Chapter 12:

BPOV

“Damn it Jake! What the fuck?”

6 fucking AM. I want to spend a little time with my man before we hit the road for Seattle. A little alone time. He came over with my bike to pick me up. Wanted to get me to La Push. Couldn’t do this at my house. Now I was naked on my back and I couldn’t open my eyes.

“I’m sorry. I… I…”

“I mean seriously?”

“You told me to pull out and…”

“Tits Jake! Tits! Breasts! These things?” I cupped my breasts for effect, in case he missed basic biology while out patrolling.

“I’m sorry Bella. This sex thing is kinda new for me. My aim is not great!”

“You missed it by a damn foot? Get me a towel please so I can wipe this off and open my eyes. Please.”

“I’m sor…”

“Towel Jacob. My God you made a mess. What the hell? We did it twice yesterday and you still have all this?”

“Sorry.” I heard it in his voice. He wasn’t sorry.

A knock on the door.

“Jake? Bella? Everything okay?” Billy asked from the other side of the door. Don’t open your eyes Bella.

“Everything is great Billy. We will be right out.” I replied.

“You two want breakfast? I can make some pancakes.”

“Sounds great Dad.” Jake said, poorly concealing his laughter. How long does it take to find a damn towel? He has crap all over the floor.

“None for me Billy. I have already eaten this morning.” At least some of it made it in my mouth.

“Yeah and you haven’t even swallowed it yet Bella.” Jake chuckled.

“Jake? Want to guess what else I can make come out of this glove? I’ll give you a hint. It’s about a foot long and tube shaped.”

That shut him up.

“I can’t find a towel on the floor. Just let me go to the bathroom and grab one. Don’t open your eyes.” He definitely laughed that time.

“Give me one of your shirts.” I instructed him.

“Uh… that’s kinda gross Bells.”

Oh no he didn’t.

“Jake look at my face.”

“Yeah. It’s kinda hot.”

“Shirt Jake. Now.” He sat down next to me and wiped my eyes clear. Finally.

I used my new eyesight to glare at him.

“On my tits. On my damn tits. Is there another word you would prefer? Jugs, melons? Anything?”

“It was an accident.” I grabbed the shirt and resumed wiping off the rest of my face.

“Bullshit. You grabbed my hair and tilted my head up. It’s a damn miracle I closed my eyes in time.”

“I figured you would be okay. Shouldn’t that armor stuff protect your face?”

I glared at him again.

“Yeah. That’s what it is there for. To protect my face from your seed that you can’t aim. Or can you? This has to do with that Cullen scent you picked up in my living room doesn’t it?” Of course.

“No…”

“Don’t lie to me.” I told him sharply.

“I knew she would be there. It didn’t bother me…”

“Don’t. Lie. To. Me.”

He sighed. “It may have bothered me a bit.”

“Are you going to cum on my face every time a vampire comes over? Do I need to get one of those face shields?” I asked him seriously. God this stuff doesn’t come off. Just… stretches.

“No.” Now he was pouting.

“Go eat breakfast. I need to get dressed. Next time we are doing this at my place.”

“Bella if you think this was… I mean that scent…”

Good point. I probably would have drowned.

“Go eat.”

Jake moved towards the door.

“Uh Jake?”

“Yeah?”

“Aren’t you going to kiss me?” I asked him smiling.

“But…”

“Jake…”

“Yeah of course.” He leaned down to give me a peck on the lips and I grabbed the back of his hair and shoved my tongue down his throat. I let him up for air and gave him a look that dared him to say something.

“I’m going to go get coffee.” He mumbled. He turned around and I swatted his ass.

Shouldn’t my armor protect my face? Asshole. Cute asshole but still. I suppose we had come a long ways from drinking hot sodas and me handing him the wrong tools in his shed. It was good in ways. I loved our relationship now. I felt so complete with him.

Of course back when we were a couple innocent kids I didn’t have to stand in the mirror and make sure my face was clean.

I walked in the kitchen and saw Chris and Quil had already arrived and were eating. I poured a cup of coffee and sat down.

“Morning sunshine.” Quil greeted me.

“Mornin.” I mumbled. Nothing else was said. I looked up and saw Chris smiling and looking at his plate. Quil was barely holding in laughter. What the hell?

