Chapter 26:

BPOV

“Yeah, right there baby.” I whimpered. He found my G spot so easily I really didn’t need to guide him. I felt every blade of grass on my back as he continued to press me into the ground, my legs spread open and wrapped around him. He was fucking me so hard. His mouth was on my nipple, biting down the hard tip and flicking it with his tongue. I felt my nails breaking his skin on his back slightly. I couldn’t hold him tight enough. The pressure starting inside me and spreading into my belly was beginning to overtake me. Peter didn’t need any fancy tricks to make me cum. He just had to throw me down and take me. I felt so small in his arms. Small and safe. As long as he was inside me everything was right in the world. Unlike his personality most of the time, when he made love to me he did it with such and urgency, passion and intensity, you would never guess he was the laid back joker he acts like most of the time. . Oh fuck, he just somehow got deeper. This never gets old. I could live my eternal life underneath him while he fills me up and takes his pleasure form me. I couldn’t hold back anymore and my hips tried to buck around his but my hips were pressed solidly into the ground that was quickly imprinting with the shape of my back and ass. I couldn’t move so I just lay, surrendering, trying to melt into him. His mouth met mine while I moaned and I felt him spill into me. He never stopped. He never did. Just continued to pound inside me like a runaway train. There was no stopping him. His fingers gripped my thighs and I felt my flesh press into my legs where his fingertips were. There was no escape. I did not want one. His mouth rose above mine.

“Who do you belong to Bella?”

“You baby. You forever.” I whispered, barely able to talk.

“You damn well belong to me. You are mine. Body and soul you belong to me.” I knew what was coming next. I tensed, ready for the orgasm that always follows. The mind blowing orgasm that shakes me to my core.

He dropped his mouth to where my shoulder met my throat and bit. It was painful at first. But then I felt him. His cock in me. His teeth in me. The pleasure radiating from his mouth. The orgasmic bliss that started at my pelvis and my neck and met in the middle. I screamed and shook as if I was having a seizure. He held me even tighter, never stopping fucking me. He only fucked me slower and stronger. I couldn’t stop shaking. I completed melted inside and out. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even clench his cock tightly inside me. He had conquered my body and soul. Finally his teeth left my body and my legs dropped from his waist. He lay stretched out on me, licking the fresh bite mark on my neck to make it fade slightly. It would always be there. It was my mark. I had marked him once as well. But he kept coming back to mine. And I wasn’t going to complain. He dominated my body down below. He dominated my soul up top. He began licking me, starting at my toes and not stopping until he had placed his sweet scent over every inch of the front of my body. I rolled over in the grass and he gently brushed the grass and leaves from my back and continued scenting me. His hands stopped at my ass, and I briefly wondered if he was going to take me there. Instead I felt his tongue continue to make sure every part of my body was clean and smelt of him. I don’t know why he felt the need to mark and scent me. Nobody was on this island except for Alice, Jasper and Maddie. I guess he just did it because he loved doing it.

“I love you so much baby.” I whispered, feeling his tongue leaving the small of my back and continuing up. I had my hands on my arms and felt so relaxed I could have lain like this for days.

“I love you with my whole soul, my Bella.” He breathed into my skin. I shivered. Only Peter can make me shiver.

My soul mate. The one who completes me. The gift I was given when I felt so alone. He lifted me up into his arms and placed me on my feet.

“Don’t you dare take a shower when we get back to the house. I want you smelling just like this.”

“Okay.” I whispered. He kissed me deeply and we walked slowly, hand in hand back to the Island house. We were on an island Jasper and Peter owned together. A place they bought after I was changed, which they decided our family would use to get away from it all. 60 miles of the Costa Rican Coast, uninhabited and far away from shipping lanes. It was the last place vampires would look for us. It was a place for Maddie to rest, and relax. To enjoy her last human days. We had been here for 6 months. I held her off, by saying she did not want to go through Christmas dealing with new born issues. I held her off somehow until she had her 18th birthday on this very Island. There was no holding her off any longer. Peter and Jasper had discreetly had ships supplying the island with game for the past 6 months. We swam into Costa Rica every few weeks to feed. But that wouldn’t be good enough for Maddie. She didn’t need to be around people at all. I trusted her not to kill people. But I knew if she accidentally did, it would weigh on her soul for eternity. I wouldn’t take chances and the family agreed.

