Spy Games

Chapter 31:

This was so boring. I mean it. Why the fuck do I have to camp out again? The battle is tomorrow. Couldn’t a helicopter just have dropped me off? I’m becoming concerned about what sort of resources Jack’s little organization has. Rappelling down into the kill zone would be so cool.

Instead I am spending the damn night in a tent while Lassie and Tinkerbelle hang around outside. Still not sure why Jake is here. Seth is coming at sun up so Jake can get his ass kicked by really strong newborn fairies. I swear I get that they are strong but getting worked up for a battle with newborns is hard to do. It is hard enough to remember to take vampires seriously since they sparkle but they call the most vicious, blood thirsty kind of vampire a newborn. Seriously. It’s like Karma fucking with me. I never wanted kids and now I have vampires in diapers coming at me, probably needing their diapers changed because they are full of sparkly shit.

I also underestimated how fucking cold it was going to be. I mean I had my gear but it wasn’t helping much. Nike winter gear was not prepared for this shit and neither was I.

“Jack, I’m cold. Can I go home?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t want your scent all over the place.”

“What about a helicopter?” He had to have one of those right?

“Don’t have one.”

“You are a secret government organization. How the hell do you not have a helicopter?”

“I don’t carry them around.”

“Bring me a coat. Also an electric blanket. Sasha too. She can keep me warm.”

“I can’t have my scent down there. Dante, Connolly and I need to stay hidden. Hawk, Arial, Ty and Sasha are already set up around the clearing and they aren’t bitching about being cold.”

“Probably because they have big coats and electric blankets. So you really knocked Sasha up huh?”

“Yep.”

“You are such an asshole. I never want kids but I would totally impregnate her if I could. Of course after she delivers, she may have a different view of having sex with women.”

“Stay away from my wife. Besides you said what you had on was enough.”

“Because it is fucking summer time. Who the hell has a blizzard in May? That makes no sense!”

“Just chill out.”

“Chill… oh that’s fucking funny, asshole.”

Great.

Edward just popped his head in.

“Bella, are you alright?”

“I’m freezing asshole. Does it look like I am alright?”

“What can I do to help?”

“Burn yourself so I can warm up by the fire.”

It would help on so many levels.

“I can see you are upset. Perhaps you would like to talk?”

“Nope.”

The fucker came in.

“Did you not hear me with your supernatural hearing? I don’t want to talk. Stay outside.”

He sat down. Unbelievable.

“Bella, I have a problem.”

“You have several. I have my own problems and you are at the top of that list. Specifically hoping Victoria kills you before I kill her.”

“You really think you and your other humans have a chance at killing Victoria?”

“I have two of the best snipers in the world and Jack surrounding me. Yeah, I think we can handle it. You are a distraction. That’s it. Bait for the trap.”

“I don’t mind. I would do anything to keep you safe.”

“Kill yourself?”

“Why would I do that?”

“Because you are obsessed with me and want to turn me into some blood drinking fairy who can’t sleep, eat or get a tan. What is the deal, Eddie? Why can you not understand you don’t have a chance?”

“I love you.”

“You don’t even know me Ed! You have no idea who I am. Not the real me. Why are you so fucking stupid? Why?”

“I know Jasper told you about what happens when vampires love Bella. Vampires never fall out of love. I can’t stay away from you. Despite your behavior I know a part of you loves me too.”

“I really, really don’t. I don’t even like you a little bit. I despise you. Even if I was straight, has it occurred to you that you are an obsessive stalker?”

“Stalker’s are obsessive. No need to add that.” Jack informed me. “By the way I’m one of the best snipers in the world too.”

“You are Sasha’s sex doll. Be happy with that. God knows I would be. Now hush, me and Eddie are having a conversation that needs to end.”

“Your uncle is listening?” Eddie asked.

“Someone is always listening.” I reminded him; in case he got any ideas… like bringing an electronic keyboard in here.

“What is with the teeth chattering? It’s impossible to get any sleep with all this noise.”

Fabulous, Jake is here. Make yourself at home.

“What are you doing here? I thought you didn’t like to be shot?” I reminded him.

“How many times have you shot the dog, Bella?” Edward asked, with way too much humor.

“Both of you get out.”

“No.” they both said in unison.

“I can warm you up, Bella. You know I am much hotter than Edward.” Jake offered.

“Jake, Eddie, why do you keep bothering me? Why can’t you both get it through your head that I don’t love you or even like you and you are both assholes for bothering me?”

