Chapter 19
Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing, i hope you all enjoy this chapter, Jack and Nikki fight for their lives and they go on a real official date!
Jack P.O.V
We waited until nightfall before we left. By we, I mean every single vampire Maria had, including Nikki. I was not happy about that. I did not want her coming to this fight but I could not persuade Maria.
“Nikki is more than capable of protecting herself; wait till you see her fight, than you will see.”
I did not want to see because I did not want her to fight god damn it!
“Don't worry, if I am hurt you can heal me right?” she asked.
“Yeah but...I don't want you to get hurt,” I said.
“You can't always protect me Jack,” she said.
“I can try,” I said stubbornly.
She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. “That is sweet of you Jack. I like you're hair by the way, it looks better than Justin's.”
I felt pride and satisfaction swell in my chest. Jack one, Justin Bieber zero!
After Maria gathered us all up she told us who we were fighting. “Tonight we bring the fight to Pedro!”
Pedro? The same Pedro I met before? The one who was using a human head to play ball with his buddies? I liked that idea. The thought of killing Pedro is something I relish. I did not like that guy.
“We will claim his territory for ourselves! Than after him all our enemies will fall and the blood of Mexico will be ours!”
Everyone cheered and growled with glee. Only me and Nikki were indifferent. Only we were quiet as they cheered. I am not fighting for blood, I am fighting because that is what I am intended to do, what good am I? It's obvious I am supposed to kill; my power allows me to hunt even my own kind.
After her little speech we headed out for Pedro's territory. I kept on glancing at Nikki as we ran. Unlike the others who radiated blood lust she was the only one who seemed to not want to fight. But Maria wanted her there so she was there.

“Stay close to me,” I said to her.
“I will,” she said.
Thirty minutes later we reached Pedro's territory. A small town could be seen off in the distance. But standing between us and that small town was Pedro and his coven.
There were ten more of them than us. Many of them newborns, as I could tell from their eyes they were newborns.
Maria stepped forward, as did Pedro. “Maria,” he said.
“Pedro.”
Both of their voices dripped with contempt. I could feel the energy between them. I did not have to be empathic like Jasper to know they hated one another.
“Finally come to make you're last stand hag?” he asked.
Hag? She may be old but she was no hag.
“I have come for you're head you disrespectful little snot!” she hissed. “Everything was fine, there was a balance in this land, a balance that took years of fighting and bloodshed to make. Than you came along and ruined everything!”
“You had no right to horde all that blood!” Pedro snarled, “you old covens think you can have all the cities to yourselves. You lack the ability to share even a drop. Well out with the old and in with the new I say. Once I am done Mexico will belong to every vampire and not just a handful of greedy ass fossils.”
His vampires cheered for him.
“Come on guys.” I took a step forward, all eyes were drawn to me. I saw Pedro's eyes narrow, I thought I saw a tinge of fear but it passed. “It's a big world out there. There’s like over six billion people. You're telling me you can't go to....Australia, or China, or Canada for a snack?”
“We were born in Mexico, it is our home. If we want to feed here we have that right,” Pedro said.
I sighed; here I was trying to be a peace maker. But peacemaking was not my best skill. Now killing and pissing people off, that I could do.
“Then I guess you are dumber than you look.”
Many of the newborns chuckled and jeered when I said that. I heard Nikki sigh and shake her head.
“Jack, Pedro is mine, understand?” Maria said.
“You want him you can have him,” I told her.
“Enough! Tonight you and you're coven will die and you're territory will be ours, charge!”
Pedro and his coven rushed us. We all roared a sound like thunder and charged at them. The sound that resulted of our clash was like a hurricane. Soon flesh was tearing and limbs were flying, in a matter of minutes fires were started.
I fought some vampire; we circled another snarling and growling. He rushed at me and I side stepped him. I brought my fist up and punched him in the face; he fell to the ground hard, making a little imprint on the ground. Before he could stop me I jumped on him and grabbed his throat and drained him. I felt his life-force enter me like a rush and within a matter of seconds he was dust.
I stood up, thankful Jasper had taught me how to fight those last six months. I looked around for Nikki; I had been so busy fighting my guy I had lost track of her. I found her not to far away fighting a vampire taller than her. She had him on his knees, gripping his arms, her newborn strength giving her the edge. I heard the sound of bones snapping and the vampire howled in rage, I knew she broke his arms.
