Chapter 26

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki and thanks to all you who reviewed.

So once again everyone escaped the Volturi and Jack and Nikki laid the smack down on Alec and Jane. Now that there is nothing left in their way will Jack and Nikki live on in peace?

Jack P.O.V

Well that was a real holy shit moment. I thought for sure we were all fucked.

We flew back to Forks, Carlisle had called ahead to let them know we were safe and coming home.

Everyone was waiting for us; even Jake, Seth, Collin and Brady were there. Wanting to know what happened. I was more than happy to tell them.

“So Nikki jumps on her and starts bashing the bitch's head in on the floor and I was like that's my girl and I had that pussy Alec by the throat, I bet he would have pissed himself if he still could,” I said.

I walked over to Nikki and kissed her on the cheek. “You were great babe; you were like Sigourney Weaver when she fought that huge alien queen only a million times hotter.”

Nikki got that sexy look on her face she gets when she is embarrassed. “I am sorry I put everyone at risk, but when I saw her coming at you something in me snapped,” she said.

“It is okay, you are still a newborn. Jane was looking for any excuse she could find anyway. She would have found some way to provoke us,” Jasper said.

“Yeah but Nikki here laid the smack down on that bitch!” I said.

I was so happy, I was brimming with happiness.

“So the Volturi won't be coming for Jack or Nikki right?” Seth asked.

“No. Aro allowed them to live and go in peace,” Carlisle said.

“Awfully nice of him,” Edward said suspiciously.

“He is hoping Jack will kill us all,” Alice said.

That kind of killed my mood.

“I have been watching them since we left; Caius is angry we escaped them again and wanted Aro to explain why he let us go. Aro told him he thinks Jack will one day turn on us.”

“What would make him think that?” Esme asked.

“When he had Jack drain him he read his mind. He saw what he gets like when he starts feeding on life-force. He thinks one day his dark urges will take control and he will turn on us.”

I felt anger begin to course through my veins. That prick thought I was some kind of monster? That was the reason he let me live, in the hopes I would kill the Cullens.

Nikki sensed my mood and took my hand in hers. “Well, obviously he doesn't know Jack,” she said pecking me on the cheek.

I smiled warmly at her. The anger died down in the face of her beauty. Shit I really am in love huh?

Edward chuckled.

“What is it?” Bella asked.

“Jack is realizing he is in love,” Edward said.

“Wait....just now your realizing you’re in love with me?” Nikki said her voice getting dangerously low.

I glared at Edward who looked at me smugly. Bastard is using this to get his pay back at me for being a thorn in his side.

“No, I mean, I just realized for sure I was in love with you.”

She glared at me and put her hands on her hips. I heard Emmett snicker.

“I would think after everything we have been through you would have been pretty damn sure,” she said.

Seeing the danger I was in I quickly turned to Nessie. “Ness, did you get everything ready?”

“Yep, it's all waiting,” she said.

“Good.” I grabbed her arm and led her out of the house.

“Where are we going?” Nikki demanded.

“I have something I have to show you,” was all I said.

Nikki followed me to the spot.

It was a small creek, patches of sunlight beamed down through the clouds. Our skin sparkled every time it hit our skin.

“Okay, here we are,” I said.

“It's really pretty but it's not enough to save your ass this time Jack,” Nikki said crossing her arms, still looking ticked off.

Since when do I say ticked off? Nikki must be having a bad influence on me.

I put my hands on her shoulders. “Nikki. You know I am not real good at showing my emotions right?” I asked.

“Yes, you keep them all bottled up. You’re like a kettle, once the pressure builds you blow.”

“Exactly. My environment was really fucked up. You know that. My mom was uber bi-polar. She was a violent drunk and was an emotional wreck. I can't help but keep myself closed off from the world Nikki. Growing up like that made me want to protect my heart. So over time I built a fortress of wit, sarcasm and good old fashioned smart ass humor. But being cut off from the world, from people has left me cold. But then I met you and you tore down my might fortress. I haven't felt love in so long Nikki, I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was love. Christ for all I know it could have been strong affection. That's my problem, I have staid shut off from humanity for so long I have forgotten how to feel the good stuff.”

Her face softened and she brought her hand to my cheek and I leaned into it, rubbing my cheek against her hand.

“I am full of fear Nikki. My life has been like a ping-pong ball. Good one minute, bad the next. It drives me mad. I keep waiting for me to fuck things up and drive you away. I keep waiting for me to hurt the Cullen's so bad they will want me to leave. I have been filled with so much pain in my life and I had no where to place it, that’s why I have a sadistic streak. I really enjoy pushing people Nikki, I love teasing them bad. Not to be funny, I just like being mean, I like hurting people. I never wanted to admit it, but I was a closet sadist. But being with you has forced me to look at myself. If I am going to make us work I need to come to terms with what I am.”

