Protecting Maddie

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 18:

BPOV

“They are here.” Alice told me. I had seen it as well.

“Motel 6?” I would expect something nicer for fancy Euro trash.

“It’s not like they got a lot of choice. Besides that is one of the few places that probably takes cash with no questions asked.” Peter said smiling.

I supposed so. I felt Peter’s emotions. He was… giddy.

Two days after Maddie’s birthday party I was able to copy Jasper’s power. Another box in my mind. I had also learned to read minds and see the future at the same time. I added, seeing other’s powers to the mix at the same time yesterday as well. More than that though and things began to get a little weird.

Maddie would be at the house with Alice, Garrett and Char. I refused to leave her with less than three vampires.

Peter, Jasper and I were heading into town. We didn’t want to confront them in a hotel but I wanted an idea of the other two’s powers and to read their minds to make sure they haven’t told Aro where we are.

Jasper didn’t seem worried about the fight coming up but he wanted to know the powers of the other two. Peter had only one plan of attack. Attack.

We drove to the front of the hotel and got out. We could all smell vampire. I walked to the side of the hotel. The sound of their voices was obvious from the second floor. The hotel wasn’t very full, less than a quarter capacity. I looked and saw the power spikes. Demetri and Alistair were the trackers. I don’t know how I knew but I did. Same tone of color, different brightness. Alistair must be the brighter. I saw two other glows.

“One of the two with them can control metal. Magnetism to an extreme. The other can paralyze with a touch. Whoever he touches stays frozen until he frees them. Stay clear of him. He is mine.”

“How you figure darlin?”

“His power won’t work on me. And it’s not like there is a lot of metal around to manipulate. So handle the other three.”

“Sounds good I suppose. You sure you are ready for this?”

“Yes. Now be quiet and don’t think loud. I have to hear what they are thinking and saying.”

“How the hell are we supposed to not think loud?”

“Shhh!”

I opened my mind and heard the thoughts around me flow in.

/I wonder if she will ever let me do her in the… /

“No. Not unless you have been a very good boy. Now shut up.” I said glaring at Peter. Jasper chuckled.

Peter was still staring at my ass. I admit from his perspective my ass did look pretty good.

I saw into the motel room. They were standing around talking. Planning.

/If I can bring back the girl I can raise her to be my mate. Aro wouldn’t deny me. If she is as strong as Aro thinks she will be, her power must be amazing whatever it might be. We could overthrow the Volturi eventually. And she is so close./

/Why hasn’t he called for backup? This is crazy. We know the girl has vampire protectors. I have sensed them. I hope once he has the kid I can leave. Being around them makes me nervous./

/I’m hungry. Wonder if Demetri will let us feed. I don’t see the problem. We take the little bitch and give her to Aro so he can have a new daughter or pet or whatever that sick bastard wants her for./

/I wonder if her mother is hot?/

/Should I call Aro? No, if I don’t get her, if the vampires she is with escape with her, he will not be happy. Best to tell him I haven’t found them yet. Idiot still thinks I am looking in the South. He probably wouldn’t be happy about bringing Alistair in. He doesn’t want anyone outside the Volturi to know about this girl. Once I have her, Alistair is dead. As long as I clean it up, Aro shouldn’t be angry./

“We strike at twilight. We know where the girl lives. We know there are three vampires with her. We don’t know if one is her mother. If it is, she could probably be a powerful newborn and may have whatever the abilities this girl could potentially have.”

“What abilities? It would be good to know.”

“Aro wouldn’t tell me. We don’t need to know.”

“But these vampires who are with her. If one is her mother and the other two know how valuable the girl could be, this could be trouble. Why didn’t Alec and Jane come with us?”

“Do not question the Brothers. Besides you know Jane gets jealous. Aro probably figured she would make an excuse to kill the girl.”

“It still sounds like trouble.”

“We are Volturi. Act like it. Nobody can defeat us. We are the most feared vampires in the world.” Demetri said. I felt his emotions briefly. Amazingly confident.

I looked at my man and my brother standing behind me. Those idiots in the Motel room were definitely not the most feared vampires in the world. We were. They were about to find that out in a hard way.

“They strike at twilight.” I whispered. I opened Alice’s gift and it came to me immediately.

“They are going to spy on us from the west side from the mountain.”

“Excellent. We get there first to the high ground. No need to follow them. Peter call… would you mind calling Alice and letting them know?”

Jasper had been getting better about not ordering Peter around. I had asked him to work on it and he agreed. I told him if he didn’t I would tell Alice what he really thought about the clothes she buys him and how he thinks her oral skills in the bedroom could use slight improvement.

Peter seemed confused.

“Yeah, be glad to Jasper.” He looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders and held in a smile. I’m the only one who gets to tell my man what to do.

