Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Spy Games

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 33:

After a night of being restrained which was defintely not in my nature and then meeting an alien but not before being given the opportunity of a lifetime by Sasha that I had to turn down, this was a big fuck you for the rest of my day.

I couldn’t breathe. Some sort of film was wrapping around me and I wanted to scream, then it was over my mouth and I couldn’t scream. I kept my eyes closed so this shit wouldn’t get in them but it felt like I was in a giant vacuum bag and the air was being sucked from my body. This is what she meant by turning me into a vampire? I had to be dead or something?

I mumbled as much as I could and started shaking my head since that was all I could move, before Sasha finally turned from her laptop screen and saw me shaking.

“Fuck Bella! I told you to let me know if you couldn’t breathe!”

Sasha had a blade in her hand, I had no idea where she kept it and a large part of me was still pissed that I chose family over sex, because I would have known.

I opened my mouth and she cut. Just like that I could breathe again. I took huge gulps of air until my breathing settled down.

“Sash, you know I love you right?”

“Of course Bella.”

“Then please don’t hurt me for what I am about to say.”

“I won’t.”

“How the fuck was I supposed to scream if my mouth was covered and I was suffocating?! You ever put that shit on me again… what the fuck was that anyway? My nipples feel sticky and it’s on my hotbox and just eww. What the fuck Sasha?”

“I’m sorry Bella. I was trying to use my laptop to manage the material growth but it got out of hand quickly. This is a sort of polymer, think of it like latex but not as rubbery and almost impossible to feel once it is set right. It will cover your entire body, except of course what you need to breathe and then you will be a vampire or as close to one as I can get you, no heartbeat, different scent. I can’t make you move fast obviously but we will figure something out. Maybe you… I don’t know, I just need you to look and smell like a vampire. It was developed at… the base…”

“Area 51?”

“That could be the base. Anyway some aliens have very good hearing. This is a prototype film, able to muffle heartbeats and other biological sounds. It’s lightweight and should allow your pores to sweat and skin to take in oxygen without it being noticeable or making you feel like you are wrapped in cellophane. The software that controls the sculpting just has a mind of its own at times and can be difficult to handle. I’m going to have to work on it some more but I will have it ready.”

“You expect me to do that again? Why can’t Vinnie do it?” I asked, looking at my body double.

“Hey, I’m marrying a hundred year old pussy for you. I’m not getting on that table. I still need to breathe. At least sometimes.” Vinnie explained while smoking a cigar which is bad whether you are human or alien.

“Whatever. Can you please get this shit off me Sasha?”

“Of course, just lay very still.”

Oh God I think this shit is in the crack of my ass. It feels like, oh no that is just so wrong. How far up did it go? I’m going to have to swallow a carton of ex-lax to get this stuff out of me.

“Okay Bella, you can sit up and go get dressed. I can keep practicing on a mannequin until I have it right. I do apologize, I really thought I had it down.”

“No problem. If you didn’t want me to ever think about having sex with you again Aunt Sasha, you have succeeded. Between Angela last night and your little latex fetish the next person that tries to restrain me is going to be hurt.”

“I really am sorry, Bella.”

She did look sorry. How could I stay mad at her? Of course when she is in her third trimester staying mad at her may become very damn easy.

I left her and the shape shifting freak alone while I took my shower, dressed and got the fuck out of there.

Arriving home, I was greeted by Charlie and Sue.

Naked on the couch.

I turned and left, thanking God that Sue was on top but still traumatized from the event. There are some things no one should ever have to see or hear.

I got into Eleanor then hopped out before I puked on the ground.

“Hey there champ. Getting the stomach flu again?”

“Fuck… you, Connolly.” The taste was so horrible. I hadn’t eaten since yesterday. It was mostly bile.

“Yeah, saw your old man fuckin’ the hot babe’s momma huh? That’s gotta be a bitch.”

“You knew?!”

“Yeah I saw them walk in and Charlie had that smile on his face. Then you arrived ten minutes later and…”

“Why didn’t you warn me?!”

“And miss you puking? I don’t think so.”

This fucking asshole.

“In the back. We are sparring right now.” I needed to kick someone’s ass and he was the poor bastard that drew the short straw.

“You want to spar in that skirt?”

“I’m certainly not going back in there to change! Let’s move.”

An hour later I was on the ground, on my back, feeling like a giant bruise. Compared to Angela last night, Sasha trying to suffocate me and making me feel guilty about my greatest fantasy, seeing Sue ride Dad and Connolly playing me for an hour, I wanted to curl up and sleep for the next three months.

“Hey, you did pretty good today. Got a few shots in. Nice roundhouse, but you really have to become better at changing your style without Sasha coaching you.”

“Go to Hell.”

“One day but not yet. So did you know there is a team meeting at Jack’s tonight?”

“For what? To think of ways we can fuck Bella over with even more. I mean shit Jack; how much do you think I am going to put up with? This is fucking ridiculous!” I asked the voice in my head, knowing he was listening.

“Just be there at 5 if you can still walk, Bella.”

“Stay out of my ear till then. Where is Ang?” I asked the redneck Bruce Lee.

“Inside. I have her field stripping AKs. She needs to concentrate so leave her alone.”

“Where is Ty?”

“Probably fucking that Je… 26 year old woman he met, on some backroad.”

“Good, go somewhere until the meeting away from your house. Angela has more important things to do right now.”

I was pissed and sore and hurt all over. It was time to take out some aggression.

“Why should I… oh, I get it. Yeah, I’ll see you at Jack’s. Probably a good time for a run anyway.”

Connolly took off into the woods, a large part of me hoping he got eaten by a mountain lion and then feeling bad for the mountain lion because the poor thing would have heartburn. Storming into the house, I saw the love of my not very long life.