“And what are you?” she asked.

“I am a monster,” I said seriously.

She opened her mouth about to argue but I put a finger to her lips.

“I am not being emo or anything Nikki. I am serious, I know what I am. I like killing, humans, animals, vampires, I think it’s fun. I like being mean to others, it's fun. But at the same time I don't like senseless murder, if anyone fucks with my friends or family I will kill them. It doesn't matter how much animal blood I drink, this is a part of me I brought over from my human life. I don't want to be like the Cullen's or like the Volturi, I want to be somewhere in between. I want to be an anti-hero. Like the Punisher or Deadpool or Wolverine.”

“You’re basing yourself off of a bunch of comic book characters?” she asked.

“I know, I am trying to prove a point,” I said with an annoyed tone. “I am just saying, I have been a bad boy for so long I don't know if I can be good. I will try, for you and the Cullens. But I might be a long hard road for me and you Nikki. I can't just become Mr. nice guy in a flash.”

“Idiot,” she sighed. “I am not asking you to be Mr. nice guy. Sure I get crept out and disturbed by how mean and nasty you can get. But I love everything about you. I love the good and the bad, and if the bad side gets out of line I'll just put it back in its place,” she said with a smile.

I smiled.

“Besides, I like bad boys, they are so hot,” she smiled.

I smiled and ruffled my hair. “My name is Jack, I am dark and have a deep inner pain I won't share because I am a loner.”

I deepened my voice and did my best imitation of Edward. Sullen, moody and high-strung.

She laughed. “So, what was this thing you had Nessie get ready?” she asked.

I smiled. “Look around, what is so special about this place?” I asked.

She looked around. I saw her frown in confusion, but after a moment of scanning the area I saw realization dawn on her face. “Jack, are those cocoons?”

“Yep, I bought a shit load of Butterfly's, all kinds of species of them. When they began to phase I began to place them around here. When we got called away I had her get this place ready for when we got back.”

“How long before they hatch?” she asked.

I smiled. “Right now,” I said.

I spread my arms out and focused. I spread my power out, it reached into those little balls of flesh and web and mucus. I felt them inside, growing, advancing, and evolving.

I had practiced this many times in secret in the last month; I pushed my power into the cocoons. Giving them that extra power they needed to finish their metamorphosis early.

Soon the sound of the sound of a breaking cocoon, which was so tiny only we could hope to hear it, was heard. I saw them come out, saw their mighty wings break and spread. Soon the sound of flapping wings and tiny beating hearts filled the creek .Hundreds and hundreds of butterfly's flew through the air.

Yellows, blacks, blue's, purples, browns and all kinds of colors danced in the sunlight. I took a hold of Nikki's hands. Her mouth was open, staring at the majesty and glory of them all as they floated around us. There was so many of them, it was as if the wind was going five miles an hour from the power of their wings.

“Stay still,” I told her.

We stood still as statues and soon they covered us. Butterfly's are very skittish creatures, they will only land on you if you stand absolutely still you might be lucky. You might be luckier if you are covered in sweat, Butterfly's love salt.

Luck was on our side. A beam of light hit us and we began to sparkle. Seeing her covered in butterflies and seeing her sparkle was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life, human or vampire.

“How did you do that? “she asked so quietly her lips barely moved.

“I have been practicing. I figured since I could use my power to track others without touching them maybe I could heal or kill without touching. You know all those hours I spent in the basement?”

“Yeah, I thought you were doing some boy things or needed some privacy.”

“Well I was practicing. Didn't you think it was odd all those butterflies kept on showing up inside the house?”

“So it was you?”

“Yep. I have been planning this for a while.”

“How far do you have to be to someone to drain them?” she asked.

“About several feet.”

“Jack this is amazing,” she said.

“I know. I no longer need to touch someone to heal or kill them.”

“I was referring to the butterfly effect, but yeah that's cool too,” she said.

I kissed her, the butterflies flew off, frightened by the sudden movement.

“Are you sure you want me Nikki? Because once you have me you can never get rid of me,” I said.

“I have never been surer of anything in my life Jack. I know things may get tough down the road. But I know we are meant to be. I think you need someone to love you, someone who will tell you when to stop, someone who must tell you when you are being too cruel, or too mean. I want to be that person.”

We hugged one another. My eyes burned. I was so happy. I had been so afraid she would reject me.

