An Imperfect Life

Chapter 50: Who they are now?
(BPOV)
Esme led us to the living room to sit. Emmett, Peter and Char were already seated on the sofa. Rose went and curled onto Emmett’s lap. Jasper pulled me onto his lap in the arm chair facing them. Nikky sat on the floor next to Jasper and I.
“Mom, where is everyone?”
“Carlisle will be down shortly, he is finishing up some work in his study. Edward went for a hunt, Alice and Davey should be back from the mall any minute.”
“Another shopping trip? Why am I not surprised.”
Esme giggled. We all knew of Alice’s shopping addiction.
“There was a sale at Gucci’s. She said she just couldn’t miss it. The scared look on Davey’s face was priceless.” Esme replied.
“Can I see it mom? If I promise to share.”
“Sure thing dear.”
Esme held out her hand to me. I reached out and touched her hand. The memory was fresh and bright. She was right. Davey looked as if he was being led off to his execution. Death by shopping. Sounds fitting. I giggled at the pun.
“What’s happening?” I heard Nikky ask the room.
“Bella can read and project memories.” Emmett replied.
“Well what could be so funny in a memory about Davey being drug off to go shopping? He used to go with me and Bella all the time.”
“Nikky you have never been shopping with our Alice. It can be quite the experience if your not used to it.” Carlisle replied.
I Dropped Esme’s hand and ran to hug Carlisle. I paused only a moment to look around the room.
“Would everyone like to see what Davey looked like. It is actually rather hilarious?”
A chorus of yes sprung up around the room. I closed my eyes and concentrated. Heavy laughter broke out about the room. I continued my way to Carlisle and wrapped my arms around his waist.
“Dad it’s good to see you. How is everything?”
“Everything is fine. I have been working closely with Simon lately. It seems there is more to you then meets the eye.”
“Dad I’m not a transformer! Do I look like a giant robot to you?” I asked while giggling.
I could feel everyone’s curiosity and amusement. Jasper was smiling and feeling mischievous. Okay now I’m worried. He smirked and quickly winked. He was so up to no good. I blocked out everything. Soon everyone was in fits of giggles around the room. Simon must have been pinging off whatever Jasper just sent around cause it didn’t seem to stop.
“Jazz. What have you done to everyone?” I asked my curiosity getting the better of me.
“Now Darlin’, why do ya think it was me who done sumthin’? I ain’t the only empath in the room.” his smirk gave him away.
“Major..why..you..playin’.. with..us..for?” Peter got out between giggles. Yes giggles. Very unmanly giggles at that. So not letting him live this one down.
“Now Lu. How could I not? Ya’ll were feelin’ all warm and fuzzy, I just figured we’d all share.” Full blown Jasper smile. *sigh*
“Why..ain’t..Bella..effected?” Nikky squeaked out.
“I have a shield. I don’t have to let it effect me.” she nodded in understanding.
“Okay Jazz. Let’em Loose.” shit his accent was rubbin off on me.
He sent a calming wave around the room to everyone but Peter.
“Hey fucker. Whata bout me?” Peter giggled again.
“Peter Language.” Esme scolded.
“Sorry Esme”
I sent peter a small wave of calm.
“Bella sweetheart. Was that you?” Peter asked. Earning a growl from the Major. “Sorry” he said to Jazz.
“Yeah Peter it was. I wanted to see if I could influence you.”
“Well thank ya. The Major woulda left me like that till he got bored with it.” Peter glared toward Jasper. Jasper’s smirk reappeared followed by a chuckle.
Just then the front door opened. Alice draggin a very tired, bag laden Davey behind her.
“What’d we miss?” she asked as she took in the room. “OMG. Jasper what the hell happened to you? Why is your hair like that? And why are your eyes blue?” She rattled off. I’m not sure she took a breath between sentences.
“All will be explained once everyone is here?” Simon said.
“What will be explained?” Edward asked appearing out of nowhere.
“Jasper” was all Alice said.
Edward then turned to look at Jasper.
