Chapter 12
Fusedtwilight: Thanks to animegirlkiki for betaing, thanks to everyone who reviwed.
This chapter is really light compared to the last chapter, a real fuzzy moment I think you all will enjoy.
Jack P.O.V
Snow fell in Forks in the early days of November.
It was the twelfth and things had been quit for the most part. My desire for life force was still strong. When we hunt a lot of the time I drain my prey of their lives instead of their blood. Life force was a good substitute for blood. I did not need blood as long as I had a supply of life force.
My eyes never blackened. Carlisle thought the blood I drank before was kept revitalized by the life force which kept me fed constantly. Jasper and the others were trying to wean me of life force, easier said than done.
I was in my room feeding the butterflies I caught. I rubbed some salt water on my hand and opened the cage and put my hand in. I held still as a statue, in a few minutes they landed on my hand and began to soak up the salt water with they’re proboscis.
If you stand still, very still and you’re lucky a butterfly might land on you. But if you move just a little they will fly away. They do it to get the sweat on your skin. They love salt you see, they will eat off a piece of shit or rotten fruit to get it.
I watched as they fed from my hand, the feeling of their wings fluttering and their proboscis tickling my flesh made me smile. I have loved butterflies since I was a kid. My mom thought it was weird I liked them; she said it made me seem gay.
Yes my mother had no problem what so ever making me feel bad or putting me down, the worst part was she wasn’t being mean about it, or malicious. She just said shit that hurt me. It’s one thing to hear someone else put you down, but your mother? That’s a whole new level of fucked up.
Feeling depressed I pulled my hand out and closed the cage. I hated this, every time I thought about her I got in a foul mood. The police were calling off the search for me back home. After they sifted through what was left of the house they ruled it was a result of mom drinking. All the alcohol they found in the wreckage and the neighbors telling them how much of a drunk she was helped them think she just got drunk and started a fire. Last I saw on CNN they were starting to wonder if mom had killed me hidden my body and in a state of guilt killed herself. God I hate the news. A few of the family had been on the T.V. Grandma going on how mom was troubled and I should have been taken from her a long time ago.
Yeah right, if the bitch felt that strongly about it she would have taken me in years ago. Stupid bible thumping hypocritical bitch. Nothing but a greedy envious old spinster who had nothing better to do then put her nose in other people’s business. All those years her daughter was drinking and getting into trouble and she never once tried to get me away from her, she only talked to me when she wanted to know what mom was up to.
Damn, I really need to stop thinking about my old human family; all it was going to do was piss me off.
I wish I could be more like a butterfly. They start out as caterpillars and are so slow and dull, and then they transform into something beautiful and shed its old life to begin anew. It evolves into something greater then what it was before, finding a better purpose in life.
Okay I admit it probably is a little girly for a dude to like butterflies, but is it girly for a guy to like cats? It got me into a few fights in school. The bullies thought a kid who liked butterflies was a wimpy kid, I showed them.
The door opened and Alice walked in dressed to impress. She held a suit in her hand which she laid on my bed.
“Damn, what’s the occasion?” I asked.
“That’s a dollar in the swear jar,” she chastised.
“Lady the first word I spoke was damn; you really think you can break me of that?”
“Sir, I have broken the wills of people with much stronger wills then you.” she winked at me with a smile. “Now get dressed, don’t want to be late.”
“What for?”
“Your party silly.”
“….What party?”
“You’re welcome to the family party silly.”
“What welcome to the family party?” I asked.
“The secret welcome to the family party I have been planning for months now that I had everyone keep secret from you so it would be a surprise.”
“And you’re telling me this because?” it does kind of defeat the purpose to tell me what she has planned.
“Because I know you are in emo mode and want to stay in your fortress of solitude and I have to sweet talk you to go to it.”
“Go to it? Where are we having it?” I asked.
“A little cabin Emmett and Rose found outside of Forks. I should also tell you we invited a few friends from over seas.”
“Really? Who?” I remember Jasper telling me of a few covens overseas.
“Well the Alaskan coven of course. Plus the Irish coven, the Amazon coven, the Egyptian coven, Peter, and Charlotte. Oh and some of the wolves too.”
“Why are they there?”
“Well Collin wanted to come as a thank you for saving his life; Seth wanted to come because he likes you, Jake for Nessie of course…..”
