The Major And His Demon

Chapter 18:

Lillith Visits James and Victoria in Hell

“Where is she?” Abe asked Jasper.

“Where do you think?” He replied frustrated. Bella had visited Angela the same day Angela introduced herself back into their lives. Nothing could stop her. She wanted the message from her parents Angela claimed to have.

Bella came back 6 hours later. Jasper didn’t understand why it took so long to get a message. He wished for the first time since turning back to human that he has a vampire’s sense of smell so he could determine how close the two of them had gotten. He was a jealous man. Apparently that trait carried over from his vampire life.

He didn’t doubt Lillith’s love for him. They completed each other. She had been his since before the beginning of time. Jasper and Bella loved each other from the moment they locked eyes. She was not separate from Lillith. He had no reason to worry. Of course Abe’s words echoed in his ear from the past. Then you will never have her. She ain’t exactly a one man kind of girl. Or one woman for that matter.

Bella had told him there was no reason to worry. She told him that she spoke to Charlie and Renee through Angela. Bella cried and told Jasper that they did not hate her. They were in paradise. Then she murmured that she never would be.

Bella missed her parents.

Since she returned from the visit with Angela she had spent a large amount of time in Hell. Jasper had followed her a few times but saw that she was simply sitting on a brimstone mountain looking over the screaming souls of billions in the city below. He figured if she wanted him there, she would have asked him to be there. He left her alone.

“Still spending time in Hell? It seems she is more comfortable there since she has become pregnant. I wonder if that means something?” Abe pondered.

“How the hell am I supposed to know? I contacted the boss. He claims to be surprised by the pregnancy but delighted. The only one who doesn’t seem surprised or worried is Angela.”

“Yes, Lilly has definitely been acting different since she came back from that visit as well. Has she seen Angela lately?”

“Not in the past three weeks. Angela called me today though. Apparently there is a potential problem in Russia. Some vampires have not gotten the message. Three of them pillaged an entire village in Siberia. 122 dead including 46 children. Most weren’t drained. Just dead and mutilated beyond recognition. I don’t know why I need to speak to her. I don’t understand why this is even an issue. This is my domain. Mine and Lillith’s. An Angel cannot be involved in the killing of a vampire or anything else. It stains them. That is why we exist. Now I have a Monday morning Quarterback who wants to throw her opinion in.”

“Does Lilly know?”

“Not yet. She hasn’t been back from Hell since she woke up this morning. She vomited, brushed her teeth, took a shower with Cindi, grabbed some toast and went straight there.”

“I see. Perhaps you should talk to her. Make her talk. You are her Master after all.” Abe smiled.

“You know that bullshit don’t work on Bella.” Jasper grinned.

“It may have too. We all answer to you. Even her.”

“Yeah, well I don’t want to take a chance of pissing her off. Because right now I have a feeling there is an angel who wants to split her soul in two.”

“That’s impossible.” Abe said shocked.

“I would have thought so before. But now… now I feel threatened. I don’t like it. I don’t like it a damn bit.”

Bella was sitting in a foldout chair watching the torture around her while chatting. It felt so warm and safe here. She slapped the man kneeling in front of her.

“Are you listening to me?” She sneered.

“Yes ma’am.” James quickly replied, head bowed.

“Good. I need someone to talk to that won’t talk back. Now pay attention. So like I was saying, I am sitting there in Angela’s apartment and Charlie and Renee appear. At least there souls do. Charlie says he loves me and Renee says the same. I apologize, of course. I do that a lot. I couldn’t hug them. I couldn’t touch them. The whole no demons touching heavenly soul’s thing. So I am crying and Angela is holding me from behind. Whispering that it will be alright and I was taken back, you know? She was telling me she loved me, telling me everything would be alright. Comforting me the same way she did when the two of us were in Forks. Her hands were running over my shoulders. So one part of me was pissed off about the contact and one part of me was so happy. I knew it was wrong. I belong to the Master. I love Jasper. Then Charlie and Renee tell me Angela can save me. I look at her and ask what they meant. She is totally being evasive though. I got pissed and stormed out. I don’t think I need saving. I mean do I look I need saving? I am married. I am having the baby of the man of my dreams. The one I always wanted. So I am half demon. I like being a demon. It fits my personality. Why is she making me feel this way? I don’t like it.”

