Hello, I've finally got a new chapter for you guys.. Thank you for being patient.. Sorry its not as long as it could be.. I'll update again soon I promise! ox
I stopped as Sam turned, facing me, his expression was happy, I could see that he was over the moon to see his fiancée not bearing the scars of his anger anymore, the guilt he felt every time he saw Emily would hopefully go away with time. It wouldn't completely go away because he had hurt his mate and he would never go away but it would fade. I gave him a small smile and began.
"As you know my brother Klaus has come into the area recently," I started, looking at Sam, he nodded. "Well he is a hybrid like me and his werewolf side has only been recently release, he had a curse placed on him by our mother, and I was wondering if he would be able to do what I do, change at will and become part of the pack," I finished, holding my breath as I waited for a response.
Sam looked deep in thought for a few minutes but seemed like hours, my mind started kicking into overdrive, worrying that he would automatically turn my brother down without hearing him out. I knew Sam was a fair Alpha but if one person in the pack didn't want him, then he wouldn't be allowed in. A few moments later, Sam replied.
"I'm going to have to talk to Klaus and then after that, I'm going to have to call a pack meeting, you know the rules Belle," Sam answered, I let out a breath of relief.
Sam was willing to give him a chance and hear him out, I just hoped that Klaus would behave himself and prove he could be a asset to the pack, I know when my brother is questioned too much he becomes snarky and sarcastic, sometimes doing insane things to prove a point.
"Thanks Sam, give me a ring when you want to meet up with him, I have to go spend some time with Charlie, I've been neglecting my daughter duties," I said with a smile.
"Okay well I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded in response.
With a final nod from Sam, I turned and ran into the forest, heading towards Forks, if I knew Charlie as well as I did then I knew he wouldn't have anything edible except potato chips and maybe a few twinkies, it's a good thing that I always kept some cash in my back pocket for emergencies like this.
I ran all the way to Forks local grocery store, already knowing what I wanted to cook, steak with baked potatoes, baked beans and a small side salad. I may not need to eat healthily, or even eat at all, but Charlie was in his 40's now and needed some salad, especially with all the crap he eats. I walked in to the store and grabbed the bits I needed, noticing I didn't have long till Charlie would come home. I ran again until I got to Charlie's back door. Even though he was a cop, he sure didn't lick locking up his house, his back door was always open.
I sighed and shook my head, opening the back door and stepping in, my nose was assaulted by the familiar scents of Charlie's home, cheap beer, Charlie and a few other scents. I smiled as memories rushed back to me, Charlie and I watching a football game with Billy and Jacob laughing at some joke Charlie was trying to tell.
I walked into the kitchen, placing my bags onto the counter as I quickly cleaned up at vampire speed, within 10 minutes everything was sparkling clean. Within 20 minutes, the steaks had been marinated, flash fried and in the oven, the potatoes partly cooked and ready to bake and the salad prepared. I heard Charlie's cruiser pull up in the driveway as I placed the potatoes in the oven. I stood up and walked to the front door, opening it as Charlie clomped up the front steps.
A look of surprise crossed over his face as his front door swung open till he saw me standing beside it, he left out a relieved sigh and pulled me in for a hug as he crossed the threshold, I smiled and hugged him back as tight as I could without causing him discomfort.
"Missed you kiddo," Charlie confessed gruffly and once again, tears filled my eyes as I thought over how much I had abandoned my family and friends lately, I loved them but I had let my own problems come before my family and that was unacceptable. From now on, family first then my personal drama second.
"Missed you too Charlie," I whispered back, we continued the hug for a few more moments before releasing each other and smiling, I closed the door as he walked further into the house, stripping out of his police coat and taking off his gun belt. He had two guns, one I knew had normal lead bullets in, the other had wooden bullets in after I persuaded him too.
I needed peace of mind that he would be fine when I wasn't around, he was the last of the Swan line on his side but I knew him and Sue were getting closer since Harry died. I knew they were middle aged but something told me, Seth wouldn't be Sue's last child on this Earth. I know Charlie had been married to Renee years ago but personally I couldn't stand her, she had played Charlie like a game, not making up her mind on what she wanted.
I was relieved when she finally decided to fuck off to Arizona and married a younger guy, honestly my children were better behaved and more mature than her at the age of 6 months. I know it was unfair of me to make Charlie keep in contact with his ex wife till a few months ago when Edward forced me to go see the woman I had to grit and bare my teeth with for 3 years. I had compelled multiple people into believing I was her and Charlie's child from their sham marriage.
I was so relieved when I compelled Renee to forget ever setting eyes on me and forget about Charlie and her mind games with him, I knew it only caused him more unnecessary pain because he still had loved her.
