SM owns it all.
Sorry I didn't get more up yesterday, but this chapter was giving me some trouble so you may only get this one, maybe, just maybe two more today. We will see.
JPOVquick bit of info for you. Don't get lost in this. Remember Vampires process things at a much quicker rate than we do, and have a ton more thoughts. So it jumps around quiet a bit in this chapter from one thing to another.
I couldn't help to just lay with Isabella in the bed. She was so cute sleeping. I kind of felt like Edward sitting there watching her sleep though. Kind of stalkerish, but I could see the appeal it had to Eddie. I lay there just watching her, thinking over what happened a hour ago. I don't know what came over me to do that to her. I mean really, I am always a gentleman before anything else. Or I use to be. I had taken her on a fourwheeler, me a southern gentleman had taken away, the moment she had waited for, for so long. Not many 20 soon to be 21 year old girls kept themselves for someone special. And I know lots of humans these days have their first time in the back of cars, a friends house, or whatever, but I have never lost my control that way. I almost feel as though I forced her. I mean we hadn't really even begun a relationship. This made me crinkle my head and think about our past few months together...
After demanding respect from, Isabella, she had apologized for being such a bitch. We had even shared a blissful kiss. I don't ever remember kissing someone and feeling such a wonderous felling as I did when I kiss her. It's like I am on cloud 9, I suppose some would say. But after that first kiss nothing ever truly progressed. I just didn't want to start a romantic relationship with her. She is still mortal after all, and I will not begin something with her while she is in that state. I don't even know if it is possible.
Edward always claimed she was his mate, but you must have a mating bite to complete the process of being truly mates. I don't think he would have done that with her, he is to pussy whipped by Carlisle. Now, Carlisle, that one is a piece of work if I ever saw one. Don't get me wrong I feel a great deal towards Esme, Rose, Emmett and even a small bit for Edward. Carlisle just has them so twisted up in his beliefs that I don't know if they can or will surface to the truth of who they have become.
Carlisle while I think is trying to do what he thinks is right, just doesn't get it. And whoemever changed him and left him should die a final death a thousand times over. It just isn't done, leaving your charge alone for the first year. It can cause many things, the most prevelant being exposure, then again it could be one turning out such as Carlisle has. He shouldn't have been able to deny his thirst after awakening. But he says he made it all the way out of town and into a forest. I sometimes wonder if he started drinking from humans if he would have to feed less often than most of us do. I have even suspected that it might be his gift to only feed so often, but he won't even try it. I suggested it once and being the pathetic immortal I was at the time, cowarded away from him like I had a nucuear bomb targeted on my ass.
I know the animal diet soothed the burn, but I think more than anything it slows your mind and body, and contorts your being into something that you are not. I wonder who they would all become maintaining a natural diet. Would they be much different. Maybe. Probably.
Isabella, shouldn't have ever been brought into this world. I hate that she has been through so much in her short life. If she hadn't mixed with us, she would have probably turned out alot different. I like the sass she brings with her to my coven though.
I can never figure that girl out. Her emotions hop all over the place, they almost seem surreal to me sometimes. One minute she is full of her sass, the next she is sweet, and then the next moment she is spitting fire at us all. I couldn't help but be enthralled with her. She is just so full of life. She is definately a empath's wet dream. She feels emotions so strongly she can actually at times manipulate my emotions. She was so angry when she first came here, I couldn't help but to scowl right back at her. It was her that had essentially given me the mood.
After our little talk though, we had started to spend some time together. At first she wasn't all that happy about being stuck in a house with just me, but she finally started sharing her self with me. We talked about what she had being doing with her life. Her hopes and dreams. They were certainly different than what I had expected them to be. Hell her whole life was the opposite of what it was when the Cullens' had all left her.
She told me of her depression, how she didn't even want to leave her home. Even the most basic things such as school, grocery shopping, or hanging out with friends. She found her self completely exiled from her life. She said one day something just flipped in her. She wanted to be different from everything she was when we were around her. She started doing things that most wouldn't even try. Like cliff diving, and parasailing among other things. After experienceing life she said she had to come to see her self in a new light. She told me she became more confident. That if a vampire would chose her as its plaything, and it being perfect, she must be a little more than the average she had always believed. Isabella then began getting her body taken care of waxings, coloring in her hair, and dressing in designer clothes were just some of the things that she started doing.
She wanted to have a job that she actually made big money in. She told me of signing up in some acting school, only to find it was totally bogus. One of her former classmates became her friend and together they started going to pole dancing/stripping classes, yoga, and a few other classes they took to help get their bodies in shape enough to manuever and limber up. She told me about seeing things around her. Always just past her vision of sight, like a vampire who wisps around in speed. Humans can actually see us, but their brains just pass it off as nothing. Isabella however, knowing of our existence, just 'knew' someone was following her around. When she and her friend had made it to Vegas, thats were V finally showed herself to Isabella.
