The Major And His Demon

Chapter 04:

Bella goes to New York

New York City

Bella took in the opulence around her. She had never stayed in such a nice hotel. It was amazing to her that an illegal high stakes casino was operating under her feet in the basement. Everything seemed too beautiful for something so seedy to be happening. Matthew carried her bag up the stairs into her room. He took the room next to hers. In any other situation they would have shared a bed. But Lilly was here for business. She dressed with the help of Matthew. She had no idea how to put make up on but thankfully Matthew had seen her sisters do it often enough that he was able to assist. They laughed at their missteps. They relaxed. Lilly didn’t want to fuck. She wanted to be on edge. So they watched television. It was almost like they weren’t here to send someone to hell.

Lilly looked at herself in the mirror and admitted she looked beautiful. She was wearing a blue dress that wrapped around her neck and plunged to the front to her navel. It flared out into a loose skirt at the bottom and barely went past her thighs. The dress was satin and the way it touched her body felt so nice. She was not wearing a bra. They didn’t make bras to go with this dress. She had light lipstick on and a light blue shade of eyeliner. She was dressed to kill, literally.

“Wait Lilly.”

Lilly turned to see Matthew approaching her with ice cubes. He reached into her top and placed the ice cubes on her nipples.

“Holy shit Matthew! What the hell are you doing?” She asked jumping back.

Matthew laughed. “If you want to get in, hard nipples help. I can use ice or my tongue. But if I use my tongue we won’t get you there on time.”

Lilly smiled and walked back up to Matthew. He placed the ice against her nipples and she shivered.

He gently wiped the water away with his fingers and laid the satin back over her breasts.

“Perfect. You know what to do?”

Lilly rolled her eyes, hoping she looked more confident that she was. “Yes Matthew.”

“Good. I will be waiting in the next room, after you are done.”

Lilly took the elevator to the basement. She remembered the directions Abe had given her. Two rights and a left and she was at a solid steel door guarded by a man in a tuxedo.

“Can I help you miss?” He asked staring at her chest. She was so tense she probably didn’t need the ice. But judging by his reaction to her nipples poking through her dress it was better to be safe.

“I understand there may be some entertainment I might find interesting in this room.” She said in a low voice, as if sharing a secret with this man.

“It is possible. How badly do you want in?” The man said leering at her.

“Badly enough to invite you to my room when I am done here.”

“How about we take a short trip to my office first. In case you get lucky later and don’t want to leave?”

Lilly touched his cheek with her hand and gazed into his eyes.

“Let me in. Now.”

Lilly really didn’t believe this would work. But to her amazement the man’s eyes glazed over and he reached for the knob. Opening the door he wished her good luck. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

Lilly stepped into another world. Gaming tables all around. Darkened corners. Intense looking older men staring at cards. Players yelling at the Craps table. Beautiful, barely dressed women standing by their men. And then she saw him. And she felt the beast rising.

Lilly stared at the towering man standing in front of the Craps table. She had not seen a vampire since Victoria. Prior to that it had been the Cullens. She took a deep breath and allowed herself to reminisce. She thought of her former best friend Alice. The first girl she had a crush on. She thought of Edward Cullen and felt the hate rise in her heart. And then she thought of Jasper. The one she wanted. The one who told her she was worth it. The one she would stare at when Edward wasn’t looking. Alice’s husband. The one she couldn’t have. He never smiled at her much. But she could swear she saw want in his eyes when he looked at her. He looked at her as if she were prey. And she knew she liked it. She knew nothing of wants and desires. She was too afraid to masturbate, fearing what Edward might smell on her. But she knew she wanted him, even knowing that she couldn’t have him. She shook her head, bringing herself to the real world. The Cullens were off living their fairy tale life and she wasn’t in a bad place either. She had those who loved and wanted her. She had a purpose in life. And it was time to concentrate on that purpose.