We ran to the west mountain and took the higher ground. We would be leaving them open access to the house but we would divert their attention away. Plus my three friends currently in the stall could take care of anyone who escaped. Maddie insisted they wait in the stalls to protect Princess. Rather than watching for her to sneak out to the stalls with a torch and probably burning down the whole damn thing down it was decided to do what she wanted. We had learned to pick our battles with Maddie.

We found appropriate cover and realized we still had an hour to go.

“So uh, what do you guys want to do now?”

“Well I don’t know what Jasper wants to do but we could…”

“So not the time Peter.” I swear that boy has sex on the mind constantly. Not that I minded. I mean he was so damn good at it. It made my toes curl just thinking about it. Last night he talked me into dressing up in this Princess Leia metal bikini he had shipped in from some internet store and he dressed like Han Solo. Damn. I didn’t even mind wearing the collar.

Focus Bella. Maybe a peek. Yep he was thinking about it. May have to repeat it tonight. Of course after this fight he is probably going to throw me on the ground and pound me over and over and ov…

“Once the fight starts Alistair is going to run. We can’t let him get away.”

“What?” Peter and I asked at the same time. Jasper was not amused.

“You two got your heads in this fight or are your minds elsewhere?”

“Of course Jasper.” I told him slightly offended and slightly embarassed.

“That’s good Bella because they are after Maddie.”

That got me focused. Even Peter seemed to lose the horny look in his eye. We were overconfident. We needed to focus.

“Bella when they are below us reach out and take their powers. You think you can take all four at once? Two will come at you regardless. Demetri and Alistair can’t turn theirs off. The other two you are going to have to take. But if you can’t, or if it is going to distract you…”

“I got this Jasper.”

“Good. I am going to make them confused for as long as possible. Bella you go after Captain Freeze first. Paralyze him and then touch Alistair. I can keep him from going too far while you do it. If Alistair gets away, go after him. He is the only one who can find your daughter anywhere in the world. He has to die. Remember that.”

I nodded my head.

“And the other two?”

“Magnet boy and Demetri? Let me and Peter worry about them.”

We crouched in silence. I took a quick look and whispered that they would be fifty feet below us in five minutes. Thanks to the cross wind they shouldn’t smell us.

There they were. I reached out with my mind and… whoa. Four jolts shook my body like I just had a major orgasm. Damn. That was cool…

Unfortunately my shaking caught their attention.

Jasper threw feelings of confusion at them. I had to get my head in the game. I dove straight for Captain Freeze. He was confused but saw me coming and did what came natural to him. He reached out his hands. Making it very easy to paralyze him giving him a taste of his own medicine for the first time. The box in my mind opened like second nature. He stood frozen with his hands out. I was getting good at this. Concentrate Bella. Peter and Japer attacked. Peter had Demetri. Jasper went after magnet boy. I turned to my next target… and that son of a bitch was gone. I looked towards the house. Not that way. I turned up and saw him. Heading for the top of the mountain. I took off after him. I was faster. His ass was mine.

We reached the peak of the mountain before I caught up to him. I kept expecting him to turn and fight. He never did. I tackled him from behind and we both fell over the other side. We rolled down a ways breaking through trees as we fell. I never let him go. He was toast. I finally got a foot hold and stopped our decent. Unfortunately I lost a grip on him and he wound up ten feet away on the high ground. I should have paralyzed him on the way down.

“Please. I have nothing against you. I had to do what they told me too.”

“Why?”

“Yes, why?”

“I… they would have killed me.”

“Now there is a fucking irony.” Okay I curse a lot away from Maddie. I admit it.

“Please, I don’t want to fight you, but I will if I have too. I am much older than you.”

“So?”

“So?”

“Yeah, so you are older than me. Big deal. You are scared of me, aren’t you?”

“Why would…”

I let loose Jasper’s power. I emitted total fear towards him. He yelped, yep he actually yelped like Scooby Doo, and took off back up the mountain. It would have been funny if I wasn’t so damn mad I fell off the mountain peak.

Dammit. I got to remember when this guy gets really scared he runs. When he gets nervous or confused he runs. He basically runs. I bet when he isn’t running he is hiding. I’ve never ran. I have made some strategic retreats to regroup and protect my daughter but I have never ran. With a deep sigh, I took off after him. He ran back over the peak and descended down. Unfortunately for him I was even faster going down. That didn’t sound right. Focus Bella! I caught him nearly at the bottom of the mountain and this time remembered to paralyze him. We fell a ways down, him in my grip, right into the back of magnet boy who was still doing his best with Jasper. He was missing an arm making me think Jasper was playing with him. Magnet boy looked panicked and Jasper was smiling, circling him. The look on Jasper’s face when we hit magnet boy was worth the fall alone. I got up quickly leaving Alistair on the ground and ran to Captain Freeze. I began tearing him to pieces. Eww that is so gross. I mean there is no blood but just ewww. Venom goes everywhere.

I took a lighter out of my pocket. What was left of a lighter. Apparently it had been quite smashed on my falls down both sides of the mountain. Dammit. Hope Peter still had his. Should have known better than to bring a cheap Bic lighter. Speaking of my man, I wondered where he was. Neither him nor Demetri were around.

