Into the Woods

Chapter 46

One month later on the Summer Solstice
"Take off your clothes." Edward grunted as soon as Bella put the car in park.
She gave him a glare but saw the dark inkiness of his eyes and she instantly knew he was serious. Dark Edward was not one to mess with.
She had barely pulled the shirt over her head before the growling started.
That was not a new thing, but it was mostly reserved for when they were deep in the woods.
Bella felt the vibrations as she opened the car door, running for the house.
It was on.
His eyes tracked her movements as her wings flared out.
But she made the mistake of looking behind her and he was already midair about to pounce.
She squealed, jumping from the ground as her wings fluttered aimlessly behind her. But she lifted several feet up before he grabbed Bella and forced her to the ground.
He was an impatient one.
"Bella," he growled out, lips slightly twitching as he fought to control himself. She could only laugh a little, moving slightly to get more comfortable on the soft, grassy ground.
"What is it, vampire?" She asked with wide, innocent eyes and enjoyed curl of his lip as he showed her his sharp teeth.
"I want to bite you," he snarled, thrusting his prominent erection into her torso, "So fucking badly. I want to taste that sweet nectar of life drain from you and into me as I come in into you."
"Ugh! What's stopping you!?" Bella gasped as he pulled at her the skin of her neck with his lips.
Edward chuckled, pulling away as his hand went between them, pulling and tearing the fabric.
"You want this life? You want it, Bella?" He tore at her underwear and in one swift movement and a little bit of venom lubrication, he was inside her.
Eyes squeezed tight, she panted little frenzied breaths as his thrusting ground her into the lush grass.
She could tell this wasn't going to be sensual, but rough and animalistic.
"You want it, Bella?" He growled head back as he fucked her with abandon. There was a good chance if he didn't change her that she may need help walking away from this sexual experience.
"Yes, more than anything." She grunted, grabbing at his hard shoulders as Edward pushed and pulled inside her. "You know that."
But it had never been like this before.
Never so frenzied.
Animals started screeching away from Edward's movements and growling.
The fairies fluttered close by, ever watchful of the lust and love, making sure their Bella was safe.
Even the Banshee's lights glowed from her tree.
The Wraith's long shadows darkened the forest around them, ever watchful.
But Bella suddenly screamed, her head tilted back in ecstasy as Edward gripped her tight, flush breasts as they bobbed with their movements. Eyes squeezed shut as her body tried, vainly, to grasp and hold him inside her, clenching his erection as tightly as her body possibly could.
"Fuck," He groaned, his eyes rolling back as her sweet, fragrant essence coated his cock, and filled his acute senses. He took a deep, guttural breath in, with nostrils flaring.
That was all it took.
He was no longer a teenage male, but a completely erratic, animalistic vampire as he pinned her down to the ground and held her in place. He plunged inside of his mate. He pulled back and pushed in as she grunted and took each of his punishing movements. Her eyes closed, her lips plumped, as he bent forward to kiss and bite at them. He drew blood, tearing the delicate flesh, and bent to suck the ruby read beads of blood before sealing the cut with his venom.
He fucked her with everything he had.
"Edward!" Bella screamed out, barely face to face, and turned her head, exposing her long pale neck.
Her erratic heart beat thrashed under her skin and he took it as an invitation.
He bit her, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of hot blood.
Finally, Edward came in venomous spurts that seared her from the inside as his venom seeped into her bloodstream with fiery intemperance.
He sealed the crescent wound.
Edward pulled away from his mate when she started to scream. Her body was thrashing and clenching him, as he bit down on her wrists, sealing the wounds with venom.
"It's okay, my love," He whispered softly, his eyes no longer black but were his normal gold tinged with red. He pulled out of her carefully and covered her swiftly with his coat before he pulled up his pants.
Her jaw clenched tightly in pain, body rigid.
All he could do is watch her suffer and wonder if this was the right thing to do.
He looked around, seeing that he was being watched aptly with little scornful faces, but they didn't interfere. He gestured toward the house and told them they would be welcome to watch over their Bella.
