Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Major And His Demon

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 10:

Explanations

The Cullens and Peter and Charlotte looked around at each other, not saying a word, sitting on chairs in a circle with Bella in the middle.

“Okay, first things first. Esme?”

Esme looked up at Bella with a wary look.

“Yes Bella?”

“You are not my mother. My mother is dead.”

“Yes Bella.”

Bella sighed. “But that’s not to say we can’t be friends one day. I realize the thought of what I made you do is disturbing you. Consider it a lesson in the past coming back to bite you in the ass. But I believe the lesson has been learned. But I will give you a new memory. One that you won’t forget. You are not my mother. Mother’s don’t abandon their children.”

Bella walked over to Esme and kneeled in front of her. Carlisle prepared to defend his Mate. Jasper looked at him and shook his head.

Bella placed her hand on Esme’s forehead.

“The memory of what we did is gone now. No one in this room will ever mention it and you will never remember it. Do you understand?”

“Yes Bella.” Esme suddenly smiled. She hugged Bella before the girl could move.

“I’m so sorry for leaving, Bella. I love you.”

“I know Esme. It will be okay.” Bella responded, returning her hug.

Bella stood back up and addressed the assembled vampires.

“There is one overriding thing you need to know and understand. Predators cannot police predators. The vampire world has foolishly given authority to corrupt and truly evil men, even by vampire standards. So this is going to stop. The Volturi will be no more.”

No one in the gathered assembly said anything. Finally Jasper spoke up.

“Bella I realize you have some strange powers. But we are talking about the Volturi here. The most powerful collection of vampires on earth, and you are still human.”

“I am not afraid of anything on this earth and I am still very much human. Are you afraid, God of War?”

“I fear nothing. I just want you to understand you will not be facing them alone. I will be there. And I will destroy them with you.”

“Bella, what are you?” Carlisle asked quietly.

“I think I will let my brother tell you.”

“And who is…” Carlisle stopped speaking when he heard a knock on the door. No one had heard anyone walk up. Suddenly they could all hear a heartbeat outside.

Bella walked over to the door with a smile on her face. She opened the door and Abe was standing there, wearing a pair of faded jeans, tan leather cowboy boots and a T shirt from some metal band that read Cowboys from Hell.

Jasper had a feeling this was appropriate. He was waiting for the rest of the band to come in but it appeared Abe was alone. Abe wrapped his arms around Bell’s waist. She wrapped her arms around his head and they kissed deeply. Jasper felt his anger rise immediately. He was touching Jasper’s Mate.

He ran to Bella and pulled her back by the waste and took her to the other side of the room.

“MINE!”

Abe smiled. “You may have to learn to share son if you plan to be around our family. And if you want Lilly you are going to have to be around us. Because she isn’t going anywhere.”

“The hell she isn’t! You can’t be killed? I will burn you to ashes and mix you in he dust. Let’s see you recover from that.” Jasper had tucked Bella behind him and was glaring at the newcomer.

“It wouldn’t get that far. I don’t burn.” Abe responded grinning.

“Why don’t you sit down Jasper and all will be explained.” Bella suggested.

“You are coming with me.” Jasper lifted Bella and placed her on his lap in an armchair.

Abe rolled his eyes and Bella laughed.

“You always do attract the possessive ones don’t you?” He asked her smiling. Jasper lightly growled.

Bella shrugged. “I can’t help it I guess.”

“Could you please tell us who the fuck you are?” Emmett asked. Esme didn’t even correct his language.

“Sure can. That’s why I am here. It is time for Bella and I to tell you what your parts are in this.”

Abe sat down in an open chair. Behind him the fireplace lit on fire causing the Cullens to jump.

“1890. My brothers and sisters lived on the land that now comprises the Ranch outside Sonora Texas. We lived separately at the time of course. We had wives and husbands, children. It was a good life if somewhat tough. There were 36 of us living in the area plus 12 kids ranging from 4 to 14 years old. I had two children and a wife myself.