Jake wouldn’t look at me.

Billy was studying his plate like he found the secret to life in his eggs.

“So Bella, I was wondering, do you have dandruff or a new hair gel that flakes?” Quil asked.

Oh fuck no.

I ran to the bathroom and ran my fingers through my hair…

“Fuck! Jake!”

I heard laughter erupt in the kitchen. Glad they find this shit funny. Jake better not be laughing. He’s lucky Charlie isn’t here.

I marched back to the kitchen. If they thought I would be embarrassed… they were right. But I wouldn’t let these assholes know.

“I’m taking a shower. Again. Then we are going to Seattle to kill some vampires. And maybe a few other people if I hear another word about this.”

Judging by the laughter I heard after I left the kitchen I suppose I wasn’t as intimidating as I hoped. I better have better luck tonight.

Jacob POV

Yeah. She expects me to make love to here after smelling vampire scent all over her house and not cover her with my scent. Okay. So I probably shouldn’t have done that. But she opened her mouth when I tilted her head up. I mean if that’s not a green light… she shouldn’t send mixed signals. Not like I can pinpoint this.

“Can we change the station?” I asked. Bella laughed beside me. We were in the back seat of Chris’s tank.

“No. I like this music.” Quil replied.

“Heavy metal?” I asked the old man.

“What else do you want to listen to when preparing to battle horses of vampires Jacob?”

Uh…

“Anything else?”

“We could listen to Country.” Chris suggested.

“No!” Quil and I both said at the same time. Bella laughed.

“Relax Chris. Quileute’s don’t know good music.” Bella said.

“You shouldn’t talk about your people, Swan.” Quil said.

“I’m not Quileute.” Bella told him.

“No but you certainly have enough Quileute in you to be considered part of the tribe.”

Chris hit Quil in the back of the head.

These three had an interesting relationship. Charlie talked to me the other night about it. He didn’t say so but I had a feeling he was having some insecurity in regards to his place in Bella’s life.

He also asked me about the skin tight armor she wore when she came out of the surf.

I told him to ask Chris.

“So how do we find the red head?” I asked. I was curious. Bella seemed confident but I had a feeling I would be walking around Seattle trying to find leech stink.

“The more important question is how do we find this famous Seattle’s best coffee.” Chris said.

“Really? That’s the more important question?” I asked.

“Yeah. Lot of coffee in Seattle from what I hear. I want the best. If I have come all this way I want to say I drink the best.”

“From my research I believe we need to go to 1100 4th avenue, Chris. Its right near our first stop so it will work out.” Bella told him.

“This is what you research? Coffee shops?” I asked her.

“If we are going to drive 3 hours we may as well get a little of the local culture.”

“Vampires?” I reminded her.

“Got it. We won’t attack until right before sundown.” She told me.

Oh. Okay.

Two hours of bad music later we arrived in Seattle. Chris drove to an address south of downtown that Bella had given him. We pulled up next to an alley.

Bella stepped outside and walked into the alley.

I moved to follow and Quil held me back.

“Stay here.” He whispered.

“In the truck?”

“Yes. Is it too hot? I can crack a window.” The old fucker grinned.

“Dog jokes? I expected more from you old man.”

“Get used to disappointment.”

I leaned against the truck and watched Bella. The changes in her still struck me. Not just her physical appearance. She was much more confident. Despite what we were facing she seemed much more relaxed. It seemed she had discovered who she was while she was away and was at ease with it. I still felt like crawling out of my skin at times.

She just got on her knees. That brings back memories.

Focus Jacob. Now her legs were crossed under her. It wasn’t raining so maybe her jeans would stay dry.

I heard every word. Chris and Quil stood at the end of the alley watching her. They were focused on her intently. What was she doing? Then I heard her voice.

Who the hell was she talking to?

BPOV

The anger was still here. Lives taken away. Six people died in this alley a month ago. Burned bodies. The marks of a vampire feeding frenzy.

I relaxed and reached out. She walked up immediately to me. A young woman, not even 18 yet. Pretty girl. Poor thing.

“Hello.” I greeted her.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Bella. What is yours?”

“Cindy.”

“Cindy can you tell me what happened here?”