Picking her up carefully, Edward started to walk toward his house- their house, deep into the woods. They would stay there to complete the burning change that would take Bella's human life and start her vampire life.
.
"What is it?" Bella frowned seeing the small box addressed to her, from her mother.
"Open it," Edward smiled, laughing at her stunned face.
They had heard from Renee from time to time, but she almost never sent packages. The last time she did it was Kama Sutra book straight from India along with some very disturbing condoms from Amsterdam. One condom had a mushy elephant head where another was a tiger.
Apparently they were not just a novelty item, much to Bella's horror from Renee's overshare.
"You open it," she countered, eyeing Edward loathingly. "I haven't recovered mentally from the last package."
But he just laughed.
"She's not my mother, so you have to open it."
Bella growled and put the box down on the table.
"You're just going to leave it there?" Eyes full on mirth, Edward watched as Bella nodded her head and started to walk away. "You can't just leave it there! What if she sent you a snack?"
Bella gasped in horror, imagining some poor little animal inside. Bella turned toward the package, eyes wide. "She wouldn't!" She wouldn't out it passed Renee.
"Well, she wouldn't send cookies, would she? Besides, why else would there are little holes on the side of the box... could be air holes."
Bella screeched and ran toward the box as Edward just chuckled.
She studied the box, not seeing any holes. "You're evil! There are no air holes! Besides, you can't send live animals in the mail."
"Who said they were live? They could be on ice."
"I'm not talking to you. Alice's is clearly rubbing off on you."
Edward just laughed louder as he shook his head, walking away.
"You could always send it to Alice as a present." Edward said as he sat in his favorite chair and pulled up the Netflix to settle into a marathon of Dexter.
Edward really liked Dexter.
He said he reminded him of himself when he was first turned.
The vigilante murderer.
"She's still upset with me," Bella sighed.
Edward laughed, remembering the whole ordeal.
.
Alice started to sing, "Oh, you were a vampire and baby, I'm the walking dead, oh, you were a vampire, and baby, I'm the walking dead."
Bella hissed and held her claws out when Alice suddenly grabbed her hand.
Visions, laced and blotchy, invaded her vision as Bella's lip curled and then she growled.
"Calm yourself," Alice pleaded afraid to let go of her, but couldn't see when she was touching her.
"NO! Enough! Don't touch me without asking me," Bella seethed, holding her hand in her strong newborn grasp.
Alice's eyes were wide in shock, unseeing and now avidly trying to get out of Bella's clutch.
It was futile.
In a low, dark voice, Bella looked at Alice, eyes narrowed and lips curling. "At the café, I told you I didn't want to know about the burned man and the woman screaming... you didn't listen. You grabbed my hand and you showed me anyway… You never listen!"
"But… But-"
Bella growled, showing her sharp vampire teeth and making Alice quiet.
"TWICE!" Bella screamed, making nearby birds flutter from their nests.
"Bella," Alice pleaded. She could see her fearful reflection in Bella's blood red eyes.
"Should I remind you of the whole tree nightmare?"
Bella didn't even wait for an answer and Alice didn't even see it coming. Her dimmed eyes looked to the sky as Jasper growled, hissed, and screamed.
Bella jumped into a nearby tree, Alice in tow, and suddenly pushed her from the tree.
Alice squealed as she fell down, suddenly given her foresight, again, and landed on her feet.
"Keep your panties on Jazzy," Emmett sighed. "You're girl will be fine."
"I don't want to lose my temper, but, just… don't touch me without asking me, okay?"
Alice's eyes fluttered, mouth gasping in shock as she nodded her head in agreement. She moved toward Jasper and let him gather her up in his arms before he ran away.
"Come, let's go hunt. You need a Snickers or something." Edward pulled at Bella and she nodded before they disappeared into the woods.
.
"When are they coming back?" Bella sighed, still feeling bad about her temper that day. But she was a newborn and had enough of Alice and her abilities.
Edward hummed, looking away from the TV, "They're back, just staying to their selves until Jasper decides not to destroy you."
