Chapter 11
Alice POV
After Bella had called, I told everyone that she was coming. Jane and Alec had figured out that Bella's Dad was a member of the Sons of Anarchy. Jane knew that they'd have someone either watching the house or they'd have someone looking into us. So in order to get Bella's attention, Jane had us kidnap Charlie. He wasn't going to make it out of here alive but Jane knew that Bella cared about him so she would come in order to save his life.
Rose, Esme and I were standing in the kitchen. "Bella will be here tomorrow." I told them.
"How do you think this is gonna play out?" Esme asked.
I shrugged. "She cares about Charlie so she'll hand herself over willingly. However, I don't think that she'll be alone. The Sons will at least be nearby if they don't show up with her." I said, looking out the window. "I just want Jasper home." I said.
Bella POV
When we arrived at the SAMTAC clubhouse, I noticed that it was smaller than the SAMCRO one. I climbed out of my car and walked over to where Ope had parked his bike. We followed Clay and Jax over to the Clubhouse doors. As we approached, two guys stepped out. Ope threw his arm around my shoulders. Jax and Clay shook their hands. Clay and Jax talked to them for a minute before I noticed that they were looking at me. "This her?" The taller one asked.
Clay nodded. "Yeah. This is my niece Bella. Bells, this is Lee and Aaron." He said.
"It's nice to meet you both." I said.
"Hap filled us in. Come on in." Lee said.
We made our way inside the clubhouse. I noticed that the inside was similar to the SAMCRO clubhouse. I noticed that it was decorated almost the exact same. I was pulled from my thoughts by Ope pulling me into his side. I looked up at him and gave him a weak smile. Ope led me over to the bar where we saw a blonde guy sitting. "Hey Opie." The guy said.
"Kozik, how's it going man?" Ope asked him.
"It's going. This your girl?" Kozik said.
"Yeah. This is Bells. Bells this is Kozik." Ope said.
Everything happened so quick. Dad came rushing over. He grabbed Kozik by the back of his Kutte and yanked him off the bar stool. Once Kozik was facing him, he pointed at me. "YOU! Don't talk to her." Dad said.
I looked at Dad confused. "Why do you care if I talk to Opie's girl?" Kozik asked him.
"Dad?" I asked.
Kozik looked back at me and Ope before turning back to Dad. "She's your kid?" He asked and Dad nodded. "Thought Colleen took off with your girls?" Bam! Dad sucker punched him.
I flinched and buried my face in Ope's chest. When I looked back up, Hap was picking Kozik up off the floor. "You would know all about that wouldn't you…" Dad said. "Is she here?" Dad asked.
It was all starting to make sense. Dad's split with Colleen had something to do with this Kozik guy. "Nope. She took off a couple of years ago. Fawn is though." Kozik said.
Dad took a step back and his face was emotionless. "Where?" He asked and Kozik pointed to the dorms. "She with you?" Dad asked. For Kozik's sake I hope the answer was no. He shook his head and Dad nodded. "Bells, come on." He said and me and Ope followed him. Dad started checking the dorm rooms until he found the one that he was looking for. "Fawn." He said stepping into the room. Ope and I followed him in.
She looked over at us. I knew her. I just never knew that she was my sister. "Fawny?" I asked.
She looked past Dad at me. "Bells? What are you doing here? Your supposed to be in Forks where your safe." Fawn said.
Dad looked at us confused. "Fawn used to babysit me when I was little." I said.
Dad looked back to Fawn. "Bells is your sister." Dad told her.
Now Fawn was the one that was confused. "What's going on?"
"Give us a minute." I said calmly to Dad and Ope. They nodded.
"We'll be at the bar." Ope said.
Tig POV
I couldn't believe it. Fawn was here. But the million dollar question was why? Why was she here and why was she staying in Kozik's room? Then there was the fact that Fawn had babysat Bells when she was younger. So does that mean that Colleen and Renee knew each other? Were they friends? There were so many questions that I didn't have the answers to. Ope and I were sitting at the bar drinking a beer. "How're things with you and Bells?" I asked Ope.
He nodded. "There good. I think that they'll be even better once all of this shit settles down." Ope said.
"I know she's concerned. I can see it in her face. She's afraid that she's not gonna make it out of this." I said.
"I know. Last night she kept making me promise that I'll always enjoy the little things with the kids. It's almost like she was telling me goodbye." He said.
I knew that Bells was struggling with everything that was going on. I just hoped that she believed that we weren't going to let anything happen to her.
A little while later, Bells and Fawn came walking out of the dorm rooms and Bells just kind of stared at us. "Ope, I'm tired." She said.
"Yeah, let's head to bed." He told her.
Bella POV
The next morning, I woke up before Ope. I made my way out to the barroom. The only person that I saw was Jax. He handed me a cup of coffee. "Thanks." I said taking a drink.
"You sure about this?" He asked me.
