Chapter 20:
“Jane, you are right. I should have killed her.” I was in the woods on my phone so the redheaded Irish whore couldn’t hear me.
“I told you. What did the little whore do now?”
“Garrett and I came back from hunting. We were going to get into the hot tub before we went inside. She is getting out of the hot tub right as we walk around to the back. Bitch is naked… again… she turned around and acts like she didn’t know we were there. Then she fucking giggles Jane and walks at human speed into the house swiveling her hips as her naked ass goes strolling away.. How does a vampire not hear or smell us coming Jane? Bitch did that on purpose. She may have been a teen but she is no virgin, I promise you. I guarantee she spent a few nights bent over the Blarney Stone. Then last night she walks through the living room after a shower while Garrett and I are watching a movie. Guess what? Apparently she decides to sit down in the recliner soaking wet in a towel. So I’m like, hey Adelia, your hair is kind of hurting the leather so why don’t you get up and dry off before you before you come make yourself at home. She gets up, comes back in a minute later wrapping her hair in a towel and the towel around her body falls off. She giggled about that. Do you think she could giggle if I burn her body and keep her head on my mantle?”
“I don’t think so Bella. I am pretty sure vampires need to take a breath to be able to make any sounds. That’s why I always prefer to rip the limbs and leave the torso intact. What does Garrett think about this Bella?”
“He thinks it hilarious. He loves the fact that it is pissing me off. Of course his male ego is huge now that a fucking 16 year old is trying to seduce him.”
“Yes, you definitely need to kill the whore. Why don’t you bring her here first and I can torture her?”
“No. If anyone is going to torture this bitch it is going to be me.” I told her.
“So come see me without her.”
“Jane, I am worried that if I leave her here alone my house might be gone when I get back.”
“Well there is one thing you can do, that is worse than torture.” She giggled that evil giggle I love so much.
“Tell me. I am open to anything.”
“Take her to another coven while you are gone and don’t come back to get her.”
“Who though? I am not going to dump her off on Char.”
“I wasn’t thinking of Char.”
“The Denali’s? She would fit in with those whores. Now that Tanya is down two whores, she could probably use more.”
“No, she will like that too much. I was thinking…” she trailed off.
“Jane, that would mean I would have to go visit them.”
“So? Don’t tell me you don’t get a perverse joy out of blowing off the Cullens. Dump her off then come see me.”
“But…” Could I really be that cruel? Wouldn’t it have been more merciful to kill her with her siblings?
“Think about it Bella. You know she would try to seduce the virgin who remains hung up on you. She will try to seduce the Doctor who is lusting after you. You should hear the thoughts Aro picked up in his head. Let’s just say Garrett spanking you pales in comparison. One involved painting your body in some sort of tanning paint with his hands? Another involved the use of a stethoscope and a tongue depressor in a manner that has nothing to do with health care. She will be mothered by Esme to the point she will want to kill herself. Rose will absolutely hate her. Alice will take her shopping constantly and play dress up with her. It couldn’t be a more fitting punishment for the bitch.”
My God, Jane was sadistic. A sadistic genius.
“What would I do without you, Jane?”
“I will text you with their exact address. Now we have business to discuss.”
“I’m not talking about that Jane. You know Garrett and I can handle this.”
“Will it be you and Garrett? The opinion of the brothers is that you are reckless enough to leave Garrett behind and take on an old coven of 3 vampires and perhaps untold numbers of newborns yourself in a grudge you feel needs to be settled personally. Even Caius is a little worried. He claims life would be to boring without you in the world to annoy him. He also requested that you quit making prank calls to him.”
“Do you think I am that stupid to go off on my own, Jane?” The prank calls were not stopping.
“Yes.”
“Thank you Jane. I love you too.”
“Perhaps stupid is the wrong word. Cocky? Overconfident?”
“I will not leave Garrett behind.” I lied.
“You’re lying.”
“Jane seriously. Would I lie to you?”