“What?”
“Huh?”
“Why did you trail off like that?” I asked.
“Well, Sam and some of his wolves will be there. They wanted to show how grateful they are for you saving Collin, but they also don’t like the thought of their friends being around so many vampires.”
“Prejudiced bastards,” I said.
“Now, now, you can’t expect generations of amnesty to disappear overnight,” she said.
“Well I don’t want to go.”
“Why not? It’s your time to shine. I know you love attention.”
“Like you said, I am in emo mode.”
I laid my head on my arms and ignored her. I heard her sigh and begin to tap her foot. “Look Bella jr, people have traveled all across the world just to come meet you, you need to come meet them.”
“Well maybe you should have thought of that before you went and planned a party behind my back. Besides why do I want to be around a bunch of human eating pricks?”
“I thought you might say that.” I heard her reach into her purse and grab something. “Oh well I guess I’ll have to return these to Walmart. Bayonetta, Prototype, infamous, Assassin’s creed 2, uncharted: Among thieves... too bad.”
I turned around and sure enough she was holding the games I have been waiting to play. “Are you blackmailing me?”
“Yep, come with and you get them. Don’t and they go back.”
“What makes you think I can be bribed?”
“Because I know Jasper took away your games because of your potty mouth. Maybe if you learned some manners this wouldn’t have happened. Think you can tolerate a few human eating pricks long enough for these?” she waved the games in front of me.
I followed them with my eyes, like when a hypnotist uses a pendant to hypnotize you. I should say no, I was not so easily tempted….but sadly I was very weak.
“Okay fine.” I grumbled. I was a sneaky bastard though, my mother may have been a poor role model but she taught me to be clever.
I went to grab the games. “Not until after the party,” she said putting them back in her purse. “I see the future remember, I know what you planned.”
I growled at her and went to go put my suit on. She gave me some privacy and waited outside while I changed. When I was done I went and gave the butterflies some salt water. “We’ll see you guys later.”
Yes I talk to them sometimes. Butterflies make good listeners. They’re not like cats who expect you to pet them or dogs who expect a treat.
We left the house and we drove, it was a quiet drive. Lady Gaga was playing bad romance. God I love that chick. She can sing so good it makes up for her horrible fashion sense. I mean some of her get ups were cool; others were a little over done.
We drove away from Forks. Deeper and deeper into the woods. After an hour we turned off the main road and went on a small one leading into the woods. After fifteen minutes we pulled up to a cabin.
The cabin was big and fancy looking. Like one of those cabins rich people rent and hardly ever use. (Assholes, we’re in a recession, maybe if you spent you’re money wisely this wouldn’t have happened.) It was two stories and from the angel I saw a patio out back.
Paper lanterns were hung placed in two lines leading to the front door, typical of Alice. We got out and as we walked down the lantern filled path I saw butterflies on the paper lanterns.
I could hear people talking; I smelled vampires and wolves in the air. My new born instincts were going crazy, all the vampire scents in the air made me very nervous. Vampires were supposed to be a solitary group, our covens usually only two to three to maybe four. The Cullens and Alaskan vampires are an exception thanks to the whole drinking animal blood thing. It helped us ground ourselves, helped us keep whatever humanity we had left.
The only coven I knew that was bigger than ours were those Italian dudes Carlisle and the others mentioned. Carlisle said they are so large because some chick has a power that binds them and they have enough connections that allow them to get the humans they need to sustain themselves.
I thought it was a lot like Blade (The movie, not the comic) a little cliché I thought. A group of vampires having connections to the human world and using it to control vampires and get the food they need. Fucking rich vampire snobs. Luckily I’m one of the vampires who are not snobs. (Except for Rosalie)
We walked in and the noise died down. I did a quick scan of the room and saw who the other covens were at once. All of them had red eyes. A sign some poor bastard went and became their lunch.
I saw the wolves either huddled together or mixed with the golden eyed vamps. I don’t know why but I expected the red eyed vamps to be on one side of the room while the wolves would be on the other and the two groups would be glaring at one another. That old idea of werewolves and vampires being rivals.
Damn underworld.
I wonder why people think werewolves and vampires are rivals? I mean what do they fight over? Not food. Werewolves eat human food and if they want animals, they don’t need to feast on blood or raw flesh. You’d think werewolves would have a better rep seeing how they protect humans from us.