“Bothering you? You are the one who played me!” Jake fairly pointed out.

“I was doing a job. It’s not my fault you were too stupid to see that. The same goes for you Ed. You got played by someone smarter than you. I have a girlfriend I love. You won’t stop loving me Ed? Get ready for a long existence of jacking off because you and I are not happening. Jake, no offense, but if I was straight I’m 18 and would be considered a sex offender if we fucked. You both need to get the hell out of my tent now.”

“Fine Bella, but you need to be warmed up before you lose some toes. You could use some body heat. Let me lay by you, it will make it better.” Jake offered. I clutched my knife, wondering how much blood a severed dick would spurt.

“Get the hell out of her tent.”

I jumped and felt better that Eddie and Jake did too. How the fuck does he do that? Dante is sitting next to me. I never saw him come in but there he is, real, sitting next to me with a Colt .45 aimed at my two stalkers.

Both moved slowly out, staring at Dante’s gun, probably trying to figure out like I was, how the hell he got in here.

Once they were gone, I turned to the man I most wished was a woman in all the world.

“How did you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Get in here? You snuck past a vampire and werewolf and they didn’t see you, hear you, smell you. How the hell do you do that?”

“I was here the entire time.”

“No you weren’t. I would have seen you. You are literally sitting right next to me.”

“People sometimes see only what they want to see. There are more…”

“Here he goes again.” Jack whispered.

“Shut up Jack.” Dante said, sounding slightly annoyed.

“You heard him?”

“I don’t have to. I know him, better than himself. I can see into his soul and he is a good man. You are lucky to have him.”

“Yeah he’s pretty cool I guess.” He really was. As much shit as I gave him, I loved my Uncle Jack. Except for moments when he insinuates that I am a whore. Not feeling the love then.

“Bella, tonight is an important night for you.”

“Cause I’m going to get attacked by a red headed vampire whore in the morning?”

“No, we got that. I’m talking about something else. You and Arial will no doubt be a part of our family, our team, more than you already are. We will share adventures and harrowing battles, see the unexplainable and destroy threats to the human race. You are a part of this. You have shed blood for our cause, been brave in the face of certain death and conducted yourself in a manner that honors your ancestors… for the most part.”

Yeah, that party sex on the front lawn a couple nights ago wasn’t my best moment. The sex in the Diner bathroom with a stranger wasn’t probably the best idea. Seducing Angela?

Totally worth it.

“So what are you talking about then?”

What the fuck?

“Dante?”

“He’s gone Bella. He does that shit all the time. You get used to it.” Jack informed me.

“Is he a fucking ghost or what?”

“Beats me. He can drink like a champ and I’m not sure a ghost can drink. Like I said, you get used to it. If you want a guy to get in somewhere nobody else can, he’s your man. Sasha is your woman. He can also track like nobody I have ever met. Forget about him. Get some sleep.”

“I can’t sleep. It’s too damn cold.”

“Try. We will keep Eddie and Jake outside.”

“Fine.”

Dante couldn’t have brought me a better blanket?

I closed my eyes and tried my best to curl into myself and stop shaking. I guess it worked because eventually I must have fallen asleep. I know this because I was woken up.

By Rosalie.

“Hello Bella.”

“Hi Rose. How’s it going?”

Damn it was still cold. My nipples were like pebbles. Cute light brown pebbles. They looked so good pressed and against Angela’s… what the fuck is Rose wearing? She was barely dressed.

“I’m doing fine. How are you? You look cold.”

“Yeah, pretty cold for us humans. Uh, are Jake and Edward still outside?”

“No, Jake went to run somewhere. I imagine he is peeing on a tree or something. I sent Edward away.”

“I see. That’s a nice outfit you are wearing.”

A blue tank top and very short black skirt.

“You like it? I really like that Lycra on you.”

“Oh thanks. Yeah it was supposed to be winter gear but… not working out so well.”

“I could help warm you up.” she offered. Oh hell. She was getting closer.

“Where is Emmett?” I asked

“I left him at home. I wanted to spend some alone time with you. We haven’t really had any since you stopped coming over.”

“Oh yeah. I uh…” her hand just landed on my thigh.

“I appreciate you wanting to spend time with me but get your hand off me. Not exactly warm and kind of out of bounds for you.”

“You think so?”

“Yep, pretty sure.”

“That’s too bad. I was thinking my cool tongue might make you hot where it counts. I bet I could warm you up quickly. I know you like blondes.”