"Ah, good idea, then, I guess."
"Open the box Bella." Edward gestured toward the box again and watched as Bella padded over to the ominous package.
Carefully, she opened the box and pushed away the tissue paper. She grabbed a white mesh satchel of black, shiny obsidian rocks.
Bella eyed the rocks and then looked at Edward who just shrugged and said, "I wish I could say I'm surprised."
She agreed with a scowl before putting the rocks to the side and pulled out the little note card at the bottom.
Reading her mother's script aloud:
"Dear Bella,
I am almost sorry for being the crazy protective mother with good intentions but always making bad decisions. I am an optimist though and think that these stones will really help absorb the negativity that is in Forks… Well it's a start anyway… I doubt they'll help Charlie. HAHA!
Anyhow, follow the instructions I've enclosed by placing the rocks around the affected areas. Say the little blessing and hopefully, nature will do its job.
Oh! And I am sure you know, but I met the elusive Aro! But he doesn't seem to like me much, I don't know why. Perhaps I come on a little too strongly or the whole dinner debacle... Or perhaps it could have been the present I gave them. Who knows?
Some people don't have a sense of humor, these days.
Alas, they were happy to see me and Dem, go.
Anyway, Dem is taking me to the Swiss Alps, I cannot wait! I am going to go do my whole rendition of the Sound of Music live.
It's going to be Epic.
Dem will take video, don't worry.
See you soon,
Love,
Mom."
Bella sighed, sitting hard on the chair.
"So, more rocks, huh?" Edward laughed as he motioned for his mate to come to him.
"She's clearly unhinged," Bella shook her head as she sat down on Edward's lap, happier once his arms draped around her.
"Yeah, well, let's hope it isn't hereditary, then." Edward teased, earning a smack from Bella as they slipped into the quiet entertainment of Dexter.
.
Billy Black sat in his house stating out the window, wondering if what he saw was the truth or a cruel joke.
It was Jake.
He stood there, his eyes hard and staring just beyond the tree line.
But there was something else. There were wisps of red hair dancing in the breeze, barely noticeable, but he could see a small pale face with golden eyes that seemed to shine. Her hand grasped Jake and pulled him backward; his eyes softening as he turned toward her and then he nodded.
Just as soon as Billy had seen them, they were gone.
Billy rubbed his eyes and looked again, but the moment had passed.
He shuffled his wheelchair back inside his home and shut the door.
"Come visit me again, please." He said loudly.
The familiar howl came in the distance not a moment later.
Billy smiled and turned on the TV for the game, his heart much lighter than it was minutes before.
.
"I knew you could do it!" Edward laughed eyes bright. "Maybe you just needed to be stronger with the vampire aspect to be able to fly."
Bella swooped by and grabbed at Edward but he was too fast and she was too new with trying to control her flying.
"I know! This is so weird, but fun,"
"We need to keep this a secret, though." Edward said quietly, waving his hands to get his mate to come back down to him, as he looked around for anyone who could have seen them.
"Why?" Bella asked, covering her breasts as she allowed the wings to fuse back to her back. Once fused, she tied her halter and grabbed her jacket Edward was holding out to her.
"Because, Aro- and the Volturi – is still a threat. They would definitely come after us."
Bella bit at her lip, deep in thought, then smirked, "No, not if I come after them, first."

Lyrics: "Oh, you were a vampire and baby, I'm the walking dead, oh, you were a vampire, and baby, I'm the walking dead." By: Concrete Blonde
Thank you for going on this journey with me. I hope it was as good- if not better- than the first go around. It's one of my favorite stories and I am thankful to have shared it with you.
I love each of your reviews, your ragey ones and the ones where you hypothesize on where it's going, and the ones where you leave a smile or correct my mistakes (which I do fix, thank you!) It's been wonderful and I'll miss hearing from you. I'm on FB, of course, so you can find me there, too. I have pics of one of my paintings on the cover page.
I hope to see you at the TFMU 2020 in Austin this summer!
Be well!