We saw her next to Alice’s sparkling form lying on the beach. They were sunbathing. At least Maddie was. Alice was just enjoying the warmth. Maddie was concerned about her appearance as a vampire. She had Alice put her through several waxings in places I didn’t like to think about before I found out. I was going to tell her that vampires have no body hair below the neck when they were turned but the damage was done and I really did not want her pissed at Alice this close to being a newborn.

“Hello baby girl.”

“Hello Bella.”

“I was talking to Maddie.”

“I know. I just like being called baby girl occasionally.” Alice smiled. Dork.

“When Mom?”

I took a deep breath and looked at Peter. He gave me a knowing look. After several months of deep discussions we determined that it was no point in trying to stop her. It was also determined that this was for the best.

“When do you want to Maddie?”

“Since I turned 16.”

“Okay.”

“Okay? Really?” she squealed.

“You do realize you are getting excited about three days at least of the most excruciating pain imaginable?”

“I can take it, Mom.”

“You won’t have a choice. Once it is done, there is no stopping.”

“I know.” She was so serious. I felt tears that wouldn’t fall pooling in my eyes.

“Tonight. Enjoy the day. Eat, drink. Tonight we change you.” I whispered, turning to walk away.

“Mom?”

I stopped but didn’t turn around. I didn’t want her to see the look on my face.

“Yes Maddie?”

“I want everyone to do it.”

“What?”

“Everyone. I want you, Peter, Alice and Jasper to bite me.”

I slumped my shoulders. A part of me was glad she didn’t want me to do this alone. Another part worried me greatly. Could I stand by and watch others bite my baby? I suppose I could close my eyes.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

It was her choice. I had to remember that.

“Unless it bothers you. Then it can be just us if…”

“No baby. This will be exactly the way you want it.”

I started walking away again so I could go sob in the bedroom with Peter holding me when I heard her again.

“Mom, hold on.”

I stopped walking again. I heard her walk up behind me, her gentle hands in my hair.

“You had a couple twigs and some leaves in your hair. I got them.”

I finally turned to see her smiling at me. She winked and hugged me. She walked back to the sun chair, sitting and watching the waves while Alice read a magazine next to her.

My baby girl.

---

Bella was quiet when we got back to the house. She turned on the TV and waited patiently for the satellite to pick up a signal. Jasper walked up and whispered to her. She nodded her head and I could see she began to relax allowing Jasper to work his magic on her. I mouthed a thank you to Jasper and walked outside.

Taking out my phone I ran to the highest peak on the Island.

“Hey Petey. What’s shaking? How is our girl?” Garrett answered. Same greeting every time.

“We are changing her tonight.”

“We can be there by morning if you want.”

“Nah. Wait a few weeks. You know how disorienting it can be. The fewer vampires the better. Between Jasper and Bella keeping her calm I think we will be okay. I will give you the all clear as soon as she is ready. I know she misses you guys.”

Garrett and Char spent a few months with us here. Basically through Christmas to Maddie’s dismay. Hell to all our dismay. Charlotte bought her a vibrator and Garrett bought her ten 24 packs of batteries. The blush on her face could have lit the night. If Bella and I could have blushed we would have. Awkward. Very fucking awkward.

Bella and I had gotten her a diamond bracelet. She cried a little. Jasper bought her a mood ring, and Alice got her clothes, as always. Mostly bikinis I would never let her wear and other assorted beach wear. Our time on the Island had been very peaceful. The peace would be short lived. We had Maddie’s newborn year to get through and in a couple years we couldn’t ignore the fact that Bella and Maddie’s deaths would have to be faked. We may be able to hold off five more years. It killed Bella. It killed Maddie. But Maddie made the decision. She told Bella if it came down to a choice of her grandparents or spending forever with Bella she would always choose Bella. Nothing would ever change her mind.

“So what is going on in the States?”

Bella and Alice had both decided to only look occasionally for our future on the Island. We didn’t want to know what was going on with the so called war. Fuck them and their power games. Still it paid to keep up with the news.

“It appears the war has moved back overseas where it belongs. Three major battles so far. No major losses on either side. Eleazar continues to search the U.S. for potential gifted humans and vampires while the Volturi hold Carmen in Italy. The States are fairly quiet other than vampires avoiding Eleazar. The Cullens are nowhere to be found. They are hiding very low, protecting Eddie.”

“Good. If they are hiding, they aren’t bothering us.”

