Louisiana Love

By Midnight Dreamer

Chapter 27: The Other Shoe.

August 1896, Louisiana.

(Peter’s POV)

 We spent the night hanging out together in the main house. The Doc decided he was gonna tell his mate all about us and what it meant to be his. She took it well, only passed out twice. *Chuckling*  Leave it to the Doc to find a human with a fainting problem. 

I had no idea what Arabella was talkin about. She said she could feel that sumthin bad was gonna happen but she didn’t know what. I was pissed that she refered to me as the resident know it all but she was only tellin the truth. I usually knew when sumthin bad was gonna happen. I wonder what is gonna shake up our world this time.

Emmett and Rose headed home with the twins after they had fallen asleep on the floor. That left just us bad asses and the Doc with his woman.

“Well Arabella since the rugrats left how’s about we talk about this feelin of yours?” i asked.

“I just know that the trouble ain’t over yet Peter. I can feel it in my bones that sumthin is commin for us i just don’t know what it is.”

“You know you have rendered me useless?” i asked with a smirk on my face.

“Well then i suggest you get on the ball their fortune teller or I may have to take your job away.” she smiled at me. Snarky little thing.

We all settled in for the night then. The Doc took his woman and went back to the guest house. Char and i decided we would go for a hunt.

“Hey Major you gonna join us for some grub?” i asked.

“I’m not sure i wanna..”

“Major just go. I will be fine until you get back. I’ll grab a shower and get ready for bed.”

“Fine but i won’t be gone long.” the Major replied after the Mistress cut him off.

“Fine now get goin so you can get back faster.” she kissed him quickly and made her way upstairs.

“Well you heard her, let’s go.” i said.

We took off toward the border. We never hunted around home, it would cause way to much suspicion around the farm. The closer we got to Texas the weirder i felt. We made it to a town not far past the  state lines. The irony when we noticed the  towns name was not lost on us. Jasper, Texas. Known for it’s national park and it’s roll in the civil war. Much like the Major.

I saw the smile creep up on his face. Apparently he found his hunting grounds rather comical himself. We split up and went our seperate ways. I knew the Major wasn’t gonna be with us for to long. He would hunt and then head home. Afterall his mate was waiting for him. I soon found my supper and no sooner did i drain him completely did that feeling of overwhelming dread come to me again.

This must be what Arabella was talkin bout. I disposed of the body and went in search  of Char. I found her in an alley surrounded by two other vampires. This sent my venom burning through my veins.

A roar of outrage ripped from me, causing the two to look quickly in my direction. The distraction was enough for Char to jump over them and to get behind me. I was furious that these two fuckers would think to go anywhere near a mated vampire. They started getting closer to me. I could tell the closer they got that they weren’t that old. Maybe just under a year. Newborns. Oh this can’t be good. I crouched, as did Char. We were ready for them. Then suddenly they were withering on the ground in what seemed to be pain. Only one that fuckin sneaky is the Major. Lookin around i couldn’t get a read on him. Just then he was infront of me.

“I leave ya’ll alone for a few minutes and ya have ta go startin trouble with the locals.” his drawl was prominate so i knew that he was in command. 

“Sorry Sir. They had Charlotte pinned down.”

“Little lady you okay?” he asked Char. He was always a gentleman to the ladies even in his Major persona.

“Y..Yes Sir.”

“Well then let’s clean up this mess and get on home. The Mistress will be worried if were to late.”

I took the meaning behind his words to heart. Arabella would be pissed if Char was hurt. I knew he would tell her everythin that happened. They held no secrets. We took care of the kiddies and headed home. The Major askin questions as we went.

“How did they catch ya off guard Miss Charlotte?”

“I was feeding when they came up behind me. I didn’t even sense them.”

“You wouldn’t of. It seems that the one was gifted and could mask their scents.”

“How did you know i was in trouble sir?”

“I heard Peter here, and felt your fear.”

“I know i could have handled them had i known they were coming but that sneakin shit wasn’t right.”

“Yeah Sir they are almost as bad as you with that stealth shit.” i added to the conversation.

The cheeky bastard just smirked and continued running. We made it back to the farm in no time. Arabella’s bedroom light was still on. She was waitin for the Major just like she said she would. We entered the house at human speed. No need to break nothin or get her worried if we came in at normal speed. However she must have known that we were back cause she stood waitin at the bottom of the steps.

“Glad your home safe.”

what the hell did she already know.

“Good to be home.” the Major said as he made his way over to her. He nuzzled his nose into her neck. Seeing as he was eye level with her since she was standing on the steps.

“Charlotte are you okay?” she asked.

“How did you know?”

“I told you i had a feeling somethin was comin our way.”

“But we were in Texas. How could you know?”

“I can feel what the Major feels. I felt his protectiveness come on strong and knew somethin happened and i figured it was with Char and not you Peter seein how you can take care of yourself.”

“Damn straight i can. As for Char, the Major here showed up in time to take care of them with his mojo , before i could even get a lick in.” i pouted.

“Oh Peter grow up. Now take Char to bed and get some rest.”

“Yes Mistress.”

“Oh and Peter.”

“Yes.”

“Those Newborns were Maria’s. She will be lookin for them soon enough. I suggest you three get to doin whatever it is you do best.”

I didn’t get to respond as the Major growled so loud it shook the house. I guess he didn’t like the idea of Maria showin up here. After all this is his home, with his mate, his family. And he protects what is his.
