I don't own anything Twilight. All Characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. I just like to mess with 'em; SM would kill me if she knew what I did with them.

Thanks to everyone who added me to their favorites and those of you who are now following me. That makes me so happy!

Here we go again. Peter's words are never to be considered "wholesome" or "family friendly." He's harsh, graphic, and beyond rough. Please proceed with caution, adult language, 18 and older please.

Crimson Knight

Chapter 9

Peter's POV

Grrrrr! Motherfucker! This was boring ass shit; another day hanging out waiting for Jasper to get outta high school, and for what? So he can play nice with the Cullen's and stay in a crappy little town longer. He's damn lucky that there's just over a month or so of this shit left. Then it's summer vacation for him; he's reassured me of this, fucker! Next time, I'm making sure his ass is not attending school when I make a prolonged visit.

Hell, I never thought I'd be here this long to begin with anyways. How Bella Swan got her hooks in me this deep is mind-blowing. I crossed paths with a simple human girl, and I was simply captivated by her? Me? The ever strong and stealthy Captain, I was completely fuckin' awestruck.

This bullshit of staying away from her while she was in school was gonna get old really fuckin' fast. I couldn't stand this feeling. I needed to be near her, and I had to be close to her. I could feel her now, so I could only presume she could feel me as well. Yeah, if I leave Forks, her ass is coming with me!

I could possibly go see her today after she gets in from school. Carlisle gave an order to his "children" to avoid Bella like the plague last night and today to give her some space. She needed space after that fuck-up of a day she had on Saturday because of that hypocritical little fuck Eddie. They were told to approach her only if she asked them to. But I'm not his 'child'; I could do as I wished.

Fuck! Only one more hour to go, but this was totally fuckin' asinine! I'd have to stay closer tomorrow. Hell, maybe I could talk her outta ever going back again. Huh, wishful thinking, I don't know how I could ever get her to do that. Besides, I doubt her father would let her drop out. Wait, maybe I could get in? Maybe I could do this school thing too? What! Wait a minute Peter, you pathetic, stupid, son of a bitch. What the fuck were you talkin' about? I was not attending high school for any fuckin' reason!

Okay, I needed something to do now. I needed something more to kill my time, or I'd go fuckin' insane from waiting. Going to high school, I must have been on the right track to the insane asylum!

I decided to head out toward my new favorite little spot in a small clearing. Sure it might be a little closer to town, but, hell, I'd be ok with that.

I propped myself up on the boulder that resided in the little area and leaned back to watch the wind blow by. I had lain there peacefully for fifteen minutes before it happened. It felt like my entire chest cavity caved in on itself. Like something or someone had just dropped a fuckin' bomb on me, I jolted up so fast it startled the birds nearby, and I was on my feet in a flash. What the fuck had just happened? She's….I didn't fuckin' know what Bella was. I'd never felt this shit before!

All of the sudden, a strange vibration hit me. It took me several moments to realize it was my cell buzzing in my pocket. Jasper, what did he know? A text from him came thru.

Meet me in the clearing in 30 min. –J

Thirty minutes, how was I gonna make it 30 more minutes before I found out what happened? I had to know more, so I shot him a text in return.

What the fuck just happened? I can feel her. Is she ok? –P

I waited patiently for his answer. Come on fucker! What happened? While clutching my cell in my hand rather tightly, I paced back and forth in the clearing waiting, just waiting.

Yes. I can't think or say more now. Just meet me, don't come here! –J

Don't come here? Don't come here? What the fuck? My first instinct was to go there! He knew this. Why would he ask me to stay away? I had no idea, but I trusted my brother with everything that I am, and that includes my mate.

Holy shit! Did I just admit to myself that Bella was my mate? I knew I had thought about it being true. I'd confessed it to Jasper, but had I really acknowledged it to myself before now? I didn't think I had let it sink in, not really.

