Chapter One
Peters' pov
Fuck my life... This shit gets so depressing. In my 100 plus years I had to have killed thousands of criminals. I take pride in getting rid of them from society, but fuck, seeing the shit that I come across, you'd think that I'd be cuttin' the numbers down on sex offenders, but at least 60% of my kills, are just that. Sick fuckers.
Maybe if Char were still alive we'd be cullin' em quicker but I'm just one vamp and I can only eat so much. As it is tonight I had to chow down four fuckers. I usually only feed three times a month and most of the time I average two per feed so right now I am all sloshy, any more and I think I'd gag. I couldn't let em live though 'no fuckin' way', those ass-holes had three girls tied up. All I am certain were under sixteen with one of the girls very close to death. Fuck, am I glad the Major is visitin' for a bit I am in need of company.
"Keep your mouth shut, turn around, and lean against the wall sweet tits do as you're told and I might let you keep that face pretty."
"What's the matter big boy, need that gun to do your work for ya. Not man enough to fight without a weapon. You tryin' to make up for your short cumin's."
"I'll show you whore. I don't need the gun.***Smack***You like it this way, you like it rough bitch."
Fuck I took off runnin' this chick just starts laughin'. She's either fuckin' crazy or has a death wish.
"Is that all you got c'mon you're a big boy. Fuckin' get this over with either fight like a man or shoot me already."
"Fuck you bitch you rough I'll play."
Shit...Shit I can hear the scuffle... I took to the roofs. As I get them in view and jump down Miss feisty has the gun aimed at big boy, he fuckin' towers over her tiny frame. She takes a quick glance my way but is focused on her target. She steps back two paces still aimin' at him looks right at me, arcs one brow with the sexiest devilish smirk.
"Hey sparkles, are you up for a feed or should I just shoot this walkin' sack of...Hmm, what are you big boy, A positive, O neg or are you one of those tasty rare steaks? Please say you're thirsty sparkles. It would be much cleaner if you play reaper"
Well fuck me... She has struck me dumb...Whacked me with the fuckwit stick ...What the fuck.
"Give my gun back whore, you won't ..."
My growl rips through me and I stalk forward. Dipshit finally realises I am here with them and her words must have registered with him on some level as he starts shakin' and babblin' his pleas.
"Too late fucker. You dare mark her by your hand; you dare try to take what is not yours to take from this angel"
I reached out and gently placed my cold hand to her swollen bruised cheek. Her eyes are guarded but she didn't shy away from my touch.
My other hand firmly has big boys throat holdin' him at arm's length. Angel still has the gun aimed at him.
"Angel you can lower the gun honey. He ain't goin' hurt you now no one is, you are safe now okay."
She blinks and looks me in the eye, my hand still on her Cheek, her now leanin' into my touch... Part of me wants to fuckin' purr...So not fuckin' appropriate right now, but she's so warm and soft and beautiful. I take a good look at her to see if she's okay but also to check for further injuries. A feral growl erupts through my chest as I take in her neck, shoulders and what I can see of her arms. She has the marks of the southern fuckin' wars and she is human. My rage is makin' me shake as I try to control my growlin' and I must have squeezed my hand around the fuckers neck too tight cause he's makin' strangled sounds and he has lost control of his bodily fluids judgin' from the horrid stench, his bowls too...
"Okay sparkles settle down cowboy. If you pop his head off, I may puke and pass out just bite and drink, it will calm you once you've fed."
Angel had placed the gun in her bag and has her hand on my chest rubbin' smoothly up and down my sternum, which is rather calmin', but I am pissed and I want to know who the fuck has scared her and now.
"Who did this to you angel? Who bit you?"
"Not know cowboy. You'll get your answers but you need to take care of him and calm down, it is a long story."
"I've already fed well, just before I got here. I can just snap his neck. Do you wanna turn around darlin' you really don't need to see this."
"Just drink, don't worry about me. I've witnessed worse and it will calm you down."
With that I pulled the fucker to my teeth keepin' my eyes on the angel in front of me. Her
eyes are locked with mine and she truly doesn't seem scared. What the fuck has this angel been through and witnessed that she has had a gun pulled on her, physically assaulted and can stand there and watch a vamp drain the attacker, yet she stands here and...Oh...Good ...Lord ...I...Smell...Her...Aroma ...Her arousal...Fuck me. I can't help the purr, fuck I wanna drop this fucker and drink from her and not her blood...God her sweet spot calls to be worshipped. If I could bottle that fragrance I'd make billions and call it, DIVINE. Ambrosia ain't got nothin' on her.
