Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

The Rabbit Meets The Magic Stick

By Mama4Dukes

Chapter 24:

Bella’s eyes popped open as the wind began picking up. Even with Paul’s body heat protecting her, it was still cold. She quickly slipped her dress and the matching sweater back on, in hopes that they would give her extra protection from the elements. She didn’t bother with the uncomfortable pantyhose. She left them balled up on the floor of the Rabbit.

She nudged Paul awake. “What is it, baby?”

“It’s cold. Can we go back to the…”

“Well, well, what have we here?” a familiar, chilling female voice sneered.

“Oh, look, it’s two little, human teenagers,” a male voice with a Jamaican accent added.

“Fuck!” Paul cursed as he looked up at the three bloodsuckers: a Rastafarian in a suit, a flaming redheaded chick, and a blonde dude with a man-bun, all of whom were leering at Bella as if she was a one-of-a-kind dessert. They surrounded the car as if they were wild animals moving in for the kill. He put his arm around his girl and pulled her closer to him.

“God, damn it! Not you three assholes again! Am I ever, in my lifetime, going to get rid of you?” She shook her head. “Just when things are getting good in my life, you fuckers have to come in and ruin it for me.”

The three bloodsuckers turned to each other with confused expressions on their faces. Bella lifted up her wrist to show Paul her vampire bite. He understood immediately.

A car engine rumbled to a stop right behind the Rabbit. Of course, this was on the way to the cabin. It wasn’t a well-traveled road, but a public road nonetheless.

Helen Swan came bounding out of the station wagon. “Where the goddamned hell were you, young lady? When I tell you to meet me in front of the high school after the dance, you do it! You don’t…” She got an eyeful of Paul’s naked form, the rolled up nylons, and the open box of condoms. “Were you having sex?”

Glenda Lahote gasped and angrily put her hands on her hips. “In public, too! What happened to modesty?” She turned to Paul. “Young man, when I tell you to be somewhere at a certain time, it doesn’t give you leave to take off whenever you damned well please without any notification to anyone! I told you that we’d be picking you up at the dance and you just went off and disappeared to have sex with your girlfriend. Shame on you!”

“You two are grounded! Both of you are grounded! Is that understood?” Aunt Molly added. “How dare you disrespect us?”

Meanwhile, Jacob got out of the station wagon, put on his signature smile, and introduced himself to the three vampires. “Hi, I’m Jack Sparrow. Do you go to Forks High, too?”

Bella stared with her mouth agape at her friend, while Paul simply shook his head in disbelief. Jake may actually be too friendly to be a wolf or too slow-one of the two. Didn’t he notice their blood red eyes?

“Young lady, I want answers and I want answers now!” her grandmother shouted angrily.

Meanwhile, Aunt Molly came to realize what the three strangers were and tried to get everyone back into the station wagon.

Jake, on the other hand, was staring at his Rabbit. “Cool. It has a new paint job and the engine is running. I wonder how this happened?”

“You know it was wonderful getting to know you, but I’m getting ravenous. Luckily, we have a bountiful meal in front of us to satisfy our appetites,” the blond male vampire drawled with a contemptuous curl of his lip.

“Oh, fuck you, James! I’m getting sick and tired of your stupid games. Seriously? How long have you been playing them? Months? Years? Centuries?” Bella asked.

“How do you know my name?” When Bella didn’t reply, he shouted. “How?”

“Answer him, human!”

“Aren’t you sick of being his little lapdog, Vicky?” Bella chuckled. “I know how he’s going to play the game. He’s going to give us a head start, and then take us down one by one. He thinks he’s being funny, but in actuality, he’s a raving lunatic. What? Cat got your tongue, sweetheart?”

“I don’t know who you are or how you know about us, but you will tell us now!” The redhead’s eyes were wide in a combination of fear and anger. Her nostrils were flared and her teeth bared in anger as she crouched down low in an attack position. “Who told you about us?” Victoria demanded.

“ Pfft. Wouldn’t you like to know?”

Bella then turned to the Rastafarian, “Are you going to just stand there and act all innocent, Laurent? I know you’re just as bloodthirsty as your two buddies here. Jasper felt the bloodlust and deceit radiating off of you before the Cullens sent you to Alaska.”

Paul kept his eyes on the three vampires. They were having a stare down. The redhead was the same one that his pack, back in the future, had been chasing down for months. He was sure of it by her scent. She had been coming in and out of Forks and La Push since the Cullens left. She was a tough one to kill, but if he could get rid of her, many lives on the Olympic Peninsula would be saved.