“Uh… I have a girlfriend. Yes, I do. She is a brunette. Strictly the two of us. I love her. She has a heartbeat. Getting this?”

“Hey Jack, what are you up to?” I tried, hoping he would step in at any moment.

“Oh don’t worry about them. Your friends needed rest so Jasper helped. They will wake up refreshed in plenty of time for the battle.”

“I see. That is kind of rude. They won’t be happy about that.”

“Sorry. You poor thing, you are so cold. Your nipples are so hard.”

“Rose I’m not sure what is going on but you probably shouldn’t be staring at my tits. I’m sure… okay Emmett wouldn’t care, but Angela would defintely not like you staring at my tits.”

“I didn’t realize you were married to her.”

“I’m not, but just I can’t, okay? I mean if we weren’t together and I was a vampire, I would totally do you but you aren’t and I’m not so, yeah, this isn’t going to happen.”

This is a dream. This isn’t real. I am in some sort of hypothermia induced coma because my asshole uncle wouldn’t bring me a blanket. That’s what this is.

“Go ahead. Touch, feel do whatever you want. You have to be curious. I won’t mind. Just a little fun. I’m married so you know I won’t get attached. It will piss Edward off so much. Think of the look on his face when he smells our scents all over each other.”

“That would be pretty funny.” I admitted. “But still not happening.”

Holy shit. Another person just walked in.

“Leah?”

“Hey Swan.”

Wow. She looked amazing. She just had her standard cut offs and tank but it worked for her. She doesn’t even bother with a bra. Why would she?

“What are you doing here, dog? I don’t remember inviting you to the party.” Rose hissed. Great, I was about to be the meat in a werewolf vampire sandwich. This isn’t even the first time. What has my life come to?

“Since me and my little brother are the only wolves she hasn’t shot or threatened to shoot I was volunteered to keep her company. Of course her friends are passed out. Not a good look for super soldiers. Be a shame if they lost their dog whistles.”

“Yeah, it would.” I admitted. “But I they are light sleepers.”

“What’s wrong, Swan? Cold?” Leah asked.

“It is below zero out there. What the fuck do you think?”

“Don’t even think about it dog.” Rose told her.

“You want her to lose toes?” Leah asked.

“I don’t want to lose toes.” That would really suck. My toes are cute. Maybe Leah could go dog and put her tail over my feet or something. Oh shit, Leah just laid down behind me.

“Body heat. It will warm her up quicker. Hey Swan, did you know that most of the guys in the pack want to fuck you?”

“Most? I figure they all did.” They did. Except Paul. His balls were still stamped property of Arial until she decided to give them back.

“Yeah, all of them want to fuck you. Except Paul. He is focused on your blonde friend but has fantasies about having a threesome with the two of you pretty often. You two aren’t dating right? You and the blonde?” Leah asked.

“No, but surprisingly we get that question a lot. I don’t see it.”

“Please, you two are all up in each other. You change in front of each other, don’t you? I bet you could tell me where every freckle on her body is.” Leah commented. “Angela must hate that.”

“Yeah, I can, but not because we are fucking. We swim naked quite a bit. I mean we don’t plan it but it happens. Parties and hot tubs and you get the idea. She’s my sister so can we please change the subject because eww.”

“Then let me get to the point. I’m not really gay but I hate every one of those guys, except Seth of course. I was thinking that maybe you could show me the ropes? Strictly one time meaningless sex, maybe twice if you are as good as you say you are.”

“Why would I do that?”

“Because, I love the idea of scenting you first. Don’t you love that idea?”

“Bella please ask the dog to leave. We have business to take care of and I don’t want you smelling completely like wet dog.” Rose moved closer.

“We could all have fun.” Leah offered.

Necrophilia and Zoophilia mixed together in a fucking blizzard.

“No, we can’t.” I told them both. They really needed to get the fuck out of my tent. I would almost welcome Eddie and Jake back. Okay, I wouldn’t but this was uncomfortable as hell.

“Sure, why not? Here you are and here we are, night before the big battle, all keyed up. I can try not to breathe if the leech can.”

“No.”

“No? Are you seriously telling me I would be willing to share you with a dog and you won’t agree?” Rose asked.

A year ago and I would have been in the batter’s box taking a swing at this. Shit changes.

“I have a girlfriend who I love. You two need to leave.”

“But Bella you are so cold. You don’t want me on top of you?” Leah whispered in my ear.

