Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Growing Up

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 19:

BPOV

Baffin Island. Great. We came here. On a plane. A long plane ride. We should have been going after the Cullens. Peter had one of his feelings again. It wasn’t the time. We needed to come here. He said I needed to get my bloodlust under control.

“You remember this place darlin?”

“Helluland.” Of course I remembered. I remembered everything. “I miss Eiriks. Never a dull moment around him was there?” I whispered.

“What are you two talking about?” Tanya asked. “You have been here before?”

“Yeah. We found this place sailing with Erik the Red around a thousand years ago. It was gorgeous then. It is gorgeous now.” Peter answered.

“Peter I was under the impression Bella was a newborn and you were turned in the 1800s.” Tanya asked, confused.

“Don’t ask Tanya. They can be a bit…” Garrett twirled his finger next to his head.

We had just arrived and I was ready to leave. No matter how beautiful it was.

“Peter there are only 11,000 people on this Island. Most are probably nice, hard working decent people. Someone is going to notice if I go on a killing spree. Can we go back to the Congo?”

“Bella there is plenty to eat around here.” Irina said.

“Who? You know somebody?” I asked a little too excited. Should have played it casual.

“No… but there are polar bears, artic foxes, artic wolves, caribou…”

“Yeah. Got it Irina.” Okay I was a little upset. Maybe a little grouchy.

“Why don’t you come with me Bella? We can find you something to eat.” Kate whispered in my ear.

“Something?”

“Yes. Something, not someone. Give the humans a little break from your mass feeding you have going on. Nobody is ever going to win a war in the Congo if you wipe out both sides.” Kate reasoned.

“Exactly. I can bring peace to the region.” I argued. It was a good point. I should receive a Nobel Prize.

“Yes. If everyone is dead there certainly cannot be war. You make a strong argument Bella.” Garrett agreed.

“Bella darling, why don’t you think about the people you are feeding as your old friends?” Tanya suggested.

“Yeah darlin. Didn’t Forks bring back some memories of kids you went to school with? You wouldn’t feed from them, right?” Peter asked.

I thought about it.

“Yeah. I’m pretty sure I would.”

“All of them? You didn’t make one friend you wouldn’t feed from?” Irina asked.

I thought about it harder. Friends…

“Yes. Angela seemed nice. We never really got to know each other that well because I became wrapped up in Edward, but I wouldn’t feed from her.”

“Seriously Bella? I realize Edward sort of isolated you but one friend? One? You were there for a year!” Garrett opened his mouth again. Why does he keep doing that?

“I wasn’t there for a whole year and I… I’m kind of a loner. I didn’t really have a friend until I met Kate.”

“You had me!” Garrett said.

“I didn’t really have a friend until I met Kate.” I replied looking him in the eyes.

“Fine. I didn’t really like your scrawny ass either. I only put up with you for Peter’s sake.”

“I really liked that Camaro.” I told him.

“You shouldn’t have drove it off a bridge. You wrecked the car. I only asked you to pull over.”

“You ripped the door off!”

“You drowned the damn thing!”

“Kids you think we could stop arguing?” Peter asked.

“What about your Texas friends, Bella?” Poor Tanya just didn’t get it.

“I guess. I mean they were pretty cool. I wouldn’t eat them unless I was really, really hungry. Kind of like I am now.”

“What about Amber? You two trained together twice a week. You must have felt a bond with her.” Peter offered.

Ha.

“No, I would definitely drain her. I would drain her, give her a blood transfusion and drain her again.”

That seemed to bring silence to the room.

“How long since she turned?” Tanya asked Peter.

“4 months ago.”

“I see. It is going be a long 8 months.” She said quietly.

“Not for the humans she comes across.” Garrett laughed. Kate hit him in the back of the head.

“Well Tia and I are going to definitely try a polar bear. A little variety in the diet never hurt anyone Bella. Why don’t you come with us?” Benjamin offered.

“No. We need to figure out our next move.”

“No we don’t darlin.” I looked at Peter surprised.

“You almost had him Peter!”

“And he got away. No big deal. I knew I wasn’t coming to Forks to kill Jasper. We went to get Tia. I will know when it is time. Why the hurry darlin? The plan was to let the Volturi and Jasper’s little army fight it out. So we let them fight it out.”

