The Major And His Demon

Chapter 06:
The taking of Bella Swan
“Yes Bella. We would love to talk.” Alice responded, surprised to see her. She was trying to remember what had frightened her about Bella a few hours before. The Bella at the bar was definitely not the Bella standing in front of her.
Bella stepped in and looked at the four vampires.
“Would you two mind leaving? I kinda need to talk to Jasper and Alice alone. Please?”
“Sir, I don’t think this…”
“Leave Peter. We will be fine.” Jasper said. In a voice too quick for Bella to possibly hear he told Peter to prepare the bags in the other room and be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice.
Bella heard and understood every word.
“Bella it is so good to see you again. We thought you were dead. At least I did. I was so scared. Jasper never gave up hope.”
Bella shrugged. “Yeah, Victoria damn near killed me. What I told you Jasper was true. The family I have now saved me.”
“How did they save you Bella? What did they do to you?” Jasper asked softly.
“I would really rather not talk about it. Truthfully I don’t know. I just don’t feel like myself sometimes. I need answers from you though. About other things…”
“Answers to what Bella?” Alice asked. She wanted answers as well but it was enough that Bella seemed to be talking to them of her own free will. She had to keep her talking.
“I think I understand why Edward left. If he had turned me I would have known that I belonged with Jasper. Isn’t that so?”
“Yes. But how did you know that?” Jasper asked curiously. He wanted, no needed to know where she got her information from.
“I guess I just figured it out for myself. I mean if Edward was truly my soul mate or whatever, how could I be attracted to both of you? How could I have fallen in love with…”
“Angela? Yes, we know. She is how we found you. She tracked the number you called her from to this town.” Alice said with a grin.
“Yeah, well, I get it. Edward wanted me for a pet. And when you made your move to change me at the party, Jasper, he realized he could never keep me human. So he left. My question is why did you follow him? Both of you? You could have stayed.”
Jasper sighed. He would explain to her but he had no good reason.
“You were right Bella. Last night. I didn’t want to have to kill Edward because it would have upset Carlisle. We thought if we stayed away long enough you would have time to get over him, graduate school without any interference from us, and then we could come back to claim you. By that time, Edward would have been gone so long that he would have no legitimate claim on you. And he couldn’t harm you before we changed you. If we had stayed right away he would have attempted to harm you, possibly kill you to keep you from us. We made a mistake. I made a mistake. I should have not let my respect for Carlisle get in the way of claiming what was mine. I should have been confident that Aliec and I could protect you. But with his mind reading he was so sneaky. All it would have taken was a moment with you and you would have been dead.”
Bella looked up at Jasper with a confused look on her face.
“If I am yours, then what is she?” Bella asked pointing at Alice.
“She is my best friend, lover, and confidant. Alice is very special to me. And you know she is special to you. But you are my Mate. You are my everything. You are the one I can’t live without.”
“How did you stay away so long? If I am everything to you how were you able to stay away for so long?”
“It wasn’t easy. Alice helped me. I fought the urge to kill Edward Cullen every day.”
“I used to blame Edward for leaving me to be hunted by Victoria. For the deaths of my parents. I blamed all of you. But it was my fault. I never should have become involved with any of you.”
“You never had a choice Bella. We would have found each other eventually.” Alice said smiling slightly at her, hope in her heart that Bella may forgive the two of them.
Bella took a deep breath. “Jasper you should have taken me then. I wanted you so bad. Do you know how many nights I dreamed of you only to wake up frightened, hoping I didn’t moan your name in my sleep where Edward could here? I’m sorry Alice but its true.”
“You did moan my name. It drove Edward crazy. He was convinced I was seducing you.” Jasper grinned.
“Were you? How do I know you weren’t playing with my emotions? You like to do that.” Bella asked.
“Would I be here now if I was?”
“I suppose not. And what about you Alice? Are you willing to give me Jasper?”
“Yes Bella. You can have me as well if you want me. I may not be your mate but I love you.”
Bella sighed. “I miss Angela. No mating crap. No abandonment. Just the two of us, hiding with each other from the world under our covers. Laughing, loving…”
Bella looked up at Jasper with a tear in her eye.
“Jasper I hate to do this to you but you already know I can’t turn into a vampire. It doesn’t work for some reason. I remember you trying last night. I have a family here and I can’t leave them. I don’t want to leave them.”
“I can give you what they can Bella. I can turn you. I don’t know how but I can. I will find a way.”