Some of the wolves shot the red eyed vamps suspicious or nervous looks. The red eyed vamps just ignored them.
“Jack!” a voice squealed.
Something small came shooting at me. It was Nessie.
“Hey kiddo.”
She waited for me to kneel down so she could hug me; she only reached my knees after all.
Me and Nessie have gotten closer. Ever since those days we spent planning our Halloween costumes. Then when she called me brother…it really touched me. I mean I didn’t have any other siblings from my human life. It was weird. I didn’t really get along with other kids when I was growing up, but Nessie and I just clicked.
“I’m glad you’re here, I have been showing everyone my needle.” she showed me the little sister needle we made for her costume. She has had a hold of that thing since Halloween. It was fine for then, but seeing how attached she was to that damn thing was really creeping me out.
Edward and Bella came up with the other Cullens. They did not look happy. “I blame you for what you have done to my daughter. Thanks to you she now carries a dangerous object like it was a teddy bear,” Edward said.
“But daddy, it’s so much easier to draw blood now, no more stains on my shirt.” Nessie smiled.
Edward and Bella sighed. “Sorry about all this,” Esme said hugging me. “But Alice can’t be stopped.”
“Darn right,” Alice said.
I took in the room. A few tables lined with food for the wolves and Nessie. Streamers and confetti were littered everywhere. A nice warm fire blazed in the fire place, casting a nice warm glow. More paper lanterns with butterflies pictures littered the room. I heard the sound of flapping and saw there were nets with live butterflies of all kinds of shapes on the ceiling.
I knew right away some of those breeds were not native to this area. How did Alice find them?
“She went out of state to find them,” Edward said.
“Thank you Alice! They’re amazing!” I said excitedly.
“Oh now you’re happy you came.” she laughed.
As we walked around I saw the confetti was shaped like (you guessed it) butterflies. They let some of the others come and say high. Seth and Collin were all smiles and laughs. Brady stood with them, he wasn’t exactly cheerful, but he wasn’t glaring at me, though he did watch with cool eyes.
Sam came up to me flanked by his two bitches. (A.K.A Paul and Jared) He actually shook my hand and said thanks for saving Collin. The other wolves in his pack wanted to come but with Jake’s pack being here (Yes Embry, Leah and Quil were here too) someone needed to keep an eye on La Push.
I had to wonder if they (Quil, Leah and Embry) were here because they were the most experienced and if shit did happen they had a better chance of fighting, or if they were just here to have a good time.
Then they introduced me to the other vamps. The Irish coven, Maggie a small girl of Alice’s size with long curly red hair, Siobhan who despite her large body moved very gracefully and her mate, the equally large Liam.
Siobhan wasn’t fat or muscular; she was just really tall for a woman. She wasn’t skinny, but I am not implying she is fat, far from it. Maybe it is how tall she is, but she can be so intimidating and yet move so gracefully at the same time.
Liam was tall but he was really muscular. Strong arms, broad shoulders. Like Emmett he was scary in a way you knew he was stronger then you and if he wanted could kick the shit out of you.
Maggie seemed so much smaller when she was next to them. Hell they made everyone but Emmett and the wolves seem small. Her hair was crimson like fresh spilled blood, when it was compared to her skin it seemed to glow, adding to the illusion it was blood. Her skin complexion also made her eyes seem a brighter red. Obviously she was one of those Irish people who had a pale complexion before she was a vampire; I noticed her skin seemed whiter than most of ours.
Next was the Egyptian coven. Benjamin, his woman Tia, Amun and his mate Kebi.
Amun was the leader, he looked like an Egyptian. Dark hair, light tan skin that must have been darker before he lost blood. He had a stern face and I immediately did not like him. Something told me he was one of those guys who expected to be obeyed, who ran things with an iron fist.
His mate Kebi stood behind him, only stepping forward and bowing her head when introduced. Obviously Amun wore the pants in the relationship and she was more than happy to have it like that. Like her mate she too had a tan skin complexion and a look of a middle easterner.
Benjamin had lighter skin then his coven mates; I had to wonder if maybe one of his parents were white. Despite popular belief not all middle easterners are tan. Some actually have a natural white completion. His hair was black so I have to lean to him being the whiter Middle East. Like Seth he had a special aura of happiness and positive feelings. I instantly disliked him on principle. I don’t hate the guy, he seems really cool, especially compared to Amun, but I have an aversion to happy people. One more thing, he can control the elements.
