For God And Country

Chapter 14:
GPOV
Fuck!
I found myself on my ass… again.
“So remind me what is so hard about this vampire fighting, baby.” She asked straddling my waist with her lips on my neck.
We had been at Jasper’s two story country home for two days. I thought this would be a good opportunity to begin training Bella in the finer points of vampire fighting. She didn’t see the need.
I explained that vampire fighting was very different than human fighting. All her black belts as a human would do her no good now. Her control would have to be better. She would have to learn to use her strength to her advantage. She needed to learn to go for the neck or twist the appendages to disable or behead her opponents. It was difficult to learn and took years to perfect.
She has gotten my neck 6 times now. Twenty minutes was the most I have held her off.
“How are you doing this Bella?”
“Doing what? Fighting is fighting. I’m just aiming for a different target now. It really isn’t much different than fighting as a human. Just faster.”
I shook my head. She was faster and stronger than I was. She was faster and stronger than Jasper. The strength wasn’t a surprise. She was a newborn. The speed was amazing. She hit me twice for every strike I delivered to her.
At first I was hesitant to hit her. She is my wife. I love her with my whole soul. After the second time she cracked my jaw while laughing I decided the shit was on. It made no difference.
“I’m sorry baby. I know you are a big bad fighter. Really, you are good. You got some great moves. Why don’t you show me some of those moves now?”
She was rubbing her pelvis against me. The heat from her pussy was burning through her jeans. Now she was licking my neck. I rolled her and was on top of her in a second.
“Hey there.” She whispered and kissed me. I was unbuckling her jeans while she was undoing mine. I wasn’t going to bother with the rest of her clothes. I had to be in her now. I finally got her jeans to her knees and entered her roughly. She growled. I growled. I drove into her over and over. I may not be able to keep up with her in fighting but she knew I had what she needed. She was whimpering. She had her mouth on my shoulder and bit through my shirt into my skin. I bit her shoulder back. Fucking her at inhuman speeds, our teeth locked into each other. I was ready to find this Collins fucker and kill him so we could find a nice bed and do this for the rest of eternity.
We both came four times and she finally stopped whimpering.
“My God, I haven’t been fucked like that since two years ago.” She breathed. Damn right…
“Wait, what did you say?”
“I was kidding Garrett. Chill.” I pulled out of her and she moaned a little more.
“Where are you going?” she whined.
“We need to keep training.”
“I’ve shown you all my skills. I can’t teach you anymore Garrett. Come back here and do what you do best.”
“You know that bite is going to leave a mark?”
“So is the spot you bit me. Got a problem with my teeth on you?” she asked as she was pulling her panties and jeans back to her waist.
“No. I kind of think it’s hot.” I admitted.
I was brushing grass and dirt off of Bella’s back when we both heard it. The house. Vehicles pulled up to the house a half mile away.
“Stay here.” I told Bella quietly.
“As if.” She replied back, rolling her eyes.
We ran up the rise to within view of the house. Cars in the driveway. Looked like two rental cars. Typical Sedans. Government? No fucking way. Although that would be great. I was hungry. Sex always made me hungry.
We walked slowly up to the outside of the house from the back. Bella motioned that she would take the front and I would take the back.
I motioned to her to take the back and I would take the front. I’m in charge. It was my turn to be in charge anyway. She promised. Then we smelt the scent when the wind shifted. Vampires. Irish Coven? No. They wouldn’t make themselves at home. There were nomads all over Europe though. I walked around to the front. I got close to the cars. Oh fuck. Jasper you didn’t. Cullens. I heard the backdoor open. Someone was walking outside.
Bella roared. I ran around the back and was met by Cullens who were also coming out the back. We all turned to see Edward lying on his stomach on the ground with his head pulled up by his hair and Bella, who was on top of him, about to bite through his neck.
“Bella stop!” I yelled.
To her credit she froze a centimeter from where her teeth would have bitten his neck. She looked up.
