Secelia P.O.V
It had been the best week. Meeting my mate, talking to him, and finding out that we are alike. This made our decision to tell him the truth about Gen, soon. Even though we had only known each other a week the mating bond is instant. An instant connection between two souls. Bella was coming to town tomorrow, and I was a bit excited. It was Saturday and I was with Charlie as we fish.
"So you found your mate?" He asked as he handed us a fishing pole.
"Yeah, His name is Jasper Whitlock. He goes by Jasper Hale at school." I told him. As we returned to our conversation from breakfast. "He's a vampire?" He asked. I nodded.
"Fine, if he ever hurts you I'll light him on fire." He stated as matter of fact. The General snorted, 'Huh, Protective Charlie.'
"I'm sure you won't have to do that, Charlie." I tell him.
"We shall see, Marcus will help." He stated and I snorted aloud. Marcus Volturi was a distant relative of Charlie's, we found that out when we took Bella and Charlie to Italy about three years ago.
Flashback
"Ah, General Secelia Whitlock what brings you and two humans to the Volturi?" Asked Aro.
"I wanted to make a request," I stated as Bella hid slightly behind Charlie.
"What is that request?" He asked.
"Charlie Swan and I met when a rouge hybrid attacked him in the street. I took care of the hybrid and theirs just," I paused, their wasn't any words to describe what happened something just clicked and I felt I had to protect him. I sighed and let my guard down only slightly and handed Aro my hand. Cool hands gripped mine as I let Aro have access to the memory and my confusion.
After a few moments Aro dropped my hand. "It seems you have a strange bond with these two humans, they feel like family, and you want to either change them, or have someone turn them?" He asked.
"Yes," I answered.
"Did you say Swan?" Asked Marcus, hope,
"Yes, my name's Charlie Swan." Charlie answered,
"Any relation to Anita and Andrew Swan?" He asked, more hope
"They were my great, great, great grandparents," He answered.
"Then you have nothing to fear, they are my descendants Aro." He stated.
"Very well, I feel this will be very interesting to Caius once he returns from his trip." Aro states
End Flashback
"You're family, you know kid." Charlie stated and I feel my chest warm.
"Yeah, Chief, I know." I tell him.
Later that day I am at my new place that I had bought yesterday and I was finishing unpacking when a knock came at my door. I spread out my senses, and it's Jasper, Peter, Charlotte, Alex, and Alice
"Hello, Whitlocks, and Ms Cullen, welcome to my humble abode." I say letting them in. We walked to my living room. It was cozy with light brown walls, A couch and a small tv. 'Something's wrong,' Gen stated as we take notice that the three haven't said anything. Everyone was tense.
"What's going on?" I asked as I took Jasper's hand and we all sat on the U shaped couch.
"Don't know, Darlin, Alice and Peter suggested we six talk away from everyone." Jasper explained as his arm wrapped around me.
"What we need to talk about affects two people of The Whitlocks." Alice said.
"As many know the leader of our coven is Major Whitlock. There's also another member of our coven and despite Jasper's disbelief It's real." Peter stated.
"Not this again, Peter there isn't anyone who can possibly be The General, not without my knowledge." Jay said with such conviction. It draws her out.
The General's P.O.V
My eyes turned black. I draw myself up. "I can assure you that General Whitlock exists." I say quietly. Calm, I couldn't feel hurt because of his lack of belief.
"And what makes you sure?" Jasper asked, denial in his emotions.
Encouragement from Peter and Charlotte, but I wasn't ready yet. "Let's not focus on that, What's goin on with The Major and The General?" I asked.
"You know there both still healing, The Major from the Southern wars, and The General for both wars. Two humans under the General's watch are going to be in danger." Peter stated. I draw myself up higher. 'Bella and Charlie.'
"The General isn't real! There was no General in the southern wars! No one was there protecting us, Peter!" Jay exclaimed, upset. I try to calm him but his next words, they hurt and It feels like a knife has been stabbed into me. "What kind of monster just sits there in the background, what kind of monster did the things of those awful legends describe, and if what you're saying is true then this General is a monster! Not a protector, never a protector we should keep humans away from it at all cost!" Jay yelled. I let go of his hand.
My chest feels tight, what had these legends said? Not a protector, then who was I to him? It, why was I regarded as a monster? These thoughts cloud me that I miss the amusement from Alex, and in the coming days I was going to have a lot of time processing how Alex fooled us all.'Monster,' It'd been my biggest fear. The reaction of my mate to think that I was a monster. He didn't know. He doesn't know. Panic, pain, and understanding. Are what I feel right now. I had ruined this for us. It was my fault.
Not your fault' Both Aphrodite and Secelia tell me in my mind, but it was. I was broken far beyond repair.
"Anyone want ta tell him what Gen, stands for?" I asked as my voice breaks and I flee out of the house. I don't care where I am going and had I been paying attention to my empathy I would have caught the Joy and hatred from Alex as I sped away.
Charlotte Whitlock P.O.V
'Fuck, this is bad,' I think to myself. It took us years to get her to trust that she wasn't a monster. It took us years to convince her it wasn't her fault, and he ruined all those years in just a few seconds. Suddenly Peter my Peter fell to his knees in pain. I felt it from the mate bond. His gift was at work.
"Peter?" I asked.
"Fuck this is bad, Char, 50 hybrids West! Someone set a trap! Go!" Peter ordered and I was off. I could hear the sound of snarling and fighting, the thing different with hybrids is they fought with weapons. No one knows why, Gen thinks it might just be the human in them. A venom knife flies by me. Then I see her. The General, fighting 50 hybrids. I go to intercept one but am stopped as a venom gas spreads through the air burning my lungs. A purple shield enclosed around me. The General despite not being able to see looks at me, and I can feel the goodbye.