Life was good until one night just after twilight. They came. Vampires. We didn’t know what they were at the time. They were pale individuals, nothing special about them. And they were led by a beautiful Mexican lady by the name of Maria. She walked into town with six of them behind her. I suppose you were off somewhere Jasper.” Abe said looking at the famous Major of Maria’s army.

“She asked if they could eat. We had all gathered in the small town square that night preparing for a small dance. We of course offered hospitality. She took hospitality. She took all we had. They started with the children. We tried to beat them off but we couldn’t obviously. What good could a human do against a vampire?

Soon we were down to 12 of us. 6 males and 6 females. I was not a pastor but I served as a minister of sorts in our small worship house. It wasn’t a church exactly but we did have Bible study there. We ran to the building hoping the monsters would be unable to follow us. But they did. We heard them outside the doors laughing at us. One of them threw my wife’s body through the window, where it landed at my feet. We prayed to God. We prayed asking for help. For a miracle. And then time slowed down.

It wasn’t God who answered. I saw my Master for the first time. He was a demon. That much was obvious, even to poor country folk like us. He appeared in front of us in the form of a tall solid shadowy man. He was solid black, even his eyes. He had horns. He smiled and we saw red inside his mouth.

He offered us something we had not had that night. He offered us power. All we had to do was become the host for twelve demons. Twelve demons under his control who answered only to him. They would merge with our souls. They would make us immortal. We would be indestructible. All we had to do was kill vampires. The vampires that had become too evil for this world. The vampires who attacked us. Men who were evil in life were usually the worst vampires. The ones who went from mere predatory vampires to savage sadistic monsters of nightmares. They cheated Hell and Hell wanted them back. Once the demons merged with our souls though we would be one with the demon forever. There was no turning back. No second chances. We would walk the earth for eternity, unable to die, serving our Master, living with our demons.

We all were shocked. We were angry, we were scared. We listened to the laughter of the vampires outside. Apparently they had their fill and decided to set the building on fire. I was the first to agree to the Master’s offer. The others followed behind me. A pentagram appeared on the floor of the church. We each lay on it and felt the demons come forth from our Master into our bodies. By the time we were finished, the entire building was on fire. I will never forget the looks on the vampires’ faces when we walked out of the flames towards them.”

“They attacked us. A stupid thing to do but they had no reason to know any different. We burned them. We burned them to ashes where they stood. But first we made them see and feel every foul deed they had ever committed in their lives.”

“After it was over, there was only ruin. Our loved ones were dead. My wife’s body had burned up but my children’s bodies were on the ground, drained dry. We all mourned. We buried our dead. Unfortunately Maria had gotten away. Vampires are rather difficult to catch. The killing is the easy part.”

“We built a house large enough for all of us. We soon discovered we all had needs. Needs that would keep our demons happy. Keep them from taking over our souls. Allowing us to live in peace with ourselves. Sex and violence. We fed off of it. We still do.”

“Our Master talked to me often. When vampires were in the area we would try to bait them. Try to get our hands around them. Send them to Hell. The Master often sent us on missions looking for vampires. We became good at what we did. He also told me he had one more demon that needed a host. A 13th that needed a home. He said I would know when I saw her. We waited over one hundred years.”

“Until I came stumbling into the bar one night, dying from the wounds Victoria inflicted on me, drowning in my own blood. I watched my brothers and sisters kill that evil bitch. And they gave me a choice. I accepted their offer. And here we are.” Bella finished.

“But why do you call her Lilith?” Carlisle asked.

“When we merge with our demons for the first time, in essence we are reborn. We are not the same person. Our human self is still there. But the demon is also. We take on new names. Whether you call her Bella or Lilly doesn’t really matter. She is who she is. She is still Bella Swan. But she is more. She is our thirteenth. And our Lilly is special. She is vengeance personified. Lilith seemed appropriate.”

“So you really are possessed Bella?” Rose asked.

“In a manner of speaking.”

“What did you mean by our roles in this?” Carlisle asked.

“That’s not the most urgent question on two of your minds. Is it Jasper and Alice?”