Shaking myself from my thoughts I saw Charlie disappear into the bathroom to wash his hands as I went and checked on the food which seemed to be almost done. Charlie came into the kitchen and set about preparing the table as I gathered the plates and set them out on the counter so I could put the food on the plates straight away, I grabbed the salad bowl and placed it in the centre of Charlie's small kitchen table.
After we had eaten our fill and tidied up, we went and sat in the living room and I knew I needed to talk to Charlie about something, he went to turn on the TV but I cleared my throat and bit my lower lip nervously, hoping he'd agree to my suggestion. Charlie glanced at me before raising an eyebrow at me.
"Charlie, I need to talk to you about something," I started to say, then paused uncertainly.
"What is it Bells?" He asked seriously, turning in his chair slightly so he could see me better.
"Well I just was hoping that when the house we're building is finally built with all utilities and such up and running that you'd move in there pretty much as soon as we can get you in there," I said, watching as he stilled slightly, knowing the suggestion was running through his brain at a rapid pace.
"But what about my work?" Charlie asked eventually.
"I'm sure you could continue but you may need someone with you, maybe one of my siblings and one of the wolves or one of the cold ones, haven't quite figured that out yet," I asked
"Are you sure this will be necessary?" He asked, worry evident in his tone, I know he was worrying about his friends and family, also for the safety of the residents of Forks.
"Yes," I nodded gravely, his face fell, "Charlie, I'm not going to lie to you, these next few months or years are going to be difficult, there's going to be losses on both sides, I don't know what's coming but its got to be bad because I'm afraid," I gave him a smile which held no humour as my words sunk in, he paled slightly.
"Okay Bells, if you're sure," he said with a nod.
"Well as soon as the house is up and everything's ready, you Sue, Billy and the Council are moving in and then the wolves close family and then the imprints and wolves themselves. I know we said it would be for emergencies only but I want everyone in one place, easier to keep an eye out and protect those we love," I said with a sigh, running my hands through my hair.
"Are you okay Bells?" Charlie asked with a furrowed brow.
"Not really but then again I don't have the luxury of dealing with personal drama," I said with a smile that even I know seemed sad, Charlie reached over and placed a hand on my forearm in a comforting manner.
"I'm here if you need to talk," he said with a serious tone, I smiled gratefully.
"You just keep an eye out for any strange people or vehicles around town, get your deputies to do the same, I need to call my people in Italy and Cardiff and get the armies together, I have a spidey sense that we're gonna need it," I said with a sad sigh, hoping that no people from our side would get killed but there was a very good possibility there would be numerous, I just hoped it was no one I cared deeply about, my family were the last people I wanted to see hurt.
Charlie gave a nod to show he would do as I asked and he then cleared his throat when I didn't say anything else, turning back towards the TV and switching it on to a random ball game, I can't say what happened because I have no idea, I was too busy making war strategies in my head to be worried about which team was winning, Charlie seemed to be deep in thought, eyes glazed over as his eyes remained on the screen, he was probably thinking how best to defend the townspeople from the monsters that were sure to come and could arrive at any moment.
I stayed until the game had finished before saying goodnight to Charlie, he had to go to bed soon, I doubted he would sleep very well tonight, tonight I wouldn't get the luxury of sleeping, tonight I would be torturing a demon whore until I got what I wanted and I wouldn't stop until I was satisfied, the bitch owed me enough to at least scream so the nearest neighbour 10 miles away could hear her.
I ran back to the house at vampire speed, when I entered the living room, everyone except Stefan, Damon and Rebekah were there. Stefan was probably trying to find his mate, it was hard to watch the pain that haunted his eyes, I knew he felt guilty for not realising it was Katherine sooner but she had most of us deceived.
I caught Klaus' eye and made a motion for him to meet me out in the hallway, a few seconds later, he emerged with confusion in his eyes.
"What is it little sister?" He asked.
"I spoke to Sam today," I said and a glint of hope sparked in his eyes.
"What did he say?" He asked.
"That you have to go see him tomorrow, he will ask you a few questions which you must answer honestly and don't be your usually cocky self, this is a chance for you to fit in with the others, have people that will fight till the death for your protection that aren't your actual family," I pointed out his biggest desire, he nodded with acceptance.
"Klaus, please don't upset him, please, for me," I pleaded, he sighed in defeat and nodded.
"Thank you brother, now I need to go grab a few volunteers," I said with a smirk as I walked back into the living room, Klaus on my heels.
