Ch8:
BPOV:
I open my eyes feeling content happier than I've ever been. The sun is peeking out from over the trees as I lay in a meadow. A smile plays on my lips as I inhale my new favorite smell, smoky pines.
Jasper shifts underneath me wrapping his arms tightly around my waist, "what are you so happy about darling'?" he asks a crooked grin on his face.
"Oh nothing in particular just the nice day ahead of us, the man beneath me," I whisper in his ear nibbling and kissing on the skin behind it. I feel him shiver. He quickly flip over him on top my hands pinned above my head.
"You're playing with fire Darling" he says kissing a path down my neck to my collar bone making my back arch in need.
"Jasper…" I plead. "Yes daring" he asks innocently "what do you need?"
"You…" I whimper I needed him even though I have had him only an hour ago.
He leans down his hand trailing down my bare sides, lips kissing every curve and angle of my body. I release a purring growl of pleasure. Jasper purrs too making my need grow.
Let's just say we spent a few more hours by our selves
When we returned to the house everyone was waiting for us. No one was inside though they spread around the yard some standing others sitting or lying down.
"I think we should move soon" I said getting everyone's attention. I had been thinking about for a while the Volturii would soon find out what has become of Carlisle and the others. "The Volturi will come soon to check what has happened to Carlisle we need to be gone by then." I say looking everyone in the eye. The nod though Esme looks a little sad Eliza and Bree have fear in their eyes though from the Volturi or leaving I'm not sure. "I need to look in Carlisle's study to see if I can figure out what he has done to us. See if there's anything else we don't know" I say walking into the house I hear three others follow I dot need to turn to see who it is.
I walk up the stairs to where I know this office to be and open the door slowly. Even still a wave of chemicals come our way burning my nose. I step in and go to the desk where several; stacks of paper are sitting I look at one and find my name on the papers, quickly skimming through them I find that he injected me with a serum made of shifter's venom and blood, what I find interesting though is that it's from an alpha, how he got it it doesn't say. I look over at Bree's pile and find that he used only a certain DNA pieces to make her shift then added owl DNA. Looking over to the next pile I see he also did experiments on Eliza before she came to me. Using the blood of a shifter and only a fraction of the venom he used on me. The notes say that she has not changed yet but will in the on coming weeks if her emotions are strong enough. This makes my hands shake, my anger grow, when I'm about to lose it I feel a hand drop onto my shoulder sending a huge wave of calm into me.
" everything is ok Hun, Eliza is fine , look at her she needs your support now" he whispers in my ear I look over to Eliza to see her back to a wall her hands in her hair, breathing shallowly, tears in her eyes. In a flash I have her in my arms stroking her hair. "I won't let anything happen to you. Ok? I will keep you safe, we will deal with this later you are still my daughter, always." I coo into her ear I feel her relax into my arms sagging
"Ok ok I can deal with this right? I can do this" he mumble to herself.
"That's it my girl" I say I open my eyes to see Bree tearing up wanting to be in my arms too, I open my arms to her reaching out an arm in invitation. See looks up to me and then she's in my arms hugging both of us with all her might.
When we let go of each other I walk over to the safe he has under the desk. Ripping it pen I see only two things, a grey cloak folded up neatly and an old ring, the Volturi crest embedded into it. I take them out to see a fine layer of dust on them, they've been in here a long time. I unfold the robe to take a better look at it when something small drops out of its folds.
I look down on the ground to see a blood red cross on a chain. Picking it up I see an inscription "mutare mundi" (change the world) I set it on the desk thinking change the world, change the world. I look in the pockets to see if there is a hint. I find an old piece of parchment folded delicately in the right breast pocket it read,
Dear old friend,
I hope you have great luck on the path you have chosen we, the kings, would like to give you a gift to remember us by on the long journey ahead of you. We wish you luck on your self-appointed mission to save the world. May you get what you wish for and more.
Your brothers,
Aro Claus Marcus
I shove the cross and paper in my pocket to think about later. I walk out of the office and outside again. There are more important matters to focus on now. I walk over to peter who is sitting on the porch I notice charlotte talking to rose. Sitting down I turn to him "Did you know?" I asked wondering if he knew any of the things we found out in the office.
"I knew of the letter and the cross in the safe. I also knew of what was done to you and Bree , but I can honestly say I didn't know of Eliza before you opened that door." He takes a deep breathe then looks over to me meeting my eyes. "I also know that Eliza needs to phase and soon or things could go bad, as in several injuries and possible death." He whispers to me making sure no one is listening to us.
My anger peaks for a second, eyes flashing silver. "how?"