Isabella told me about Victoria taking her money, and how she would hide part of it. How she had been in some really swanky places just to dance. And how much she enjoyed herself doing it. When she told me she worked at the Bellagio before she was taken, I just swallowed deeply and kept nodding my head. I didn't want her to know what had happened to her friend while I was visiting the Bellagio. Not that I was ashamed of what I had done, I just didn't want her to know, it happened with her friend.
She told me that she was planning on signing up for the Pole2Pole Cup after a couple of more years practice. (pole2pole cup is a real pole dancing competition) And that she truly wanted to go, and how it was really hard work training your body to contort in certain postitions, and to keep your stregnth up to a level where you could hold on to the pole correctly.
It wasn't long after that conversation, Char was asking for a pole to be put up so Isabella could teach her how to dance. Isabella told me to get three poles, two for her room for practicing and one for Chars' room. She never directly asked me for anything. I don't know if she talked Char and/or Peter into asking me or she just got them to agree they wanted the same things and they would tell me what to get. Char always had some kind of deviousness surronding her, but I figured it was just something her and Isabella were plotting and scheming at. Those two were forever more 'coming up with plans'. Though I am pretty sure that most of them were you know whos. I laugh at this thought.
Not only had her little plan backfire for making me regret my earlier actions with the fourwheelers, it had backfired completely. She thought she was going to get me all worked up and leave me with nothing again, the Major took over when he saw her nipples poking out of her barely there bra. I hadn't ment to let it go as far as it did, but I could not bring myself to regret my actions. She had come up with tons of crazy plans over the past few months. They always seemed to come back on her though.
She had talked Peter into going to a pole dancing class with her and Char. She had told Char it would be much easier to learn from an actual teacher instead of her. She also thought watching how others were doing it would help her progress faster. Each dancer has their own way of doing things and rarely are any ever the exact same. I didn't go with them, but the story they told had me rolling in laughter. Isabella had Char stop at the mall and ran in and got Peter a pair of speedos. Peter said he wasn't wearing that to class. She assured him everyone would be wearing little to nothing and that he would have to. Apparently you can not pole dance with clothes on, or so she told him. She got him a red pair that matched up with Chars' set of underwear. Amazingly enough he was the only man in that class. I can't believe the shit Peter lets those girls sign him up for. The teacher was teaching a basics class but had let Isabella and one other advanced person in her class to practice while she was working with her other students.
Isabella and the other girl Amy practiced getting their dance moves in line with a partner dancer. They worked on timing and what not. Peter wasn't paying attention to what he was suppose to be doing and was watching Isabella and Amy. The teacher constantly kept calling for him to pay attention, and told him he would never make it if he would not pay attention. I reckon it wasn't to long before Peter got lost in the girls again though, cause the next thing you know, Char is standing in front of Peter and trying to pull him out of the class.
The teacher stands before Peter telling him he is banned from her classes since he can't focus with the girls around and is disturbing the others. Peter is totally ignoring her while looking over her shoulder at the girls. Then whole class is silenced by a ripping sound coming from Peter. Everyone looks at him and trying to figure what that sound was, when they see his dick has ripped through his speedos while rising to attention. The teacher goes off on him, telling him that he needs to leave her class and she will not tolerate his behavior. He goes to get his clothes, when she yells at him to get out. He had to walk through the parking lot with his hands covering his dick. He said he was never trusting Isabella with his clothes again, and to remind him he is to never go into public again with Isabella unless Char and I are both with him.
Isabella said she never thought about him ripping the speedos, just thought it would be funny for him to have to wear them. I still am unsure if she plans this shit or it just happens to her epic plans. I haven't seen one that didn't turn into a 'fail' catergory. She is just to smart for that shit. Maybe she knows shit is gonna turn out funny as hell, maybe not, but she sure is funny as hell.
I haven't spoken to her in awhile about turning her, but she will probably be gifted in some way. I told her about the animal diet actually turning your head to goo. How when you are on it, you literally can't think correctly, your body is slower than normal, and you just feel disoriented all the time. She didn't like the thoughts of taking human life and at first threw a fit about it. I can't blame her, it probably feels like she is going to be a cannibal or something to her right now. I explained to her though, that when you are changed, you don't truly feel like a human any longer. And that the Cullens' had everything twisted.
I then asked her about the laws of nature. 'do you think nature provides for every creature, that every creature is hunted by some other? like say the bear eats fish, the fish eat worms, the worms eat dirt, dirt is part of everything.' 'well yeah' she had said. 'then that would mean we were created for a purpose and if the bear has a natural feeding source of fish, would you take that away cause i like some fish?' She had thought about that a long time before she actually answered me. 'i guess that is the circle of life, but i have parents, and i can not think of people as food. I will not begrudge you your diet, as that seems what nature intended for you, but that does not mean i have to like it.'
It was a reasonable response for a human to come up with. They still see others as family, friends and fellow human beings, we however did not. As much as we may remember of our human lives, we still forget what exactly those bonds with those we loved feel like when we are changed. Like for instance if I saw my mother today, I would know I use to love her because most human children do love their mother, but I simply wouldn't be able to relate to it. Well I might could relate to it being a empath, but others of my kind would not. That is why when we are turned we don't go after our families and change them to keep them with us. We no longer have that bond.