He had to make his move. The redhead was going to snap soon. He sensed the presence of the three elder wolves nearby and knew they’d heard everything. Bella was smart. She was feeding him information while taunting the vampires. It was time. He kissed his girl soundly on her lips and whispered that he loved her. After one last look at the love of his life, he abruptly jumped out of the backseat and phased on the fly, landing on the redhead, and instantly severing her head from her body.

He heard the creepy man-bun vampire scream, “Noooo! Victoria!”

The elder wolves thundered to the scene to help. James and Laurent got into attack position. The wolves circled around them.

“Jacob!” Bella hissed. “Jacob!”

“What?” he asked with a terrified expression on his face.

“You should probably phase and help them.”

“Uh… okay,” he whimpered, shaking in fear. He had no idea how to help them. All he knew was that he was scared.

“You can do this, Jake. I have faith in you. You just have to overpower them, then decapitate them.”

Suddenly, Ephraim Black tripped over his long fur, giving the vampires the opening they needed. Laurent quickly grabbed the old wolf by the torso, but before he could crush him, Jake-fearing for his grandfather’s life-had phased and kicked him away. Paul caught the Rasatafarian and made quick work of dispatching him. He gnawed his head off while Levi Uley separated his legs from his torso.

Unfortunately, the other wolves became distracted and James took the opportunity to grab Helen Swan and moved her to the center of the circle.

“Stop! I’m ordering you to stand down!” James cried. “I’m going to tear this bitch limb from limb, and then I’m coming for you,” he hissed to Bella, and then turned to Paul. “You killed my mate. I’m going to destroy yours! And I’m not going to kill you either. You’re going to suffer just like me!”

Bella had to think quickly in order to save her grandmother. She had to distract James long enough so that her grandma had ample time to run. It occurred to her that the story she had been told while growing up-that her grandmother was killed in a car accident along with two other women when her father was still in high school-was a cover. Helen, Glenda, and Molly had been killed in a vampire attack.

She hated herself for having dated Edward Cullen more than ever now. She had dishonored her grandmother’s memory by doing that, but no more. She was going to change that by saving her grandmother’s life, and she knew exactly how.

Bella spotted a Swiss Army Knife on the floor of the Rabbit. She reached down to pick it up and flipped it open. She turned to Jacob, put her hand over her heart, and gave him a warm smile. “Mud Pies,” she mouthed to him. “Stay strong, Jakey.”

Next, she met Paul’s big pleading eyes and whispered, “I love you,” to him. Paul shook his head wildly, desperate for her not to do what he suspected she was going to do.

She took a deep breath and faced the vampire. “Oh, James, I have something here for you,” she taunted. “Come on. Take a whiff. I know you like it. I know that my blood smells particularly appetizing to you.”

James shook his head and hung onto Helen who yelled, “Save yourself, baby! Please! I’ve lived my life!”

“Come on, James,” Bella encouraged. She took the blade and sliced down her arm. “Do you want a taste?”

The vampire’s nostrils flared and his eyes widened as the fragrant bouquet of her blood tempted him.

“No, Bella!” Aunt Molly begged. “Don’t do this!”

“Oh, Bella, please! No!” Glenda cried.”Please don’t do this, honey!”

“You know you want me. I want you to want me,” she purred seductively, channeling her best impression of Jessica Rabbit. She sliced again. This time the cut was deeper and the blood flowed freely to the ground. “You don’t want all of this delicious blood to go to waste, do you?” Bella was holding her breath in. The rusty smell of the blood was nauseating. She felt like fainting, but she had to keep at it. She could tell that the vampire’s resolve was weakening.

Another drop hit the floor. James inhaled again and his face took on an expression of ecstasy. As if in a trance, the vampire dropped Helen Swan onto the forest floor, and began a slow walk towards Bella, who had collapsed into the backseat of the Rabbit. At the same time, Paul dove onto the vampire and clamped his jaw down on his neck. Jake came to assist and between the two of them they were able to destroy the vampire.

He caught sight of Quil Ateara in human form, waving his magic stick around, chanting in ancient Quileute while dancing.

“Bella!” Helen, Molly, and Glenda screamed simultaneously. Paul looked up to see his love being whisked away by the twister along with Jake’s Rabbit.

He quickly returned to human form and tried to follow Bella, but a second twister touched down and whisked Jacob and him away. He tried to hold onto his friend, but the force of the tornado was too powerful, and they became separated. It was the last thing he recalled before losing consciousness.