"Alright then, Jasper, Peter, Klaus and Kol, with me, I'm going to need you down in the basement," I ordered, with a tone that suggested no arguments. Jasper and Peter looked confused but my brothers now knew what it was time for, Kol and Klaus were known for their cruelty and torture methods whereas Peter and Jasper had training in how to handle torture during the Southern Wars.
"What do you mean? What are you doing?" Rosalie asked confused.
"Going to get answers from a certain person tied up in the basement," I said with a cruel smile on her lips, Jane was about to stand up but I shook my head, I wanted Jane nowhere near the whore in the basement. I grabbed one of my satchels from my wardrobe and went around the house collecting things that would come in useful downstairs to make our guest speak.
Five minutes later me and the other four were heading into the basement, as we came to the door of the basement, my heart broke at the scene before me. Damon was curled up in front of the door in the foetal position, sleeping with a peaceful look on his face. Tears welled in my eyes and I cleared my throat when I felt a lump forming, Damon continued sleeping as I unlocked the magical barrier before allowing the others to go in, closing the door behind us and locking it up magically behind us.
Katherine was tied to a pole in the centre of the room with a stake through her stomach which actually went into the wood of the pole, holding her in place, she looked weak at the loss of blood and I was surprised Stefan had bound her so, he must really hate the bitch now.. That's good to hear. I quickly cast a soundproofing spell so I didn't upset any of the others upstairs.
Her eyes fluttered open weakly and a growl rumbled in her chest when she spotted me, I simply smiled at the bitch, not showing the hatred I had for her in my heart.
"Well Katherine, I am going to ask you nicely, why are you here?" I asked politely. She just ignored me, clearly not intent on saying fuck all right now. I'm pretty sure I could change that with the help of my friends.
-WARNING! Mild Torture! If you don't want to read this kind of thing, skip this part, I'll let you know when its finished!-
I walked up to Katherine, my body buzzing with anger as I ripped her shirt in half, leaving her bra intact, not caring about her modesty, no one in this room lusted after her. I pulled out one of the butchers knives from the kitchen, roughly slicing across her chest, she snarled out with pain, her fangs elongating as her veins popping out, making her eyes look black, I just grinned. If this was her reaction to a small cut then it really wouldn't take much for her to crack like an egg.
"Well seeing as you have vervain in your system there's no way of me compelling you, unless of course I bleed it out of you," I said, a sadistic smile tugging at the corner of my lips.
At these words Katherine started struggling against her binds weakly, crying out as the stake wedged in her stomach bit into the sides of her wound as she moved. She knew she was trapped and hated it. She was so good at trapping others but she didn't like to be trapped herself. Funny thing, that.
I stepped closer to her, raking the blade of the knife raggedly against the flesh of her stomach, just above where the stake was stuck and when I reached the lower ribs of her right side, I plunged the knife in deep before twisting it, causing Katherine to scream out as several of her ribs broke due to the force of my attack. I couldn't help the smile that stayed on my face as I watched her features contort into that of pain.
"So Katherine, ready to talk yet?" I asked nicely. She glared at me weakly.
"Never," She swore, I chuckled internally when she said that, I would make her talk, one way or another. I backhanded her, smiling when I saw her head snap back with the force of the blow. She spat out blood.
"Jasper," I called out to him, turning my head to see that the Major was out to play, I smiled. "Major," I corrected.
"Isabelle," He said, looking at me with a cold, hard gaze.
"In my bag, you'll find quite a few plants with flowers on it, could you get it for me?" I asked sweetly, "Peter, could you fetch water in the numerous buckets around the room please?" I asked.
They both complied to my wishes, even though vervain in water or another watered down substance didn't bother me but Vervain in its pure flower form irritated my skin and I didn't need any distractions right now.
"Put a plant in each of the bucket, using your hands and mix it around then leave for a few moments, then remove the plants and place them on the table." I commanded.
I placed a table beside where Katherine was trapped, laid my knife down before digging out several other objects out of my bag, a piece of rag, a fire poker, a few stakes and more knives of different shapes and sizes. My brothers came to stand beside me, making themselves known and Katherine began to tremble as Kol picked up a knife, running his finger over the blade before plunging it into Katherine diaphragm. She screamed out with pleasure as Kol pulled the knife out and repeated his action, this time moving slightly to the left. Before stepping back to let Klaus have a go with his chosen object.
Klaus picked up the hot poker then looked towards me expectantly, I said the usual incantation under my breath and the end of the poker started glowing white hot, my brothers eyes held excitement as he stalked over towards Katherine, the poker never losing its heat as he placed it against Katherine's left shoulder, she cried out with pain as it touched her skin, the smell of burning skin reached our noses as the skin started blistering and turned a looking nasty black colour as he slowly pushed the hot poker farther into Katherine's shoulder, you could hear it sizzling as she screamed. He stopped when he reached the bone, before applying more pressure and everyone in the room could hear the bone crunch as the poker drove through it, shattering it. Her scream resounded through the air as she panted heavily, sweat beads appearing on her forehead as her eyes became wild with pain and thirst and she struggled feebly against her bindings, I couldn't help but let out a small giggle.