Her target. Felix Volturi. He was standing at the Craps table not fifteen feet in front of her. She walked to the other side within his line of vision. He looked up and she smiled. He smiled back. She was worried she may be a little too old for his tastes. In fact she knew she was. About twelve years to old. So Abe had given her another approach. Something no vampire could turn down. A willing victim.

“I know what you are.” She whispered. The effect it had was instantaneous. He looked back up at her shock evident on his pale handsome face. Lilly beckoned with her head to a nearby table. She walked over and had a seat showing off as much of her legs as she could. Felix followed her and pulled a seat for himself.

“It’s hot in here.” Lily said running a finger from her neckline past her cleavage. She had never been good at seduction. But her friend inside was very good indeed. She could hear it whispering in her ear. Telling her what to say.

“Your name, my lady?” he asked.

“My name isn’t important. At least until you have heard my proposal.”

“And what proposal would that be?”

“I like to live life on the edge. I know what you are. And I know that any human with this knowledge has to be killed or changed into what you are. A vampire.”

“And who told you this information?” He asked in a low voice.

“Edward Cullen.” Lilly responded. The shock on Felix’s face was nearly funny. But not quite.

“And why are you telling me this?”

“I don’t want to live. I don’t want this human life. Especially now that I know what is out there. I want to be turned or dead. And quite honestly if I am going to be killed I wouldn’t mind it being by someone like you.”

“So you want me to decide whether you live or change?” he asked raising an eyebrow.

“No. I have a better idea. I want to play you in a hand of poker. If I win, you take me upstairs and change me. If I lose I take you to my room and consent to you killing me. I only ask that you make it last as long as possible.”

“Do you have some kind of death fetish?” He asked, looking confused.

“Not exactly. I told you I like to live life on the edge. But if I lose, I will submit to your every desire.” Lilly said speaking softly.

Felix could not believe his luck. Aro was meeting with Carlisle Cullen in this very hotel over business matters. Felix planned to kill this girl either way. But to have her voluntarily walk him to her room and invite death was too much. Afterward he would have the pleasure of telling Aro about Edward Cullen’s violation of the law. His master would be pleased. An edge over Carlisle Cullen.

“Waitress. A deck of cards please.” Felix said to the passing girl.

She returned with the deck within seconds. Felix passed the cards to Lilly.

“You deal. This is your life we are talking about after all.” Felix smiled.

“I have to say, if I am to die tonight I picked a handsome man to spend my final moments with.” Lilly responded and dealt the cards. Looking at her cards she saw she had nothing. Perfect. She took three cards. Felix took one. They laid their cards on the table. Lilly had nothing. Felix had a full house, aces high. He smiled at his prey.

“Bad luck.”

“Story of my life.” Lilly whispered.

“I do intend to hold you to your end of the agreement of course.”

“Of course.” She took a deep breath. “I do not want to wait. The anticipation will kill me before you… anyway can we do this now?”

“Of course. Lead the way.” He smiled waving his arm toward the door.

“May I have a last request?”

“Of course. If I can provide it within reason of course.”

“I want to be fucked one more time. Can you do that before you…?”

Felix smiled. He had sex with humans before. They were very breakable. Not that it mattered. He imagined himself smashing her pelvis and crushing her breasts while he drained her blood. The thought made him hard.

“Of course. Can I know your name?”

“Not much point in it now is there?” Lily asked, doing her best to look scared. She stood up and walked to the door, Felix following her.

They reached the elevator and rose up.

“What part of my body will you… you know… suck my blood?” Lilly asked, her voice shaking somewhat.

“Do you have a preference?”

“Whatever works best for you I suppose?” Lilly whispered. The elevator bell indicated they had arrived at her floor. She stepped off and could feel Felix behind her. She could feel his desire. His desire to tear her to shreds and make her suffer.

She opened her door and walked inside, standing in front of the bed.

“What do you want me to do? How do you want to do this?” She asked quietly. She wasn’t quiet because of her nerves. She was concentrating on keeping the demon at bay until it was time. Slowly letting it merge with her. Just as Abe had taught her.