“No. I want my Mate. I need her.”

“Then accept her as she is. But I got news for you. She ain’t exactly a one man kinda girl nowadays. Or one woman kind of girl now that I think about it.”

To Jasper’s discomfort, rather than disagreeing or being offended, Bella laughed.

“She is my Mate. I don’t share.” Jasper responded, staring at Abe.

“Then you will never have her. Unless you agree to the change.”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“It doesn’t matter now Jasper. We can talk about that later.” Bella responded, turning in Jasper’s lap and kissing him deeply. Jasper was upset but he couldn’t turn away from her. He couldn’t deny her. Her lips were so soft.

“Now what do you mean our parts in this? Why are we even here? It’s obvious Bella let Jasper take her.” Carlisle asked, becoming annoyed.

“We had to get you all together, Carlisle. We need you to play a role. We need you to get us into the Volturi. Killing Felix was a one-time thing. The Master told us where he was at, and having Lilly there in time to kill him worked out fine. But we won’t be able to do that with all the Volturi. They are too smart for that. They will run. And I don’t feel like chasing them around the world.” Abe answered.

“Wait a minute. Bella, you killed Felix?” Emmett asked in disbelief.

“Yes.”

“When I saw you in New York?” Carlisle asked suddenly, understanding that mystery.

“Yes. And Aro found out about me as well. He knows who I am. He knows from the video of you walking out to try and talk to me, that you know me. That is why you are now involved.”

“He thinks you did it for me?”

“No, he doesn’t. But he knows you know me. Your house in New York State is being watched by a vampire named Afton. Matthew and Sarah are watching him watch your house. When they aren’t fucking in the woods. He isn’t the brightest bulb, this Afton.” Bella said giggling.

“So what now?” Carlisle asked. The Cullens were looking intently at the two.

It was Bella that answered. “Now you go back to New York. You let the Volturi come and get you. Aro is losing patience in waiting for me to arrive. He will take you all soon.”

“And what are we supposed to do?”

“You will tell him you believe Lilly is a demon. You think she can kill vampires but she has a weakness. Fire. He will never allow her near him if he thinks she is indestructible. You will offer Edward Cullen’s services and Lilly’s life in exchange for your freedom. And then you will tell him where Lilly is. She will be in Texas. She will be taken to Italy. After this, it is our problem. We are hopeful that Aro brings the vampire world in to witness his power. Killing a demon would be quite a boon for him. His arrogance will be his downfall and establish us as the vampire kings and queens. The ruling body. The ones who decide who has gone too far.”

“And what makes you better than the Volturi?” Rose asked with doubt in her voice.

“No more raiding covens for power. No more vampires providing services to the Volturi in exchange for torturing victims. No more mass feedings in Italy every week. We aren’t against all vampires. We only want the ones the Master deems ready for Hell. We will get them one way or the other. But this is too good an opportunity to pass up.”

“And if we do this, you leave Bella alone?” Jasper asked.

“What makes you think she wants to be left alone? She is a part of us now. We are a family.”

“A family that has open sex with each other.” Jasper growled.

“Every family has their little quirks.” Abe replied winking at Bella, who laughed.

“So you want us to go back to New York?” Carlisle asked.

“Yes.”

“And what about Alice, Peter, Char and I?”

“You are coming with us. Lilly and I. You are going to help us with some unfinished business. You are going to get us Maria.” Abe responded.

Jasper was silent for a moment.

“Why should I do this for you?”

“You want Bella. You want her and each of you in this room with the exception of Peter and Charlotte owe her. You abandoned her after bringing her into this world. Her family died because of each one of you. And Jasper, you want revenge. Before you can become what you are meant to be, you must prove yourself.”

Jasper wasn’t sure what this meant. But if the end result was getting Bella he would kill a hundred Marias.

“What about Edward? How do we get Edward to agree to this?” Esme asked.

“You won’t, Esme. I just saw him the other day. He won’t be agreeable.” Bella responded.

“You saw him! Where?” Jasper asked.

“In Forks.” Bella replied.

