The days passed quickly ever since I was bonded with Jasper. I felt his every emotion as if it were mine. I heard his thoughts with mine, and even when we are apart, that brings us together. Jessica said that she had never made a stronger bond before.
Currently, I was talking with Jasper in my mind, discussing how annoying our brothers and sisters were, as we were being primped and prodded for the St. Marcus Day ball.
We were wearing beautiful ball gowns. Nandy, Charlotte, Heidi, Jane, Rose, and Esme were getting ready with me. Nandy was wearing a sapphire blue strapless ball gown. Charlotte was wearing the same gown in a deep purple. Heidi wore a green gown that had a deep plunge in front, and showed off all of her curves. Jane wore a soft pink gown with thick straps. Rose was wearing a blood red gown that showed off her curves, but retained a classy look. They all decided to do their hair up in simple chignons, with one or two pieces of hair hanging down.
My gown was the most beautiful dress I had ever worn. If my coronation gown was beautiful, this gown was drop dead (again) gorgeous. It was a strapless 2009 STRAIGHT NECKLINE RUFFLE SKIRT BALL GOWN (check out on ). It was purple, and the skirt swirled around me when I twirled, making me smile with how beautiful it would look on the dance floor. I paired the dress with black, strappy, stiletto sandals. My hair was first done in thin curls. The girls then pulled pack the curls, ending up with half of my hair done in an elegant knot in the back of my head. They made my eyes smoky and my lips a glossy blood red.Not a second after we finished getting ready, than the boys knocked on our door. Knock that, not boys, but men. Jasper, Peter, Justin, Emmett, Felix (with Jane), and Demetri (with Heidi).
Jasper looked me up and down with a smirk on his face. I felt his emotions and they consisted of lust, love, mischief, and adoration. I realized his mischief when he opened the mind link.
"Darlin', I can't wait to rip that off of you tonight. You look so hot it should be a sin."
Add that to his very vivid mental image of ripping off my dress and making me writhe in pleasure, and I was so fucking turned on right now, and judging by his smirk and his emotions, he knew it. I was going to be craving his touch all night.
Then, I realized, why did I have to be the one craving his touch? I decided I would make him suffer. At the same time, I blocked my mischievous emotions from him, to keep him from getting suspicious.

When the girls opened the door, all I could think about was that it was gonna be a hell of a long night. Then, deciding to be a bit mischievous for once, I opened the mind-link. "Darlin', I can't wait to rip that off of you tonight. You look so hot it should be a sin."
I felt her lust rise exponentially and smirked. Then I felt her block off a part of her emotions. I could tell it wasn't anything bad, but still. Judging by Peter's all out laughter when he looked at me, I knew that I was screwed.
Bella took the arm I held out to hear, and I escorted her to the doors of the ball room. When Aro announced our names, we walked in, and I led Bella to the center of the dance floor. The Aro, Marcus, and Caius were there with their mates (Didyme was never killed in my story).When we arrived at the dance floor, the music began, and I led Bella in a slow waltz.
We danced for hours, switching partners amongst the guests every once in a while.
I took her back in my arms as Falling In by Lifehouse came on. I sang the lyrics softly for only her to hear as we danced together. I could feel her love, lust, awe, and adoration rising with each word.
Every time I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
I can't wait to tomorrow
This feeling has swallowed me whole
And know that I've lost control
This heart that I've followed
Has left me so hollow
That was then, this is now, yeah you have changed everything
Everytime I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
I'm standing in your driveway
It's midnight and I'm sideways
To find out if you feel the same
Won't be easy, have my doubts too
But it's over, without you I'm just lost, incomplete
Yeah you feel like home, home to me
Everytime I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
All those nights I stayed away
Thinking of all the ways to make you mine
All of those smiles will never fade
Never run out of ways to blow my mind
Everytime I see your face
My heart takes off on a high speed chase
Now don't be scared, it's only love
That we're falling in
I would never do you wrong
Or let you down or lead you on
Don't look down, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
Don't be scared, it's only love
Baby, that we're falling in
Once we were finished dancing, I saw Alice come up to us, and growled in warning.

After Jasper sang that beautiful song to me, Alice came up to us.
"What do you want, Alice?" I put my arm on Jasper's to keep him from growling at her. I raised my eyebrow waiting for an answer to my question.