“Dude, seriously what happened. Alice give you a bad dye job?” again everyone was laughing. Well accept Alice, and Edward was seriously hanging around Emmett to much.
“I did no such thing!” Alice stormed upstairs with all her bags.
Davey just stood there. He was feeling nervous and very frightened. I could understand why. The last time Davey had seen Jasper, Jasper was livid and in full blown Major mode wanting to tear him to shreds. I sent him a wave of calm and he relaxed.
“Now that everyone is here, shall we get started?” Simon Asked.
“Yes Please. I would love to know what is going on.” I said as I untangled myself from Carlisle’s hug and went back to my position on Jasper’s lap.
Alice walked back in and sat with Davey. Everyone took their seats, and Simon began.
“Well everyone knows Bella is special by now. At least most of you do. She is my Daughter.”
“What do you mean your daughter, Simon. I thought you were her uncle?” Davey asked looking lost.
“Alright long story short. I’m Dracula.”
Gasps… me chuckling mentally once again… Simon smirking… and Jasper rolling his eyes.
“Yes, yes. Save your questions for later. Now I’m Dracula, Bella is the last female descendant of my most recent bloodline. And before you ask yes I can impregnate humans. Normally Bella would have started her transformation…” I chuckled… Simon glared…Jasper growled… I waved my hand for him to continue.. “her transformation at 18 and it would have lasted three years and ended when she turned 21. That is where the special part comes in. it appears that Bella started on her 17th birthday and will complete it full on her 18th.”
Again with the gasping…followed by more eye rolling from me and Jasper.
“That doesn’t explain Jasper” Alice cried. She was sending out anger in large doses. Alice was pissed.
“Bella and Jasper are True Soul Mates.”
“WHAT?” Alice and Edward screamed at the same time. Twins I swear.
“Is this true?” Carlisle asked. I could see the wheels in his head turning.
“Yes Carlisle, but there is far more to it then that. Do you all remember the three days that Bella was out for?”
“Yes” echoed around the room.
“Well she was going through a change of sorts. Her mind, body and true spirit were joining as one.”
“What do you mean?” Carlisle asked. Yeah what the hell does that mean?
“All will be explained, please let me continue. When Bella woke, her and Jasper left. They went home to talk about being mates and how they feel about one another, since they didn’t have the chance to before we left for Italy.” he said glaring at Alice.
“So Bella wasn’t lying to me when she told me she was in love with Jasper.” Edward asked.
“Well Actually at first I was. I asked Jasper to play along so you would leave. I knew you wouldn’t believe otherwise. Then you challenged me to prove it. That kiss sealed everything.” I told Edward.
“Okay” he sighed.
“Anyway. They left to go talk. Well one thing led to another and they mated.”
“THEY WHAT?” Alice growled.
“They mated.”
“How is that possible? She is still human.” Carlisle asked.
“She is more vampire then human.” Simon shrugged. Causing me to giggle.
They all looked at me and Jasper.
“What?” we said together. Causing everyone but Alice to laugh.
“Alright, that’s enough. Jasper’s changes were first noticed by Bella when they first joined. First it was just his eyes, but once they marked each other, the other changes came through.”
“He bit her and she didn’t turn?” Edward asked. Idiot.
“No she was already more vampire then human. His venom cannot alter her DNA. Hers’ however can alter his.”
“How so? I didn’t know that could happen? Mine did not alter Esme’s’ when we bonded as mates.” Carlisle asked in full scientist mode.
“That is true. You are true vampire’s. Bella and Jasper are just something more.”
“Huh?” was Emmett’s wise reply.
“Please let me continue. After Bella’s transformation, followed by their bonding, Bella just ‘Knew’ that she would have to help Jasper with his ascension.”
“ascension?”
“Yes Jasper had to become one within himself. He needed to bring his dominate and submissive personalities together. So seeing as Bella had already bonded with Jasper, she need to bring forth the Major and bond with him also.”
“You mean to tell me that Bella pissed off Jasper enough for the Major to come out, then she seduced him in to fucking her and marking her, and she lived to tell about it?” Peter asked which Char backhanded him for.