“No! Both of you out! I’ll freeze alone happily! Out now! I’m not fucking around. Don’t make me use my dog whistle!”

“You have no idea what you are missing Bella.” Rose told me.

“Maybe, but I know what I have and its more than enough. Leah, get your fucking awesome tits out of here. Rose, get out.”

“Fine Bella. I was just trying to help.” Leah told me. “I was looking forward to pissing off the pack and having a new experience. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. Have fun freezing.”

“I will. Rose you need to leave too.”

“You don’t mean that Bella. Look at me.”

“Leave!” I screamed. “And tell Jasper to stop fucking with my family!”

Like that they were gone almost as if they were never there.

What the fuck? Was I dreaming? Could I be that cold in a dream? Did I really get propositioned by a vampire and a werewolf who were female?

“Congratulations Bella. You have passed the test.” Dante told me, popping up by my side.

“How the hell do you keep doing that?!”

Dante laughed. I suppose that was my answer.

“You have proven something to yourself. You are no longer the brave but immature girl you were when you arrived. Your journey of two years has changed who you are. You are more than loyal now. You are faithful and you know you can be.”

“That? That was a dream? Some kind of test?”

“Not necessarily. Did it feel real?”

“Yes, very, very real.” And cold, and awkward and so creepy.

“Then it was. Dreams are products of our minds. If you had not changed you would have acted as you would have in the past. For passing the test, I have a reward for you.”

“An electric blanket?”

“Better. A fur blanket and someone to share it with who has been missing you.”

The tent unzipped and there was my fur blanket. Angela had it in her arms. I turned to Dante to hug him and of course he was gone.

“I heard you were cold. It’s 1 AM. Jack said I could stay till 5. I know you need to sleep but…”

“Get under the blanket with me. We are going to wrap ourselves in that dead bear and hold each other. If we freeze to death we are going out together.”

She smiled and hurried over, covering us both.

A couple minutes later and I wasn’t cold at all. Fingers have a way of working their way innocently under pants. I had never had an orgasm with my clothes on. It was a unique experience.

I had fallen asleep at some point and only woke when she kissed me goodbye.

I hoped I saw her again.

No, that was a negative thought. No negative thoughts in battle.

I slept a couple more hours but of course Jack had me up at 7. Walking out I was glad to see the fucking snow storm had stopped.

I was not happy to see Eddie there. He apparently has no idea how fucked he is today. He was sparkle bait and didn’t seem to mind. I hope he didn’t expect to actually fight and kill Victoria. She was way beyond him.

“Morning Eddie. Have a nice night? Have you been standing there listening to my girlfriend and I all night?”

“It was hard to miss. Doesn’t it bother you to do that, knowing someone is listening to you?”

‘Not really. I just pretend it’s Sasha. Besides they were watching last night. They never listen to that. Unlike you. Doesn’t it bother you listening to the object of your undying affection having orgasms?”

“No. I have talked with Carlisle and he seems to think this is might be a phase. Besides it isn’t actually sex. No male reproductive organs are involved.”

“The doctor told you this huh. Eddie, if I wanted a dick, I would just buy one. The latex ones come with a lot less drama and absolutely no disgusting sperm. I promise you if this is a phase it’s going to last until I die.”

“I see.”

“Ahh c’mon Eddie, was it that bad listening to me and my Angel getting after it?”

“I’ve had better nights.”

“You’ve had good nights? How? You are like the most depressed person I have ever met.”

“All of my good nights involve you Bella.”

“Wow… that sucks for you. Hell just for shits and giggles tell me your best Bella moment. Not the top five but the best one. I may use it the next time I have to play some idiot vampire.”

“That’s easy. The best moment I have had was when you agreed to marry me.”

I’m going to kill Sasha. After I have my way with her.

“I didn’t…”

“You are marrying him!” Jake shouted.

Fuck my life.

I slowly turned and saw Jake doing his best to look angry and jealous but instead just pouting. It was kinda tragic for a big tough werewolf.

“Jake I…”

“No, I have had it! I don’t know what kind of game you are playing Bella but I am sick of it! Leech lover, cock tease, lesbian and now back to leech lover! I give up. You win okay? I’m leaving. I don’t give a damn if I live or die, but I am going to fight!”

Great. I can’t have this. No… he was way too emotional.

“Jake wait!”

I ran after him and found him standing on the edge of a cliff. For someone who was so mad he definitely stopped running when I told him to.

“What do you want Bella?”

“You can’t go like this. Listen to me!”

“What? What can you say to make it better?”

