Things are getting really interesting in the Other world. We're going to get really deep into secrets in these next coming chapters. So let's go ahead and get started.
This chapter is dedicated to all of my younger cousins.
Chapter 5
As I watched Ruby drive away the exhaustion of the day started to hit. I was both mentally and physically exhausted. I turned to head inside when I heard a honk behind me.
Edward had just pulled up to the house. I smiled at him as he got out of the car.
"Was that Ruby I just saw driveway?" Edward enveloped me in a hug.
I stretched up on my toes and gave him a quick kiss. "Yes, it was."
"Something's bothering you." It wasn't a question.
Shaking my head I led the way into the house. "It's nothing."
Edward shut the door behind us. "So what's Blue Skies?"
I should have known that he had been listening. I turned to face him, a sigh escaping me. "Edward, I can't talk about it right now. Not yet," I added.
Thankfully Edward didn't push me for more information. "Turner was just over at my family's house."
I glanced around what I could see of the house. "Is he going to be stopping by here?"
Edward shook his head. "No Turner's not going to come out here. In fact, he's doing what he can to make sure he's not seen with you."
Turner didn't want to be seen with me? What was that about?
Edward sensed my distress, he rested his hands on my shoulders. "Turner has been following someone who has been keeping an eye on you."
I knew he was trying to imply something, but I just couldn't figure out what it was. My mind just was not up to the task.
Again Edward seemed to read the question for my eyes, and I was surprised to see worry in his own.
"Turner has been following Victoria."
I grimaced.
"Come on, let's sit down so we can talk." Edward led the way into the living room.
We sat down on the couch and I waited patiently for him to explain.
He took one of my hands, holding it firmly. "Turner has been following Victoria around for a while, throughout Washington, and parts of Texas. She knows that he has been following her, so he doesn't want her to find out that he knows you. He asked me to apologize for the distance, though."
It made a lot of sense for Turner to keep his distance. It wasn't like Turner was being rude, he was just trying to keep me safe.
"It looks like Victoria has been creating newborn vampires." Edward's words confused me.
I've heard just how hard it is to make a vampire. More often than not, the bloodlust overcomes the vampire and they end up killing them. It took a huge amount of control to create another vampire.
Edward ran his thumb across the back of my hand, gaining my attention. When I met his gaze I was startled to see the worry in his eyes. "Jasper thinks that she is trying to create a newborn army."
I visibly shuddered at the idea. I had learned about the southern vampire wars, a situation that was still going on.
Humans forced to become vampires, so they can fight a war for power hungry tyrants who only want to increase their territory. It was horrible. Any humans that weren't killed in battle were killed as soon as they started losing their newborn strength.
Edward sensed my rising panic. He wrapped his arms around me, quickly. "Sh love, everything is going to be alright. As of right now, she doesn't really know how to control them, and they keep destroying each other."
The involuntary shudder ripped through my body. "That just means more human have to be turned and eventually killed."
He nodded slowly. "Jasper thinks it will take her some time before she figures out how to really control them."
Something like this shouldn't happen. "Why isn't someone doing something about this? The Volturi or even the cleanup crew should be stepping in to stop her."
Edward shushed me again softly. "The cleanup crew has tried, but she is able to evade them. Turner says that they've also been having strange disappearances, so the Rebellion has called them back."
He sighed with annoyance. "In fact, the Rebellion has reason to believe that someone is helping her, that, and her gift of evasion, has made it almost impossible for her to be caught. With everything else going on the cleanup crew has forbidden their members to engage her unless they say otherwise."
Someone was helping Victoria? That wasn't good at all, and clearly whoever was helping her must be from the other world. Why else would the cleanup crew call back their members?
"So what happens know?" I asked worriedly. I didn't want to think about there being someone else besides Victoria to worry about. She was enough trouble on her own, and she was building an army.
All of this trouble just to kill me and get back at Edward. My head was spinning.
Edward brushed at my hair soothingly. "Turner is keeping an eye on her, and the rest of us are going to start training, so we're prepared to take on the newborns."