A vampire sneaked up behind her and rushed at her, I was about to scream a warning at her, but then without even looking behind she let go of the vampire and jumped out of the way. The two vampires plowed into one another falling to the ground. They began to claw at one another in anger and Nikki took advantage of this and jumped on and ripped them to pieces.
Soon the fighting began to die down, we lost quit a few vampires but they lost more. We were winning. Maria and Pedro fought one on one. No one dared try and help either. They were hell bent on one another’s death.
I had killed seven vampires; three I had drained, four I killed with my bare hands. I wish I could say I felt regret, I wish I could say that a part of me was ashamed in what I was doing. But there was no shame, there was no doubt. There was only the thrill of the kill, the pleasure in taking the life of another. It was a feeling I relished in.
I was a predator, this was my forest, they are my meat, my prey. There was nothing more, there was nothing less. It was impersonal; it was simply the law of the jungle. They wanted our land and would kill us for it; we wanted their land and would kill them for it. All about territory.
Nikki was facing four vampires, I was amazed by her. She was so graceful, she moved flawlessly, they might as well be touching air, she knew when and where they would strike. But they were closing in on her, making it harder for her to dodge.
She tried to get more space but they had her circled and she could not escape. I ran to her to help, but I did not make it in time. She did not dodge a hit in time. A vampire clocked her in the face and she fell to the ground and they were all on her in a second.
“NIKKI!” I roared.
I could hear the sounds of flesh ripping and I roared in rage. They saw me coming and scattered. She was in pieces. Her head was still attached to her body, but she was missing her left arm, her nose and right ear were gone too, as was her right hand and part of her thigh.
“Oh god Nikki!”
“Jack, it hurts Jack. Don't let them get me, I don't want to die,” she said.
“It's okay, I'll heal you, don't worry.”
“Behind you!”
I heard him coming before she warned me, I had drained so many vampires my senses were better than the normal vampires. I could feel him running up behind me. I could feel the vibrations his foot falls made as they hit the ground, I heard the crunch as his feet stepped on the dirt. I saw him in the reflection of her eyes, when he was right behind be, about to strike me I strike first.
Spinning around I thrust my hand forward and with all my strength shoved my hand right into his stomach, he roared in pain as my hand found its way into his gut. He grabbed at my arm and tried to pull it out but I had already begun to drain him. Six seconds later he was nothing but dust.
I was a little surprised by how quick I finished him. Six seconds? That is a new record.
I stood up and snarled at the other vampires. They all coward in fear of me. Three more to go, for hurting her, for doing this to her, they would all die.
The little bastards tried to run but I caught them all. One by one I ripped them to shreds, not bothering to kill them. Let them suffer like Nikki suffered. Let them feel what is was like to be dismembered. They fought of course, but they were no match for me. I had kept close to Nikki; I did not want some enemy vampire to finish her while I was killing her tormentors.
Thanks to the power I had absorbed I was faster and stronger than even a newborn. All my senses were sharper than norm. I was like the world had slowed to a snail’s pace and only I could move normal. That is what happens when I take in too much power, it’s like getting high on a drug, only instead of dulling my senses is makes them stronger.
I pulled my lighter out and set them afire. I made my way back to Nikki, as I drew close she flinched from me and I paused, I could see the fear in her eyes. I could not blame her. She had just watched me kill four vampires. I could see myself in the reflection of her eye. My eyes glowed a deep yellow color.
“I am sorry,” I said.
I began to collect the pieces she had lost, I watched in fascination as her flesh and muscles reattached and healed themselves. There were lines, scars from where she had been torn apart. I placed my hands on her and I felt her flinch. I let the power flow into her, soon the lines disappeared and she was good as new.
She stood up shakily and felt her body. She smiled when she felt everything was in place. But it disappeared when she saw my face. “You're eyes. Do they always do that?”
“It happens when I absorb a large amount of life-force. It will fade eventually.”
She traced the corner of my eyes with her finger tips. “Does it hurt?”
“No.” was all I said.
A roar of triumph and we turned. Maria had defeated Pedro. She held his head in her hands and the others cheered for her. She tossed his head into a nearby fire. Pedro had gotten a few good hits on her. She was covered in bites and bits and chunks of flesh were missing.