“What are you going to do if the Volturi come after your family?”

‘Kill them all.”

“We will be there with you.”

“Never doubted it for a second.”

“How long are you planning on staying there?”

“At least a year.”

“Good. You will keep our girl safe there. Stay until this all blows over.”

“Ten four. See you in a couple weeks brother.”

I walked back towards the house and smelt a cheeseburger. Maddie’s favorite food. Ketchup, mayo, lettuce, sweet pickles, Swiss cheese, and sesame seed buns. The last one she would ever eat. I wondered how Bella would cope with that. Cooking for Maddie was one of the joys in her life.

I admit I was excited a little. This would make Maddie so much safer.

I admit I was extremely depressed as well.

I remember her telling me to save her mother. When she said that, she sealed her own fate as well. The funny thing is, at 7 years old she already realized this. She knew it. She would never leave her mother. I wonder if all mothers and daughters have the same bond as these two. Probably. But Maddie and Bella always seemed to have a little more. They couldn’t survive without each other. I guess after AJ died, they clung to each other like they were each other’s lifelines and would never let go. Tonight would be the glue that cemented all of us together forever. But especially those two. I was touched that she wanted all of us to be a part of it.

How was I going to bite her? I loved her with my whole soul, just as much as I loved Bella. The idea of hurting her was too much to bare.

It had to be done.

Maddie POV

Mom was so upset, but she was putting a brave face on. Peter was upset as well. He wasn’t cracking jokes like normal. They were sitting next to each other on the couch. I ran and jumped between them. Of course they moved out of the way before I could land. I watched the news in silence sitting between them and holding both their hands.

Finally the sun went down. It was time to be brave. I had been preparing for this since I was 8. The moment had arrived.

“It’s time Mom.”

She let out a breath and nodded. I got up and walked to the bathroom, taking care of business for the last time and then getting in the shower. I may go through hell over the next couple of days but I would do it smelling good.

I picked a white strapless sun dress that ended just above my knees. The strapless part would allow Mom to pull it down and bite me over my heart. I walked into my bedroom to see Uncle Jasper and Aunt Alice at the end of my bed and Mom and Peter at the head of the bed. Aunt Alice had placed white satin sheets on the bed. I also saw straps at the head and foot of the bed. Uncle Jasper told me these would only be used the first couple of days so I wouldn’t fall off the bed while jerking around in pain or injure my skin trying to claw my way out of it. Uncle Jasper has a way with words.

I lay down on my back, placing my head on the pillow. Four pale faces stared down at me.

“How do you want this Maddie?”

“I want Aunt Alice to bite my wrists and Uncle Jasper to bite my ankles. Peter… I want you to bite my neck and Mom, I want you to bite me over my heart.”

They all nodded. Mom had so much venom in her eyes I can’t believe tears weren’t falling.

“I love you all. Mom. I love you so much. You know this.”

She nodded and rubbed my head. The same way she still does when I have the occasional nightmare. She still lays with me at night. She wouldn’t have to do that any longer. Now we can hold each other at night.

“I love you my Maddie.” I was glad she didn’t ask me if I still wanted this. Maybe she had accepted it. My heart was racing. I was scared.

“I love you all. Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper. Peter. Peter you have been so much to me and Mom. You really did save our lives in more ways than one. I can never thank you enough. I love you Peter.”

“I love you too, Maddie.”

Aunt Alice whispered in my ear that she loved me and Uncle Jasper did the same.

I turned and saw Peter place the framed photo of my Dad next to the bed. I wonder how he would feel about this. I knew though in my heart. He would never want me to leave Mom. He would understand.

“I love you Dad.” I whispered. Mom and I had never been particularly religious. But I knew he heard me from somewhere. If vampires and wolves and other things existed, Heaven must. I knew he was there, watching over me and Mom. He gave us Peter.

“I’m ready.”

I calmed my breathing, just like I do in martial arts. Mom leaned over and kissed me gently on the lips. Soon she would feel the same way she did to me before she was turned. I had gotten so used to her cool skin, I wasn’t sure how I would react.

“I love you, Baby.”

I felt the top of my dress being lowered, still protecting my modesty. She placed her lips over my heart. She sobbed. Please be strong Mom.

She bit me.

