"Huh why are we going there?" I asked Bella.
"Quickest way to get to Alaska. Denali in fact from there we get a plane to Russia." Bella answered as we boarded the plane after we threw away our coffee cups.
Once we were on the plane Bella put me back in the sleep state again. Her and Garrett started the conversation up again.
They talked about everything that had gone on between the time we meet up with the nomads until now. The only thing she didn't talk about were her abilities not that Garrett didn't bring up the subject because he tried to multiply times Bella always dodged the question.
She woke me up when we got to Port Angeles but we weren't there long enough to tell Garrett much about it as our plane was due to take off not long after we got there. She put both of us to sleep on the flight from PA to Denali. Once we landed in Denali we wait for our plane to take us to Russia. I smelt to Denali's at the airport as well. So I told Bella that they were there.
"I know Jasper I can hear them they will be on the same plane as us. I have the three of us shielded so they don't recognise you and me. They haven't met Garrett so he is fine but I covered his vampire scent just in case. We don't want word getting out that you are still alive when you are supposed to be dead as well as me. Now Sshhhh because they are headed over this way. Both of you let me do the talking." Bella said.
I saw that Tanya, Irina and Kate were all making their way over to us. I wondered what they wanted but then I remembered that they are succubus's. Well if Bella didn't have Tanya's power she did now. I don't want other people to try and take my mate away from me because she is a succubus.
'Don't worry it would never happen.' Bella whispered in my head.
"Why don't you two handsome fellows come with us well show you what it's like to have a real girl. We find that nerds are the best to have." Tanya said as she rubbed her hand up Garrett's arm. Kate was rubbing my arm but I couldn't feel her shock so Bella had her shield over us so that was good.
"I'm sorry the guys don't understand skank. See they are healthy nerds the only go after other nerds." Bella said in a geeky voice. "Which you two clearly aren't."
I heard Kate whisper to Tanya that her power wasn't working on me either.
"Sorry succubus but we have to get going now our plane is calling for us." Bella said in the geeky voice again.
"How did you know I was a succubus?" Tanya said.
"Easy just like how I know that your name is Tanya Denali. And these are your sisters Kate and Irina. We know all about you girls but we can't tell you who we really are." Bella said once again in the geeky voice.
"Who the hell are you to me that puny little human?" Tanya said.
"Your worst nightmare if you want to keep going. See you when we land Tanya." Bella said still with the geeky voice. "Shame there will be no male stewards on the plane for you."
With that we walked to our seats and Bella put both of us to sleep the only reason I knew that she put Garrett to sleep as well is because I could feel him under Bella's shield as well.
"I'm going to make them sleep as well so they don't try anything now that you guys are 'asleep' yes I know that you can still hear everything that is going on around you but your bodies won't let you move. Wait until we are nearly landing and listen to the girls going off about how they slept through the entire flight when they were planning on have a piece of both of you." Bella whispered.
The last flight of the day and it was rather peaceful I couldn't hear anything so I assumed that she put everyone but the flight crew under. Not bad Bella.
Once it got close to landing time she woke everybody up except the Denali's it was pretty funny I could feel their emotions and they weren't happy about anything.
"You might want to let them up soon. You don't want them woken up after we leave because they will kill a lot of people just to find us you know that don't you?" I said to Bella.
"Yeah don't worry I have the perfect time to wake them. They will be unhappy in a few minutes. We will be the only ones to hear them as well because they are going to rant and rave about being asleep for the first time in a long time." Bella said to me.
A few minutes later I started to hear sounds of the girls 'waking up' it was quite funny they woke up when turbulence hit. The girls were swearing up a storm and the three of us were trying not to laugh drawing their attention to us.
"They are now thinking that we had something to do with them sleeping but they don't know how we did it." Bella said. "Irina is thinking that I somehow got hold of Jasper's power and used it on them but she knows that he is 'dead' so she can't get her head around it. Don't worry they can't hear everything we are saying but don't say names really loud mouth them if you have too."
Ladies and Gentleman the plane will be landing shortly…" The steward started but I tuned him out why is it that I tune them out now.
"After we get off the plane we have to go to the nearest train station. G do you know any Russian?" Bella said.
"Just enough to get us by why?" Garrett asked.
"Good because you are going to be our translator till we hit Serbia than it's all me." Bella mouthed the word Serbia because she didn't want the Denali girls following us there.
Once we had landed grabbed our luggage and found the train station we had lost the Denali girls. Hopefully we don't encounter them again on our trip out of Russia.
Once on the train we settled down and took the fastest route to the main station at St Petersburg. So we could get our train out of the city as fast as possible. I could have sworn I smelt wet dog but worse once we got on the train but I didn't say anything but I know that Garrett smelt it as well the way his nose curled up at the smell.
"Yeah I know there are wolves here but they won't do anything unless provoked first. They think we are here to spy on them for Caius but what we really want is their help." Bella said.
"Is there some way for us to approach them?" Garrett asked her.
"Yeah but you are going to like it. Jasper is going to have to let the Major out to play. They haven't heard the news that you are dead yet so that works to our advantage for the time being." Bella answered.