We had won. Pedro and his coven were dead and they're territory was ours. As the others gathered up any remaining bits of vampire flesh they could find I walked over to Maria. Nikki silently followed me.
Maria offered me her hand and I took it, I focused and let the power flow into her. I watched as her body healed.
“Well done Jack,” she smiled.
She jerked me forward, I rammed into her with a sound like two boulders slamming into one another. I thought she was going to attack me, her face came forward and I thought she was aiming for my neck. Instead she aimed for my lips. She kissed me on the lips.
She pressed her body firmly against mine. She was taller than me so she had to bend down a bit to kiss me. It was rough, it was hard, I heard an angry growl behind us. Maria let me go and glanced at Nikki. She looked positively feral right then.
“Well done both of you. I am pleased to see you are alive Nikki.”
Nikki said nothing, just continued to glare.
She let me go, which I was thankful for. The kiss had done horribly wonderful things to me, with my senses still so sharp the kiss had been even better and my body held evidence of that.
“Well done everyone!” she called to the others, “I say we have ourselves a nice little celebratory drink.” she glanced at the town that glowed in the distance.
The newborns cheered happily.
“Remember hide what you eat, leave no mark of you're presence there.”
They all let out fierce hungry growls and ran for the town. “Come Jack, you did well.”
“Thanks but I am a veggie vampire remember?” I said.
She grinned. “Still after all this time? I will let you have extra.”
I was tempted, the thought of having lots of human blood made my mouth pool with venom. With my new senses I could only imagine how good it would taste.
“No! I will take some animals of the dessert,” I said.
She sighed. “Fine. Nikki, you coming?”
“No. I am tired of death,” was all she said.
“Tired of death?” she laughed, “sweetie you are a vampire, death is with you all the time. I will leave you two alone to your silly restricted diet, more for the rest of us.”
She ran to the town, eager to fill her belly. We watched as she headed for the town. We had lost a few of our own coven tonight. No one stopped to mourn, no one stopped to glance sadly at the burning piles. We watched the town for a moment in silence. I wondered what the news reports would say about so many people going missing.
“Come on lets go,” I said to Nikki.
She followed me without a word, but I could tell she was pissed. One thing growing up with a manic-depressive mother is you become good at quickly knowing when someone is mad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikki P.O.V
For the record I was not mad, I was pissed!
First I was freaked out by how he killed those vampires. Sure I killed my fair share and I had seen plenty of newborns from my own coven kill one another. But when they killed their eyes were filled with rage and abandon. But when Jack killed there was nothing in his eyes. I mean they didn't change except for the glow now but I mean there was no rage, not even a sense of pleasure.
They were dead and empty, like nothing was there, like no one was home. Like he was a robot and what he was doing was automatic.
It scared the shit out of me. Even the most wild and unruly newborn had something in their eyes when they killed, but Jack was as blank as a piece of paper. As he walked towards me he still had the same look in them. I had feared he was coming to finish me off. Dumb I know seeing how he defended me from those bastards but still that look.
Speaking of death I almost died tonight was the closest I have ever come to being killed since I became a vampire. The feeling of their teeth and hands ripping parts of my body was still fresh. Always would be thanks to our better than human memories. The pain and horror was still so vivid in my mind.
As was the image of that fucking slut laying her lips on my man!
Yes, that's right I said my man. If anyone was going to lay lips on him it was going to be me. Not that fucking whore Maria. What is she a fucking pedophile? He is twelve and she is like a million fucking years old and she goes and slips her tongue in his mouth! And he just fucking let her do it!
“What’s got you in a rut?”
He asked me as we walked. “Why did you let her kiss you?” I asked.
He frowned. “I didn't let her kiss me, I was too shocked.”
“Please if I hadn't stopped her you would have let her continue to molest you.”
“She didn't molest me,” he said sounding annoyed.
“Could have fooled me, no wonder she doesn't have a mate, I thought men were just scared of her now it turns out she likes them young,” I said with disgust.
He turned to face me anger clear in his eyes. “Can you just drop it!”
“Fine!”
I stomped on ahead of him, my feet making loud boom sounds as I walked, little mini-quakes could be felt.
“What is your problem!” he shouted.
I spun around. “My problem! My fucking problem is I almost died and I thought I might mean something to you and you go and let her fucking kiss you!”