"I was wondering if we could talk privately, maybe in the gardens. I know I should have done this sooner, but I need to apologize. Please Bella?"
She looked at me with pleading eyes, and I knew I had to clear this up and try to move on with her. Jasper, hearing my thoughts, nodded his head towards me, signaling he was okay with it.
I followed Alice into the garden, out of earshot, although I did keep my mind link open, just in case.
"I really am sorry Bella."
She looked at me with an evil smirk on her face.
"What's going on Alice?"
"You're coming with us Bella." Edward came up behind me with a man I didn't recognize. The stranger started chanting a spell, and I felt it beat against my shield.
Suddenly, all of the knowledge on how to use my powers flooded into my brain. I expanded my shield over the Volturi castle and absorbed everyone's powers. Using Edward's, I realized the man was trying to make me pass out. I pretended to do so.
"Very good, Duncan. Well done. Let's get out of here before her mate shows up."
Jasper, hearing everything, was on his way out, so I spoke to him through the mind link.
"Jasper, stop!" I used a bit of mind control to make him listen. Peter came up to him and told him to trust me.
"If this is truly a threat, they aren't working alone. I need to find out what is going on. I will talk to you the whole time, baby, but I need you to stay so you can come up with a counter-attack. I heard from Edward's mind that he planted a note in his room, explaining the kidnapping. Leave it alone, it is untrue. The plan is to unite with Maria in Texas. Her army will wait there for you to attack with our families. Then, Alice and Edward will take Maria down. Afterwards, they plan on taking over the world keeping me as a pet, until they see fit to dispose of me. Train everyone, and then follow. I will be your 'inside man'."
"Hell no! You are my soul mate and I will not let you endanger yourself!"
"Listen, Jasper! When I was captured, I figured out how to use all of my powers. They can't beat me. I could probably easily get away from them, but I couldn't take down Maria's army if I wanted to. You need to train everyone, and then follow."
"Fine, we do this your way. But you are to pay attention to every part of the training. It isn't the same as the actual training, but mental combat will have to do."
"Alright, I'll keep the link open, but I won't be able to converse with you 24/7. Be careful, and come soon, cowboy."
"Count on it."
I was tossed onto a plane by Edward, and we soon took off. I pretended to stay unconscious, as I was really watching Jasper take charge. The guests to the ball left, except the Denalis, Amazonians, and some nomads, who decided to help rescue their princess. Jasper began the training as soon as everyone changed and assembled in the giant underground training room.
It was amazing, and I felt myself picking up on all of the moves. Using Peter's gift, I knew for a fact that when the time came, I would be the goddess of wrath next to my god of war. I felt the inner vampire rattle its chains, and I realized that I had a major mode, much as Jasper did. This would come in handy for the battle. I realized I had always been a warrior. It had just been hidden away until I needed it, and it was coming out now.
I listened in on Alice, Edward, and Duncan's conversation, and by the time we landed, Jasper was happy that I had left.
Maria had an army of 700 newborns at the ready, but with our combined powers, especially the shields, we wouldn't lose so easily.
We learned of all the gifted newborns. There was a fire-starter, a levitator, a shape-shifter who could shift into any animal, a bond changer (like Chelsea), and one who could take away your powers. There used to be more, but they either escaped or were killed.
When we finally arrived at Maria's camp, I spread my shield, making copies of those powers for me. With the take away powers gift, I would be the one to take down the gifted newborns with ease. It was decided to get the fire starter out of the way first. I would break the bonds made by the bond changer to cut loyalties to try to lower their numbers. Then, I would use my gifts to take out as many as I could. Finally, we would all attack.
Edward and Alice pulled me over to a tent, where Maria was, as Duncan released me from his hold.
The bond changer, whose name I now knew to be Amanda, was there.
"Where am I?" I pretended to be confused. "Let me go."
Maria spoke in a thick Spanish accent, and I could hear Jasper growl as he saw her in front of me.
"Hola, Bella. Me llamo Maria. I am sure you have heard wonderful things about me from my Major. Well, here is the thing, I want revenge. And I shall use you to get it."
At that moment, Maria motioned to Amanda, who began to cut my ties, and tie me to Maria. Of course, it didn't actually work, but I was a very good actress now.
