Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Human Strikes Back

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 31:

Jasper POV

The family has been living in Alaska, again, for the past 6 months. It was decided to come here because of the upheaval in the vampire world. As I and Carlisle thought the ramifications of the Volturi’s death were widespread. A greater number of serial killer cases were making the paper. One report of a man sparkling in the sun made the front page of the Miami newspaper. I was amazed at how many people passed it off as a publicity stunt and really good body glitter. People won’t accept what is right in front of them. Of course in human’s defense they have been given legends of mythical vampires who turn into bats and only come out at night.

As soon as the reports of serial killing become a trend the killings mysteriously end. It appears our friends Jason and Bella and the rest of the team are holding up their end of the battle. Talking to Peter who visits them quite often, Bella is now a full-fledged member of the team and they have been more active than ever, flying out at least twice a month to locations around the nation.

Bella’s third book came out. It is selling very well. I like the ending. The heroine walks away from the vampire and werewolf. Appropriate. We have not spoken too much to Bella and Jason. We do know that they were attacked by two werewolves after they returned home. As far as Peter could tell nothing else had happened but he was keeping an eye out.

I hate to think it but I believe Edward has joined the Romanians. He disappeared after the failed attack on Jason at his home and has not been seen since. Alice can’t even see him. Esme is devastated as it looks like he may have had something to do with the attack on Jason.

Talk of the Romanians setting up a vampire government with themselves at the head continues. Rumor has it they are planning an eradication of any vampires not swearing fealty to them. I don’t know what Carlisle is planning on doing. We have spoken of different options. I believe he is thinking of approaching Jason and suggesting the family align themselves with the U.S. One thing is certain. Between Jason and Bella’s team exterminating vampires and the Romanians running roughshod over Europe a war was coming. A war between humans and vampires. That kind of conflict could not be kept in the dark for long.

BPOV

The past year has been amazing. I finished my third book. I got my suit. I became a full-fledged member of the team and I had 6 vampire kills. Married life was great. Not really much different than when I and Jason lived together except we were together all the time now on missions or training. We had been busier than ever. With the destruction of the Volturi, vampires were becoming more brazen. They no longer tried to hide the kills. While this increased their activity, it also made it easier for us to find them. Between Serenity’s whatever the hell it is powers and Satellites, tracking was easy. Shooting the fast moving fuckers was a little trickier. Especially in a populated area. I had learned from Rosalie that after the failed attempt on Jason’s life, Edward had disappeared. It was feared he had fled to Siberia to join the Romanians.

We were not blind to what was going on in Europe. We knew the Romanians were building a vampire army to rule the world of vampires. Peter’s sources kept us in the know. We kept Peter and Char off the list. Plus they went after scum and nobody really wanted it to stop. The President’s theory was that as long as what happened didn’t affect the U.S. he really didn’t care about the vampire problem in Europe. Unlike the Volturi, no American citizens that he knew of had been killed by the Romanians. Jason had the feeling that a war was coming. He had discussed this with Peter who talked to Jasper and Carlisle about it.

We arrived home from a successful mission in which we killed a mated couple who had been feeding from children. Not cool. That will move you to the top of the list quick.

We were called into the debriefing room. The Boss told us two items of news that shocked the hell out of us. The first was that Satellites had picked up Romanians carving out what looked to be a base of operations on the Olympic Peninsula. They had already killed three hikers. American citizens. That put them in our crosshairs. The President gave the go ahead to take the war to the Romanians. The Cullens have contacted the President and they along with Peter and Charlotte Whitlock have sworn allegiance to the United States and will provide whatever assistance we need and be under orders of this Team. Apparently the Cullens felt they would have to choose a side and I’m glad they chose ours. Not that I was scared of them but I didn’t want to hurt them. It appeared we would be going head to head against my ex-boyfriend already. Peter and Charlotte would have to agree to give up drinking from humans. Even drinking from criminals would be considered paid vigilantism by the US government and that could not be condoned.

