A/N: Hai Again it's MoonPhase-! Well I liked this chapter because it finally has action – I didn't want a soppy all over story that was boring and went for 23847628934 pages. I would like some reviews on this – Got any ideas you want to share? I'm not into posting polls because I'd rather you sharing your own ideas. I personally can't wait for the trip to Egypt, but I think that I need to sort out a bit more into this story.
She stared at our embrace with Ice Cold Eyes. She didn't blink, she didn't shift. She just stared, and that look made me want to run. But I was a vampire now. She didn't know my shield, or my strength. All she had were her visions – that she was about to lose.
I threw up my metaphysical
shield, and drew Jasper into it.
I locked down an internal shield
that seemed to keep out most physical attacks too – or maybe it was
my imagination. – No, her eyes flashed, she could still see so she
saw the new change in the future. I was surprisingly happy at the
fact I had the upper hand.
My shield locked in, she was now blind. It was now that I looked around the area with a fighting view. Jasper had taught me how to fight, how to look at the real deal, aside from being a newborn. I was almost as good as him now and stronger than Emmett.
I turned and looked into another pair of Black eyes, but these were different. So similar. These were the eyes I gazed into for weeks on end, the eyes that I followed everywhere. Except these eyes were wrapped in a crimson haze. I looked into Alice's eyes, and saw the sorrow there. She knew what I had seen; she knew that I blamed her. But now I saw something else; she didn't care. She just didn't care.
I felt Jasper crouch behind me, and I followed. It was part of our dance, we both fought so similar. Both Catlike inside. I started the circle around our visitors, with Jasper behind. Alice started to snarl, it rumbled across my skin, like hot water shredding my granite skin. She came closer to me, starting her glide, and nothing mattered more than the fight with her.
She owed me love, she owed me
life.
She stole Edwards's sanity, and now she was trying to
steal Jaspers.
I pounced, and landed at her feet,
looking up into her face.
Her face fell, she stared into my now
black eyes and trembled.
Hatred skimmed across my features,
leaving me looking feral.
I didn't know where Edward and Jasper
were, I had to trust that situation.
Alice didn't see me move behind her, she tried to circle me but I was much too fast. We began the dance, not knowing where it would lead.
"Alice, when will you learn? You take other peoples happiness and shred it. I forgave you once – Hell I even trusted you as a sister again! And yet here you are!" I gestured at her feet, which had begun to shake. "You couldn't find love anymore in Edward's eyes, you wanted someone who truly loved you, so you came for Jasper." I snarled. "You couldn't bare with the fact that I was happy, that he was, and you weren't."
I tripped over to her and used my leg into her spine, and pulled with my hands. I felt a satisfying crunch before I could see the damage. Alice gasped at the pain she now felt – Pain she hadn't felt in over a hundred years.
"B-B-BELLA!" She screeched. I stopped; I didn't like causing her pain. This was minimal.
I walked over to her face,
and ran my finger across her throat. A slight line appeared on the
cold marble. She whimpered.
"Don't pick a fight you can't
win Alice, Don't mess with the people I love. One day I will
forgive you for coming here. One day. But that day isn't today, so
start begging. I will like us as sisters again, but until then stay
out of my sight. How did you know we were here?" I used a harsh
tone; she whipped around in fear in every word.
"Esme," she breathed. "She said you bought a cottage that I could help decorate. I smelt you and Jasper together and lost it; Edward saw my motives and wanted nothing more than to come with me. He isn't right Bella, He has l-l-lost it. I didn't know what to do, He isn't in there anymore. His future isn't even that clear anymore." She shook at the last bit; I only felt an ounce of pity. She came here preparing for my and Jaspers pain.
I turned to see that Jasper and Edward were gone – signs for struggled were evident. Jasper was still in my shield, I would find him. But that means…
I
slapped Alice Hard. Her face tilted with the force of it.
"You
will Burn in Hell Mary Alice, If Jasper is any less than the
condition I left him in. I will see your body burning and I will
dance whilst you die. Do you understand me?!" I was screaming at
her, she was tunnelling in fear. GOOD.
She whimpered and finally fell to the ground I raked my fingers up her cheek and whispered violently in her ear; "You'll live, but if he doesn't, I might reconsider."
Her face had a claw like tear from her chin to her hairline.
I felt the Amazons behind me, flanking me. Zafrina must have used her power because I saw Alice's eyes so blank, and she started to squeal.
"We will take care of her Bella," Zafrina spoke in battle mode. "We smelt Edward go deep into the forest."
I nodded to them, kissed them all briefly on the cheek, and ran.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I found them at the depth of the
Amazon. Jasper in a kneeling position with Edward prattling about how
he was going to kill him.