“Why the hurry? Peter the sooner you can kill that bastard the sooner we can relax and have a quiet life.”

“Why on Earth would you want a quiet life?”

“Why not Garrett? Peter and I aren’t all about fighting. We could settle back down like we were in Austin. Raise some horses or dogs or cats or something.”

“Why not just adopt children, Bella?” Irina laughed.

“I don’t really like kids.”

“No! You? You seem so maternal!” Benjamin added on. When did all these people show up? Fate is laughing at me.

“Benjamin, the adoption agencies would probably notice something was wrong when Bella ordered a new child every couple of days.” Garrett laughed.

“You know what? Fuck all of you. I’m going to call my mother. She still loves me.” Peter went to grab my arm and I shrugged him off.

“Darlin they are just havin fun.” He laughed.

I continued walking out, shooting the finger at all of them without looking.

I wasn’t really upset. I wouldn’t eat children. Right? Yes right. Of course not. I’m a nice person. I only eat bad people. Or kinda bad people. Or someone who looks like they may turn out bad. I would consider those who cut me off in traffic but only if I was really, really hungry. And Amber. I would definitely eat that bitch. Wait. That sounded wrong. Oh well. Long as Garrett or Kate didn’t hear me think that out loud.

I had to get a handle on this bloodlust thing.

I pulled out my phone when I got to the highest point I could find. It really was pretty around here. Too bad it didn’t have a higher population.

“Hey Mom.”

“Hi Bella.” She sounded out of breath.

“What’s wrong? You sound out of breath.”

‘Nothing is wrong baby. Just, I was… upset.”

“Upset?”

“Yeah, that’s it. Uh… Phil left me.”

“HE DID WHAT?” Guess who is next on the menu?

“It’s okay Bella. This life… I mean I love it but it wasn’t for him.”

“Did he cheat on you Mom?”

“Probably. It was okay. I gave him a million dollars and told him to go away. If he didn’t want to be here, I certainly didn’t want him here.”

“Where is he? Where did he go?”

“I don’t know. He kept his fake ID. I guess he was scared of that evil vampire getting him.”

“He better be scared.” He has no idea which evil vampire is coming to get him though.

“It’s fine Bella. I actually am enjoying the peace of being single. I was wondering if Peter could draw up some fake divorce papers to go along with the rest of our fake life.”

“Damn it Mom. I am so sorry. I’ve ruined your life.”

“No you haven’t Bella. It is okay. I am fine.”

“Mom, I can appreciate you being strong but you don’t have to be strong for me. It’s okay. I love you.”

“I love you too Bella. But really. Don’t worry about me. I’m living in paradise. My life is great. Maybe I will start dating again.”

She was being strong. I knew she was hurting though. He cheated on her. I know he did. When I checked on Mom his ass was mine.

“Mom I am coming to see you. I will be on a flight tomorrow.”

“No!”

What the hell?

“Why can’t I come see you Mom? Did he hurt you?”

“No. Of course not. But aren’t you supposed to kind of avoid people for a while?”

“I wouldn’t hurt you Mom.”

“I know that Bella. But wherever you are, I am sure it will be a long flight. I mean Hawaii is pretty isolated.”

“I just survived a 20 hour flight and so did the passengers. I’ll be fine.” Okay it was a near thing. I was getting pretty damn hungry towards the end until Peter took me to the bathroom and got my mind on other… things.

“Bella please don’t. I’m a grown woman. I can handle this.”

“Okay Mom.” She probably didn’t want me to see how upset she was. I bet she was a wreck.

I was going. If I saw a mark on her I was going to rip his fucking nuts off. Literally. I could do it now. It would hurt. I would make it hurt. He probably cheated on her. She just doesn’t want to tell me the details because she is embarrassed.

“So how are you honey?”

“Honestly if I’m not hungry I’m horny. Most of the time I’m both at the same time. Peter warned me it would be like this but I didn’t really believe him.”

“Well baby you eat and screw just as much as you want. You know mommy loves you right? No matter what?”

“Yeah. I know Mom.”