“Take off your dress.”

“Take off your clothes.” She responded somewhat forcefully.

“Excuse me? You are my prize. You do as I tell you too.” Felix said no longer trying to sound charming.

Felix began to wonder if he would need a gag. She must be realizing that this was not a game. She was going to die here tonight, in this room over a stupid game of chance. Surely she would begin panicking soon. And he needed her somewhat quiet for the pain he was about to inflict on her.

“Please. You are so beautiful. I want to see you naked. I will take my dress off. After you take off your clothes.”

Felix decided he would rather be nude. No point in getting blood on his tuxedo. In an instant he was unclothed. She gazed at him surprised by his speed in undressing and most likely the hard member currently rising from his pelvis. Felix had to chuckle a little at her reaction.

Lilly was simply surprised that for such a large man, he had such a small penis.

Without dropping her dress she walked up to the large man and jumped up wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She felt his cold hands cup her ass.

“I want to kiss you. Then you can do with me what you well. I am good at taking pain. I will last as long as I can. I intend to hold up my end of the bargain.”

Felix did not resist when she lowered her lips onto his. Her lips were warm. And getting warmer. He squeezed her firm ass hard, excited about the possibilities of what he would do to her body. She leaned back and dropped her legs to the floor.

“A kiss before dying.” She said looking into his deep red eyes.

Felix looked into her eyes. Her eyes that had turned completely black.

She turned away from him. “Lay down on your back Felix. On the bed. Now.”

Felix was about to slap her for playing games. The eyes bothered him greatly. Instead of attacking her he found himself lying on the bed as she instructed.

Lilly sat on the edge of the bed and began stroking his marble legs.

“Tell me about the children Felix.”

“What?” Felix tried to move. But he had no control over his limbs.

“The children Felix. The 186 children you have tortured and murdered in the past ten years. I would go back farther but the number would be so high even I wouldn’t believe it. Why children Felix? Any victim in the world and you go after the most innocent.” She gave him the same disappointed look a mother may give a child who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Felix was speechless. No one besides Aro knew of this. But she knew. Somehow she knew. Why couldn’t he move? What was going on? He attempted to strain his muscles but had no feeling at all. He was paralyzed. But he could feel. He felt her hands stroking his leg. He felt her breath in his hair when she spoke softly to him. She smelled so damn good.

“I don’t know what you are talking about. What are you?”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Yes, please.” He had to know. He was suddenly very afraid. But still the idea that this would be his last night on Earth was inconceivable to him. He was immortal.

“First you have to let me do something. I am going to show you what everyone of your victims felt while you were with them. Are you ready for this? It’s going to hurt like a bitch.” Lilly smiled and placed her hand on his forehead. And Felix screamed silently. The pain was unbearable. He felt all the hurt and fear and shame and pain that he had inflicted on every child he had ever taken. And he felt it at once. When he opened his eyes he looked up at Lilly. He now understood fear. But her face was wrong. Her face was hideous. It was a blackened mask over a skull. Her arms were ebony black. Only her eyes were no longer black. They were red. Glowing red. Her (its?) hand glided over and grabbed his cock. That felt so good despite his fear. He was instantly hard. The hand was warm. It was too warm. He attempted to look down but she called his name.

“Felix, I need you to look at me.” Her voice was no longer soft and soothing. It was scratchy. It was slightly deeper. It sounded like she was crawling out of a grave.

He stared at her. It looked like black small horns were rising from the top of her skull. Her hair was turning a deep blood red in contrast to her totally midnight black features.

“We have a decision to make. I can let you live. But I will make you feel the pain of your victims for eternity. You will be in pain for eternity. Unable to move, unable to speak, alone. Feeling what those children felt. And you will be without this pathetic thing you call a dick.” He felt an intense heat around his cock. And suddenly the demon, because what else could she be, was holding it in front of his face. She opened his jaw and placed it in his mouth.

