AN – ok, so I know I should be and am uber apologetic for the delay in this chapter. No excuses and no other blubbering. Here is the long awaited update, enjoy!
As always, I do not own any part of Twilight, I'm just playing with the characters.
Chapter 3 -
All heads turned as one to the driver side door as it opened after Bella's exclamation. When the driver climbed from the car, Jasper was hit with a wave of anger as his mate saw her ex-boyfriend.
Bella growled low as she tucked herself into Jasper's side. "What are you doing here?"
With a frown marring his classical features, he shut the car door. "I should be asking you the same thing, Bella. Alice never mentioned you being here."
"As this is my home, you have no right to question why I am here. I have all the right to question you as well as to kick your prude ass off my property."
"You tell him, sugar." Peter crowed from the porch.
Carlisle moved to stand next to Bella as he glared at his former son. "Answer the question, Edward. What are you doing here? Are you alone?"
"Carlisle, Esme will be so glad to know that I have found you. She has been so worried since you never responded to any of her calls or messages." Edward smiled at him. "Jasper, I wish I could say the same for you, but Alice has moved on. She found her true mate and was no longer in need of her country bumpkin companion."
Bella growled, but held her ground. "Get to the point, Edward. The quicker you do the quicker we can be rid of you."
"I believe I already alluded to that, Bella. Esme was looking for Carlisle as she has been heartbroken since they parted." He answered in his normal patronizing tone. "I still would like to know why you are here and appear to not be aging. Did Jasper attack you again? I told you he wasn't safe to be around, Bella. I cannot fathom why you would have been around him, but I can imagine that he attacked and Carlisle 'saved' you out of pity."
She looked between Carlisle and Jasper noticing both of their scowling faces. "Can I kick his ass now please?"
"Sugar, I'll be your back up. Just say the word."
"Shut up, Captain." Jasper snarled. "Edward, you have out stayed your welcome, which you didn't have to begin with. I think it's time that you left and did not return."
Edward looked down at his phone and smiled. "What would be the point in that? Esme and Alice are already almost here. Did you think I wouldn't let Esme know that I found her missing mate?"
"I am not, nor will I ever be, her mate. I have found my mates and I shall not be leaving without them." Carlisle snapped. "You may as well just tell her to turn around."
"Well, that would be rude. I would have expected you to be waiting with open arms. After all this time, I would imagine that you are ready to beg her to come back." Edward looked down on Carlisle as he spoke. "Now that she is almost here, you can stop playing house with these savages and I'm sure if you apologize Esme will be more than happy to take you back."
"I take it back." Bella spat as her hands balled into fists. "An ass kicking is too nice for you. I have something completely different in mind."
Edward was about to respond, but turned as they all heard the sound of another car coming down the drive. As the car came to a stop, he moved to open the passenger door for Alice as Esme opened her door and stepped out.
"Oh Carlisle." Esme cried as she moved around the front of the car. "It has been too long my dear, I have missed you so."
Carlisle braced for the impact he saw coming at him, but it never happened.
"Don't you dare even think about touching him, Esme." Bella growled as she moved to stand in front of him. "I know what you did and you have no right being here. So before this gets ugly, I suggest you take that pixie witch with you and leave. Edward, same goes for you. This is our home and no one here wants you here."
"Bella, is that any way to treat us after so long?" Esme placed her hands on her hips as she tried to see a way to get to Carlisle. "And really, what reason do you have to keep me from my mate?"
"Mate?" Jasper snarled as he moved to stand next to Bella and Carlisle. "I know firsthand what you three seem to think a mate is. Completely disposable and only to be kept around if it's to your benefit. I am with Bella, you are not welcome here and need to leave."
Bella shivered as his accent thickened in his anger and quickly placed a hand on his arm to calm him down. With a quick smile sent his way, she turned back to the damaged trio. "So, just for shits and giggles, we know why Esme is here. Supposedly to reclaim her mate which is impossible to do as he was never her mate to begin with. So, that leaves us with the wonder twins. Edward claims to be here only to help Esme reach her end goal of reclaiming control of Carlisle. Alice? What in the hell brings you out to the country where your precious Jimmy Choos were ruined with your first step out of the car?"
"I came to help Esme, what else?" Alice stepped forward with a hurt look on her face. "Why are you being so hurtful to us, Bella? I thought we were best friends, sisters."
"Why? I thought you were all knowing, Alice. You should have seen the outcome of this little adventure and known that it will end in all three of you getting your asses kicked off of our property. You and Esme hurt those that I care about and I will not stand for you to be here to cause any more harm. Are you just a glutton for punishment?"
"Bella, I haven't been able to see Jasper or Carlisle in my visions since you sent us away from Forks. It was a complete fluke that we finally found Carlisle and that was all due to him turning on his old phone." Alice whined as she tried to keep her shoes out of the mud.