I grimaced at that. I didn't want anyone from my family to have to fight newborn vampires. They were just too strong. They could get hurt.
Edward sighed, no doubt hearing my racing heart and knowing how much I was panicking. "Emmett and Jasper have gone to the wolves to let them know about Victoria and her army."
He took his phone from his pocket. "They've already promised to help, whenever the army comes. From what Emmett said it seems that some of them are eager for the fight."
That or the idea of being able to kill some bad vampires for once. Seeing as they couldn't kill Laurent. That thought caused me to jump.
"Has she asked Laurent for more help?"
Thankfully Edward shook his head. "No. Carlisle called the Denalis to let them know everything Turner told us, and he thought to check in with Laurent. Victoria hasn't contacted him since he told her that you and the little girls were well protected."
"That's good. Are the Denalis going to come back down to help us with the newborns?"
He nodded. "Turner and Alice are going to keep us updated and when the time gets closer they will come down."
The idea of seeing them again actually made me smile despite the circumstances. It would be good to see them again. I could work with Kate on my… No, I couldn't. I couldn't use my shields.
"Bella everything will be alright, I promise." Edward clearly read my disappointment for worry. "We're going to train with the wolves and Jasper is going to teach us all we need to know about fighting newborns. Really, we will have plenty of time to prepare for this threat."
I nodded slightly. "I know, it's just that, I won't be able to help all of you."
He kissed the top of my head. "It's okay, Bella. There will be plenty of people to help protect you, and Anna, and Cissy. Please don't worry about it; worrying will only affect your transition negatively.
Again I nodded. "Alright." I tried to offer him a reassuring smile but I just couldn't muster one.
"Aren't you supposed to be calling someone about Blue Skies?" He changed the subject.
I really did, but there was something I had to do first. "We need to go talk to your dad before I can do that."
Edward gave me a confused look, silently asking me why.
"I can't talk about this over the phone, I'm going to have to go meet with this person to discuss what is going on. With that being the case, I don't know how long I'll be gone, so I'm going to need a doctor's note. There's a good chance I might miss a few days of school," I explained.
"You mean we might miss a few days?" The uncertainty in his voice was sweet. I knew Edward would want to come with me. I also knew my dad wouldn't want me to go alone.
"Yeah, we might miss a few days of school," I amended.
He gave me a breathtaking smile, excited about the trip now that he knew he could come along. "So where are we heading, I can book a hotel for the duration of the stay as soon as you find out how long we will be there."
I shook my head. "I have someone I'm pretty sure will let us stay at their place. In fact, I'm pretty sure that his wife will insist we stay with them."
Edward wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on top of my head. "Can we trust these people?"
I smiled at that. "Yeah, this family is really close to mine. In fact, the woman is my second mother."
For a brief second, I thought I say recognition light up in Edward's eyes, but it was so quick I wasn't sure. There was a good chance I was just seeing things.
"Second Mother?" Now I knew I had just been seeing things.
I nodded thoughtfully. "My kind has an ability to connect children to what is known as a second parent. Either another mother or another father. Basically, it is like a godparent, but much more responsibility for them."
Edward muttered an understanding. "That's interesting. So I'll get to meet your second mother."
I grinned, excited with the idea of getting to see Gi again. "Yeah, she and her husband live in Jacksonville Florida."
Author's Note
So this chapter was basically just a filler. Not much to it, but some suggested plot lines. I'm sorry it wasn't very long, but that's usually the case with fillers.
So what do you guys think is in Jacksonville? Are you excited to finally get to meet Bella's Second mother? If you are just now learning about second mothers the information goes more in depth in the Cullen's POV of Transitionals, Chapter 15 A, I believe.
Any guess what Blue Skies really is? Any theories about where Carlos and his mate Zay, is?
DON'T FORGET that I'll be on vacation next week so next Wednesday and Saturday, there won't be any updates.
I'll see you on the 12th for the next update for Transitionals Cullens' POV,