I dropped the body once he was drained. Eyes still locked with the angel, I walked to her cuppin' her face once again, she leaned into my palm.
"That feels so good, the cold is soothing"
"Darlin please tell me what happened to you"
"Mm ... Do you have a name vampgrowlsalot?"
"Sure AWA my name is Peter and you?"
"AWA?"
"Angel with attitude."
"My name is Bella."
"Just Bella?"
"Yep, just Bella. I have yet to find a sure name for myself and I don't figure I'll be around long enough to get used to one. I don't exactly have the connections you're kind does to arrange it. Christ I don't even have a clue which state I'm in right now."
"You're in Abilene Texas Bella. How is it that you don't know? How did you get here?"
"God this is embarrassing but...Um do you have a place we can go? It really is a long story and you are the first person that I have talked to in the week since I got away other than well, him."
She pointed to the body. Her eyes were startin' to well up. I pulled her in for a hug. Angel melted and let out a choked up cry. I figure that she doesn't like to show this side of her, she quickly pulled herself together turned away to dry her tears.
"So what do we do with him?"
"Well there's a dumpster just over there, I guess I'll just chuck him in and set fire to it. The body will burn enough to cover our tracks."
The body was quickly dumped and lit. I turned back to Bella and took a better look at her. Her blouse was ripped open but she had a black singlet under it and she had on black cargo pants that go to mid-calf. She had bites on her legs too. No shoes. Her hair was a mess, she was a mess and she was deadly pale and sweaty, way too thin and her eyes were sunken in and very dark. She has a large suit case on wheels with her. As I get closer I
Notice she is restin' her weight on the wall she looks extremely weak right now. I have no idea how she had the energy to get the upper hand on that fucker, none at all.
"C'mon sweetie let's get you home and comfy. I'll grab you some dinner on the way. What do you feel like havin'?"
"I'm okay"
"Pizza it is then"
"Peter, can you ... Do know many vampires?"
"I have a brother who is my sire, and his family and I know many nomads. Bella you will be safe with me they won't hurt you. Those I associate with are civilised and I am well respected among our kind"
"I'm not worried. Can I ... If I ...Um. Peter if I don't survive my injuries will you do me a favour?"
"What do you mean Bella? Where are you hurt? I can take you to the hospital. You're not bleedin'."
"Peter I am weak. I can barely stand at the moment. I am so tired and I can't go to the hospital it's not safe. Please I have to warn them she's coming and she has newborns"
"Fuck... Who warn who Bella?"
"Cullen's and a Major and his SIC. Mate for mate. Flesh for flesh. Ashes for ash..."
Bella dropped, luckily I had her steady by the shoulders; I picked her up and grabbed her bag. Fuck I gotta call Jasper; this is Bella, Bella Swan. The one they have been mourning. The reason to why Jasper needs a break from all of their emotions. Shit… fuck… Shit the reason Edward pulled a Romeo with the Volturi… fuck.
I raced to my truck, got Bella in chucked her bag in the back and sped home, my mind kept racin'. I need to get her food… fuck medical help. I don't know what's wrong other than the bites, bruises, lack of food. I gotta call Jasper.
"Major?"
"Hey fucker what's up?"
"Fuck Major, Jasper get your ass to my place, fuckin' fly. You know what get the whole family. Carlisle needs medical supplies. I don't... I don't know fuck... fuck..."
"Calm down soldier breath. I am at your place"
"Good I'm pullin' up. Call the family now, especially Carlisle"
I hung up the phone. Fuck I am panicin'. I don' know what's wrong other than what I can physically fuckin' see, but she doesn't look good at all.
"Peter, Calm down, your killin' me here. You got a human that doesn't need the whole fami…"
"Major, its Bella and she has been fuckin' tortured...Bites everywhere...Fuck, I don't know what else, but she's... Fuck just look at her"
Jaspers' pov
"Carlisle"
"Jasper. What can I do for you son?"
"Um look, I just a call from Peter. He is absolutely panicin' about somethin', he told me to get all of you here, and in his words fuckin' fly. You need to bring medical supplies, but he has no idea what kind so I'd say bring everythin' you can."