“Or I can send you home. Do you want to go home Felix? Blink if you do. I realize you have your mouth full.” She began laughing. It was a frightening laugh that sent shivers down his spine. A high pitched giggle that sounded like it belonged to a little girl. Go home? Yes, he wanted to go home very badly right now. He blinked rapidly.

“Good. You made the wise choice. Either way you will suffer unspeakable agonies for eternity. But at least down there Satan may let you keep your pathetic cock. Not that you will need it. There is a special hell reserved for you Felix.”

Felix lay unmoving with his cock in his mouth. He was beginning to understand that he was not getting out of this. And he didn’t know why. He had never considered being a victim. The thought never crossed his mind. He felt the demon on him place her hands on his cheeks. And she began to chant.

He didn’t recognize the language but he felt it in his black soul. He felt himself slipping away. Her hands were hot. Was that sulfur he smelled? He drew his eyes downward, past the point where his cock used to sit. He saw smoke rising up from his feet. His legs were turning to ash before his eyes.

“Look at me Felix. Look at me. It’s time to go home. Home to hell.” He stared into the creatures red eyes. He tried to close his eyes so he would not see her but he couldn’t. She was searing into him. Her hands were burning him. He felt his hair on fire. And finally Felix found the ability to scream.

“Lilly? Lilly wake up.”

Lilly looked up and saw Matthew kneeling over her on the ground stroking her forehead.

“What happened?”

“You don’t remember?”

“Yes, I remember killing Felix. Watching him burn. But how did I get here on the floor?”

“You had a rather difficult time pressing the demon back down. But you did. You did it Lilly. Everyone will be so proud of you. I have already called Abe and told him how well you did. But we need to get out of here. It will be daylight soon and I really don’t want to explain the man sized burn mark that goes straight through the mattress.”

Lilly nodded and stood up. She felt great now that she had her wits about her. She had done it. Her first kill. She got revenge for the children. Maybe it means nothing to them. But it would mean something to those who would have been his victims in the future. And there was one less vampire on earth. Lilly had never felt so alive. She slipped her dress off and put on the jeans and top Matthew handed her. The two walked hand in hand through the hotel lobby looking like young lovers on a trip together. Matthew hailed them a cab. As Matthew was closing the door she heard him.

“Bella? Bella what are you doing here?” Carlisle Cullen was walking towards the cab at a high rate of speed.

“Bella wait. Please let me talk to you.”

“Go driver. Go Now!” Lilly yelled at the driver. Matthew knew who was coming this way. He looked at the good doctor and locked eyes with him and winked. Carlisle froze when he saw the black shadow cross Matthew’s eyes. The cab drove off and melted into New York City traffic. Carlisle had just seen the girl he considered a daughter for the first time in a year and she ran from him. He didn’t know what to expect when he saw Bella again. But he didn’t think she would run. Who was the guy with her? What was she doing in this hotel? The cheapest rooms were $925 a night.

What was wrong with that guy’s eyes?

Sonora Texas

Jasper sat in the room in silence. He had sent Alice to Peter and Char’s room to do what they pleased. He had no desire to join. Only one thing was on his mind. One obsession that had been growing over the past year. Getting Bella. He thought back to the conversation with the one man he found who would talk today. For a small town people didn’t talk much around here. He took a risk going out in the sunlight. It’s always so damn bright here. But wearing the heavy duster and black hat was worth it. Not that he received much information but what he did hear was disturbing.

The old man at the feed store had looked around before speaking. Jasper had found it strange since there was obviously no one around.

“Listen son. Strange things happen at that bar late at night. Around midnight. Indecent things. If you are a Christian of any sort you stay away from that place.”

“Who owns the bar sir?”

“I don’t know. All I know is the band that plays there and the employees live on a ranch about ten miles from the bar.”

“All of them live together?” Jasper asked surprised.