“Are you jealous?” he asked.
“Maybe a little, look at me Jack, I may be vampire beautiful but I am still just a thirteen year old girl, what chance do I stand against Maria?”
He looked at me surprised. My eyes were burning. Vampires don't have tears, but when our bodies react in such a way that would normally make us cry we get this burning sensation.
I could feel my lips quivering and I knew my face looked sad and angry. We may not cry but our faces still make the motions. His face softened and he wrapped his arms around me. I stiffened, not in fear but my body was tingly right now, like little sparks of electricity were running along my skin.
“You have nothing to worry about Nikki. You're already beautiful to me, more so than any other woman could hope to be.”
Had I a beating heart it would be beating right now. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. I pressed my face in his hair and inhaled, taking in his scent. He smelled so good.
We pulled back and stared into one another’s eyes. Everything seemed to fall into place. Him, me, us. It all made sense now. We just clicked.
At the same time we both moved forward, his eyes glowed with warmth and love. He truly looked like an angel now; I cannot wait for my eyes to turn yellow instead of this disgusting red. Our lips connected. It was not like what his and Maria's had been.
It was sweet, it was gentle, it was tender, but there was a sharp underlying need in it. A need for closeness, a need for companionship, a need for something more than violence and blood lust. A need for love and warmth only a lover can give.
I was in seventh heaven. I never wanted this to end. But Jack had other ideas. He pulled away and I made a noise of displeasure. “No, we can't do this!” he said angrily.
“What? Why? Am I a bad kisser? I mean I have only kissed like two other boys so I don't have a lot of experience,” I said. It was true. Unlike those other sluts I went to school with I wasn't kissing every guy at school I could. I like guys and everything but I think a girl should have some self-control. It's not like guys are hard to find.
“No, the kiss was amazing.” he touched his lips with his fingers, he smiled a sweet smile. I loved it when he smiled, it wasn't the usual smile he had when he was being a smart ass. It made him look really lovely, because he wasn't being mean or cruel.
“It’s me, I am not good for you Nikki,” he said.
“Uh, you just put me back together and healed me like twenty minutes ago, you saved me from dying.”
“I saw you flinch Nikki, I know you were afraid of me.”
“Yeah, of course I was afraid. When you drained those vampires your eyes were empty. There was no anger, no joy. It was like a great nothing had filled them.”
“That’s why we shouldn't be together, I'm a monster Nikki!”
“Really, welcome to the club,” I said sarcastically.
“You don't get it, I love killing people, and I love draining them dry. My eyes may have been empty but my mind was racing. I loved draining them dry! I loved killing them; I loved watching as they turned to dust, I loved the look of fear in their eyes as they died. Is that the kind of person you want to be with?”
“But you did it to save me,” I said.
“You don't get it....draining someone....is better than blood. What I take isn't blood, it is life, the true life source people hold. It is like having lightning run through your body. It is wonderful and horrible at the same time. It is like a drug because it is power in its purist form, not power that destroys but power that gives and creates. And I hunger for it.”
“Jack please we can-”
“I killed my mother.”
That threw me through a loop. “What?”
“You wanted to know how I learned I could kill right? At first we thought I was just a healer you know. Then I got missing my mom so bad I called her up, she was more fucked up than usual, I could tell. So I went running home, found her on the floor, dieing. I began to heal her, while I was healing her she started to run her mouth at me. Being a newborn I was already temperamental. Her words caused something in me to snap, it was than I learned my power could kill, she was my first victim, my own mother.”
I clasped my hands to my mouth, horrified by what I was hearing. Sure I killed people, for food. But he killed his own mother, granted it was an accident but still.
“If I could kill my own mother than what would stop me from killing you?”
He took a threatening step forward.
“What would stop me from killing you here and now?”
I smiled, which threw him through a loop. I knew what he was trying to do, he was trying to scare me off. “You can't scare me Jack, I know better.”
He sighed and rolled his eyes. “Fucking danger sense.”
“Jack please. We need to look out for one another, we need one another. Were not like Maria and the others, we see things differently, we want to be more than monsters.”
“But I like being a monster...I like killing, I have tried running away from that fact but it is true. I can kill tons of people and not even blink.”
“Do you feel guilt for your mother?” I asked him.
