Chapter 58: What Do We Do Now?
Heaving a sigh of relief is a complete and utter understatement as I saw the final piece of Victoria's body being thrown into the fire. It sizzles and hissed like it was having the last word and I for one was having none of it. Paul stood beside the others, watching and waiting patiently for my next move. Retribution had been ours. We as a pack, as a family had been judge, jury and finally executioner to Victoria's demise. She was no more, it was I who gripped her head in my hand, her eyes shining in silent pain as I smirked at her, I would be the one to end her, it had ended with the choice of her or me, and as I was the one still standing with all my body intact, I threw her head in the fire with a see you later bitch. She was no more, there was no more threats to me or my family. We had fought the war and won. The newborns had all been eradicated, burned and sat as piles of ashes all over the meadow. No doubt, the wind would blow them away, I felt some pity for the souls of those who had fallen, their existence had ended the day that Victoria had turned them, but now hopefully, if there was an afterlife, I hoped that each of them had found peace of some sort. Riley and bree stood together in the sidelines, they were outsiders in my eyes but they had fought alongside our comrades so they would receive my gratitude shortly. They were so young, Riley had been seventeen, Bree younger at sixteen, at least they had each other which was a good thing. They could move forward together, have a future together of some sorts. But they would be warned that if they stepped on Quileute lands again, they would be dealt with accordingly. Once the bitch from hells head had finished burning, the fire started to die down and I walked over to the young vampire couple who stared at me with their blood red eye's.
"Thankyou for helping the pack in the fight, I really do appreciate it, and also for keeping garret and Alistair up to date with Victoria's movement's!" I said looking at them with gratitude.
"We were glad to help, and we are glad that Victoria is no more, she hurt to many people!" Said Riley sadly.
"I hope you can have a happy life now Bella Swan!" Said the tiny leech called Bree.
"You and I both!" I said to her with a small smile.
"We will leave you now, there's a few countries we would like to travel to!" Stated Riley.
"Yeah, have a good life all of you!" Smiled bree, then they both disappeared into the trees.
I turned to face my family, my pack, my protectors. Each wolf held their imprint close to them, love radiating off each and every one of them. My dad held me close before passing me to Paul. I still needed some answers as to how I had blinded Victoria, were my powers growing, the only person who could answer was Jariah and she was back in the reservation with Billy. We all made our way back down the mountain, away from the cabin, with the supplies I had thought we'd needed but didn't, at least there would be a feast tonight. The boys all phased, Paul carried me back down as did the other's with their imprints. Charlie chose to travel by truck, stating that although they could hold his weight,travelling by wolf was most definitely not in his top ten list of things to do. I laughed as he said this to me, his face had gone chalk white as Paul suggested it. My dad was not such a hardman after all. As I watched Paul go away then return in wolf form, I sighed in happiness. I straddled him holding on tight to the fur on his neck, we made our way down to the reservation at a slow pace.
"Thanks for fighting for me Paul, I feel silly talking to you like this but I know that you can understand me, thanks fir everything and for coming back to me in one piece!" I said whispering in his ear.
The big silver wolf that was Paul growled in appreciation at my praising him.
As we reached the reservation, Paul lowered himself and I slid off his back onto the ground and onto my feet. He trotted beside me as we made our way to billy`s house. He was on the front with jariah at his side, both of them smiling at seeing us all return together as one big pack. Nobody had been really hurt, Quill had a few bad scratches that would scar, Leah was the same but they were the worst off. The rest had bruises here and there but we escaped unscathed. I sent a glare to jariah, letting her know that we would be having word's shortly and she had better be ready fir my questions. That light had come from inside me, how I managed to do it was one of the questions I needed answers to. Every one went into billy`s except jariah and I. We stayed together on the porch step, waiting for the other to speak.
"So what was the deal with the freaky disappearing act you pulled up there? My dad thought I was going crazy, I'm not impressed by the way!" I glared at her, breaking the silence.
"Nobody was asking you to be impressed young one!" Said Jariah smiling at me.
"Well, how the hell did you do it?" I asked her.
"Its called the spirit movement!" She Said smirking again.
"And I'm supposed to know what this is?" I asked her outright.
"No,you aren't, it's when you will your body to another plane of existence!" Explained jariah smiling brightly at me.
"So, what your telling me is that you can be in two places at once, that it?" I said finally understanding.
"Yeah, but it takes years to gain that kind of inner power!" She Said matter of factly to me.
"Ok, well that's nice to know, but can you now explain to me what the hell that blinding light was that came out of my hand, it was freaky as fuck!" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"What was happening before you experienced this!?" Asked Jariah looking intently.
"Seth had been hurt, I was being held by the throat by Victoria, I was scared!" I said explaining to her.
"Inner light!" Said Jariah smiling and nodding her head in understanding.
