Hi, Anonymous here, i decided the more i update, the more i get reviews. i like reviews, never understood why authors always spent three paragraphs about how much they love reviews. Now i know. It's the best feeling in the world- Being noticed, and complimented. So anyway, here's my new chapter, you get to meet certain fairies in this chapter. *Wink wink* Read last chapter for reference.
The forest didn't stand a chance. Not when me and Declan were in it. There's a feeling i get when i'm in a place like this. It was hard to place, but impossible to ignore. I guess the best way to explain it was, confidence. Or something akin to it. I guess Fenrir, or as i liked to call him: The-dick-who-ruined-my-life. That's right, i hated Fenrir, i hated him for everything i was. I wasn't afraid to show it, he ruined my life.
We ran for a few more miles until we hit a clearing, which -Thank god- i could fit in. Smells like vampire here anyway. Declan trudged over to a boulder that bordered a stream and sat down, panting. He looked up at me and spoke. When one of my pack or i spoke, it wasn't like talking. My creations used what was called voice of the wilder. It sounded to anyone who wasn't listening like whispers in the wind, and babbling brooks. But to us it was like a million voices, speaking for us. It was the coolest thing. "Are you going to change?" I nodded and sat down in the middle. Okay..Okay..Shit i forgot how to change. Oh! I stood up and walked over to Declan, leaning my head over him so he could reach one of the chains there. He took the hint and grabbed the chain, pulling as hard as he could. Soon they started to work on their own and he let go.
The chains strained against my fur and soon i felt my skin burning, melting under the chains' heat. I smelled moreso than saw my fur slowly burn until i was bald, but the chains didn't stop squeezing and burning my flesh. I howled and writhed, biting at my own flesh just to relieve the pain i felt. I was tearing myself to pieces, but it didn't relieve the muscles underneath. The chains squeezed tighter, causing my bones to collapse into themselves. Soon i was just a mass of bloody flesh, curled in like a ball. Then and only then did the chains start to loosen, only to wrap around different part of the mass, pulling them until they broke off from the mass. When there was five points around the center, they started to take shap. Bones snapped and formed, the blood around the me seeped into my skin and burned hot through my veins. Hair poked through, feeling like thousands of needles sticking into my skin. All this came together for one goal: Cause Fenrir's keeper as much pain as they can. When the pain climaxed, it stopped. Signaling the end of the change.
My eyes shot open and i sat up, gasping for breath. My lungs had yet to form, and i was clawing at my chest, as if it would help. Eventually, when i was about to pass out from lack of air, my lungs poofed into place. I took several deep breaths, getting as much air as i could like it was crack. Declan walked over and offered me his hand-claw-thing. i took it gratefully a let him pull me to my feet. "Man, never gonna get used to that, that's probably the most horrific thing i've ever seen." he said with a shudder.
I nodded, You and me both. and walked over to the stream to wash the blood off of my skin. When i was finished i looked down at my body, scowling. I was naked, I hate that. I jogged over to the tree line and told Declan i'd be right back before i took off. I made it home in record time and bolted over to the side of our fake room, grabbing a pair of pants and t-shirt, putting them on i grabbed Declan a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt. I shut the door behind me and took off toward the clearing.
When i got there the sweet scent invaded my senses, and i spotted someone i thought was dead, talking to Declan. Declan was talking back, but i don't think the intruder understood him. What the hell, i need to find a new connection. I stared at him, mouth slightly open. I took a shaky breath and ran my free hand through my hair. He must've heard me because he turned and stared back at me, expression mirroring my own. Declan blinked at the lack of attention he was getting and looked between us, "Do you two..Know eachother?.." I nodded and grinned, "Yeah i do, Whitlock i thought you were dead, what happened to you?" Jasper looked at Declan and back at me, "You know what he's saying?" I nodded.
Jasper shrugged and laughed, walking towards me with his arms outstretched, "General? I thought you were dead aswell! I was captured by a troop of vampires and changed. I was forced to lead their army in the vampire wars, why are you still alive? I thought you were human?" He hugged me and pulled back, looking me up and down, "You look the same, but you...feel and smell different, i'm a little scared of you ma'am." I smiled softly and patted his arms, stepping away from him. I walked over to Declan and handed him his clothes. He smiled greatfully at me and walked into the trees to shift. I turned back to Jasper, standing straight and put on my stony mask. "Major Whitlock, i was never human, i was going to tell you when the wars were over, but you disappeared. I guess i know now, but you- your eyes, they aren't red, why is tha- Oh tell me you aren't one of the fake vampires?"
