Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Human Strikes Back

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 19:

Carlisle POV

“It’s time Carlisle. Make the call.” Jason decided.

I knew my family would have to face the music for leaving Isabella human. I honestly thought we would have to become servants to the Volturi. Now we had a chance to do something about it. A chance to defeat the Volturi. I admit I was impressed with the plan. I could understand, hearing the details of the battleplan why Jason doesn’t want us close to the field. At first I was a bit offended, thinking he didn’t trust us. He explained to me that he knows we have already risked our lives for Bella once and he knows he can trust us. Because of that he doesn’t want us anywhere near what he called Vampire Hell.

It’s a shame it has come to this. But the Volturi must go if my family, Bella included, is going to survive. To say I was proud of the young woman Bella has become is an understatement. As much as I hate to admit it she has flourished without Edward, while Edward has not flourished as much. At all. The blessing and the curse of never growing old is the time to get over things and the time you have to live with them. I think this is the former for Edward.

I picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

“Carlisle my old friend how are you?”

“I am good Aro. How are you?”

“I am in the middle of a war Carlisle. But one I am confident that I will win.”

“That is actually why I wanted to call you. I have a proposition you may be interested in. Edward’s mate has decided she does not want to become a vampire after all. However I would rather have her turned than kill her. I don’t want to force her to do it because I want her a part of my family. I need you to do it Aro.”

“Interesting. And why should I clean up your mess Carlisle?”

“Should you send a contingent of vampires to turn her she will not know we were involved. I will tell her when she awakens that the Volturi turned her and that we must help you in a war as punishment for not turning her sooner. She will be reliant on my family and Edward for support. For doing this for us, my family will travel to Italy and stay and assist you until the war is over, no matter how long it takes.”

“This is an interesting proposition Carlisle. Let me discuss it with my brothers and I will get back to you.”

With the call ended all that was left was to sit back and wait. At that moment Alice came in.

“Aro decided before he hung up the phone. He will call back tomorrow to agree and send Afton and Felix here. They will be here on Friday. They are going to die. The plan will work as it is now.”

“Wow Alice that’s a pretty good vision you just had. You seem confident.” Jason said.

“I am.”

“Good to know. Felix is just big right? And Afton does he have any powers?” Jason asked.

“Felix is very strong, even for a vampire and Afton has no powers that I know of. They will leave their gifted vampires in Italy for the time being. It will take a lot of motivation to get Aro to leave Italy in the middle of a war.” I pointed out to Jason.

“Then we will have to give him a lot motivation. I was hoping there were more vampires coming but 2 of them will suffice. This is only the opening salvo. I am headed to the ops center. Let’s get everybody there tonight at 8 and let them know the plan is in action.

With that I left and went to find my baby. I arrived at Charlie’s and heard the machine gun fire of her fingers on the keyboard. I walked up behind her as she was seated and wrapped my arms around her. I heard her sigh contentedly.

“I got some news darlin. The call has been made and the decision has been made by Aro. Felix and Afton are coming Friday to turn you. And we will be waiting.”

” I thought you wanted to wait till February?” she asked.

“I thought you wanted to get home.”

“I do.”

“Great, I will get Sere to start working with you and the armor tomorrow morning. Don’t make any plans. I want you practicing all day. I will be there as well.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

I noticed her usual fire didn’t seem to be present. I may not be a werewolf who could feel his imprints emotions but I know my woman.

“Whats the Situation Swan? You nervous or what?”

“I guess I am. Its getting real. Is this what you feel everytime you go on a mission?”

“Focus on meditation this week. Focus on your job, your weapons and know that I am with you. I will be in the closet, Animal will be under the bed, you will be armed, The Cullens and the Wolves will be outside. They aren’t getting you and you and I will kill them. Animal is actually goin to shoot first. Take out there legs and start the burn while I come out and shoot the one closest to me and you get the one closest to you. Just remember when I say now to pop the helmet up and keep your hair as close to your head as you can.”

“Sounds like a piece of cake” she mused.

“Darlin a normal person could never pull this off, but you are one tough mean bitch and you’re my tough mean bitch. I wouldn’t try this with anyone else but I have confidence in you.”

I saw the fire get back in her eyes. “Thanks babe, I needed that. Time to get ready to show these sons of bitches whose boss. What do you say we start right now. I need to go shoot.”