“They took me off the street. Two of them. I was walking by trying to find a cab. It was raining and I was annoyed. I wasn’t paying attention. When I got here there were four of them. Red eyes. I remember red eyes. One bit me. He… drank my blood. He killed me. All of us died.”

I looked behind her and saw three men and two other women walking up. Their clothes were torn. Dried blood covered their faces and clothes.

“Did you see what direction they came from?” I asked Cindy.

“No.”

“I did. They came from that way.” A man pointed to the East.

“Did you know where they live?”

He nodded.

“One came back. A young girl. I followed her. They are in a warehouse not far from here. Maybe five miles away.”

“Thank you.” I told him.

“Are you going to kill them?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“Good. I hope they all burn in hell.” Cindy said.

“Why are you all still here?” I asked.

No one had an answer.

“They are a problem for the living. Let me deal with them. Go. Stop holding on and go. It’s okay. I promise I will handle it.”

The spirits stood, staring at me. Finally they disappeared slowly. Cindy was the last to go.

“I wanted to be a nurse.” She whispered. I saw a tear on her cheek before she disappeared.

I could feel her tears. No. Those were mine. I wiped my face and walked to the truck. Chris had a map out.

“You heard?”

They both nodded.

“There was an attack not far from this warehouse distract. Practically next to it. A few people who have disappeared were last seen in this immediate area. It has to be one of these.” Chris said.

“Who were you talking to Bella?” Jake asked wrapping his warm arms around my body from behind.

“The reasons we are doing this Jake.”

“Let’s go. We can get Chris some damn coffee and get some lunch, then we can find this damn warehouse.” Quil said. He was no longer smiling like he had been for most of the trip. He saw. He heard. He was angry. Good. We all needed to be in the right frame of mind.

Two hours later we had lunch and had found the warehouse district. What used to be the warehouse district. It was nothing but abandoned large, dark neglected buildings now.

“Ya know what you don’t see around here?” Chris asked.

“Hygiene?” I guessed.

“Homeless people.”

Good point. I looked around and felt the pull.

Behind me.

He was standing next to a door of a warehouse. I walked slowly up to him and he jumped back.

“I’m not here to hurt you.” I told him in my softest voice.

“You are not one of them?” he asked. Poor man. He had a difficult life before his death. So much fear.

“No. Where are they?”

He pointed down the street to the warehouse backed up to the water’s edge. I nodded.

“You don’t have to be scared anymore. Go rest.”

“Rest?”

“Yes.”

He actually smiled. His form became blurry and he was gone.

“Jake, could you check out the warehouse at the end? Not to close. I don’t want them to smell you.”

Jake jogged towards the warehouse and stopped one hundred feet from the front.

Running back, his face was grim.

“Damn place reeks of bloodsuckers.”

I nodded. That was it. They were all in there. I hoped she was as well.

“How many Jake?” Quil asked.

“I have no idea. It’s like a leech stink convention in there. Whole damn building smells.”

At least twenty.

“I need a nap.” I walked back to the truck and opened the back, lying down across the large seat. Closing my eyes I began focusing on my breath. In and out. In and out.

Five minutes later I felt it. My soul disconnected. I was over the truck. Chris, Quil and Jake were standing by it. I got used to the feeling of weightlessness and focused my mind on where I wanted to be.

I was in the warehouse. Damn what a mess.

Two bodies on the floor were screaming. Turning. Nearly finished by the look of them. They had all the features of a leech. I counted 18 more. Six were fighting each other. Until a voice screamed at them to stop. I looked over and stood in front of the screaming female. She of course couldn’t see me.

She was angry. Losing control of your little army, aren’t you?

“Focus you idiots! The Cullen’s are coming for us. They will kill you all. We must destroy them to survive. How can we do that if you can’t stop fighting amongst yourselves?” she asked desperately.

“Where is Riley?” one asked.

“The Cullen’s killed him!” Victoria screamed.

I hate it when others take credit for my work.

I had seen all I needed to. They were all here. She was here.

I closed my eyes and reached out to my body. Soon my eyes were opening and I found myself sitting up in the back of Chris’s truck.

I opened the door and stepped out.

“Nice nap dear?” Jake asked.

“Don’t be a smart ass.” I looked at Quil. “Eighteen. She is there. Plus two are about to finish transforming.”