"Jasper what's going on?"
"I don't know but you know Peter, he doesn't panic. He's comin' down the drive now, so I'll call back when I get more details, but start gettin' every thin' ready."
"Okay son. We'll be on our way soon, they all heard you."
I went out the front to meet Peter and was hit with massive amounts of fuck knows. It was a hurricane love, devotion' grief, disgust and rage.
"Peter calm down, you're killin' me here. You got a human that doesn't need the whole fami…"
"Major it's Bella, and she has been fuckin' tortured, bites everywhere, fuck. I don't know what else, but she's... Fuck just look at her"
"What no, she's dead Peter"
"Major her name is Bella. No sure name, not safe. No hospitals, not fuckin' safe. Peter if I don't survive these injuries can you do me a favour?"
"Peter?"
"Peter I am weak. I can barely stand at the moment. I am so tired and I can't go to the hospital, it's not safe. Please I have to warn them she's coming and she has newborns"
"Fuck... Who? Warn who Bella?"
"Cullen's a Major and his SIC. Mate for mate. Flesh for flesh. Ashes for ash..."
I raced to the truck. "Oh god… no no no… What did she do to her? Bella… god I feel sick. I gotta call Carlisle back"
"Carl..." I couldn't hold back the sob and growls comin' from me or the rage.
"Son, what is wrong?"
"It's Bella"
"Jasper what are you talking about son? She's pa..."
"Jasper, stop growling and calm down"
"Carlisle it's Bella. God it's her, but she's bad. She's been tortured dad"
"What?"
"There are bites everywhere, but they sucked out the venom... God she looks so... I...Fuck. Dad, there everywhere and she's passed out, she doesn't smell like her... She looks almost dead dad. Hurry up and get here please"
"Jasper listen to me son, I need you to strip her and check for all injuries. Can you do that?"
"I don't know. I feel sick. How can someone do this? She's been dea... Gone for seven months dad."
"Jasper let me speak to the major. I need the military side of you right now to help Bella. That is my daughter and I don't want to lose her again"
"Carlisle I ..."
"I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FUCKING MAJOR NOW"
"Carlisle it's me"
"Major where is Bella now?"
"Front seat of the Generals truck"
"Right, move here as gently as possible to a bed"
"Done. Right now what?"
"Carefully remove all clothes and access all injuries and talk me through what you're seeing"
"Okay Isabella has a swollen and bruised left cheek. Busted bottom lip; I'm takin' her clothes off...Fuckin' Christ... Fuckers are goin' die... She has at least double my scars on her upper half alone. Stab wounds to her breast and cuts to most of her torso, all sealed by venom. Severe bruisin' on her ribs and right shoulder. I'd say she has broken ribs. Her legs are covered in bites, stab wounds and hand print fuckin' bruises on her fuckin' hips and bites in her inner thighs. Carlisle I can smell a male. I am puttin' the General on I can't ... I can't... My Bell..."
"It's okay you did good major thank you. Please stay with her. Bring jazz back if that helps and put the General on"
I couldn't take not even as the Major. If I let him take full control there would be a blood bath tonight. He even agreed with me that's our Bella on that bed. I am speechless. Fuckin' hell, I just can't think straight, too much is goin' through my head.
"General"
"Major?"
"Tell him she needs blood and fluids and she has lost weight. Too much weight, um...Monitors fuckin' IV fluids and a… Fuck...A …r...ra… Fuckin' fuck ... A rape kit"
At that, numerous growls of outrage where heard on both ends of the call. I didn't want to say it, let alone fuckin' think it. It was affectin' the General too. Peter and his animal loved her already, it was like his chest just ripped open. He knew as well as I did that there was the smell of a male vampire on her, faint but there. Add that to the prints on her hips and bites on her lower parts.
I helped Peter or actually the General, roll her over so we can gain access to her back half. The growlin' and emotions comin' from both of us are of protection of the highest level, and fuckin' fury. We both love this precious angel. So with Major and General out, Carlisle and the others need to proceed with caution.
"General quit growlin' at me. Bella is hurt and she needs to be accessed. Use that fuckin' rage when were tearin' the fuckers who did this apart"
Turnin' her over let Major out again and vicious growls erupted from both of us. She was bitten maimed and scared but written in scars scratched on her back was 'Mate for mate. Flesh for flesh. Ashes for ashes. And the family arrived and entered the room.
