Chapter 7

Revalations

(Bella pov)

I woke up feeling warm and snug. Like, really snug. Like I was wrapped up tight in someone's arms snug. I looked around and saw a pair of vivid red eyes staring down at me. Z smiled when he saw that I was awake. His hold on me tightened for a second before loosening once more.

"Good morning, young one." He nuzzled my hair. "Did you have a good dream?"

I blushed as I remembered the kiss I shared with a certain demon, whom shall remain nameless. "Uh, yes I did. A very nice dream. One of the best."

He chuckled. "Yes, I have been told that my kisses are quite intense."

I let out a squeak of embarrassment. My face was hotter than a bonfire and I cursed my sleep talking. I cursed it to Hell and back. And then back into Hell.

"Do not be so embarrassed, young one." Z nuzzled my head, "It must be difficult to restrain yourself from jumping my person for hours on end and staying focused on how you shall avoid Draven."

My face grew even hotter. "Stupid, arrogant demon." I mumbled.

"I'm sorry. What was that you said?" Z bit my ear. "I couldn't quite hear you with all your mumbling, my dear. You really must learn to speak up." The smile vanished from his face as he looked over at the door. He frowned in disappointment. "You're presence is desired in the main chamber. It would be wise to be dressed and prepared before the guards come to acquire you."

I tried to chase the blush off my face. I jumped out of bed and grabbed the dress laid out on the lone chair in the bedroom. I dashed into the bathroom and went through the process of washing hair, body, and teeth. I threw on the black dress, not caring about how I looked, and ran the brush through my bushy hair. I opened the door to see Z in a new suit of light armor. It was black with red accents. Only one of his arms was covered by the gleaming metal. His torso was bare, save for a red, silk sash wrapped around his waist. His thighs and fore legs were both covered by black metal. Red strips laced the pieces of armor together. His leather boots came up to his ankles. All-in-all, he looked drool worthy.

He motioned to his lower lip. "You have a smidge of saliva, right there."

I blushed as I wiped my mouth with a hand towel. A knock on the door distracted me from the leer on Z's face. I yelled that the door was unlocked. Said door flew open as a stunning stepped through the thresh hold dramatically. She had beautiful auburn hair that fell just under her shoulder blades. She rivaled Rosalie's beauty. You could tell me that this woman was Aphrodite, and I would have believed you. However, I have seen Rosalie, so I would called you a liar and gone to get cake to gain back the innocence you had poisoned with your lies.

The vampire sashayed over to Z on her break-neck heels in a tight red dress. She smiled warmly at Z, not even glancing over at me. "Aro would like to see you in the main chamber. If you follow me, I will lead you there." She batted her eyelashes and placed her arms behind her back, pushing her chest up a little higher. Z stared her with a look of disinterest and mild revulsion. He walked over to me and wrapped his exposed arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. He bowed and his head.

"Thank you, but I prefer to get there my way." I placed his armed hand over my eyes. Not a second after, I felt a severe case of vertigo. It felt as if the floor had been pulled out from under my feet. The feeling of weightlessness vanished as soon as it came and my legs gave out. If Z hadn't been holding me, I would have fallen to the floor of the main chamber. He pressed me close to his chest as everyone jumped or gasped in surprise. Z held me close until my breathing and heartbeat slowed and returned to normal. Z didn't remove his arm from my waist until I tapped his chest. He gave me a small squeeze before letting his arm fall to his side.

I wobbled before straightening myself. I faced the three leaders of the vampire world.

"Have we come up with a battle plan concerning Draven and his plan to bring about the end of the world as we know it, anything at all?" Aro grinned.

"We have, Z will lead an army to the door of Draven's cage and kill him once he steps out." I said with a false calm. "I will remain here with Z's most trust trusted guard."

Z tapped my shoulder. When I turned to look him, he pointed over to the group of men standing by Carlisle. Jacob grinned and waved wildly at me. I waved back. Quill, Embry, and Jacob waved back with enthusiasm. Rolled my eyes and turned back to Z. He was staring at me, confusion tinting hi eyes. His eyes widened. He griped my shoulders and looked me in the eye. "I knew something didn't make sense…"

"What is it, Z? What's wrong?" I asked.

"How was Draven able to get a mark on you if he was trapped in his cage?" Z hissed. "It doesn't make sense! It was his mark, but not his scent!"

What?

How was he able to mark you when he was in his prison?

I don't know!

Think back! Z insisted. Has anything happened to you recently where you were feeling lonely, misunderstood, unloved? Have you blacked out all?

There was that one time with Laurent…

Any other time? Please, I need more information!

I went through the past few weeks in my head. One memory stood out. There was the weekend in Lauren's cabin… Shouldn't you have seen all my memories?

I can see into a person's memories only if they haven't been tampered with, Bella. I could only see the recollection if the person were recalling the memory. Z explained. Recall that memory. Remember everything you can!

