Camelot Chapter 50: Realization and bloodsuckers, a twilight fanfic

A/N: PLEASE READ AUTHORS NOTE, I NEED FEEDBACK

"This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.
I love you, T."
― Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

You're a troublemaker
You're a troublemaker...
You ain't nothing but a troublemaker girl

You had me hooked again from the minute you sat down
The way you bite your lip
Got my head spinnin' around
After a drink or two
I was putty in your hands
I don't know if I have the strength to stand

Oh oh oh...
Trouble troublemaker. yeah
That's your middlename
Oh oh oh...
I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain
And I wanna know

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker!

It's like you're always there in the corners of my mind
I see a silhouette every time I close my eyes
There must be poison in those finger tips of yours
Cause I keep comin' back again for more

Oh oh oh...
Trouble troublemaker, yeah
That's your middlename
Oh oh oh...
I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain
And I wanna know

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker

Maybe I'm insane
Cause I keep doing the same damn thing
Thinking one day we gon' change
But you know just how to work that back
And make me forget my name
What the hell you do I won't remember
I'll be gone until November
And you'll show up again next summer, yeah!
Typical middle name is Prada
Fit you like a glove girl
I'm sick of the drama
You're a troublemaker
But damn girl it's like I love the trouble
And I can't even explain why

Alice had left.

Or that's what they tell me.

Everyone's sort of freaking the fuck out.

I sighed as I folded my clothes, putting them in my drawers as I glanced over to where Jacob was asleep – his whole body curled up in the white duvet. I ran a hand through my hair as I left the room, going down the stairs to hear the Denali's talking with Bella and Edward. I had remembered them from the wedding, yet when I had been introduced to them again I couldn't be struck by how utterly beautiful they were.

Safe to say, my self-esteem all but destroyed itself.

I didn't know there was anything left of it.

Well, it's all been destroyed now.

"Anna," Bella said with a small, yet tired smile which was foreign to see on her.

I nodded. "Jakes finally asleep – what about Ness?"

Bella sighed. "She's with Collin."

My heart instantly broke slightly for the man who had only just found his soul mate, and I glanced over to the other room where I could hear the sound of Collin talking to Nessie. I sat down on the couch, where one of the leaders of the coven – I think his name was Eleazar – smile to me, showing me his full set of white teeth. "Ah, another shield."

"Pardon?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowing.

Was this guy insulting me?

Was this what vampires called 'dumb ho?'.

Bella cocked a brow. "Really? She's, as well?"

"Hmmm," He hummed, capturing his hand in mine and his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he nodded. "Stronger than Bellas, it seems, she- yours can expand and affect others gifts. It'll become better when your turned."

Turned?

Wait, what?

Was this some sort of mating ritual?

Bella smiled. "She's not going to be turned."

"No?" He asked.

I cocked a brow. "What, into a vampire?"

He nodded, and I snorted. "No, I'm already weird enough, I don't need to be a blood sucking leech to make me even more stranger."

He smiled. "Pity, you'd make a beautiful immortal. However, I would strongly suggest you get rid of that god awful dog stench."

I smiled. "Sorry, but I think I'll have that for the rest of my life."

"She's Jacobs imprint," Bella explained to him. "As Renesmee is Collins."

Eleazar seemingly moved away from ne slightly, and I smiled in response before looking back up to Bella. "Has anyone else come?"

"Peter and Charlotte," Bella stated as she sat in the armchair. "Alice sent them."

I bit my lip. "Do they have red eyes?"

"Yes," She murmured. "But they have promised not to hunt in the area."

I scoffed. "Great, more bloodsucking vampires. You know, I'm beginning to think this is some sort of horror movie convention."

A ghost of a smile came over Bella's lips, and she glanced over to the other room. "I should probably put Renesmee to bed."

"Leave them," I said, stopping her. "Collins devastated, Bells."

She narrowed her eyes. "We're all devastated, not just him!"

"Bells," I warned, pursing my lips. "Give them some time together."

She reluctantly nodded, and Edward wrapped an arm around her. "Anna's right, love."

"What?" I asked, cocking a brow. "Did- did you just admit I was right?"

