Previously...
(Jasper's POV)
I shivered at the thought, but couldn't help but to be in awe of everything I was hearing. Not just because of the sound of her voice, but the information coming from that voice.
"So, what happened? How did you become a vampire?" I asked her.
Her emotions became depressed and she closed her eyes as she began her tail, reliving it. Pictures of her and her sister's invaded my mind as she began to show me what happened to her the night of her change.
Chapter 2
(Jasper's POV)
It was getting late in Seattle as Audriana and her sister began to head home. I could tell that they just came from a fancy restaurant for dinner and drinks. They were dressed in simple but elegant cocktail dresses and it was clear that they each had a nice buzz and knew better than to drive and risk killing themselves or others. They decided to go to a hotel for the night, then make their way home in the morning when they were all sober enough to drive.
They weren't paying attention to their surroundings, giggling and talking to each other threw their thoughts, which I could hear thanks to Audriana. Her sister, Sloan suggested to take a short cut through the alley up ahead that will take them to the next street over where they needed to be to get to the hotel that they agreed to stay at. Audry and her other sister Piper agreed and they turned the corner and made it half way down the alley before they were stopped by two people. A male and a female. It was dark, so their faces weren't clear, but their red eyes stood out.
"Well well, what do we have here?" The male asked.
"Looks to me like dinner has finally arrived." The woman replied with a child like, stalking towards the three girls.
"I am assuming you don't want to keep any of these ones then?" The male questioned, looking to the female.
"No. There is no need. I am looking for bigger and stronger soldiers to start my army. They will need to handle the young ones as we collect and train them. Besides, these three are far too sweet smelling to give up." She answered him as she was now circling them.
The girls knew from the red eyes and from what they spoke of, that they were vampires. They were huddled close together for support from their fear. Audry looked at her sisters and they were very panicked trying to figure out a way out of this, clearly not thinking straight and rationally as she was.
The male rammed into Piper and pushed her against the wall and began to take a deep breath, smelling her pulse point.
"That you are right my love. They do smell quite delectable." He said stroking Piper's cheek while looking at the female.
I could see Piper trying to get him to look at her but he seemed far too gone by the smell of her blood to pay attention to anything but her blood as he got ready to strike. Siren's were known to have the sweetest blood back when there was more than just the three of them.
Audriana knew there was no point in asking questions. They were obviously human drinking vampires and it was obvious that they were going to kill them for their blood as they have done to many others before us.
I heard Sloan whimper as the female knocked her in the head with her fist, making her dizzy and barely able to stand. I heard Piper scream as the male sunk his teeth into her neck and started drinking. Audry choked back a sob trying to be brave and show these monsters that she is not afraid of them.
The woman suddenly was in front of her with her red eyes changing to black before her eyes, backing her into the wall, as traitorous tears escaped her eyes, streaming down her face.
"You shall be mine tonight." The female said taking a deep breath of Audriana's scent before looking at her once again. "Any last words?"
Audry saw this as her chance to possibly save Sloan's life, even if she had to forfeit her own. The male was finished with Piper as he dropped her body to the ground.
She began to sing quietly as to not attract any attention from any human males that may hear her voice.
The female looked at her strangely, wondering what she was playing at obviously until she noticed that her male friend was approaching them in a trance like state, compelled by her and her voice as she sang.
"Riley?" She asked, still holding Audry by her neck but turning to see what was wrong with her companion. "What are you doing?" No answer. "Whats wrong with..." She trailed off as she turned her head to look at Audriana. She stopped singing, knowing that she had control of the situation, shall things take a turn for the worse. The female smiled a sadistic smirk, obviously knowing what was happening at this point. "Release him and I won't kill you."
"How do I know you will keep your word?" Audry asked her.
"Well, the way I see it is that you can either trust me, or I can just go ahead and kill you and your friend which will then release him anyway." She said.
She closed her eyes realizing the female vampiress was right. She just had to take this chance and pray that she was being honest, whatever her reasons may be. So she closed her eyes and mentally released Riley (as she knew now to be his name) from her Siren's hold. He had a shocked look on his face as he couldn't believe what just happened and what was going on in his mind.
Once the female saw that he was free, she turned back to Audry and quicker than she could comprehend, she struck as her teeth latched onto her neck. I could tell that she was changing her by the way that Audriana began to scream. It was then the burning started...