“Okay. You ready?” Quil asked.

Was I? I looked at Jake. He nodded. He was ready.

“Yeah. Take your positions. Jake and I go in. Nobody comes out until we are dead or they are.”

Chris and Quil nodded.

“You aren’t going in without us.”

I turned around wondering who the fuck could have snuck up on us and ready to slice them into tiny pieces.

Embry and Quil.

“What the hell are you two doing here?!” Jake asked.

“Bella said today we would no longer have to worry about the redhead. We figured you two were making some kind of move. Since we aren’t allowed near the Cullen’s anymore we figured it wouldn’t hurt to follow you.”

Shit.

“You need to leave.” I told them. “Jake make them…”

“We fight where Jake fights.” Embry told me.

Jake looked at me. Now they were all looking at me.

“We are about to fight 19 vampires and Victoria. Plus two that may well wake up in the middle of the fight.” I explained.

“We know.” Quil told me, looking me in the eye.

“Okay.” I sighed. More people at risk. It was bound to come. May as well start now. Maybe…”Why don’t you guys stay out here and watch Old Quil and Chris’s backs? They are going to be…”

“We fight where Jake fights. Looks like that’s going to be where you fight. We are going in.” Embry told me in a tone that left no room for discussion.

“Let’s do this then.” I sighed. Jake winked at them.

The four of us walked towards the front door. We stood in front of it while Quil and Chris set up on either side. I heard the chanting and the fighting inside stopped.

Chris and Quil would make sure none escaped. It was our job to make sure none were left alive to escape.

I felt the power the two emitted. It was done. No one was coming out. It was time to enter.

“Who goes first?” Embry asked.

I armored up, burning my clothes off. I formed a sword in my glove and tossed it to my left hand. I formed an axe in my glove for my right hand. This caught Embry and Quil’s attention.

“Fucking sweet.” Quil whispered.

“I go…” I started.

“I go in first. Let’s do this.”

Jake phased and charged the door, knocking it over and barreling in. Embry and Quil phased and we ran in after him. Time to play.

Narrator POV

Victoria was having a bad day. She had come to grips with the fact that Riley fucked up. He was gone. He would never have ran from her. He loved her. She made sure of it. Victoria had given him two vampires and explicit instructions to avoid the wolves. Riley promised her that he would.

The Cullen’s didn’t kill him. They were too weak. It must have been the wolves. The damn wolves.

Now she found herself babysitting unruly newborn babies. The idea of managing an army was losing its appeal. She would have to strike soon. They would rebel soon enough. They were constantly turning on one another. Without Riley they did not have a strong leader.

The screams of those changing would not stop. She usually had Riley stay with them. A part of her wondered if she should just kill them to make the screaming stop.

Her thoughts ended when the door to her warehouse crashed open.

Jake looked up and saw the red head once again. Only this time she couldn’t escape. No trees for her to hide behind. No treaty line to cross over. She was trapped. Judging by the look on her face she realized it as well.

Behind him Victoria saw two other wolves and… a girl? In armor? She sniffed the air. Mixed in the scent of wolf was the scent she had been obsessing over. The one human she wanted dead more than any in her long life.

Bella Swan.

“Hi Victoria. I heard you were looking for me?” Bella said in that sweet soft voice of hers. What the hell was she dressed in?

Victoria snarled and attacked. Her newborns followed.

Jake, Quil and Embry charged into the mass of vampires. Victoria flew towards Bella prepared to deliver a killing blow. Before her hand struck Bella’s head, the girl dodged. Victoria flew by. She turned in time to see a large silver glove strike her in her jaw.

Victoria fell back and stared at her target.

“What are you? What do you have on? How did you do that?” Victoria asked in shock holding her jaw.

“You had a choice. You could have gone after the coven that killed your sadistic mate or the weak little human. You made the wrong fucking choice bitch.”

Victoria barely saw the axe swing in time for her to lean back. The blade missed her neck by less than an inch.

Bella saw Victoria’s fist coming toward her head. She ducked and saw it go over. Bringing her sword up she struck Victoria in her armpit, the tip of the sword, breaking through her shoulder. Victoria and Bella both screamed for very different reasons.