I thought back to the short time at the cabin. I remembered the dressing up and the dream I had and the Ouija board session. I recalled how terrified I was when it spelled out my name. I ran to the room I shared with Angela. I remembered waking up on the couch and picking up the memory card.

Z cried out with glee. He grasped both sides of my face and kissed both my blushing cheeks. "Thank you for thinking ahead!" He smiled. "Now where is that memory card?"

My face flared a deep red, still feeling his lips against my skin. "In my room, on my dresser."

He pressed one more kiss to my forehead before vanishing. I stood there, frozen from his sudden exit and the warm impressions he left on my skin. I blinked twice and touched my cheek.

I saw Emmett scratch his head. "Did I miss something? What just happened?"

Z blinked back into existence beside me, his stance screaming homicide. "It wasn't there."

"What?" I squeaked. "But I remember putting it there! I haven't gotten a chance to go through the cards data! It should still be on my desk!"

"You mean this?"

Z and I turned around to see Jacob holding the very card that held footage from the Ouija board session, and possibly what happened to make Angela so scared of me. I dashed forward and hugged my friend. "Thank you, but do you want to explain why you have it, Jake?" Z plucked the card and blinked out of the room. I ignored Z's exit and stared at Jacob, both hands on my hips. "I'm waiting, Jacob Black." He scratched the back of his head, a drop of sweat rolled down his temple.

Z blinked back into the room, holding my laptop, staring at the keyboard. "Would it be inappropriate to ask for assistance with this contraption, Bella?"

I tried to fight the giggle that bubbled in my chest as I turned to help Z. I heard Jake sigh in relief behind me. I shot him a 'this-isn't-over' look before taking the laptop out of Z's hands. One of the guards, Demetri I believe, placed a small table to place the computer on and sat me in a plush chair. I noticed him playing with a wire, but focused on setting up the video clips. I scrolled to the last file and clicked on it. A picture of Lauren, Jessica, and me in the living room popped up. I hit the play button and cranked up the sound. I heard the crackle of surround sound stereos echo in the room. I turned and saw a large white screen on the undecorated wall, with a smiling Demetri standing by the expanse of white plastic. He waved cheerily at me. I noticed every vampire staring at the girls giggling on the screen. Even Jacob and his friends held bags of popcorn.

I rolled my eyes and turned to the screen. I smiled at the image of a very pretty copy of me shyly smiling at Angela when she said I looked stunning.

You truly do look breath taking in black. Z whispered. Like an angel of death.

The video proceeded to the Ouija board being set up. I saw myself paling on the screen. I looked terribly frightened. I could see the candle flames flickering, as if someone had walked by them. The shadows on the walls seemed to darken. I heard Lauren asking the first question. Angela, who was holding the camera, filmed the planchette moving. I turned away, afraid to witness the answers that I knew would be spelled out on the board. I turned back to the screen as the planchette moved to spell out my name. I watched as I raced out of the room. I noted the shadow that followed me out of the room. I watched in rapt attention as Lauren threw the planchette at the wall.

"What is so special about her?" Lauren whined.

Jessica rolled her eyes. "It's just a game. That was pretty funny though, Angela."

A voice behind the camera giggled. "That wasn't me. I thought you were moving it."

Jessica's eyebrows lifted. "It wasn't me. I thought it was Lauren until she threw the planchette."

"It wasn't me." Lauren snorted.

"Then who was moving it?" Angela asked.

Jessica sat up. "Shh. Did you hear that?" She whispered.

Lauren barked out a laugh. "Good one, but I'm not falling for it."

Jessica held up her hand. "There it is again!"

"Stop that!" Lauren snapped.

"No." Angela said softly. "I heard it, too"

All girls fell silent. A soft hissing-growl could be heard in the background. "Where is that coming from?" Angela whispered.

"It sounds close." Lauren said. "Really close."

Jessica slowly tilted her back. Her jaw fell open and her eyes widened. "I know where it's coming from, but I have no idea how she got up there."

There camera zoomed up. I was lying on the ceiling, as if I were resting on my bed. My eyes were closed, but my mouth was stretched into a malicious grin. When Jessica stood up, the same low growl poured from my mouth. Angela moved the camera right under me.

"Bella…"

A low laughing hiss shook my shoulders. My head lolled from side-to-side. The camera came directly under me. "Bella… Can you come down?"

My eyes snapped down. A set of orangish-yellow eyes glared down at the camera instead of my usual brown color. My grin stretched even further as the camera started shaking. My body slide across the ceiling, the camera following, and into the kitchen. My body disappeared behind the wall between the kitchen and living room. The camera picked up the heavy breathing of Angela, Lauren, and Jessica. "What the fuck just happened?" Lauren panted.

"I don't know, but she's gone now." Jessica replied.