“Bella look out!”

I turned around ready to fight only to see Demetri’s body tossed by Peter, fly into me knocking me on my back. Demetri was on top and turned to attack me while I lay on the ground. He came down to bite my neck and I slammed my fist in his face. He must have not been very strong because he flew back off of me with his head almost turned completely around. I jumped up and grabbed him tossing him to Peter who caught him in midair and wrapped him up while biting through his neck. His body stood and his head dropped off.

“What the fuck Peter?!”

“Sorry babe. I wanted to throw him through a tree and I missed the tree and you came out of nowhere. It’s not like I was throwing him at you. You just got in the way…”

I was about to yell at him more until we heard the sound of breaking marble. Looks like Jasper is done playing around. The three of us walked up to Alistair who was still frozen. His eyes were moving though. He was in a panic.

“Sorry, guy. But I can’t have anyone looking for my daughter. Those who do have to die. That’s the rules.” Peter tore him to pieces in the blink of an eye.

I turned around and began gathering vampire pieces. Just gross. I expected to hear Peter and Jasper doing the same. Instead I heard snickering. I turned around to see Jasper and Peter holding in laughter.

“Something funny boys?”

“You uh, feeling a little breezy darling? Your clothes are looking a little worse for wear.”

“Hey look, I fell down a mountain through about a hundred trees over some rocks. Yeah my clothes got dirty.” I turned around a little annoyed. Like they were perfectly clean. We had been in a fight. Now that I had calmed down though something did feel strange…

“Your right Peter. She does have a nice ass.” I heard Jasper say. I spun around.

“What the fuck Jasper? You better hope I don’t tell Alice you said that!”

“I’m sure everyone will agree with me Bella. Especially with one of your uh, finer features showing itself to the world.”

I tuned my head back but couldn’t see my ass. But my hand felt my ass. Motherfucker…

At some point during my slide down the mountains my jeans and panties had a large hole ripped in them. Directly over my ass. My pale ass that was currently shining in the moonlight.

I would have been bright red if I still had blood.

I turned to the two idiots covering my ass with my hands.

“You two clean this up. I am going to change.”

I took off running for home to the howling of their laughter. No Princess Leia for that asshole tonight.

Maddie POV

“What was that flash that just ran by?”

“Oh that was your mother.” Aunt Alice told me smiling.

“She okay?” I figured she would come straight to me.

“Yes but it looks like we will have to go shopping for a new pair of jeans soon.” Yep Aunt Alice was definitely laughing. So were Charlotte and Garrett.

Mom came out a minute later while I continued brushing Princess’s mane. She was wearing a pair of shorts and a clean t shirt.

“So everybody okay Mommy?”

“Yes, everybody is fine Baby.”

“Kill the bad vamps?”

“Yep.”

“That’s good. What’s for dinner?” Funny the things you can used to.

“Hmmm?”

“Dinner, Mom. You won’t let me cook so I kinda need you to do it. There isn’t exactly a McDonalds around here either. Are you okay? You didn’t get hurt did you? You seem to be acting strange.”

“No, I am fine baby. Didn’t get hurt.”

“Because you really don’t seem…”

“Your mother lost an important part of her pants when she fell down the mountain Maddie.” Aunt Alice answered, smiling.

“What part Mom?”

That was strange. I hadn’t ever seen Mom fall, much less off a mountain.

“It’s not really important now Maddie. Let’s go get you something to eat.” Mom walked towards the house with Aunt Alice, Garrett and Charlotte following her. They were all laughing. I turned to look for Peter and Uncle Jasper on the mountain. I didn’t see them but I saw a fire. Then it was out.

Walking into the house Garrett and Char were playing video games while Aunt Alice helped Mom cook. What is it with vampires and video games? Must be because they have a lot of time on their hands with the whole not sleeping thing.

I was a little more worried about Mom than I may have let on. It felt good to have her home. I knew she would be okay though. I trusted Peter. Peter never would have let her fight if he thought she would be hurt. He promised me it wouldn’t be a problem. Peter had never broken a promise to me.

“Maddie would you throw this wrapper away?” Aunt Alice asked me. I grabbed it from her hand and walked to the trash can. Something caught my eye. Why would those be in there?

I pulled them out. Man they were dirty.

“Mom are these a pair of your jeans?”

“Uh yeah.” Mom answered without turning around.

“Why did you throw them away?”

“Uh, just put those back in the trash can Maddie. They got a rip in them.”

I looked closer at the jeans.

“Rip? Looks like the whole butt got torn out. Hey are those a pair of your panties in the bottom of the trash? What happened to them? What were you and Peter doing up there?”

“Baby don’t you need to take a bath? Why don’t you do that while I get dinner ready? Go on now.”

I sighed and walked up the stairs. Adult vampires were weird.