“Yes.”
“Do you feel bad you like killing?”
“Yes.”
“Then you are not a monster. Monsters don't feel remorse or guilt for their actions. Is there darkness in you? Yes. But you can control it. Just because you have dark urges doesn't mean you have to enact on them. If you love killing so much than why don't you drink human blood? If killing vampires is easy for you killing humans would be beyond easy.”
“I feel like I owe it to Jasper and the Cullens for going through all the trouble of caring for me and trying to show me I could be more than a monster.”
“Because you are more than a monster. You are cocky, arrogant, disrespectful, annoying, scary, full of angst and kill easy. But you are also brave, loyal, funny when you're not trying to be cruel, and have a real caring and compassionate soul. I think underneath all the dry with and sharp words is a kid that has a lot to offer the world, but is just scared to show himself.”
“Christ ease up Doctor Phil,” he smiled.
I went up to him; I cupped both cheeks with my hands. He flinched like I struck him but he did not move. “Fine, if you think you are a monster than prove it. If you are such a monster than kill me.”
He looked at me sadly. “I can't, I won't.”
“See, not a monster.” I leaned forward and kissed him again. “Now stop being such a whiny little bitch and kiss me a little. If we are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend for all eternity I need some loving too you know.”
He grinned. “Well if we are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend I guess that means I have to dote on you?”
“Damn right, won't be easy, I was a spoiled rich little princess remember?”
“Oh yes.” he took my hands in his and kissed them, I swear if I was made of snow I would have melted. “In fact I think it is time we went on our first official date.”
“But didn't we go on a date the other night? I mean you got me food and we opened up.”
“Okay this will be our first date as boyfriend and girlfriend. So I think I will treat you to something special. First we eat than we go to the nearest city. I think you are in need of some new clothes.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack P.O.V
The look on her face was priceless.
When I told her we were going to a city she instantly protested. But after an hour I wore her down and she gave up. So we hunted some coyotes and all kinds of dessert animals until our stomachs could physically hold no more.
It took us a while to find the city, me and my fucked up sense of direction. (Obviously not even the vampire venom could fix that) Nikki knew the area better than me and I should have listened to her but me and my pride. Finally I settle to using my power to locate the largest human settlement and we found our city.
I had no idea what it was called. It was something in Spanish so I didn't bother to remember the name.
My eyes only glowed faintly now so I wasn't to worried about someone noticing. Nikki was a nervous wreck. She was so scared she was going to drain a human. I had to swear all kinds of oaths and promises I would not let her do that.
We stood on top of a building overlooking the humans. It was like a scene from a sci-fi movie where the heroes or villains watch over the city as the norms went about their lives not knowing what lurked in the dark.
“You okay?” I asked.
“Yeah the blood helped. Still I don't think I should be around people,” she said.
“You have to learn to tolerate human blood. Drinking animal blood can only do so much for you, it's all a matter of will power and if you cannot resist than drinking animal blood won't help.”
She growled at me and I laughed. We jumped from building to building invisible to the humans. Not a single one was ever aware to predators lurked above them. First we stopped by a mall. It was closed and it was easy to get in. The roof door was locked but we broke it, there was no alarm for it, after all no way a human could get up here unnoticed.
First we stopped by one of the clothing stores. It took a while for her to pick out a new cloths to wear. For a whole hour she selected cloths and tried on a whole slew of them and asked me what I thought. I thought she looked good in all of them but no matter what I said she could not choose. Finally she decided on a pair of designer jeans, a nice green shirt that bared her arms and a nice pair of black shoes, all over the five hundred dollar mark.
I decided I needed some new cloths myself. Two weeks and the cloths I had from the Cullen's were dirty and all torn to hell. I let Nikki pick them out. I knew she and Alice would get along well. She reminded me of both Alice and Rose. Like Alice she loved to shop, she was nice and caring. But like Rose she had a bossy side and was used to getting her own way.
Next we stopped by a beauty shop, when she saw what she looked like in the mirror with dirt and mud all over her face she screeched in horror. “Oh my god look at me, I look disgusting, I so totally need a makeover, why didn't you say anything Jack,” she said glaring at me.
She spent an hour doing her nails, hair and makeup. She was in a much better mood now. After the beauty salon we stopped by a book store, sadly everything was in Spanish so I didn't buy anything. Two weeks and I haven't done anything to improve my vocab.