"Don't you dare!" I snarled.
"Have too, She's there, if they both get their hands on ya, I can't. I just can't. Take care of them." She said and I am sailing through the trees into my mate, who caught me instantly. It was too late they were gone. She was gone!
Peter Whitlock P.O.V
This is bad, more than bad, and then the information hits and it's a hundred times worse.
Betrayal, someone in the Cullen coven did this, Alice isn't Alex's Mate. Alex betrayed us!
50 Hybrids, The General will be captured, only to save Char, Myself, and The Major. The Major will be out for a long while. The Whitlocks and co, will head south in five years to rescue the General.
'Five years! Like hell!' I think to myself. I made the promise that she wouldn't have to go back! Never again!
"Fuck this is bad, Char, 50 hybrids West! Someone set a trap! Go!" I ordered as Jay leaves the scene and The Major takes over.
"Alice, I'm sorry, so sorry." I tell her. Her eyes glazed over as I made the decision to tell her, because it was quicker and easier than actually saying the words it would save time, and when she opened them, she stands and has Alex in a chokehold.
"I didn't see it! I can't believe this, you're not mine!" She snarled and snapped his nexk knocking him out.
"Captain, want to explain what's going on?" I can hear Ares in his voice. Shit, this is really bad.
"No time, Major, Stay behind me, Alice, make sure he doesn't get up, Call Carlisle and Esme, and only them we don't know if anyone else is involved!" I ordered them knowing I will get it later but that didn't matter. We run. The Major keeps pace with me but soon Char comes flying at us. I catch her and we make it to the clearing.
Smoke is in the air and about 44 hybrids are dead. One is still alive and tried to grab a knife. The General taught us how to fight her kind without weapons, but I needed information. I grabbed him by the neck.
"Where the fuck is she?" I snarled. The piece of shit in front of me just laughed.
"Where she belongs, back in hell." He stated with a grin.
The Majors P.O.V
I take over quickly because Jay had hurt our mate! He didn't feel it, our mate kept her emotions that forced calm, but I felt it!
Pain, Panic, worthless, and no way was I gonna have my mate feel that way! She was mine.
'What do ya think Gen stands for Jay? Why don't ya think on it while I fix this!' I hissed at him in my mind.
"Captain, want to explain what's going on?" I asked letting Ares voice mix with mine. I felt his panic, pain, betrayal, loss, and anger. Alex was slumped over and his neck snapped. I'd worry about that later, my mate came first. Mate's always come first.
"No time, Major, Stay behind me!" He takes off in a run. He will get shit for ordering me around later as soon as I have her in my arms. Charlotte comes flying from no where and Peter catches her. We make it to a clearing where I see that 44 hybrids are dead. I feel impressed.
'That's not something to be impressed about Major' Jay berates.
'Better them than her' Ares growled.
'What are you two talking about?' He asked and I miss something because the next thing I know is my Captain has lit a match and the bodies go up in flames.
Loss and grief hit me from Charlotte.
"She's gone, Peter, She's gone." Char exclaimed as she sunk to her knees. Peter wrapped his arms around her.
"I can't feel her," Char's breath hitched.
'Wait a minute, gone?' I asked myself. I searched for my mate and I can't feel her. I am in front of them in a second flat. "Captain, what does Charlotte mean when she says that she's gone?" I asked him. I am sitting in front of them my arms crossed.
"It means, we have shit to do, Major, and I'm sorry but ya won't get to see her for awhile." Peter said softly. A snarl leaves me. Charlotte's head snapped up.
Hope
"We'll see her again?" She asked.
"Course we will, ya think Major will let his mate stay in that hell?" Peter asked.
Reassurance
I am embraced by my sister. I wrapped my arms around her. "You save her, Major, You hear me?" She asked her voice broke as the next sentence left her, "General said she wouldn't survive in that hell again." She whispered. I growled, just what had my mate been through?
'Our mate, you mean?' Jay finally understood and the pain he felt for hurting her was almost suicidal.
'Yessss, mines, mine General.' Ares growled angrily.
'Yes, Gen is short for General.' I answered him.
'Shit, I messed up,' Jay said.
'Yes ya did, ya idiot!' I snapped.
The General P.O.V
I ran, and I was so distracted that I don't even know they're there until I am shot with a venom bullet. I turned around with a snarl and ripped the head off. '49, left,' I think to myself sensing the field. 'And they still using weapons! Amateurs!' Secelia comments. I attack and use all my abilities to my advantage. I take out 45, of them, and then I sense her,
Charlotte,' Aphrodite mumbles.
I don't think as I throw my shield around her. This is instinct. They wouldn't take her. Then I hear it, Venom gas, I would later call it that. Smoke mixed with venom and I don't know why but it made me feel lightheaded , 'That's new,' I commented in my mind. I was fading quickly and knew I had to get Char out of here, there was no way that I was taking her with me. My shield intensified. I send her my emotions.
Love, worry, fear, pain, and slight panic.
"Don't you dare!" She snarled. Somehow I know that our eyes are locked as more hybrids came from behind me.
"Have too, She's there, if they both get their hands on ya, I can't. I just can't. Take care of them." I explained as the gas filled my lungs and I throw Charlotte,
'Back'
'Back'
'Back'
Then I dropped.
A/N: This wasn't the way that I thought that this story would go…
This is not a Bella/Edward story. This won't follow the exact same storyline as Twilight, by the way.