"Bella are you sure that's safe for everyone?" I asked.
"Yeah it's the only way that doesn't end in bloodshed." Bella answered. "But you have to hurry because they are going to get a phone call shortly saying that you are dead."
"Here goes then." I said trying to go into the Major. It was easier as I got closer to the wolves because of the smell the Major didn't like the smell at all and wanted out.
"Hello gentleman my name's Major Whitlock and I was wondering if you would like to give us asylum in your area. We are on the run from people who believe we are dead. There are some out there that know we are still alive but we want the world to think of us as dead and we would like your help. My mate and my friend really need protection and you were the first people that we thought of to make that happen." I said in the Major's voice.
"Major Whitlock it is an honour to be in your presence. We would be glad to give you asylum as long as we have an understanding that you are not to kill any of us and we won't kill you. My name is Demetri and I will be glad to help you in any way that I can along with my friends." Demetri said.
"Thank you Demetri." I said shaking his hand not that I really wanted to and by the looks of it he didn't want to shake my hand either.
Garrett and Bella made their way over to us at that time so I introduced them.
"Demetri this is my mate Isabella and our friend Garrett. Garrett, Isabella this is Demetri." I said.
Just then Demetri's phone rang he excused himself to answer it.
I couldn't understand it because they were speaking Serbian by the sounds of his voice and some of the words I had heard before including my name. He hung up after talking to whoever was on the other end after a few minutes.
"It seems that your story checks out the world think of you as dead along with your mate here. There was no mention of you Garrett. What is your part in all this?" Demetri asked.
"I found them just as you had before I found out that the Major and his mate were 'dead'. I actually received the call from his brother Peter." Garrett answered truthfully.
"Yes it seems as he has been spreading the world. I was also informed by Peter that you were 'dead'. How he got my number I will never know. He even had a strange message for anyone seeking asylum from me. He said 'Hide for three months and I will find you after that'. I will take that to believe that he will be following in three months." Demetri asked that last bit.
"Yes he will be but you are to make it very hard to find us when he comes looking for us." I said. Still in the Major's voice.
"I'm helping you evade everyone so why should I make it easy for your family to find you." Demetri said.
"The only way to tell if they are a Whitlock will be to look for a tattoo on their body. So if possible get them to show it to you when they start to come looking. Most of them have them on their backs a select few have them on their chests." I said.
"I will be sure to check before I give away a vague location anyway. I have ways of telling if people are lying to me or not. Just like I know there is more to your story then just seeking asylum from me is not the only reason for you to come to me. Isabella I can even get through your shields so you shouldn't hide from me. Just wait until we are in a private cabin for that though because there are spies everywhere these days. Most of my friends are going to give me hell for working with vampires but they can't stay anything about it because it's forbidden to even talk about it without them hurting themselves. We were actually taking bets to see if you were in fact working for the Volturi when you made yourself known that you wanted to talk to me." Demetri said to us.
Once we found a cabin for us to stay on in the train Demetri pulled all the blinds down so we didn't have to hide who we were from him anymore. Bella took her shield off the three of us and Demetri gasped seeing all of us in our rightful forms.
"I now know who you are so you won't be able to hide back under your shield from me again even when you are hidden from others sight I will still be able to see your true forms. I will not tell anyone what you look like nor will anyone be able to get it out of me." Demetri said. "I will hide you not far from my home but far enough away so that you don't upset all the other wolves that live in the area.
You won't have to hide your true vampire selves Major and Garrett. You are free to walk around as vampires but only do so under Isabella's shield. I cannot guarantee that everyone will keep that Major Whitlock is under my protection a secret long. We will have to come up with new names for you if you are to live with my extended family. Major Whitlock you will now by known as Jason, Garrett you will be known as Garry and Isabella we have to change your name completely so you will now be known as Annabelle or Anna for short. Don't use your real names under any circumstances from here on out there are dire consequences for you if you do because if the Volturi find out that you are here they will not only kill you all but they will kill anyone that has come into contact with you here in Russia or my home town."
"What about others that have the same ability as you do? What if they see our true forms?" Bella asked.
"No one has the same abilities as I. I was supposed to be turned into a vampire not long after I was bitten by a real werewolf. I will tell you the story some other time. I already know everything there is to know about the three of you. It's a shame that young Edward was killed before he had the chance to redeem himself. I wonder how the afterlife is treating one like him will he come back or will he spend all his time believing that he doesn't have a soul." Demetri said. "It seems as if your memories have been tramped with at one stage in your lives. It wasn't by Jasper's friend Ryan no this is a total wipe from the time you left the Cullen family in that clearing until the time you left your family after Bella came out of her coma like state. But what happened in that time is your own unless you would like to share it with me. I can imagine you're wondering how I know that there is some time missing it's simple Isabella here has changed a lot over I'm thinking nearly a year since you left everybody in Forks, Washington behind?" Demetri said.
"Yes it must be close to a year now I'm not very good with the time line to be exact but I was nearly nineteen when we left and now I'll be twenty in a few months." Bella said.