"I knew this was going to happen." Bella growled and threw a glare over her shoulder causing Carlisle to drop his eyes in submission. "I didn't send you away from Forks. That was just some bullshit story Eddie boy here fed to the family to make you leave. He dumped me and told me you guys didn't want me anymore. I find it hard to believe with how you two treated my boys here that you weren't in on his little plan."
Esme and Alice shared a glance as Edward shifted in place.
"Well if that isn't a guilty action then I don't know what is." Peter commented from his place beside Char. "Sugar, you want to clear this up soon? I am feeling a might hungry and I refuse to leave until these asshats are off our property."
Bella looked between the three standing in front of her and then over her shoulder at her mates. A devious smiled crossed her face as she moved back to stand between Carlisle and Jasper. Taking their hands in hers, she looked over at Peter. "I have just the thing in mind. Remember that new thing I showed you the other day?"
"I think that would be the perfect way to make them go away." Peter grinned as he caught on to what she was talking about. "Esme, you and the twisted twins are in for a treat that will blow your mind and have you tuckin' tail and runnin' away as fast as those lazy legs can go."
Jasper looked at Peter and sensing his excitement he turned his look to Bella. "It's up to you, darlin', just try not to overdo it this time please. Last time you scared Carlisle and I near to death."
She squeezed his hand before looking at him. "I know and I really am sorry for that. I always seem to forget how draining it is when I find a new feature of my shield. Last thing I wanted to do was to scare you two."
"Bella, what are you going on about and why are you holding onto our men?"
"I thought they weren't yours, Alice. I mean, you and Esme threw them away like table scraps so you could go take care of your precious Edward." Bella snapped before bringing her hands in front of her, still holding onto her mates' hands. "Boys, I promise no theatrics this time although I know my mates won't let me fall."
"Of course, Isabella." Carlisle raised his eyes to look at her. "We both promised to be there for you no matter what over twenty years ago. Not about to go back on that promise now."
With a smile, she closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Focusing on the time where Edward left her, she was focusing in on what she wanted to share when she hear Alice speak.
"What is she doing? I don't under…wait. Did she say mates?" Alice screeched.
"Alice, do shut up. Not all of us like the sound of nails on a chalkboard." Bella smiled as she began talking. "Now, if you were all kindly close your eyes and listen to me and only me, I will explain everything and when I am done, I fully expect our three unwanted guests to leave."
"Bella, I don't think it's your place to be ordering us around." Edward spoke up. "All we want is Carlisle and we will leave. I would suggest you remove yourself from the company of Jasper and his war friends, but you don't seem to want to listen to me anymore."
"Carlisle isn't going anywhere, mind raper." Peter snarled. "And I would suggest you do as Bella says or she will make you and it won't be pretty. I speak from experience here."
"I still don't see how she will force us to do anything, I can promise that I am stronger."
"You asked for it." Peter snickered, waiting for the show.
"Children!" Bella snapped and smiled at the silence. "Peter is right, if I have to make you, it won't be pretty. It took Peter a couple days to make sure all his parts were in the right place."
"That so wasn't funny, sugar." Peter whined.
"I don't have to take being treated this way, Carlisle you need to…" Edward was cut off mid-sentence. Everyone opened their eyes to see that Edward was standing still with his arms pinned to his sides and a pained expression on his face. The only thing that moved were his eyes.
"Now that Edward is quiet and ready to listen," Bella paused as Edward's eyes were forced shut, "I will begin my tale. I'm sure Alice and Esme heard the real story of what happened in those woods, but here you can see it for yourself."
Edward whimpered as a scene appeared on the inside of his eyelids as if a movie was playing. He growled as he watched as he led Bella into the woods.
"What the hell is going on?" Esme screeched, she tried to open her eyes only to find that she was pinned similarly to Edward and by the sounds, Alice.
"I told you, Esme, I'm going to explain everything that has happened to answer the inane questions you three keep throwing at us. I'm not going to spare you anything either, you will get to see everything that happened." Bella allowed an evil smirk to grace her face as her revenge began.
"This is how Edward left me, Esme." The scene changed quickly to show Bella stumbling through the woods and falling. "If you think this is bad, just wait for the rest of the movie to play out."
To be continued….
AN – No shock in who it was that showed up right? But the audacity of the three to think they could just walk in and dictate everything like they used to. Bella wasn't having any of it and Carlisle even showed his backbone again. He has some groveling to do, but Bella wont let anything happen to her boys or family. So what does everyone think? I hope to have the next update up soon as this one just flowed. Reviews please
Reminder, there is the FB page for updates and discussions. Just search for Bella & Jasper – Love Under a Blood Moon and you should be able to find it easily. It will be the hub for all Twilight fanfic discussions as I have Darkness and Love Under a Blood Moon as well as one shots that are in the works. If you aren't reading the other two Twilight stories…I highly recommend them, lol, but I may be a bit biased.
