Chapter 15:
BPOV
“So I just go into the other camp and act like a tramp so I can get information on a battle you already know the result of?”
“You don’t have to act like a tramp. You are so gorgeous they will be throwing themselves at you. Just hang around and listen. Make sure the lawyers aren’t going to make any last minute changes to the script. The Confederates won this battle and Yankee reenactors sometimes like to try to re write history.”
“So I am basically a Confederate spy?” I asked.
“Yep.” Jasper grinned.
“Ty is going to love this. For you babe I will do this, but no my heart lies with the Union cause.”
“That hurts Bella.” Jasper frowned.
“Relax Major,” I laughed,”You already conquered me. You know my heart is really yours.”
“Yeah. I do.”
I began to walk towards the “encampment”. I admit I was having fun. I enjoyed doing anything with Jasper. We were never bored. But seeing him in that uniform…
“Bella?”
“Yes dear?” I turned with my best southern twang. It wasn’t very good.
“Don’t eat anybody.”
“Major I am shocked.” I winked. “Your lack of faith in me is quite offensive.”
“My apologies ma’am.” Jasper tipped his hat.
“You are forgiven, sir.” I turned to continue my stroll.
“Bella?” I took a deep breath.
“Yes dear?”
“Seriously don’t eat anybody.”
“Yes dear.” I guess he was serious. It wouldn’t be a problem. My bloodlust was nearly under control. I only fed once every couple of weeks now.
It had been a wonderful year. We were all happy with our houses. We trained together. Occasionally we hunted together, but not often. That many bodies disappearing at once was bound to cause suspicion. But still it was important to have bonding moments like group hunts for the coven.
Another great thing about our coven was unlike the Cullens we actually each had separate lives. Nobody was up in anybody’s business. I watched while Ty and Esme really feel in a deep love. You would think they had been together for centuries.
Charlotte and I had become very close. We had sex with each other often. I thought as my newborn year went by the uncontrollable urges for sex would go away. They hadn’t. I had learned to control them better. Jasper says it was always in me. I just never let it out. I did love making love to Charlotte while Jasper watched. He would take me home and make love to me for days afterward. Almost like he was reclaiming me.
Jasper.
I had fallen so hopelessly in love with him I couldn’t understand how I lived without him. We stayed in and read, holding each other. He took me dancing. We talked for days about our lives. Our fears, our passions. Yes the God of War had fears, mostly centering around losing me. That wouldn’t happen. I couldn’t stand being away from him for too long. We didn’t exactly share hobbies so we participated in each other’s. That had led me to now, sneaking into a Union camp to make sure the tax attorneys didn’t try to deviate from the script.
Another cool thing that happened this year was with Jasper’s help I was able to get rid of this pesky shield thing and he could send waves of lust towards me. It was amazing to make love to a man and feel his every emotion and know he felt yours.
I didn’t exactly get rid of the shield thing. Jasper had taught me to turn it off and also to expand it to protect others. I still smiled at the memory of those experiments. Jasper would send waves of humor and then fear towards Ty until I was able to make him stop. The problem was neither of us told Ty we were doing it. Ty was not amused when he found out Jasper could do that and began asking him about times Jasper may have used that power on him.
Jasper wouldn’t say.
We all traveled often separately. Charlotte and Peter were currently back in New Mexico. With my description they had perfected their alien costumes and were causing the government to go nuts. My father had launched a campaign for the government to disclose alien activities for a short while, hoping the US military could get me back from ET. It didn’t last long. I saw Renee from a distance when Jasper and I went to Florida. I wanted to see her one last time. She was staring at the stars and smiling. I suppose she believed that I had been taken. I hope the smile was because she thought I was doing well and wasn’t because of the likely hood that I had been anally probed. Only Jasper got to do that on special occasions.
Ty’s family was saddened but moved on I suppose. His mother had four other children to look after. Ty and Esme were currently in Alabama. Ty had been single handedly eliminating a faction of the KKK himself. I talked to him last night and he was having way too much fun. He had gotten over his aversion to human blood.
I apparently never had one in the first place. We all planned to meet at our Nacogdoches hideout next week. It would be good to see everyone but I treasured these times with Jasper.
Things were good. Jasper had been tracking the Cullens but stopped when we hadn’t heard anything from them for 6 months.
I held in a growl as I listened to the wolf calls from the gentleman who were pretending to be officers. I had a dress on that accentuated my cleavage.
“Hey their little lady. What are you doing here?”
“Just wandering around. Seeing how real soldiers live.” I said, smiling suggestively. He was an average looking man. Balding, average height and weight. He was the adult version of Mike Newton.
“How about a tour?” He asked. “My name is Bob.”