“To put it frankly yes. When that happened the two sides of him battled for control. Neither won.”
“So … Who is he now?” Rose asked full of concern.
“Major Jasper Whitlock.”
“Why do I have this sinking feeling your not telling us everything.” Peter pointed out.
“Because there is more. Jasper is no longer just Major Whitlock, Nor is Bella just my daughter. When the full bond is complete they will be gods among vampires. A true unstoppable force.”
“Simon. Are you speaking of the war gods of legend?” Carlisle asked.
“Yes Carlisle I am. What do you know of them?”
“I have studied the vampire legends. The legend you speak of tells of a husband and wife, vampire and god. It reads that the two shall bring peace to both worlds, human and vampire alike. They will reign supreme over the world and be loved by all. To those who go against their laws or oppose them are said to perish quickly and justly without mercy. But it doesn’t give names to these gods.”
“No it does not. But I believe I have found the gods they speak of. Indra and Indrani.”
“Are you positive?” Carlisle asked.
“Yes I’m certain.”
“Okay so who are they?” Rose and Nikky asked together. Then smiled. They were already like sisters.
“NO. I don’t care who they are. How can this be. I would have known. Would have seen. If I had known I would not have let him go so easily. He never marked me! Never even brought it up. We were together for 50 yrs!” Alice was ranting. All the while glaring at me.
Well if that didn’t just piss me off. I could feel the heat start to rise in my body as I stood from Jasper’s lap. The room fell silent. As I stepped forward the room started to tremble. I could see the flames in my eyes reflected back at me through Alice’s coal black ones. The floor between us cracked and opened. Alice growled at me. Then all I saw was a red haze cloud my vision.
(EMPOV)
My baby sis was pissed. Even I could see that. Her eyes flamed, which was scary as shit. The highlights in her hair seemed to dance like flames. As she stepped towards Alice the room started to tremble. Rose clung a little tighter to me. Shielding me with her body. When the floor cracked and opened up I swear we were all gonna die. Then Alice did the stupidest fucking thing in the world she growled at Bella. It was almost like someone threw the switch. Bella’s eyes hazed over, the whole house began to shake. Objects flew about the room as Bella raised her arms to the sky. The floor opened farther and started to swallow things up. Now seemed like a good time to leave.. As I stood with Rose I knew I made a mistake. Bella’s face snapped in my direction. Her gaze held nothing of my sister. We were saved however briefly by Alice getting into her hunting crouch. Dead girl walking. When Bella saw this out of the corner of her eye she to crouched and turned toward Alice. Simon turned to us and told us to leave the house now or we never would. Taught to always respect my elders we left. Everyone but Bella, Alice and Jasper stood in the driveway staring at the shaking house. Rose was wrapped in my arms, Edward stood beside Carlisle and Esme. Nikky placed herself in front of Davey. Peter and Charlotte were holding each other slightly in front of all of us. And Simon stood off to my left simply shaking his head and laughing lightly. I couldn’t help it I had to ask.
“Simon what’s so funny, and why are you shaking your head?”
“We just finish telling everyone that Bella and Jasper are not only true soul mates, and mated, but that they are all powerful war gods and Alice chooses now to try and claim Jasper. Sure Alice and Davey are mates, but the bond that Jasper and Bella share transcends even our knowledge.”
“So basically Bella has gone all warrior goddess on her ass and we can’t stop her?” Peter asked.
“Only Jasper can stop Bella. He is the dominate in the pair. The King if you will. Only he can control the Queen.”
“Great Jasper will let Bella kill her.” Davey was on the ground with his head in his hands.
“Davey are you that fuckin stupid. The Major may be pissed off at her but he knows Bella would be crushed if she hurt anyone in her family. He will stop her if it gets out of hand.” Peter said.