It felt weird at first. Not a big deal. It was warm. She broke the skin. I could feel that. Peter leaned down and whispered that he loved me. I felt his lips on my neck and then his teeth. He hesitated and finally bit. Oh my God, that hurt. I felt sharp pains on my ankles and wrists and tried to jerk back. Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper. The straps were going around my wrists and ankles. The warm feeling was getting hotter. Hotter. The burning. I tried to pull at the straps but they held me down. I felt a cool hand on my forehead and my mother was sobbing. Mom was upset. I had to get to Mom. I kept jerking but soon my back was on fire. Everything was on fire. I felt like I should be burning, like I imagine a burger being placed on a grill.

I finally screamed. I couldn’t hold it in, any longer. Once I screamed I couldn’t stop. The fire wasn’t going away. Calm down Maddie. You knew this would happen. You were warned countless times over the years. Mom did it so she could stay with me. I could do this. I managed to stop my scream and bit my lip. I could taste blood. Someone put something in my mouth and I bit down on it. I couldn’t stop jerking but I could moan into whatever the hell was in my mouth. I couldn’t think it hurt so bad. I finally got my breathing under control and tried to accept the pain. I thought I could meditate myself through this. I was wrong.

I lost track of time. Time did not exist for me any longer. I thought over my life. Mom said to remember as best I could so I would retain my human memories. She told me when she was turning she thought of every minute she spent with Dad and I, and every minute after he died.

I tried my best to keep my memories of Dad. But I was so young. The only clear memory I had of him when I was human was kissing the computer screen the last time I saw him. I had images and flashed but over the years sadly my memories faded of the hugs. I remembered flashed of him tickling me in bed in the morning. I remembered waking early and crawling in between him and Mom in the mornings. I remembered parts of his funeral but mostly the look on Mom’s face. That hopeless heartbreaking look. A look I never wanted to see on her face again.

I remembered how Peter made her smile when she met him. How I watched them talk while I was getting my hair curled in the San Antonio Mall and seeing her smile. Realizing that I was going to have to accept that the strange pale goofball wasn’t going away and making my mind up that I would find out what he was, no matter what. I remembered the look in his eyes when he protected us from those vampires. When he and Uncle Jasper saved me from that red head. I remembered all the little things he did even though I was a complete bitch at times to him.

The entire time I was remembering I was burning. I was in hell. A part of me would have agreed to death if it meant the pain stopped. But another part of me was stronger than this. I could do this. I had to do this. It was done. Like Mom said, there was no stopping it. I didn’t want to.

Finally the pain began to lessen. Not much but enough that I noticed. I could once again feel the cool hand on my forehead and was able to breathe a little deeper. I was aware enough to feel the cool cloth running up and down my legs and the one on my chest.

My heart was slowing. It felt like I was suffocating. I couldn’t feel it. Only a few beats. I took a deep breath and then, my heart stopped. The pain was gone. It was over. I could feel everything. I tried to sit up, thinking I couldn’t after the pain I had been in. Suddenly I was in a seated position. I felt alive. No pain. Just… I felt strong. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Mom. Peter was right next to her. My God they were beautiful. It was like seeing them for the first time.

BPOV

“Maddie baby? Do you know where you are?”

“Yes.” She answered then her hand flew to her mouth. I remembered the feeling. Hearing my voice for the first time. Her voice still had the same sound but was no distorted by breath or coughing or any number of things that affect our speaking.

“Where are you at Maddie?” I had to be sure.

“The Island.”

“Do you understand what has happened?”

She made a strange face.

“Of course. I’m like you Mom.”

I let out a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. I had been scared that she wouldn’t remember me.

“I’m… my throat is burning. I thought we didn’t get sick? Is something wrong?”

“No baby. That is the thirst. You need to feed. It will get better with time.”

“Okay. Can I… Can I go feed?”

“Yes. Are you okay? How do you feel?”

“I feel amazing.” She smiled. She was still as beautiful as ever. She hadn’t changed much. She hadn’t needed to.

She ran to me and hugged me. Jasper jumped a little and I gave him a dirty look. Damn she was strong.

“Mom, you feel… soft. Human…”

“I know sweetie. We are the same temperature. Our skin if the same strength.”

“Oh my God you can’t believe how much I wanted to hug you like this. Squeeze me Mom. Really squeeze me as hard as you can. Please?”

So I did. For the first time in eleven years I hugged my daughter as tightly as I could. Peter wrapped us up in his arms. Everything was right. I would make sure it stayed this way. Nobody would ever take my family away. Nobody.
