Fate into Shadows

Chapter 9

Sisters

Rosalie

I was standing above Bella's sleeping form staring at her in thought as the evening darkened the sky through the window. What could Alice possibly see in this girl? Sure, she's strong and kind of interesting, but she's obviously more dangerous than a vampire. Heck, I've never heard of a vampire nearly as powerful as her.

But if Alice loves her, I suppose I should at the very least try being more civil to her, as I know from personal experience how the supernatural bond feels, and I do love Alice. Well, I suppose Bella is really sexy, and has a great body. Well, okay, if I were gay and human, I would love to fool around with her myself. I start and shake my mind clear. I'm over thinking now because I haven't had any today and watching my Emmett kicking zombie butt was kind of a turn on, and I secretly think it was cool, but hope he never finds out or he'll get up to more mischief than he already does.

I sighed again as I sat on the chair by Bella's bed watching over her as Alice, Edward, Carlisle and Esme took Angela back home to her grandmother. The girl was kind of distressed, and all she gave up was something about some jerk wanting her pendant. Heck, I hadn't even noticed it until she showed us. It was apparently some kind of legendary staff that's been sealed in the necklace and protected by her family for generations and now some evil warlock wanted it, to bring back the 'Old Ways', which weren't in favour of the 'mundane' humans being left alone.

I just hope Emmett and Jasper hurry up from hunting as I do not wish to continue babysitting this girl for much longer. Plus, this room smells too much of Alice for my liking, and I've always found the pixie's scent to be too sweet, which was so her to be fair.

It really shouldn't be this hard to watch one sleeping human. I suppose I really don't have to wait in her room with her but… damn my conscience if anything would happen to Alice's girlfriend, I… ugh… it's so hard being a selfish bitch so much, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try being Bella's friend. Sure, she isn't the reason those zombies attacked but she could have just run away and left Angela to it. Though, I realise that Alice wouldn't have fallen for someone like that, as I knew Alice helped people out of bother any chance that presented itself, and her soulmate would have to be the same on that front, which was annoying.

I shake my head clear before my muscles tensed and my eyes widened as my nostrils flared and I took in an odd scent that sent my instincts reeling. How was it possible for a scent to bring fear to a vampire? Even that huge zombie demons' scent did nothing like this and that was a scary zombie making monster.

However, I could clearly detect a few other things, wild and untamed, I shivered as my gaze lingered over my sister's girlfriend… a girl Alice had begged me to think of as a new sister, even though I can't, even Jasper has. How can I? She just turns up and changes everything. I know change to a vampire should be exciting and new but I liked things to stay the way they were. I love Alice truly I do, and I know it's selfish, as Alice has waited so long, maybe even longer if she was reincarnated too, though she would never remember that, and if Bella were a vampire, I wouldn't have seen any issues.

No… I must look after Bella no matter what I want… no matter what my instincts say I should do. I've been fighting my thirst for human blood ever since I murdered those men… my fiancé who… who… I can't even think of it. The thought makes me angry and I use that as I look one last time at Bella before flittering out of the room, down the stairs and stopping as I reach the front of the house trying not to shiver or let the scent of fear linger around me. If it's for my family I'll even fight for a human who should probably be a character in a fighting game, not real life, but then I am a vampire, so I shouldn't talk like that.

It took a moment for the scent to step out of the bushes, and I could admit my surprise to find a relatively human looking man. Well, human if not for the cracked red skin and eyes that shined black with no whites, and with sharp fanged teeth and long sharp finger nails. Though, I was a little impressed with the designer silk suit in a plumb purple. I almost expected horns poking up through his slick-back black hair or a sinister looking goatee, but he was clean shaven.

However, the sinister followed him out, but stood slightly behind him, by my count twenty five scabby grey little things no bigger than children between ten and twelve hissing and snarling with large mouths full of teeth I believe would be better suited for a shark, one of those extinct dinosaur ones, what was it called? Right, the megalodon. Their teeth was just that huge, guttering out of their wide and large mouths at differing angles, bleeding their own lips and chins, if you could call what they had chins. They were naked with no outward appearance of male or female with huge and sharp claws instead of any noticeable fingers, and with sharp horns dripping in grey goo running from their shoulders to their wrists, and long whip-like tails with spikes running to the tip, twice as long as their bodies.

"Do not fear us," the red man suddenly hissed out and I noted his tongue, as it was long and forked, blue and cold like a serpent. "If you hand us the little magical girl… we shall let you go unharmed!" he said all this, but I could only see hardened deceit. I am a vampire after all, and I can tell fact from fiction better than humans, and though he wasn't human, he had all the 'human' tells in spades, even with three heartbeats from three undersized hearts from my count, one missed a step with his words.