He had a point. It would kill Bella if she thought she hurt her family. Suddenly a large booming sound brought our eyes back to the house, or what was left of it. The house was nothing but a pile of debris, and there in the middle stood Jasper, Bella and Alice. The girls still crouched and snarling at each other. Jasper just stood their with a smile on his face emanating lust and pride toward his mate for standing up for him. For us to be feeling it his powers must have amped up when he changed again. He reached out slowly and touched Bella sending I can only guess was a powerful burst of calm. Bella stood, looked at Alice and started speaking in a tone that can cause even grown men to shit themselves. Hell I’m close….
“Alice if you value your pitiful existence you will stand down now!”
Alice slowly stood out of her crouch.
“Now Alice, you have your mate. You chose him over your husband. Sure Jasper loved you, but that was it. He never would have marked you. Only mates mark each other. Seeing as now he is no longer just Jasper, you have no claim over him. He is my mate, my lover and my King. I alone bear his mark. If you dare say on more word to him or about him, I will personally rip you tongue out and burn it in my fireplace. Do you understand me. No need to answer just nod. Your voice irks the hell out of me.”
Alice’s posture dropped, she looked so defeated, she nodded and backed into a submissive stance. Smart girl. Jasper stepped up to Bella and wrapped his arms around her. She turned into his embrace, lifted her head and kissed him with such passion I had to turn away. When I turned back they were gone, and Alice was a crumpled mess on what was left of the living room floor.
“Simon where did they go?” Rose asked.
“Major took her home to settle her.” he replied.
“Will Alice be okay? Bella was rather harsh!” Edward snapped.
Simon was in front of him before he could blink.
“Child if I were you from here on out I would watch your tongue. If Bella doesn’t remove it herself, Jasper will do much worse. Yes some of who they are as people remain but until the bond is complete they are both unstable and volatile. You should treat them with respect. If you all think the Major was scary you have seen nothing on this true god of war. His goddess of wrath is no better. So walk on eggshells around the pair or you won’t get the words ‘I’m sorry’ out of your mouths.”
“Simon” Carlisle called.
“Yes Carlisle”
“What do you know of these gods?”
“Just what Jasper and I found out at the library this morning after he woke.”
“He woke?”
“Yes he went into the coma like state just like Bella had. Only his only lasted around 30 hrs. he already being vampire helped. Bella’s took longer because she was not full vampire.”
“So what happen exactly?” Carlisle asked again.
“Basically it was their god spirits connecting with their vampire minds and body’s.”
“So Jasper knows exactly who he is?” Peter asked.
“Of course. He also knows exactly who Bella is and what she can do if provoked. He may be her King but as a vampire she is all powerful. She could destroy him before he could blink. Their bonding, god status, and ranking are the only reasons she obeys him to any extant. They each would die to protect and defend the other. However once bonded again they will be the ultimate immortal. Neither will be able to die.”
“You mean they can not be killed?” I asked.
“That is exactly what I am saying. Mistress Bella’s inner goddess was born in fire. The flames will not char her porcelain skin. Lord Jasper controls lightning, it burns in his soul. Lightning carries an energy and heat stronger and hotter then any flame can emit. They can’t even be torn apart. Imagine the strongest substance known to you, now multiply that strength by 1,000.”
“Damn my little sis is wicked awesome.” I yelled.
“That’s one way of putting it Emmett.” Simon said.
“Peter, Charlotte.”
“Yes Simon.” they said in unison. It reminded me of Bella and Jasper earlier. Really fuckin creepy.
“You both were sired by the Major correct. You bare his sealed mark?”
“Again yes. Get to the point Simon.” Peter said.
A wicked smirk crossed Simon’s face. He knew something.
“Could you show me please?” Simon sounded almost giddy.
“Um…Okay.” Both Peter and Char knelt down in front of Simon. You could see the crescent shaped mark on the back of Peter’s neck easily. Char had to move her hair but hers was in the exact same place.
“Simon. Why are they marked on the backs of their necks and not the jugular like the others?” I asked.
“This Emmett is the Mark of the Gods. Not a vampire. Even then parts of Jasper or at the time the Major knew deep down he was more then vampire. He didn’t drink from you either?”