A smile flickered onto his sombre face. "It's known to happen."

In a matter of days, the whole house began to become crowded with vampires. Jake was anxious, and every moment that we were around them he was by my side – his whole body almost glued to me protectively. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, even when it was only just to go to the bathroom he would wait outside until he was finished.

I had to admit that even I was slightly freaked out by some of them. They were all so incredibly, well, vampirish that it made me nervous whenever I was in the vicinity of them. I felt safer around the Denali's, at least, which allowed me to retain some comfort whenever I was around the rest of them. However Jake, Seth, Collin and Leah – if Seth and Leah came into the house – were all the same; they all looked as if they had something shoved up there ass.

Jake was having trouble with it all, having to accept that although he had changed into a Wolf to protect human life, the vampires were hunting innocents a few miles away. I had tried to explain it in a way which would infuriate him, yet he was still having trouble with letting innocent people – who had mothers and those who loved them – die because of the need to clear Nessies name.

Jake had basically not allowed me to stay at the house while they were there, which I had agreed to knowing that I really didn't want to be there – especially with the creeps that had come. Dracula one and two, for instance, weren't my cup of tea and I seriously did have a sneaking suspicion that they would drain me if I slept there.

Of course, being myself, I didn't admit to Jake that I was going because I too was scared – in his opinion I was doing him a favour by moving out of the Cullen's and staying with Charlie, who was still going by his 'need to know' mantra. Bella had brought Nessie over a lot to Charlies, considering I knew she wasn't comfortable at the prospect of Nessie being along with people she didn't trust.

It was funny to watch Charlie with Nessie, who I knew that he knew was his Granddaughter. Of course, every time Ness came Collin accompanied him – which basically meant all of the wolves came over and demanded a meal, which Sue would happily oblige to while I would just sit there, squashed and trying to hear over everyone who was shouting.

I went over to the Cullen's house every day, mainly because I knew that in the daylight I wouldn't be drained by Dracula one or two nor would Alistair, aka freaky rapist man who really needed his hair cut. Nessie was growing bigger every day, and Carlisle was still frantically trying to keep up with her growth despite the circumstances that were closing in on us.

Although Bella wouldn't admit it, I knew she was calculating ways that she could send Nessie away. I wasn't an idiot, nor was anyone else, yet I knew that although she would sacrifice her own life for the benefit of her family, she would never sacrifice the life of her baby girl – who she had fought so hard for.

Nessie was too special for that.

That leads me to today.

Charlie, Sue, Collin, Jake and I were taking care of Nessie today at Charlies place and Bella, being as subtle as she could be around people who knew her inside and out, had said she needed to run some 'errands'. When the rest had gone inside, including Jake who I had begrudgingly told to piss off and let me talk to Bella, I sighed.

"What are you doing?" I asked, cocking a brow.

She sighed. "I have to- I have to go get Nessie's Christmas present."

"Bullshit," I called, and she seemed slightly shocked that I had sworn so bluntly. "You aren't dressed like a high class escort to go run some errands."

She pursed her lips. "I'm meeting someone."

I knew she was bullshitting.

We all knew she was bullshitting.

That's because we have a bullshit radar installed.

A what?

A bullshit radar – she's high on it at the moment.

Have I always had this?

No, I installed it after we met the vampires and werewolves.

Should I be worried?

No.

"Who?" I asked.

She looked up to me, her eyes which were covered by red contacts were almost … shining, pleading with me not to further pry. "Anna, I can't tell you."

"Is- is it Alice?" I asked, my voice low.

A smile broke onto her lips before she looked down at the floor. "No, it's someone who just needs to organise some … documents for me."

I ran a hand through my hair. "Well, you better get me a present."

She smiled slightly. "Oh, I will – I think you deserve a present for all the crap we've put you through."

"Yeah, I do," I said with a cheeky grin. "All the shit that I had to deal with, shit, it better be something really, really good."

She laughed. "Okay – I'll waste no expense."

"You better not," I said with a grin. "I'm not cheap."

She nodded, about to say something before her phone buzzed and I nodded. "I'll see you soon, yeah?"

She nodded, before pointing. "And don't you dare show Nessie the Exorcist. Again."