She awoke three days later in a cabin deep in the woods. The woman and Riley were there along with a black male who had an average build, with orange eyes and dread locks down to the center of his back. He looked to be about 25 in human years and has been around for at least a few decades in vampire years. Also, it seems that he had been on the animal diet as well as the human.
Seeing the full profile of the female and Riley for the first time, I noticed that Riley was a young man, no older that 18 with short, dirty blonde hair, the signature red eyes, and had a build of someone who took pride in their body as a human. He probably just graduated from high school and was most likely a football player. A quarter back by his specific build. He had to be the youngest of the three in human and vampire years. A few months old by the looks of him.
The female had a child like face and crimson eyes. She was beautiful like all vampiress's, and looked to be about 20. Definitely the oldest in vampire years though. The most obvious feature of this woman was her fire like red hair that hung in tight curls around her face and ended just below her shoulders.
Seeing these vampires in memories Audriana sent me, I recognized two of them. Victoria was obviously the female who had turned her and the black male was Laurent. But he was supposed to be in Alaska with the Denali's. He had obviously slipped up on the animal diet by choice. Storing this information to come back to later, I paid attention to Audrey's story again.
She looked around for Sloan. Not seeing her she started to panic.
"Where's my sister?" she asked Victoria. She just smirked at her, but didn't answer her question. Realizing what this meant, she started to freak out. "No...you said that if I released Riley that you wouldn't kill us!"
"No, I said I wouldn't kill YOU, I said nothing about not killing your sister." She answered looking at Audry pointedly. "Besides, I needed someone to drink since I decided to keep you."
"Keep me?" She asked.
"Hmmm...she's certainly unique for a newborn isn't she Laurent?" She said looking towards him. "Not only has her hair developed different colored streaks, but her eyes are nothing I have ever seen on a vampire. Also, she hasn't even mentioned the burn yet."
Just as she said that, her throat began to burn. She grabbed for her throat, trying to massage the burn away but to no avail.
Laurent saw this and started to chuckle. "Well she is now." He said nodding in Audrey's direction.
Victoria smiled triumphantly and started towards her. Audriana jumped off the cot against the wall and backed herself into a corner. She still approached her until she was a few feet away and squatted down to her level.
"We shall feed you and then I will explain to you what is going to happen next." She said. "You are of great importance to me and the success of my mission. We may as well try to get along. My name is Victoria. Your ID says your Audriana?"
"Audry." She answered in a small voice.
"Very good." Victoria said. Still maintaining eye contact with Audry, she said, "Riley, go and get our girl here someone to drink. I would like to proceed as soon as possible with her training."
"Of course my love." Riley answered Victoria and then left the room. Nobody moved or said a word until Riley came back with a struggling human girl.
She didn't look any older than 17 with blonde hair and green eyes. She was obviously scared and confused as to what was going on and why she was there. But none of this mattered to Audry, for as soon as they entered the room and she smelled the girls blood, her eyes turned pitch black and she launched herself over Victoria and rushed to the girl, biting her neck and draining her life essence.
When she was finished, she dropped the girl's body as if it had burnt her and looked on her body with wide eyes as if she couldn't have believed what she had just done. She didn't have time to dwell on it, for Victoria quickly approached her and lead her out of the room.
"Laurent, get rid of that will you? It is time have my discussion with Audry here." She said as she sat her down on a small couch and took her seat across from her in a chair. Riley stood quietly behind Victoria and waited for her to begin.
"Let me just start to say that I know that you were never a human. A few decades ago, I met a vampiress who used to be a Siren before she was turned. Her name was Casandra, and went by Cassie to keep up with the times in the human world."A look of recognition crossed Audrey's face at the name. "Ah, I see you knew of her?"
"I knew her when she was a Siren. She was my tutor when I was a child. She disappeared during the time when my species was being hunted. No one knew what happened to her, because no body ever turned up." She answered in a monotone.
"Yes, well she was changed by a vampire named Lucas. She apparently caught his eye and he wanted her." Victoria said dismissing the topic. But Audry was adamant on finding out more information on her long lost tutor who now, besides herself was the only Siren left and was now half vampire as was she.