James stared at Bella Swan. She looked like herself. She was wearing blue jeans and a red unremarkable tee shirt. Her hair seemed a darker red than brown and her eyes were completely black. Other than that she was the normal, little girl he had seen in the baseball field and hunted. The normalcy of her appearance made her more frightening.

“Are you actually asking me or is that a metaphorical question?” James asked, frightened of speaking and frightened not to.

Bella sighed. Maybe she should have talked to Laurent. He always seemed more reflective.

“James lay back on your back.”

“Please don’t Bella.” Not again

“Don’t make me repeat myself James. At least I am not videotaping this.”

James hesitantly laid back straightening his legs out. This wasn’t the first time he had assumed the position so to speak. Bella patted him on the cheek.

“Catch you later, James.” She then took her right hand, wrapped it around his leg below the knee and squeezed. The sound of the bone snapping echoed off the brimstone rocks as did James’ scream. He reached immediately for his lower leg, which was bent in two.

“Hurts like a bitch everytime doesn’t it? Trust me. I know.” Bella said grinning. She glanced at the two monsters waiting patiently for her to finish.

“He is all your, Boys.”

They bowed and thanked her.

“Bella wait please no!” James begged, eyes wide in fear as the monstrous figures walked towards him.

“What James? I have better things to do besides torturing you for eternity. That’s what these boys are for. I’ll see you later. Maybe try breaking a few more bones besides your leg next time. Won’t that be fun?”

Bella strode away, barely glancing as one of the torturers walked toward a screaming James with a very hot poker. Wonder where that is going? Not hard to guess.

A minute’s walk and she was looking at a red headed woman tied to a pole with her hands over her head, completely nude.

“Thanks for undressing her for me, boys. I have to make this quick today. My Master needs me.”

“Stay away from me you bitch.” Victoria spat out trying to escape the chains holding her to the pole with little success.

Without a word Bella walked up to Victoria and placed a hand on her cheek, gently caressing her face. She then pulled the skin of her cheek down past her neck. Victoria screamed.

Bella took her time taking strips of skin off the red head. She squeezed her ribs and watched blood rise from Victoria’s throat.

Victoria tried to spit on her but was unable. She didn’t have the strength to even spit the blood out of her mouth.

“You know that doing this makes you no better than me right?” Victoria whispered through bloody teeth.

“Of course. I’m actually worse than you. Ask me if fucking care.” Bella smiled. She was in an especially foul mood today.

Bella cracked open and reached into Victoria’s chest squeezing her heart and ripping it from her body. She tossed the heart to one of the demons patiently waiting for Lillith to finish. They were all used to Lillith’s proclivities to jump into the torture of those who she had a special hatred for. The demons respected her for it. She was worthy to follow.

“When her skin returns continue to skin her. Use Pliers for the next few years.”

“You bitch!” Victoria screamed.

“And give her back that little black thing she calls a heart.” The demons bowed to her.

Bella walked away and took a deep breath, closing her eyes. Her Master needed her. Opening her eyes she found she was in her bedroom. Cindi and Alice were in a 69 position. One hot and one cold. Both felt great. She knew. She didn’t bother looking for Jasper on the bed. He never played with her girls no matter how much she begged him too. It was quite frankly starting to piss her off. They were demons. They should act like it dammit!

She walked into the living room to see Jasper talking in hushed tones to Abe. They both looked up and smiled when she came in.

“Good morning Abaddon.” Bella said, kissing Abe on the cheek. ” Why aren’t you in the bed room playing with the others?” Bella could hear the others engaged in an intense orgy, feeding off each other’s lust. No one touched Alice or Cindi. They were hers. Those two were special. She loved them. They belonged to her. The others however still had free reign with each other. Bella missed them sometimes. But she dealt. It was a small price to pay for keeping Jasper happy. Jasper kept more her more than happy. Plus he was so sweet and fun.

“Unfortunately Lilly we have work to do.” He responded.