I smiled. "You know I'm not a kid person."

"You're just not a people person all together, Anna," She said with a smile before getting into the car.

I waved as she drove off, before making my way across the lawn as I felt the light patter of rain on my bare arms. I sighed before I opened the door to hear the TV, and I smiled as I entered the warmth. I let out a slight 'oomph' as Nessie slammed against my thighs, and I let a small smile escape me as I looked down at her. "Where are you running to!"

"Collins playing hide and seek with me!" She said with a giggle.

I smiled, before glancing up at Jake who was sitting on the stairs. "Well, c'mon, run!"

She ran off, and I went to sit beside Jake as he sighed – wrapping an arm around me as I felt his warmth heat up my entire body. I glanced up at him, my eyes roaming over his features, drinking them in slight intoxication as I realised how purely an utterly perfect he was, and how lucky I had been.

It seems like our luck was running out.

Soon, he would fight with them.

Against the Volturi.

I was scared shitless, to say the least, because he was my Jake – how could I even contemplate the prospect that he might not come back from that fight? I knew I couldn't ask him not to fight, because I knew he would not fight for me: he would do anything to make me happy however I knew that he needed to fight with his brothers.

He would feel so guilty if he didn't fight, and I really couldn't do that to him, not when I knew how guilty he had felt when he had split from the pack all because of me. I wouldn't be the source of that guilt again, and I didn't want to, no matter how much I wanted Jake to stay with me and stay alive, I couldn't ask him to do that – to leave his brothers.

I smiled as I traced his cheek with my hand, before lightly capturing his lips with my own. He moaned lightly beneath the kiss, and I realised just how much I had missed this over the past week. It had been stressful to say the least, and with everything happening – I had forgotten how amazing his kisses really were.

"What was that for?" He said against my lips, and I smiled, kissing him again.

His hands wrapped themselves around my waist, pulling me closer to him as my hands found his hair – entangling themselves within it as I pulled at it as our kiss became more, lets just say, heated. Well, what I really mean by that is that if this was a movie, we would definitely get an R rating despite the fact that it was just kissing.

His tongue had already delved into my mouth, fighting for dominance against my own and we broke apart, resurfacing for air as Charlie cleared his throat. "Urgh, Anna?"

I looked up, dazed by the euphoric kiss.

More like horny.

Oh shut up, conscience.

"Yeah?" I asked, my voice raspy as Jake buried his face in my neck, nibbling slightly at my collarbone.

He glanced at Jacob, before he looked back to me. "Urgh, I don't think Nessie, well, Bella would want Nessie, urgh- could you stop fondling?"

I flushed, a deep red which only made Charlie stutter more before he left back for Sue, and I smacked Jakes chest. "Jake, I can't believe what just happened!"

Jake smirked, looking to me. "It's not like he found us having sex, or anything."

"No, we've just found him doing that," I joked, remembering the time I had seen a very naked Sue Clearwater.

Not the best memory.

Not to say she's fat or anything.

I could tell she works out.

He smiled, grazing my lips with his again before he sighed, his warm hand coming out to cup my cheek. "I'm going to miss this."

My eyebrows furrowed. "Why? Are you going somewhere?"

Jake looked up to me, pained, and it was then I realised that truly, he might die. He might leave me, alone, to a life which now seemed unliveable without Jake being a part of it. I didn't know how I would live without Jake, without every day being able to see his smile or hear his voice which although horse at most times, reminded me of warm honey.

I didn't know how I could live without his laugh – a laugh which y itself made my toe curls in an almost orgasmic way. How could I live without the constant jokes, the stories we shared or the things we had yet to experience. For gods sakes, he hadn't even taken me out on a proper date yet, but I was now having to contemplate a life without Jake.

I couldn't' do it.

I couldn't live without Jake.

God, you sound like Bella.

It was out of my character, to be so dependent on the existence of someone else, yet it was at that moment I realised just how much I had fallen in love with Jacob William Black. He was my life; my present, my future, my everything, and I truly could not even contemplate what my life would be like without him.

I felt my whole body tense, and Jake sighed. "You know, I haven't even taken you on a proper ate yet."