“I don’t want it Jasper. A vampire killed my family. Why would I become one? Jasper, Alice, I love you both. Truthfully I never stopped even when I was so angry at you. But it isn’t meant to be. Not anymore.”
“I understand Bella.” Jasper responded. Alice looked at him in shock. He wasn’t giving up this easy was he?
Bella walked up and kissed Alice gently on her lips and smiled.
“I always wanted to do that. Goodbye.”
Bella turned and walked toward the door. She hadn’t made two steps before Jaspers hand was on her brachial point, pressing it lightly and making Bella drop. Alice caught her before she hit the floor. She looked up at Jasper.
“Let’s take her to the car. You ride with Peter. I am getting her out of here. We need to stop at a hardware store before she wakes up. I need chains. Whatever she turns into is going to come out probably when she wakes up. I need to restrain her. I need big chains and locks.”
Alice nodded and took her to the car. Jasper hopped in the already running car and took off. Peter behind him.
It was time to get out of here and call Carlisle. He would know what to do.
As he passed the city limit sign he never noticed Abe standing on the side of the road. Abe was covered in shadows in broad daylight. No one would have noticed him.
As the two vehicles sped out of town, Abe smiled. It happened just as his Master said. Lilly would be back. After she had completed his Lord’s work. They would miss her. But they wouldn’t be far behind. She was his sister, his lover, the one who made them all complete. They would always be with her. And truthfully Abe couldn’t wait to see the carnage she caused.
Unknown to Jasper, Bella heard every word he had said. She had passed out for approximately five seconds before she came too. But her eyes reminded closed. She was afraid the demon might try to take control, but it seemed satisfied. Perhaps even curious to see where this ride would take her. Bella fought back a smile while pretending to be asleep. She did not like the idea of being away from her family. But the possibility of having fun with Jasper and Alice was too good to pass up. Especially Jasper.
She knew Jasper was possessive. She knew this would be fun. She would play the game. And she would win. And before this was all over, she planned to fuck Jasper Whitlock. Even if it was the only time she would be able to do so.
Voltera, Italy
Aro was disturbed. A search for Felix turned up nothing. A search of the video camera system of the hotel showed Felix walking with a lovely brunette in a barely there dress. He entered the elevator with her. They traveled to the eighth floor and entered her room. Thirty minutes later a young dark haired man entered the room. Ten minutes after that, they both emerged, the woman wearing casual clothing. After checking the video system of the hotel while Alec kept the guard unaware, the three made their way to the room.
Walking in, they noticed the strong smell of sulfur and burnt fabric in the air. The strongest concentration was coming from the bed. The bed that currently had a hole in the mattress and box springs clean through to the floor. A hole in the shape of a 7 foot man. Ashes were at the bottom of the hole. Someone had burned Felix while he lay here. And it could only have been the slight girl that he had willingly accompanied to the room.
This was disturbing. The room was registered to a Lilith Crane. The room next to her was registered to a Frazier Crane. Both rooms paid for in cash. Copies of identification mysteriously lost. This was obviously a set up. But no one knew they would be at the hotel except for Carlisle Cullen. And he had only called Carlisle that day to set up a meeting. Aro had wanted to discuss partnerships in dealing with North American rogue nomads. Carlisle of course denied wanting anything to do with this. Aro did not touch Carlisle’s hand out of respect for his longtime friend. And he knew Carlisle had no designs on power. He had hoped a formal partnership with the coven may give him an edge in acquiring Edward Cullen’s services. Perhaps Jasper and Alice’s as well.
Aro now wished he had touched Carlisle’s hand.
Because the camera catching “Lilith and Frazier” outside the hotel showed them getting into a cab. It showed Carlisle Cullen calling out to the female. It showed the cab driving away leaving Carlisle Cullen staring at it.
Aro doubted Carlisle had a secret weapon. It just wasn’t his style. But Carlisle definitely knew who the girl was. And Aro wanted to know who and what she was.
“Master Aro.”
“Yes Demetri?”
“Our contact in the American FBI just called. The facial recognition software came up with a hit. The girl is Isabella Swan.”
“And who is Isabella Swan?”
“She is an eighteen year old female wanted in connection with her father’s murder.”
This gets better and better. Apparently the girl does not limit herself to killing vampires.
“So I suppose she is, in the wind, as the American’s say?”
“Yes Master. But you may find this interesting. Her last residence, the township where she is wanted for questioning in her father’s murder? It is Forks, Washington.”
Yes. Yes that was very interesting.
“When was her father murdered?”