“Hey, I thought you were at Sasha’s this morning? Was that you I heard sparring with Jason?”

“Get up.” I told her. “Now.”

“Bella?”

“Get the fuck up Angela. You had your fun last night. I’m going to teach you a few new lessons today and have my fun. You are going to learn to fuck.”

“Uh Bella, I think I know how to do that.”

The poor thing just didn’t understand.

“You really don’t. We have made love up to this point. Today, right now, we are going to fuck and I am going to remind you just who the hell I am. I have seen and done things today no one should ever have to see or do. I’m very frustrated, and I need to release some aggression. I can either pound a heavy bag or fuck you. Which one is it going to be?”

“I uh… me?”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

“Then get your clothes off now. I like that outfit and I am two seconds from ripping it off of you and throwing you on the floor. Stay on the couch. The AK can stay too. Gives this a romantic feel.”

“But…”

“Clothes off now! The Phoenix is ready to play.”

Ang was smiling. The poor thing had no idea what she was getting into but she would soon. This wouldn’t be violent but it was time to take some control back over my life. I was tired of being handled by others. She was going to be handled by me.

Four hours and six orgasms, for me at least, later and she knew what fucking was.

“I don’t think I can walk.” she mumbled, probably because her jaw was sore from being held in a vice grip between my legs.

“You don’t need to walk. Take a hot bath, be in my bed naked when I get home. If you are a good girl, I may give you a massage. Right now I have to go to a fuck Bella over meeting.”

“No! I want to come.”

“I thought you just did. Several times from the sound of it.”

She threw a sofa mat at me which I caught easily. Still throws like a tee baller.

One bath and an hour later, we were in Jack’s driveway. Oh good, Charlie was here. I walked in to see the party had apparently started without me. The guys were all drinking beer of course and watching baseball, while laughing at stupid jokes while Sasha stood near the wall, with a disapproving look on her face. Arial was nowhere to be seen, so she was probably in her room getting off to thoughts of Connolly, which made me want to vomit.

“Okay, I’m here. Let’s get this damn meeting started.” I walked up to Ty who was occupying a love seat by himself.

“Do I have to say it?”

“Why do I have to give up my seat?” Owl asked.

“Hey Uncle Jack, do you remember me and Arial’s classmate Jessica?”

“Yeah, what about her?”

“I’m off woman! Chill the fuck out!”

Ty was gone and I sat, ignoring the pain in my body when Angela draped her leg over mine. She wasn’t looking too good herself despite our bath.

“Hey Daddy? Now that I have graduated, we are officially roommates. Roommates lock the door when they are plowing their woman on the couch. We got each other or would you like to walk in on some awkward situations yourself? I’ve been wanting to give the kitchen table a test drive.”

There is that famous Charlie blush.

“I’m sorry,Bells. We were kind of… in the moment?”

“Have your moments in the bedroom please, or leave a sign outside, something! Hell, even Renee left a thong on her door handle.”

“Bella would you relax. We have business to discuss. Where the hell is Arial, Sasha?” Jack asked.

“You tell me. You are the one that keeps her under guard 24/7. The whole vampires are around excuse is over now. Better start thinking of another one. You don’t have much time.”

“What do…”

“Can we get down to business?” I interrupted Jack. “Where is the space monkey anyway?”

“He’s drinking at the local bar.” Sasha informed me. “He isn’t needed for this. Vinnie knows what he is doing.” Sasha explained, still seeming a bit on edge. I wonder if her and Jack had a fight about Arial? Jack’s jaw didn’t look broken.

“Sasha has a soft spot for that fucking blob.” Connolly said, a bit of frustration in his voice.

“And he is coming in handy now, isn’t he?” she asked

Connolly said nothing.

“I asked you a question! Isn’t he helpful right now?!”

“Yes! Alright? You were right and I was wrong. That what you want to hear? I thought when a woman got pregnant, she wasn’t supposed to get her period?”

“I will gut you.” she practically hissed at him.

Yep, Sasha was definitely in a grumpy mood. Sounded like she could use some fucking too.

“Bella, Angela, why don’t you grab some steaks from the kitchen? We are waiting for someone. A friend of Dante’s.” Sasha suggested.

“I’m good…”

“Eat Bella!”

“Yes ma’am.” Damn, Sasha was in full out bitch mode today. She must feel bad about nearly suffocating me.

We all sat in silence while I chewed on dead cow, Angela seemingly afraid to breathe much less eat. There was a lot tension in the air and it radiated from the hot lady leaned against the wall. Where the fuck was Arial?

---

There Arial was. Something told me she wasn’t dressed like that to impress Connolly. She had on a pair of very tight, painted on jeans and a tight red shirt that left little of her breasts to the imagination. She was wearing makeup, more than usual, but not enough to make her look like a washed up stripper. Her hair was straight, waves gone, obviously the recipient of a flat iron. Quite simply, she looked hot and kinda badass.

“Uh, Arial? What are you doing? I mean why are you… that’s a little much for just family and…” Jack started.

“I’m going on a date.”

That brought silence to the room. Even I was speechless.

“What did you say?” Jack finally asked.

“I’m going on a date.”

“With who?”

“She is going on a date with that Embry kid, Jack.” Sasha told him, readying herself for a fight. No wonder she was in a mood. She had been getting in her don’t fuck with me zone.

“A fucking werewolf?! Are you out of your damn mind?” Jack practically screamed.

“She isn’t going anywhere near a fucking wolf. Have you seen that Emily chick’s face? Not gonna happen.” Dan added.

“Both of you shut up! She asked me and I told her yes. She is going on a regular, normal date. He is a nice kid and has no ulterior motives other than he likes her. I’ve read his mind and if I saw anything I didn’t like I would tell her no, but she is a damn high school graduate and can go wherever the hell she wants!”