I nodded. "It's the only way. Just remember your promise." I said. "Just keep them away until it's done."
Jax nodded and he handed me a folding knife. I reached down and stuck it in my shoe. "Hap and Kozik are in position. Everyone else will wait for their signal." Jax told me and I nodded.
"Thank you." I told him. I sat my coffee cup down. "Take care of them for me." I reached over and hugged him.
"Always." He said.
I made my way out to my car. I got in and cranked it up. I pulled out of the parking lot and made my way to Forks. I felt the tears roll down my face knowing that there was a chance that I'd never see my Dad, sister or Ope again. I'd made Fawn promise that if something happened to me that she'd go to Charming and help take care of everyone. I hadn't lived in Charming that long but I'd fallen in love with Ope and the kids so fast that they were my entire world. Not to mention how close Dad and I had gotten in a short amount of time.
Driving through Forks, brought back memories that I didn't want to exactly remember. I drove the familiar roads, driving the path to the Cullen house. As I pulled onto the gravel path I knew that I was doing the right thing. I knew that I was going to make it through all of this and that come nightfall I'd be wrapped in Ope's arms where I felt safe.
When I parked my car, I turned the car off and took a deep breath before I climbed out of the car. I slowly made my way up the front steps. I rang the doorbell and almost instantly the door opened. "Bella."
"Mom." I said, coldly.
Ope POV
When I woke up, Bella's side of the bed was cold. I got up and threw my clothes on. I checked the bathroom before I headed out to the barroom to look for her. I found Jax and Tig sitting at the bar. Tig looked pissed. "Where is she?" I asked.
Jax didn't look up from his coffee. "She already left." He told me.
"Why didn't you stop her?" I asked him.
He turned and looked at me. "Because it wasn't part of the plan." He said.
"What the fuck are you talking about? The plan was for us to follow her there and then surround the house." I said.
He shook his head. "She, Clay and Lee changed the plan." He told me.
"I'm going after her." I said.
Tig stood up and put his hands on my shoulders. "No. Clay's orders are for you and me to stay here." He told me frowning.
"I can't lose her." I said looking down at the floor.
He pulled me into a hug. "I know." He said.
Bella POV
I followed my mom into the house and she led me to the living room. Everyone was there. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Alice, Alec, Jane, and a man that I didn't recognize. Mom walked over and stood next to the man. "Bella. Welcome home." Jane told me.
"This isn't my home." I said.
Jane walked up to me and stood in front of me. She backhanded me. "It is now. You've caused some problems but we'll quickly get those ironed out." She said as she snapped her fingers. Alec came and stood beside her. "You will marry Alec and you will obey him." Jane said.
I didn't notice her move and Alec step in front of me. "Hello, my Bella. Have you missed me?" He asked me.
I looked up meeting his eyes. "The thought of you makes me want to throw up." I said, smirking at him.
BAM! Alec backhanded me. He leaned close to my ear, "You will learn to listen." Alec whispered.
"We'll leave the two of you to talk." Jane said, leading the group out of the room.
Alec took a couple of steps back from me. "Why'd you do it?" He asked me.
"Do what?" I asked him.
"Run. Why did you run? You know the basics of what was going on and you ran." He said.
I walked over to the couch and sat down. I needed to bide my time while I waited for the others. "That's a loaded question isn't it? I mean, sure you told me to befriend Edward but you never told me why? You never told me that you were targeting his family." I said, remembering when Alec had approached me.
He glared at me. The anger was building. "And the story your spewing about me raping you." He questioned.
I stood up and walked over to him. "All part of my plan to get rid of mother, dear brother." I said looking up at him.
"It won't be easy." He said.
"I know. All you have to do is follow my lead. But once this is done you have to disappear and never contact me." I told him.
"And Charming?" He asked and I looked at him confused. "Are you happy?"
I smiled at him. "Blissfully." I told him and he smiled.
"Good. That's all I ever wanted for you." He said.
A few minutes later, my mom walked into the room. "I get this feeling that the two of you are hiding something." She said.
We turned and looked at her. My felt my anger building again. "No mother. That would be you. How could you keep my father from me?" I asked her.
"It wasn't that simple. When I found out that I was pregnant, I'd already left Charming and was on my way to Forks. I didn't have a choice." She said. "Aro had already told me that I stayed in Charming that he'd come after me and he'd kill me… pregnant or not." She said.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"Your grandfather." I heard a voice I didn't recognize answer.
I looked at the doorway and saw the man from earlier. "Well your clearly not Mom and Aunt Gemma's dad. I've met him. You hate Dad that much?" I said.
He shook his head. "On the contrary. I just hate his lifestyle." He said making his way to stand beside Mom. "Renee, Colleen is waiting for you." He said and mom left the room.
This was becoming way too complicated. "Colleen's apart of this too?" I asked, remembering what Fawn had told me the night before. "Is Dawn here too?"
Aro approached me. "I see you've been busy. Where is your sister?" He asked me.
