The Human Strikes Back

Chapter 11:

BPOV

Okay, the moment of truth. Honestly this wasn’t a bad thing. I could finally unburden myself to Jason and we could be completely honest with each other.

“Alright baby but you have to promise not to comment till the end. It’s kind of a long story and there are still some things I can’t talk about because they are not my secrets to tell.” I explained.

“Oh you mean the big fucking wolves? Yeah I plan to talk to Sam about that later. The wolves are actually what my team was in the area trying to figure out. This area is a black hole for vamps. We knew there were extremely hot spots moving in a swarm towards the vamps and then the cold spots or vamps turned into a hot spot and disappeared. When you told me that you wanted to come here I mentioned it to the team and they decided this was as good a time as any to visit and do a little informal digging.”

I don’t know why I was surprised he knew about the wolves. Oh well.

“Okay it all started my first day at Forks high.” And I told him everything. I told him about falling in love. I told him about James and Victoria and Laurent. I told him about Edward leaving and meeting the wolves (since he already knew). I told him about the newborn war and me leaving afterward. I told him everything, imprinting, love triangles and all. Now I sat back and waited for the fall out. How would the man that has changed my life take the truth about my life. “So that’s it…” silence “Baby?”

Jason’s visor came down and the helmet receded into the rest of his armor. Okay that was kind of cool. Kind of like Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man cool.

“Huh, how bout that?”

More silence.

“That’s it? That’s all you have to say?”

“Well darling you gotta admit it’s a lot to take in. I mean I thought I had an interestin life but I ain’t got shit on you girl.”

“So that bite on your wrist is a real, live vampire bite huh?”

“Yes, what did you think it was?” I asked, curious.

“Honestly I figured you may have got it from an ex or something. I mean come on darling, we are into some crazy things sometimes…”

“Do you mind?” GQ asked.

“Not at all. If you don’t like it get the hell out of my head, asshole. “

I heard laughter from both Rosalie and Emmett.

“I like him Bells.” Emmett said.

“So that’s where all these ideas for your books comes from?” Jason asked.

“Yep” I didn’t pop the P this time. Wasn’t in the mood.

“I have some questions.”

“I’d be worried if you didn’t.”

“These Volturi are the Vampire Police right? And they are at war with the Romanians? So I don’t have to worry about them coming after you anytime soon?”

Alice took this one. “I have been watching them and they have no plans in the near future that I can see.”

“But your visions are subjective if I understand right. Somebody could decide at a moment’s notice and you wouldn’t have much reaction time.”

“Yes that’s true.”

“Baby what were you planning on doing if they came after you?”

“Alice would give me a heads up and I would run as far away from anyone I knew and then wait.”

“You would have let them kill you?”

“Yes.”

“You would have left me?”

“Yes, to keep them from finding you. Yes.”

“Okay.” Okay? I figured he would have been jumping up and down screaming for being so foolish.

Edward spoke up.” Okay? How the hell can you say that would have been okay? You would let her run off to die?”

“Calm down GQ. Of course I don’t want her to run off and die you dumbass. But I’m not surprised that she would do so. It’s what I would do in her situation. And for your information I don’t let her do anything. She is her own woman who I get to share my life with, not some damn possession.”

This is why I loved this man.

“Why did you fall apart when GQ left you? Did he put some kinda vamp spell on you that went haywire when he left or what? Cause the woman I know would never go crazy over a break up.”

“I used to go a little overboard with my feelings. I was a shy girl who had been accepted into this world I knew nothing about by a family of beautiful supernatural beings. And one day it was all gone.”

“Understandable I suppose.” Jason said. He went on.

“Now let’s get back to the Volturi. We know about the Volturi but have been unable to do anything about them. American citizens have been the main course at some of their tourist feedings they hold every couple of weeks. We have the layout of the castle. We have a general idea of how many vamps we are talking about. Unfortunately the Italian government won’t look too kindly on us dropping a couple MOABs into the castle and staging the biggest boiler explosion in history. And we can’t stage an assault because there are only 6 of us in total. The equipment we would need to wipe them out and the manpower simply can’t be used in Italy. How would you feel about being bait darling?”

“Are you out of your mind! Edward shouted.

“GQ I’m not gonna tell you again to chill out. I would rather face these things head on at a time and place of my choosing than sit back and wait for the woman I love to be attacked one day out of nowhere.”

“So what about it mama? You want to help daddy kick some Italian ass?”

Holy crap. For the first time in my life someone was giving me an opportunity to help myself. Jason wasn’t protecting me as much as asking me to help him protect myself. I knew after listening to my story he would understand now why I hated being looked after .

“There is no way Bella will be a part of this. We will help you with anything you need” I heard Edward say. He really doesn’t get me.

“Actually you are going to lure them in and then stay out of it. Bella and my team have been trained by me and that’s going to be the first line. My contacts in the military and CIA black op teams are going to be my second. I’m going to get these wolves to be a fall back in case by some chance the Volturi get past us. They won’t all come. Just enough to get the job done. We can pick them apart in waves as they come. Nostradamus here should be able to give us a good idea how many they are and the route they will come. They will never know what hit them. You guys are the third wave. You stay out of it unless I need you.”

I’m the first wave. I get to be the first wave. I may die doing this but it will be worth it to kill something that wants me dead first.

“Bella doesn’t have a suit. Are you going to have one made for her?” I heard Rosalie ask. Please let me have a suit. At first I thought they were kind of dorky looking but they are starting to grow on me.

“Unfortunately we don’t have another suit. And before you ask, No I can’t talk about it. But we do have rifles and darling here has a talent for sniping.

The Cullens all looked at me in shock. Yeah that’s right, little Bella Swan can kick some ass. From a long ways away at that.

“Baby I would love to be the bait on your line. So what’s the plan?”

“First talk to the wolves, then Carlisle makes a phone call to Italy. But we aren’t doing any fighting until after the Holidays. I promised you a holiday and you are going to get one. Besides I’m gonna have to coordinate with my boss and let him know the situation.”

Uh Oh. “Jason is it going to be a problem about the Cullens? You won’t be ordered to kill them will you?”

I heard a snort. Jasper. A chuckle, Emmett. I am glad Jason knows my secrets and seems to be okay with this but still.

“No darlin, I don’t go after nobody I don’t want to if they aren’t a threat to national security. The government may not be that happy about you guys going to school over and over again and exposing unsuspecting teenagers to your world, even if it’s indirectly, but I think we can all appreciate Dr. Fang’s efforts on behalf of the human race. The Wolves would do us no good if the government started digging around. From what you have told me, their ability comes from magic and scientists can’t exactly study ancient Native American magic. I will make sure your friends are safe darlin. At least from the US government. Not to say the government may not call on you all to help out occasionally. As far as you, there wasn’t a whole lot to stop you from finding out. But since the main secret is the existence of vampires and everybody here knows about them anyway I don’t see a problem.

“Sue and Dad know too.”

“Is there anybody here who doesn’t know?”

Hmmm, better think about this before I answer. ” I think that’s about it.”

“Okay well this has been a stressful day for us all. I apologize for blowing up your door, breaking your windows and threatening the missus over here. I meant nothing personal by it. I promise if I have to threaten any of you again it will be GQ over there.

I was glad to get out of here. I needed some alone time with my man. I also wanted to talk about his plan to take out the Volturi without comments from the peanut gallery. Edward was glaring at Jason and I had an idea of just what Jason was thinking about. It was definitely time to get home. I was pretty sure Dad was at work and Sue was probably back in La Push, even though it seemed like she was always at my dads. Time to break some house rules again.