Angela sighed and the camera turned to face the two other girls. Angela gasped in fear. Lauren and Jessica stood on either side of the table. The girls didn't notice my body leaning against the wall. That mad smile contorted my face, making me appear insane and murderous. Angela's arm came into the camera's view on the low left corner as she pointed at me. Jessica and Lauren stilled, gradually turned to look back at my body. My eyes glowed bright as I took a step forward.

"Do you want to play a game?" My voice cackled. "It's called 'Fuck Off'!"

My body rushed at Lauren and pushed her back. Lauren flew back and landed on the floor. Jessica ran to help her, but was stopped by the hand that grabbed her neck. My puny arm managed to lift Jessica of the floor. She clawed at my hand, trying to loosen my grip, but my voice just cackled. "The rules are simple. All you have to do is leave Bella alone!" Jessica was then thrown into a wall and fell to the ground with a pained gasp. My body turned towards Angela. The camera was shaking like crazy. My body walked towards Angela. I stopped inches from the camera, so all you could see was my face. My eyes glowed orange/yellow. Yellow spikes surrounded my pupil and into the red ring that contracted around the iris. My pupil dilated until my entire was covered in inky black. My mouth twitched upward, before stretching further than any human should ever be able to open their mouth. My teeth resembled shark teeth, but I didn't get the chance to see the details.

My face surged forward. Angela dropped the camera. The sounds of the girls screaming were drowned out by an animalistic screech. The camera was kicked into a position where it showed my body in a bridge, crawling towards the feet of one of the girls. The camera was kicked again. It tilted towards the ground, only showing our legs. Three sets of feet huddled together.

"Where did she go?" Jessica sobbed quietly.

Lauren hushed her. There was a moment of silence before the animalistic shriek cut through the air. At the same time, a set of feet fell from the ceiling. Lauren fell to the floor; tears were streaming down her face as she tried to crawl away. Lauren was picked up and thrown back into the living room. The sounds of crying and mad laughter crackled through the speakers as the scuffling was moved out of the camera's view. A few seconds later, Angela was thrown into the hallway. She got up and ran into our shared room. Lauren and Jessica weren't far behind as they sprinted into their room. I was chasing them, crawling on the wall, before I stopped at their door. I banged on the door, scratching and laughing like a mad man. I shouted out taunts and insults about what sluts their mothers were. I heard my voice mention how Mike pictured Bella when he fucked Jessica.

After a few moments of shouting, my body stumbled into the living room. My feet came closer to the camera. They paused and moved out the shot. A shuffling sound could be heard. The camera was picked up and my face came into view. Apparently, I was sitting on the ceiling because my hair was dangling upside down. My face stared into the camera, smiling like a maniac. My mouth stretched again, my eyes pitch black, and rushed forward. The camera flickered for a few seconds before it finally cut to the white noise. The screen went black.

I turned to face the crowd. I noticed many of the vampires in the room were frozen, looks of horror etched on their faces. I saw the pack sitting on the floor, slurping a soda. "This shit should be in a movie." Quill said. Embry nodded in agreement. They weren't the only ones with snacks. I was shocked at the body being held by Caius. He saw me watching and threw it aside. He shot me a frightened grin before shuffling to stand behind Marcus, who was displaying more emotion then he has ever shown.

Z slammed his fist down on the table. "DAMN IT!" He roared. Z punched the table again, ending my laptop's career. I stared in sadness at the splintered pieces of my newish computer. "I just bought that last month…"

"I should have known! The bastard has always been a sketchy bastard. Always showing up and vanishing without a warning. That explains the information leaks I've been having for the past few decades." Z was ranting in a low growl. "When I get my hands on the little bitch, he will wish he had never crossed my path!" Z circled my chair.

"What's wrong?"

Drake.

What about Drake?

He is the one that possessed you.

Why would he do that? He knows I am under your protection.

He has been working for Draven.

Why? He has sworn fealty to you.

Z looked at me, anger and betrayal darkening his eyes. He is Draven's son.

Shock hit me like a truck. Draven had a son? "Since when?"

"I don't know. All I know is that the mark was very similar Draven's. I didn't figure that out until now. I should have known he would stoop this low as to send his own offspring to die!"

"I thought you said you destroyed the demon that marked me." I stated.

Z nodded. "I did destroy the lowlife. Unfortunately, I believe that was Drake's brother."

Oh… "Why did Draven have children in the first place?"

"My guess," Z growled, "Those were failed experiments for the Dark Child. He probably talked them into spying on the seven domains. That also explains the reported disappearance of Leviathan's own a few hours after I destroyed the demon that possessed you. "

"How could you tell it was Drake's brother just with the eye color?" Edward huffed.

