The Human Strikes Back

Chapter 13:
JPOV
The atmosphere at the Uley house was somewhat tense. The boys I met the other night at the bonfire were there as was the hot Native chick. Guess she went furry sometimes too. Also in attendance were what I assumed to be the Elders. Sue was here. I gave her a little wave and a smile. Charlie was here. Not sure why. A guy in a wheelchair was here who I have been introduced as Billy Black, chief of the tribe. Also present and currently scowling in my direction was the famous Jacob Ephraim Black. He grunted a hello to Bella when he walked in and went to the other side of the room and had a seat.
I am beginning to think he and GQ are not going to be my friends.
“Thank you for coming everybody” I heard Bella say. ” Jason wanted to talk to you all about what he really does for a living and what he knows about you. He also wants to allay any fears you have about your secret getting out. Only a handful of people, including the 5 on Jason’s team, his boss and possibly the President know about you. And it will stay that way.”
“What do we have to do to deserve this level of silence?” Sam asked suspiciously.
“Absolutely nothing. If you would like to help sometimes we would certainly take you up on it though. “
“We aren’t in the business of killing terrorists.” The one named Paul growled.
“Neither am I. Not anymore.”
“I plan on inviting about 20 vampires to Forks in the next couple months” I told them, waiting for the reaction.
The reaction was everything I hoped it would be. Four of them shot up out of their seats and began screaming. Or is it growling? Either way it was kind of funny. The big guy Sam finally got them controlled and sat them down.
Sam sat back down and looked me in the eye. “Jason why are you going to be inviting vampires to Forks?”
“”To kill them of course.” That was met with silence. Shut them puppies up.
“Let me start at the beginning. “I lead a small team of 5 operatives plus myself. 3 years ago satellite imagery caught a ranger unit being slaughtered in Bosnia by a single entity. We sent in a team to investigate and they too were slaughtered. We began using satellites to track this entity. We noticed that it traveled with no specific destination. Basically just went around killing anything it could get its hands on. From the second teams battle footage we learned that conventional weapons did not work. My team of Seals went in. we had it next to a steep embankment and had the high and low ground. We didn’t bother with regular weapons because we knew bullets had no effect on them. We used grenade launchers. After 6 grenades we finally cracked the damn thing enough that it started to catch on fire. When it did, one of my guys went in with a flame thrower and roasted the fucker. I lost 7 guys out of 11. The remaining guys came with me to form the new team. Along with one female who is the most deadly girl I have ever met we make up the present team. After 6 months we were given new equipment and armor and given the task of killing vampires. It became obvious if there is one there is more. We moved our base of operations to Houston, Texas where we occasionally train. About once a month when it is noticed that there is a pattern of bodies showing up in NCIC that have been burned and or sucked dry of blood we take off to investigate. If we can find the vamp we ambush it and cut it down. We have new rifles that fire a laser beam at the vamp effectively breaking it up from the inside and lighting it on fire. A torso or head shot usually does it. If we hit one of the appendages it doesn’t work as well.
“Anyway we began using infrared satellites to track cold signatures that are moving at high rates of speed around the world. We noticed that the cold spots that arrived in this area were chased by hot spots and then turned into hot spots themselves. My team mostly doesn’t have any close family so when my holiday trip with Bella came up they decided to tag along and investigate the area. They have been looking all over your reservation for the past week.”
“That’s impossible. We would have seen or heard or smelt them. “Jacob speaks!
“Jacob right?” he nodded. “Nobody hears smells or sees us unless we want them too.”
“Back to the story. We weren’t sure exactly what we were dealing with when we found the giant wolf tracks until we saw a set of human footprints disappear a few feet from where the wolf tracks began. “
“Now as to why I am inviting a bunch of blood suckers to this area I will let my lovely Bella take over.”
I sat back and stared Jakey back down. Kid was acting like a little bitch who didn’t get the toy he wanted for Christmas. I couldn’t help myself. I stuck my tongue out at him. Juvenile? Damn right. Funny? The guy named Quil seemed to think so. I noticed he was holding in a smirk.
I listened to Bella take over.

“I want you to know that I never knew Jason did this for a living. I would have dated him anyway but it was not my intention to get involved with a vampire hunting government operative. I really thought he was just a normal government operative.”
Paul looked me in the eyes with a grin,”Swan don’t even sweat it. At least this guy is human. The odds of you winding up with a normal guy were zero. We have ruined you for all normal guys.”
“Thanks for the vote of confidence Paul”. I noticed Jacob was staring at Jason. Jason was staring back. Ahh crap, Jason just stuck his tongue out at Jacob. Jacob is turning red.
“Anyway you all know about me and you know the Italian vampires want me changed. You know this is not going to happen. I have been living my life in fear that they were going to check on me. I decided that I would not ask anybody to help and just die. Jason has told me this is not my choice any longer and it is now a government operation. The Volturi has been on the team’s target list for a while but for obvious reasons they can’t just drop some bombs onto the castle and wipe them out. We have to get the Volturi on our turf. So I have been given the choice by my boyfriend to help or get the hell out of the way. I plan to fight. I am not asking any of you to fight, Jason seems pretty confident that he and his team along with me in a snipers perch can take care of the problem. He doesn’t think the whole guard will come. Only a few that can be picked off easily. The Cullens are going to call Italy and tell the vamps that I have decided not to turn and need some encouragement. The reason we are here is we will not initiate this plan without your okay. Jason wants you all to be a second line if any vamps happen to get by. “
I watched their faces look between me and Jason with something between shock and respect. My dad was looking at me and Jason and smiling. I think Jason has gone up tenfold in his book since he found out that he kills vamps for a living. Plus the two hit it off over cars and guns before that bit of information even came out.
Sam spoke.” Bella I will agree to allow this plan to go through but there are two conditions.”
“And what would those be Sam?”
“One is that our secret is kept and no government scientists try to come out here to study us.”
“Already done, what else you got?” Jason said.
“We are the Protectors of La Push. We were made to kill vampires. There is no way in hell you are sidelining us for this battle. We want to be involved.”
I saw Jason smile. This was exactly what he wanted but he wanted them to make the decision for themselves. Jason reached his hand out to Sam.
“Mr. Uley it will be an honor to kill vampires with you and your pack.” And with a handshake it was done.
