Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Human Strikes Back

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 23:

Edwin’s POV

I walked into the house to a distraught Alice. She was apparently upset that there was something she didn’t see. But with the wolves involved in so many of our decisions and Bella becoming harder to see that is not surprising.

“What’s going on Alice?”

“The Volturi sent humans to follow Bella. When they saw that she had a boyfriend they sent more humans and ordered Jason killed.”

“Is Bella okay?”

“Yes the girl she was with killed the humans. Edward she killed them all with a sword . Isn’t that weird?”

“Yes will she is a strange girl. I don’t suppose you’re upset because Jason is dead?”

“EDWARD!” Esme yelled.

“For your information bro, Jason is fine. He killed all four of the guys following him. Didn’t even break a sweat.” Emmett joined in.

“Did he kill them with a sword too?” I asked, curious.

Carlisle answered. “From what I understand Jason slit one of their throats after getting the information he wanted and shot the other three in the head before they could raise their guns.”

“I guess those exploits I thought were embellished weren’t so embellished after all.” Jasper added.

I’m ashamed my relief at Bella being okay was followed by a hope that Jason was out of the way. It was in that moment that I realized I would never be able to let her go completely. Maybe not at all. I love her. I want her happy. He makes her happy. I wished he was dead. I guess I am a monster. A selfish monster. But I was slowly beginning to come to accept that. I’m not as altruistic as I thought I was. Especially when it comes to my love.

“Edward what are you thinking?” Rosalie asked.

“Nothing of importance. I’m relieved Jason is okay. Bella would be very upset if anything happened to him.”

“Yeah sure that’s what you were thinking Edward. That’s why you had that annoyed look on your face. Leave Bella alone Edward. She doesn’t want you.” Rosalie said.

Maybe not now, but she wanted me once before. A lot can happen over the next few months.

Jacob POV

I came home from patrol to find Charlie pacing in my living room. Quil and Embry were sitting on the couch and my dad was talking to Charlie.

“Charlie relax it all worked out.”

“Relax? She could have been killed. By humans none the less! I could have lost her. Both of them.”

“Wait what the hell happened?” I demanded.

Quil answered. “Jason picked up a tail on the way home. He led them to the woods and killed 4 guys. One with a knife. He found out Bella was being watched and called the girl, Serenity, who killed those 4 guys with a sword!” The grin on Quil’s face was disturbing.

“Who were they?”

Embry replied. “Apparently the Volturi decided to send humans around Forks to spy on Bella. They saw she had a boyfriend and called in and were ordered to kill him. They obviously didn’t know who they were fucking with. Sam smelt blood after Jason had finished them and well let’s just say it was a quick death. He sliced one’s neck and shot the other three in the head before they could even raise the guns in their hands.”

Shit.

“So Charlie why are you freaking out?” I asked.

“I guess it just hit me that this was real. The other night I knew Bella was in danger and Jason for that matter but it was vampires. I mean it seemed kinda abstract if you catch my drift. But today knowing humans were after her. That just makes it more real. And while that Serenity girl was busy taking a knife to a gunfight, Bella was behind the window with a gun in her hand ready to shoot if anything happened to the girl. I never wanted this for my baby girl.”

“I don’t know if you noticed Charlie but your baby girl is kinda a woman now and one that is capable of inflicting a lot of damage.” I pointed out.

“No shit Charlie. I thought she was hot at 18. This Bella rocks. I can’t get her off my mind!” Quil added in.

Quil really needs to learn not to talk. Ever. Charlie just stared at him while his face turned purple.

“I think I need to go now.” Quil said standing up. Genius.

BPOV

I rushed him when he got home. I jumped up on him and wrapped my legs around his waste and buried my head in his neck.

I had tears in my eyes when he let me down. “I was so worried about you when I found out. Did they hurt you?

“Darlin I’m fine. I appreciate your worry though. The guys were Italians mobsters. Not exactly trained for the woodland combat. It was a good exercise. Now we know to look for Renfields as well as Draculas. It was a good day. We all lived, the bad guys died. The cleanup team took care of the nasty work. Although they weren’t thrilled with Serenity’s job. Too many pieces to find. That girl really goes overboard sometimes.”

“I tried to cover her but she moved so fast. She stabbed the driver, flipped over the car, stabbed the passenger and as the two in the backseat were getting out she cut off their gun arms and heads. I’ve never seen anything like it, even in movies.” I told him.

“Yeah she’s something else. Now we need to make another call. I don’t think Aro is expecting the mob guys back. But he will expect them to succeed in killing me. How good are you at playing a grieving girlfriend?”

JPOV

We drove up to the Cullen’s house and was again greeted by Esme and Alice on the front porch.

“Jason I’m so sorry I didn’t see this coming.” Alice apologized.

“No worries little one. I’m betting someone else made the choice, maybe like Jane, and sent the mobsters after us. No harm no foul. Is Carlisle here?”

“Yes Jason I am.”

Freaky vamp speed.

“Carlisle we need to borrow your phone. It’s time to send another message to Aro.”

“Of course. Do you think this is a good idea?”

“I wouldn’t be suggesting it if I didn’t”

Carlisle dialed the number and handed the phone to Bella.

“Hello old friend.”

“This is Bella you son of a bitch. This was between us. You had him killed!”

“Bella this is between you, me and the Cullens and anyone you come into contact with. I hope you weren’t too fond of him.” Aro chuckled.

“Aro I never pegged you for a coward. Afraid to come get me on my own with your precious guard. I swear by all that is Holy, Aro, you will die soon. The Cullens will be joining the Romanians and I will laugh over your ashes.”

“Bella I was going to give you a quick death after I made you watch your Cullens burn. Now I think I will turn you and make you my whore for eternity. I like your spirit.”

“Come and try it bitch” Bella ended the call and turned and smiled at me.” If that doesn’t get him down here I have no idea what will.”

“Do you think that was…”

“Edward shut the fuck up! If you cant take it go to Denali! But do not second guess me or Jason again!”

“Guess that is goodbye folks. Thanks for the use of the phone Carlisle.”

The look on GQ’s face was priceless.