“Bella is he… dead?” Carlisle asked, already thinking he knew the answer.

“No.”

“No?” He asked surprised.

“No, he isn’t dead. But he is lost in the woods. I don’t think he will be able to find his way out for some time.” Bella had such an evil smile on her face that Rose shivered looking at her.

“So, are you guys in or not?” Bella asked.

“Do we have a choice?” Emmett asked.

“You all have choices. Every one of us. I am not going to make you do anything. I will get into Volterra. Somehow, someway. It will make it easier if you are there to help me. I want you to convince the other vampires not to try to fight us. There is no need to kill those who are just living there lives like Peter and Charlotte.”

“I’m in Bella. I will never leave your side again.” Alice responded without hesitation.

“Thank you Alice. I will never leave your side either.”

“Bella I would have said before this that I would follow you through Hell. I didn’t think it would be taken so literally but the sentiment remains the same. Even if you can’t become a vampire, you are still my Mate. And I will go wherever you go.”

Bella turned around and kissed Jasper. He could taste Abe on her, a fact which greatly irritated him, but he was soon lost in her kiss.

“Cullens?” Abe asked.

“We will do it. It appears Aro is coming for us anyway. This may be our only chance to escape his rule.” Carlisle responded. The other three nodded their heads.

“Peter and Charlotte, this is not your problem. We ask that you help get us close to Maria. But there is no need for you to go to Italy.”

“We go where the Major goes. We won’t leave him.”

Abe nodded as if he expected this.

“Then shall we be on our separate ways? Peter and Charlotte if you wouldn’t mind riding with me? I believe Jasper, Alice and Bella would like to spend some alone time with each other.” Abe said smiling.

As the group was walking out, Bella called Rose over. Rose looked hesitantly at her and shook her head. This was Bella. For the most part. Rose had nothing to fear from her. Unless Bella wanted to talk about what a bitch Rose had been to her.

“Yes Bella?”

“Rose there is something I think you should know.” Bella whispered.

“What would that be?” Rose asked nervously.

“Royce is in a special section of hell reserved for rapists. He has been getting beaten and raped anally by a demon with spikes on his cock and will continue to do so for eternity. So are his friends. I realize it doesn’t change what they did to you. But they are being punished. If it makes you feel better.”

Bella kissed her on the cheek and walked away towards the cars. Rose was shocked. She had never told Bella about the circumstances of her human death. How did she know? It must be true. Rose knew in her heart it was true. And she smiled.

The ride was awkward at first. Bella sat between Jasper and Alice in the front of the new truck Jasper had bought for this trip. It was an extended cab Ford and had a large backseat. Bella decided to break the silence.

“So Jasper. Still want me for a Mate? Now that you know everything?”

“Yes.” He responded without hesitation.

“But?”

“I won’t share you.” Jasper said looking at the road. This angered Bella. So damn hardheaded.

“You won’t share me with my family but you will share me with your wife, is that it?”

“That’s not the same.”

“It’s exactly the same.”

“No it isn’t. If you didn’t like Alice, then she would have no part in us. I would make her go away.”

“So you don’t like Abe? Is that what you are saying?”

“No! I don’t like him!”

“Would you mind if it was just me and other girls? Would that bother you?”

“I don’t know. I would have said no before I found out about you and Angela. But now…”

“So Angela is not okay but Alice is.”

“I didn’t think I had to worry about you falling in love with another girl.”

“Why do you have to worry at all? Why can’t you simply relax and go with the flow?”

“I can’t. It’s not my style. And I suppose you will tell me that we can’t be together if I don’t.”

“I didn’t say that. Alice did you hear me say that?”

“No Bella, I didn’t.” Alice had wisely kept out of this conversation. Before she could know her role in Bella’s life, Jasper had to figure out his.

“So you can be faithful to me? If you wanted to?” Jasper asked.

“I can be anything I want to be. But I like sex. I like sex with multiple sexes and multiple people. My demon craves it and to be honest, I kinda like it myself. I was kind of repressed for a long time.”