“January of this year Master.”
Carlisle would have been gone by that time. His family left the previous September and moved to New York. At least that is what he told Aro.
But one thing was certain. Carlisle Cullen knew this girl. He most likely knew what she was. And Aro was going to find her. If she was a threat, as she appeared to be, Aro would destroy her. And if Carlisle Cullen was involved in the attack on his guard, he would destroy his entire family.
“Would you like me to prepare the jet for New York, Master?”
“No, send Afton. He is near the area, I believe in Boston. Tell him to observe but not engage. If I approach Carlisle now he can warn the girl. I want to know if she shows up at his residence. Then we will have a visit.”
Carlisle Cullen was a nervous vampire. He was constantly worried. Worried about his family’s safety. Worried about Bella. He had called a friend in Forks and inquired about her whereabouts. He was shocked to learn about her father. Shocked to learn about her mother. And even more shocked to find out that she had been missing since the night of her father’s murder and wanted for questioning in his death. Local theories had it that she met a boyfriend, who had killed both her mother and father at her instruction. Anyone who knew Bella knew this was a ridiculous notion. But still. She did disappear without a trace. Her truck disappeared. There was no luggage found in the wreckage of the house. He knew Bella didn’t kill Charlie. He knew she would never have someone do it for her. She loved her parents. That meant someone did it and took her, or she left in a hurry.
He had no word from Edward since he left. No word from Jasper or Alice. He was a very worried man. The phone rang in his study. He saw the caller ID identified one Jasper Hale.
“Hello Jasper. I assume since you are calling, that he is dead?” Carlisle sighed.
“Who is dead Carlisle?” This was a surprise, Jasper thought.
“Edward.”
“Edward? If Edward is dead this is the first I’m hearing of it. I haven’t seen him.”
Jasper would not lie about this. He would be honest with Carlisle.
“Why do you think I would kill Edward? I haven’t seen him.”
“I haven’t heard a word from him since he left to go look for you and Alice. He assumed you went after Bella. And if you had changed her he was prepared to fight you. Everyone knows how that would have ended. Since I had not heard from him I was afraid he did something stupid and you had to kill him.”
“Sorry to disappoint you Carlisle. Haven’t seen him. But I do have someone with me I could use some help with.”
“Who would that be Jasper?” Carlisle asked, curiosity peaking.
“Bella.” Carlisle felt the beginnings of excitement in his heart. Jasper had found her. He would finally have his daughter. And she would be a vampire as it was meant to be.
“Has she completed the change? Is she having difficulty with blood lust?”
“Uh no, not exactly. I haven’t changed her yet.”
“What the hell are you waiting for son? Bite her before Edward finds you and tries to kill her or worse. You know he would rather see her dead than be with you!”
“Oh yeah, about that. See I bit her already. She just ain’t changing Carlisle.”
That was impossible. Jasper could hear the disbelief in Carlisle’s next words.
“You bit her and she didn’t turn. That’s not possible Jasper. Try again.”
“I don’t think it will help.”
“Can I talk to her?”
“Uh, she is kinda tied up at the moment. Chained up to be more precise.”
“What the hell are you doing Jasper? Turn her! There is no reason to treat her as a captive. Unchain her now.”
Jasper looked in the seat next to him. He needed to get a bigger car than this damn Porsche. Something with a back seat. He also had to constantly run the defroster due to the ice buildup on the front windshield. Ice frozen on the inside. The seats were solid ice. Icicles hung from the dash to the floor. Jasper was concerned about what this would do to the strength of the chains. Bella had not woken up since he knocked her out and this was a concern as well.
“Carlisle I don’t think that would be such a good idea. Listen, we are heading to a place in Oregon. We need forest and isolation. Peter has a house in the middle of nowhere. A cabin actually. I am going to text you the GPS coordinates. How soon can you come?”
“What is wrong with Bella, Jasper?”
Jasper took a deep breath. Letting it out he saw even his cold breath was visible in the interior of the car.
“Carlisle, what do you know about demon possession?”
“I’m on my way. Text me the coordinates.”
Bella listened to the conversation next to Jasper. She was having so much fun making the windows freeze. She kept her eyes closed but soon she would have to open them. Then they could talk. She wondered briefly if she should keep the chains on. They were kind of kinky. She always did like being tied up. But she didn’t want to give him too much confidence. She opened her eyes and sat up straighter.
“Oregon huh?”
For a vampire, Jasper did a poor job of hiding the surprise on his face.