Wow. This may make up for the shitty day I have had. Jack just stood up. Sasha just stepped forward. Oh, this was going to be epic.

“Dan can go with her. He is her bodyguard.”

“She doesn’t need a bodyguard! What 18 year old girl with her skills needs a bodyguard? She can kill a man with her bare hands! She has been raised by commandos since she was 12! She is going whether you like it or not and you are not going to follow her or I swear to God… you do not want to cross me on this Jack. I have watched you do some fucked up shit for years but she is going to have a life! She is going to college soon and needs to learn how to interact with boys, so she isn’t so desperate when she gets away from you two that she does something impulsive!”

“But… but… no! You are going to college, Arial. Why would you want to get involved with a boy who has to stay on his reservation his whole life?” Jack argued, Hawk nodding his head behind Jack.

“I’m going on a date, not marrying him. We are just going to get something to eat and catch a movie or something. I’ve never really done that and I think it would be nice. Bella, I am not riding in his mother’s car. Can I have the keys, sweetie?”

I tossed Eleanor’s key to her with a smile. Yes, tonight was my night to have her but I really had no plans and this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

“Besides Dad, Sasha said it was unlikely we would start college until the spring semester so it’s not like I’m moving in two months.”

“No, she said Bella was going to have to wait! Not you. You don’t have to be here.”

“Yes, I do!” Arial yelled. Holy shit, now Arial and Jack were in each other’s faces.

“Back off her, Jack! You are not going to act like this with our new baby! She needs to get out and she will get out.” Sasha told him, stepping between the two. “You are just going to have to trust her. I don’t see why this should be a problem since she has never given you a reason not to trust her before!”

“What about that Tristan kid? The tattoos? Her and Bella sneaking out and committing felonies? Fucking LaHote?” Jack argued, seeming to have no sense of how much his strong jaw was in danger of being shattered. I hoped he liked chocolate milk shakes.

“That was your fault! I told you to give her space or she would do something rash. You didn’t listen and blamed it on Bella instead and look where it got you. She is going and you and every other guy in this room are staying right the fuck here where I can see you all or I will hurt each and every one of you. Do we understand each other?!”

“She is so fucking scary it’s not even hot right now.” Angela whispered.

“I know right? This is fucking great.”

“I’m still sore. I’m going to be sore for a few days. All five, Bella? Really?”

“You weren’t complaining at the time.” I reminded her. “Think about that the next time you want to play with paddles.”

“I wasn’t complaining but damn. I feel…”

“Like a freight train just went through your love tunnel?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re lucky I have small hands. Quiet, let’s see how this plays out.”

“You couldn’t have talked to me about this beforehand?” Jack asked Sasha.

“No Jack, I couldn’t, because you just would have pouted and moped and tried to talk her out of it, then sent Dante to threaten the boy.”

“I don’t actually get sent anywhere by Jack.”

“Shut up Dante!”

“Yes ma’am.”

“So instead of talking to me like one parent to another you just made an executive decision for both of us. That’s fucking great.”

“I don’t have to make a decision! She is 18! Of age, not in school, any of this sticking into your thick fucking skull? Pierce has been dead for 6 years and so has… he. No one is going to harm her. Victoria? Fucking ash. The Cullens? Obsessed with Bella. Italians? Also obsessed with Bella. If Hawk should be following anyone 24 hours a day it’s her!”

Whoa, stop pointing at me Sasha. The idea of Hawk 24 hours a day… God, I just shivered.

Whoa, there was a knock at the door. This was really happening.

“Get used to the fact, dear. Our little princess has grown up and is going to date and have relationships and she will have sex when she is ready because she will be safe and know that she can take her time instead of taking advantage of opportunities away from you. I’ve sat back and watched you do this for too long and it stops now. Open that door, say hello and act like a normal person. I will be right here watching!”

“Wow.” Charlie muttered. “Glad I never got remarried.”

“Kinda hard to do when your lady friend was already married, I guess.” I pointed out.

So I was still a little irritated that I walked in on Sue and him. I would never be able to use that couch again. I would have a new one delivered tomorrow.

Jack looked at Arial and Sasha who both had their arms crossed. He finally looked down and sighed.

“Do not lose ground here, Jack.” Hawk warned him.

“Shut up, Dan, or I will rip your balls off.” Sasha warned Hawk.

Jack walked to the door and greeted Embry. Okay, he opened the door and walked back into the living room. Embry walked in and took all of us in. Me, Charlie and Angela were barely keeping smirks off our faces. Sasha was smiling and the rest… if Embry wasn’t a werewolf, he may be pissing his pants right now. Okay, he may anyway. Werewolves do that quite a lot.

“Hi? Hi Mr. Webb, Mrs. Webb.”

“Welcome to our home, Embry.” Sasha greeted him. “It is so good to meet you in a situation that doesn’t involve combat with vampires or your friends being shot. Why don’t you have a seat? Mr. Connolly was just about to get up and put more steaks on the grill or something. The point being Mr. Connolly was just about to get up. Right Mr. Connolly?”

“Yeah, whatever.” Jason hopped up and moped off, probably to grab a gun. Embry sat slowly and looked like he just wanted to turn into a big dog and run.

“So Embry, what do you have planned with my daughter tonight?” Jack asked.

“Oh, you know, just normal… date stuff, I guess? Uh, we are going to Port Angeles…”

“That’s 42 miles away.” Jack has such a sharp mind when it comes to geography.

“Yes sir. It’s the nearest movie theater and there is this nice Italian restaurant and maybe uh…”

“Maybe uh?”

“Maybe we could come back and hang out here? I… we don’t plan to be out late.”