That’s right, earth, wind, fire, water. He can actually control and manipulate those elements, like on the nickelodeon show Avatar: Last Airbender. That gave him a few brownie points in my book, made it so I could actually bear to be around him enough to listen to him describe his power.
His mate Tia had tan skin, black hair. Quiet, but unlike Kebi she didn’t have a subdued feeling about her. She was simply a quiet girl who would speak when she had something to say. I liked that. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying women are talkative; I just like a woman who doesn’t think she should talk because she has to. Hell no one should speak if they don’t want to. Mom always said a real woman speak not when spoken to, but when she is damn good a ready. Crap thinking about mom again, not good.
Moving on to the Amazon coven. They stuck out. Like the name suggests they were an all female group. When I say they stuck out I mean just from one look you knew they were wild vampires with a capital W. The way they dressed, the way they moved, quick, jerky and very animal like. Even their clothes gave them a wild edge.
Zafrina was the leader. She was tall, but not as tall as Siobhan. She had nice long legs; she had Carmel colored skin with long black hair. Nessie was real happy to see her. Zafrina and her sisters were impressed by Nessies needle, though they thought it was pointless. I tried to explain it but since they do not know what technology is it was pointless.
Senna and Kachiri were the other Amazons. But they didn’t talk too much; I did notice they moved in perfect synchronization. Like how the wolves sometimes did. I wonder if they have a similar mind link?
One thing they all had in common was all three of them were smoking hot. They make a younger Angela Jolie look plain. They’re exotic looks only helped add to they’re beauty. Plus Zafrina had a nice rack.
I went up to Jasper who was smiling gently at me. “Having fun?”
“You blonde southern hick prick, you knew and you didn’t tell me?” I growled.
He laughed and ruffled my hair. “Have fun, you’re so dark and gloomy most of the time, plus it is good for you to meet new people.”
“What makes you think I want to meet a bunch of human eating jerk of-”
He covered my mouth with hand. “They can hear you, you know?”
“Hem hi bovered?” I said pointing to my face.
He took his hand off my mouth and sighed. Feeling bad that I was being an ungrateful prick after all the trouble everyone went through to make this for me I surprised the holy hell out of him when I leaned in and hugged him.
“Thanks Jasper…I really do appreciate it.”
I felt the tension leave his body and he hugged me back. I felt my eyes begin to burn, a sign if I was human there would be tears in my eyes. A click and a flash made us pull apart and look at what the noise was. Alice stood there with a digital camera in her hand. We both glared at her.
“What? It’s my god given right as a wife and a mother.”
I smiled. I felt so right, so welcome. Was this the feeling of family? Was this acceptance? Was this the bond that allowed the Cullens to be together all these years? Was this what it was like to be a part of that bond?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later we we’re all talking. I was watching as Benjamin showed me his power, he had a marble floating between his hands, I watched amazed as the wind he manipulated made it go round and round like a mini-planet.
“That’s amazing, so you can manipulate all the elements?” I asked.
“Well the four, earth, air, fire, and water,” he said.
“Which element is the easiest and which is the hardest to control?” I asked.
He thought for a moment. “Well air and water are the easiest, but I think I have to say air because there is so much of it, I have to be near water to control it. I want to say earth is the hardest but actually fire has to be the hardest. If I am near fire I can manipulate it, like water. I have been working on making it by speeding up the air molecules but I still need a lot of practice.”
“Of course he’ll do it,” Tia said. “He spends so much time practicing he hardly ever has time for me anymore.”
“Oh Tia, you’ll always come first,” he said hugging her.
I felt a pang of envy. I was one of the select few in this room who didn’t have a mate. And chances were I would remain single the rest of my days, unless I either find a female vampire my age or an older she vamp who has a thing for really young vampires.
I tried not to think of the whole stuck as a twelve year old thing. But every time I saw Jasper and Alice, Edward and Bella, Carlisle and Esme, Emmett and Rose, hell even Nessie and Jake. I was reminded there was no place for a boy in the world of love.
“So you remembered our anniversary?” Tia asked.
“Of course I did.” he gave her a million dollar smile.