“If it involved you doing something stupid that you know I would try to stop, then yes. Look Master Aro is irritated the Irish made a newborn army. He is furious that they attacked you after everyone at the Wedding knew you were friends with the Volturi. Even more so because of something that happened to a human. He is angry they got involved in human affairs at all. This whole thing is ridiculous. Come join us. We can all go to Ireland and take them out in minutes.”
“If word got around that the Volturi got involved and attacked a coven who hadn’t exposed vampires or broken any other law the vampire community would be up in arms.” I pointed out. I loved Jane but she had told me enough stories that the other bastards were growing on me, slightly. Except Felix. Oversized pig.
“So? Let them. Like they have the balls to do anything about it. Besides they are breaking the laws. They are creating a newborn army to interfere in human affairs. That is a risk of exposure. Come on Bella. This will be so much fun.”
“Let me look into the situation Jane. If I think it is too much for me to handle I will call you. I promise.”
“You and Garrett, right?” Damn. She caught that.
“Of course. That’s what I meant.”
“Lying bitch. Drop the Irish whore off with the wildlife serial killers and get your ass down here. I found a great club in Rome. We can go dancing.”
I had to laugh. I have created a monster. She told me last night that she took Alec dancing. The results were not pretty.
“Fine. Before… Garrett and I… go off on any scouting trips I will come see you. Now I have to make sure that this bitch isn’t raping my husband.”
“Skype me later.”
“No problem Jane. Bye.”
I ended the call and ran back to the house to see Adelia lying out by the pool in one of my bikinis. My bikini. She is two sizes larger than me in the bust so she shoved her Irish tits into one of my bikinis.
I walked past her without a word or a growl. Garrett was inside playing Jasper in Halo. Good boy.
“Where have you been?” he asked without looking up from the game.
“Talking to Jane.”
“In the forest?”
“Yes.”
“Did you see Adelia when you came in?” he grinned.
“Yes. Apparently she is working on her tan.” I smiled.
“You are going to kill her aren’t you?” he asked finally turning to look at me.
“Nope. Worse. You and I are going to see my girl in Italy.”
“You are going to let Jane torture her, aren’t you?”
“Nope. Worse.” That caught his attention. He paused the game and looked up at me with horror in his eyes.
“Bella, I know she is a flirt but come on. You have something worse than Jane torturing her planned?”
“She is not a flirt, she is a blatant whore. And yes I do. We are taking a little side trip with Adelia before the two of us go to Italy.”
He looked at me with understanding and shock. “No. Bella no. You can’t do that to her. I know she acts like a slut and I admit I am not finding her behavior humorous any longer, but Bella, really?”
“No. The decision has been made. We are taking her to the Cullens.”

“Carlisle! How great it is to see you again!” I said with fake enthusiasm.
The pervert came out and shook my hand. Bella, Adelia and I followed him into the house and saw the rest of the family standing. Rose, Esme and Alice practically knocked themselves down trying to hug Bella first. Bella slightly turned into a defensive stance but didn’t attack. Thankfully.
“Who do we have here?”
“This is Adelia, Esme. We were hoping she could stay here while Garrett and I go to Italy.”
“Going to see the Volturi, Bella?” Jasper asked, as casually as he could.
“Yes Jasper, I am going to see my friend Jane. Got a problem with it?”
“Nope.”
“Good.”
“I still don’t understand why I can’t go with you Garrett.” Yeah she just addressed me. Pointed me out. Bella kept a neutral face but I knew the furious anger building up in her beautiful homicidal heart.
“Adelia, the Volturi are very dangerous.” I told her, not lying. I still can’t believe I am going to visit the Volturi. Ugghh.
“Why is it safe for you and Bella to go?” Adelia asked.
“Because Bella is a “friend” of the Volturi. I happen to be married to her.”
“How did you find Adelia, Bella?” Esme asked.
“She is only 6 months turned. The Irish Coven sent her and her two brothers and her older sister to kill Garrett and I. I…” I cleared my throat…” Sorry, we, killed her siblings. She didn’t want to fight so we didn’t kill her.” Bella explained.