“Nothing. But I know you are suicidal right now and you need to focus. If you are going to go out in a blaze of glory you owe it to your family, your pack, your tribe, uh…” what the fuck would Dante say? “and your ancestor people who died before you, to take out as many of those sparkling fucks as possible. I’m thinking you can at least get three. At least I bet Arial that you would. She said one before you got every bone in your body crushed. I hate to lose bets Jake and she will be watching. So do your best before you get taken out by a baby vampire. I’ve got money riding on you Jake. Don’t let me down.”

There. That’s it. The best I got for a motivational speech.

“We really need to work on your motivational speaking Bella.”

“Shut up Jack.”

Jake was speechless by my pep talk. It wasn’t We Are Sparta! but I think it was pretty good. I would think him killing three leeches before dying is more confidence than anyone else had in him.

He finally tuned into a big dog and took off.

Walking back over the hill I saw Seth was here in doggy form. He was so cute. If I had a puppy, he would defintely look like Seth. I’d put a purple collar on him. Thanks to Charlie, the color was really starting to grow on me.

Of course I would have him neutered. Oh yeah, focus. I had a problem to deal with.

Edward fucking Cullen.

“You knew he was listening?”

“He deserved to know.”

“I’m not marrying you, you fucking asshole! It is just a lie to tell the Italian bastards to buy us time. No wedding Edward. By the way if your little jibe at him causes him to die early you owe me a hundred bucks. I hate losing bets, Edward. Just remember Arial bet me fifty you would make it out of this alive and I disagreed. Jakes bet has higher stakes but I would rather win the one about you dying. Now get your fucking head in the game, bait boy.”

I stomped my ice encrusted boots to the tent and geared up. Two .45s with live vamp rounds, two dog whistles, one attached to a chain around my necklace and one in my hand with a button that could hold down indefinitely, freeing my hands and snipers all around.

“Let’s do this shit.”

“Hell yeah we are Phoenix. Time to get our kill on.” Ty whispered. Glad to know my guys were all business.

“Is Angela clear of the area?”

“She is with your Dad, Bella.” Connolly confirmed.

“Sasha, Arial and Ty are safely hidden.”

“God couldn’t see them if he looked hard.” Jack assured me.

“I’m good to, Swan.”

“Quiet Hawk. We have leeches to kill.”

Seth just whined.

“The battle is starting.” Edward whispered, apparently seeing what is going on through Seth’s doggy mind meld.

“How are we doing?”

“Good. Jake just arrived. He is doing well.”

“Has he killed one yet?”

“No, not yet. Emmett and Paul just…”

“Fuck Emmett and Paul! I need Jake’s kill numbers. I went out on a limb with three and I gave Arial the plus one. Pay attention to what matters!”

“Jake just killed one Bella, but he needs two more.” Arial reminded me.

“The kid has it in him. I have faith.” that he can take out three before every bone in his body was crushed.

“The Embry kid is doing pretty well.” Arial whispered.

“Shut it down Arial.” Jack said quickly. I guess no more wolf loving for Arial.

“Damn it, Jake just killed another one but Jasper helped. That only counts as a half.” Arial told me.

“Bullshit!”

“An assisted sack only counts for a half in football, Swan.”

“This isn’t football, Dan. Tell Jasper to stay away from Jake. He has to do this on his own.”

“Bella, get your mind right. We got company.” Jack told me.

“Victoria.” Edward whispered.

“Who the fuck were you expecting?” God, he is an idiot.

“She isn’t alone.”

Okay, we planned for this possibility.

“Seth go.” I ordered. Seth took off because he is well trained and a good boy. Yes, he is. Who’s a good boy? Seth is my good boy. Yeah, I totally got him doggy treats for the victory party. Angela may want a puppy one day so I probably need to practice talking to them.

“Okay, let’s see who is here to play ball. Maybe she brought another pony tail.”

Nope.

Just a regular dude that looks like he smells an open sewer line.

“Riley. Listen to me Riley, she is using you.” Edward said.

What the fuck?

“What are you doing?” I asked him.

“She doesn’t love you, Riley. She loved a vampire named James. I killed him. She wants Bella because she wants revenge.”

“You didn’t kill him.” I reminded Eddie. That was all Whitlock with an assist from the kidnapper and the hulk wannabee.

“”He is lying, Riley. Do not listen to him. I told you about his gifts. He is trying to sway you from my side.”