“You remember my friend, Dante?” Jack nodded his head towards Dante’s chair. Sasha raised an eyebrow.

“Yes sir. He leaves greeting cards in the pack’s rooms at night while we are… sleeping. Good to see you again, Mr. Youngblood.”

Dante of course said nothing, just stood there, piercing this kid’s brain with his gorgeous eyes. God, I wish he was a woman. I wonder if Vinnie could do a female version of Dante.

“So you guys will be back when?” Jack asked.

“Whenever the hell we get back.” Arial told him. “Let’s go Embry, we are taking mine and Bella’s car. We should make it to Port Angeles in about fifteen minutes.”

“Now don’t be breaking any speed limits…” Charlie started. Arial turned and looked at him.

“Have fun.” he finished. Arial walked out and Embry turned to check everyone else out.

Dante began pulling a blade from his back before a look from Sasha stopped him cold.

Once Eleanor started up and was gone, all hell broke loose. Jack screamed at Sasha who punched him in the face, Hawk turned on me, saying this was my fault and I’d had just about enough so I sidestepped him, jumped on his back and started punching his ears. His big arms aren’t exactly flexible enough to pull me off, as I figured out last year. I noticed Charlie grabbed Angela, threw her over his shoulder and headed for the kitchen. Ty and Connolly shrugged their shoulders and punched each other, Jack was up trying to talk to Sasha about not hitting now that she was pregnant, because it was bad for the baby and Hawk was crying like a little bitch who was going deaf from my fists pounding his giant head.

God, this was a blast.

“What the fuck is going on in here?!”

We all stopped at the unfamiliar voice. I thought everyone was present and accounted for. Dante was still in his spot on the far side of the room but now was shaking his head in frustration.

I hopped off of Hawk who immediately began rubbing his ears, while Connolly and Ty fist bumped each other, both sporting busted lips, and Sasha and Jack seemed to calm down immediately. Of course, Sasha took control of the situation.

“Hi, sorry we were just having a team meeting. You must be Awinita?”

“Yes, you can call me Nita. You are Sasha? Dante said you were the only one here with a brain.”

“Nita…”

“Shut up, Dante. This is the boys club you spend your time with instead of fighting by my side?”

“When the hell haven’t, I been by your side?”

Wow. Dante wasn’t his cool and collected self. He was getting as agitated as Sasha was earlier.

“How do you and Dante know each other?” I asked, too curious not to. Now that I had taken her in, she was just… fucking gorgeous. She put Leah Clearwater to shame. Slim yet strong, much like me, long brown hair with a somewhat golden hue, and light, very light brown, almost bronze eyes. She was wearing a tight tanned leather sleeveless top and old vintage blue jean, form fitting but not as tight as I wish they were, leading down to the skimpy leather sandals on her cute feet.

“She is my girlfriend.” Dante told us. Where the hell had he been hiding her?

“Ex-girlfriend.” Nita pointed out quickly.

“Whatever.”

“I would be your girlfriend if you could pull yourself away from the boy band you seem to love so much. You made your choice. I have been dating. I don’t want you anymore nor do I need you in my life. I am only here as a favor to your grandfather.”

“Bullshit. Who have you been dating?”

“No one you know.”

“What’s his name?”

“His name is… Rick… no Eric. Yes, Eric. He is so hot. Puts you to shame. He used to be Delta Force.”

“You don’t even know the name of your imaginary boyfriend?”

“Fuck you. I don’t need to tell you his name. I don’t want you confronting him. He might realize I actually spent time with you, not something I want the general public to know.”

“Whatever.” Dante smirked. Okay there was some serious potential for grudge fucking here.

“So let me guess who we have. You in the Astros t shirt. You must be the Texan who thinks he is invincible but winds up getting shot more than anyone else. Connolly, right? Big guy, muscle of the team, probably grunts a lot, must be Hawk. Tall black guy, kept around for comedy relief, you are Ty, and that leaves you, Jack Webb, the one Dante says has common sense on this rag tag band of losers, but you don’t appear so smart considering you just yelled at your wife and she laid you out on the floor. Am I missing anyone?”

“Uh… I’m…” I started.

“Yes, the cocky, brash, impulsive, beautiful lesbian with more balls than brains. Phoenix, right? I’m a big fan.”

I could actually feel my cheeks burning. I didn’t think I could blush anymore but she just brought it out.

“Thanks. I’m becoming a huge fan of yours very quickly.”

“Nita, have you checked out La Push?” Dante asked.

“Of course. You think I came to this rain soaked dump to see you? It’s only been two weeks since you dropped by uninvited, as usual.”

“What do you think?”

“I think you’re a fucking asshole who uses m to get what you want and then leaves as soon as we have to discuss anything real.”

“I love you too. About the magic?”

“Wait, what magic?” I had to deal with magic as well. This assignment was getting out of hand. Aliens, vampires, werewolves and magic? Throw some fucking Leprechauns at us. Buy a Chucky doll. Maybe Freddie Kruger is around?

“The magic of the Quileute’s of course. I am what you would consider a witch. There are not many more powerful than I am in this world.”

“She is the humblest too.” Dante put in, earning him a withering glare from Nita that made me want to crawl up in my own asshole and hide. That reminds me of a few other tricks I need to teach Angela.

“Shut up Dante. I was invited here for my help. No one needs to hear your voice. Anyway I understand from Dante’s grandfather that there is a type of spiritual rape occurring, called imprinting. I checked the land. Their medicine man is old and weak, as is the magic of the tribe. It is focused on changing these boys into wolves and solely concentrated on this, nothing else. Imprinting is a side effect; one I plan to erase tonight. I understand, Bella, that there is a lesbian now imprinted to the alpha of the pack?”