“Yep. But they must change out every so often.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Son I am 60 years old and that damn bar and ranch has been there since I was a kid. Some say it’s the same people. But that’s just crazy talk. Superstitious old bastards who believe the old legends of this town.” Despite his protest, the man looked around again. “Occasionally we will see a couple of the girls around town, always with a man. They never go anywhere alone. And they never stay long. They live at the ranch and work at the bar most every night. That’s all I know.”

“Can you tell me where this ranch is?”

“I will, but don’t be telling anyone I told you.”

“Sir, are you afraid of these people?” Jasper asked sensing fear not only in his emotions but in his scent.

“I don’t know. They ain’t ever given me a reason to. But the ones I have met. Even the girls. They seem nice enough but they… they are different. Hell, if you want to know the absolute truth they scare the hell out of me. And as long as I am being honest son, you sorta do too.”

Jasper took the photo of Bella from his inside coat, ignoring the man’s remark. If he was afraid of Jasper he would be more compliant.

“Have you seen this woman around?”

The man peered at the photo and appeared to be thinking hard.

“No, I haven’t seen her around. But like I said, they don’t come here often into town. For a ranch, that place don’t have a single animal on it from what I hear. Strange ranch if you ask me.”

Jasper could detect no deception in the man. He received the directions and came straight back to the Motel. He heard Peter finishing up with the girls.

A few moments later Peter was opening the door, followed in by Char and Alice.

“So what do you think Major? We going back tonight?”

“No.”

The three looked at each other in surprise. Alice was about to open her mouth but a look from Peter and a quick shake of the head made her reconsider.

“We are leaving right now. We are going at least 50 miles away. Tonight we leave them alone. Tomorrow night, Alice, Charlotte and I will drive in and head straight to the bar. You Peter, are going to the ranch. I want you to break in. I want to know what is going on in that place. Bella is with this group. I don’t know if they are protecting her, or keeping her against her will. They appear to possibly be some sort of religious cult. But she is there. They are connected. If we leave now they may think we have given up. Let down their guard. The time for games is over. I am speaking to the lead singer of the band tomorrow night and I won’t leave the bar until I do.”

“Sounds like a plan Major.”

An hour later and Bo and Michael were watching the yellow Porsche and the red, one ton Chevrolet truck leave the motel. They followed at a distance and saw the vampires leaving the city limits. Sarah and Selena were driving in from the ranch and passed them 6 miles from town heading out. They called Abe and confirmed the vampires were leaving.

Abe was somewhat relieved. He had communed with his Master and did not like what he heard. The small brunette with short hair was harmless. She had never killed another living soul. The other one with red eyes and his mate were more troublesome but also were not on the list. They apparently went after evil humans. It wasn’t a mission to the two, more of a way of life, but they carried out the Lord’s work. Not exactly pleasing to the Master. The balance between life and death, good and evil, was slim.

The Blonde cowboy was another matter. Jasper Whitlock. He was near the top of the list when he stopped killing humans. But he was known throughout the vampire world as the God of War. And he was the one vampire who may have had more of an internal demon than his possessed brothers and sisters. There wasn’t a deadlier vampire in the world. And he had been sired by Maria.

One other disturbing fact weighted on his mind. His Master informed him that Jasper Whitlock had found his mate. Bella Swan. But Bella Swan was dead. Lilith was his. And he would not give her up. It was too late for her to become a vampire. She had accepted her demon with hate and violence and love in her heart. Anyone who felt as much as Bella would have made a formidable vampire. But as one of his children she was unstoppable. And she had barely reached the peak of her potential.

His Master told him not to hunt the vampires at this time. Defending his children though was another story. His Master always gave him free reign to defend what is his. It was the agreement that was reached over one hundred and fifty years ago. When Maria’s army came into his town. Attacked all their women and children. They prayed to God but God didn’t answer. His Master did. And no one, neither human nor vampire would take his children. If they tried, not even the God of War would survive.