Sometime over the next few minutes Bella put Garrett and I to sleep again. I couldn't really hear what Demetri and Bella were talking about so I didn't really pay attention to what was going on around me I knew that Demetri would look after us but I didn't really get why I should trust him it was just a feeling that I got off him even if I couldn't really feel him to begin with.
After being on the train for who knows how long Bella woke Garrett and me up and told us that we really needed to get moving if we wanted to beat the sun to get to our new place of residence. Once we were all off the train it was nearing daybreak and I knew no matter what she said I could feel that she was getting drained and I don't think she has had much sleep I mean she just came out of a coma after being in it for two months and she should be getting some sleep not trying to do whatever she is trying to do.
"You will be living with me for the first few days until we get a house built for you. Not everybody will be very accommodating to you when they find out what you are but they will not touch you under my protection. If they do cause you any trouble then I will deal with them." Demetri said quietly I'm assuming that he didn't want to wake anybody up.
"My house is at the centre of town so you will be within walking distance of anything. Hopefully we won't run into any trouble but you shouldn't with me. With you Garry and Jason we will bring you your food so you don't get people on the wrong side, because if they see you drinking from someone that doesn't deserve it then I won't even be able to help you. Hopefully we won't have any troubles with anyone." Demetri said once we got nearer to more people around.
He showed us around his house and told us what rooms we can and can't go into. Like his bedroom and his families rooms were off limits to us we would all be sharing the basement of the house as it was the only room big enough for the three of us and Bella had obviously told Demetri that we would like to live underground. When I looked around you would think that we were living back with the family because it looked just like the one we had just left in the States. I know for a fact that Demetri and his family and friends could not have heard from Bella or me to decorate the room exactly like we had it back there because that's exactly what it was like.
"Annabelle how did they get it to look as if it is back at the house in the States?" I asked her.
"I would have no idea. It looks exactly the same. I was out of it for a few months and you didn't even know that we were coming here until I woke up. You didn't tell anyone where we were going after I woke up did you?" She asked me.
"I have been with you this whole time I don't even have my phone on me anymore." I told her.
"I'll ask Demetri when he comes down later. They even have all the books that we like Jason." Bella said. "How am I going to remember what I am supposed to call you when we are out of the house? I am going to be so confused. I'm going to go to sleep for a while I've been up for a long time."
"J what did you guys mean this is exactly what the house in the States looks like?" Garrett asked.
"Well G, that is exactly what we are saying this is exactly what our wing of the house looks like at the house in the States. Down to the smallest detail." I said to him. Not long after Demetri came down.
"How do you like your accommodations? My wife made this place about a month ago she said that someone would need our pit so we got started on this place exactly how she told us to do it." Demetri said when he saw that we were still awake.
"Demetri did you say that your wife made this place from a dream?" I asked. "Because this is exactly like how the place in the States looks right down to the smallest detail. If I didn't know any better I would have sworn that I was at home in this place."
"Yes she dreamed this place up. I had no idea how she did it even it's like someone took over her body and told us exactly how to do it. It was quite funny watching all my friends getting bossed around." Demetri said. "I wonder how she knew what your house looked like."
"I was wondering that myself." I said.
"Even has some stuff for me in here J, I wasn't even with you a month ago I just found you not long before you guys decided that you would come here." Garrett said. "This is too freaky. J man your girl is freaky if she is doing this."
"I know what you mean there G. How in the world does she do it? She said that she couldn't even hear us when we were making plans and it was around the time that you wife made this place that we actually started to do something serious about getting away from everybody." I said shaking my head.
"Don't count her out like I know you are doing she will make a great vampire when she is turned. I for one cannot wait to meet her in her vampire form." Demetri said. "Oh the reason I came down here is because I have a system set up with the community around here, you will start getting blood later today because that is the earliest that we can get it for you."
"We'll be alright for now. We feed just before we left the States and we should be right for at least another day." Garrett said to him.
"What about if we collect the blood and store it correctly could you reheat it? Would it make any difference?" Demetri asked.
"That is how we were living in the States well that's how I was feeding anyway. My sister Rose is a trained doctor and knows all about this kind of stuff so she took care of all that. Do you have someone that can take the blood safely and store it correctly?" I said.
"Yes we have actually tried it once before when we had a vampire stay in this house once before. That is kept a secret though so please don't tell anyone around here." Demetri said. "I should tell you until we know that we can trust you we will send you your blood down this tube in canisters. Just so that the people get use to the fact that we have vampires in the area. Full moons are going to be a problem. We have to make sure that you three don't come out when we have full moons because this use to be where we housed all the werewolves. On the other side of this wall we had to extend the pit into the next house's basement as well and it's going to be hard with the smell right next door."
After talking for a few more minutes he went back upstairs and Garrett and I just sat around watching the TV that had been installed for us but neither of us could understand a word they were saying. We eventually found some channels that had some English language programs on where you could learn the language so we watched them for a few hours so we could at least watch TV in the language instead of making up our own stuff to what was going on in the programs we were watching.