I felt a small smile overcome my lips. "No. You haven't, have you?"

"I promise I will," He said, and he nodded. "I'll take you out before-before it happens."

I shook my head. "No, not before – take me out after."

"But-"

I smiled. "Take me out after, and then you might get laid."

He laughed, before his face hardened. "Are you serious?"

I winked. "I may be, Black. Your hand will be out of a job."

He barked out a laugh, before kissing me again.

"I'm going to miss this"

As Jake clutched me, I couldn't help but think over his words as they struck me as if someone had slapped me in the face. Sure, when Alice had the vision, I was worried – the Volturi were in every sense 'badasses' although I doubt Bella would have the same wording as I did.

She had told me the story of when she had first met them, and the way she spoke about them was with such fear that it made me wonder how horrible they must have been. Even Carlisle seemed scared, and I knew that they must be as bad as everyone said they were.

Yet to actually think that Jake thought he was going to die, that we only had a few miniscule weeks left, made me realise the severity of the situation. Suddenly, I didn't care if Jake felt guilt – I didn't want him to fight in that battle, I didn't want him to be loyal to his brothers or the Cullen's – I wanted him to survive.

Yet as I went to ask him to not fight, to stay with me, to protect me, I realised I couldn't do it, despite how much fear I felt over the fact that I might only have a few more weeks left with him. It's not that I was afraid of asking him, but that I physically couldn't – I didn't know whether it was because I really was to shocked to ask or whether I honestly couldn't ask that of him.

If Jake died, then that would be it.

My future would be irrevocable changed all because I hadn't asked him to be selfish for once in his life. Now, I actually began to think that maybe I would have to revert back to before I had met Jake – to what my plans had been before I had met my soulmate.

So you're gonna become a cat lady?

Yep.

Probably.

"Anna?"

My head snapped up to see Jake standing in front of me, and I offered him a tired smile before I got up – grabbing his hand as he led me into the living room and I smiled as I sat down on the couch, Nessie jumping into my lap as she grinned. "Aunty Anna, do you think that Collins could be related to Pocahontas?"

I smiled, nodding. "Yep – why?"

"I'm not related to Pocahontas, Ness," He said with a grin.

She pouted. "But it would be such a great story if you were!"

"Nah, Collins not related to Pocahontas , Ness," Jacob said with a smile. "He's related to Kujo."

I laughed, and Nessie turned to me, her eyebrows furrowing. "Who's Kujo?"

I shook my head. "It's a movie."

Her eyes widened in glee. "Oh, can we watch it?"

"No."

Heres another chapter for you all,

OVER 900 REVIEWS!

OMG!

I'm just going to say now that you guys have been so amazing, and I'm sorry to say but Camelot is coming to an end in the next ten chapters, if there is ten left. You guys have been so amazing, and I love you all for it and I'm so grateful that I have received such amazing feedback by such amazing people. Before any one asks, a Sequel is not on the cards for Anna and Jake however in the next yearish you may get a little bit of Seth and OC action that branches off of this story. But I'm not making any promises.

Also, to all those who read Schadenfreude, an update is coming within the next day - I'm incredibly sorry for the wait but I am now on a 12 week holiday so probably expect a chapter a week, I think.

ALSO! HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT GATHER YOUR BEARINGS BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT BECAUSE I AM SO EXCITED AHHA! i'M PREGNANT! Just kidding, I think after working as a waitress for the past year with kids running around like feral creatures, my uterus has shriveled up and died as a result. I may be writing my own story, called Rogue, on Fictionpress. In the next few chapters, I'll you whether or not I'm going to go through with actually putting my own work out there.

So, this is the summary - I think - maybe:

Anna Knight is an eighteen year old waitress. She is like any other girl her age – she has been screwed over too many times to remember, alcohol hasn't always been kind to her, and she has a psychotic roommate who she was sure stole money out of her purse.

But she wasn't normal.

No, Anna Knight was a Valkyrie – an ancient hunter of Aethers, a race who sucked the life out of innocent humans to survive, to make themselves more powerful. She had left that life behind to live a normal life, going against everything she had ever believed. However after being asked to return to the world she had left by someone she was trained to kill, being normal became so much harder.