“No he did not. When I asked why he said he did not wish to contaminate our blood with mere venom. Why? What does that have to do with anything?” he asked.
“Your King simply branded you. Froze your human blood in his mark. Now when the time comes he will beckon both of you forward to be marked again by his queen.”
“OH hell no. that shit hurt the first time. We burned for a week.” Peter yelled.
“Wait not three days?” Carlisle asked.
“NO. he only made one bite at the base of the skull. Large amounts of venom injected into one site.” Simon replied.
“So oh wise one why does Bella have to mark us also?”
“She will feed from you both for her first feeding as a vampire.”
“HUH?” was his response. Right with you there brother. I thought.
“Your human blood has simply been stored for her in your bodies. Once she too has marked you, you will take your true forms and positions in the King’s court.”
“True Forms” I asked.
“Yes. The Lu here is gonna get an upgrade. He will become the King’s commander. He will have full control of the King’s armies. As well as his advisor. Hence the gift of knowing.”
“What about Char?” Peter asked pulling his mate to him.
“Don’t you worry Peter. Miss Charlotte will become Mistress Bella’s shadow. She will help her to decipher who can be trusted and who could truly harm the King. You see they must get past Bella before they even see Jasper.”
“That’s why Jasper just sat there?”
“Yes. Now Charlotte your gift is important.”
“How so?” Char asked.
” You read Auras correct?” Char nodded.
“Well good and evil have different color auras. Look around at everyone what colors do you see?”
“Well yours is green and very bright. Carlisle and Esme’s are mixing yellow and peach. Rose and Emmet are a mixture of red and purple. Edwards is a warm sandy color, maybe tan. Nikky yours is white. Davey your is gray. And Alice.”
She turned to Alice and gasped. Growls were coming from Simon and Edward.
“What? What color is Alice?” Rose asked.
“Black.” Char whispered.
Rosie growled loudly.
“what does that mean?” I asked.
Simon answered. “Black is the color of death or evil. Most dark colors like shades of blacks and grays are considered evil.”
“What are Jasper and Bella’s colors?” Esme asked.
“Bella’s looks like and evening sunset. Warm hues of reds, pinks, yellows, golds, and oranges. Jasper is like staring out into a calm crystal sea. Blues, greens, purple, and whites.” Char told us.
“So they are all of us put together?” I asked
“Yes. And mates colors always match or coordinate.” Simon said.
“Wait so….” I started.
A gasp from my left signaled that Nikky too caught on to my train of thought.
“Really?” she looked at Simon.
“Yes child. Really!” he said with enthusiasm. I swear he was channeling her giddiness.
“What? Really what?” Esme asked.
“If what Char said is true, which I know it is…then my color white matches or coordinates or mates with…”
“Edwards” Carlisle finished with a smile.
Edwards’ head shot up so fast I thought he might make it fall off on his own.
“What?”
“Edward and Nikky sittin in a tree…K.I.S.S.I.N.G…” I started singing.
“Emmett Shut up!” Edward yelled at me. I burst out laughing.
“Some one explain.” he said.
“Apparently you weren’t paying attention.”
“No I was listening to Alice’s thoughts.”
“Okay. The short of it is your auras match. You and Nikky are mates. Which kind I don’t know yet till you get together and from a bond.” Simon said.
“oh…OH!”
Yup Eddie boy was speechless. Nikky took pity on him. She walked over to him and placed her hand on his cheek. He looked up at her and when their eyes met, his face softened.
“hi” he said
“hello” she said just as softly.
“can we talk?” he asked her.
“sure” she grabbed his hand and took off into the woods.
“So what do we do about these two?” I asked pointing at Alice and Davey.
“We leave them. Bella and the Major will take care of them If need be. If not they are on their own.” Peter said.
I shrugged. “fine with me. Now can we do something fun. I’ve had enough drama for one day.”
“Sure Em. Ya still wanna go grizzly huntin?” Peter asked.
“Hells yeah I do. Let’s go. Love ya Rosie!”
Peter threw me over his shoulder and he took off into the woods in search of a grizzly.