“Of course it is.” I grinned. What the hell else would it be?
Fucking attorneys.
I followed Bob around the tents set up in a circle. He introduced me to the Generals like I was his girlfriend or something.
Speaking of… I suppose I could help the cause. No one really seemed interested in changing any scripts. They were interest in each other’s uniforms and who seemed most authentic. Fake weapons were another hot topic of conversation. I also overheard conversations about Duck Dynasty from a few guys I believed were dentists.
“So what do you think?” Bob asked me.
“I’m sorry?” I asked feigning ignorance.
“Of the camp?”
“Oh, it’s wonderful. So exciting!” I lied spectacularly.
“You look familiar. What did you say your name was?”
I didn’t. But this had happened before. Thanks to Dad’s little campaign that alien abduction video wouldn’t go away. I looked different as a vampire but not much. My hair was longer and darker but my facial features remained the same as did my build.
“My name? It’s Bella.” I could have given a million names. But…
“I’m sure I must have seen you on a magazine cover. Why don’t I show you the battlefield?”
Hmmm. Jasper did need intelligence. Bob did seem to suspect who I was. Jasper would be disappointed in me if I didn’t take care of this problem now.
Thirty minutes later I walked back into the Confederate camp to see Major Whitlock staring at me. That wasn’t happiness to see me.
“What?” I asked defensively.
“Have a nice time?”
“Yes. Don’t worry, there are no changes to the script. Also you now have a tactical advantage.”
“What would that be?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.
“The Union army is down one captain, Major. He seemed to have deserted in the middle of the night.” I smiled.
“How deep did you bury him?” Jasper asked, not amused by my behavior. I wasn’t amused by him playing fake soldier but I went along with it because I love him. I don’t see what his problem was.
“Around ten feet deep.” I admitted.
“Bella…”
“Jasper you know I love how lawyers taste.”
“Fine.” He walked up and kissed me gently. “We need to at least pretend to sleep. You think you can be quiet while I make love to you?”
“No.” I admitted.
“I guess I will take my chances then.” We walked back to our tent, hand in hand. I really would stay quiet. I loved to be loud but with him I could lay back and get lost in him. He knew this.
He had just undressed me when his phone buzzed. We were both surprised. Only our coven had that number. It was probably Peter bragging about anally probing someone.
“It’s Ty.”
Jasper answered the phone.
“Ty?”
“Captain Major General Bubba sir. How ya doing. Fighting the good fight to keep slavery alive?”
Jasper rolled his eyes. He and Ty had surprisingly became close over the past year. Jasper taught Ty to fight with a little too much vigor. Ty still called Jasper every hick name he could think of. But when no one was looking I caught them laughing together. They even went fishing once.
“Still single handedly killing every white guy that ever looked at a black guy wrong?”
“Course not. My woman helps to. She has to eat too, ya know?”
“So what do we owe the pleasure of this call Ty? Couldn’t wait to see me in a week? I could get Bella to take a picture of my face and text it to you.”
“You do that and your face gonna be planted on my black ass the moment I get that text. Hey do you know a cat named Aro?”
That caught our attention. Jasper had told me about the Volturi. He described them as the strongest coven in the World under ours. He was convinced we were stronger and if it came down to a fight we would win. Still though… things were good. We weren’t really in the mood to fight.
“Why do you ask Ty?”
“Cause he is here. In Alabama. Says he wants to talk to you. Says he has a problem only you can help him with. He won’t tell me what.”
“He’s alone?” Jasper asked surprised.
“No. He has two weird lookin freaky kids with him. Esme seems worried about the two of them.”
“Anyone else?”
“Nope.”
“Alright. Bring him to Texas. I’ll meet him there. Did he say how he found you?”
“Yeah, he said a guy named Demetri told him where we was. Said he couldn’t see you. Said the guy isn’t aroiund any longer.”
That was interesting. By the look on Jasper’s face he agreed.
“Okay. Take them to Nacodoches. And Ty? Don’t let him touch you.”
“Yeah, Esme done told me. They are following us. Those guys are weird dude. They make me miss your slave owning ass.”
It was bad.
“We are on our way.”
TY POV
“Major pain says you freaks can come with us.” I told the really creepy trio.
“Excellent. I look forward to seeing Jasper again.”
“Yeah good for you. You three follows us in your car.”
“I thought we would ride together.” Aro smiled.
“You thought wrong. I don’t like the looks of you. You are freaky. That stupid little crazy man smile you got goin on ain’t helpin your case.”
“Esme has known me for many years. She can attest to my trustworthiness.”
I looked at my woman. She looked scared. She was hiding it well but I knew her. I could tell. I didn’t like her scared. Made me all kinds of pissed off.