“Uh…” She twisted Edward’s head by his hair towards her face.
She dropped his head and was by my side in half a second.
“Edward I’m so sorry. Are you okay child?” Bella said holding back a smile.
Edward stood up and stretched his neck.
“Of course Bella. You just caught me by surprise.” Edward replied quietly. I turned to Jasper and saw him smirking. He was so in for it.
Bella seemed to come out of her humor at nearly beheading Edward and noticed the entire Cullen Clan was in the yard with us.
“Oh… hi. What are you guys doing here?” Bella asked planting that fake smile she reserves for the Cullens on her face.
“We couldn’t wait to see the newborn vampire, so we thought we would come up and lend a hand, take a look at you.” Jasper replied, smiling.
Bella remained smiling. “Great…”
“It’s nice to see you again Bella. I was hoping we could visit longer. Last time we saw each other…” Esme began.
“Oh right. I was busy trying to seduce and kill the guy you were throwing a party for. Sorry I couldn’t spend more time getting reacquainted. But you know how it is. Work, work, work.”
“Yes of course. I understand.” Esme responded smiling.
“Bella you look beautiful.” Alice said walking up.
“Thank you Alice. You look pretty cute yourself.” Bella winked at her and grabbed my hand.
“What do you say we all go inside?” I suggested.
“I think that would be a great idea Garrett. It has been years since we caught up. I would love to hear of your travels.” Carlisle responded. He means he wants to stare at my wife’s ass.
We all sat in the living room. Bella was on my lap apparently feeling Carlisle’s stare as well. No one really said a word. Awkward…
“So this place reeks of sex.” Emmett said, breaking the ice.
Nobody seemed to have a response to that, so we continued to sit in silence.
“Jasper, did you get the information I needed?” Bella finally asked
“No. I do have the names of some people we can talk to. I figure with my gift and your talents for persuasion we can get his location fairly quickly.”
“That’s nice Jasper. You want to help huh? You sure are a good guy, Jasper.” Bella responded with her fake smile.
“You know Bella. I am amazed. I can get no reading on your emotions at all. I’ve never had this happen before.”
“Oh really? What do you say we go outside and you can guess my emotions and I can let you know if you are correct?” Bella said in a pleasant tone. This should be fun.
“Yes Jasper, you should definitely spar with Bella. I have been working with her for two days but I’m sure you have a lot more that you can teach her.” I suggested. I liked this house. The two of them working out their issues outside was definitely preferred.
“I wouldn’t mind teaching my “little sister” a few things.” Jasper smirked. “Ya’ll stay inside and catch up with Garrett. I will go see what I can teach little Bella here.”
“Don’t hurt her, Jasper.” Alice whispered while glaring at Jasper.
“Wouldn’t dream of it. Bella and I are just going to have some fun, right Bella?”
“Right. No worries. I can’t wait to see what I can learn from the famous God of War.” Bella sat up and walked past Jasper heading straight to the front yard.
The two walked out, leaving me alone with Carlisle and his family.
Esme was the first to open her mouth.
“Bella hasn’t changed much in appearance. Gotten slightly paler it seems. But other than that she is the same gorgeous young woman I saw when she was human.”
“Yes, she is something. You should have seen her at our wedding.”
“You married her!” Edward shouted. Vampire hearing. No need to shout boy.
“Yes. We had a small private ceremony in our backyard facing the river. Her mother and father were there and stayed a few days. It was lovely. The greatest day of my life. Bella was so radiant in her beautiful white dress wearing her simple lovely veil. Yes, definitely the greatest day of my life.”
“That sounds so like Bella.” Alice whispered.
“So Garrett. Tell us about the killings in Egypt. I want to hear about Bella killing the CIA agents.” Rose said with way to much glee in her eyes.
‘Actually I killed a couple, Rose.”
“You did?” she asked doubtfully.
“Yes, I killed a few…”
“How did Bella kill them?” Rose asked, pressing for more.