Nikki however could speak fluent Spanish and bought a few romance novels.
We left the mall and were walking down a street. We passed people and they stared at us. How could they not, here we were to incredibly hot vampire kids in expansive cloths looking like a trillion bucks. It was funny, grown men and women would stare at us and get this look on their face. A cross of amazement and awe, than they would look away in shame. I did not have to be Edward to know they were thinking naughty thoughts about us. But their morals reminded them of our age and we were off limits.
There were a few who were not ashamed to look at us with clear lust. I caught a few men leering at Nikki and growled at them. That sent them running.
I was not bothered by the looks (except from the creepy older guys) I enjoyed the attention. It made me feel powerful to know a single glance at the right person could turn them into a puddle of mush. I was still twelve and to have this affect on older woman did make me feel a little cocky. I was jail bait and I was proud of it.
I turned to Nikki to say something to her but I saw she was no longer beside me, I had been so busy loving the attention I was getting I did not see she was further back, staring at a window. I walked up to her cursing my negligence. She could have gone ape shit and bit someone and I would have been too busy being vain to care.
The window she was staring into was a jewel shop; metal bars prevented anyone from just breaking the window and grabbing the goods. There was such a strong desire on her face I almost thought she was staring at blood. I looked and saw it was a necklace. It had an emerald diamond attached to it. The diamond had a carving on it; it was one of those drawings you saw from an Aztec or Inca wall. It showed a man in a headdress. The design reminded me of some Quileute drawings Seth and the others brought over to show me a few times.
Funny, looking at the design I missed Seth, Collin and hell even that dick Brady. They were the only other kids I ever hanged out with since I joined the Cullen's, besides Nessie. I wonder how they are doing? I wonder how things are between Jake and the Cullen's, I wonder if it has affected his relationship with Nessie? I wonder if Seth and Collin are still talking to Brady?
Surprisingly I didn't begrudge Brady for what he did. I still thought it was a major dick thing to do but growing up with an alcoholic mother and this whole vampire thing I know a bit of how that kind of life can have an effect on a person, growing up and learning to deal with so many frustrating emotions and having your parents fear or resent you makes you do dumb things. Besides, Sam would have found out sooner or later.
“See something you like?” I asked her. I remember her saying Jade green was her favorite color and the emerald was a jade color.
She looked to me and smiled. “It's beautiful,” she said.
“You want it?” I asked.
“God yes.” she made a face of wanting. “But they're closed and it costs like three thousand dollars.”
I laughed. “Oh Nikki you are so funny,” I said.
“What?” she asked confused.
“Let me show you a little trick.”
I brought my hand back and right into the glass window and the metal bars, they screeched as my fist caused them to bend and break. I grabbed the necklace and pulled it out. “Jack what the hell are you doing!?”
“Window shopping,” I said.
She was looking around quickly. Some near by people were shouting at us, others were staring and pointing. “Come on.” I grabbed her hands and pulled her, we ran at human speed, some people tried to stop us but we side stepped them.
We ran down an ally and jumped to the top of a three story building. We watched as a group of men came running down the alley after us. They looked around puzzled and search the trash bins and looked to see if we were hiding. They realized we weren't there and ran back out the ally way.
“Dumb asses,” I laughed.
“Jack that was stupid! What if we got caught!”
“Caught? Unless they have secret vampire policemen I doubt we would have been caught.”
“What will they say when they see the bars bent?”
“Oh I am sure they'll say I used some tool or the bars were faulty. You know they will only think of logical shit,” I said.
“Oh God when Maria finds out what we did we are so dead!”
“Maria doesn't have the balls to go after me and if she so much as lays a finger on you I will kill her,” I said.
“Really?” she asked surprised.
“Of course. If anyone did anything to hurt I would go psycho on their ass's. Now lets see.” I brought the necklace up and wrapped it around her neck. “Perfect. You make it look even better,” I said.
“Oh Jack...I love it, thank you so much,” she said.
I leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. “Nikki I have something I wanted to ask you.”
“What?”
I was getting nervous now. I had been going over this again and again in my head. It seemed like a good idea in thought. Actually suggesting it was a whole other thing.
“Well I have been thinking what you said earlier about us being different than Maria and the newborns.”