He couldn't think or say more right now? That could only mean it had to do with Alice or Edward's stupid ass. If he couldn't think anymore right now, then I was willing to bet it was the stupid asshole that caused this problem. I'm gonna kill him before my trip is thru, the little meddling motherfucker! What had he done now? If he had hurt one hair on her head, I was gonna rip him limb from limb. I'd be damned! I didn't care if the Cullens would be happy about it or not! Fuck with my mate and you'd be fucking with your own final death.

I needed to get my nerves calmed down before Jasper came, so we could actually talk instead of me going batshit crazy on him. I took the nearest branch and began to peel the bark off of it. I smiled. I used to make spears outta these when I was a kid. If only a wooden spear could kill a motherfucker like Edward Cullen, I'd stake his ass right now! It's too bad that some of the old vampire folk lore is false. Either way, he's dead again if he has hurt her.

I'd made three good hunting spears when I finally heard Jasper approaching the clearing. I didn't even give him time to get thru the line of trees before I started with the interrogation.

"What the fuck, Jasper? What the hell happened? Is Bella alright? What did he do?" I could instantly feel the pings on the edges of my shield; there was no way I was letting that shit in. I didn't want to be calmed the fuck down right now, and he needed to stop that shit!

"Stop that shit right now, Jasper! Just spill your guts, damn it!" I was growling at him by the time I was finished. My hands were in fists at my sides, and my chest was heaving like I actually needed the breaths I was clinging to.

Jasper came thru the line of trees with his hands held up in a calm manner. This was a tactic that worked well allowing others a moment to realize that you meant no harm without saying actual words. I relaxed a fraction at the sight in front of me.

"She's physically fine, Peter. Calm down so I can tell you what I felt." Physically? What the fuck did he do?

"What you do mean physically? What did he do to her, Jasper?"

"Alright sit down, calm yourself, Pete. Her physical being is all right. She's fine."

"Why do you keep saying physical? Jasper, tell me what's going on, now please."

"I really don't know what he did to her Peter. I'm sorry; I don't. It was the last class of the day. They share Biology together." Oh, great, I let out the breath I'd been holding, holding onto it for my dear sanity apparently.

"She'd had feelings of worry and resentment all day. Those were coupled with longing, frustration, and pain. Now, before you freak out, I think the pain was something similar to what you were feeling all night and more than likely all day today, until a while ago at least."

"So, you think she feels it, too? She can feel me?" I had to know that she did. Jasper let out a long sigh, ran his hand thru his hair, and shook his head at me.

"I can't tell you what happened, Peter. All I know is that she started talking to him in class; we could all hear them. She pretty much told him that they needed to do their work, and she wanted him to dissect the frog they had to work on, and he laughed about it. He left her alone, and they didn't talk much after that until he apologized to her for his actions this weekend."

"So he didn't touch her? I'm confused Jasper what are you trying to tell me? Just spit it the fuck out!"

"Her feelings changed completely, Peter, like a total one eighty. He apologized, and she accepted it. Then she actually fuckin' apologized to him for her disobedient behavior toward him. I was livid, to say the least, when I heard her say this. I may have caused a few fights on the grounds today with my projecting." A slight smile crossed his face. I knew he was trying to lighten my mood, but it wasn't happening, no fuckin' way was it happening.

"How could this happen, Jasper? How was she when they left the classroom? Did you see her?"

"I waited a moment while they came out; they acted just like nothing had happened. She had avoided us all day. Then they walk out of class together, he had her books in his hands, and his other arm was around her shoulder just like before." Jasper shook his head in disbelief. This boggled even his mind, and he was at least in hearing range of the incident.

"Jasper, the pain I'm feeling changed right before you sent me the text. Do you think, as I do, that this is a direct result of her feelings changing? Damn it, what happened, Jas? What could've fuckin' happened for her to change her feelings so drastically? And cause this change in me?" I was up and pacing again now. My vampire mind was deep in thought. I know a lot of shit, but this shit was something rare. What did he do? What could this little piece of shit have done to Bella now?

Jasper was up with me now; he'd passed me in the middle of the clearing and turned on the opposite side just as I did. We were pacing like this for some time before our heads snapped up in unison like we shared the same mind. In some instances in our time together, it felt that we did. Our eyes locked in realization. But there could be no fuckin' way this asshole knew how to do that. Could he? None of the Cullen's had mentioned it before, but, then again, glamouring wasn't something that every vampire could do.