“Shit Bella! I was getting worried about you.”
“Did I stay asleep longer than you would have liked after you knocked me out?” Bella smiled.
“Yes, you could say that. I’m sorry…”
“For kidnapping me? Don’t lie Jasper. Sorry means you wish you hadn’t done it and we both know you would do it again. I want my family, Jasper. Take me back.”
“No.”
“No?” Bella asked raising an eyebrow.
“No.” Jasper responded grinning at her.
“You still want me? After seeing what I am? The way I acted last night? I acted like a whore!”
“I know who you are Bella. What is inside you may be a mystery but I definitely know who you are.”
“Do you want me to suck your cock?”
The look on Jasper’s face was priceless. Bella burst out in laughter.
“Oh damn! You should have seen your face! That was great!”
“Not funny, Bella.” Okay, Jasper admitted to himself. It was a little funny.
“Look if you don’t want a blowjob then you should know I only like to be chained up when having sex. And only some of the time. So if you don’t mind…”
Jasper watched as the chains fell off her arms and legs, the locks seeming to melt off. Bella shook them off and ran her fingers through her hair.
“How did you do that Bella?”
“A girl never tells her secrets Jasper.” Bella smiled and blushed slightly. This was the first blush he had seen on her since they found her. She used to blush all the time.
“Bella are you the reason there is ice in the cab of the car?”
“Yes, probably. It happens sometimes.”
“Could you make it stop?”
“Maybe…”
“Would you please do so then?”
“I will think about it. But you have to do something for me first.”
“And what is that?” Jasper asked, thinking it would be some sexual act.
“I want you to tell me what it felt like the first time you killed a man. I mean as a human. I want all the details. I want all the gory details. You tell me that Jasper Whitlock and I may turn up the temperature.”
Jasper was speechless. He was not expecting that.
“It wasn’t that long ago Jasper. What’s a hundred or so years?”
“I… my human memories are kind of fuzzy Bella.”
“Tell me Jasper. Please?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“I want to know you. I know the good things about you. I want to know everything.”
“Okay. I don’t know his name. He was a union scout. He had been tracking my troops movements around what would be Pasadena now. East of Houston in the bog.
I doubled back from my troops and stayed in cover all night. He came the next day. I jumped out in front of him and fired, hoping to shoot him off his horse. He fell as I expected and then hit the ground hard. His horse took off.
I had been up all night. I don’t know how I missed that closely. But I did. When I approached his body, he jumped me. We fought on the ground. He wound up on top of me. He pulled a knife out of his boot and swung down. I stopped his arm inches from the knife point hitting my face. He had been up all night as well. He was a strong man. But I was not going to die that day. I twisted his arm. He used his weight to try to drive the knife into me and I slid to the side and rolled. I was on top of him and I found the knife in my hands. He thought I was going for his face so he threw his hands up. I stabbed him between the ribs. I twisted the knife and could feel it cutting his heart to shreds. I was so jacked up, I didn’t have time to think about it. We looked into each other’s eyes. Neither one of us believing what happened. He couldn’t have been any older than I was. I pulled the knife out of him. Blood was coming up from his mouth and pouring out of his side. I stayed there, straddled over his waist watching him die. I knew the moment he did. His eyes. The life went out of his eyes.”
“Wow.” Bella whispered.
“Yeah, wow. I vomited that night. Before I went to sleep I threw up. I had killed a man. I had nearly been killed. But I went with the intention of killing him. It was supposed to be simple. I stepped out, shot him and left. Things got messy though.”
“Thank you Jasper.”
Instantly the temperature in the car went back to normal. The ice had been there. The seats and dash were soaking wet. Except Bella’s seat. Jasper could feel his jeans getting soaked.
“You can control that?”
Bella shrugged her shoulders.
“I don’t know. Maybe.”
“Bella tell me what happened.”
“Not now. I guess from your phone call, Carlisle is coming.”
“Yes.”
“Then there is no point in talking about it now only to tell him about it later.”
“Okay. Well we have quite a drive ahead of us. What would you like to talk about.”
“Tell me why you love me.”
“What?”
“Tell me why you love me. You’re the big bad vampire walking around saying I am yours and get your hands off my mate, grrrrr…”
Jasper laughed. “I do not sound like that.”
“Whatever. But seriously. You say I’m your mate. You have never once said if you loved me. It matters you know. Why should I fight to be with you if you don’t even love me? Alice even said she loved me. Is that beneath you? Feelings? Because it would kind of be very ironic if it was.”