I bowed down to Maria, although it sickened me, and kissed her hand. "How may I be of service, Mistress?"
Maria clapped her hands, giggling like a school girl at this 'amazing' turn of events.
Putting my shield over Maria, I realized that she had a power to make you believe anything she told you, and she was about to use it on me. I put my shield in place and blocked her.
"Well, Bella. I am now your mistress. You shall be my major, and train my newborns, as I am sure you learned a thing or two from the major. Also, I sense the fire in you, waiting to be let out." (If only she knew how literal that statement was) She continued, "You shall train them, and once they arrive, you shall lead the army against them. You see, the Volturi, Cullens, and Whitlocks captured you and took control of your mind. All of your memories are fake. You are Edward's mate. Jasper defiled you, and you want revenge."
I growled as I stood up, pretending her words had an effect on me. "Of course, Mistress. I shall not let you down."
Jasper chose that moment to speak in my mind. "When you get home, I am getting you an Oscar." I knew he was playing off his fear for me, but I knew I would be fine, and so did Peter.
I smirked mentally, and replied. "When I get home, I am going to have my way with my fiancé."
I nearly giggled as I mentally watched him get hard from my comment, and then focused ahead of me.
Maria brought me some black jeans, a plain black t-shirt, and black combat boots to change into.
While no one was looking, I made a long silver chain appear out of thin air. I placed my engagement ring, and other jewelry I didn't want Edward or the newborns to destroy on it, placing it under my shirt.
I put my hair up in a sexy pony tail, and walked out of the tent, to stand next to Maria. She looked at me, approving of what she saw.
"Newborns!" She cried out, and they all assembled, growling and snarling. "This is Major Isabella Swan! She shall train you and lead you into Bella. Show respect, or lose your life!"
"Ma'am, yes, ma'am."
They all stood at attention, many of them smirking as they took me in, probably thinking I was an easy target.
Maria turned to me, and said, "Good luck," before walking into her plan to create attack plans. Alice followed her, to assist with her visions, or rather, the fake ones that I was sending her.
Edward came up behind me, and wrapped his arms around me. I fought the need to cringe and push him off, and Jasper nearly ripped off Peter's arm in anger. "Come on love. Why don't we have some fun before training? My fear grew with the thought of having sex with this monster. But then, I realized I had plenty of information to use ore my advantage. I watched through Jasper's mind as Peter rolled on the floor laughing when he realized what I was going to do.
"Oh, Edward. I would love to have some fun with you."
"Really?" Edward looked so childishly excited, and immaturely lustful that I was fighting my need to break down laughing.
"Of course Edward." I ran my hand up his arm slowly, enjoying his reaction. Damn I was becoming a sadist.
I continued, "Will it be chess or checkers?"
I smiled innocently at his shocked face as Jasper laughed in my mind.
"You misunderstand, love. I want to have intercourse with you."
I fought off more laughs with Peter's reply passed through by Jasper. "Tip number one, Eddikins, don't call it intercourse." I actually did laugh at that, and Edward looked at me like I was crazy. I regained my composure quickly and replied.
"Edward, I can't. I have already been defiled by that horrid man, and I simply cannot have another mark against my un-existent soul. Surely god can forgive most wrongs, but I will not risk having one too many by having intercourse outside of wedlock."
I looked at Edward's shocked face innocently as I made him swallow his old words.
"Then marry me right now."
"I can't, Edward. I have work to do for our Mistress. I cannot disappoint her. I will marry you after the war, not before." I wanted to smirk at the despaired look on his face. Torturing Eddikins through sex withdrawal was fun.
"Will you at least wear my ring?"
"No Edward." I thought quickly for an excuse when he looked suspicious. "The newborns could destroy it." I calmed as his face relaxed, and relented.
Then, I threw the final blow to make sure he remained unsatisfied.
"I can't wait to take your virginity, Edward. Mine may not be intact, but I may as well be, because being defiled by that man doesn't count." I walked away, listening to Edward's mind.
"Shit, now what. I am going to be unsatisfied for so long. I can't even have Alice now, or she will see through Amanda's bonds. Damn it."
As I walked towards the newborns to begin training, I heard Jasper's thoughts.
"Make that two Oscars, darlin'."