Sure you had your vampire gifts of allure or persuasion, but glamouring wasn't something that every vampire could do. Hell, I'd love to have that skill under my belt.

"Holy fuckin' shit!" One mind had led to one sentence released by two separate mouths.

"You don't think it's possible, do you?"

"I don't know, Peter! I don't know. I've never heard anything about him being able to do that; it's not just something everyone can do as you already fuckin' know."

"I swear to everything fuckin' holy, Jasper, if he glamoured her…." I didn't have to finish.

"I know Peter, and I'll help you!"

"What do I do now? How do we get it to stop?" Damn it all to hell. Edward Cullen was digging his own grave right now.

"Garrett!" Again, same mind, two mouths.

"Pete, do you still keep in contact with him? His cunning ass knows the art of glamouring. If we can't figure out how to get her to snap out of it, I mean if that is indeed what he did, then we may need to take a trip and see Garrett."

"Yeah, that clever bastard finds me all the time. I haven't seen him in quite awhile now, so I figure he'll track me down soon. I have to go see her Jasper. I have to see what the fuck is going on. How did he do this in the middle of class with everyone around and you guys close by, anyway?"

"You can't go right now, Peter. You have to stay close to me. I need time to block this shit from him. You can go tonight once he's left to go to her hou…" I wasn't gonna let him finish it.

"I can't stand him being near her like that. He can't go there anymore, Jasper."

"We have no choice right now, Peter! NONE! You have to let him believe we don't know what's going on. You have to have faith that Bella will feel her way outta this. It's gotta wear off sometime, right? I promise, brother, we'll make sure your girl is safe. I don't believe he'll hurt her. I just don't understand why he felt he needed to glamour her like that. Was it to keep her feeling attracted to him? Did he do it before? Oh, fuck, for her sake, Peter, I hope he didn't. That would mean he's been keeping her that way all this time. Right?"

"Grrrrr!" I didn't want to hear that my mate could've possibly been glamoured for months before I met her. I couldn't take anymore; the rage within me began to boil; my body began to convulse violently with the steady growls that were leaving it. Deep snorting breaths of air were forced in and out of my chest; Diablo de Pedro was dying to take control now. I never felt the need to cage my beast like Jasper did; he chose to do this for the sake of his family and new lifestyle. My beast was constantly running violently inside of me waiting for his turn to rise to the surface. Right now the way things were going, he'd have his day in the sun.

"Calm yourself, Diablo!" I heard Jaspers unyielding shouts in the very corner of my mind. He was desperate right now.

"You need to calm him down, Peter! You must take control! It has to be you. If you let Diablo de Pedro out, you don't know what he'll do. Bella doesn't need to meet him yet!"

I couldn't stop him. I wanted to rein him in so bad; I knew I needed to—for her. Before I knew what was happening, Diablo de Pedro was off like a bolt of lightning taking us toward the home of our mate.

I had never fought so hard to control him in all my vampire life. He was free to roam anytime he wanted to; I had to do what I could. I felt the loss of control of my limbs to the beast within. Diablo de Pedro was on the loose. Fuck!

I could feel my mind; he had me so trapped right now. I had to try it. I could feel Jasper hot on our heels; I could feel my shield, strong and true. I did the only thing I could think of; I dropped my shield as fast as I could. My unrelenting rage took Jasper to his knees along with it.

Almost instantly, I felt Jasper. He was back up and forced peace, calm, and love at us as fast and as much as he could. Diablo stopped right in his tracks and rounded on Jasper. He knew Jasper. He knew his brother; I love my brother, and apparently Diablo de Pedro does, too.

"Calm down, it's alright. I know you wanna kill right now, Diablo, but you can't. For Bella's sake, you can't." Jasper slowly approached me and touched my shoulder. My body began to calm, and within moments, I was free and clear again. The rage subsided, and Diablo de Pedro was contained within me once again.