He chuckled and shook his head, "Afraid i am ma'am, me and my family drink from animals. Ah, by the way, i would be honored if you would come with me to meet them, i told them alot about you. And our time together. Unless you want to stay here and talk, ma'am. I'll understand." His southern twang was still there. We'd know eachother in the civil war back in the mid eighteen-hundreds. He was a Major and i was a General, i didn't want to tell people my name since they'd figure out i was not a man, and try to kill me, they wouldn't succeed. Obviously. So i'd told them to call me General, or 'Gen' for short. Whitlock was my right hand man, a true gentleman. We became friends and i was actually planning on telling him what i was, and was going to offer him immortality as a werewolf, but he disappeared. Now i guess his chances of becoming one were slim to none, seeing as i had no idea what would happen if i tried to mix my blood with his.
"I guess i can meet your family, it will be nice to see Carlisle again, and the little one again" I couldn't for the life of me remember her name, but i really wanted to. Maybe seeing her again would jog my memory.
Jasper simply nodded, looking at me uncertainly before gesturing for me to follow him. Declan had joined us by now and the three of us took off towards his home. When we arrived i took a moment to take in the grandeur of his home, Guess it's got to be this big to hold that many vampires. When Jasper opened the door he was engulfed in some woman's arms. She looked like and angel, well, i suppose they all did. When she spoke i was immediately put at ease, muscles i didn't know were tense relaxed. "Welcome home Jasper, i hope you enjoyed your hunt?" I guess she didn't notice us yet. "Who's your friend? She's HOT." a man's voice boomed from what i took to be the living room. I looked over to see a large man sitting on the couch, Wow he's a big guy isn't he? He would look intimidating if it wasn't for the huge shit eating grin on his face. A fierce looking blonde smacked him on the back of the head and stood up, crossing her arms. Must be his mate. A boy with gravity defying hair walked toward us, with his hands in his pockets, his adonis features adorning a brooding look. Wimp. Fenrir growled in agreement. Another familiar face walked down the stairs and smiled when he saw me. "Casstiel, how good it is to see you, but why are you here? Does Aro need me?" I shook my head, Fenrir growled at the mere accusation that i would work for someone like Aro.
"No Carlisle, i don't work for Aro, never did, never will. I wanted to see you again, is there anything wrong with that?" the other members of the family, sans Jasper and Carlisle, stared at me with a glazed look in their eyes. Oops, guess i'm too hot to handle, i thought with a smirk. Carlisle wrapped his arm around his mate and smiled at me, "No of course not, please accept my appologies, i did not mean to offend you. May i ask how you know Jasper here?" I was about to answer him when Jasper spoke up, in a calm manner. "This is the woman i told you about, my friend and commanding officer from the civil war." He said. The motherly vampire grinned and suprised me by wrapping her arms around me and squeezing tightly. Fenrir snarled, thinking she was the chains and i quickly hushed him, though i could feel something burn behind my eyelids and i was willing to bet my eyes were red. Whe she pulled back she did a double take, "Oh honey, your eyes are changing color, are you alright?"
I stared openly at her, why is she worried about me? The amount of energy i accidently lost control of should send her whimpering in a corner, fearing for her life. Carlisle shifted uncomfortably and grabbed his mate by the waist, "Ah Esme, i don't think that's a good idea, Casstiel, you never told me that you were in the Civil war." Carlisle was used to me losing control, he understood. Jasper, however, was a different story. I looked over at him and noticed that he was looking at the ground, radiating fear, and he was also a few feet away from where he was when i last looked. The bronze haired male was in the living room, glaring daggers at me, and the blonde was slightly behind her mate, who still had that grin, "Oh that is so cool! You gotta teach me how to do that!" Fenrir growled happily, i guess he like the big guy.