“So when is all this going to be over? I would love to travel some with you. We could retrace our old trips.”

“I’m hoping soon Mom. Peter almost had him. Jasper got away. Next time he won’t be so lucky.”

“Well take your time sweetie. Don’t rush the man. Have you talked about marriage?”

“Yeah, I told him we were getting married. We are going to come to Hawaii and have a night wedding on the beach at your house.”

“Oh that will be great Bella! Your father will absolutely hate it!”

“Yes. That’s what I am hoping. Is he still seeing Raven?”

“I don’t know. I’ve not really paid much attention to him.”

“Yeah I guess you have had your own things going on. I’m so sorry Mom.” I felt like crying. I did ruin her life. This was all my fault.

“Bella I will be fine. I’m upset but if he wants to run off that’s fine. About those divorce papers…”

“Yeah, I will have Peter get them done and bring them to you when we visit. We will have to stay inside during the day of course but we can catch up and swim at night.”

“Of course. But why don’t you have Peter mail them? I’m sure it will be a while before you can get down here. What with Peter seeking revenge and the vampire war and all that. You two have to be busy. I don’t want to be a bother.”

“Okay Mom. I love you.”

“I love you too sweetie. You stay where you are at. I am fine. Come see me when this is all over. I miss you.”

“I miss you too Mom. Bye.”

I ended the call and gazed at the scenery. I really had ruined both their lives. All the money and exotic locations in the world wouldn’t make up for taking them both from lives they loved. I needed to talk to Dad. Make sure at least one of my parents were okay.

“Bella?” he answered. He sounded out of breath now. I wonder if there is a sudden air pollution problem in Hawaii. Maybe a volcano is emitting gases or something.

“You okay Dad?”

“Yeah never better. How are you?”

“You sound out of breath. Is the air okay in Hawaii?”

“Yeah. It’s beautiful over here. You should come visit. When your… vampire war and everything is over. That could probably take a while huh?”

“Yeah… how are you doing? Still seeing your 25 year old child?” I was a bit irritated. My mother was going through hell and he was dating a 25 year whore in a thong.

“Yeah… uh no… it didn’t work out. I guess you were right. The age difference and all. We really didn’t have much to talk about.”

Wow. That was surprise.

“Oh. Okay. Well good for you Dad. I’m glad you came to your senses. I guess you know about Mom and Phil?”

“Yeah. Damn tragedy.”

“Did he cheat on her Dad?”

“Uh… probably. But I think it was a mutual thing. No hurt on either side. Just two people who decided they weren’t right for each other.”

“You talked to her about it?”

“No! I mean… me and your mother don’t talk much. We kind of have our own lives, you know?”

“I guess. I was kind of hoping with the two of you living next to each other you might start getting along.”

“Bella, you know your mom is a complete bitch… Ow!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I stubbed my toe.”

“Don’t call Mom a complete bitch Dad. That is rude.”

“Did you just growl? Do you do that now? Growl?” He asked. Oops.

“Maybe a little.” Only when I am hungry. Or horny. Or pissed off. Or annoyed. Or when someone looks at me wrong.

“Anyway, you are right about your mother. I am sorry I called her a complete bitch. That was uncalled for. How is the eating animal things going? Bet you are slaughtering whole herds of deer huh? Have you mounted any of their heads?”

“No Dad. You know how I feel about taxidermy. It’s inhumane.”

“Of course it is Bella. I forgot how you felt about that.” When I moved in with Dad I made him take down that poor deer’s head he had mounted I the living room. It was just wrong.

“Hey Bella it’s good to hear from you but… I have a tee time I need to get too.”

“Tee time? You drink tea now?”

“No. Golf Bella. I started playing golf.”

“Oh okay.” That’s a good hobby. More his age.

“Have fun Dad.”

I ended the call before he said anything. Call my Mom a bitch? He doesn’t appreciate what she is going through. Fucking men.

I ran back to Tanya’s luxury hideout.

They were laughing when I walked up to the door. They stopped as soon as I walked in.

“Something funny guys? Don’t stop talking just because I walked in.” I glared at Peter. He wouldn’t look back at me.