We walked over to a tree and laid down against it. A patch of sunlight shined on us and made us sparkle. Nikki leaned next to me, laying her head on my shoulder. We sat there, sparkling, watching the butterfly's float around us.

In that moment....I knew true inner peace.

October sixteenth

Nikki P.O.V

“You are a major asshole you fucking son of a whore!” I screamed at Jack.

“Oh what so you like having a bunch of guys flirty with you, acting like a whore!” he screamed back at me.

I growled. “You little prick!”

Everyone was around us. Bella had taken Nessie to the cottage to sleep. I wouldn't be surprised if they could hear us all the way there.

“That is enough!” Jasper said firmly, a wave of calm hit us.

“You will not address one another like that, understand?”

“Yes,” we both said.

I was still pissed at Jack. But Jasper was doing a good job at keeping us calm though we still glared at one another.

“Alright, let’s all sit down and talk about this,” Esme said. “There is no need for name calling; we are all mature adults here.”

We both glared at her. “Whoops, sorry,” she said with a gentle smile.

We all sat down on the couches. The whole family was involved now. Alice, Rose and Esme sat with me. The boys sat with Jack.

“Now, what happened?” Carlisle asked.

I started. “Well as you know me, Jack, Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett went to the skating rink in Seattle.”

“How was it for you?” Carlisle asked.

“It was kind of tough but Jasper really helped,” I said giving Jasper a thank you smile. “Anyway so we are having fun, skating and dancing to the music. Well we all split up, Emmett and Jasper went to go play laser tag-”

“Which I won,” Emmett said with a proud smile.

“Emmett,” Esme chastised.

I continued. “Well I and the girls were hanging out when some boys came over and started flirting with us. It was this older guy and his kid brother. We were being nice and talking back until Jack saw and threw a fit and came this close to exposing us,” I said.

“Well I see you flirting with some little punk what am I supposed to do?” Jack asked.

“You grabbed him by his throat, lifted him the air, hissed like a monster and when his brother tried to stop you, you pushed him back so hard he went flying ten feet,” I said.

“We had to pry him off the kid,” Rose said coming to my aid. “And now we are forbidden from ever coming back to the rink.”

“Jack, that was very irresponsible of you,” Carlisle said sounding reproachful.

“He had no business flirting with her,” Jack said crossing his arms like a petulant child. Which he is by the way.

I stood up and glared at him, putting my hands on my hips. “I can take care of myself Jack and he was harmless, did you really think I was going to leave you for him or something?”

“You are such a hypocrite!” Jack said standing up. “How come you can be over protective and I can't?”

“What are you talking about? I have never been over protective,” I said.

“Bullshit, when we went to the movies that one time, those girls were giving me the eye and you went right up to them and said if they kept looking at me you would rip their heads off and we had to leave before we got to see the movie.”

I felt a flood of embarrassment flood me. “That was different. I could hear them whispering about you.”

“And I heard him with you, you had him wrapped around your finger and you barely spoke back.”

“I didn't want to be rude; he just came up to me to talk.”

“If it had been me and some girl was talking to me and flirting you would have had a major meltdown!”

“You are over reacting!”

“I am not, I am your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend. You are lucky if I will even let you leave the house without me being there with you, seeing how you can't help but attract boys.”

“Excuse me? You do not own me.” I raised my hand and showed him my palm, wiggling my fingers. “I don't see a ring on this finger.”

He got this dark and thoughtful look on his face. Alice tensed next to me, a look of horror dawned on her face. “No! Jack Bartholomew Whitelock don't you dare, not like this!”

Before I could inquire what she was talking about Jack put his hand into his pocket and pulled something out. He grabbed my hand and put something right on my ring finger.

“Well we'll have to change that won't we,” he said.

He let go of my hand and a golden wedding ring with a jade diamond rested on my ring finger. I stared at it, my mouth hanged open. My eyes must have been bugging out of my face. The room was silent, no one breathed. I just stared. It was like the whole world's focus was on the ring on my finger.

“Jack,” I croaked. “What is this?”

“It's a ring.”

“I know why the hell is it on my finger? My ring finger? The finger a woman should only wear a ring when they are getting married?”

“Because.” he bent down on one knee and I felt like I was about to faint. Is that possible for a vampire? “I was wondering if you would like to make this legal and all ceremonial and stuff. Will you marry me?”

“Oh Jack, what kind of proposal is that?” Alice said rubbing her face in shame.

“Wha-what? I mean. This is....Jack, this is a proposal.”

“Yes.”

“A wedding proposal.”

“I know.”

“You are asking me to marry you.”

“Yes.”