"Sorry, but you're a bit late," I replied smoothly. "She's gone home already, and my husband and brother will be back soon, so it will be wise of you to leave as both of them can be quite overprotective."

The red guy only grinned widely as he gestured to his snarling companions. "And there's another twenty-five dealing with them as we speak. Though, I must admit the witch's scent is lighter than expected, so I guess she isn't here after all," he said in amusement. "Maybe we shall take the spiritualist as compensation for our wasted journey. Our master is very curious about such a powerful warrior creeping under his radar for so long."

I grit my teeth in worry. "You stay away from us!" I demanded shakily before I gasped out and doubled over as one of the creatures moved, flittering as fast as a vampire and kneed me in the stomach before another's claws sliced through my top exposing my left breast as a third slammed me to the floor cracking the ground. As I snarled and hissed four, one on each limb pinned me to the ground while the red freak stalked slowly closer. I struggled, but against four of these things it was almost useless.

"Mmm," he muttered. "I've never been so lucky to have a vampire all to myself before," he muttered as my eyes widened in horror as I struggled harder, growling and hissing in my absolute rage. "By the way, I believe my dear, Rose… that is your name correct? Of course, it is… lovers should know each other's names. My name is Elmet Frozewild the fourth, and my cock shall be at your pleasure," he laughed. "After all the other girl can wait her turn."

I struggled harder and more animalistic as he came closer, undoing his zipper he finally pulled out his hard member, and I barely took note of the blue colour or the lack of wrap around skin to the three inch small dick coming my way. I cried out for help but as he moved closer, I realised none was forthcoming. It-it was going to happen again and even with super strength I am powerless to stop it.

Emmett

I growled as I dodged a right sweep of the scabby creature's claw and tore its fleshy arm off in a shower of thick gooey black blood before using it as a weapon to slice apart one of its friends. I couldn't tell what Jasper was doing but figured the guy was kicking as much tail as me.

These things had just come out of the bushes and attacked as we were about to head back home. They hadn't even given any warning, so I figured they wanted to fight. However, from what I've seen the limbs we tore off just dissolved after a few moments while they regenerated replacements. How the fuck can we beat bitching things that fix what we break when there are so many. They must have some kind of weakness but it's a matter of finding that weakness while fighting them.

I threw down the dissolving limb as I growled and grabbed one's tail between the spikes (I leaned from that mistake as the spikes were sharp enough to cut through vampire skin) and pulled him up until I used him as a weapon (well I think they're male), and smashed several of his friends out of my way. It doesn't help matters that the blasted things were freaking fast and had built in weapons (why can't I have a sword or something?).

The demon I was spinning soon sliced its own tail off to my surprise. I stumbled and cried out in pain as one's tail whipped across my back sending me sailing as I dropped the dissolving tail and crashed along the ground skidding along until I hit a tree head first causing me to groan. I turned painfully to get my bearings, and my face fell as two creatures were on me in seconds.

However, less than a moment before my neck had their monster-shark-like teeth tearing my head off they were torn viciously from me, and smashed face first by their tails into the forest floor.

My rescuer was surprisingly a young woman, about twenty in appearance with a musky scent that wasn't too horrid, but not a scent I would go out of my way to be around. She radiated heat, and her heartbeat was unusually slow. She must have only been five foot six inches and her blonde hair was wild, an untameable dark blonde with sharp looking canines as she smiled victoriously at the monsters flexing her small fingers with razor sharp fingernails. Her eyes were wild as she snarled; their colour a normal blue, but the pigmentation held a sharp animalistic quality.

She looked back at me and smirked. "Get up ya lazy bat-fucker, and lets kick these Scabbs scabby arses until they're nothing but freaking fertiliser and worm chow," she said laughingly in an accent that suggested either northern England or Scotland.

I flittered back to my feet and shook my head clear before returning the smirk. "Yeah, well maybe you know the cheat code for killing them?" I asked her.

"This isn't a bloody game Batgirl," she said laughing while I internally groaned. "But if I were to hazard a guess, I say we smash their fucking heads in."

"Tried it, but they just regenerate as if nothing happened," I told her in annoyance.

"Yeah, but ya forgot to take the blimin' stone out of the thing's heads," she retorted in annoyance. "They're just slave creatures. Some jumped up sorcerer is pissing about for some reason. But we got to put a stop to these bastards before some innocent kid becomes their chow."

