Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Louisiana Love

By Midnight Dreamer

Chapter 30: War Room.

August 1896, Louisiana.

(Charlotte’s POV)

I rushed to Peter’s side after Arabella kicked him. I can’t believe what i saw. Sumthin ain’t right. She shouldn’t have the power to do that. I looked up at the Doc and noticed he was watchin her with rapt attention. He too knew sumthin wasn’t normal. At least not human normal. I turned my attention back to Peter. He was watchin them also. The quiet in the room was unnerving but it was quickly broken by the Major.

“We need to make plans.”

Peter lept to his feet. He knew now was not the time to speak but to follow. Mistress and the Major started to head toward the stairs. The three of us followed silently. They turned into a spare room.

Inside the room was a long table with what looked like a map of the two farms and the surrounding turain. The Major and Arabella circled to the back of the table and stood waiting for us to enter the room and close the door. The Doc was the last one in. Once we settle around the table the Major started.

“This is the maps of the area. We need to know our turf and what we have to work with before our enemies arrive.”

The Doc decided to speak up.

“Who is coming Major?”

“Maria” was all he said.

“Who is Maria?”

“She is my sire. She is also the bitch who tortured, mamed and destroyed all that was good in me.”

“But why would someone do such a thing?”

“Power.”

“Have the Volturi not done anything to stop her?”

“They tried but with me there they didn’t stand a chance.”

“Why is she coming?”

“She wants what she believes is hers. No one escapes and lives to tell about it.”

Mistress growled lowly by his side. He pulled her closer and whispered sumthin to her that even we couldn’t hear. She nodded.

We spent the next several hours making plans and goin over where we were to be positioned. The Major told Peter that they were to start trainin the Doc as soon as daybreak hit.

(Peter’s POV)

Sumthin was wrong with Arabella and i was aimin to find out before the shit hit the fan. I knew i would have to appoligize yet again for my cavemanish behavior. So i set out to do just that.

“Mistress may i have a word with you in private please?”

She looked to the Major first, he nodded and she slowly pulled away from his side. I followed her down the hall into her room.

“You may speak Peter.”

“Mistress. Arabella. I’m sorry for bein’ an ass downstairs earlier. I know you can handle yourself now and i shouldn’t have even entertained the idea that you would want to leave and hide with the others. I worry about you. Your the only sister i have and from the day you were born it was my job to protect you. Just because your grown now doesn’t stop that need to make sure your safe. I made a promise to dad at the funeral that i would look after you and Emmett. Even if i had to risk my life to do so.”

“Peter i understand that need. I wouldn’t make you break your promise to dad. But you need to understand that i’m not a baby anymore and i have a right to fight for what is mine. I know that what were up against is beyond my power but that does not mean i have to stand by and let someone take it away from me. How would you feel if it were someone comin after Char.”

She had a point. I would go to the ends of the earth and walk the fires of hell to keep Char safe and with me.

“Point taken sister. Now can i ask you sumthin?”

“Sure Peter anything.”

“Are you feelin okay?”

“a little strange but yeah i feel okay. Why do you ask?”

“Well i have noticed some changes in you that shouldn’t be there as a human. Would you mind if the Doc gives you a once over just to calm my nerves?”

“If it will set your nerves to steady then fine the Doc can have a look see.”

“Arabella you know i love you right?”

“Oh Peter.”

She pulled me into a tight hug. Tighter then she should have been able to.

“Alright let’s get this checkup over with. I have a Doctor to pummel.” Peter chuckled.

“You be nice to him. We need him.”

“I won’t make any promises i can’t keep. Hey Doc could you come here a minute.”

We both knew that they all heard our conversation so it wasn’t as if it was a secret or anything. Soon the  Doc was standin next to us.

“What can i do for you?”

“Oh cut the crap Doc i know you all heard that little love scene now give her the once over so we can get this show on the road.” i said.

“Well then Peter you need to get the hell out of my room. You don’t need to see my goods.”

“Arabella i used to change your skinny white asses diapers don’t you go gettin all prissy on me.” i playfully replied.

A growl from down the hall made me change my mind.

“Oh hell. Fine i’m goin.”

I left the room so the Doc could look her over.

(Carlisle’s POV)

We had all heard the exchange between the two siblings. It was good that they were reconnecting. According to the Major we needed to be a united front against Maria. If there was fighting amongst us some one could get hurt, and it would most likely be Arabella.

Upon entering the room i could tell things were gonna be fine. But i was worried about Arabella also. I noticed the changes in her almost as soon as they happened. After she kicked Peter though is when my theory was confirmed.

“Mistress would you mind layin on the bed for me please.”

“Sure thing Doc.”

She striped to her undergarments and layed on the bed. I glanced quickly over her scartissue and noticed that it was bearly there. I leaned in closer and noticed a faint venom smell. It smelled like the Major. So he had helped heal her wounds. Of course he would, why would he let his mate suffer in pain when he could fix it. I began a complete exam. She was physically okay.

“Mistress would you mind squeezing my fingers as hard as you can.” she did as asked. Her strength has multiplied.

“close your eyes and tell me what you hear.”

Again as asked she closed her eyes. I began to hum so softly most vampires can bearly hear it.

“That is a lovely tune Doc. What is it may i ask.”

I was shocked. She should not have been able to hear that.

“It’s Edlewiess.”

“Could you teach me it sometime?”

“Sure.”

I decided to try one more thing. I whispered to Peter to go spill something in the kitchen. I heard as he got to the bottom floor and then the sound of something hitting the floor.

“Mistress what do you smell?”

“I smell that Peter just dumped sweet tea all over my kitchen floor and he had better clean it up before i come down there.”

Holy shit.

“Mistress i’m going to do an internal exam now an make sure you scars are healed correctly. Is that alright?”

The growling down the hall startled me.

“Oh Major hush. He is just makin sure that everything is alright. Go a head Doc and ignore the hothead for the moment.”

I did as was told. Everything seemed to be healed nicely. The Major’s venom had worked miracles. Then i found something that should not have been there. It was impossible there was no way that this could have happen. The Major must have felt my shock and was growling just outside the door to the room we were in.

“What is it Doc? You have got to be sendin some serious not so good vibes out if the Major is growlin at the door like a rabid wolf.”

“Mistress there is no way to say this but to tell it straight.”

“Well then spit it out.”

“Your Pregnant.”