Maggie sneezed, but you could obviously hear her say “Bullshit.”
Benjamin glared at Maggie. “You forgot our anniversary?” Tia hissed.
The love and affection that had been in his eyes were replaced by fear and intimidation. I knew right then and there he was pussy whipped. One of those guys wound so tightly around their womans finger when she flexes he bends.
“No Tia my love I just…let it slip my mind.”
“Bending the truth,” Maggie said.
“Will you shut up!” he hissed at her.
“What the hell are you guys talking about?” I asked.
“I have the power to detect lies,” Maggie said with a sweet smile. “Every time someone lies I instantly know.”
“Wow, that must be really useful…so if I lie you know?”
“Yep.”
“Well in that case, your ass is fat, your feet are like a mans, your hair is not like red silk, your skin is like spoiled milk and you have the ugliest smile I have ever seen.”
The room went instantly silent. Everyone had heard what I had said. The room was full of tension, they were waiting to see what would happen next. Maggie let out a loud gentle laugh.
“Ye are a real flatterer lad.”
She kissed me on the cheek and I felt a deep heat spread over my body from where she kissed me. Had I had any blood in me I would be beat red right now.
“Hey Carlisle you were right honesty is the key to a good relationship,” Emmett said with a smile. He turned to Rose. “Babe, you are loud obnoxious and sometimes I would love nothing more than to have you go mute but I love you any way.”
Rose punched him in the gut. “Moron, he was lying! Maggie knew that, remember her power?”
“Oh yeah….uh oh.”
“So what can you do lad? I hear you have a power as well,” Maggie said.
I tore my eyes from Emmett as he tried to apologize to Rose. He really wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box. “Yeah I have a power,” I said.
I saw some of the Cullens, Alaskans, and wolves tense a little, obviously no one had told about my power. I smiled at her and grabbed the red rose she had behind her ear. I held it gently in my hands for everyone to see. I pushed my power into the rose and began to draw the life from it. I heard the vampires in the room let out a hiss of surprise as the rose began to blacken and wither.
“My god!” she said her eyes wide.
I smiled. I closed my hand and felt the dried up rose break a little, I began to push power back into it and felt the life return to it and repair the damage. I opened my palm and showed her the newly formed rose.
I gently put it back behind her ear; I saw how tense she got when my fingers touched her ear. Had she a beating heart it would be beating a hundred miles per hour right now.
“That’s my power. I absorb the animating force of all living things, vampire, human, werewolf, plant, animal, I suck it up leaving my victim nothing but dust. If I want I can also give what I take to heal others.”
“So that’s how Jasper got rid of his scars, I tried to ask how he did it but he wouldn’t say.”
“Yeah I did that,” I said.
“You said vampires are affected to, does that mean you can drain us as well?” Amun asked.
“Yep.”
“And who was the unfortunate victim?”
“Amun,” Benjamin said.
“Some vamps came through causing a ruckus. It was me or them, I chose me.”
My voice was cold and empty. Truth was I hadn’t thought about the vamp I had killed. The second victim of my power and I did not know his name. I tried thinking about him now and all I felt was the pleasure of the memory of draining him. I tried to feel remorse for killing him, but all I felt was nothing.
After that not many of the vampires wanted to be around me. I was wishing I had kept my mouth shut. Maybe it was the display of power, maybe it was how cold I was when I told them I didn’t care about the vamp I killed. Vamps do have strong animal instincts, and a smart animal stays away from something dangerous, like me.
It was when Jasper called everyone’s attention things took a better note. “Excuse me everyone.” he waited till everyone was looking at him. “First I would like to thank all of you for coming. We all really appreciate you taking time to visit us to celebrate us adding a new member to our family.”
He motioned for me to join him. Alice stood by his side, smiling at me and I smiled back. I noticed Jasper had a small box in his left hand and a yellow envelop in his right.
I stood next to him and he gave me a proud smile. “Jack, I know our meeting was…unfortunate.”
Yeah, you fucking bit me. But the wolves weren’t supposed to know that. I am sure the red eyes didn’t know either, what is the point of having a secret if you tell a whole shit load of people. I mean it’s not like the red eyes and the wolves are going to be facebook buddies or anything but still, secrets have a way of getting out once you tell people.