“This story should surprise me but somehow it doesn’t.” Emmett replied. “I mean seriously. You guys have the most interesting lives.”
“Emmett, I don’t want an interesting life.” I told him honestly.
“I do.” Bella smiled. Of course she did.
“The Irish, Bella? There is no way they are involved in this.” Carlisle said. Oh, well then. I suppose we are wrong.
“Carlisle, Adelia and the other newborns are kept in a cave in Ireland. Have Edward read her mind.” I pointed out.
“Garrett is telling the truth Carlisle. Maggie created Adelia. I recognize her face from Adelia’s head.” Edward answered, walking down the stairs.
“Why would she do that?” Alice asked.
“I don’t…”
Bella answered before I could admit my confusion. “Maggie was left in Ireland after her family left for America. She lived with an aunt. Her aunt died and Maggie was poor and homeless. Siobhan found her and turned her. After she had been a vampire for a year, her brother returned looking for her. Maggie saw him but did not approach. He got married, had children, descendants. A line. A line that ended with the death of Brady Kern.”
I looked at her confused.
“What?” she asked.
“How did you know that?” I asked her.
“I hacked into the CIA databank using a backdoor password I stole years ago. Using their genealogy software it was quite easy to track. I asked around at the wedding about Maggie. Her last name was Kern according to Benjamin. When I came in from dancing I told Jane about breaking Brady Kern’s neck. Absolutely no reaction from the Irish. Everyone else reacted, either impressed or disgusted. They had absolutely no reaction. They assumed the hitter was dead. I had to let them know I wasn’t. Once I said that, I would wait and see how long it took for someone to come after us. It took two weeks.”
“When were you planning on telling me this?” I asked, sort of hurt and sort of angry.
“I don’t know. You didn’t ask.” Bella shrugged her shoulders.
“I could have attacked them first!”
“I know. You would have attacked them. We didn’t have enough intel. Now we know they have newborns I… we need to watch out for.”
I caught that. Jasper did as well. He was looking at me with eyes that told me what I already knew.
“When Brady was orphaned she got Frank Collins to look after him. Probably in exchange for funding or not killing his family. She ordered the hit through Collins. That is why he said it wasn’t personal.”
It made sense I suppose.
I would be having a long talk with Bella about keeping things from me on the plane trip to Italy. I really thought we were past that when she was human.
“Anyway Carlisle, we thought it would do Adelia some good to see how the other half lives. She has always eaten humans. We thought she might like trying animals.”
“Oh that’s wonderful Garrett!” Esme was looking so excited. Wait till she finds this little bitch waiting naked in her and Carlisle’s bed.
“I don’t know if I want to stay here.” Adelia said quietly. Bella patted her on the back.
“It’s all good, kid. Alice will have you in the finest fashions available by noon and Edward will have composed three works of music dedicated to you before four in the afternoon. Enjoy yourself.” Bella and I turned to walk out.
“But when will you be back?” Adelia asked.
Bella once again answered. “Revenge is an imprecise thing, kid. Could be a while. Make yourself at home. The Cullens will take care of you.”
I shook Carlisle’s hand and walked out with Bella. We reached the airport and boarded our jet.
“I need to call Jane and let her know Operation get rid of the Irish whore, was a success.”
“What if Adelia wants to come back?” I pointed out.
“Then we are moving.” Bella told me leaving no room for discussion in her voice. I had to chuckle. Although I would miss Bella’s cute little jealousy, I would be glad to see the girl go as well. It was a matter of time before she staged a walk in by Bella and jumped her naked ass on me before I could react. Garrett would definitely be in trouble then. Bella’s phone rang. I guess Jane couldn’t wait.
Bella had a strange look on her face.
“Aro?”
BPOV
“Hello Lovely Bella.”
“Hi. I was kind of expecting Jane to call. Is everything okay?”
“Are you on your way to visit us?” he asked. He didn’t have that creepy little tone in his voice that made him seem like he was way too happy all the time.
“Yes. We just took off. Why? Is Jane okay?”