“Look bitch. I ain’t telling you again. You follow us.”
The little girl must not have liked that. She glared at me and I felt like my head done blowed up. I dropped to my knees. I heard Esme scream. Fuck that, Nobody scares my woman.
I stood up and felt it. It was in me. But I could give it back. I opened my eyes and saw her surprised little face. Yeah bitch.
I felt the pain leave me and I stared right at the freaky bitch. She fell on the ground screaming and grabbing her tight little pony tailed hair. Yeah bitch.
“How you like me now bitch?” I yelled. I don’t know what came over me. When she attacked me with her little vamp power I felt it. I could send this shit back. I wonder what else I could do?
Aro dude looked shocked. I guess ain’t nobody ever taken little shortie down. It’s a whole new world now, ain’t it bitch.
“Please stop!” The boy yelled while Aro looked on and kept smiling.
“She started this shit, bitch. If she can’t take it she shouldn’t do it!” I also didn’t want to admit that I really wasn’t sure if I could turn it off.
“Relax.” Esme whispered in my ear. Woman knows how to get me all kinds of relaxed. I closed my eyes and little bitch stopped screaming.
“Amazing. You deflected her power and used it against her. You are truly gifted Tyrone.” Aro said smiling and whispering like he seems fond of doing.
“Like I said bitch. You three are gonna follow us or I got some more where that shit came from.”
I grabbed Esme’s hand and practically dragged her to the car. Our car. My Caddie. Cadillac CTS. What every young rich drop dead gorgeous vampire should be driving. The three got in their Mercedes and pulled out behind us. The boy was driving and he looked scared. That’s good. I like bitches who ain’t my crew scared. I wonder where the hell that thing I did to the little bitch came from?
“Jasper will go crazy when he finds out you are gifted.” Esme said.
“Gifted? You buy me something baby doll? Get one of those nurse outfits so I can play Doctor and show you how its supposed to be done.
“Gifted my love. Meaning you have a power. You took Jane’s power and used it against her. No one has ever done that.”
My love. She is so proper like.
“Baby, why don’t you turn on some of that music you like and sit back and relax. We got a long drive ahead of us and Tyrone is in control.”
We drove for the next few hours not talking. She curled into me and held me tight. That was enough. No words needed.
Somewhere in Louisiana it hit me.
“You think I could do that shit Jasper does back at him?”
Esme giggled. “I am pretty sure you can with practice.”
“Ain’t that a bitch. Can’t wait till he tries some shit.”
“Lets just get home baby. I don’t like those three behind us. The others should be with them. Something is wrong. I have a bad feeling about this.”
Jasper POV
I watched Ty pull up and he and Esme exited his car. I tell him to stay low and he buys a $63,000 car. I can’t stay low redneck. Tyrone gotta live. The most famous alien abductee in history is driving a Cadillac CTS up the roads of the South killing White Supremists. Go figure.
Behind them was Aro, Jane and Alec. Jane and Alec walked ahead but they seemed unsure of themselves. Wait until they got a load of Bella.
Esme ran to me and whispered quickly in my ear.
That was an unexpected development. No wonder the wonder twins looked frightened.
Peter and Charlotte were at my side. Bella stayed behind me. Not because she was afraid. It was the most strategic position for her to cover us all.
“Major Whitlock.” Aro greeted me, walking up and offering his hand.
“Forgive me if I don’t shake Aro.”
“That is certainly not gentlemanly, Major.”
“Neither is prying into someone’s thoughts, Aro.”
“Touche.”
“What brings you here?”
“I am in need of your help.” He replied quickly. That’s a surprise
“Why would I help you?” This was getting very strange.
“I was hoping you could perhaps do me a favor and I would… owe you one, I believe is the term.”
“Aro, you mistake me for a friend. We are not friends. We only know of each other in passing. I know what your coven is capable of. You know what I am capable of. You have no idea what my coven is capable of but judging by what happened to your little girl you seem to be coming to an understanding of that as well.”
“Yes, I was quite impressed with your newborn.”
“I ain’t his newborn, freak boy. Watch your language or I’m gonna stomp a mud hole in your kids. Then I’m coming for you.” Ty informed Aro in his usual eloquent fashion.
“I see. My apologies. I will get to the point Major. An upheaval has occurred in Volterra. Caius has betrayed me. Markus is dead and the remaining guard has sworn allegiance to Caius. Alec, Jane and I barely escaped with our lives.”
“Your guard took out Alec and Jane?” I asked disbelieving.
“Yes. They are not all powerful. They took Alec before his gift could work and Jane could only cause pain to one person at a time. She was overran. I rescued them and we left. Quickly.”