Carlisles' pov
My family is so torn apart. Each one of us holds ourselves with some level of guilt, remorse.
I know losing my son should have torn me apart and it has on some level, but Bella's death has affected each of us more so. She had such a kind heart and soul. We all loved, no love her and will
Always cherish her memory. A huge part of me is pissed with Edward and I guess that could be why I am torn more so over losing our Bella, more than him. He had a choice and made it selfishly. Not giving a damn about the rest of us, by first having had to choose to leave Bella, without saying goodbye to her at the risk of losing him. If I could have a do over, I'd let him walk and make sure my youngest daughter was safe. I would not have listened to him when he said Victoria was no threat to her.
Then he forced the Volturis' hand to end his life, putting the family at further risk because they found out that we had exposed ourselves to Bella.
Aro had personally called me to let me know of his demise, and the verbal vomit that Edward had spilled out to Bella to end the relationship. The family overheard the conversation. Things were already tense as Jasper had been in Major mode since hearing and coming back from checking for evidence of Bella's and Charlie's death. The house was burned the ground but he found Victoria's scent in the woods right by the house along with unknown scents of two others with her. Major tracked her scent along with one other to Seattle but the third had left in a car.
After Major heard of how Edward had ended things with Bella he let us know in no uncertain terms, that the fucker ought to be grateful the Volturi ended him because he got off too easy. A last feral growl and that ended all things vegetarian for Majors diet. I understood why Jasper and his inner animal chose to feed that way, he needs the extra strength to cope with the Cullen house hold emotional state as well as his own.
Jasper withdrew after leaving forks, wouldn't talk to anyone except Peter. Peter had lost Charlotte eleven months before we lost our Bella, and I guess they could bounce off each other with a common loss. To me it seemed as though Jasper had lost his soul mate. He wouldn't function until we heard the news report announcing the fire at the Swan residence, where Forks beloved the Chief Swan and his loving nineteen year old daughter Isabella were deceased. Jasper took off straight out of his bedroom window.
Alice left shortly after Jaspers change in diet. He was adamant that he would not be changing it with or without her approval. Major told her very bluntly that a lot was changing where he was concerned. He calling her out on the fact that she lied about them being mated. He had said he had known of her lie from the get go but he was content and happy living peacefully with her as a companion, but was fed up with her controlling every aspect of his life down to the brand of underwear he was to wear. So along with a divorce, he was also deciding to go commando from now on.
I was pulled from my musing when my cell rang, and speak of the devil it was Jasper. I was not expecting to hear from him as he just left an hour ago for a stay at Peter's. We moved close to him so Jasper could help him with his loss.
"Carlisle"
"Jasper, what can I do for you son?"
"Um look, I just a call from Peter. He is absolutely panicin' about somethin'. He told me to get all of you here and in his words, fuckin' fly. You need to bring medical supplies but he has no idea what kind so I'd say bring everythin' you can"
"Jasper what's going on?"
"I don't know, but you know Peter he doesn't panic. He's comin' down the drive now so I'll call back when I get more details but start get every thin' ready"
"Okay son, we'll be on our way soon, they all heard you"
I was a little stumped by this call but didn't have time to think much on it, obviously a human was badly injured or sick that Peter cared for, which was strange as he doesn't associate with any. So I gathered everything I had pain meds antibiotics vaccines IV supplies and three of each types of blood along with bandages and what not. I was starting the car as I got another call from Jasper.
"Carl..." Jasper tried to say my name but was a broken sob, my chest clenched.
"Son, what is wrong?"
"It's Bella" No what on earth is he talking about.
"Jasper what are you talking about son? She's pa..." I didn't get to finish as he let out a pained, frustrated growl.
"Jasper, stop growling and calm down"
"Carlisle it's Bella. God it's her but she's bad she's been tortured dad"
"What?" okay think, she's alive that registered but tortured...Fuck no...