“Yes…”

“I will set her free. I will set all the imprints free. If these fuckers want to date, they can learn to do it in a natural manner.”

Whoa.

“What we need to discuss is the impact this will have on our relationship with the pack. We will still need them as a distraction.” Sasha told her.

“No. This Emily woman is gay and she is under a spell. The spell ends now. The wolves can go to hell. If they don’t like it, I will destroy the magic of the entire tribe.”

“You aren’t powerful enough, Nita.” Dante told her.

“Try me spirit walker.”

Spirit walker? Is that a pet name?

Dante walked up within inches of her. He was a bit taller but she seemed just as tall when her eyes met his.

“Watch yourself, Nita.”

Nita slapped the shit out of him.

“I fucking hate you.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Before I could blink Dante had her pinned against a wall and she was attacking his mouth. He grabbed her ass and her legs wrapped around his waist.

“I love you, you fucking bastard.” she said when they both came up for air.

“I don’t want you.” Dante told her, nibbling on her neck.

“I don’t want you either. Bedroom now!”

Dante walked off; Nita still wrapped around him towards the back. I hoped he took her to Jack’s room.

The door slammed and… wow. So yeah, that just happened.

“Anybody else horny?” I asked the assembled family.

“I didn’t even know Dante had a girlfriend.” Ty said.

Connolly shook his head. “I’m not sure he does.”

A lamp just shattered. Now the damn walls were shaking and she was screaming. I hoped it was her anyway.

“Sounds like they are something. They got the sex thing down anyway.” I observed. Nita just screamed again, more of a moan this time.

We all sat down and tried to eat and ignore the screams coming from somewhere in the back. If it weren’t for the lamp being broken, they could have been in the hallway for all I know.

“So she is a witch huh? Anybody else know this?”

“I didn’t know what she was. I felt sorry for Emily and Dante said he thought a friend of his could help so I went with it.” Sasha admitted. I would imagine someone as grounded in science wouldn’t be a big fan of magic. I knew the werewolf shifting problem had been a problem and it bugged the hell out of her. On the bright side, this little interlude had taken the topic of conversation away from Arial’s dating life.

“So she is going to turn Emily back?” Angela asked. She had been quiet so far, listening to the porno soundtrack in the house like the rest of us. Holy shit the walls just shook a little bit again.

“Uh… so what do you think she meant when she called Dante a spirit walker? Is he like a witch too or what?” I asked, getting Angela off that subject.

“Who knows? Oh yeah, my lovely wife knows but she won’t tell me.” Jack didn’t sound happy about this. He was brave today considering he had already been knocked to the ground once.

“Shut it, Dodo. I keep the secrets of others, you know this.”

‘Now you are calling me Dodo?”

“Stop acting like one and I will stop calling you one. Remember what I told you when we married? Divorce is not an option. Till death do us part is an option.”

Okay then. Maybe these two needed counseling.

“Sorry baby. I’m just having a hard time and you kind of sprung this on me.”

Sasha’s face softened and bit. She always was a wuss when he sounded contrite. It was total bullshit but a good tactic on his part.

“I probably should have given you a little more heads up but you have to trust me okay?”

“I know.”

“I love you Jack. Did I break your jaw?”

“Nah, I think I’m good. You want to head to our bedroom and…”

The walls just shook again. Sounded like thunder.

“We should probably give them alone time.” Sasha wisely suggested. I considered getting out of the house before this witch blew the place up with her orgasms.

“So she can really free Emily from the imprint?” Ang asked.

“Yeah, Bella was tryin to help her out but it was just too strong.”

I hate Ty so, so much.

“Girl you got nothin to worry about. That Uley guy turned into a wolf in front of her and slashed up her face. She looks like a wreck now. At least part of her does. The other half of her face is pretty hot and she does have a killer body.”

“I can heal her face. Because it was a wound caused by magic, even though the claws were physical, I can heal them. I’ve done it often enough for Dante. She will be fine.” Nita said, walking in with sex hair. Dante walked behind her and placed an arm around her waist until she turned and slapped him. He didn’t flinch.

“Don’t touch me, asshole.”

“Love you too, Nita. So next weekend?”

“Yep. You ready to head to La Push? I can get this taken care of and we could check out First Beach? Make a fire, commune with our spirits?”

“Yeah, we better go. Can you come Bella? It would be better if someone talked to her before we did this.”

“Of course.”

“Uh Bella, I don’t think…” Angela started.

“Okay, that’s it. Come with me.”

I grabbed her hand and pulled her to Arial’s room. Closing the door, I pushed her against the wall.

“Listen to me right now. I get that you are new to this and I am new to being in a serious monogamous relationship myself. It hasn’t been easy for us to get to this point but we have. I thought this jealous, possessive crap was cute when it began but it is getting old now. Vey fucking old. Every time you act threatened because of another woman is an insult to me. You are basically saying Bella I don’t trust you, unless I am with you at all times. I don’t appreciate it. I haven’t done anything to deserve it and it stops now. We understand each other?”

“But… you had sex with her after knowing her for five minutes. Maybe she… I don’t know.”

“You are right, I did. That’s who I was. I saw something I wanted and took it. I didn’t do that with you because I love you. I sat back and gave you time and let you go when you wanted and took you back when you were ready. We got each other and that is all that matters. But you need to figure out very quickly whether you trust me or not. Because I am helping her. If it was you or me for some reason, I would want help. I am not helping her because I want her or because I want another option. I am doing it because it is the right thing to do. If you want to come, be my guest, but that would just show me that you do not trust me. How can you say you love me if you don’t trust me? I trust you because I love you.”