The noise distracted the newborns who were being thrown about by the vicious wolves running over them. Panic ensued. Although they had the numbers not one of the vampires had ever encountered a creature that matched their strength and ferocity. They only saw teeth.

Jake felt like a buzz saw. He had six vampires herded into a corner. He jumped on them and began biting. No target. Just biting. The overwhelming scent to leech caused Jacob to turn feral. He was not communicating with his brothers. He only knew his mate was behind him and his enemies were in front.

Embry and Quil had also lost all track of conscious thought. Embry only felt joy in the feel of his jaws closing on the head of a leech. Male, female, didn’t matter. He felt one head give and moved on to the next. One jumped on his back. He was vaguely aware of Quil pulling the leech off with his teeth before he was focused on his next target.

Victoria took a moment to look at the destruction of her army. Three wolves were tearing them to pieces. Body parts were flying in the air. A head flew past her, a silent scream frozen on its face.

Victoria turned and swung her uninjured arm towards Bella. Bella ducked. Victoria couldn’t understand it. The human… she could hear her heartbeat… should not be able to move like this. Should not have weapons that could injure her.

She did the only thing she could think of. She tackled her.

Bella found herself underneath Victoria’s snapping mouth. Her teeth edging closer to her neck. Bella was not as strong as Victoria. But she was confident. Her armor doubled on her neck the closer Victoria’s mouth got to her. She raised a knee into the redhead’s groin and flipped her over. Victoria rose to her feet to see Bella hadn’t. She remained on the ground, smiling.

A flash of silver and Victoria fell, her feet gone from her body.

“Don’t go anywhere bitch. I’ll be back.” Bella turned and ran into the swarm of newborns who were beating on doors that would not budge.

Bella jumped over Jake’s back and brought her axe down. A vampire’s scream was stopped as he was split in two. She turned and grabbed another one, a blond headed female and tossed her into Jakes mouth. He bit her in half.

The fighting stopped. The growling. The snarls and the screams. The screams…

Bella looked around the room of body parts and saw the two who had been turning had sat up. Running between them Bella sliced both their heads off, never breaking stride.

Victoria rolled over and saw three angry wolves with their heads down and an armor clad girl holding a sword and an axe striding towards her.

Bella knelt down by Victoria. She tried to bite her and was slapped by the human. It hurt.

The sword and axe in Bella’s hand disappeared. A small blade appeared.

“Do you want to know what I am Victoria?” she whispered.

Victoria nodded, unable to speak.

“To your kind, I am death. If it makes you feel better my friends and I will be sending a lot more of your kind to hell with you.”

Victoria felt the blade at her neck. She felt the blade sear into her marble flesh and then knew no more.

Quil and Chris felt it at the same time. The absence of the undead. They were there. But they were in pieces. Quil let go of his hold as did Chris on the other side. They walked to the front to see three naked men following an armor clad young lady strolling out the door. Bella was nearly completely covered in armor up to her chin. Chris tossed Jake, Quil and Embry clothes. They dressed quickly and Jake walked up and placed a hand around Bella’s waist from behind.

“What took you so long” Old Quil asked. Bella shot the finger at him.

“Chris? I’m a little tired. You mind?” Bella asked. Chris smiled and nodded. Removing his cowboy hat he looked towards the sky. Within seconds thunder was heard. Embry and Quil jumped when lightening crashed into the building they had just exited.

Smoke began to roll off the roof.

“That will take too long. I think I saw gas lines in there.” Bella commented. She turned toward the building and Quil and Embry jumped once again when a ball of pure energy left Bella’s gloved right hand flew through the opening into the back wall, striking a natural gas line. The explosion kicked started a chain reaction. As they reached the truck the roof of the building exploded up and then crashed down on the burning remains of the newborn army and its creator.

Chris drove the five of them three blocks down. Embry and Quil got out next to Embry’s car.

“Hey guys?” Bella asked.

“Yeah?’ Embry replied turning cautiously towards the truck.

“I’m about to put some clothes on back here. You guys hungry? I got the address of what is supposed to be a great hamburger place about four miles away?”

Embry and Quil stared at her for a few seconds. Sweet Bella Swan, the woman who just along with them tore 19 vampires to pieces and cut the redheads head off with a knife that grew out of her palm. Finally Quil shrugged his shoulders.

“Sure. But you’re buying.”