“It’s not that it is beneath me Bella. I just don’t want to make you uncomfortable. It seems the whole time I have known you I have had to repress my feelings. It’s kind of a new thing.”
“So do you love me?”
Jasper stared into her big brown eyes.
“I have loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. Yes Bella, I love you.”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Yeah, what was so special about me? I’m just an ordinary teenage clumsy girl. My breasts aren’t exceptionally large. I don’t have a supermodel body. So why? The whole mating thing?”
“No, it has more to do with you. You looked at me from the start and you were never afraid. You have courage and you arent afraid to love. And you have a great body. Your breasts are perfect. And you aren’t ordinary. You are far from ordinary.” Jasper winked at her.
“I like your hair.”
“What?”
“Your hair. It’s much better than Edwards. You have a nice ass too. Not that anybody could tell if you didn’t look hard enough. Always wearing those clothes Alice hid you in. You look much better like this.”
“Thanks.” Having this talk with her was a dream come true. He wanted this for so long. He had been so jealous. Jasper could almost forget the nightmare of the night before. Almost. But it was still there.
“So tell me what everyone has been doing.”
“Who?”
Bella rolled her eyes.
“The Cullens, idiot.”
“It hasn’t been pretty. Esme is a wreck. She sobs most of the time when she thinks no one is listening. Edward left the family for a long time. It was nice. Carlisle told me on the phone that he Edward is now looking for Alice and I. He says he is going to kill me if I change you.”
“Wow. You must be scared.” Bella said with a look of horror on her face. Then she laughed.
“You don’t think I should be huh?”
“You aren’t. I mean they don’t call you the God of War for nothing, I imagine.”
Jasper froze.
“Bella, who told you I was once called the God of War?”
Bella shrugged her shoulders.
“I don’t know.” She looked confused. “It must have been someone at school.”
“You mean someone at Forks High School?”
“Yeah I think it was Mike Newton. Or no, it was Ben. Yeah it must have been Ben Cheney who told me. I’m pretty sure. But it could have been Mike.”
Jasper decided not to push the issue as Bella did not seem inclined to go into detail and was staring out the passenger side window. He would get answers eventually. But he was afraid he may not like the answers he got.
The rest of the trip was fun. Bella was the same funny slightly sarcastic girl she had always been. She slept. They stopped to eat. Jasper and Alice took turns sitting with her while they each hunted. Peter refused to hunt. Jasper was worried. He needed to eat. Peter actually told Jasper he was considering eating animals. Whatever the hell it was that Peter saw, scared the hell out of him. He still didn’t look right. His eyes were strange. Wary. They arrived at the cabin in Oregon in the morning. Jasper gently woke Bella up by brushing her hair with his hand. Carlisle was already there waiting for them.
Jasper opened the door and Bella stood stretching her legs. Then she saw Carlisle. Jasper wasn’t sure what to expect. She had said nothing but nice things about Emmett, Esme and Carlisle. She didn’t talk about Rose and Edward much. He was relieved to see Bella smiling at Carlisle.
Carlisle smiled and whispered her name. Bella ran towards him and he opened his arms.
It seemed like it happened in slow motion. Bella reached Carlisle and he had his hands open. Then she changed. From behind all Jasper and Alice could see was her hair turn dark, blood red. She grabbed Carlisle by the neck and slammed him to the ground. Stepping on his chest she looked down on him and grinned. Jasper and Alice moved around to see her. Peter and Charlotte stayed back. Her face looked human but she had deep slashes across her face. Almost like knife wounds. They were bleeding. Blood was dripping on Carlisle.
It wasn’t her voice that came out next. It was the voice of a little girl. We all stood there too stunned to do anything but watch.
“Hello big brother. Pater tuus dicat salve ab inferno. Did vos scire erat stupri vester parvulus, soror?”
Jasper and Alice snapped out of their trances first. Bella never made a move. Just stood over Carlisle while blood dripped from her face onto his. They ran to her. Alice grabbed her around her waist and Jasper pulled her back by her shoulders. Bella collapsed in their arms. Her face was normal. But Carlisle’s face was still covered in blood.
“Bella? Bella? Carlisle do something!” Jasper said in a panic.
“She is breathing Jasper. Take her inside and lay her down on the bed. And if you have any rope in that truck get it. We are going to need it.”

“Your father says hello from hell. Did you know he was f*# #ing your little sister?”
For those wondering, I am not going to kill Edward off in this story. No I have something much worse planned for him this time 😉
