CHAPTER 14
I gasped out as I fell to my knees and wrapped my arm round my waist and let out a scream of agony. No not Chelsea, they can't kill my baby. I sobbed loudly as I got to my feet and ran to my house as fast as I could. I burst through the front door, literally but I didn't care as I searched for my cell phone. Sobs were still wracking my body as dialed Aro's number and I bit my lip when he didn't answer.
"Fuck!" I yelled out and tried again. Still no luck.
Jasper and Peter ran into the room at that point and my face must be a state because they both froze on the spot and their faces fell. Jasper took a step towards me.
"Bells, what's the matter?" Jasper asked.
I shook my head unable to say the words; I couldn't otherwise it'd seem real. I ran upstairs to my bedroom, glad Damon had removed all his crap and ran to my safe hidden behind a panel in my walk in closet. I opened it quickly and removed my passport and credit cards. I couldn't just stand around here doing nothing, I was going to Italy myself to try and stop the terrible thing happening. I blurred back downstairs and was about to walk out the door when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered but I already knew who it was going to be.
"Isabelle, I'm so sorry," Aro's voice came through the phone.
"No, not Chelsea," I whimpered quietly.
"I'm so sorry, Felix and Demetri are tracking them now, I shall let you know when we find them." Aro's said.
I dropped the phone and let out an agonized scream; I collapsed on the floor in a heap and rocked back and forth as I tried to hold my self together. The others rushed to me and kept asking me what was wrong but I couldn't say it. I didn't want to tell them my baby had died. It would seem real if I said those two words that made my world crumble. I sobbed brokenly as the realization hit me. Chelsea was gone, never coming back. I would never see her smiling again, never hear her laugh or argue with me when she couldn't get what she wanted. I would have gladly taken her place. The world already seemed a much darker place without my Chelsea in it. Stefan knelt in front of me.
"Belle, tell me what's wrong," he asked softly. Elena was stood behind him with worry on her face.
"Is it Damon? Is there something wrong with Damon?" Elena fired off. I shook my head and she breathed a sigh of relief and walked off. Bitch.
"Belle, come on you can tell me," Stefan urged.
"Chelsea," I sobbed out her name.
"What's wrong with her Belle?" he asked urgently.
I knew that he was worried about her. Chelsea and Stefan got on brilliantly. They loved playing jokes on each other and just talking about history. Plus he was a great uncle to her. I sobbed harder at the memories.
"She's gone," I whispered brokenly.
"Gone where?" Jasper asked.
"Dead," I sobbed and I heard several gasps from everyone. "My baby's gone," I whispered brokenly.
Everyone tried talking to me and asking me what they could do to help. I just needed to get out of here. I ran upstairs and grabbed a shoulder bag to put my phone, credit card and passport in then ran back out. They tried calling after me but I ignored them. I felt too stifled in that house. I dropped my bag, stripped off my clothes and tied them to my leg and then phased into my wolf form and picked up the bag straps between my teeth and ran to La Push. My mind kept repeating the vision of Chelsea getting ripped apart and it was killing me.
Just as I got to the boundary line I let out an agonized howl. A few moments later I felt several people shift. I heard the entire pack in my mind at once. They seemed worried.
Isabelle what's wrong? –Sam
Chelsea's dead- Me
I heard several howls ring out as they made their way to me. I curled up on the floor and whined as I thought about my Chelsea. Leah trotted over to me as she stepped in the clearing I was led in and curled up beside me; the others soon came and joined us. We were all curled up together and sharing each others pain. This was the support I needed. I counted these people as my family. I then realized I needed to call my brothers.
Isabelle what will you do now? – Sam
Kill those bastards the Cullen's – I snarled.
What do you need us to do? – Leah
Keep La Push safe, the Cullen's know I have an alliance with you so they might try something here, I need to get my brother's here also. I need to get Alec and Jane here; if they start living off of animals do you think they could stay in a secluded house in La Push. I need them protected. I couldn't protect Chelsea but I need those two safe. I can't lose anymore of my children. – Me
Sure, as long as they stick to golden eyes. What about the vamps staying at your house? – Sam
They should be fine, 3 of them have fought in Vampire wars and the Salvatore's should be fine, we're faster and stronger than the Cold Ones. – Me
So what are your brother's like? – Leah
You'll have to wait and see, I shall contact my sister also. She needs to be here too. I need all my family together. We'll position ourselves over Forks and La Push. Doing regular boundary checks but no one is to be patrolling alone. I shall have my many spies over the world keep an eye out for the Cullen's. – Me
Sounds good, we can do patrols in pairs and even three's – Sam.