"What happened to her? Where is she now?" She pressed, showing the first amount of emotion since she woke up.
"I'm afraid she had been killed along with her mate by a group of vampires that wanted their feeding territory. Now no more talk of this, let us continue with you and why I changed you." Victoria said in annoyance. I could see that Audry was distraught with this new information, but let it pass as her sire insisted.
" Now, you see Casandra never lost her ability to use the Siren's Song and could still use her gift to compel or glamor, as I know you still can. Vampires are able to glamor as well, but not nearly to the extent that you can my dear. So right there you are use to me and my cause as it is. Especially when it comes time to command my army once they are created, but we shall get into that further later." She explained moving on quickly. "Also, as you are probably aware, vampires develop their own gifts after their change and seeing what I have observed from you so far, you are likely to be a very powerful being."
"How will I know what my gift is?" Audry asked in a small voice.
"I have a friend that is a pretty powerful being in the south, and she is sending one of her men up who has a gift that can detect a vampire's gift and with concentration on his part can make you know how to use your gift at every angle and develop your gift to it's full extent in a matter of minutes." She said. "He will be here sometime tomorrow."
"Do you and the others have gifts?" Audry asked.
"My mate Riley and I do, yes." Victoria began. "I have the gift of evasion. I can be put in the most complex situations and by instinct know how to get out of it. My gift has help me and those who I have traveled with a great deal a few times."
'James could have definitely used her when we were in Phoenix.' I thought to myself, watching and listening to Audriana's memories of her conversation with Victoria.
"Riley here has the gift of authority. It is like a weaker version of your compelling." Victoria started to explain. "He is able to get anyone's attention and help keep them under control, but it only works on weak minds. Newborns are the perfect example of a weak mind., Or perhaps someone distressed or a depressed human. They have a choice in the matter and are fully aware, but they just have the feeling of wanting to listen to what he says. The only problem is that once he is not around them any more, or in their hearing range as they talk, it wears off."
Audry nodded her head in understanding of what she is hearing.
"Now, the reason for all of this is that Washington is being taken over by a coven of Vampires with golden eyes called the Cullen coven. They are killing innocents, including vampires. I knew some of them and they were all good people. I just barely got away with my life when they killed one of my coven members. Someone who meant a lot to me. Everyone is scared and living in fear of this coven. We have been lucky and we haven't seen them since before I created Riley.
"They watch for a vampire coming to Washington, and once they catch them, they torture and kill them. Sometimes when they are bored enough, they go after humans as well. Even children." Victoria said.
I gasped at this information and listened with baited breath.
Audriana had wide eyes and I could see that she was buying into this information at that point in time.
I knew that she was talking about me and my family because it is only us and the Denali's are the only known vegetarians and neither of us feed from humans, hence, the golden eyes. She is feeding them lies to plan some sort of attack obviously. It has to do with Bella since we killed Victoria's mate. Riley must not know the truth either if he thinks that he is Victoria's true mate.
"They have very strong gifts so we have been having to be extremely careful, especially in Seattle. They have a female member who can see the future, watching every step their intended victim takes, and a young male mind reader giving them the information they can on who intend to kill. There is a big male who is the muscle and a young female blonde bombshell who seduces their victims to come to them while she glamors him. The male leader and his mate run the whole operation.
"But the worst of them all is their final coven member. The leader recruited Ares himself, 'The God of War' into his coven. I am sure you have heard of the Major of the Southern Wars?"
"Major Jasper Whitlock? Yes, I have heard of him and the many stories that followed him." Audry whispered.
Fuck! So she has heard of me and all the shit I've done. I should have known when I felt the recognition when I introduced myself. But she isn't afraid of me...If anything, she is comfortable and content in my presence. Again...another thing to think on later since there are more pressing matters that I am watching as Victoria went on to make up foul lies about our family.
"Yes, that is him." Victoria confirmed. "As you know, he is a very powerful empath and a danger all on his own to any vampire that crosses his path, let alone the things he has done and been doing to innocent humans. My coven and I only kill to survive. We would never think to do the things those monsters do to humans."
"OK. So, what do you need me for?" Audriana asked.
"Well my coven and I are planning on creating a newborn army to take this coven out. With your Siren powers and gifts you are obviously going to develop, you will be a great asset in not only helping to destroy this coven, but helping to keep the newborns in line as well." She answered.
