Chapter 13

IPOV

"Finally, you guys are back!" Emmett exclaimed as we appeared from behind the trees.

"Sorry we were running a little behind. Where would you like to start today Emmett?" I started talking to him while also removing the outer layers of clothes I had on. I only train in a tank top and some yoga pants. Nothing that can get caught or grabbed by an enemy. Plus, the scars are very off putting for those accustomed to them, so they help.

"What can you teach me today Isa? Maybe some kick ass behind the head decapitation or even a leg kick to a decapitation. What do you think?" Emmett was jumping up and down waiting for me to respond.

Well Emmett, I am sure Jasper has taught you some skills and stuff, so to begin I want you to try to fight me. Let's see what skills you have acquired from the Major of the South." I winked at Jasper as I said this. He rolled his eyes but was amused.

"I don't want to hurt you though Isa." Emmett seemed sweet. Based on his emotions and mental flavor I changed up how I wanted to approach him as a student.

"You can't Emmett. There is nothing that you could do that I have not already been subjected to. Plus, if you are really hurting me Jasper will step in. Just as Rose will try to step in to help you. Mates are unable to see the other one in pain without trying to help." I smiled softly at him to let him know that he was good then I sank into a crouch.

I sensed others coming to watch the training session. Rose took up a spot on the porch ready to help Emmett if he needed it. Esme sat down on the rocking chair with some knitting needles and yarn. Carlisle was observing from his window, but he looked tense. Jasper was leaning against a tree behind me. Always watching my back. Edward and Alice were nowhere to be found and the Denali's had left this morning on their trip abroad.

Emmett leaned over slightly with his legs bent but not under him. I took advantage of the stance and pushed him over. He grumbled as he rolled and was back on his feet facing me. "First lesson is always in the stance. Never let an opponent get you on the ground. Them being above you will give them an advantage." We went back to the dance with Emmett standing in a more acceptable manner.

This continued for about an hour. I would pick out Emmett's weaknesses and he would fix them as I pointed them out. After the basics were fixed we started to actually fight. We went in the same manner, but he was attacking instead of me. Each movement he made I would find the weakness and correct it.

"Okay Emmett let's see how you hold up against Jasper now. Rules are simple, the first one to get the other in a decapitated position win. Do not remove any limbs because that isn't fun. Ready, Go!" Jasper had walked up to the ring we had established earlier and began fighting. Now Jasper is a very different fighter than most, so where Emmett had gotten used to the style I had been using he couldn't get used to Jasper's as quickly.

The Major is patient and Emmett would get impatient and attack without thinking and the Major would take him down. I sent a message to Jasper in my mind. Jasper, start using the empathy on him.

I felt the waves of lethargy coming soon after I sent the message. Emmett started to get tired and his movements slowed with the continuation of the emotional attack. Before Emmett could recognize completely what was happening, Jasper had him pinned and his teeth at his neck.

"Hey that isn't fair. You used the emotion mojo." Emmett complained as he came out from under the influence.

"Emmett your opponent will never play fair. It isn't in their nature. You must learn how to fight against unexpected and be able to win. You should have realized that Jasper was using his power when he first started. I mean, you do know that he has it." I was completely honest with him as I helped him to his feet.

"I think we have had enough for today Emmett. Maybe we can work some more on it tomorrow." I leaned against Jasper as I was talking. It was nice to be near my mate again. We would have to go and check each other over for injuries soon. My instincts were starting to get out of hand and I didn't want to hurt anyone. I could tell Jasper was the same way.

"Okay sis, we can start again tomorrow. Thanks for the lesson today." he walked away over to Rosalie. I don't think he saw or felt the burst of love that came from me at his sentence, but I would now protect him with my life. He had been accepted into my circle, well the outer edges at least.

Jasper felt it though and he beamed with love for me and for his brother. He started pulling my arm to go into the woods. He needed to hunt, and I wanted other things that came soon after hunting.

We were gone for the rest of the night. Hunting, running and playing in the woods. We made it back to the house around dawn to shower and relax in bed before our next afternoon.

APOV

It took me awhile to find Edward from his hunting trip. That new harlot is affecting my visions even though she isn't near me. That stupid shield is an inconvenience to me and my desire to take over the world.

I finally found him near a waterfall basking in the silence. "Edward, I have been looking for you everywhere. I have to show you something." I replayed the meeting in the wood between Jasper and Isa in my head for him to see.

As the encounter continued, I could see Edward's mind begin to go wild with possibilities. "We need to go tell Carlisle right now. He will want to know. Especially since Aro called again. You know that he is going to be freaking out about it. We should go talk to him.

