Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Human Strikes Back

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 17:

Jacob POV

This is not working. I figured she would have realized her mistake after she first left. I thought if I didn’t talk to her she would freak out and come running back home. But she didn’t. She stayed in San Diego. When I read her first book I realized she still thought about me. But the werewolf character was her main characters best friend. Why would I never be out of that label. I would have her if not for this stupid imprinting crap. But she didn’t trust me not to imprint.

I thought I was going to go insane with jealousy when I found out she moved with some guy to Texas. Still though I thought it would be a fling and she would come back. Months went by and I realized she wasn’t coming back. Not for me. I still refused to talk to her.

When I heard she was coming back for Christmas I figured if I gave her a cold shoulder she would come running to me begging me to talk to her like she always has done.

But it didn’t happen. I had to hear from my pack members about how happy and beautiful she was. It was beginning to occur to me that getting away from Forks was good for her. I still didn’t like it. I liked it even less when I saw her with him. Cocky arrogant bastard. Walks into a room full of werewolves and acts like he owns it. I can believe Sam let him get away with that. Then he had the gall to stick his tongue out at me. The good news is he will probably get killed with this plan to fight vampires. The bad news is he will take Bells with him. And now they are engaged. Could life get any better?

Edward POV

I can’t believe Bella didn’t come over on Christmas day. I bet He wouldn’t let her. Probably told her that we were too dangerous or something. It didn’t work for me in keeping her away from Jacob and I doubt it would work for him either. She can be stubborn when allowed. Jasper arrived back home and told us of his “plan” for taking on the Volturi. He plans on taking out 1-3 vampires in Bella’s room while Bella is in there and armed. Apparently she will be in one of their robot Halloween costumes that will protect her from any stray blasts. Bella needs to be protected not placed on the front lines of a war she has no business fighting. I caught his comment about my running off to the Volturi from Jasper’s head. I regret that act but it doesn’t change the fact that I would rather be dead than without her. Alice is downstairs trying to block her thoughts from me. Jasper is doing the same. I walked down the stairs and confronted the both. “What is it you are trying to hide from me? He didn’t hurt her did he?”

Jasper sighed and Alice spoke. “Edward, Bella has agreed to marry Jason.”

That certainly changes things. Apparently this isn’t a passing fancy of independence. She actually plans to make a mortal life with this person. I guess a part of me always thought she would come back to me. She now has the next possibly 80 years of happiness in front of her with a man she loves and I have eternity with no one. Part of me wants to fight for her and part of me loves her enough to let her go. I don’t know which part is stronger.

JPOV

“Listen up men a situation has occurred that needs to be addressed quickly and decisively. Last night between midnight and 4 AM a covert attack was launched against my future father in laws residence. I awoke this morning to find the trees in his yard covered in camouflaged toilet paper. A quick search of the area revealed both human and wolf footprints. That’s right. Those idiots have still not figured out how to cover their tracks. Men I have spoken about this with my soon to be wife and father in law and it has been decided that we cannot let this affront go unanswered. It is time to show these puppies who the Alphas are around this area. It is a dangerous mission I plan to undertake. I won’t make any of you follow me. Who is with me?”

Joker spoke up.”Sir I speak for the team when I say we are behind and in front of you sir!”

“Gentleman we will not be using suits. Straight up jungle camo and scent blocker. Remember to stay downwind. We will drive to within a mile and a half of the cliffs and approach the cliffs through the woods. A bonfire is going on there. At this time my fiancée and our little sister is there. No doubt the little puppies are sniffing our baby sister’s butt right now hoping to do their wolfie imprint magic stuff to her. Are we going to allow this to happen?”

“NO SIR!”

“Damn right we aren’t. This is a simple mission. The only escape route is the cliffs. They will get shot or get wet. Aim dead center mass or the back of the heads. Do not hit friendlies. There will be civilian woman there. Okay men, lock and load weapons.

Approaching silently through the woods we got a bead on those punks. Bella and Serenity are keeping them distracted by…. They are dancing with each other. Holy shit are they dancing with each other. Have to let Bella know she cannot make out with Serenity. Normally I encourage her experimentation but not with that girl. She’s like a little sister to me. Judging by the lack of progress our team has made in the last 30 seconds I would say all the guys feel the same. This is so wrong….

Sam POV

This is so awesome. I don’t know what has gotten into Bella the last few years but her and this Marine girl are dancing with each other around the bonfire and honestly it has to be the hottest thing I have seen in forever. When the two showed up I figured she would be pissed about her dad’s house getting papered but she just laughed it off and started drinking beer with the rest of us. Apparently her man and his team were having a team building night consisting of some sort of training. I hope he wasn’t to upset about the note I left him reminding him that we could have been vampires right outside his window. They may be supersoldiers but somebody needed to remind them that they were still humans and only a wolf couldn’t be snuck up on. I reached for another beer when I saw Quil drop his and his head explode in red. Holy crap did somebody shoot him? OWWW! Something just hit my chest. It’s pink. WTH?I look around and see my wolves surrounded by black clad figures peppering them with red, white and blue paintballs. Another pink paintball hit me in the ass. Taha Aki, I thought there were only for of them. Bella and Her friend have pulled paintball guns out of there purse! They are the ones shooting pink paintballs at me.

“SAM ULEY”. I turned around and saw that fucker Connolly walking up to me out of the shadows.

“You have been accused of papering Chief Charlie Swan’s residence along with your pack of oversized puppies. Do you surrender and agree on your word as a spirit warrior that you will clean the mess up?

“And if I don’t?”

Jason smirked. “Then I guess I get out of the way and let Hells Bells over there shoot you in the junk with her next pink paintball.”

Ouch. That does not hold much appeal. I looked over at Emily and the rest of the imprints. The guys were surrounded by Jason’s boys and looked like American flags with the paint messed up.” Emily and the imprints were laughing so hard they had tears rolling out of their eyes. This couldn’t get more embarrassing so I did the only prudent thing a leader in my position could do.

“I surrender you asshole. Come on boys, lets go clean Charlie’s yard.
