Chapter 13: The Final Revenge, And Scene
The next morning, I woke up bright and early with only two things on my mind. The first thing on my mind was my final revenge. The second thing on my mind was finally being able to move on and let bygones be bygones. I had almost had my complete fill of revenge. But there was just that one last order of business that I had to take care of first.
Getting out of bed, I quickly got dressed and then made two phone calls. One call was to Jake and the other was to Edward. Both calls consisted of asking them to meet me at the treaty line. Jake was, of course, for back up because I now refused to be alone with Edward for any reason at all. Plus, I didn't know if I would need a witness or not. I could not be too sure when it came to Edward anymore.
God only knows what Edward would say or do when I dropped the final revenge bomb on him. For all I knew, he'd lie and tell everyone I did something else when I didn't. I just simply didn't trust him anymore. Period. He had lost most of my trust when I'd found out everything was a lie and then the rest of my trust not too long after that when he tattled on me to my dad like a freaking petulant child.
After this was finally all over with he would be to me exactly what he should have always been from the get go...dead to me. It had been a very long time coming and it was extremely overdue. But better late than never at all, right? Or at least I'm sure that that's what everyone is used to saying in situations kind of like this one.
I went downstairs to grab a pop tart and then left a note for Charlie telling him that I was going to see Jake. Which honestly was not a complete lie. I really was going to see Jake. And after revealing my final revenge I would be spending the rest of the day with him. So, yeah, I was in the clear when it came to the lying thing because I didn't put anything in that note that couldn't be proven to be true.
After putting the note somewhere that Charlie would see it, I left the house quickly. I hoped that I'd make it to the treaty line before they both got there. I could only imagine how it'd be when I got there if they were both already there.
I could easily imagine all of the possibilities, and none of them were good ones.
~TNBTR~
I just didn't seem to have luck on my side. Thanks to my ancient truck, by time I arrived at the treaty line they were both already there. I had a feeling that it would end up that way. I just hoped it wouldn't be how I imagined that it would. Fingers crossed!
"Why are we both here?" Jacob asked, glaring at Edward and looking curiously at me as I got out of my truck and walked over to him.
"I called you here for back up," I answered, leaning up on my tiptoes to press a simple kiss against his lips.
I couldn't stop the smile that took over when I heard Edward growl from behind me. The satisfaction that coursed through me when ever he growled at us kissing would never get old.
Jacob kissed me back briefly before pulling away. "Back up for what?"
"I promised that I was done with my active revenge," I reminded him. "And I meant it."
"But you said you still had one more thing up your sleeve?"
I nodded my head. "Yes, my inactive revenge."
"Inactive?"
"Words, no actions."
"Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be worse than anything else?" he asked curiously with a little bit of fear evident in his eyes.
My lips lifted up into a wide grin. "Because it is."
With that said, I turned to grin even wider at Edward.
"As I am sure that you can tell by now, I'm officially done wasting anymore of my time on you," I said, glaring at him.
"Yet you're here," he replied, glaring right back at me which soon turned into a smirk.
I couldn't wait to wipe that damn smirk off his face.
I took a step closer to him. I could feel Jacob's warmth and knew that he wasn't taking any chances of me getting too close. He stayed practically glued to my back the whole time. Every step I took, he took as well. It gave me some comfort that until then I hadn't even realized that I needed.
"What's your final revenge?" Edward asked, making a mockery of it.
He clearly underestimated just how much I liked to think about things.
"You joke now," I told him as I crossed my arms. "Go ahead, joke away. It won't last long."
Edward raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, your days are numbered now." I smirked.
"Numbered?"
I shook my head yes.
"You have not forgotten already, have you?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow curiously.
"Forgotten what?"
I chuckled, shaking my head. "Apparently you have."
"Would you mind getting to the point?"
"Oh, I'll get to the point alright," I thought to myself.
This was going to be so great.
"The Volturi," I stated bluntly.
Edward frowned.
"How exactly are they your final revenge?" he asked me in confusion.
I grinned. "You said it yourself that they do not like to be lied to."
The look on Edward's face when he realized where I was going with my train of thought was priceless.
Just for the added pleasure, I decided to go ahead and spell it out for him.
"When they find out that I lived a normal human life, they won't be very happy with you. They will feel extremely betrayed, lied too...you won't stand a chance in hell against them."
I laughed as I smiled at him to the point where my cheeks started to hurt.
"Bella..."
"Like you said, vampire time is different than human time." I shrugged my shoulders. "It could be hundreds of years before they come check up on you. But when they do decide to check on you...well, I obviously won't be there with you."
"Bella...please..." Edward started to damn near beg, which was definitely not something I ever imagined I'd hear him resort to in a million years.
I cut him off.
"My, oh, my look at how the tables have turned." I laughed. "I suggest that you enjoy the rest of your life while you still can, Edward," I told him as if I even cared at all. "Alice, too," I added as an afterthought. "I'm not sure about the others, though, since they weren't actually there with us in Volterra. But maybe just to be safe they should enjoy theirs, too."
I did actually sort of care about the rest of them...just a little bit. But that little bit was truly a very little bit.
"Bella, this is crazy! Of all the things...this?"
I shook my head and shrugged nonchalantly.
"In a way, you did this in your own since you're the one who agreed to turn me in front of Aro and the rest of the Volturi," I pointed out to him. "Having your life controlled is a bitch, isn't it?" I asked him in an all but kind tone. "Enjoy your lives. 'Cause they're most definitely ending some time after mine." I smiled gleefully at him. "Oh, and you have fun with that."
With that said, I turned and walked away. I was officially leaving my past behind me and looking forward at my future with Jacob and the pack that was sure to be right ahead of me.
There you have it! The finale of There's Nothing Better Than Revenge. I hope you all enjoyed the ending as much as the rest of the story.
Thoughts? Review please and let me know how the chapter/ending were! I really do love reading all of your thoughts!