“Yeah?”
“Well after the war is over Maria won't need you or me anymore and I don't want to get drawn into any more vampire wars. Let’s face it, the local gentry around this area are a bit too rough for us to live with.”
“You think?”
“So I was thinking...after the war which should be soon you want to...leave Mexico?”
“Leave?”
“You know go somewhere else. I mean were vampires now, we can go all sorts of places. Canada, Hawaii, France, Rome, China, Russia, Japan, Australia, I mean we are immortal, we don't need to eat or sleep, we don't get tired. Plus there are tons of animals for us to eat.”
Hmm. I wonder what a Koala bear tastes like?......What? Don't look at me like that, a guys got to eat, might as well start with something cute and cuddly.
“You mean make our own coven?” she asked quietly.
“Sure. I mean besides the Cullens back in Forks there is another coven of animal eaters that live in Alaska. I figure between me and you we can avoid trouble with your gift and if anyone tries to give us shit they won't stand a chance against me...so what do you think?”
She smiled, it was full of joy. “Oh yes Jack I would love that!” she threw her arms around me and hugged me. “I thought I was going to be stuck in this hell hole, but then you came and saved me, thank you so much!”
I hugged her and let her cry, there were no tears but still she heaved like she was. “It's okay, after the war we will leave; we'll go anywhere you want.”
“Oh I want to go everywhere! I want to go to Egypt and stand on top of the pyramids! I want to travel to Greece and see all the old temples and architectures, I want to go to London and climb big Ben, I want to Swim to Australia and see the coral reef! I want to see it all!”
“We will,” I laughed. “We have all the time in the world.”
“What will we tell Maria?” she asked.
“We'll tell her we are leaving after the war. She can't stop us,” I said. “Besides I'll protect you.”
“You know I can protect myself,” she said getting a little scowl on her face.
“I did have to save you earlier,” I reminded her.
“I was surrounded.”
“I thought you're danger sense let you dodge attacks?”
“It helps warn me, but if my opponent is faster than me I can get hit. Spider-man can't dodge every punch thrown at him.”
I laughed and patted her on the head. “Of course.”
She got a dangerous look on her face than smiled. “Okay.” she backed up. “Throw a punch at me.”
“What? I am not throwing a punch at you, you are my girlfriend.”
“Just fucking punch me you pussy!”
On the other hand…
I brought up my fist and went to punch her, she dodged me easily. “That the best you got?”
I tried throwing another punch and another but she dodged them flawlessly. The next three minutes I tried everything, punching, kicking, rushing but she was always three steps ahead. It wasn't that she was faster than me, though she was quick, she just knew where I was going to strike and knew not to be there when I did.
Finally she brought her open palm up and slammed it into the bottom of my chin, I was stunned for a second and that second was all she needed, she tackled me to the ground and straddled me, I hissed at her and she laughed.
“What the fuck I thought you couldn't fight?”
“I lied.”
“What?”
“Daddy had me take self-defense lessons. A girl should know how to protect herself, especially in a place like Vegas.”
“Why did you lie to me?”
“Well I didn't really know you, for all I knew you could have been a psychotic little Michael Myers.”
I narrowed my eyes at her, my pride was hurt. I had just been beaten by a girl. The only shred of self-respect I had left was that had I been using my power she wouldn't have landed that blow.
She giggled and kissed me on the end of my nose. You are so cute when you pout.”
“I do not pout,” I said pouting.
She giggled more and kissed me on the lips. The rest of the night we spent on the roof of the building making out. When dawn approached we headed back to Maria's. I was beyond happy, I haven't been this happy for so long. I felt like my body was full of energy (which technically it was) but now I finally had a reason to exist in this world.
I now existed for her, what more can a man ask for?
Things were going so great; I should not have been surprised when it all went downhill.

Everyone sat around me as I told them in great detail about Jack and his first official date with Nikki. There were many awws and ohhs.
“I never thought he had a romantic bone in his body,” Rose said.
“He stole an expensive piece of jewelry for her,” Esme said.
“He styled his hair like Justin Beibers,” Bella said.
Rose glared at Emmett. “Why don't you style you're hair for me?”
“Aw baby you know I love you,” Emmett said.
“Yeah but what have you done for me lately?” she asked.
“Will you marry me?” he asked.