“Believe me I know. The desire radiating off of you was nearly blinding.” Jasper smiled.

“Then you understand I am a very sexual person.” Bella said raising her eyebrow. It didn’t escape Jasper’s attention that she was rubbing Alice’s thigh. Alice was currently staring out the window acting like she had not noticed.

“Yes, I understand. But there is nothing that those people can give you that I can’t.” He said firmly.

“You can give me three cocks at once? Impressive Jasper.”

He knew Bella was baiting him. He heard Alice giggle softly. But he didn’t find it amusing.

“I’m giving you Alice. Isn’t that good enough? You are going to live forever, we are going to live forever. What’s the problem?”

“I love them. They saved me. They took me in. I genuinely love each and every one of them. And I will not leave anyone I love ever again. After what I went through in Forks, goodbyes are a thing of the past for me.”

“And if we leave you?” Jasper asked her raising an eyebrow,

“You won’t. Alice will never leave me. She loves me more than you. Don’t you Alice?” Bella smiled.

Alice sighed, not wanting to get into the middle of the discussion but Bella was right.

“Yes Bella.”

“And you won’t leave me Jasper. Not again. Not after last time. You may become angry and go off in a huff. But you won’t leave me.”

Jasper knew she was right. He had also watched her hand go farther up Alice’s leg until it was now at her center. Alice was wearing tights and a sweater. Bella was rubbing her. Alice was moaning. Her eyes were closed.

“You like this don’t you Jasper?” Bella moved her left hand to Jasper’s crotch and unbuttoned his jeans, placing her hand on his hard member. You like this quite impressively judging by what is in my hand.”

“Yes Bella, okay? I like watching you with Alice. But…” Bella pulled a little harder. Alice was about to cum.

“But what Jasper?” She whispered in his ear.

“But I know… Alice. We have made love.”

“Will you make love to her if we are together?”

“Not if you don’t want me too.” Jasper moaned.

“I don’t mind at all. She is mine and I don’t mind sharing. See how this works?” Bella was purring in his ear.

“Bella, I kind of need to…”

“Oh GOD!” Alice was shaking and squeezing her thighs together. If Bella had been an ordinary human her hand would have been crushed.

“Good girl Alice.”

“Thank you Bella. Can I do…”

“Not now sweetie. I need to convince Jasper some more.”

Bella leaned her head over him. He felt her hair on his lap. She took him in her mouth and started running her mouth up and down his shaft.

“Bella I really need to drive here.” He whispered.

Bella raised her head to Jasper’s relief and consternation.

“You’re a vampire, multi task.”

Jasper moaned as Bella’s head went back down. Three miles down the road he exploded in her mouth. She raised her head and wiped her mouth.

“Yummy, venom. Very nice. I have never had it before. I like it.” She smiled and kissed his cheek. She then laid her head on Alice’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Jasper wasn’t sure what he had gotten himself into. He was not sure how to handle this situation. But he would do what he did best. He would concentrate on the mission. Truth be told he had dreamed about revenge on Maria for years. But Alice had told him it was not worth it. He had agreed with her to a point. But now he was given a reason. And it was worth it.

He may not have been on the raid that killed Abe’s family. But he was certainly on many similar raids. And it was blind luck he wasn’t on that one. What they, he, did wasn’t right. He knew that. And it was time to atone.

They didn’t stop until they reached Texas. Jasper drove through the night, trying not to let the lust distract him from the backseat. Bella and Alice had retired there and had been having sex nonstop for the past 2000 miles. Jasper had cautiously asked if he could pull over and join in but was told no by Bella. She said their time would come and it would be special. The way she said it, Jasper believe her. But the smell of sex was driving him crazy. At some point in this journey, Alice had stopped being his and had become hers.

What Bella didn’t understand was once she unleashed him there may be no going back. He would kill Maria, and any other vampire or demon that tried to keep him from her. And he would be with her when they destroyed the Volturi. He wasn’t concerned with ruling the vampire world. He was only concerned with her. And if she would be there so would he. Fuck Abe.