I started to shake with my anger,
trembling away.
I moved forward to Edward, He had a sneer on
his face. He thought he was on top of this match.
He was wrong.
I floored him in less than a
millisecond; he didn't even see me move.
I had Him locked within
my hands. Senna came up behind me and took my place. She came with a
small dead animal and fed it to Edward, she was right. He was insane.
He needed the blood, and the last thing I wanted to see were his
crimson, dead eyes.
He crawled to me after he finished his
meal, and shuddered on my lap. I held him, and felt nothing for him
but love. It was nothing of the love I felt for Jasper. It was the
love I felt for a younger brother, or sister. The love of protection,
of care. Sitting here in my arms I knew he was sick, and that I could
fix him.
I discovered something as I leaned close to his face,
holding him.
Inside my shield, I could read his mind; I could turn
his power against him.
I heard shreds of life within him – flits
of thought.
He was obviously not well, but it was scary that I
knew that.
Left him with Senna, and walked over to Jasper.
He
looked at me with wild eyes – I could feel his emotions rumbling
across his skin, knowing I could use it against him – but never
would.
He stared at me with violent emotions – Fear, Hope,
Heartbreak.
I looked at him in confusion, and then kissed him
on the lips.
He pulled away and looked down at the ground, I
gasped.
He saw me with Edward, and Worried that I had gone to
him!
I almost hit him in the moment of passion, but hey I was a better newborn than that! I leaned in, holding his face. Kissing him so passionately that I could feel my emotions pulsing into him like a drug. He held my face and kissed me back – although he only felt hope. I leaned away from him and whispered into his ear; "I love you Jasper, Only you. No one else has made me feel this way." I kissed his jaw line, and used my lips to trail across his skin. I kissed his shoulders and neck; he moved in to hold me close.
"I'll go set up at the cottage Bells," He whispered. "Tell the Amazons our apologies and thanks, we need to move Edward into the Cottage and Call Carlisle, I know you will be happy to see your father." He smiled at the end, then leaped to his feet, me following In tow.
He grabbed Edward into his arms; I stroked both of their faces. Jasper smiled, and Edward attempted but only came with a ghost of one.
Bad things are done by good people, but the good part of you always finds a way to make it even – even if it means pain every day.
Most people can run from their
enemies, their friends and love.
But they can't run from
themselves;
And Edward found out the hard way.

I turned to Senna,
to Kachiri,
To Zafrina.
I bowed, and they wept.
They were the
closest thing I had to best friends at the moment; even to family.
And they had helped save us; they had allied us and helped us.
I smiled so brightly that it would have scared a human, and they did a rare thing; they hugged me.
I kissed them all on the cheeks and knelt by their feet, their symbol from ancient times – of servitude, thanks and forgiveness.
They gasped and grabbed me by the arm, pulling up so that I was now standing in the middle of their circle.
"Bella, you are not second to us, you must never think that." Senna whispered – Outraged.
"But Senna, I was a monster! I hurt someone! I could have killed her!" I started to shake, sobbing dry tears.
Zafrina came to me and wrapped her arms around my slender shoulders, Senna stroked my hair and Kachiri held my hand.
There are some things you can't do by yourself, and I guess that this was one of them.
"You hurt her, but she
deserved it," Kachiri spat angrily. "She came here intending your
death and taking the love of Jasper back to her own. She thought you
were SECOND to her? You are so much more, Jasper shows that. You
merely did what you have to. Plus being a vampire makes you more
violent toward harm, especially to your mate." They kissed me on
the cheek. All in perfect timing.
3 limbs of one organism.
I sent Jaspers thanks and started to walk; I found my Oasis and travelled around it for some time, brushing my fingers against the flames of leaves and ferns.
Where
did time stop? Alice used to be my best friend, my sister.
Now
she's my enemy?
Maybe it will change; I think I could forgive
her.
Maybe.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I ran back to the house and found Jasper waiting for me. He wrapped his arms around me and leaned into my neck – no doubt inhaling my skin – just to make sure I wasn't his imagination.
"Carlisle is on his way Bells. I think we should move as soon as he gets here. Maybe postpone our trip to Egypt, and go straight to Denali? That's where the family is now. I hear that Charlotte and Peter are around there somewhere. I think it's best that we go back there now, I'm sure you'd love to see Esme." He smiled half heartedly to the end; It broke my heart to see it.
But something else caught my eye – he didn't say 'Go Home' he said go there. Did he not think of it as a Home now? Did he feel like a nomad without a place to stay? Sure we had the cottage – but it was only small and for the Amazons sake.