I couldn't help but grin as I leaped away and grabbed one before it had a clue, I tore its head open before it could think and found an odd grey stone with a glowing swirl of light that I quickly removed, and the body just feel apart, dissolving into a pile of dirt as the stone glow faded away for just a carved swirl.

"Awesome!" I couldn't help but yell out as I now know how to kill them, it's more fun. I looked over to see Jasper nearby having another one regenerate on him to his frustration. "Jasp!" I called out. "They have some kind of magical stone in their heads. Take the stone and they fall apart!"

Jasper nodded as he retrieved a stone of his own in seconds before we got into the fray with the blonde woman. Though, she seemed to be having a blast.

Rosalie

I was panicking as the red thing came closer, but I could do nothing as these scabby things were just too strong, and closed my eyes tight as he got to his knees and I felt my jeans being torn along with my panties and I was truly afraid. Then I heard a loud crash and my arms were free, and then a splattering sound, and I could feel my legs were no longer being held but a soft body was on top of me panting for breath, and I looked up to see Bella's blue pyjama clad butt almost in my face as she was carefully pulling her tired self, up and her fisted hands from the scabby things heads before they dissolved into dirt.

I could now see what had happened as two other scabby things were regenerating as they pulled themselves from the ground, and the red guy had blue blood running from his forehead as he pulled himself from a toppled tree. Bella… Bella had saved me… even while tired and injured from her previous fight she came to my rescue.

"Stay away from her Devil!" Bella hissed out angrily as she managed to sit up on my stomach as I was in too much shock to move yet. "You haven't a clue who you're messing with, you filthy bastard!" she spat as blue light balled in her cupped hands, "hadouken!" she called but the blast was lacking any force or power, and the red monster moved slightly from his position, and the energy flew passed him, and dissipated.

"Why of course I do," he retorted, as if she hadn't tried to blow his face to pieces, and he stood straight and brushed himself clear of dirt on his expensive looking suit, but wiped his forehead clear on his left sleeve as he sneered at Bella. "It's been a long time since a mortal has ever hurt me, Spiritualist! And I shall make you and the blonde vampire suffer for daring to oppose me!"

Bella growled as she forced herself to stand with a leg shaking with effort either side of me, and turned her head to look at me. Her eyes were cold and full of fury, but softened a touch when connected with my eyes before her brown eyes scanned over my near naked body and I found myself feeling self-conscious with her looking at me in such personal areas. I was vulnerable, but all I sensed was affection.

She then returned her attention to the demon thing and I could feel the pressure of… of my soon to be little sisters power. "You shall stay away from her!" she spat out in rage.

"Why, what impressive spiritual pressure," he spoke laughingly. "But you're still injured from our little zombie attack; your pathetic little energy attack was so weak, dodging it wasn't even necessary. So, you may still have the power, but you humans are limited by such a weaker bodies and minds, so you can't even use that power."

"That doesn't mean I will lose to the likes of you," she retorted. "Even most other devils don't want to associate with a fucking thing like you, you freak."

"Sticks and stones little girl," he laughed. "But I see you're trying to stall for reinforcements."

Bella's small bare feet moved just an inch backward on the ground, and I realised that she didn't have enough physical strength to stop him, but she turned to me. "Trust me," she panted out with conviction in her eyes. I couldn't help but nod. "Keep the Scabbs busy and I can deal with him. Smash through their skulls and tear out the stone inside their brains to kill them," she said dropping two stones to my stomach before turning away.

"Capture them!" the devil demanded, but I took Bella's command seriously, after all this was now just about survival and I'm certain if Bella was worried about this thing, he was not going to be easily beat. I tore two heads off easily, just forgetting any modesty as I let my internal monster loose to stop these Scabby things from interfering with Bella's fight while keeping an eye out for the ninja.

"Now what girl?" the red guy hissed mockingly.

"Blessed now the fortune of the Goddess of Will!" she roared out pushing her hands forward, and the red guy cried out in shock as both he and Bella had magic circles, like stars with writing around their feet in red. However, his was creating sparks of lightning that seemed to be pinning his arms and legs forcefully as Bella's circle grew, his shrunk, as Bella turned her hands facing each other a corona of red light between them, pushing it smaller seemed to ensnare the demon further. Bella was glowing with red energy while the demon was crying out as the red lightning held him tight, though I could see his struggles were not as in vain as mine were not long ago as I ploughed into another Scabb.

"Bring forth… power of imprisonment, hold this foul beast and let him rot for the terror he besought upon my sister, and bring him to his knees!" At these last few words I watched as red sparked between Bella's hands, as they shook with the effort, and the devil was barely brought crashing painfully to his hands and knees as he fought back against Bella, his hands having broken free, as Bella's strength was waning as she almost fell to, her magic circle flickering a few times before I was further surprised as a larger circle of gold overlapped the red, seemingly strengthening it.