“I know. I’m sorry, this is just… I am afraid of losing you. Without you…”

“You are you. You need to be strong. Do not define yourself by me. I don’t want a pet, Angela. I love the strong woman who told her Dad to go fuck himself and the caring woman who loved me even when it wasn’t easy. I don’t need some clinger who is scared of losing me the second another woman looks at me. If you think I will betray you then you don’t really love me. Now do you love me?”

“God yes.”

“Is this going to be a problem?”

“No. No it won’t be. I trust you and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. I just see all these women who want you and…”

“And not a damn one of them is as beautiful as you are and I don’t feel anything for them. Now I have work to do. Go to my house and hang until I get back please. I want to make love to my Angel tonight. I’ll see you in a few hours, okay?”

“Yeah, okay. I’ll get your Dad to give me a ride.”

“Thank you. The jealousy stops now. I’m yours and I don’t cheat. That’s not who I am, not anymore, not since I met you. Cut it out. I’m not mad but if it happens again you are going to see me angry and hurt. Those are two things I don’t like to be.”

“I know. I love you. I trust you. I’m going to get better on this whole jealousy thing, I promise.”

“I know you will. Be waiting in my bed naked when I get home. I won’t be in the mood to wait for you to undress. I have a few more things you are going to learn tonight. Oh and don’t sit on the couch. No matter what you do, stay off that couch.”

Twenty minutes later we pulled up to the La Push Diner, the site of my first encounter with Emily. I was in the back of Nita’s rusted 1974 Firebird that still had a bitching engine. On the way here, I listened to the two of them complain about each other the entire drive, apologize, bitch some more. No wonder they have epic hate sex.

Once we parked, they kissed each other and exited the vehicle, leaving me staring at them in a daze, hoping to God I never have a relationship like that and kind of hoping I did at the same time.

Yeah, I have issues.

“Bella, talk to this woman and let her know what is going on and what is about to happen. It won’t hurt her but she may suddenly feel very sick and distressed about what has been going on. Dante, find the old medicine man and keep him occupied. Put him to sleep, take him to another plane, I really don’t give a damn. If he tries to interfere, he could hurt himself and unlike you, I don’t believe killing is the answer to everything.”

“You didn’t complain when I killed…”

“Dante? Do as you are told.”

“Fuck you, Nita.”

I thought of suggesting to Dante that maybe if he were nicer to Nita, they wouldn’t fight so much but he was gone before I could get out of the damn car.

“How does he do that?”

“Complicated.”

“So what is up with you two? I mean are you like together or hate each other or fuck buddies?”

“I’ll love him always. I just can’t stand him sometimes. He has an obligation to our tribe and he feels it’s better to fight someone else’s wars when we have our own. He helps at times when I ask but I shouldn’t have to ask. He should always be with me! I feel like I have to share him with those idiots. I lost six years while he was in the military and then he comes back and is off running with those idiots again and… look that’s not what is important right now. Go find this Emily woman. I need to get to the center of this reservation.”

“How do you know where the center is?”

“The land will tell me. Go.”

The land will tell me. What the fuck ever. Spooky witch shit. I suppose I should say hi and explain to Emily that she is about to get her life back. I sort of remembered the way to the house then realized I took a left when I should have taken a right. Wait… was it a left I took?

“Hey Jack?”

“This is Sasha, Bella. Jack is currently on house arrest in the living room. What’s wrong?”

“Could you tell me where I am and how to get to Uley’s house? I’m supposed to give Emily a warning and it’s been a while and I don’t know how long this voodoo shit is going to take.”

“Turn around and take the next left, then the first right. Third house on the left.”

“Thanks.” I took off at a jog, really wanting to warn Emily before it was too late.

“Your other left, Bella.”

“Thanks Sasha.” I really need to get better at directions.

I found it! Judging by the chair that just flew out the window I would say Nita has done her work. Running as fast as I could, I pulled my gun and kicked the door in, hoping Sam was attacking Emily again so I could kill him. Sasha could totally not hold that against me.

Instead Sam was running and Emily was throwing everything she could find at him. Ouch!

Yeah that clothes iron just cut his forehead pretty badly. That’s going to stain the carpet.

“Stop Em! Please stop! Why are you so angry?”

“Angry? You imprinted on me, made my best friend hate me and then had sex with me! All because of your fucking wolf bullshit! My eyes are open now Sam. I always knew I didn’t want you but I couldn’t stop myself! Guess what? It’s not there anymore! I’m fucking free! Stay the fuck away from me before I cut your damn dick off and we see how long it takes to grow a new one! Considering you weren’t much in that department before, I’m guessing not long!”

“Emily?” I yelled, seeming to bring them both out of their homicidal tendencies. Great, now Sam looked like he wanted to kill me. What the fuck did I do? Its not like I just kicked their door in holding a gun while they were arguing. Oh, wait, I did. That was not a nice look Uley was sending my way.

“Sasha, we are going to need a cleanup crew here because I am about to blow Uley’s head off.”

“You! Swan! You did this. I know you had… how did you do it? Everything has been hell since you came into our lives! You are a damn demon! I love her. It wasn’t just an imprint for me. What have you done? Why would you do this?!”

“She didn’t love you, you fucking prick. What about what she wanted?” I asked instead of grabbing Emily and running because I can be stupid like that.

“She wanted me! She wants me!”

“After what you did to my face?” Emily fairly asked. “Are you out of your mind? I didn’t want you. I’m gay! At least I was until I made the colossal mistake of looking at you! Guess what? It’s gone. I don’t give a damn what she did to make it happen, I’m just glad she did it!”

“What the hell do you mean you are gay? Swan, talk you into that as well?”

“No, I fucked her before I ever met you!”

Oh shit.