Jasper looked at me pointedly, waiting. I realised the empath was confused at my confusion – I found that ALMOST humorous.
"You didn't say home," I whispered, now speaking into his soft honey blonde hair. "I was worried, that you didn't feel like you had one anymore, that you felt like a Nomad."
He smiled then, a true smile. He kissed me on the cheek, my forehead, my ears and finally my mouth.
"Belle, wherever you are, is home. I have never felt more at home than in your arms. Your skin, your eyes, and your scent – Nothing holds me more than that. I don't need material possessions; I don't need a house by the beach or by the forest. I only want you, I only NEED you."
He got down on his knees and pulled at my arms for empathise, I giggled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
We decided that checking on Edward was Host like, and went to see him in the guest room. We had designed it in a modern mahogany wood and black style. It was dark, yet classy. It had an air of smells, the forest, Cotton, and an insane vampire. Nice.
I sat next to Edward and stroked his hair; Jasper sat at the end of the bed and picked up some security system data recoils. He started to lock in the perimeter, creating a warning for when Carlisle would arrive, and to protect the house. All the glass was bullet proof – even though bullets wouldn't hurt us. The wood was plated with steel, almost as strong as our skin. Cameras at every angle.
We also had some cameras
around the Amazons perimeter, for video conversations, and for their
protection. It was hard to hide them so Humans wouldn't see them.
How odd it would be to travel into the forest further than any other
human – and find security cameras.
The thought made me giggle.
"Edward, Carlisle will be here any minute." I said, speaking to him directly.
He jumped a little bit – startled. Good, a reaction. He nodded and then lie further into the bed.
I got up, kissed him on the forehead – Lay out some clothes of Jaspers on the edge of the bed, along with a towel and some expensive fragranced shampoos.
Jasper got up when I was finished and took my hand – leading out of the room.
We walked into the lounge room area. This room was pretty boring, since we only did the guest room and then realised that Esme would want to do all of this. I suspected that she would be back here soon to fix it. I was actually excited to see it.
Jasper took me to the couch and lay down, resting me on top of him, facing the roof. We stayed like that for a while – Waiting.
A few minutes later, small sounded alarm went off, and Carlisle's face was printed on the screen. Jasper smiled, I knew he would enjoy seeing his father of so many years.
Carlisle reached the door to knock, but we had opened it in seconds. Vampires remember?
We let him in politely, then I
jumped on him smiling ear to ear.
"CARLISLE!" I shouted
hugging him close.
I could hear Jaspers quiet laughter, and then
Carlisle broke into a fatherly laugh of bass and melodies.
He
gave me a squeeze and a kiss on the cheek – then set me down to the
ground. I looked out the door and saw that Alice was there, Jasper
failed to mention that.
She was sitting down with her knees to
her chin, looking down at her toes.
Esme was there next to her;
Checking her to see if she was ok. But not in the motherly way she
used to have, it was like Alice had broken that love in her – I
guessed why.
Esme rushed to the steps and encased me in her hugs and kissed which I returned gladly.
Jasper and Carlisle went into Edward's room, I could hear them discussing what had happened – both with College degrees, I guessed that they knew a hell of a lot more than me – well, knew.
I took Esme on a tour of our
cottage; she swooned at its mystique. It was far away from all human
civilisations and the only transport I allowed was motorbikes which
of course we had to buy when we went to Mexico. I laughed at the
thought of seeing those car rentals and salesmen again.
(A/N:
MoonPhase-: Hahahahaha! Clue for next chapter.)
Carlisle came out white faced,
Jasper looked disturbed.
Carlisle went outside and got Alice by
the arm, dragging her inside. He quickly got a small animal from
outside – a Rabbit by the looks of it. – And fed it to her. She
drank it and stared lovingly at her father – which he looked away
in disgust. – Maybe he was hoping for her to change after she had
fed.
"Alice, I think you have somewhere to go for a few years." He whispered. Esme took in a large breath of air, but didn't complain.
"Carlisle, Don't worry! She's more a part of the family than I, It does not matter – I will stay away from the family, It's my fault." I gasped, so shocked.
He shook his head and gave me a pained expression, "Bella, You ARE a part of our family – You joined us together and made us one. You changed us! Alice's wrongs have shown me that she no longer has a place in this family until she thinks she is In a better frame of mind, which could be a while away."
Alice turned to him then, and whispered in a small voice. "You are asking me to leave Father?"
Carlisle looked pained and stared into her eyes. "Don't call me Father."
Ouch.
Please review, I desperately need to know what you think!? I can still change a few things; I swear that Edward will retain mental balance.
Please remember – No reviews – No updates.