"We beseech you, dimensions of reality!" two voices interrupted as a blue circle also overlapped with blue and gold lightning the creature roared in pain, and even begged as I noticed Alice and Edward tearing into Scabbs with me in a blinding rage, taking the stones from their heads. I turned to see Angela had returned with an old woman, both in positions like Bella's, but the old lady glowed blue and Angela gold with magic circles larger than Bella's, well the old lady's was beyond huge and powerful.

"We beg your guidance!" all three of them cried out with power echoing within their voices. "Banish this thing to hells prison, and take it from our world!" the circle around the devil imploded in light and all the other circles faded as the devil had disappeared, I realised that I had stopped fighting and watched as Bella turned to me with a smile giving a weak thumbs up as she took a few steps closer.

"I-it's over now, Rosie," she spoke quietly, "we sent it to Lucifer… that one is not going to be heard from a-again," she finished, as I startled because Carlisle wrapped me in a large coat.

"T-thank you," I whispered quietly, and Bella smiled as her legs gave way and her eyes drifted closed. I was about to moved when I noted Esme there already scooping Bella into her arms lovingly like the good mother she is, just as Alice and Edward returned with cracks and cuts along their skin. Alice gave me a quick once over before hurrying to check over Bella.

"She'll be fine titch," the old lady butted in as she moved closer, I took note of the knobby walking cane. "Just sever exhaustion from the feel of it, which is saying something for a child as strong as this. She must have been up against a lot, but I don't believe her body has ever experienced such stress, yet, but she will grow from such trials. We should hurry and tuck her back into bed. I believe I can make up a few things to quicken her strengths return, and I have a few healing spells that should be fine for the physical damage…"

We all startled as some blonde came flying out of the wood's, half tearing the head off of a Scabb before she landed and tore out the stone before letting the Scabb drop and turn to dirt.

"Ha, you two bat-fuckers lose," she declared as she wiped some blood from her mouth and winced slightly as she knocked a tender looking bruise as Emmett and Jasper looking a lot more beaten and injured followed her out glaring. "I got twelve stones losers!" she declared waving her handful in their faces.

"Bitch," Emmett grumbled before his eyes widened in horror as he saw me and flittered to my side right away wrapping his arms around me. "R-Rose, what happened… are you okay?" he asked in panic before looking to Bella. "Is Bella okay, what's she doing out here?" He looked around to see little piles of dirt and scorched earth. "Oh no, those things were here to; they didn't hurt you did they? Is Bella going to be alright?"

"I'll be fine, but we need to get our little sister inside and back into bed," I suddenly said and felt surprised that it felt so right to call Bella that, and noticed Alice looked so very pleased before I was quick to lead Esme with Bella back into the house. Though, I did notice the mage and blonde girl followed in, I'm not going to complain as they helped my family.

Angela

We were finally seated in the Cullen's living room, and I was rightfully nervous as they were all vampires, and it was always hard to control my thoughts around Edward. However, I was taking comfort that my grandma was sitting right next to me, unconcerned.

Rose had gotten some new clothes on, and was sitting in Emmett's lap while Jasper and Edward were together, as well as Carlisle and Esme. The strange blonde girl was also here sitting next to Edward and Jasper quietly teasing them, though, I'm almost certain they don't actually know her. Alice was still upstairs with Bella, and would be able to listen in and most likely explain everything to poor Bella when she's finally able to wake up.

I shall be eternally grateful to all of them as this mess has nothing to do with them, but I'm not sure that our enemy will leave them alone now even if we were to leave.

"I would first like to thank your family Mr. Cullen for helping rescue my granddaughter from those zombies," grandma spoke first in her soft wisdom-full voice.

"It was no problem," he replied with a kind smile. "We would also like to thank you for your expert rescue of Bella, even I could tell she would have soon lost her hold of that demonic thing."

Grandma nodded with a smile. "She had already captured him; it would not have been so easy a second time. He was un-expectant that she would use magic."

"I am curious how she did though?" he asked in thought. "She had not mentioned being able."

"She is not normally as I sense no magical aptitude from her," grandma agreed. "However, with mysticism she could use her spiritual power by flooding the area with it to attune with the magic surrounding her. Something that I am in awe with, as it is a very difficult feat, indeed, even for a reincarnation of Saya Masayuki."

"T-that's why I felt her spiritual pressure," Rose cut in, awed. "I just thought she was trying to frighten him."

"No," grandma replied with a soft smile. "Your little sister is very clever, and talented."