“Of course Bella. There has been a development that involves you though.”
“Okay. Don’t be cryptic or anything. Out with it.”
“Well it was feeding time at the zoo as you so eloquently describe our dinner. We prepared to have our way with the group of humans. I found a particular brunette that seemed lovely and caught my eye. As we commenced to feed and I neared her to my surprise she pulled a handgun and shot me in between my eyes. It was quite a fun experience. Naturally I had to wonder about a woman who began shooting at vampires who were feeding around her rather than trying to run. I touched her and found that not only did she know you, she was looking for you. She was on a path to avenge you. She apparently had been lied to and set on a false trail by a member of the Irish Republican Army and been sent to our castle to find you, believing that you could possibly still be alive. She was sent here to die, obviously having no idea of the existence of vampires. Her name is Nina.”
Oh my God.
“Is or was?”
“That hurts Bella. I would never feed on a woman who was so intent on finding you.”
I took a deep breath.
“Thank you Aro.”
“Make no mention of it again. We are friends Bella. Nina is under Jane’s personal guard. Apparently, Jane has grown quite protective of her. She is allowing none of the Guard near her until you arrive. You realize she will have to be turned or killed. I imagine you would like to turn her and take her with you. Of course I have no problem with that. You also realize we can’t exactly let a CIA employee go with knowledge of our kind.”
“Of course not Aro. You and I are both in agreement on that. I will speak to her when I arrive and offer her the choice. Again, please tell her I am on my way and thank you Aro.”
I ended the call and looked at Garrett.
“You want to tell me who Nina is?”
“Basically she is me. We are the same.”
“I am assuming this is the friend you made in training and never saw again.”
“Yes.”
“She was on a mission to find you. How would she have found out about Collins with Tanner dead?”
“We have our ways. I imagine it wouldn’t be hard considering the investigation that must have gone on after we slaughtered Tanner and his team. She found Collins was dead. The Irish heard of her looking, probably on her own with no CIA backup. She went rogue and conducted her own investigation. Rather than killing her there, the Irish probably thought it would be funny or less conspicuous to send her to the Volturi so my friends could end her.”
“Why would she come after you? I thought you all worked alone? It had been years.”
“I told you once that before Jane I had one true friend. It was Nina. If I found out she was dead I would avenge her. She was doing the same.”
“You were that close?”
I thought back to the darkest, most difficult time in my life. The time that changed me forever. The time that made me who I was today.
“Nina was the only other female in my class. You’ve met Todd. There were 7 other males besides him. Ten people in our class. The instructors were harder on Nina and I. They had to be. During torture training we endured the longest and were tortured more brutally than the others. We stuck together before that. The week of torture bonded us. We had cells across from each other. We talked all hours of the night. We kept each other sane. When I fucked the instructor to escape I took her with me. We fought our way out. The rest of the training was difficult on us. The males hated us because we were better than they were. The instructors were harder after our escape. We stuck together. We got each other through. We made it out. Then we were separated. The only time I have ever seen another member of my class was Todd. If there was anyone on earth who would avenge my death, it would be Nina.”
“You plan to turn her?”
“No. I plan for you to turn her if she wants it. If she doesn’t I will kill her. But she will have the choice.”
“Why me?”
“Garrett I have never bitten someone and not drained them. I am not taking a chance on her.”
“You really love her?”
“Besides you and Jane, she is the only one I truly really give a damn about in this world. I never thought I would see her again.” I took a deep breath. Could I kill her if she didn’t want to turn? It would have to be me. I wouldn’t let anyone else do it.
It wouldn’t be an issue. Of course she would want to turn. She was like me. She was a killer. Who could pass up the opportunity to become the ultimate predator?
“Why don’t we get some sleep before we get there?” Garrett suggested.
We walked to the small bed in the back cabin and undressed. He wrapped me under the covers and we closed our eyes in each other’s arms.
This would delay my plan slightly. But it was alright. The Irish weren’t leaving Ireland. I had all the time in the world.