“Fuck this.” We came here to fight, not persuade. “Edward, the boy is obviously pussy whipped. Hey Vicky, James told me before he died that you had a vagina he could park a semi-trailer in. Is that true, Riley? Are you big enough to satisfy her?” I hit the button on my sonic weapon.

Eddie hit the ground.

Vicky and this Riley kid didn’t.

Vicky pointed to her ears.

“Ear plugs.” she said with a wicked grin that I would have found sexy in any other situation. “Something told me I might need them. I have seen you from afar Bella. You seem to have a gift of making vampires fall to the ground. My gift is survival. Did you really think I wouldn’t plan for everything?”

I let off the button so Eddie could be a vampire shield and pulled my weapon. I fired.

She looked at the hole in her belly.

It was smoking.

“Did you plan for that, whore?”

Vicky hit the ground and started pushing snow into the entrance wound. God, even now, this weather was trying to kill me.

“Riley, kill her!”

Riley moved and before I could open fire my puppy jumped from behind a snow bank and hit him.

“Didn’t plan for that either, did you bitch?”

I moved to fire again but Ed attacked her instead. He’s brave when his opponent is injured, I guess.

“Take out her ear plugs!” I ordered.

He didn’t listen. Of course.

“Damn it if you won’t take out her ear plugs then at least get the hell out of my way so I can shoot!”

I’m giving him five seconds to get out of the way, before I just start firing. If he dies, he dies. I hope he dies.

“Arial, how many has Jake killed?”

“Two and a half.”

“I only gave you a point over 1. I win bitch! I’m going to let Eddie get killed too.”

“No, you aren’t Bella. As soon as he is free, I am taking her out.” Jack told me, ruining my good mood.

Oh shit. I just heard a yelp. A doggie yelp.

Yep, there was Riley. Hope Seth is still alive. A pet who is already housetrained may be a great gift for Ang’s birthday.

Riley looked at me, my raised gun and then attacked Edward.

Holy shit, Ed was like the chick in the middle of a 50 man gangbang. Getting dicked around all over the place. I wouldn’t be surprised if Vicky pulled out a strap on and fucked him.

Great, now Riley was holding him down and she was twisting his head off.

“I’m locked on and taking the shot.” Dante whispered.

“I got lock from behind.” Jack confirmed.

“No! Let her kill him first! Please!” I begged.

“I agree with Phoenix, Jack. Let’s take this bitch and her boytoy out after they rip Eddie’s head off. Seth isn’t going to say anything.” Connolly said, making the best point I have heard ever. I thought Sasha was smart but Jason Connolly is a damn genius.

“I still need that fucker, Jack. Save his ass.” Sasha ordered.

Oh shit, Seth just jumped onto the Riley kid. Good to see he was alive. Damn, Seth had sparkle’s leg and was dragging him back. I saw a pit bull do that to a very big turkey leg once. That fucker was scary.

Eddie took advantage and twisted away. Victoria looked at Riley who was begging her to help him.

Of course she let him go.

“She’s leaving.” Connolly said through the com. “I have the shot but if she gets to full speed we are fucked.”

No, this shit had to end. I needed her dead and the Italian fucks dead and then Florida is mine. I have worked for two years for the sunshine state and I will be there.

“Hey Vicky, where are you going?” I screamed. She turned and looked at me with a fuck you bitch look.

“You are running from a wolf and this guy? Come on Vicky when are you going to have a better chance to kill me? Don’t you want revenge? For your precious Jimmy? Want me to tell you how he cried at the end right before I ended him? Right before I turned him to ash. To nothing? Come on bitch, me and you, right now.”

Vicky turned and snarled. Edward was still rolling around on the ground but looked panicked now. I suppose he thought I was in danger.

“Bella, do you trust me?” Jack asked.

“With my life.” I told him without a doubt. We may argue and call each other names and have the occasionally fist fight but I trusted Jack with my life.

“Cut your hand and then stand perfectly still.”

I dropped my guns, grabbed my blade and sliced my forearm. My hands were for other things and could not be injured.

Yeah, she smelt that.

“Stay back Edward!” I told him unnecessarily. It didn’t look like he was going to be a problem. His neck was really fucked up.

Oh fuck here she comes. Stay perfectly still, Bella, don’t move.

Oh fuck.

I saw a flash of red, closed my eyes and felt it.

“What the fuck is on my face?” I asked, not wanting to open my eyes. Now I felt like the girl in a 50 man gangbang.

“Victoria’s head. Nice shot, Jack.” Connolly said.