“Do we?” Bella asked, looking at Jasper and raising an eyebrow.

“Yes, Abe and I have work darlin. You are to stay here.” Jasper said quietly.

“Oh really?” Bella laughed. “And how do you think you are going to stop me from coming.

“Bella Whitlock, I am your husband and Master and you…”

“If you expect to have sex in the next month, you better cut that sentence off right now, MASTER.”

Jasper looked a little sheepish and then frowned at Abe.

“I told you it wouldn’t work.” He said angrily towards Abe. Bella glanced at Abe in surprise.

“Abe that was your idea? I’m so disappointed in you.” She smiled.

“That wasn’t what I meant. I meant…”

“Why don’t we stop fucking around and someone tell me where we are going?”

“Siberia.” Jasper responded.

“Brrrr. Cold. I hate the cold. Better pack a big jacket.”

“Don’t worry Bella. I will keep you warm.” Angela said walking into the living room.

“Goddamit, don’t you knock?” Jasper asked, glaring at the Angel who walked in. Bella admitted she was beautiful. Dark long raven black hair. Hazel eyes she used to stare into while she writhed underneath her. She was wearing a long red sweater hanging to her knees over a pair of black tights. Bella remembered that outfit. It was one of her favorite’s to see Angela wear.

“Why should I? My girlfriend lives here.” Angela winked at Bella.

“Angela, I am not your girlfriend.” Bella told her, whispering loud enough that the three with her could hear.

“Whatever Bella. Look, are we ready to go? I have to walk through Heaven to get there. You guys are going through Hell. I kind of need to know the exact place we are going to meet.”

“Why the fuck are you even going?” Jasper asked. “Angels can’t kill vampires. These vampires definitely belong to us.”

“All the same I will be by Bella’s side. We don’t know how the baby she will be having will respond to injury. Will the baby heal the same as she would if attacked? Something to think about Jasper.”

“I can protect my wife and child.” Jasper growled.

“I was wondering about that. What church were you two married in?” Angela asked grinning.

“The one in Hell…” Jasper responded calmly, “long before you existed.”

“Either way, I don’t want you taking chances with the safety of the love of my life. Since she won’t listen to her supposed “Master” I will go and protect her.

“Jasper please. Let’s just do this. I want to be back tonight. I don’t want to be gone for weeks.”

“Of course Bella. See you there Angela.” Jasper gritted out.

Angela disappeared in a flash of bright light.

“Alice!” Jasper yelled.

“Yes Jasper?” Alice asked, in the room in a flash completely naked.

“We are going to Siberia. I want you to help us track these vampires from here. I certainly don’t want to be there any longer than we have to be. Text me any visions you have.”

“Yes Jasper.”

As Alice walked away, Bella glared at Jasper.

“What?”

“She is mine. You don’t get to boss her around. If you need something, ask her nicely or tell me and I will ask her.” Bella growled.

“Sorry. She acts like your slave so often I forgot that she wasn’t.” Jasper responded throwing his hands up.

“I’m sorry baby. I’ve just been really stressed and grumpy. The morning sickness isn’t helping. Angela starting shit doesn’t help either. But Alice is not my slave. She is our lover. At least she was yours. Treat her with respect please.”

“Why don’t you stay baby? Please? For me?” Jasper begged.

Bella took a deep breath. She really didn’t feel like going. Jasper did looked worried. Truthfully she didn’t know if the baby could be harmed or not. She didn’t know if giving reign to the beast would affect the baby. No one seemd to know anything. She had planned to relax during this pregnancy but she was so bored.

“You will be okay? Just the three of you?” Bella asked, placing a hand on Jasper’s waist and letting herself be pulled into him.

“Baby we are immortal. What could possibly happen to us?” Jasper smiled, taking her face gently between his hands.

Bella nodded.

“Fine. Cindi probably needs attention since Alice will be off in future land. Go and be careful. I love you.”

Jasper kissed her gently and then more urgently. Bella was still surprised by his warm skin every time he kissed her.