“That lost its luster like ten ceremonies ago,” she said turning her head.
I laughed as Emmett tried to appease Rose. I was so happy for Jack, he finally found the person who could heal his heart. I was so excited. I know he will come back to us and when he does we will have a new sister. Our family sure has been growing a lot lately.
I frowned though; the future was once again changing. The possible bright and cheery future that had Jack and Nikki with us was overshadowed by one of Jack alone in the world, his eyes red and malice filled them, he was alone in this future. I know why, Maria is up to her old tricks again.
But a second after that future a new one took its place, two new ones actually. Jack and Nikki both wore chillingly familiar black cloaks, their eyes red. Or worse yet Jack and Nikki a pile of ash.
The Volturi have made a decision and have started to act.
I looked at Edward, he understood. If the Volturi get to Jack he will either join them of die by them. As soon as Jasper gets here we have to get to Mexico and quick. He is on his way now with Peter and Charlotte with him.
Jack's future looked grim, four visions I had of him, one he was alone and roamed the earth given in to his blood lust, another he and his love had joined the Volturi another they both were killed by them. Only one had them alive with us, alive and happy.
We had to be quick and we had to hurry. Time was running short for Jack.

Maria P.O.V
I watched as Alejandro tore out the human’s heart.
It was a waste of blood, but he refused to feast without giving his god's their due. After he ripped out the heart he dipped his head into the gaping wound in the man’s chest and drank deeply. After that he tossed the body and heart into the pit we had built to hide the bodies. It was too deep to ever be discovered by the humans, unless they knew exactly where to dig.
Once the bodies were all in I tossed a bottle of liquor in the pit, than I tossed a lighter in, in a second the bodies lit up. The mixture of alcohol and the venom made them go up like a light. After a few moments when they bodies were mostly ash the newborns began to toss the dirt back in the hole, hiding the bodies of our meal.
Dawn was a few hours away, it had been a good hunt. We had found a small party at a house on the outskirts of the town. There were only fourteen newborns left not, not including me, Alejandro or Jack and Nikki. Altogether our coven was eighteen strong.
We had lost five newborns in the fight. Our victory had been the best we had in a long time, moral in the coven was great. They had all fed well, our bellies were bursting with blood we gorged on from the party goers. Soon the small town would report thirty residents missing, not knowing all were burned and buried under ground.
I turned to Alejandro, he was pleased. Tonight had gone really well. Pedro and his coven were dead. Their territory was ours now, soon we would crush the others and Mexico would be all ours.
I had been lucky to find Alejandro. He had been an Aztec priest back in the olden days. He was around nine hundred and some odd years old. He never lost his faith in the Aztec gods, still to this day sacrificing hearts to them. He was a good warrior and he followed orders really well.
He only followed me because I have him enemies to slaughter and once Mexico was ours he would have a sizable territory to hunt in and so many bloody hearts to tear out.
I walked over to him. “You know I think we should trim the ranks now,” I said.
He looked at me confused. “Why?”
“Well Pedro was our biggest problem, the other coven's won't be to hard. Plus some of the newborns are closing in on the year mark. With Jack on our side they are just dead weight anyway.”
“Fine, tomorrow I will take a few out to the dessert.”
I know he liked to take the newborns out to the dessert to sacrifice. Vampires don't die from having their heart cut out but it still hurt like hell. I didn't care how he killed them as long as he finished them off.
“Also I think it best if we trim the dead weight, rid ourselves of the ones who don't pull their weight.”
He looked at me with impatience, wondering what I meant.
“I mean what is the point of having vampires who do not fight?”
Understanding dawned in his eyes.
“With Jack on our side we need not worry about running from our enemies. Next time take whoever you think is useless to us and finish them.”
“I understand.”
He grinned, pleased. He knew how much Jack liked Nikki. He hated Jack, hated him because of how Jack had humiliated him. Since he could not get Jack's heart he would get the one who already held it.
I admit I was fond of her in a way. She had been most useful. But this life was not meant for her, in a way I was doing her a service. I made her into a god but godhood was not meant for her. I saw how miserable it made her, so I would put her out of her misery. Or rather Alejandro would.
Than without Nikki Jack would no longer be distracted from his true path in life. He would finally have nothing to distract him from what he was meant to do. Kill.