Z glared at him. "I know it was Draven's descendant because all three share the same orange/yellow iris. That and the yellow starburst surrounding the pupil are distinctive to Draven and his offspring. I have seen Drake's true eye color once before. It tickled my memory, but I dismissed the feeling." Z clenched his bare fist. "I will kill the little prick for believing he could cross me with no consequences. He shall beg for death's release!"

I reached out and held his tightened fist. I pried his fingers apart and laced our fingers together. He looked down at me. I beamed up at him and squeezed his hand. He stared at me for a moment before relaxing. He gave a small smile. He tightened his hand around mine. I flashed him my teeth.

"Well, now that we know the facts, we need a plan." Jasper clapped his hands once, cracking his knuckles. "We will need to train and prepare for war."

Many vampires nodded, but one blond vampire stepped forward. "Why should we fight? This war has nothing to do with us!" She shouted in anger. She pointed at me and scream, "I say we just kill the little bitch and be done with the problem!"

Right after threat left her mouth, Z was across the room and pinning her to the ground with his leg. "Hold your tongue, parasite! Threaten Bella once more and I shall personally drag you to my domain and use you as my battle and torture dummy!"

She jerked her head up and down, agreeing to his terms. He removed his foot only to kick her across the room. She smacked into the wall, cracking the stone wall. She fell to the floor and rushed to her sisters. She glared at me, but Z stood in front of me to block me from her site. Z plucked me off the seat and fell onto the cushion. He gently placed me on his lap before speaking again. "I agree with you, Jasper. This information changes everything. I will place Bella with my most trusted friend. I was going to place her in the care of Cerberus and Drake, but he will be dead by nightfall."

"No."

Everyone turned their head at my outburst. Z peered down at me with confusion written on his face. "I thought you liked Cerberus. Would you prefer someone else?"

I shook my head. "No, I want you to keep the original plan." I covered Z's mouth when he opened his mouth to protest. "I know that you want to make Drake pay for his sins, but if you kill Drake, then Draven will become suspicious and very cautious. If we keep Drake and feed him false information, Draven will feel confident and walk right into your trap." I remove my hand from Z's face, stroking his jaw before letting my hand fall to my lap. The room was silent, everyone was pondering my words.

Peter was the first to break the silence. "It's risky, but I think it just might work."

"I agree." Charlotte nodded. "We will need to keep a close eye on Bella, but it's a good plan."

Z stared at me before smiling. He lifted his hand and stroked my hair. You are intelligent, beautiful, and a great strategist. How could you ever believe yourself less than others?

I am nothing special.

Z's eyes glinted with mischievous intent. Every time you degrade yourself, I shall lick you.

What?

You heard me.

"Okay, what are you doing?!" Jasper yelled. "Your emotions are changing as if you're conversing with one another. What's going on?"

"Apparently, Z and I can communicate telepathically." I blushed.

Edward punched the wall, his eye twitching. "Are you kidding me?!" He fumed.

"I do not kid around, parasite." Z smirked. He wrapped an arm around my waist.

"It's not like my thoughts are that interest… Hey!" Z licked my face from jaw to cheekbone. I blushed a deep red and wiped my face the skirt of my dress. Which I now realize is the same one I wore when I first met Z. I peeked at Z through my lashes. I smiled at me, mirth dancing in his eyes. I stuck my tongue at him.

He shrugged. "I warned you." Stick your tongue out at me, and I'll bite it.

The blush on my face grew hotter as I pictured his mouth on mine. I turned away from his perceptive gaze. I noticed Edward quivering with rage in the corner of my eye. Jasper grasped his shoulder, and Edward stilled. I thought of the feelings I had for Edward, and was shocked to feel the once thriving love I had for him reduced to a small bud. Another thing that stunned me was the growing feelings I had for certain demon. The same demon that threatened to bite my tongue if I stuck it out at him. I blushed and peeked at Z form the corner of my eye. He was currently glaring at Edward. If looks could kill, Edward would be a pile of ash. I wanted to run away. I desired to snuggle into Z's chest. I needed this war to be over.

Z rubbed my back, sensing my distress. "So, how do we approach this situation?"

Z squeezed my shoulder before answering me. "We will go forward with the original plan, but with a few minor changes." Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes, I'm sure.

Bella… I trust you, but this can never be reversed.

There are always other options.

Z lightly brushed my hair from my neck. As you wish. I trust your judgment.

"What do we do?" Garrett grinned from the window seal twelve feet off the floor.

Felix whispered to Demetri, "Was that window always there?"

Z tightened his hold on my waist, his armored hand tapping on the chair's arm.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Me, too. Thank you for believing in me.

Always.

Z held me close. "This is the plan…"

So, that's chapter 7! What did you all think? Please start hitting me up with ideas. I'm hitting a writer's block. Suggestions would appreciated. Like a lot. Very much so.

The first chapter of my new story is up. You all should check it out. Like right now. At this moment. Right now. Stop reading and tell me what you think! Should I continue or ditch it? Tell me!