“Thank you Bella. For staying.” He said as Abe opened up a door of shadows out of thin air. Alice, Abe and Jasper walked through. The door closed. Bella briefly thought of going back into hell. Maybe bite some of the flesh off of Jane. It seemed the demon craved to be on top of Cindi, the baby craved to be warm in Bella’s womb surrounded by the forces of Hell and the woman craved her husband to be on top of her. So why was Angela an issue? Angela had no part in her life. Not anymore.

Jasper and Abe walked out onto a barren frozen ground. Trees were scattered around. In the distance they could see the remains of the village. Walking into the village Jasper was reminded of the raiding parties he had helped Maria conduct. Bodies everywhere. This happened last night. The bodies were still fresh.

“You seem comfortable Jasper. Seen something like this before?” Angela asked from behind.

“I guess you already know the answer to that one, don’t ya Angela?”

She gazed over the carnage and the dead bloated bodies laying in the streets. “They all went to Heaven except one. He was a selfish, evil bastard. No wonder your boss is so pissed. Not only was he cheated out of three incredibly evil souls he lost all these people to God. No time for the children to be corrupted by the world and sent to your side of things.”

“You are all heart Angela. I am surprised at how well you are taking things. You been in a situation like this before?” Jasper asked looking suspicious.

“No, I haven’t Jasper. But I am relieved your kind did not get their hooks into these people’s souls. I know they are resting now. You, however will never rest.”

“When I have Bella keeping me up why would I?” Jasper asked with a grin. “But you know how good she feels. At least your fingers do. The rest of you is lacking in the necessary equipment to make her feel what she needs to feel.” Jasper smiled.

“And yet I seemed to have done just as good a job as you can, without the necessary equipment. Don’t fool yourself Whitlock. Parts of your souls belong to one another. But one part of Bella just sees you as a pretty human dildo.” Angela sneered.

Jasper was about to respond when Abe interrupted.

“I hate to interrupt but Alice just texted. The vampires will be crossing back into the village to check if there are any survivors to feed off of.”

“How long?”

“Ten Minutes.” Abe answered.

“Good. It’s fucking cold and I want to go home and make love to my wife.” Jasper growled staring at Angela. Angela looked away. Jasper realized he hit a nerve in the cool Angel.

“Why don’t you go hide Angela? I mean it’s not like you can be any help. Abe and I have this.”

Angela walked without another word into one of the homes that wasn’t burned.

“How do you want to play this?” Abe asked.

“I don’t feel like chasing. If we don’t draw them in we can’t get them.” Jasper answered, his mind working through numerous strategies.

“If two attack us the third will see and run.” Abe pointed out.

“We lay on the ground. Let them find us and attempt to bite us. It will be easy from that point.”

“But it’s cold on the ground.” Abe said sadly.

“It’s cold everywhere.” Jasper responded.

“Damn I miss Texas and I haven’t been gone for an hour yet.” Abe whispered, lying on the ground. Jasper did the same.

The three vampires arrived on time. Walking slowly up to the two live bodies breathing face first in the ground, they smiled.

“Just as we were told. Destroy the village and they will come.” The long dark haired vampire said grinning. “Rise humans.”

Jasper glanced at Abe who shrugged his shoulders.

“We were told at least two of you, possibly more would be here. Who are you?”

“If you knew we were going to be here you should know who we are.” Jasper responded. This was certainly a game changer.

“We were simply told you would be delicious.” The long blonde haired vampire in back said. The other vampire was huge. Felix Volturi huge. Same black hair as his. Maybe they were related in life?

“Who told you?” Jasper asked.

“He did not tell us his name. It really doesn’t matter does it? He was right.”

The vampire in the front attacked Jasper. He seemed surprised to see Jasper was no longer a man. A large taloned black creature with horns and a smiling skull was in front of him. The vampire looked down and saw the demons hands were inside his abdomen. The demon was smiling.

“Abe?” Jasper questioned.

The vampire turned, feeling the burn from the demons hands to see a red creature with dark blood red hair and black eyes, attacking his fellow coven mates. Black wings suddenly rose from Abe’s back with points on the top and bottom. He used the points of the wing bottoms to drive into the vampires pinning them to the earth.

The lead vampire panicked. Antonio had walked the earth for 600 years and had never been challenged. He head butted the demon. Thankfully the demon fell backwards.