“She shot twelve, drained one and cut the throats of four of them.” I told her. Esme’s face just got paler.
“That’s 17.” Emmett replied.
“Very good Emmett. Those high school math classes are paying off.” Asshole.
“News said 18 dead. That means you only killed the one you drained. Bella had to do her rest by herself? What were you doing? Hanging out? Observing? Drwaing fire away from her?” He asked, not letting it go.
“I let her do her thing Emmett. She doesn’t like it when I get in the way of those she considers her prey.” Suck on that you bastard.
“So, Bella really loves to kill people?” Esme asked.
“I think that now that she has turned, killing humans will probably turn into more of a hobby for her as opposed the single minded unstoppable, obsessive pursuit of a mission.”
“Has she shown any indication of having a gift, Garrett?” Carlisle asked. Why yes Carlisle. She is a goddess at sex. Let him stew on that.
“No. Other than your children’s” I stared at Edward, “gifts don’t appear to work on her. Although I must say she is very fast, abnormally fast and shows great aptitude for fighting.”
“How great an aptitude?” Carlisle asked again.
I was about to respond when Jasper Whitlock Hale Cullen came flying in the room through the front wall, landing on his back, apparently missing a hand. Bella stepped through the hole and stood above Jasper.
“Here’s your hand back. Get up and get out here. It’s time for round two.” Bella stepped back into the yard.
“Actually Carlisle her aptitude is pretty fucking great.”

“I can’t believe you did this Jasper.”
“You can’t?” he chuckled.
“You are a fucking asshole. You know I am here on business. This isn’t a time to catch up and have few laughs.”
“Yeah? What were you and Garrett doing when we got here?” he smirked. “Talking strategy?”
“We were training.” I replied. Most of the time we were training.
“Not what it smelt like to me.”
“Maybe I should rip your fucking nose off so it doesn’t confuse you any longer.” Asshole.
“Little sis, I don’t care how bad ass you were as a human. This is my fucking world and I am the reigning champion. You should probably watch your mouth now before I have to spank you.”
“I’m not your little sister you fuck. I’m an only child. I plan to keep it that way.” I growled. I held back with Garrett not wanting to hurt him. Wasn’t happening now.
“Well then. Make your mo…”
I hit him before he could finish that sentence. Not smiling now, are you Major? To his credit he came back at me. He landed a few shots but I didn’t give. I stood there and took them. I blocked the majority of them. I didn’t hit him. Not yet. I had to figure out his style. After 5 minutes of watching him try to kick me, punch me and sweep my legs, I was getting bored. He was fast. He was strong. But he wasn’t trained like I was. I knew Kung Fu. I knew Jujitsu. I knew Krav Maga. I knew my favorite and that was what I was going to use on him. Jeet Kune Do. I was going Bruce Lee on his redneck ass.
He moved forward to grab my hair. Stupid. Expecting me to move back I slid forward and threw my hand between his legs. Package in hand I twisted. He stood straight up and I lifted him by his balls. This is where the strength comes in. It allows me to practice ideas I have always had but didn’t have the upper body strength for. I let his balls go, tossed him up and side kicked him in his balls and watched him fly. He hit the ground and hopped up. One hand on his nuts and one hand ready to defend himself. He expected me to come after him.
“That feeling you are having right now, Major? The one emotion you aren’t used to having yourself. That’s fear, Jazzy. Your ass is mine.”
Jasper winced a little and let go of his balls. He feigned to strike.
“You don’t want to do that.”
“What?” he asked stopping.
“You were planning on feigning a run to the left and then going for my right arm to try to pin me. It won’t work. You are telegraphing your moves. Your strike plan is written all over your face.”
“You are good Bella. I give you credit. But you are way overconfident.”
“Hah!”
That stopped him in his tracks.
“What?” I asked.
“What do you mean Hah?”