Declan chose that moment to push me out of the way, i hadn't realised i was still in the doorway. Effectively keeping him outside. I stumbled and caught myself, glaring at him. He just huffed and walked inside, "It's cold out there." he stuck his hand out to Esme and grinned, "Hi i'm Declan, and this is...Isabella." He looked at me and smiled. I just rolled my eyes at him and waited for the introductions. "Hello dear, i'm Esma, this is Carlisle, and that's Jasper. Though i'm sure you already know that." She gestured to Jasper. She looked around for her other children and said, "Children, please come in here and introduce yourselves." One by one they filed into the room we were in, and another child walked in through the back door. She was the one i was looking for, short spikes and pixie like features. She was even shorter then i remembered. Now I remember her name. Fenrir howled in happiness. Oh yeah, i forgot that you'd taken a liking to Mary Alice. While i was laughing at Fenrir the others started to introduce themselves.
The big guy grinned and stuck his hand out, "I'm Emmett." Did he not have an inside voice? Declan took his hand and matched his grin. "Don't suppose you like to play games do ya?" I swear to god Emmett's grin only grew wider. The two boys ran to the living room, Declan asking him what games he had along the way. The blonde woman nodded to me, "I'm Rosalie." I smiled and nodded my head in respect, she -as Declan would put it- 'knew what was up'. The broody wimp offered me his hand and smiled what he thought was a charming half smile. "Hello, i'm Edward." I shook his hand, not holding on longer than was absolutly necessery. He looked hurt for a moment before going back to brooding, stalking off after Emmett and Declan. Rosalie nodded once more and followed him. Mary Alice walked up to me and smiled before pulling me into a hug. I had to stoop slightly to hug her. Fenrir apparently, didn't like stooping, so i picked her up and hugged her, "Hello little pixie, it is good to see you again." i muttered into her ear.
When i put her down she looked at me oddly, and her eyes had darkened from a burnt gold to onyx. I frowned, remembering that she didn't remember me, and consequently, her nickname. She grabbed my hand and tugged me towards the living room where everyone else had located to, save for Esme and Carlisle, who i guess went to their bedroom.
Rosalie was situated on the couch, reading a magazine while playing with Emmett's hair. The giant himself was sitting on the floor in front of Rosalie. Edward was sitting on a piano bench and Jasper was on a recliner. Declan was standing near Emmett with a controller in his hand. Alice pulled me onto a different couch and tugged my hand, indicating for me to sit next to her.
Declan tossed a controller to me and i caught it, slightly suprised. I raised my eyebrow at him and he laughed. "C'mon sis, please play with us? I want to kick Emmett's ass." Emmett yelped as if it was an insult, "Hey! I bet you a hundred bucks she couldn't beat me one on one at Halo 3!" Declan scoffed and looked at me for a reaction. I didn't give him one. Declan gaped at me like a fish, "You're just going to take that? He insulted your abilities at gaming!" I continued to stare at him blaankly. "Isabella Marie McFarelley! If you don't take that bet, I'll tell the pack. I'll tell Eve!" he grinned triumphantly. I narrowed my eyes at him. "You've never seen Eve, so you wouldn't know her if you saw her." He smirked at me, "No, but you talk about her all the time, it wouldn't be hard to guess." i growled in irritation and noticed Rosalie and Alice staring at me. Rosalie 's magazine was laying face up in her lap, so i could see the cover, there were a few muscle cars and in bold brick letters was the word, 'McFarelley's Restoration' Oops.. " Isabella Marie McFarelley? As in McFarelley's Restoration Company?" My mouth opened and closed like a fish. I slamed my mouth shut, jaw snapping and faced the T.V screen, looking at the Halo title screen. I muttered a "Nope", ignoring her disbelieving stare and immersed myself into the deathmatch between Emmett and I. Guess i have to change my damn last name aswell. Hallaway?..No..Crane?..Swan! That'll do nicely.
After about an hour Emmett was pouting and i was grinning, with my hand in a 'score' manner. I wooped and held my hand out to Emmett, "Fork it over big guy!" Emmett grumbled but handed me the hundred dollar bill regardless. He crossed his arms and pouted, "Bellllls, you jipped me out of seven hundred bucks! Give me one more chance." I smiled at him and pretended to think about it. "I can't Emmett, i've got to meet the m- uhh, someone..soon." Smooth.. Emmett cocked an eyebrow and grinned slyly, "Someone? Are they hot? Does he like to play games? Ooooh, what if it's a chick? that would be so hot!" Rosalie smacked him in the back of the head and glared. I frowned and cocked my head, "Why would you assume that it's a woman? Wouldn't you find that immorale?" He grinned and gestured to Mary Alice, "Nah, Ali-cat is a total lady lover, which is cool. I can take her to strip clubs and stuff like that."