When I'm around I shall patrol with you and I also will keep watch of the imprints. I can use my bird form most of the time if they need their privacy. I shall also perform some spells on La Push. I'm considering dropping out of school also until this all blows over. – Me
What kind of spells and I don't think you'll need to stop going to school. – Sam
Maybe like a boundary spell to repel vampires that you haven't invited onto your land, a mind block on all of the pack, imprints and elders. And protection spells on yourselves and your homes. I'm thinking that we should have a building/house as a safety bunker for the imprints and elders in case there is a breach. – Me
Sounds like a good idea. – Sam
I'll draw up plans tonight. We haven't got time to do this legally so find a place that's remote but can be protected easily and if we all chip in building it then we should get it done in what a month or so? – Me
I agree with you Belle – Jacob.
Me Too – the rest chimed in.
We need to also make sure it's fully stocked with food, medical supplies. Blood bags. Weapon's etc. If you lot deal with food I can do the rest. – Me
Okay, we'll going to get on it right away, are you going to be okay? – Sam
Not really but I'll have to be for the moment. – Me
I stood up and phased back, not really caring about decency at the moment, I pulled my clothes back on and watched as everyone stood up and phased back. They all came over and gave me comforting hugs that ended up in a group hug.
"I love you guys," I said.
"We love you too Bells," They chorused.
I stepped back and bent down to pick up my bag, the rest of the pack left to get things done; I ran home and saw everyone outside on the lawn waiting for me.
"Are you okay Bells?" Rose asked. I shook my head.
"Why on earth would I be okay Rose?" I snapped. She looked like she was gong to say something but decided against it. Good girl.
I went inside and into the kitchen, grabbing a blood bag and draining it. I was half through my second bag when they all came into the kitchen with concern on their faces. I finished my second bag then dropped it in the trash can.
"What's the plan Isabelle?" Stefan asked me softly.
"I'm going to kill the Cullen's," I said calmly. Rose and Jasper looked horrified.
"Problem with my plan?" I asked angrily.
"Why are you going to kill them?" Jasper asked.
"They killed my daughter so I kill them. Do you know what it was like to be sucked into a vision and see your daughter ripped to pieces by Edward and Esme Cullen and then see Alice light her up? To feel her pain as well as everyone else's?" I snarled angrily. The others took a step back and didn't say anything.
"No I didn't think so," I snapped.
I stormed out of the room with tears in my eyes just thinking about it makes me want to drop down and cry but I can't. I need to be strong for the others at this moment in time. I grabbed my bag and pulled out my phone and dialed Aro's number.
"Hello?" Aro asked, he sounded upset.
"Aro, it's me," I replied simply.
"Isabelle, how are you doing?" He asked.
"Terribly, you?"
"About the same, what can I do for you?" He asked.
"I'm going to need you to send Afton, Jane and Alec to me for a while. I need them here with me after Ch- what happened?" My voice broke so I cleared my throat.
"They'll be there tomorrow, I send you my deepest sympathies Belle, your father and mother are distraught and so is everyone else," He said sadly.
"Thank you Aro, I have to go, phone you soon," I said then hung up.
I went down into my library and started thinking up designs for a safe house. After a few hours brainstorming I came up with a three floor house. It would have eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen with plenty of storage space. In the attic would be a medical room full of supplies, weapons and blood bags. The basement would have an iron door and iron walls with no windows which made it pretty soundproof, a few hidden compartments around the house for weapons and medical supplies. We would install heavy duty metal shutters on all of the windows and doors incase we needed them. So basically a fort that would offer a little protection for the imprints. I don't know why but had a feeling and my instincts were telling me we needed this. That a shitstorm was brewing and it was coming right our way.
Once I had finished drawing up the blue prints and ordering supplies online to be dropped off at my house, I took the blue prints and walked downstairs. I saw everyone in the living room so I walked in and sat on the window seat checking my plans once more. Sam had a construction company and most of the older pack members worked there. Even Leah. So they all knew what they were doing plus with our speed and agility then we should get it done within a month.
"What have you got there Belle?" Peter asked.
"Are you okay Belle?" Char asked.
"Blue prints," I murmured. "I'll be back later," I said absentmindedly and walked out the door.
I know I wasn't being very social with the others but I needed time to think and they were smothering me with all their 'are you okays?' and 'what can I do's?' I ran to La Push after making sure no one was following me. I ran to Sam's and knocked on his door. It was 10pm so I hope I wasn't disturbing anything. Emily opened the door and greeted me with a hug.
"I heard what happened, I'm so sorry," Emily whispered. I hugged her back as tight as I could without hurting her.
"Thank you Emily, is Sam here?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, come on in," She gave me a watery smile then led me to the kitchen where most of the pack members were even the imprints, Charlie and Elders were here. Only Seth, Colin and Brady were missing. They were probably patrolling.
"Hey Belle, what you got there Loca?" Jake asked curiously, eyeing the blue prints in my hands.
"Plans for the safe house," I replied.
"Let's see then," Billy urged. I gave him a small smile.