“Me overconfident? This is my world and I am the reigning champion. Isn’t that what you said? Garrett told me you never lost a fight. Get ready to lose bitch. Look on the bright side. Usually people who fight me end up dead. I’m going to let you live. Maybe.”
He charged straight for me. This was new. Seemed like a gorilla attack. I guess he was out of options. I grabbed his hand when he reached me. Rolling back and placing my feet on his chest I rolled him back using his momentum and twisted his ankle. In humans this would snap the wrist completely. Apparently in Jasper it made his hand come off. He flew to the ground and screamed. I continued my roll and stood up, charging. He tried to reach up and stop me, thinking I was going for his neck. I side kicked him into the… oh shit. He just flew into the living room. Oh well. His house. He can pay to fix it. I walked in and tossed his hand to him.
“Here’s your hand back. Get up and get out here. It’s time for round two.”
GPOV
“So how did the training go Jasper?” I smiled at him as Alice helped him put his hand back on, sealing it with her venom.
“Go to Hell, Garrett.” Jasper mumbled. Apparently he had not wanted round two.
Bella was stretched out on the sofa reading some weapons magazine she had picked up in Dublin. Edward was pretending to read and actually staring at her. Carlisle took Esme upstairs the minute Bella walked in and tossed Jasper’s hand to him. Apparently he is fucking the hell out of her by the sounds of Esme’s moans. Let’s all hope he doesn’t scream out Bella’s name. That could become awkward. We were currently waiting for dark so Bella and I could go to one of the soldiers that Jasper had found who may know where Frank Collins was. Jasper had planned to go but I wasn’t sure if he was in the mood now.
Emmett and I began playing Call of Duty while Rose moved closer to Bella and began asking her questions about some weapon or something. Bella was giving her a highly detailed explanation of the technical aspects of the weapon and Rose was pretending to be interested. Maybe she was. Bella sounded bored. Alice wasn’t able to talk to Bella because she was busy sealing Jasper’s hand back on. He finally started moving his fingers.
Alice turned to Bella.
“Bella I was hoping we could talk more. Do you have to go out tonight?”
“Yes I do…”
Oh shit. Bella just got that look in her eye.
“Hey Alice. I have a great idea. We are just going to visit a foot soldier. No guards or anything. Just an information gathering quick little trip. Why don’t Garrett and Jasper stay home and you can come with me? We can catch up. Talk a little. You can tell me about the high school you are going to.”
“Really? That would be so great!”
“Bella do you think that is a good idea? I mean we always go together. And Jasper, his gift would let you know if the guy is telling the truth.” I said. This was just mean. Alice didn’t deserve this.
“I can tell if someone is lying Garrett. Keep playing X Box with Emmett. Enjoy the night. Alice and I need some girl time, right?”
“Alice…” Jasper started.
“Relax, Jasper. Stay here. I want to go with Bella.” Alice told him raising her eyebrow.
“Can I go with you Bella? Edward asked.
“Oh… uh Edward, this is probably not the best thing for you to see. I mean, it could get nasty. These IRA guys are tough to break. You can take it though, can’t you Alice?”
“Yes Bella.” Alice nodded her head excitedly. Poor dumb kid.
“I think I can handle it Bella.” Edward grinned.
“Okay, Edward. If you are sure…”
“I am Bella.”
“You two have to stay back and promise not to get involved okay?” Bella said, as if talking to children.
And like children they just nodded their heads. I suppose I should be jealous about Edward going with her but I couldn’t. Stupid boy didn’t understand he had no chance. Maybe by seeing who Bella really is, while she is in her natural environment he would come to understand.
“Garrett do you mind if young Edward comes with me?” She asked, barely holding in a smile. I shook my head. A small part of me wanted to save these poor innocent fools from what they were about to see. Another part of me couldn’t wait to see their faces when they got back.
“Of course not Bella.” I replied.
“Okay. Let’s go see Shawn O’Donnell.” Bella walked out with Edward and Alice following her like puppy dogs. Except Edward was a puppy dog who stared at her ass like he wanted to sniff it.