"Motherfucker!" I hung my head in shame. Diablo de Pedro had acted rashly which is no less than a beast would act. I had to control him better. At least for Bella's sake, I had to.

"Thank you, Jasper. I tried to stop him, but he took control of my legs, and the only way to get a hold of him again was to drop my shield. Thank fuck you acted as fast as you did."

"It's not a problem, Peter. You know I'm always going to be here for you. Now, let's get you fed and back to the house. Once you've eaten, you'll feel much better."

Countless pieces of society's trash later, Jasper and I were on our way back to the Cullen place. I'd stopped, so he could hunt along the way as well. I'd taken in so much blood this evening that I was feeling bloated from the excess. I'd not needed so much fuckin' blood in so long. I had no problems keeping myself under control, and my hunting trips were few and far between. That's something I'd perfected over the years, but today's outrage taking a toll on my body was another thing all together.

"I need to tell you more Peter."Jasper was wiping the blood from his mouth as he approached me, reeking of deer and whatever the fuck else woodland animal he had gotten into. His new sweater vest had been ripped along our way. Alice would have a fit about that one. I shook my head nodding to his clothes. Jasper just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't give a fuck about the clothes she picked; he loved her in spite of that shit.

He sat his ass down beside me on the log I'd been sitting on while I waited for him to finish his meal. I simply raised an eyebrow to him at his words; because I was not sure he could fuck up my day any worse than it already has been. A simple jerk of my head backwards let Jasper know he could continue when he was ready.

"Alice can see her again. Now before you ask, we're not sure why. We didn't have much time to talk before I met up with you, and, of course, we can't really talk about it at home until Edward is gone."

"She can find her now; she's not just a fuzzy spot?" Jasper nodded his head in confirmation for me.

"Yeah, almost as soon as Bella started to apologize, Alice saw her and was bouncing off the walls excited and relieved."

"So this shit has to do with Edward fuckin' glamouring Bella. It just doesn't make sense Jasper. How can this little fuckin' prick know how to do that? I told you a long ass time ago that there was something off about that asshole, and now we're seeing it. I've always hated him, always, and never once did I like one thing he's done."

"We'll figure it out. We'll make sure she's safe, Pete." He rubbed my shoulder trying to comfort me.

"I'm afraid I'll kill him before we get it solved, Jas." A knowing look in Jasper's eyes told me I wasn't too far off the beaten path. He knew we only had so long before I went off the deep end again; only this time, I had no idea if I could stop myself.

The run back to the house was wonderful and relaxing. I'd kept my shield down until we got closer to the house, so Jasper could feed me feel good vibes awhile longer, and once we were in the vicinity of the house, my subconscious had shielded both Jasper and I.

Rushing up the stairs to my temporary hideaway, I grabbed a change of clothes and hit the shower. Edward was not home, so this gave us time to talk to the family about what might've happened. I was curious as to what Carlisle would have to say about it.

"Jasper, not another one! That was off the new Jean Paul Gaultier line. I swear you go thru more clothes than even I do. Ugh!" I knew it wouldn't take her long.

"Now darlin', you know I try my best to keep 'em clean, sometimes they just don't make it back in one piece." I shook my head to myself, Jasper the smooth talker. "It's just that I don't think this material is that durable, I blow right thru 'em so maybe, just maybe you should get something else to try something more resilient?" Oh hear him now, trying to sweet talk her into some kind of manly clothes. He was so fuckin' funny.

"Alright, enough of this bullshit, we need to talk while the little bastard is out." I had to break up her whining and his begging if we were gonna get anywhere tonight.

The family had all gathered into the living room while Jasper was cleaning himself up. All eyes were on me. I sat down on the couch next to Emmett; he slapped my shoulder and gave me a quick nod. Maybe they all felt that something was up the same as I did.

Carlisle was pacing the center of the floor between the couches in deep concentration. I swear as much as that man rubs his chin when he's thinking, you'd think he could sprout a nice beard like mine to feel. With that, I couldn't help but smooth my own beard down, too. I glanced over and saw Emmett eyeing me and rubbing his bare chin. I couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped me, jealous bastard. I rubbed it a bit more and smiled back at him shaking my head. Damn, if these veggies hadn't been changed so young they might've been able to grow a beard at the time of their transformations.