I placed the plans down on the table and unrolled them slowly. I heard several gasps. The pack all had grins on their faces. Billy and Quil gave me thumbs up. Charlie was studying them in awe.
"Wow Bells this is amazing," Charlie said.
"I decided we needed all the protection we could get so I'm thinking heavy metal shutters on the windows and doors in case we need a lock down. A basement with supplies for weeks, plus the walls will be solid iron with no windows. We shall install vents that will be masked. We will have an armory and several hidden compartments to hide weapons in. I don't know why but I feel like we have a shit storm coming for us," I whispered.
"This is brilliant," Quil murmured.
"I've even put a ramp on the doors and also there will be a room downstairs for Billy," I smiled.
"Thanks Bells," Billy said.
"Isabelle, we heard what happened to your daughter, we're so sorry, in a few days we will hold a ceremony in her memory," Old Quil said softly while placing a hand on my shoulder, I gave him a watery smile. I was touched they would do a ceremony for my Chelsea.
"No problem. The supplies have all been ordered and shall be here within the next few days. We just need to find a place to build. I figured to do a stone house because wood would be easy to burn down if they ever found it, the supplies are being delivered to mine." I explained. Everyone nodded. "I have to make a quick phone call," I smiled then grabbed my cell phone. I gasped as I got dragged into a vision.
(Vision)
My twin brother was in a coffin, he was wrapped up in chains that were almost impenetrable in his dessicated state. His eyes were open and he looked desperate and alone. Slowly the scene started to change and I saw a sign for Huancayo, Peru.
(End Vision)
I gasped and clutched onto the edge of the table, breathing heavily. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and jumped. I looked up to see everyone staring at me in concern.
"I have to go," I said as I grabbed my bag I had brought with me. I was thankful I had left my credit card and passport in it.
"Isabelle whats the matter?" Sam asked me.
"I have to go to Peru, can you hold the fort for a few days?" I asked Sam.
"Peru?" He asked.
"No time to explain, I have to go, don't tell the other's where I've gone, I'll do the protection spells as soon as I get back. Try to find a location asap get Charlie to help with finding somewhere no one will cause upset about and as soon as the supplies start coming in, start building," I said then blurred out of the room.
I ran all the way to Seattle airport and compelled my way onto the next flight which left in an hour. I didn't like using compulsion on humans but I had to. I needed to save my brother. I had so many questions swirling around my head. Why was he dessicated? Where were my siblings? Why didn't I find out sooner?
I snuck into a bathroom stall and said the incantation that would bring my grymwar to me. After it appeared I sat back at the gate waiting for my flight. I looked through the book to find the spell I'd need to wake my brother from his dessicated state. I found it and memorised it. A few minutes later the boarding call for Peru.
20 hours later I arrived in Cuzco, Peru and it was only 4am so I could quickly make it to Huancayo within a few hours if I run full out but first I needed to sneak into a hospital and get several blood bags, after I got them I started running full speed which humans wouldn't be able to see. As I ran I thought about what my brother had done to get himself dessicated. He must of pissed off a few witches in his time. I would find out what happened when I got him out of here.
When I got to Huancayo I used my nose until I could smell my brother faintly, I got on my knees and started to digging with my hands, not caring if I got dirty or not. My nails got dirt caked under them and I grimaced. That was going to be a bitch to clean. My brother owes me huge. I soon hit something solid and breathed a sigh of relief. I grabbed one end of the coffin and dragged it up to ground level and ripped the roof off.
I gasped in horror at the state of my twin brother. His eyes opened and they were looking at me with such desperation. His skin was ashen and the veins in his body were prominent. I've never seen him look so vulnerable before. I was going to make whoever did this pay. One thing to mess with me but if you mess with my family, especially my siblings you wanna watch your back.
"I'm going to get you out of here," I whispered then stroked his hair in a soothing manner.
I grabbed the blood bags and placed them beside me and I ripped the chains from his body with ease. I saw him blink at me and I smiled slightly. I grabbed my grymwar and opened it to the page I needed it. I placed my hands on my twin's chest and started to speak.
"Let this heart beat again,
Let the blood pump through their veins once more,
Let their body come alive,
Remove this person from their desiccated state,"
My brother gasped and sat up, he tried to stand up but he wasn't strong enough, I grabbed a blood bag and gave it to him, he drained it within seconds so I handed him the others. I took a good look at him and smiled. He looked so much better now, his eyes sparkled with life and his sandy blonde hair shined in the dawn light. I quickly put on my spare Lapis Lazuli ring on his finger.
"I know it's slightly feminine but it's all I have on me," I whispered.
"Thank you sister," His voice rasped from not being used.
Once the other blood bags had been drained he stood up looking a lot better than he did before. I stood up also and smiled at him.
"Isabelle," he said as he hugged me tightly.
"Klaus," I breathed then burst into tears in my brother's arms.