“Oh Garrett just told a funny joke, Bella.” Tia said without looking at me.

“Let’s hear it. I like funny jokes. Tell me Garrett.”

“Uh… actually I can’t remember it right now.”

“You just told it. How can you forget it?”

“Peter and Garrett were actually just sharing stories of your human life. Humorous events that even you would laugh about. No big deal.” Benjamin said, smiling.

“Yeah? Like what?”

“Like the first time you slept at Peters and you…” Tanya started.

“What Tanya? What did I do?”

“I’m sure it was just the taquito…”

“YOU TOLD THEM THAT?!” I yelled at Peter.

“No. I told Garrett a while back and he told them. Darlin it was kind of humorous. You even laugh about it.” Peter reasoned.

“Oh. I see. You were human once too, you know. At least I had toilet paper. What did you have Peter? It wasn’t toilet paper. I bet you went around smelling like shit! Literally.”

“I’m sorry darlin. I shouldn’t have said anything. We were just talking about our relationship and you know how I love to do that cuz I love you so much and Garrett started telling them about the first night I had you and…”

“Shut up Peter. You could have hit him. Maybe I should tell them some things I make you do? How would you like that?”

“What does Peter do, Bella?” Garrett asked.

“Anything I tell him too Garrett when we are fucking. Want me to share some of those stories Peter? Want me to let them know what my bitch does for me in bed?” I wonder if this was anger caused by him or being hungry? Probably a little of both.

“God I wish you wouldn’t Bella.” He moaned, placing his head on his hands.

I stood in silence. Everyone was tense. Everyone in this house was weaker than I was. Except Peter. But I could shock the fuck out of every one of them. All I had to do is stand in the middle of the chairs.

“Bella calm down.” Kate whispered.

I took a couple deep breaths.

“Peter. Call the airport. We are going to Hawaii.” I told him.

“Another plane ride?”

“Yes. Another plane ride.”

“We getting married?”

“You think I want to marry you right now?” I asked surprised he would be that stupid.

“Uhh… yes?”

“Think again. Phil left my Mom. We are going to check on her.”

“Oh shit. He’s not still there is he?” Peter asked, reading my mind.

“No. She doesn’t know where he went. You can track him down later. He is still using the fake ID. For right now I need to check on her.”

“Darlin that’s a damn long plane ride. I honestly don’t know if you can go that long.”

“Yes Bella. Peter can’t fuck you the entire way. A stewardess is bound to notice.” Garrett said.

“Like the stewardess didn’t notice when Bella kicked the bathroom door off its hinges on the flight to Seattle.” Kate asked. “And then the growling in the bathroom on the flight from Seattle to here?”

“Peter. Get it set up. Please baby? I need to check on my mom. And since we aren’t going to kill Jasper right now until you get one of your “feelings” I would like to take this time to make sure she is okay.”

Peter looked at me and then nodded.

“Excellent. Bella of course you can get married while you are their! How often will we be in Hawaii?” Garrett clapped his hands.

“I don’t think we will have time to find a minister. We have to fly in at night and stay in during the day.” I told him.

“Nonsense. I will marry you.”

That shut everybody up.

“You are going to marry us, Garrett?” Peter asked.

“Of course. As many fake IDs as you two have a marriage certificate isn’t really needed. Basically you just want to say the words. The vows. I am a minister. I am more than capable of officiating.”

“How in the hell did you ever become a minister?” This was so wrong.

“Off the Internet. I took a test. I got a card. I am an ordained Minister of the New Age, Enlightened, End Times Church of Cleveland Ohio. It’s a legitimate faith Bella.”

“It is?” That didn’t sound right.

“Absolutely. Of course I know what a devout Catholic you are. If you would prefer a Priest I would understand.”

I growled at him.

“There is that growl. Let’s go Bella. I know of a herd of caribou we can all wipe out. We all need to feed since wildlife is not abundant in Hawaii. At least large wildlife.” Tanya mentioned and stood up.

“Wait. You guys don’t have to go.” I pointed out.

“And miss your wedding? Please Bella. How could we miss that?” Irina said in a sad voice. “You, Peter and Kate did save my life.”

“I’m certainly going to be your maid of honor, Bella.” Kate added in.