“Thanks. Bella you got a little vampire venom in your hair and some sparkly chunks of skull but you should be good. Brush off your hair onto her head and light her fucking body up.”

“Bella, are you okay?” Ed asked, finally picking his ass up off the ground.

“Am I okay? You’re the one who just got your ass kicked.”

“Why have you cut yourself? That was so reckless.”

“I cut myself so my uncle could get an angle on this fast moving bitch and blow her fucking head off. That’s the way combat works. Way to lay on the ground. Very manly. You are fucking pathetic. Is there one vampire in the world whose ass you can kick? Seriously name just one! Anybody?”

“I was… I mean…”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

Seth was back dragging pieces of Riley’s body with him. He dropped them on top of Victoria’s body. I grabbed Riley’s arm.

“Seth, you want to play catch?”

Seth nodded his head. He is such a good boy. I tossed the arm high and watched him jump. He has serious hops. Once the arm was dropped back at my feet, I tossed the arm long, making sure my puppy didn’t fall off the cliff but still giving him a challenge. I dropped the arm back onto the pile and Eddie dropped a lighter. I ruffled the fur on Seth’s head and he stuck his tongue at me and crossed his eyes. Why couldn’t all the wolf pack be like him? He was freaking adorable and as far as I could tell the only wolf to ever take a vampire out one on one.

“Bella.” Arial called.

“How many kills did Jake get, Arial?”

“The kid offed 4 and a half. He did… oh, wait. Wow. Yeah, that has to hurt.”

“What happened?”

“Leah tried to kill a vampire that was hiding and she almost got crushed.”

“God no! Are her tits okay?” Not that I wanted them but I appreciated works of art and hated to see them destroyed.

“Yeah, Jake jumped in front of her and got took, girl. We could hear the bones breaking and we are like 100 yards away.”

“Wow. Well, he did a good job before he died. Let’s face it, none of us expected him to make it out of this alive. I guess my motivational speech worked.”

“He isn’t dead Bella. Just very, very injured.” Sasha informed me.

“Did you guys have to fire? Surely there were some friendly fire casualties, right?”

“Didn’t have to. The wolves and vampires did well. Better than I expected. I have options now for the Italian mission.” Sasha and her damn plans and pawns.

“Oh, so they all lived huh. Not one of them has possible fatal injuries besides Jake?” I would take that but I hoped Paul would get wiped out and Sam so Emily could be free.

“Bella, we need to go. The pack is carrying Jake away and must hide. The Volturi are coming.”

I swear Sasha is a genius even if she does let Ed live quite a bit.

“Stay where you are gentleman. We have this,” Sasha ordered the guys with me.

“I got the big one. Sasha you want the tweener with the bad hair or Wednesday Adams, the blonde version? Arial lock onto one of them. Hawk you got a bead on the big one’s boyfriend?” Ty asked.

“Got him.”

Oh God, Hawk was shooting? From 100 yards? Talk about a safe place for a target to be.

“We need to go. Now.” Ed whispered.

“Fine.” Fuck it, just accept it Bella. I jumped onto his back and grabbed his hair with both hands trying to use the handfuls like reins.

“All aboard the Sparkly Express! Let’s move Horsey!”

Edward did indeed move and once again the trees were a blur and I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t puke.

When we arrived in the clearing, I realized I only had a dog whistle around my neck and one handgun around my back. I wouldn’t have time to pull it if they attacked. I needed to get my dog whistle from my neck to my hand.

No, don’t give anything away. It was fine. Sasha and Arial had me.

“Hello Cullens. It seems we missed the party. It is not often we are rendered unneeded.” Janet… Jane said in greeting.

“Perhaps if you had come sooner you could have fulfilled your purpose.” Ed told her, sounding a bit pissed off. I guess he forgot what she did to him last time. Or maybe his ego was hurt because he got his ass kicked on the mountain while a 14 year old wolf took out one vampire himself.

“Edward, I am sure if the Volturi had prior information about the newborn army, they would have arrived sooner.” Carlisle tried. That guy was way to smooth. I so didn’t trust him.

“Yes, of course.” Jane replied. ‘I am impressed. I have never seen a coven survive an attack of this magnitude without losses. How did you do it?”

“We had prior warning and planned accordingly. They were strong but unskilled.” Jasper told her, finally making his presence known.

“And where is the maker of this army who has caused so much trouble?”

Edward pointed to my campsite.

“She is burning over there. I killed her.”