I listened to the car pull away. Jasper looked at me.
“You aren’t jealous at all about this?” he asked.
“Of Alice? No. Bella isn’t in to other women unless she is planning to kill that woman.”
“You know who I am talking about asshole.”
“You honestly are going to sit there and tell me I should be jealous that my wife is around Edward fucking Cullen? Even if he was her type she doesn’t like younger men. Seriously Jasper. How is the hand feeling by the way?”
“Fuck you Garrett.”
“Hey, you deserved it.” I reminded him.
Jasper grinned. “Yeah I did. I would do it again to. Damn that girl can fight Garrett. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“I know. She is amazing, isn’t she?”

“Bella, do you still enjoy classical music?” Edward asked from the backseat.
“No, not really. When I was being held in a cell during torture training they sometimes piped that crap in for hours at a high volume while I was trying to sleep. It stuck in my head. I swore if I ever saw a guy playing a piano again I was going to shoot him in the balls.”
“Oh…”
“So what do you like to listen to Bella?” Alice asked.
“Pretty much rock. Classic rock, modern rock. I’m a big fan of Guns n Roses. Sometimes when I would be waiting for a target to show up in my rifle scope I would listen to Knocking on Heaven’s Door, over and over again on my I Pod. It’s a very relaxing song when you are waiting to blow someone’s head off.”
“I see. That sounds… nice?” Alice commented.
“Yes. Now it’s very important that you do not say anything to this man. Let me do the talking. Edward if you read something in his mind you think I need to know, do not tell me until we are done. Some people while being tortured will start thinking of the same lies over and over again, trying to make themselves believe it is the truth. So keep it to yourself until later.”
“Yes… of course Bella.”
“So Edward, got any high school loves? Been to anymore proms?” I figured we had a few minutes’ drive. Making small talk would be better than awkward silence.
“No. I… no Bella. No proms since ours.”
“That was such a nice night. Do you remember the blue dress Alice? Wasn’t it cute?”
“Yes Bella! Yes it was.” Alice gets so excited about clothes.
“I wore a dress like it once in Juarez. Not exactly like it. A lot shorter and probably, yeah, a lot tighter but the same color. I had to slip in and out of it quickly so it had to be a little more durable fabric.”
“What do you mean you had to slip out of it Bella?”
“Well, funny story. I had a polymer slim handled icepick glued beneath my breasts to kill this Cartel guy. So I had to pretty much show him my tits to distract him and then stab him in the neck with the pick. Then I jumped out of my dress to distract he guards outside the door and kill them. You would be amazed Alice, how easy it is to kill a guy if you are a naked girl.”
I laughed. They didn’t. See? Witty conversation is lost on these two. So much for making small talk.
“Bella, how did you get involved in this?” Edward asked.
“Actually a lot of it is thanks to you.”
“Me?”
“Yes Edward. You have no idea how much you leaving me in High School helped my self-esteem. I mean at first it nearly killed me right? I was so upset. I wouldn’t eat. I walked around moping. Then I made a friend named Jacob, but then he said he didn’t want to be friends. I was truly pathetic. Then after graduation I guess reality slapped me in the face. I realized that what we had was a fling. It was teenage love. It didn’t mean anything. It wasn’t real life. You were an eternal 17 year old boy and I was growing up. Looking back then I realized that what we had really wasn’t that special. No different than most first high school relationships. Not that we didn’t have our moments with the whole James fiasco. I mean that was drama right? But seriously I overreacted to the whole situation. I acted like… well an overemotional 17 year old drama queen to be honest. I’m not proud of it. Then after graduation, I saw a brochure at Dad’s office for the Army. I told Dad I was going to look into it and he laughed. That pissed me off. I joined the next day. Two years later I took a psych test that showed me to be morally flexible. Probably why I was never afraid to be around a bunch of vampires. Anyway I get recruited by the CIA, being a female assassin sounded a lot more exciting than a security analyst, and now here I am. So yes. By leaving me Edward you really did me a favor. So thank you.”
