabella being Maria's family she's either really smart about what she is doing or really stupid." Peter said.
"How come it took a human to come up with this over a year after we found out she is Maria's niece and we have had no theories about it?" The Major said.
"Who knows she is pretty smart." Peter said.
"Said human is in the room and can hear every word that you just said. I don't appreciate you talking as if I'm not in the room you know. Stuff this have the rest of the conversation without me I'm going to find Emmett." I said throwing my hands up and storming out of the room.
I didn't get very far when I heard the Major call me back because Alice was calling again.
"This is the Major, how can I not help you pixie." The Major said.
"Major." Alice said.
"Mary Alice I don't think we've had the trouble of meeting before, have we?" The Major said.
"No we haven't Sir. I called because I wanted to talk to Jasper. I don't think you might let him talk to me do you?" Alice sounded as if she were uncertain of how to address the Major.
"Mary Alice I will say this once and only once you will not contact Jasper at any stage in the near and distant future if you do what Maria does to you will be child's play compared to what I have planned for you and I have been planning it ever since Jasper meet you. Now be a good girl and tell me what you wanted?" The Major purred out sweetly making me want to gag. He gave me a funny look at that.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything that I have ever done to you or Isabella and it will never happen again." I don't think the Major appreciated the way she sneered out my name out.
"Mary Alice you will not call this number again. If I found out you have than you will pay for it with your life. Just remember my little warning I will find you faster than you can think of doing anything ever again." The Major said. It scared me and I hide in Peter's side because he could see the effect that the Major was having on me.
"I'll just find another way to contact Jasper without you knowing then." Alice said.
"Mary Alice I am a part of Jasper so I will always know when you contact him. I will be changing the pin number so you won't figure it out again." The Major said hanging up and then calling and changing his pin number.
"Major we have a problem on the west side of the property. There are about five newborns." Charlotte said.
"I thought you, Peter said and I quote 'we will not have anyone trying to kill Isabella until she is a three month old newborn vampire'." The Major said.
"They aren't here for her." Peter said. "They were sent by Carlos to test your defence at threats coming near you."
"How in the blue blazes did he find out where we live?" The Major had Peter by the shirt and was holding him against the wall.
"Carlos has some people watching Maria's camp and he sent the newborns when he found out where you live. That's all I know I swear." Peter said putting his hands up as if surrendering would help him at this time.
"Tell me everything you know Peter NOW." The major seethed.
"Five newborns, that's it. None of them gifted or I would Bella out so we can get that gift as well. I wouldn't put her in harm's way." Peter said as the Major strangled him some more.
"Peter." The Major was still seething.
"They are relatively new. They aren't very experienced. They have heard of you reputation and they wanted to prove that they could bet the Major of the South." Peter said.
"How long do I have till I get to them? I don't want them reaching the house so they can get to Isabella." The Major asked setting Peter down gently.
"If you go now you should meet Emmett where he has a fire ready." Peter said as the Major took off.
Charlotte handed him a mug of warm blood so that the cracks in his head would heal properly.
"Are they going to be alright?" I asked.
"They'll be fine it's the newborns that have to worry about themselves because the Major will rip them into little pieces for coming anywhere near him but with you here he has to be extra vigilant. He's going to send a message to Carlos that he's not to be messed with." Charlotte said.
"Is this the last of the attacks that we will be having? We might want to find another safe house if it comes down to it." Mary said looking afraid for her life.
"There will be at least one more attack to see if someone can get through the defences again but they won't be very successful at all not with the Major out anyway." Peter said. "One of us will have to be with Bella at all times so no more college at the moment. Once this is all over and you're exactly where you need to be you will be turned anyway. It won't happen for a while yet. The next attack will happen when they think the Major is down but they will only think that. Oh it will be fun to see the look on the leader's face when he sees the Major standing in front of him. Enough about that now "
As he finished saying that Emmett ran in the back door he looked pretty torn up.
"I am never and I repeat never going to help the Major in a fight ever again." Emmett panted out. "I need some blood please. I'd get it myself but I'm not sure that that would be a good idea for me to move."
I then noticed that his arm was hanging by a thread.
"Can someone fix his arm please? I think I'm going to be sick." I ran to the sink and threw up right after saying that.
"You can look now Bella." Randall said.
"Where's Rosie?" Emmett asked looking around for her.
"She'll be back in a minute she had to go shopping. It seems as if Bella is getting a makeover and will start to smell a bit different shortly." Charlotte said.
"That might be a good idea. Damn Rosie is going to be pissed I got a new scar." Emmett said rubbing his newly finished arm. "The Major is lethal out there. He's the one that pulled my arm off when I went to help him stupidest mistake I will ever make in my life. No make that second the first was leaving Bella last year."
"Yes we know you are stupid Emmett but you were never warned that the Major doesn't like help when he's fight some newborns." Peter said.
"When we fought those newborns a couple of weeks ago I helped him then." Emmett scratched his head saying.
"That's because the Major was just coming in and Jasper doesn't like the idea of family getting hurt. Now when the Major is in charge you duck and run because you won't win a fight against him and you might lose anything from a few limbs or chunks of skin to your life. I can't remember a time when I barely made it out with my life because it is just that scary." Peter said.
Rose comes in at that exact moment.