“You fucking what? Please… she had…”

“Bella!”

Fine Jack.

“Yeah, I mean Edward totally killed her. Saved me. I almost passed out from the danger. Very tense. I had faith in him the entire time.”

I can’t believe he didn’t die. At least I made money today off of Jake. Thank God he decided to get crunched after he killed the required number of vampires. I am going to spend that money on alcohol and get toasted tonight with my gang. My human gang.

“What is this?” Jamie… Jane asked. I didn’t know what the fuck Jane was talking about until I turned around and saw her. Some young vampire girl with red eyes.

“What the hell is this? We don’t take prisoners. What are you going to do? Put her in vampire prison?” I asked the Cullens. What is wrong with these stupid fucking bastards?

“She didn’t know what she was doing! We will take responsibility for her.” Esme practically cried.

Jane walked up to the little killer on the ground.

“What is your name?”

“Bree.”

“Who is your maker?”

Before Bree could answer she was screaming.

“She will answer your questions! You don’t have to do that!” Esme yelled, her mommy fetish overcoming her fear of this little Jane bitch.

“I know.” Jane told her with an evil little smile. I swear give her a few years to grow and I would have been totally into her if she had been human. Okay, not really. She would still look like a little serial killer.

“Felix, Demetri, take care of this.”

Jane stepped back while Felix and Demetri walked by me. Felix winked at me and I winked back. He did nearly kill Eddie. You gotta appreciate a guy like that. I think he was surprised by my reaction judging by his face.

Wow, they tore that little bitch apart quick. Impressive.

“We would have taken responsibility for her.” Carlisle said. If it meant that much to you then why didn’t any of you ever try to stop it? I would have tried if I gave a shit. My God, if I had my gun in easy access right now, I could take out the heavy hitters here and now.

“The Volturi do not offer second chances. Something to remember Bella. Caius will be interested to know you are still human.” Jane said.

“Which one was Caius? The bored one or the blonde pretty boy?” It was hard to keep them straight. I really have to get a better memory for names and faces before I go on my next assignment.

“The date is set. Bella and Edward are to be married. She will be changed after the wedding.” Alice informed the group, making my stomach roll.

“You are seriously going to marry him?” Felix asked for the first time.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“He has great hair and he does what he is told. I have low standards.”

Felix wasn’t buying it but let it go.

“So you guys are like the heavy hitters of the Italian guys, right?”

“Excuse me?” Jane turned and looked at me as if I had insulted her. I thought it was a compliment.

“I’m just saying, here you guys are. I saw you in the throne room. You got the whole pain thing going on and your brother here can do…”

Oh fuck, Bella.

“I’m sorry what do you do again?” I forgot what Allen could do. Did I ever see it? I think Ed mentioned it once… no Jasper told Jack who told me. Something about smoke bombs.

“Do you have a point?” Jane asked.

Yes, I do but it isn’t for you girl. Where you at love bird?

“No Bella. I know what you are thinking but we have to take them out all at once. Trust me okay? Dealing with them four or five at a time is time consuming and dangerous. If you want to go to college in the fall, we are going to have to do this all at once. We are not shooting them now.”

Fine Sasha. Glad to know who calls the shots around here. Usually, I was good with it but not today. Today I wanted Connolly, Ty, even Hawk in charge.

“Nope, no point.”

“Then we will be leaving. I am ready to be home.”

“Hey Jane, don’t you wanna do your little power thing on me again? See if it works any better this time around? C’mon kid, give your best shot. I’m game if you are.”

If she attacked me Sasha would have to kill her. She has to attack me now, right? I just called her out in front of her fellow gangsters. No way she lets that go.

“Stop baiting her, Bella.”

Damn it, Sasha.

Jane stared for a few seconds and then in a blur, all four were gone. I would have gone with the slow motion glide.

“I need to check on Jake. I told Sam I would help him.” Carlisle blurted out to my great surprise. “Bella, would you like to come? I know you are friends.”

“I shot him in both feet last week. I guess I will send some flowers since he won me money. I’m going to chill in the hot tub with my crew. Later Cullens. Congrats on all living. Yay team.”

I started walking towards the trees my snipers were perched in. Past the purple bonfire, reminding me I really need to get this vampire venom out of my hair or whatever this shit is.

Then Sasha was going to give me some answers. I want to know what this Italian Job is and how fucked up my part in it would be.

I had a feeling it would be very fucked up. The tech she needed developed, this friend she is looking for. Yeah, it was going to suck.