“Uh. Your welcome?” Edward replied.
“Okay we are here. Edward hand me my purse sitting in the back seat.”
Edward did as he was told.
“What is in that bag?” he asked.
“Oh the standard. A couple tampons left over from my human days, a change of clothes, Duct tape, a couple pair of pliers, a file, some wire cutters, and a small hand saw. Now listen, Alice, try not to look so cute. Edward… keep looking like that. Now there may be a lot of blood. I plan to eat this guy when I am done because you wouldn’t believe this newborn hunger I got going on. If the blood bothers you, get out. He is mine. Can’t have you guys eating my dinner, you know?” I winked at him and walked to the front door. I turned and they were still in the car. I shrugged my shoulders.
“You guys wanna watch me work or what?” They slowly got out of the car. The house was somewhat secluded. I could see lights from nearby houses but they were far enough away no one should hear the screaming.
I knocked on the door. It opened.
“Yeah lass. Whadda ya want?”
“You Shawn O’Donnell?”
“Yeah, who the fuck wants to know?”
I hit him in the face, not to hard but hard enough to knock him on his ass. Edward and Alice walked in behind me. I grabbed Shawn by the throat and carried him into the kitchen. Throwing him on a wooden chair I taped his arms and upper body to the chair.
“What the fuck kind of devil are ye? Nobody moves that fast.”
I snarled raising my head and looking him in the eyes.
“I’m the worst kind of devil. But I have good news for you Shawny boy. You tell me what I want to know I may let you live. You don’t and you are going to suffer so much pain you will be grateful when you reach hell.”
He was shaking. He just pissed his pants. This was a good start.
“Now I have guests over tonight and it would be rude of me to stay away playing with you. They have flown a long way to spend time with little old me so I would consider it in bad taste to make myself unavailable.”
I pulled out the wire cutters and grabbed his finger from behind, letting him feel the metal blades over his pinky.
“Frank Collins. Where is he?”
“Hey lady…” I snapped his pinky off. He screamed. Edward held his breath and looked like he wanted to puke. Alice’s eyes got wide and she froze. I winked at them with a smile. This was fun. Kinda like when we all used to hang out after school.
“Unless hey lady is the name of the street Collins lives on, you better try that again. Just in case you have already forgotten the pain, let me remind you.” I cut off his ring finger. He screamed again but this was more like a really loud squeal.
“Now, if the next words out of your mouth aren’t a location then I am taking two more digits. Once we finish with your fingers and toes I am going to practice my skills at castration with only a kitchen knife and a pair of pliers. After that we see if I can get enough of your skin to make a new purse. I’m thinking of starting at your belly button and unwinding it from there around your back in two inch strips.
Now I am going to ask you nicely one more time, where the fuck is Frank Collins?”
GPOV
3 hours later Bella walked through the door smiling and jumped on my lap. I looked and saw Edward and Alice walking slowly in the door.
“Have a good night honey?”
“A great night Garrett. I found Collins’ location. We all had a good talk and caught up. It was wonderful… Oh Carlisle… I love that sweater on you… Anyway Garrett I only had to cut off 6 of his fingers before he talked so it didn’t take that long. Then I went ahead and drained him and burned his house down. It was fun. We had fun. We had fun, didn’t we Alice?”
“Yes Bella. Fun.” Alice was staring at the ground.
“Edward? You enjoyed yourself, didn’t you?”
“Uh… uh… of course Bella. It was… good to catch up. Good…”
“Baby, I am really turned on. You know how I get after I torture a guy. Can you take me outside?”
I had to laugh. Jasper and Rose were grinning. Emmett looked at Bella in awe. Esme looked disturbed. I picked her up and carried her outside. As I was walking out I heard Carlisle tell Esme that they needed to go upstairs.
“That was mean, my little she devil.” I grinned.
“Shut up and kiss me Garrett.”