“Uhm, they weren’t the only ones there Irina.” Garrett pointed out.

“Of course. I’m so sorry. Benjamin also helped save my life. It would break my heart to miss your wedding.” Irina said looking at Benjamin.

“Yes and Tia and I owe you and Peter our friendship for saving her from the Cullens.”

“And I owe you for saving Irina as well.” Tanya added on.

“They weren’t the only ones! Did no one see the one I took down? Anyone? Big silver dog with big teeth. Knocked him to the ground. Pretty much kicked his ass? Anyone?” Garrett practically yelled.

“You mean the one you threw at Bella and she shocked with her shield?” Kate asked.

I stuck my tongue out at Garrett.

“Fuck you all. Let’s go feed from some nasty caribou so I can get to surfing.” Garrett stormed out of the house.

“I guess he can give it but not much for taking it.”

“Oh he can take it Bella.” Kate smiled.

“You do that to him? I do it to Peter. He squeals.” I giggled and walked out with her. See how Peter likes me talking about his bodily noises.

---

This was some bullshit.

“Can I sit by the aisle?”

“No Bella. You stay between Benjamin and me.”

“I don’t like not having an arm rest.”

“Bella you can sit by the window. If you promise not to break the cabin.”

“I’m afraid of heights. I want the aisle seat.”

“No. You will grab the stewardess. She is supposed to bring snacks not be one. You jumped out of an airplane in Forks. You aren’t scared of heights. Now calm down. Hold your breath.”

She wasn’t moving. She had been bitching since we left. She drained four caribou, bitching after everyone that they tasted like shit and then going after another one. I had to have patience. Newborns all go through this. It has only been 4 months. Soon it will start to get better. If not we may be spending the rest of our existence in the Congo.

Now she was shaking.

“Can we go to the bathroom Peter?”

“Bella we were in the bathroom an hour ago. The stewardess was nice enough to look the other way. I don’t think we should press our luck.”

“Could you at least throw a blanket over me and play with my…”

“I am sitting here you know.” Benjamin looked disturbed. Kate and Garrett were laughing behind us. Tanya and Irina were reading magazines on the other side of the aisle and seemed very engrossed. I could see they were both hiding a smile though. Tia simply stared out the window not looking our way.

“How much longer is it to Hawaii?” Damn. I understand why they are called newborns now.

“We land in about two hours Bella. Hold your breath and hold my hand.”

“Could you do the blanket thing? I can unbutton these jeans and…”

“Still sitting here…” Benjamin reminded her.

“At this point I don’t care Benjamin. I need blood or an orgasm.” Bella growled.

“Ben do you think you could go flirt with the stewardess some more?”

“Of course Peter. Have fun and try to keep her quieter this time.”

Benjamin got up and walked to the drink station. The nice thing about first class is the bathrooms are slightly bigger. Not much but enough.

Bella practically dragged me there. We walked in and she leaned up against the sink with her back to me.

“Don’t break the sink. Put your hands on the wall.” I whispered.

“Put your cock inside me. I feel like I have this itch all over my body and I need it scratched now.” She had her pants around her ankles and pressed her ass against me. Damn she had the cutest tight ass. I reached around to grab her…

“Are you stupid? You know I am ready. I don’t need foreplay. Get inside me.”

I raised my hands and cupped her breasts. Her nipples were like rocks. She was taking in large breaths.

I went inside her easily enough. She was very ready and very slick. Damn I felt that same vibration I felt every time I went in her. Every touch was electric but when we made love it felt like we were melting into each other.

“Ohhhh right there baby. You like that?”

You know I do.” I purred.

“Squeeze my tits.”

“Like this?”

“No harder!”

Okay. She was slapping her ass back into me. I wonder if the stewardess could hear that on the other end of the plane.

“Damn it harder. Move faster. Fuck me like a damn vampire.”

Fine. I squeezed her tits as hard as I could and fucked her as fast as I could. The walls where her hands were pressed against began cracking.

“Yeah, yeah, just like that. Right there. Grab my pussy. Squeeze it! Now.”

“Darlin you got to keep quiet.” I said quietly in her ear.