So for now she has just agreed to disagree and said she would think it over when or if she ever became like us. Till then it just sounded gross and disgusting to her, but so did drinking from animals. I guess we will see, she wont be able to help wanting human blood when she is turned though, we all do.
She wasn't totally disagreeable on the being changed any longer. She hadn't even seen her human friends in close to a year now. Sometimes I think she felt more sad over that than anything. But she did keep in contact with a girl she called Lollipop. Her friend was plenty pissed at her for a long time till they finally made up. She kept begging her to come back to Vegas with her, and Isabella kept putting her off. She didn't want her friend mixed up with the likes of us. I could understand, we had ruined her life, why would she want to do that to her friend.
Isabella hadn't spoken to her parents for a long time. When she quit acting school they didn't even know she was in, and started in pole dancing, they basically disowned her. It seemed to bother her about her dad, but not so much about her mother. I asked her why once and she had replied 'My dad is the Only one who has ever tried to take care of me in my life. Renee is a superficial bitch that only wanted me around to take care of her and her boyfriends.' I couldn't believe she had so much hatred for her mother, but I kind of see being mad over her having to play adult as a child. I guess her innocense was stolen long ago pertaining to some matters.
She wasn't totally loving her life here, but she didn't seem to hate it either. I guess she just finally came to terms with it was us or death. I felt sorry for her sometimes, but I just had so many feelings I couldn't explain about her that I couldn't let her go. Not that she would survive long, I know that the Volturi come into my area once every month or so. I told Isabella that they did once and she said she didn't give a shit. They could spy on her all they pleased, maybe one day they'd end up with a show. She was nothing if not forever more surprising us with the way she delt or did things. Almost acting like a vampire in some ways.
I sometimes wonder if James venom didn't change her at least a small bit. I don't recall ever hearing of someone sucking venom out after the change had already started taking place. But whatever it was with her, I could see myself spending forever by her side.
I was starting to get anxious about Aro, I knew if there was anyone I would have an even fight with, it would be him. He is much older than me and has a huge coven at his beck and call. I don't think he really understands how far my coven reaches though. If he did I am certain he wouldn't be dicking around with me, and he would let me go ahead with Isabellas transformation. I wasn't truthfully asking for his permission, more or less avoiding a war, by being polite. But my patience was starting to grow thin with him and his damn lurking coven.
The only reason I told Isabella we would wait it out was so I could take her for her surprise next month. I had signed her up for the pole2pole competition. It was being held in Vegas this year, and I knew she would want to see her friend at least one more time. So that was my gift to her, since I was part of the reason she was mixed into the immortal world. I can't say I was sorry for her being here, or the knowing, but I did regret she wouldn't be able to compete when turned.
Hell when she is changed she can do pretty much anything she wants, so long as it doesn't cause exposure. And unfortunately that would include competitions. But for now she can compete, later she can dance, if thats what she wishes.
I know there isn't anything I wouldn't give her in the world if she asked. I honestly think I have fallen in love with her. I don't know how or when, but I did. Thats hard to admit to myself, because one, we don't fall in love with food, and two, she is mortal what would I do if I lost her. But I try my best to keep those thoughts to myself, or until she is more durable. I can't let myself get to deep with her till she is changed. She probably won't remember most of this time anyhow.
Peter runs up the stairs before throwing Isabellas door open with a bang, jerking her out of dreamland. "Get ready, now!"
"What is it, Captain?" I am the Major within seconds of feeling his panic.
"Get up, get Sugar up, hurry!" He runs back down the stairs yelling for Char.
"Baby, wake up, Isabella, you have to awaken. ISABELLA, wake up and get dressed, NOW!" I say harsly.
"What? Whats wrong?" She is blinking her eyes tring to wake up.
"Get dressed and come down stairs, hurry." With that I am down the stairs looking for Peter and Char.
"Captain, explain!" I order him as Isabella comes stumbling down the stairs still half asleep.
"Sit, calm down, and think before you speak. Aro will be calling in 46 seconds."
Shit now I got to deal with the asshole. He better hope he is done fucking around with me, I am tired of waiting for him to answer my simple question.
'Pour Some Sugar on Me' started playing from my phone, I looked up at Isabella and grinned before answering the phone, "Hello, Aro. I was expecting your call much sooner."
I also want to thank you all for such nice reviews. It makes me want to keep getting the story to you asap. Continue telling me what you think and I'll keep on updating quickly! See me happy, you happy! ;) Also wanted to say hope that you all can see that they didn't just fall in love in a day. they both have had feeling for awhile, but neither of them had ever acted upon them for various reasons.
Tell me what you think, Oh I do so think you will all be surprised next chapter! What do you think aro will do? Tell me before you flip to the next chapter... I would love to see if anyone is right :o)