“But I do not regret meeting you that day. There have been many bumps on the road, you have been through more pain and heart ache then anyone your age should experience. But it has made you strong, you have overcome everything and last month you showed courage and integrity that our family stands for.”
“You’re a life saver!” Collin called out.
“Which is why, we have decided to have a formal welcome to the family party. And to give you this.” he opened the box and I saw in the red velvet silk was a ring.
The Cullens all wear a special article that bears the crest of the Cullen clan. Edward Jasper and Emmett wore leather cuffs, Carlisle wears a silver ring on his left hand, Esme wears a silver bracelet, Rose has a large pendant, Alice has a chocker like necklace, Bella too has a ring that is red and gold and Nessie has a pair of earrings that are red like her mother’s ring that add to the red in her hair.
The ring Jasper was giving me was similar to Carlisle’s. It was silver but attached to the sides were a pair of wings, two on each side. A large pair at the top and a smaller pair on the bottom. The wings were golden and it was obviously meant to look like a mature butterfly.
I reached a hand (that I made my best to make sure did not shake) into the box and picked it up and felt it between my fingers.
“Jasper, thanks.” I rand my fingers over the wings, feeling the groves that gave them the shape and texture of a butterflies’ wing.
“There is more,” Alice said, she was just brimming with excitement; you didn’t have to be empathic to feel it.
Jasper handed me the envelop. For a second I thought I sensed some nervousness from him, but I wasn’t sure. Jasper is a master of emotions after all. He doesn’t need his power to hide his own emotions.
I took the envelope and opened it. I pulled out a few documents and my eyes bugged out of my sockets when I read them.
The words Jack Alexander Whitlock was printed in gold letters.
“Jasper? What is this?” I asked.
“Well as you know when we move around some of us like to change our last names, sometimes we keep Cullen, some of us keep our last names, like how now Jasper and Rose share the name Hale, or sometimes Emmett and Edward are McCarty,” Alice said. “Well when we move, we planed on having you have Jaspers last name; we were going to say you and him are brothers.”
“You want me to share your last name?” I asked Jasper.
“Yes, I would like to say you are my son to the human public but the whole age difference thing kind of puts a stop to that idea.”
I felt my eyes burning so bad, I thank god he took away our ability to cry, and I would be a fucking mess right now. I could feel my face quivering, my eyes no longer leak tears but my face still goes through the motions.
“Look on the back of your ring,” he said.
I turned the ring around, on the back of the ring was an inscription. Jack Alexander Whitlock Cullen. And below that was another inscription. I still ain’t bothered.
I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. I cried into his chest, but no tears came out. I felt a wave of clam and ease hit me, I was glad he was helping me compose myself. Just because I was stuck as a twelve year old doesn’t mean I have to act like it.
“Thank you,” I said.
I pulled back and put the ring on my finger, it fit perfectly. “Welcome to the family Jack.”
Alice broke into a squeal and gave me a big hug. One by one the Cullens gave me hugs as did the Alaskan coven. Many of the wolves and vampires just congratulated me; a few actually shook my hand. I wasn’t bothered, I could care less if they feared me or not, tonight was the most perfect night of my life.
Nope, I am not bothered, not bothered at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another hour later and I was feeling brave. I was talking to Zafrina and telling her a sob story.
“And that is how I met Jasper,” I said.
“You poor thing, so young to be turned, so young to be so brutalized,” she said softly. She hugged my close to her. She was tall enough my head was just below her breasts (sob) I wrapped my arms around her waist. My hands dangerously close to her ass.
I admit I fluffed up the story of me being attacked by a nomad. My version was being stalked by a vampire and kept prisoner for days before I managed to escape only to be hunted down again and bit right before the Cullens found me and saved me.
Why was I saying this? Pity points. Like I said Zafrina is a hot piece of ass and just because I am stuck as a twelve year old doesn’t mean I have to act like it. I was on the crisp of adulthood after all when I was turned.
I nuzzled my head against her and my hands fell down so I felt the top of her ass. Thank you god!
“Did I ever tell you what my power is?” she asked. I looked up at her, her face hidden by her breast.
“No.”
“I cast illusions that can affect all five senses. Taste, touch, smell, seeing, hearing. It makes a good tool to use to punish naughty boys.”
Uh oh busted. “How did you know?”