Yeah, Sam really looked murderous now. Couldn’t have kept that to yourself, maybe told him over an email. I am in close quarters here with a giant wolf, trying to keep my face intact and yours not completely ruined Em.

“You did not have sex with my Emily.”

He took a few more steps towards me. I seriously needed to deescalate this situation. I had to calm him down long enough to get outside and fight him in the open. I got this. What would Sasha do? I can calm him.

So of course…

“She has the cutest little heart shaped birthmark on the inside of her left thigh. It’s a good starting point for my tongue on the way to her pussy. Of course since you never ate her out you wouldn’t know that, would you, Dog? She tastes like the sweetest honey you could ever imagine!”

“Way to calm things down, Bella. I would say our relationship with the wolf pack is at an end. Blow his head off and come home.” Sasha told me.

Sam started to phase. No way my face gets fucked up.

I fired into his gut blowing him back and keeping Emily behind me. He was burning but his dog fangs were showing. I fired again when he jumped towards me. Emily screamed and all I saw was a black fur coat falling over me while I fell back on my ass, firing. This was going to hurt.

I peeked my eyes open and saw him hovering in the air. Sam, human, not Sam, bad doggy.

“That’s not very nice, shifter.” Nita told him, her eyes glowing like a sexy nightlight. You are supposed to protect humans, not harm them. That temper of yours Sam Uley has already cost one woman and now you want to take it out on another? It’s time you learned who your alpha is.”

She waved her hand slightly and Sam flew back into the wall.

Holy shit Dante just appeared out of nowhere. He was over Uley with a knife to the back of his very human skull.

“Stop!”

We all looked at Emily who was the apparent savior of Sam Uley.

“Don’t kill him. He’s an idiot with a temper problem but if you knew his dad… just don’t. I just want to go. I want to get away from him. Can you please take me somewhere, Bella?”

“Fine.” Nita walked over to Sam and looked him over.

“He has three rounds in his stomach but I suppose this ammo has an electrical impulse for lighting up vampires?” Nita asked Dante who nodded.

“Looks like the burning has stopped most of the bleeding and he is going to heal. Are you sure Emily? We can kill him right now. No fuss, no muss.” Nita suggested.

“Nita, I thought you were giving Dante shit about killing not solving everything?” I reminded her. I can’t believe I shot that fucker three times and he was still alive. I should have gone for the head.

“Killing doesn’t solve everything but it will certainly solve this.”

She knows how to make a point.

“Leave him.”

“Emily, please don’t leave me.” Sam whispered.

“You never had a right to me to begin with Sam. This imprint is over. You are free and I am free. You ever try to come for me again it won’t be Bella you have to worry about. I’m going to go pack my clothes, can you help me Bella?”

“Of course.” I walked around the blood puddle to help until Nita stopped us.

“Wait. Come here.”

Emily walked over to her and Nita’s hands caressed Em’s scars and…

Wow. Emily gasped, so I guess she felt it immediately.

Nita nearly passed out but Dante caught her and gathered her in his arms. It was so fucking sweet.

“This happens sometimes. I’m going to take her to the car and then I will be right back. Don’t get up Uley.”

“What did you do?” he asked from the floor, clutching his stomach.

“My woman righted a wrong. Imprinting is dead.”

“but Tah…”

“Yeah, she just kicked that bastard’s ass. Keep pushing and she can take away your ability to shift. We might help the Cullens build a new mansion in La Push if that happens. Hurry Bella, I need to get Nita sugar water.”

We made it home without further incident. Dante drove while I held Em in the back seat, cradling her while she cried. I knew this would be a bit much for her and if I wasn’t so damn bad with directions I would have been there sooner. She calmed down the closer we got to Jack and Sasha’s. I suppose Nita woke up because her head moved to Dante’s shoulder. It was so sweet, at least it would have been if I didn’t have Emily crying her eyes out on me. She also kept rubbing her face. I could imagine. The idea that she could have been scarred not only emotionally like she was, but physically. I just wanted to get home to Angela and crawl under the covers. This day has sucked from beginning to end. Okay, the grudge fucking with Angela this afternoon was awesome and seeing my little sis off on her first date while Sasha whipped Jack’s ass and I pounded Dan’s head was a blast. Still, this had been an emotional day.

I stayed with Em while Sasha made her drink tea and then whiskey, then tea and whiskey together. Eventually she fell asleep and Jack carried her to a back bedroom. Arial arrived back and invited Embry into the hot tub, but a look at Hawk convinced Embry this probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Hawk had been visibly shaking since I had been back and I had a feeling it wasn’t because he was cold. Dude has serious panic attacks when Arial is out of his sight.

Then Arial kissed Embry right as Jack walked in, and Embry took off before Jack could pull his gun, which was saying something. Jack tried to track him outside until Sasha pulled Jack inside by his ear.

What a fucking day. Even Eleanor could not get me home quick enough.

Dad and Angela were kicked back in the living room watching TV, Angela using the love seat and wisely avoiding the couch. She wasn’t naked in bed like I had ordered but it didn’t matter. She took one look at me and knew. I was exhausted. I didn’t even want sex tonight. I just wanted sleep and a lot of it. Tomorrow I would deal with Emily and figure out what she wanted to do. I doubt Uley would keep her sexuality a secret and her family are not open minded from what I remembered her telling me. I also wondered if we would be at war with the wolfpack as well as the Volturi. Maybe I would get Dante to make them see reason. Or at least kill those who wouldn’t. How the hell did he disappear and reappear so quickly? It was like he wasn’t there and then had a huge knife pressed against Uley’s skull. I wish he could teach me how to do that.

Dad just patted me on the shoulder and I pulled Ang up and led her upstairs. Before I reached the door to my room, of course something else had to happen.

“Bella don’t move. Ty is picking up movement in your room.”