After all, I had been waiting centuries for this to happen, she had caused pain to my mate, his family and my family. Especially Elijah and Klaus, she had let Klaus down by turning into a vampire, preventing him from breaking the werewolf curse.
"I'm going to ask again Katerina," I stated, using her full name, "Why are you here?" She mumbled something that was incoherent.
"What was that Katerina? I need you to speak up," I said sternly.
"To gain information," She mumbled weakly, just loud enough for me to hear, I frowned.
"Information on what exactly?" I narrowed my eyes at her but she remained silent.
Jasper and Peter had done their jobs so I grabbed my knife from the table, placing the blade in the water before running it over her cheekbone, she screamed out at the pain of the cut and the vervain caused steam to come from her face, the cut wouldn't heal for a while, then I growled when she stayed silent, plunging the knife into her ribs again, twisting the knife, this time she screamed and told me what I wanted to know.
"To gain information on the vampires and wolves here and the lay of the land," she cried out, as if it could save her.
This piqued my interest and went to ask her more questions but she wouldn't answer me properly so the torture continued.
-End of Mild Torture-
Hours had passed, everyone in the room had used their own brand of torture on Katherine and she looked rather pathetic, stakes protruding from her legs and ribs, inches from her heart, these stakes had been soaked in vervain and preventing her from healing, she had multiple cuts and bruises from where she had been beating and her entire body looked burned when I had my lost my temper and thrown an entire bucket of vervain at her. It had worked and we learned more info.
The amount of info we had found out had been shocking, it turns out that Katerina was working in league with the Cullen's, the Romanians and a very powerful witch. They had different goals in what they wanted, the Cullen's and the Romanians wanted to destroy the Volturi and take back what they thought was rightfully theirs. The Vampire Kingdom. The witch and Katerina seemed to want to wipe out the entire Original vampire race. They were going to do it with a race of supervamps, half Original and half cold ones. This had frightened me as I imagined the power they would have, they wouldn't be strong as the Original family but they would be stronger than most Originals and most Cold ones. Everyone was going to need combat training ASAFP and the house was going to be needed up and ready like yesterday.
We had found out that Elena was being held hostage in a cabin in the woods nearby that was being hidden by a spell cast by the witch and that she would never find her, Belle just smiled and nodded as she figured out the distance of the nearest cabin which was a hunting cabin, not 5 miles from here. It was worrying the witch had been in such proximity of her and that she hadn't sensed it.7
When she questioned Katerina about Damon's behaviour lately she smugly announced that she had the witch place a spell on Damon, forging a fake, strong mating bond which eclipsed hers with Damon, she could never have done it if the bond wasn't strong anyway, which is why she showed up, not knowing it was me until the seeds of doubt in my mind had been planted. At this point I was ready to end her but Klaus held me back, kicking and screaming from the bitch in front of me.
After the torture had ended, everyone was breathing heavily, my fangs had been out for a while and so had Klaus' and Kols' when they heard of what was being planned, we managed to find out that Katherine had no idea who this witch was out, we could detect a lie from even the world's best liar and she was telling the absolute truth so I took a stake from her leg, pulling it out roughly.
"Goodbye Katherine, see you in hell," I snarled before plunging the stake deep into her chest, grinning sadistically when it bit into her heart, her body crumbling into dust as her immortal life ended, the look of surprise and fear in her eyes as she realised what had happened would make me smile for an eternity. I collected up her remains, placed them in five separate containers, I handed one to Klaus, one to Kol, one to Jasper and the other to Peter.
"Spread these in the four corners of Forks, making sure none of the dust settles in the same place," I ground out, angry and taking it out on those closest, they nodded.
"As soon as you get back, Kol, Stefan and I will go find Elena," I decided before unlocking the magical barrier, hiding the fifth container in my bag, ready to hide it later.
I sighed, bracing myself for what I was about to see outside the door, I grabbed the door handle and opened it, frowning when I saw my mate looking up at me with a mixture of confusion, pain and love. His eyes had their usual spark back to them and I sucked in a sharp breath as I realised the mating bond was back as strong as ever, knocking breath out of my lungs.
"Bell," Damon started, reaching out to me.
The spell had been broken.
So guys.. What did you think, did you like it or was it not what you wanted? Let me know ox