“After we just got into a huge fight and called each other all sorts of ungodly names and made a huge scene in front of the family?”

“Yeah, seemed like a good way to cool the atmosphere.”

I stared at him in disbelief. Was this really happening? Was I really being proposed to?

I had forgotten all about how angry I had been at him for the stunt he pulled at the rink, replaced by this immense feeling of disbelief and shock.

He was still kneeling on the ground. How long had I been staring at the ring? It seemed like an eternity.

“So what do you say?” he asked, his face a mask of calm.

“Why are you asking me this?”

“Not exactly what I wanted to hear. But to answer your question I am asking you because I love you and I want to do the whole wedding thing with you.”

“But you’re twelve,” I said.

“Biologically yes, but I turned thirteen four months ago. I have been a vampire for little over a year now. We have been going out for seven month's but I know we were meant to be together.”

“But we fight like cats and dogs,” I said.

“So. Don't we make up after every fight?”

“Yes?”

“Do you love me?”

“Of course.”

“Well good because I love you too.”

“But were so young.”

“Nikki, we're immortal, we won't get any older than this.”

I looked into his eyes; I saw the need and the determination in them. “You are serious? You really want to marry me?”

“Yes, I do.”

I looked from him then to the ring, then to the other Cullens. They all had the same anxious look on their face, waiting for an answer.

I thought of it. Weren't we already like a married couple? We fought sure, but we always made up. We had made so many good memories already. What would getting married change?

Nothing and everything.

“Yes,” I said.

The quiet atmosphere snapped and there was a rush of sounds. Jack jumped up and wrapped his arms around me hugging me, I hugged him back. I put my right hand onto his head, feeling his lovely hair in his hair. I buried my face in his neck as he swung me around so fast I was sure we were a blur. Or own little tornado of love.

He put me down and I pulled back to look at him, he looked so happy. More happy then I have ever seen him.

The others crowded around us. Hugging us, laughing, clapping us on the backs.

Alice glared at Jack. “That was the worst proposal ever Jack,” she said sternly.

“Well, I figured better now than never,” he said shrugging his shoulders.

“You should have done it sooner.”

“Sooner? Jack how long have you been planning to ask me?” I asked him.

“A few months. I was never able to get the guts to ask you though.”

“He was driving me crazy!” Alice said. “One minute he would decide and I would see how happy you would be and the wedding, then he would lose his nerve and decide not to and I was going crazy!”

I looked to Jasper. “Did you know?”

“Of course, Jack told me. He came to me months ago asking advice,” Jasper said.

“I couldn't decide if it was too soon or not,” Jack said. “But when I saw that little prick hitting on you I realized I was going to be the only one who hits on you. Plus the anger really helped give me the nerve to ask you.”

“Well, if you want me to marry you, you have to do something for me.”

“Oh come on you already said yes,” he said.

“Please, for me?”

He sighed. “Okay what?”

Ten years later

Jack P.O.V

I was back in Oregon now.

I haven't been here for so long; I avoided it like it was the Volturi.

Jasper walked with me. It was just him and me; the others were back in Nevada. Waiting for us to return for the wedding.

You must be wondering what Nikki asked?

She asked we wait.

I know, ten years waiting to be married, but one of the things you learn as a vampire is time isn't much of an issue.

Nikki still thought even though we were vampires we were too young both as humans and as vampires to be committing to such a big thing. So she asked that we wait. Wait until we were at least both old enough by human standards to get married.

I agreed. Love is about compromise after all.

The first few years of our life had been a bit rough. We were constantly breaking up and getting back together. The wedding had been called off and then put back on so many times no one kept count any more. But we haven't had a fight in over three years now.

Nikki was right in waiting. We were too young and wild to get married. We needed to wait until we were both used to being vampires and had our anger issues under control.

So many things had changed in the last ten years.

Well first, little Nessie is no longer little.

She reached full maturity three years ago. She is all grown up and gorgeous as hell. Her and Jake haven't started dating, they are going through that awkward phase where they look at one another lovingly then look away with blushes on their faces. None of us will be surprised when they do get together.

Bella accepts it. She and Jake were best friends and she wouldn't trust anyone else to look after her baby girl. Edward still grits his teeth about it but Bella had convinced him it is for the best.

I hated that she had to grow up. I am glad Nikki has been here though; watching Nessie grow up was so hard. Dumb I know, but I and she had the bond of being the youngest in the Cullens, being the babies. Then she had to grow up.