“Window open?” I whispered as quietly as I could, holding Ang back with a hand and motioning for her to go downstairs. She didn’t know sign language like Arial did yet but she knew what shotgun meant. I was sick of vampires and werewolves sneaking into my room and I planned to announce my presence with authority.

She quietly walked back upstairs and handed me the shotgun. Charlie was sneaking up but I stopped him with a hand. The ammo in this shotgun was not the vamp burning rounds because the incendiary devices wouldn’t fit into the pellets but it would blow the vamp out my fucking window and Ty could handle it.

Angela pulled her dog whistle out but I shook my head. I didn’t want the fucker rolling around in an enclosed space. Even in pain a vampire or wolf could hurt Angela easily.

I stepped back and pumped the shotgun. The door gave easily to my kick and I stepped into the doorway and fired. I pumped and fired again. My window was destroyed but I saw a body fly out.

“What the hell was that?”

Oh fuck a female was behind me. I turned but it was too late. She was on me…

Until she hit the ground screaming. Angela had her whistle in one hand and a 9 mm in the other pressed against a blonde haired female vampire. I heard another shot outside. Ty.

“Stop please! Fuck turn that thing off!”

Great, now Jasper Whitlock wants to come help, after everything has been settled.

“Bella stop! They are my friends!”

“Stand down.” I ordered. “Ty, is the one outside still alive, or still moving anyway?”

“Yeah, Phoenix. He is trying to put his leg out but I can end him now. I got a bead on his forehead. Connolly is on the ground behind him. What do you have?”

“Under control up here. Angela back up and let off, keep your gun raised and fire if you see a streak coming towards you. Dad, you got his?”

“All over it. Looks like I get to arrest some vampires for breaking and entering.”

“We are on our way, Bella.” Jack told me. I didn’t even argue this time.

“What the fuck is going on Jasper? You have vampires waiting for me in my home? Are you out of your mind?”

“I didn’t know! I told him not to come see you without me! Damn it, Charlotte!”

“You know when he gets an idea in his head… is he dead? How the fuck did you do that? Jasper, you told us about those dog whistles but you said ear plugs would work!”

“Oh did he. I told you we kicked up the frequency Jasper. Why are you giving away our secrets? Are you a double agent? Maybe we should execute your ass now.”

“Hey, am I gonna kill this sparkly fuck or what?” Ty asked. “Jack, Sasha? Anybody want to give me a kill order? Hell I’ll even take one from Hawk at this point.”

“Stand down but stay locked Ty.” I told him. My room, I call the fucking shots.

“I was going to bring them over to meet you in the morning but Peter can be a bit impulsive. Can he come up and apologize? Please? Don’t kill him for being an idiot. It wouldn’t be right for you to kill him and let Edward live.”

Jasper does know how to make an argument.

“Call him up. Ty keep a lock on him. Is his leg still on fire?”

“Nah, but he is looking pretty damn scared right now. Connolly and I got him in a little crossfire.”

“Get up here, Petey.” I knew he would hear me. He didn’t move. “Get up here before I blow blondies head off. At this point either blondie would be acceptable.”

There he was.

“Evening ma’am. Name’s Peter, that’s my wife Charlotte. We just wanted to stop in and say hi.”

“Something wrong with the front door, Pete?”

“Uh… no, I just wanted to…”

“Catch me off guard? Make me nervous? Catch me at a disadvantage so you can have some edge in our first encounter?” I guessed.

“Yeah, maybe something like that.”

“Nobody gets an edge on me, bitch. You might want to find the rest of the sparkly shards of your gut then you can come back in the morning to say hello. Until then get your fucking ass out of my room.”

The vampire smiled.

“You’re right Major. I do like her.”

“Yeah Major, you aren’t going anywhere.” I told Jasper. “Use that vampire speed of yours to find some wood and board up my fucking window.”

“Sorry Bella.”

“Fuck sorry, I’m going to kill him.” Jack said, walking in, gun out front and not looking happy at all.

“I’ve had enough of your damn games, Whitlock. I’m sick of your family and I’m sick of the wolves and I am close to blowing my wife’s plan apart, killing you all and raining hell down on that fucking castle in Italy. She has a plan to keep all or most of you bastards alive. I want to drop a sonic bomb on that damn place and go in, execution style. I have had enough of my girls being around monsters and your buddy and his woman think it’s okay to surprise her? Hey dumbass I’m talking to you!”

“Who me?” the Pete guy asked.

“What other dumbass is there?” his apparent wife answered.

“I just wanted to say hello.”

I was winding down but apparently Jack had more aggression than I thought bubbling to the surface. Sasha tried to place a hand on his shoulder but he walked forward and pressed the barrel of his gun to Pete’s head.

“My niece has been bitten, beaten, tortured and hunted by fucking vampires. You ever, ever try shit like this you are burning right next to Edward Cullen and your buddy Jasper. We got each other?”

“Yeah, man. My bad.”

“Whitlock, fix this fucking window. Charlie go next door. Bella, you and Angela are coming to our house and nobody is leaving until I have a little meeting with all concerned parties tomorrow. We are all going to sit down, vampires, werewolves, and us, and come to an agreement. Then I am going to kill every single motherfucker that doesn’t agree with the agreement. Any questions?”

“No Jack. Where do you want to meet tomorrow?” Jasper asked, sensing my Uncle Dodo had maybe finally reached his breaking point. Who knew all it would take is Arial going on a date?

“I’ll let you know. Let’s move out people, before I start killing just for the hell of it. Fucking undead pieces of shit. You have no idea who you are fucking with but you are about to find out.”

Yeah, Uncle Dodo was pissed off. Should be an interesting meeting.

Wonder who is going to make it out alive?