It was believed the location of the Olympic Peninsula was chosen due to its location to whatever killed the Volturi. Rumors ran rampant from the Cullens to shape shifters to an army of alien soldiers. I had to guess that if Edward was with the Romanians they knew about our team. They also knew about the wolf pack.

We would no doubt be facing werewolves again soon. It was determined that the best way to kill them really was silver bullets to or near the head or heart. Their blood had a violent reaction to silver. Lasers could kill them as well. The silver allowed regular soldiers and Marines to become involved in the battle and have a fighting chance. According to the Boss we would be heading up to the woods between La Push and Forks to set up headquarters. Looks like we could say bye to Galveston for a while.

The second bit of news took us all by surprise as well.

“Bella you are hereby relegated to support status only. You will be monitoring satellite feeds from a control station and giving real time updates to the team members.”

“Why, what did I do wrong?”

“You did nothing wrong Bella. But the results of last week’s physical came back. The armor is designed to expand and shrink with your body but it is not designed to stretch as much as you will be doing in the coming months.”

“What the hell…”

Then it hit me. I looked at Jason who had eyes the size of saucers.

Jason cleared his throat and said “Sir are you saying Bella is…”

“Pregnant, yes that’s right. Congratulations you two. God help the kid.”

Neither of us had planned this but I was ecstatic. Jason’s eyes were misty. He looked at me and asked “are you okay with this? Are you happy?”

“Yes I’m more happy than you can imagine. I know we weren’t planning it and this isn’t a great time with the Romanians but I think…”

He kissed me long and hard while the others let out wolf howls. I couldn’t believe it. We were going to have a baby. Suddenly the idea of going to war with vampires didn’t appeal to me so much any longer. But I knew this had to be done. If the Romanians were here it was for a reason and that reason would probably involve the destruction of those I hold dear.

JPOV

Holy shit I’m gonna be a daddy. We certainly weren’t trying but I guess when you have sex as much as we do not many birth control pills are going to have the stamina to keep up with it.

I am gonna miss hunting with Bells. But I am relieved I will still be able to hear her voice and know that our baby is safe. Damn Im gonna need an SUV. No way am I getting a minivan.

Crap, we have to go to Forks! Time to get the rain coats out. I didn’t know how long we would be there this time. I knew Bella had been missing her home. It was a good time to go now with the news of the pregnancy. I’m not sure Charlie will be excited about the Romanians showing up in his backyard and neither will Sam but it is what it is. Neither have to be involved in this fight. I was hoping they would keep their sparkling asses in Siberia but no they had to go put their big boy pants on and come mess with me and mine.

Sam POV

Something wasn’t right. We had been picking up strange scents all over the place. Some vampire, some smelled animal like but unlike any animal we had ever come across. We were finding wolf tracks all around. Not near as large as we were but larger than a normal wolf. We also found bare human footprints running around the forest. The prints smelled like animals. I was just about to pick up the cell and ring Jason when speak of the devil and the devil shall find you.

“Whats up Cowboy? You taking good care of my little pack member down there?”

“Yes I am Sam. Found out today she and I are gonna be parents.”

“Congratulations!”

“And we want you and Emily to be Godparents.”

Holy shit.

“I think I can speak for Emily when I say it would be an honor Jason.”

“Great but don’t ask Emily yet. Bella wants to ask her herself. Something about being face to face and all that female crap. You know how it is.”

“So does that mean you are coming up for a visit? I’m glad cause I have some things I need to tell you about that are going on up here.”

“Sam we are comin for longer than a visit. I have some things to tell you too. The Romanians are setting up in the Olympic Peninsula. They have werewolves with them. We think Edward Cullen may have joined them and therefore they know about all of us. We are coming up to assess the situation and staying until the situation is neutralized.”

“You know you can count on us Jason.”

“I know brother. I will see you in 12 hours and we can go over what we know. The Cullens minus Edward and Peter and Charlotte are also coming. They have made agreements with the U.S. government to ally themselves with humans. The war is coming Sam and this one won’t be over in three minutes I’m afraid.”

“I will assemble the pack. See you in 12 hours, my house.”

“See you then.”