I bit my lip to keep from laughing at Mary Alice's reaction. Declan had other plans though and started laughing like a maniac, Mary Alice's eyes were the size of saucers and she looked down at the ground, muttering incoherently. I cooed and walked over to her, wrapping her in my arms, "D'awww do not worry little pixie, Declan and i aren't ones to judge, we've both played for the other team." She sniffled and looked up at me with big doe eyes. I blushed slightly, suddenly uncomfortable. "Really? You mean it?" I stuttered and looked away, "Uh..Err..Yeah..I do mean it." She grinned and stood on her toes to plant her lips on mine. When she pulled away she danced over to Declan and kissed him too. Fenrir growled, bringing me out of my daze, i shook my head and nodded, "Yep, we've got no problem at all." i muttered.
I looked at Declan who was grinning from ear to ear, "Declan we gotta go. Now." Rosalie hurried over and stood in my path as i walked towards the door. I raised my eyebrow at her and she hurriedly explained herself, "We enjoyed having you over and would love it if you would visit again soon. I want to see what you can do with vehicles, seeing as you're the Casstiel McFarelley." Mary Alice interrupted me before i could speak, What is with you people and interrupting me? "What's she talking about? What's so special about your name?" I sighed and gave up all hopes of leaving, I really did want to go get my motorcycle from the movers. I walked over to the couch and plopped down, Mary Alice walked over and sat next to me, running her hand up my arm soothingly, Seriosuly? Fenrir only purred in response.
"Casstiel McFarelley as in McFarelley's Restoration Company. As in the founder of the largest restoration company in the world, and the most underground corporation in the world." Mary Alice nodded slowly, thinking about it, so i spoke to Rosalie, "The people i wanted to meet was the movers, they've got a few of my things i brought her from Ireland, including my motorcycle." Edward looked over and inquired, "Why do you need movers?" I looked at him incredulously, Is he an idiot? "Why do you think?" Mary Alice grabbed my hand and shook it excitedly, "You're moving here?" she all but squeeled. I nodded and rubbed my ear, it hurt from all the loud noises. Jasper wandered over and grinned, "Well ma'am, that's wonderful news. I guess i'll get to see what you'd look like in a school situation." I looked at him strangely, not liking the word school. "What do you mean? My plans most definitely do not involve school." i growled the last part. Jasper held his hand up in surrender, "I'm sorry Gen, i just assumed. I mean, you don't look old enough to be out of school, people will talk. It'll raise suspicions."
I crossed my arms like a child, he had a point, didn't mean i liked it. "I'll tell them i'm home schooled or something." Mary Alice put her head on my shoulder and pouted up at me, her eyes growing wide and doe like, "Please Bella, attend school with us, it will be boring without you." i grimaced and tried to look away, failing miserably. I growled loudly, sounding more like a wolf than human, and Mary Alice took it as a victory. She jumped up and pulled me with her to the door. Declan followed, "Excellent! I can't wait to see you there!" She opened the door and playfully pushed Declan out. Just as she reached up to push me out too she grabbed my collar and pulled me down so she could whisper in my ear, "And i can't wait to see you on that motorcycle." He breath tickled the back of my neck and i shuddered, mind flying to the gutter. Damn Fenrir, you sure know how to pick them huh? Fenrir only growled at me. I was pushed away and started walking down the steps. I looked over my shoulder to see Mary Alice staring at my back before she closed the door. Well then, now i can't wait to get to school.
Okay, well, i wasn't going to make Bella go to school, but i changed my mind. So, i was thinking about next chapter, what should it be- Jasper and Bella's story? Alice's and Bella? Or how she got Fenrir? Or school. Let me know, and fast, because i'm starting the next chapter tomorrow morning. Adios. Oh! And tell me what you thought of the Cullens, their reactions, etc. I'm not going to describe each ones feature, you know what they look like. And plenty of other authors make fanfics for that. It's a waste of time to me, and frankly, it's not fun, it's infuriating. I don't know what the hell 'Button nose' is supposed to look like. Don't ask.