"There are bites everywhere but they sucked out the venom... god she looks so... I...fuck dad there everywhere and she's passed out she doesn't smell like her... she looks almost dead dad hurry up and get here please"
Jasper was losing it or was really already lost and the doctor in me took over I needed answers as to what was wrong with my daughter, what her condition was. I have to stay in doctor mode so I can work first, break down later. She's alive. I was trying to concentrate on what I needed between Esme, Rose and Em in the car obviously hearing the whole conversation there were mix of roars and cries including my own constant growl rumbling in my chest.
"Jasper listen to me son, I need you to strip her and check for all injuries can you do that?"
"I don't know. I feel sick how can someone do this? She's been dea... gone for seven months dad."
"Jasper let speak to the major I need the military side of you right know to help Bella, that is my daughter and I don't want to lose her again"
"Carlisle I ..."
"I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FUCKING MAJOR NOW" Yeah I kind of lost it but that's my little that I had believed was dead for seven fucking months I will not lose her again.
"Carlisle It's me" Never been so glad to hear from the Major, only a man with a death wish dares call him forth but I needed him now to take action.
"Major where is Bella now?
"Front seat of the Generals truck"
"Right, move here as gently as possible to a bed" I could hear him shuffling and moving.
"Done, right now what?"
"Carefully remove all clothes and access all injuries and talk me through what you're seeing"
"Okay Bella has a swollen and bruised left cheek, busted bottom lip, I'm takin' her clothes off...Fuckin' Christ, fuckers are goin' to die... She has at least double my scars on her upper half alone, stab wounds to her breast and cuts to the majority of her torso, all sealed by venom. Severe bruisin' on her ribs and right shoulder, I'd say she has broken ribs. Her legs are covered in bites, stab wounds hand print fuckin' bruises on her fuckin' hips and bites in her inner thighs. Carlisle I can smell a male. I am puttin' the General on, I can't ... I can't my... Bell"
Rose and Em let out feral growls hearing this as Esme choked out sobs. I was concentrating on keeping to doctor mode and not father. I needed to keep my head together. One thing that struck was that for the Major to be losing it like this, it must be bad. I mean the bloke did a bit of the torture game himself for a century on other vampires. Another thing is that I think I was talking to the Major and Jasper as one, I don't think this has ever happened before with him.
"It's okay you did good Major, thank you please stay with her. Bring Jasper back if that helps and put the General on"
"General"
"Major?"
The phone was passed to Peter or the General as he was at the moment probably due to Jasper projecting.
"General is there anything further you can tell me? Is she bleeding at all?"
"No. Her skin is very pale; sweaty um she is so thin. I heard her being attacked by some guy but she fought him off and managed to get his gun and turn it on him then I showed up. I didn't notice anythin' wrong at first I was in shock cause she knew what I was then I noticed the marks on her face and grabbed him and then I saw the scars and..."
"Tell him she needs blood and fluids and she has lost weight too much um...Monitors fuckin' IV fluids and a fuck...A... R...Ra... Fuckin' fuck ... a rape kit" came Jaspers voice cutting Peter off.
I was entering Peter's drive way so I let him know we'd be there in a minute and hung up.
Whilst pulling up and gathering the supplies I advised my family to assume a submissive stance, head and eyes lowered and if needed on our knees. I was correct in my assumption as the Major would kill anyone who he deemed to be a threat to Bella and as a sire to his second in command {SIC} Peter will protect what the Major protects with his life. We entered the room submissively and the Major and the General where crouched and ready to attack roaring a warning at us, I automatically dropped to my knees as did the three behind me and concentrated on only feeling love trust and concern.
"Major, permission to speak"
"Speak Dr Cullen"
"Major I need to check Bella; you know I mean her no harm. I love her"
"I can feel you love my mate in a fatherly manner. You may come see to her but everyone else
leaves. My mate has suffered enough I don't wish for her privacy to be violated any further than it has been already"
Well that shocked me 'mate' well that explains a lot about his actions since leaving forks I guess.
"Very well I agree with you Major. Esme, Rose, Em will you please wait down in the family room while I examine Bella, actually Esme can you bring a large bowl of warm water, Rose some towels would be great so I can clean her up a bit. Just leave them outside the door."
"Not needed I will bathe her once you check her. Now please get to work doctor I am extremely on edge not knowing if my Isabella is in danger of injuries or illness I cannot see myself and the fact that the ones I do see are horrendous in nature and caused my someone I do not yet have in my grasp I am teetering on line you don't wish for me to cross so get to work now"
And that I did.