Huh.
“Damn sad story for ya there Aro. Don’t see how I can help you though. My coven is not going to get involved in coven infighting. Seems to me that Caius kicked your ass. You and your kids are now nomads. Find a house, settle down. Watch some TV. Sounds like it’s over Aro. Maybe you should look at this as an opportunity to retire.”
“Unfortunately Major I am unable to do this. I fear Caius will come after me, thinking I may be plotting against him.”
“Sort like you are doin now?”
Aro smiled. “Yes. Sorta like.”
“Sorry Aro. Good luck with all that. I only get involved in wars nowadays if my coven is threatened. We aren’t threatened. Doesn’t concern me. Good luck with your revenge.”
“My situation actually does affect you as well Major. Demetri told me how to find you. He helped us escape. He was killed for it.”
The sadness in Aro’s voice did not reach his eyes. He used people. Plain and simple.
“How does your situation affect my coven Aro?” I may as well play his game so he would leave or I could kill him and indirectly do Caius a favor.
“Caius had help planning my downfall. A young woman who could see the future and a young man who can read minds. Any idea of who that might be?”
That caught my attention.
“Edward and Alice arrived in Italy around 6 months ago with Carlisle, Rose and Emmett. Apparently Carlisle had lost his mate. You on the other hand had stolen Edward’s mate. Listening to their stories I could see that no laws were broken. I refused to offer Volturi aid. To my surprise the Cullen coven stayed in Voltera. I should have touched one of them. I didn’t want to be rude though. That was my mistake. Caius attacked last week. Markus died. Demetri died. Jane and Alec were the only ones who remained loyal. I believe the Cullens helped Caius because he expects his assistance. They will come for you Major. Help me and I promise the Cullens will be a worry of the past.”
Ty growled. Peter cursed. I was… not surprised. I figured it had been to quiet. I figured they would do something stupid.
Honestly staging a coup in the Volturi was impressive. They were pains in the ass but I give credit where credit is due. That was impressive.
“I can kill the Cullens at any time I so choose. The same with your precious guard. As far as you regaining power, who the hell is going to follow you? It sounds like everyone who can stand you is standing beside you. It also sounds as if Caius has figured out a way to fight around them. He always was the better planner.”
“I will worry about rebuilding my guard. You kill the Cullens. Everyone is happy.”
“Aro, I need to discuss this with my coven. If you would?”
“Of course Major.”
I watched them run towards the trees. When I was satisfied they were gone we all settled in mine and Bella’s home.
“Okay. What do ya’ll think?”
Silence filled the room. This was unusual because Ty was in the room.
“I don’t trust that bastard.” Ty said, as expected, breaking the silence.
“Obviously. We shouldn’t. But I detected no deception in his account of what happened.”
“We can kill the Cullens and Volturi at any time if they come for us.” Esme whispered.
“A fair point.” I conceded.
“I think we should do it. I think we should kill them all.”
I looked at Peter. I honestly had no idea what his feelings on this would be.
“Look if we don’t they are going to continue to be pains in the ass. We take them out now and its over. Look at it as spring cleaning.” He continued.
Charlotte said nothing. She didn’t have to. She was always ready for a fight.
“I want to bitch slap that doctor again and try out this new whup ass gift I got. Plus that fucker needs to know his place. It may be time to blow one down.” Ty said. Fuck. I hated when I had to ask.
“What?”
“What?”
“Blow one down?”
“Yeah. Kill the fool. Bunk off, burn powder… any of this getting though home fries?”
“Okay. I think I understand Ty’s position. Esme?” She sighed.
“Fuck it. Let’s kill him.” She wasn’t as enthused but once Esme made a decision…
“I want to go to Italy.” Bella said from behind me. She was sitting cross legged on the table top smiling.
“Yeah darlin?”
“Yes. Italy, ruins, sight seeing, vampire wars. It all sounds so romantic Jasper. I definitely think we should go.”
I nodded. Looks like the decision has bee…
“One thing.” Esme said suddenly. She looked out the windows and whispered.
“Yeah?”
“When this is done we should kill Aro, Jane and Alec as well. May as well make a clean sweep of it.”
“Esme you could blooded bitch. Have I told you today I love you momma?”
Bella jumped on Esme’s back wrapping her legs around her waist and her arms around Esme’s chest.
“Yay! We are going to Italy.”
I stepped outside and called for Aro. He must have been nearby. I heard him running towards the house. I guess he really did give us privacy.
“We will fight.”
“Excellent.”
I reached out my hand to shake his. He looked so happy when he took it. Then he looked very afraid. I grinned.
“Yeah. We got a shield.”