"Inner what now?" I asked.
"Inner light, you drew it from your fear and anger, I dare say seeing Seth hurt triggered it, that is what it needs to manifest within you!" Said Jariah.
"Will it happen again?" I asked curiously.
"Only when you or somebody close to you are under threat young one, it's a good thing to have I think!"Said jariah smiling at me happily.
"Can you train me to control it, to will it to come whenever?" I asked her seriously.
"Yes young one, I would be happy to train you, it would be a great honour!" Said Jariah smiling brightly again.
"Good, now I have to go in and deal with that lot, no doubt they will be hungry!?" I said smiling to her.
Jariah just nodded at me.
"And Jariah, thankyou for your help!" I said softly to her.
She just smiled again.
I was right, as I walked back into billy`s house, the whole pack was fighting for space in the small kitchen, some searching cupboards, other's raiding the fridge. I just shook my head as Billy sat in his chair as my dad sat on the sofa. Billy`s head was in his hands, clearly stressed at the commotion coming from the huge boys in his kitchen. Enough was enough.
"Right you lot, stop it, NOW!" I shouted loudly so they all heard me.
"Aw c'mon Bella, we are starving here!" Said Quil
"Yeah bell`s, it's chow time!" Grumbled Jake.
Garret and Alistair stood by the window watching the affray with amusement.
"Bonfire, NOW!" I said ordering them out of billy`s house.
Everyone smiled at this. Imprints as well, they didn't know what to do with themselves, they looked to me for guidance and I was just another imprint like them and one of the youngest to boot. What was the deal with them all looking to me for advice.
"Your the wolf mama, little phoenix!" Said Paul, putting his arm's around me as if he read my mind.
I suppose I was going to have to step up and accept this fact.
"Ok, boys, grab tables, chairs whatever you can and get set up on the beach, we will be down in half an hour!" I said smiling away at them.
They grabbed everything they could, taking billy`s table and chairs from the living room, spare chairs from the garage. The girl's and I set about sorting out the food from the rucksacks and made more food from what we could from the contents of the raided fridge. Plates were piled high with assorted sandwiches, burgers were going to made on the barbeque alongside hotdogs, there were bowls of pasta salad, potato salad. Chips n dips, enough to feed an army would be the right description of it. Once organised, we all headed out to meet the boy's, who had set up on the beach as ordered. Their eyes popping open wide as they saw the amount of food that we brought, they were drooling like the wolves they were. It was funny. Alistair and Garret had been helping them again. I was sad as I knew what would be happening later.
The night was amazing as Sam told us all how Jared and Paul saved his ass from being crushed from a leech, all of them praising Alistair and Garret. Saying they took out more newborns than the wolves themselves had. We all laughed, there were even some tears from the imprints, Hannah especially when she heard about Sam almost being crushed. Paul held me most if the night, he was closer than usual. The others were acting similarly. Seth had told me on no less than five occasions that I smelled really really sweet, almost like honey. I thought nothing of it at that time. Watching Alistair and Garret closely, I knew it was time. I prised myself away from Paul, watching me as I moved away from them. He nodded because he knew what I had to do now. At first these leeches had scared me, but they had turned out to be part of my family and they would always be welcome regardless of them being leeches. They had promised to leave as soon as their business was over, it was now, they weren't needed any more.
"Your leaving aren't you?" I asked them once I was close to them.
"Yes miss swan, our services are no longer required so to speak and if you remember on our first meeting, we did inform you that we had business elsewhere now, there are certain leeches that need to be dealt with!" Said Alistair gently.
"I'm really going to miss you guy's, I never thought I would say that to a leech!" I said laughing, with a tear in my eye.
"As shall we miss swan!" Said Alistair gently trying to make it funnier.
"Should you need us again, for anything, and I mean anything young lady, do not hesitate to call!" Said Garret smirking at me, handing me a business card.
"Ally and Gar, you've become part of my family, I don't want you to go!" I said tearfully now.
Paul had come over to me and hugged me. He shook hands with both Alistair and Garret, which turned into this manhug thing. I smiled as they did this, none of them wanted to be known as pansy ass pussies, they were saying their goodbyes in their own way.
"Look after this incredible young lady Paul or I will be back to deal with you!" Said Garret bowing slightly.
"Yes, she is incredible and I will look after her, after seeing you fight today, the last thing I need is you two chomping on my tail!" Said Paul softly.
They made a turn to leave, I couldn't let them go yet without a hug.
"Wait, please!" I shouted, they turned and I threw myself at them, they caught me easily.
"Thankyou for everything, and deal with you know who for me, no holds barred!" I said to them.
"Goodbye Miss Swan!" They said in unison, and they disappeared into the shadows to attend to their other business elsewhere.
Turning to Paul, I didn't know what else to say except...
"What Do We Do Now?"