When we got back to the house Edward could tell that Carlisle was in his office. The others were out watching Isa train Emmett. I don't know why, I mean without her powers she is probably not too skilled. We went up and knocked on Carlisle's office.

A resounding "Enter" echoed from the other side of the door. I put on my 'I'm too sweet and semi naive face' and entered his office. Carlisle is more agreeable when he thinks that any idea is his own. I play into that image well.

"Carlisle, we have to talk to you. Right now, it's about Isa." Edward started out. I spoke to him in my mind. Don't say her name. She has probably has our powers and is using them. If you say her name it draws her attention. Just like when we say your name in our heads.

"Carlisle would you go hunting with us? We wanted to get out for a little bit away from all the violence around the house. It is just barbaric to be fighting like that in the front yard. They should at least have gone into the woods before displaying that type of behavior." My voice was high pitched and childlike. Carlisle is an honest pacifist man. He despises when we fight.

Carlisle nodded in agreement with me and we raced out the back door. Hidden from view of the front of the house.

"Did you have something to talk about Edward? I was a little distracted when you came in. You know how Aro is coming for the family right. He checks up on us to see how your powers are and if they get any stronger." Carlisle started in on one of his rants.

"They will come and take you away. My first and favorite child. You will be taken from me. He will come and bring the guard. Nobody can beat them… I won't see you ever again. I thought my friendship with him would keep him from coming for at least another hundred years… maybe we could run… no that won't work Demetri would find us immediately…" Carlisle continued down this path for about 10 minutes before Edward could get to him.

This muttering has gotten worse the last few years. He is super paranoid and jittery almost. Like a genius whose mind works above everybody else, so they have a hard time describing their ideas. Edward is worried for him, he really does love his father figure.

I am not happy Carlisle is going crazy, but I am also glad that this works into my ultimate plan of taking the Volturi. The ruse of Aro taking our family has been easy to keep up.

I pretend to have a vision of the event, Edward sees it in his mind, he freaks out to Carlisle, Carlisle calls Aro to chat and gossip, I have a vision that everything is fine again. Lately the visions of being 'fine' have gotten fewer. Instead I fabricate a lot of different scenarios that Edward again sees, and we talk about them.

If fate won't work in your favor, then you have to manipulate it to do so. I will rule the vampire world.

"Carlisle, it's okay. Alice has found our secret weapon. Isa multiple powers. She is who you always hear about from Aro. We just have to capture her and make her work for us. From all her time in the South she could take on the guard." Edward was trying to calm down Carlisle with the new information. I think it would have been better slap him and see if he would come out of it. I don't voice that idea because of the look I get from Edward.

The last time I suggested it, he snarled at me and told me to get away until I had better ideas. It was a little startling honestly.

"What? What did you say?" Carlisle was starting to come out of it, so I stepped in.

"Carlisle, we found a way to save the family. Isa, she has the power to take on the guard. She is powerful with that shield and she has other powers. I don't know the extent, but she can win against the Volturi. All we have to do is convince her to work for us." I got excited at the end. Keeping my thoughts hidden was difficult when I was this close to my goal, but I had to act myself to get these buffoons to work with me.

"How are we going to do that though? She is really powerful and says she is tired of fighting." Edward. My dear sweet idiot brother.

"What is the one thing we know about her. Completely know?"

"I don't know. She doesn't talk about herself and I can't stay in the same room with her because I am unable to not insult Jasper. I don't care. Those scarred freaks deserve each other."

He is jealous of Jasper. He thinks Isa is beautiful but being Jasper's mate, he won't go near her. He has seen too many things in Jasper's mind to make him think he would have a chance of winning that one.

"Exactly, Jasper is her weakness. She will do anything to keep him safe. All we have to do is get him out of the picture and tell her the only way to get him back is to help us." There is the intelligence I needed from Carlisle. He came out of his ramblings at just the right time.

"Okay here is what we are going to do. I have a contact that I know is in desperate need of a person with Jasper's skill set, that barbarian. I will contact that person to get him and you both will be responsible for distracting Isa. Don't get dismembered. I have a place we can keep her, well I will in about a week. We will plan on that. In one week we will have Isa for ourselves to use against the Volturi." Carlisle came in handy once again. Now I remember why I don't kill him now.

Soon I will be in control. In the first vision I had when meeting the family this is what was happening. They were going against the Volturi. Now I will as well. All is going according to plan.

Thank you for reading. Until Next time!