"Not telling. She is safer away from you." I said and he slapped me.
Hap POV
"Alright lets go." I said, looking at the group beside me. We quietly and slowly opened the basement door. As we quietly made our way through the house, we slit throats of the guards and everyone we came across. We found Charlie and a couple of the guys were able to get him out. Just before we were about to leave the basement, Koz and I spotted two women. One was Bella's mom and the other was Colleen. We quickly grabbed them, covering their mouths. We'd let Bella and Tig decide how to handle them.
We continued making our way through the house, killing everyone we came into contact with. The only room we hadn't made it too, was the living room where we knew Bella, Alec and another guy was. I could hear Bella talking. "You know that my family isn't going to settle for this right?" She asked.
"Your father has always been a thorn in my side." The man said. Tig? What did this guy have to do with Tig? I knew we couldn't kill this guy yet. I looked over at Koz and he nodded. He quickly texted Jax and told him to bring Tig and Ope.
Bella POV
I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw Hap and Kozik slowly entering the room, but I was on a mission. "Why?" I asked Aro.
"Because he wanted a different life than I wanted for him. So he decided to leave the cushy life that I had for him for an outlaw one." Aro said. "But that's okay because now you can take his place."
Hap and Kozik were right behind him. "I don't think so." I said as they pistol whipped him and he fell to the ground. They quickly zip tied his wrists together before they stood up and pulled their guns on Alec. "Stop." I told them. They looked at me confused. "Alec is my brother." I told them. "I can explain everything. Where's my mom and Colleen?"
"We'll get them. Your Dad and Ope is on the way too." Kozik said. I nodded.
Alec and I sat down on the couch and waited. It didn't take long before Jax, Ope and Dad came rushing in. "Dad!" I said, jumping up and running to him. I ran straight into his arms.
He hugged me tight. When he pulled back, he looked me over. "Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah. But Dad…it was grandpa. He was behind everything." I told him, pulling him into the room and showing him.
"Is he dead?" Dad asked me. I shook my head and he nodded.
Dad let me go and walked around to look at Aro. I turned back to the door and walked right into Ope's arms. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. When he let go, he did the same thing as Dad. He looked me up and down to make sure that I was okay. "You okay?" Ope asked me.
I nodded. "I'm fine. It could've been a lot worse if it wasn't for Alec." I told him. I saw the anger in his face. "I have to tell you and Dad something." I said and Ope nodded. I pulled him into the room. I told him and Dad everything. Alec had approached me. Aro wanted the Cullens in his regime. Mom and Colleen were apart of it. Alec and I concocted the rape story as part of the plan to take them down. "Alec needs to get out of the country." I told them.
Dad and Opie both looked at Alec. "How do you feel about Ireland?" Dad asked him.
"Sounds great." Alec said.
Our reunion was ruined by Hap and Kozik bringing in my mom and Colleen. Opie wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into his side. I watched Dad pull out his gun and walk over to Mom. "You kept my daughter from me." He said.
"I didn't have a choice." Mom said.
Dad pointed his gun at her. "That's no excuse." Dad said before he looked back at me.
Opie let me go and I walked over to Dad. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and handed it to me. "You kept me away from my family. You kept me away from people that care about me." I told her.
"It wasn't that simple." Mom said.
I shook my head. "Alec and I…are now free from you." I said before I plunged the knife into her ribcage. I took a step back as she started gasping for air. Hap lowered her to the ground.
"Colleen…Where's Dawn?" Dad asked.
She rolled her eyes. I stepped over and slapped her. "Where's my sister?" I asked.
She glared at me. "She's in San Francisco." Colleen finally said. Dad nodded. At least Dawn was safe. Dad stepped back and I stabbed Colleen in the same spot where I stabbed my mom. Then I leaned next to her ear. "Those girls are better off without you." I said. When I was finished I stepped back and dropped the knife.
"Ope take Bells and Alec outside. I need a minute with my father." Dad told Ope.
"Sure thing." Ope said. He grabbed my hand and led me outside.
Once we were outside I saw Clay and Jax. I looked up at Ope and he let go of my hand. I ran over to Jax and he pulled me into a hug. "You okay?" He asked me.
I pulled back and looked at him. "Yeah. I'm okay. Dad's father was behind everything. He'd blackmailed mom and Colleen." I told them.
"Seriously?" Clay asked and I nodded. "Who's that?"
"That's my brother. Alec never raped me. We concocted the story so that he would stay in the good graces of my grandfather. We need to get him safely out of the country. He's not safe here." I told them. They looked at me confused. "He kept me safe in there." I told them.
"I'll make a call. He can come back to the clubhouse with us." Clay said.
"Thank you."
A/N: Okay that was a hard chapter to write. And as always my chapters never go as I plan. I plan to write it one way and then it takes on a life of its own. I hope that you guys enjoyed it. Next chapter. Back to Tacoma then on to Charming.