She even jokes about me being the little brother now, makes me want to kick her. I envy her now because she can go to a club with the others and not look like she is just some sad kid tagging alone. She can now do all the adult things me and Nikki can't do, at least not in public. Jasper had long ago taught me how to drive cars and motorcycles license or no license.

We had to leave Forks two years after I proposed to Nikki. I could no longer be avoided. People were noticing Carlisle was not aging. Jake stayed behind while the rest of us left, we invited him to come with but he could not leave his home, his friends, his family, his pack. At least not yet.

We all made sure Nessie kept in contact though. She was planning on moving back to her parent’s cottage in a few years. She wanted to have some more fun and see the world a bit more before she went back. I know Jake is counting down the days until she comes back. Bella and Edward brought her to Forks so Jake could visit her a bunch of times.

I was still friends with Seth, Collin and even Brady. Me and him got real close, his dad got so drunk one night the cops had to get involved and he was hauled off to jail. His mom kicked him out of the house, blaming him for his father’s drinking. I invited him to come hang out with me and Nikki.

He accepted. He got permission from Sam, Sam was a bit reluctant but in the end he said yes. He saw Brady needed to get away from La Push. I got the idea from Will, the wolf who like Brady had a drunk dad. The idea was to make a thing for the wolves where they get together and bring their parents so they can all talk about what it is like being a wolf and how it is affecting their lives. It was a good way to give the parents a way to talk about how they felt about their kids running around all furry and clawey.

It seemed to work for his parents for a while, but that's the thing about alcohol, it brings out the worst in everyone. Brady and me talked a lot about his dad's drinking, I traded him horror stories of my own. Pain can be a good way to bond with someone.

It's funny; when you share the same pain with someone it can create such a powerful bond. Because you both know what it is like, because you both know the feeling of it, how it affects you, how it scars you.

So after he was given permission to leave we got Seth and Collin to come with us and we all went on a cross country tour. By us I mean me, Seth, Nikki, Brady and Collin.

We went to California, Texas, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Missouri, we visited all the city's and land marks. That was six years ago. It was a blast. Me and Nikki actually got all three of them drunk. When they passed out we stripped them down to their undies and put them in the same bed. They actually cuddled together in their sleep!

When they woke up and saw they were all in a big cuddly puppy pile in their underwear it was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. Vampires: 1, werewolves: 0.

On a plus after we got back from our cross country tour Brady's parents were waiting for him. Those months he was gone with no contact made them realize they were being shitty parents and decided they needed to accept what he was.

Glad not all parents were assholes. Which brings me to my final point. Why me and Jasper were in Oregon.

We were walking in the woods and I stopped walking. “Jack?” Jasper asked curiously.

“This place....it's so familiar,” I said.

There was this nagging feeling that this place was some place I had been to, a place where something important had happened.

Jasper looked around and realization dawned on his face. “This is where we met for the first time. This is where you became a vampire.”

Was it? I tried to remember something from those human memories, but everything was so fuzzy.

“So this is where I ran into you? Heh, time flies huh?” I asked.

“Jack, I know I have said it many times these last eleven years but I am sorry,” he said.

“Christ will you let it go already. That shit happened like ages ago,” I said rolling my eyes.

His lips curled into a smile. “You have changed more than I thought possible. Once was a time you hated me with every fiber of your being.”

“Once was a time I hated everything with every fiber of my being,” I said.

“Are you happy Jack?” he asked.

“You're the fucking empath you tell me,” I said.

“I know, I sense how happy you are. But I am responsible for you Jack. I brought this on you; all I want is for you to be happy.”

“And happy I am Jasper. Once I and Nikki get this thing done I can finally say that's my wife instead of girlfriend.”

“I hope you know what you are getting yourself into Jack, marriage is a sacred and holy-”

“I swear to Christ if you say one more word about how special marriage is I will drain half of your life-force out,” I growled.

He sighed.

“Look I have had ten years to think about this, I am sure Jasper. Now let’s hurry up and get this done. Lord knows I will be in major emo mode after this.”

We continued to our destination silently. Jasper knew I needed some quiet time for what I was about to do.

Soon the smell of fresh mowed grass and old cement stone and marble filled the air; the area was littered with tombstones. We walked at a human pace to the one I sought. I was in no hurry, but I was in no desire to hold this off.

“I will wait here,” Jasper said, giving me the space I needed.

“Thanks,” I said.

I took a deep breath and headed for the grave marker.

I stood in front of it, not sure why I was here.

“Hello mom. Guess what? I am getting married.”

Fusedtwilight: Bet none of you saw that coming! So I got bad news for all you kin and kindred lovers. Next chapter...will be the last chapter. That's right, we only have ONE more chapter until the story is over.