Jasper was shocked as the wounds on the vampire’s abdomen closed up. He should not have felt that blow but he did. He would worry about it later. Right now he had to fight. Fighting was something Jasper Whitlock had definitely not forgotten how to do. Antonio charged him while the demon that was Jasper Whitlock stepped to the side and using a simple leg sweep dropped the vampire to his knees. Abe had been knocked back, his vampires pulling his wings out of their chests and throwing him back. Abe attacked again and placed his hands on the vampires attempting to burn them. It didn’t work. The vampires halted for a second but continued to push against Abe.

“Abe!” Jasper roared. “We are going to have to do this the old fashioned way. Go for their necks.”

Antonio spinned off the ground and launched himself at Jasper. Jasper hit him in the jaw, sending him reeling back. Antonio sat up to only find that the demon was no longer in front of him but behind. He felt a burning sensation at the base of his neck. He looked down to see a black knife melting into his throat.

“Forged in the fires of Hell.” Jasper whispered. “You will be seeing the process firsthand shortly.”

Antonio tried to scream but the black knife had made its way through his airway. There was surprisingly little pain. Only the burning touch of the knife.

His head fell and he was no more. His body erupted in flames. Jasper roared and grew another four inches. Two vampires were on Abe who was laying on the ground. He grabbed their necks and they began to burn. Jasper stuck the large knife he had summoned from Hell into the back of one vampires skull, and then twisted his neck. Abe rolled and was straddling the remaining vampire his hands sinking into his neck. The vampire’s body began to smolder. Jasper placed his black hand on the vampires face and it exploded in a cloud of ash.

Both Abe and Jasper were breathing hard. The demons wanted to destroy. Jasper had to calm down his demon side. They were outnumbered and challenged and succeeded.

A few minutes later and both Abe and Jasper were standing in human forms.

“You can come out now Angela.” Jasper said without turning.

Angela walked out confused.

“I thought you guys just touch them and they burn up and die.”

“I thought so too. It has worked in the past. These were tougher. Someone sent them after us. Someone warned them and gave them some sort of strength. I know it sure as hell wasn’t my boss. How about your’s Angela? You playing some kind of game? That why you wanted to be here?”

“No! I know you can’t die. No point in making it harder for you to do your job. That would make Bella angry. God wouldn’t do this.”

“You know anyone else capable of making vampires strong enough to challenge the forces of Hell?” Jasper wasn’t angry. He was truly curious. Although he worked for the Boss he knew they all fell into God’s plan. No way God wanted these three walking the Earth longer than they had too.

“God expects us to handle these problems. I don’t know… I don’t know anyone else.”

Angela hesitated. Jasper didn’t have to read emotions any longer to know she was holding back.

“Don’t hold back on me Angela.” Jasper warned. Abe noticed something was wrong as well.

“Let me ask some questions. I will get back to you.” With that said Angela was gone, same annoying bright blinding flash she usually left with.

“What do you think Abe? Ever seen something like that?”

“Nope. Those vampires should have gone down easier. I never felt in danger of being harmed. That’s impossible. The worst that could ever happen to us is we go to Hell and regroup.”

“No, the worst that could happen is Bella and my baby could have been injured and the vampires became so strong that we had no effect on them.”

“Let’s get back. I need to make a stop to talk to the Boss and see if he heard anything. Then I will be there.”

“Okay Jasper. Don’t take too long. It’s Pizza Night.”

“Good.” Jasper grinned. “It will give Bella something new to vomit.” Abe smiled but it did not touch his eyes. Neither did Jasper’s smile touch his eyes.

The two walked into the door of shadows that had opened. Neither ever noticed the tall thin scarred blonde man standing in the trees watching them.

The first experiment had been a success. He lost the vampires but he never really suspected they would survive. Promising though. Very promising. The next time would be more difficult or them. Eventually he would have his soldier. The outsider who answered to only him. This child was dangerous. If neither side wanted to recognize this, he would handle the matter on his own. It wouldn’t be the first time he had to fix a problem in the natural order to ensure the world survived and stayed the course.