“Mmmmmmmmmm.”

Now she was humming.

“You better come fast Bella. I don’t know how much longer the stewardess is going to miss this.”

I squeezed her clit and… that was probably a bad idea because she just screamed. Unfortunately she came as well which always makes me cum. We had a damn mess going on. I pulled out, buckled my jeans and opened and closed the door at vampire speed. I leaned against the wall casually while I saw the stewardess head pop over Ben’s shoulder. She looked disturbed. Ben turned around and saw me. He let her pass.

She walked quickly to the bathroom and stopped in front of me.

“Did someone scream?”

“Yeah. It’s my wife. She is having some stomach problems. Explosive Diarrhea. She will be fine.”

“Maybe I should check on her. Ma’am? Are you okay?”

“Uh… no. Could you come in here and help…”

“Bella love. The stewardess is not going into the enclosed space with you where no one can see her. She doesn’t need to smell that.”

“Ma’am. Can I get you some medicine?” The nice lady and potential Bella snack asked.

“No… I guess not. My husband won’t let me take any. I’m feeling better.” Bella was pouting. I could hear it in her voice. I hope she was okay around her parents. We really wouldn’t have time for her to hunt. We had to catch a connecting island hopper if we were going to make Kauai while it was dark but not late so she could surprise her parents while they were still up. I looked down the row of seats to see all our “friends” staring down the aisle and smiling. Assholes.

“Okay. If you are sure. Let me know if you need anything.”

“Thank you ma’am.” I nodded. She walked off with a strange look at the bathroom door.

Bella finally came out. Her hair was a mess. But she wasn’t shaking any longer. Except her legs. They were shaking a bit. Damn right they were.

She tried to sit on the aisle but Ben saw what she was going to do and got there first.

She growled and sat next to the window. I asked her if she wanted a magazine. She asked me if I wanted to go back to the bathroom for more explosive Diarrhea. I saw the Stewardess staring at her in concern. Probably not the best idea.

We landed. Tanya Kate and Irina gave me a break and guided Bella quickly out of the airport to get air. A short plane ride later and we landed in Kauai. Renting four cars, we drove to the two houses I had bought but never actually seen.

“Look why don’t we just wake them up in the morning before sun up. You can hunt tonight… one person Bella… and then you will be okay to see them.”

“No. They are my parents. I won’t harm them. Especially with all the vampires around.”

“Okay…”

“I can’t wait for the reunion. The first time your parents see you as a vampire. I have my camera to capture the moment.” Garrett was excited. He wanted to scrap book Bella’s first year as a vampire, complete with pictures of her… meals. I refused.

We pulled up. It was 9 PM local time. Everybody should still be up. Renee’s house was quiet. Too quiet.

“No one is home. I can’t hear any heartbeats.” Bella whispered for some reason. “What if she killed herself Peter?” Now she was freaking out. Thing about newborns is, emotions are a bit difficult to handle and they can change constantly.

“Bella I can smell her scent. Can’t you?”

“Yeah Peter. I can. It’s going towards… is that Dad’s house?”

“Yeah.” Bella moved to his door quickly. I followed.

“Smells like she went in there. I wonder why? They hate each other.” Bella said quietly. Then we heard it. Something broke inside. Or hit a wall. Hard to tell. It was loud. More stuff was banging. You would almost think that…

“Fuck you Charlie Swan. You fucking bastard! Fuck you!” Renee screamed.

“Oh God they’re fighting.” Bella whispered. She ripped the door handle off and I followed her. She ripped the handle of the door to what must be the bed room.

“Bella? Peter?” Renee asked sounding very out of breath. Bella said nothing. She wasn’t moving.

A very naked Renee was on top of a very naked Charlie Swan whose eyes were the size of dinner plates.

“M..m… m… m..m…” Bella had lost the power of speech. Garrett walked in with a camera. “D… d… d… d…”

“Say cheese!” He took a fucking picture.

“Now that is a reunion worth remembering! Don’t worry Bella. I will make sure you get a print.”

I placed a hand on Bella’s shoulder. I hope she wasn’t broken completely.

“Well darlin. Looks like you were right and I was wrong. They are getting along much better.”