"Peter! You gloating asshole." Emmett nearly shouted at me while he attempted to punch me in the shoulder. I laughed even harder when his fist came in contact with my shield instead of me.

"Emmett, this is not the time for horseplay. I swear sometimes you're like an overgrown child."

"He's making fun of me for not being able to grow a beard, Rosie."

"He's an asshole, Emmett. If he's not eating humans, he's doing something else horrible, so I wouldn't worry too much about what Peter thinks. I think you look just fine without a nasty beard like that."

I wanted to slap the shit outta her right now, but I was raised to never hit a woman. So if Rosalie's general definition was bitch, does that make her a woman or just a bitch? Like that damn owl said, "The world may never know."

"Alright, that's enough." Jasper was finally done, and we could get down to business.

"Can anyone tell me what the fuck is going on here? Why the hell does no one know he can do this shit? You've all lived and known him for plenty long enough to get to know someone. How does something like glamouring get overlooked for so long?" I was pissed, and they all knew it.

"Peter how can you possibly blame us for this? We had no idea he could or would do something this outlandish. I certainly do not condone this type of behavior. He is indeed putting Bella and her mind in jeopardy by doing such things to her." I was on my feet in an instant.

"Carlisle, you made him. You taught him, and for well over 100 years you've lived with him! How do you not know him? Hell, I've never lived with the bastard, and I've never liked him. I knew something was wrong with him. I never fuckin' said I blamed you either, Carlisle. I just can't fathom how you didn't know he could glamour is all I'm sayin'."

"Wait, so you guys really think that Edward is able to glamour?"

"Em, we're not 100% sure, but yeah, we are pretty sure that he's done something of that sort to Bella to cause her to change emotions within a beat of her heart. Peter and I have only known one other vampire that could do it. Newborns just didn't live long enough to experiment with that sorta thing."

"Wow, Edward always said he couldn't read her mind. Isn't glamouring kinda like a mind thing? How can he glamour her and not be able to read her mind?" Alright, I'll give it to him, Emmett may be slow on the uptake, but he asked good questions.

"Glamouring isn't just about the mind, Emmett; it's more than that. Even after all this time, the Volturi still can't explain why one vampire could do it and another one could not. If Aro could get his hands on a vampire that can glamour and keep him on the guard, he would be set; he's always been in search of one. Even in my time with them, they were in search of such skills to prove that they exist. They found some that were comparable to it but nothing as powerful as glamouring."

"How do we break it off? That's what we need to know? Can it be removed without hurting Bella?"

"I would imagine that another vampire that could glamour might be able to reverse it or change it in some way, but there is no way to be certain that it will work as we think it would. Plus, we have no idea how powerful his glamouring is. Is it just a shadow of glamouring or is it full blown glamouring?"

"Is this our only hope, Carlisle? Aren't there any other methods we could try? What if he's done this to her before?" Esme was worried about her little Bella as well as the rest of us. She was worried, and it was written all over her face.

"That's it!" My head snapped to Jasper as he spoke.

"What's it?" Carlisle and I asked him in unison.

"If he's done it to her before, then it broke! Something this weekend broke his glamouring. That is if he's done it to her before; because why would he need to do it again if he already did it? Unless it's weak and doesn't stay."

"That's a good observation, son. What happened to her this weekend that might've broken it?"

"Me." They all looked at me for my explanation. "Bella is my mate, not Eddie boy's! When we met and he turned on her when she was cut, it might've snapped her out of it, either that or my venom." Every vampire in the room held the shocked expression on their face except my brother who already knew about Bella being my mate. The family will need to come to a hard and fast realization that she is mine as I am hers. I will fix this shit and it will be soon.

"Fuck! This makes no sense." Jasper looked to me and I knew what he wanted.

"We need to call Garrett."

I only hoped that my oldest friend might be able to help me free my mate.