"Alright." Audry said after a couple minutes of thinking. "I'll do it." She had a look of acceptance and pride in her eyes as she thought about all of the lives that she could save of humans and vampires alike. "But I have my conditions."
"And what are these conditions?" Victoria asked skeptically.
"1. I hunt for myself and will only feed on criminals and people who are a menace to society." She said.
"Done." Victoria said waving her hand dismissively.
"2. I will not be treated as anything less than an equal to you and your coven. I refuse to be kept in the dark about anything, and my opinions and ideas will be taken into consideration just as much as yours, Riley's or Laurent's will be."
Victoria obviously wasn't too fond of this condition, but hesitantly nodded her head. "Done."
"And lastly, after this is over with and we kill this coven and any they have with them, I am gone unless I decide otherwise. I am nobody's prisoner."
The look on Victoria's face looked as though she was going to object, but with a pointed look from Audry, she changed her tune and agreed.
"OK then. Now, there is another coven with golden eyes in Alaska that are not to be harmed if you come across them. Laurent's mate Irina belongs to that coven and most importantly, I you happen upon them, do not mention anything about me, Riley or this operation. Are we clear?" Victoria demanded.
"Crystal." Audry shrugged, obviously not caring about the reasons behind this, thinking that it is probably Laurent trying to protect his mate and her coven.
"Good. Now the way you will know you have the right coven is that there will be a human girl with them. She is just as bad as they are and help them in their operation in luring unsuspecting humans to the coven. She is the mate of the mind reader. She is horrible and vile so who ever gets to her first can have her blood. Her name is Bella Swan. She also has the sweetest blood I have ever smelled so it is a reward on it's own to have the pleasure of ending her."
At this point, Laurent reentered the room carrying a red sweater and handed it to Audry.
"This belonged to the girl, so you will know her if you come upon her. Her scent will be on or around them. But if you do come across her with minimal to no pro- coven members, you are to bring her back to us alive." Victoria explained as she covered up her slip of the tongue. It was obvious to Audry that she was going to call the other coven members her 'protection,' but she just let it go for now.
Audry brought the sweater to her nose and took in a deep breath, taking in the scent. Victoria was right about the girl's scent. Her throat immediately began to burn at smell.
"Well now that we are done here," Victoria began getting up out of her chair. "Riley will take you to hunt and when you return, we will begin your fight training until Alejandro arrives."
Riley and Audry were running in silence towards Seattle. It was Riley who decided to break it with an obvious question that I myself was wondering since she agreed to join Victoria.
"Why are you doing this? Why did you decide to help is? For God's sake we killed your sisters!" Riley exclaimed.
"I am not doing this for you, nor do I intend to converse with you all while I am here. I am just doing the right thing in eliminating a dangerous and sadistic coven as so save as many lives as I can." Audry explained. "It's what my sisters would want."
Riley nodded his head in acceptance. "For what its worth, I'm sorry I killed your sisters. I know that no excuse I make or attempt to make it up to you will make it right. I am still fairly new to this and the blood lust makes me do things I would never dream and I hate myself for it. Sometimes I wish there was another way. Would you mind if I tried your way of hunting with you? I really like what you are trying to achieve and I think its really noble of you."
"How so?" Audry questioned. "I'm still a murderer."
"But we have to do it to survive. At least with your way, for every life you take, you actually end up saving so many more." Riley elaborated.
Audry didn't say anything after that, but she was beginning to think that at least maybe Riley wasn't so bad. He is new to this life and after what happened when she killed that girl back at the cabin, she understood exactly where he was coming from. It was just a shame that her sister had to become a victim to this vicious cycle.
It was nearly nightfall the next evening and they were just finishing up with Audrey's battle training. She was a natural and a fast learner. Alejandro was close, for they could all smell him approaching and were all lined up, waiting for him to arrive.
Finally, he came into view and stopped a few feet in front of the group. He was Cuban with straight black hair that came down over his red eyes. He was of average build and seemed to have a kind face. He looked to be about 28 in human years.
"Alejandro my friend!" Laurent greeted the vampire. "It has been far too long."