“I asked Jasper already, his version was you ran out in the woods after a fight with your mother when a nomad stumbled on you and he was in the area with Carlisle and his brothers when Edward heard your plight and they came to help you.”
“So…why didn’t you call me out?”
“Well I felt pity for you, until you touched my back side, tell me, you ever been attacked by an angry swarm of fire ants?”
She smiled and it was a deadly one.
“Fuck.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasper P.O.V
“What have you done Carlisle!” Amun hissed.
“Amun what are you talking about?” Carlisle asked.
Me, Carlisle, Edward and the Egyptian coven were outside away from prying ears.
“He is obviously a weapon, I wondered why you cared so much for one insignificant child, now I know. He is a weapon against the Volturi.”
“Amun, I took him in because he went through a traumatic experience and needed a home, how could I turn him away?” Carlisle asked.
“The fact he can kill and heal us with a touch didn’t cross your mind? He would be the ultimate weapon, not only can he kill your enemies but he can heal you if you are harmed in a battle. A warrior and a healer in one, Aro himself would love to add him to his collection.”
“It is my high hopes there will be no such battle Amun, all I want is to live in peace, but if Aro comes for my family again I will have no choice but to fight him.”
“Of course with Bella protecting you from the powers of his coven and now the boy surely victory would be yours.”
“Amun, you are being paranoid,” Benjamin said.
“Am I? Isn’t it funny how Carlisle has found two incredibly powerful vampires in these few years and managed to amount an army in a month where it took Aro generations to make one?”
“I used honesty, compassion and truth where Aro used trickery, fear and deceit. And I made no army; I told you before all I asked was that you tell Aro you have seen for yourselves Nessie was not an immortal child.”
“You knew we would have to fight, you do not stand up to the Volturi no matter what. I regret the day I came to you Carlisle, now Aro knows of Benjamin and it is only a matter of time before he comes to collect him.”
“I am not a toy to be taken Amun, if Aro decides to come for me he will find I am not a foe to be taken likely,” Benjamin said.
A fire burned in his eyes and it made me shudder. I was always weary around Benjamin. I knew he was a good honest man, I could sense it. But I also knew he was like nature, he could be bright shiny skies but anger him and he would be thunderstorms and hurricanes. He had the power to prove it, he just needed more time to show how powerful he really was.
I remember Eleazar talking to Carlisle during the time when we gathered for Nessie. He was really impressed by Benjamin. Said he had potential like a volcano, said when Benjamin learns the full extent of his powers he will be one of the most powerful vampires to ever exist.
“Benjamin, you are too cocky after two years ago, the Volturi are sneaky and they have powers that can render you immobile. Try going against the twins when you do not have Bella’s shield to hide behind.”
“Regardless Amun I do not think Carlisle is trying to make an army like you accuse him of, how would he know the boy had such a power in the first place?”
“Eleazar of course, remember he can sense when a human will have a gift when they are turned.”
“That is ridicules Amun, I would never turn someone, let alone a twelve year old and bring them into this life for power or any other reason,” Carisle said.
I was beginning to sense irritation and anger from him. I felt a pang of guilt. He was catching grief for what I did. Had I been a better person this could have all been avoided. A part of me still regrets turning him, but another part thinks he is better off with me than his mother. I looked her up on the internet. I also used my contacts to get her legal information.
She was arrested for numerous drinking violations and drug possession, it was only pot but still to expose your child to that kind of life. She also had numerous charges of assault, breaking and entering, destruction of property, disturbing the peace. Why in the hell wasn’t he removed from her sooner?
“I wouldn’t call him a child Carlisle, I saw that look in his eye, we all did, there is a killer in that boy waiting to come out in him. Remember Carlisle a weapon can turn on you, especially a living weapon.”
“For the last time he is not a weapon!” I snapped. “He is just a boy with more burdens in his life then what he should have, he has been through more hell then should have been allowed and he is surprisingly mature for his age, especially considering what his life has been like.”
“AGGHHH!”
We turned and saw Jack running around the back of the cabin. He was slamming his hands all over his body and rolling on the ground.
“Holy shit! Get these fucking ants off me! I’m sorry I’ll never touch your ass again!”
“On second thought, let’s forget about the mature part.” I sighed.
Fusedtwilight: I think we can all agree this is the nicest chapter so far. I can guarantee you it will be all down hill after this. Please review.