Rose seemed a little uncomfortable and the new blonde girl giggled which made Rose turn on her. "And you are?" she demanded.

The blonde wild girl didn't seem the least fazed. "The names Tabitha, don't know my family name, you guys can call me Tabby. I was just passing through when I smelt some Scabbs. It's been about five hundred years since I smelt them, so I came by to check it out, and thought I would give the morons a hand," she said, gesturing Emmett and Jasper while looking smug.

"And what are you?" asked Emmett while trying not to pout.

"She's a lykan," Edward answered for him eyeing the girl suspiciously. "Your kind is supposedly at war with ours, so why help?"

She just snorted, sounding amused. "Nah, don't be a prick mate, only those Italian douche bags thing we're at war. Anyway, I figured you're a safe bet as you are gold-eyes. Cassady's a gold-eye too, and me best bud so I don't see any problem, except this arse sorcerer. If he's using demons and devils to do his bidding, I'm almost certain he's up ta no good and needs the crap kicked out of him – and if that girl really is THE Saya, looks like shit is about to hit all the fans."

"In deed you are correct Miss Tabitha, even if you are a little crude," grandma answered with a slight bow. "His name is Everett," she replied in disgust. "He was a student in the magical arts of a dear old friend of mine, and I am unsure of what happened to send him down this dark path, but his master had obviously told him off our families' treasure, and now he wants it. It has cost me a daughter and Angela both a mother and father, which is why we moved here to hide, but after so long they have finally tracked us down. It will not be as easy to flee and hide again."

"So, there isn't much you can tell us?" Carlisle asked worriedly and grandma shook her head sadly. "So, the only thing we can do is work together to fight off Everett?"

"I am so sorry that your family has been dragged into this mess."

Bella

My head stung a little as I felt the last dregs of sleep part, and my body felt a little stiff, but other than that, I was feeling great. I felt even better at feeling the soft, small and cool body pressed into mine under some blankets and smelt her wonderful scent.

"Now if you excuse the stiff muscles this is a great way to wake up," I said croakily with a soft yawn.

I heard her delightful giggle as she cuddled a little tighter. "I'm glad you're finally awake sweetie, I've been so worried. Thank you for saving Rose, and next time don't be so reckless."

I couldn't help but laugh. "I can't help it babes, I just can't lie down and let filthy demons touch my family."

"I see," she replied as she moved so the covers fell back a little to show me her pink PJ's and her cute little face, as she just lent down and kissed my lips before I quickly pushed her away, she looked hurt and pouty.

"I've been here for how long?" I asked, amused at her response and cute pout. "I think I need to brush my teeth before we can make out silly."

Alice rolled her eyes with a soft sigh of relief. "Two days, which is why we need to start now as we have lost time to make up," she answered with a smile of relief as she snuggled up into my breasts.

"Wait, two days? What about my dad? He'll be worried sick," I suddenly exclaim, startling her to pull back and look at me.

She just smiled and rolled her golden eyes. "It's okay silly… Angela used some magic to sound like you… though I think she did a bad job, though she convinced him to let you stay at hers when he jumped to the conclusion that you and I would be doing stuff, she changed plans."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Give me an hour in the bathroom and we can get right at it," I said jokingly and heard a surprised giggle as Rose opened the door, poking her head in.

"Not yet you aren't," she interrupted. "I'm taking you both out tonight since you're up and about. I think we can check out a club. Of course, Angela's coming," she added and I heard a screech of 'I am?' from down the hall and Angela joined Rose at the door blushing. "Yes, of course you are, it will be a girl's night out."

"Then are you taking Jasper and Edward?" asked Emmett laughing as he appeared for a moment before they turned up and he fled with them hot on his trail.

"That means I get to come too," interrupted a new girl as she flittered into my room. "It'll be cool huh witchy," she said latching onto Angela's arm and pulling it into her huge bust laughing as the girl burnt brightly. "We'll have a great time."

Alice giggled. "She's Tabby, a lykan and staying with us too, as she wants to kick some more demon butt and apparently, we're now demon lures."

"Great," I mutter with a sad sigh. "Well, I guess I need this girl's night if I'm going to be fighting any more demons, any time soon."

"Don't worry Bells," Alice said with a smile nuzzling my cheek. "If we can find more allies, you'll have less evil bad guys to fight."

"This is starting to sound like a DC comic book," Tabby said amused. "With all the gay romances, they're going too woke with this one, but luckily, the plot is better than normal, and they're not just turning Superman gay for some pathetic pink haired twat," she laughed while Alice and I looked at each other rolling our eyes and laughing with her.

The others all groaned.