"Indeed it has senor." Alejandro responded, giving Laurent a pat on the back. "And Victoria. How are you Senora? I heard about James and I am so very sorry to hear of his demise."
A look of pain crossed Victoria's face before she covered it up in front of Audry and Riley. Audry could tell that there was a lot that she wasn't being informed about but until she had more information on the topic, she decided to leave it alone. Riley seemed confused, but held his tongue rather than question his mate on this Jame's identity, though he seemed to pay extra attention to the conversation now.
"I am well. It has been hard, but with the right support I have been getting through the loss." Victoria answered.
Yes, there was definitely something that was being kept from her and Riley after hearing Victoria's response. She decided to talk to Alejandro about it as soon as they were finished bringing about her gifts.
"Now for the reason I am here. You must be Audriana." Alejandro said taking her hand and bringing it up to his lips for a gentle kiss.
I growled watching this scene play out in Audrey's memories. For some reason, I did not like this male touching her nor the way he was speaking and flirting with her. I couldn't understand my reaction to this. I had Alice. Why should I care if this girl is getting attention from other males? I shook my head and pushed the thoughts from my mind.
"It is a pleasure to meet such a beautiful senorita such as yourself." He finished.
"Thank you sir. I appreciate you coming up here to help me with my gifts." Audry replied taking her hand back and placing it at her side.
"It is not a problem. I am always at my Mistresses beck and call and Victoria and Laurent here have always been kind to me." He answered gesturing to the two vampires.
"Speaking of which, how is your Mistress? Doing well I trust?" Victoria asked.
"As well as can be expected. She wanted me to remind you of your bargain regarding the Major and to please let her know of any updates you have for her." He answered as Audry rose her eyebrows in question to herself about the bargain made regarding the Major which to her was just another thing that she was kept out of the loop with.
I stopped Audriana by placing a hand on her leg. I could not bring words to my mouth even if I tried. It was clear as day to me now that Alejandro's Mistress was Maria and Victoria had made some sort of deal regarding me with her.
I got up and started pacing back and forth trying to figure out what it could be. I knew that Maria was very upset at my leaving and would most likely push to find a way to get me back to either force me to go back to training her newborns again, or torture and kill me herself.
I could feel the Major attempting to push his way out and I fought him with every bit of energy I could muster. He hasn't been out in almost 60 years and now all of the sudden I meet this girl and I am acting so out of control and now after all this time he chooses now to try and make an appearance.
'Let me out!'
'No! There is no danger here. Just listen to everything and make your own opinions and we can converse about them. There is no need for you here right now.'
'I don't care! Let me the fuck out!' He roared, rattling the bars on his cage that I have kept locked for so long in the darkest parts of my mind.
'I can't do that! Please! Bella is over there sleeping and she is human! Not to mention Audriana is here and I don't want to scare her away yet.'
At the mention of Audriana, he stopped fighting me and took his seat quietly. Odd. The Major obviously has some sort of infatuation with Audry. He has never given up so easily before and accepted my plea's so quickly.
I was broken out of my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Audry asked in my mind. She must have seen the turmoil in my eyes, because she hesitantly pulled me close and wrapped her arms around me.
Her scent assaulted my senses, calming me and bringing me peace from everything that threatened to drown me. I slowly raise my arms and brought them around her body and pulled her tighter to me. She felt so good in my arms and between that and her smell, I felt like I was home.
Then, out of no where, a soft, continuous rumbling sound came from my chest and Audry clutched me tighter. It sounded like I was...purring? I have heard some of the other males do that around the house before, but I have never done it myself. Audry seemed to like the sound as her emotions showed contentment and happiness.
I pulled back to look at her. Her eyes were so hypnotizing and the gold specks made the sparkle. She was just so beautiful and desirable. I knew I needed to hear the rest of her story and figure out what kind of threat Victoria is going to bring our way, so I can call and prepare the family. But none of that seemed to matter right now, holding her in my arms and breathing her in.
My eyes flashed down to her lips and she mimicked my action. I had to kiss her. It was like a magnet pulling us together with a force so unknown to me. I began to lean in to her. I was about a millimeter away from her lips when we heard a groan.
Our heads whipped towards Bella as she began to stir from her slumber. That seemed to snap us out of it as we quickly backed away from each other and prepared for Bella to wake...
