The Flower and Major

Part 34

"They're here." Alice and I say together after the Wolves disappeared into the forest with an injured Jacob.

I quickly made my way to Jasper standing in his arms. He pressed a kiss to my forehead.

"It appears you've done our work for us." A child-like voice says.

From the mist emerges a blonde girl, a brunette boy, a burly brunette man, and a man with blondish hair.

"Impressive." The girl says. "I've never seen a coven escape an assault of this magnitude intact."

"We were lucky." Carlisle says.

"I doubt that." The girl says boredly.

"It appears we missed an entertaining fight." The boy says.

"Yes." The girl agrees. "It's not often we're rendered unnecessary."

"If you'd arrived a half hour ago, you would've fulfilled your purpose." Edward says.

"Pity." The girl says before turning to the newborn. "You missed one."

"We offered her asylum in exchange for her surrender." Carlisle says.

"That wasn't yours to offer." The girl says. "Why did you come?"

My eyes widen as the girl started screaming bloody murder. I can't stand this.

Stop. I thought. She shall live and you all will forget about her after you leave.

"Who created you?" The girl asked.

"I don't know, Riley wouldn't tell us." The girl whimpered. "He said our thoughts weren't safe."

"Her name was Victoria." Edward says. "Perhaps you knew her."

"Edward if the Volturi had knowledge of Victoria, they would've stopped her. Isn't that right, Jane?" Carlisle spoke.

"Of course." She says. "She shall live. Caius will be interested to know that they're still human."

"That dates are set." Bella stated.

Jane simply nodded turning with the others taking their leave. Once they were far enough away Edward turned to me.

"You saved her life." He says.

"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked.

"She was using compulsion." He says. "They will forget about Bree thanks to Lily."

I hurriedly climb out of Bella's truck with her. We were at Jake's house. I rushed to Uncle Billy climbing into his lap. He held me close trying not to cry. I kissed his cheek gingerly.

"I should have seen it earlier." I whimpered. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault." He says gently. "It's not your fault."

It was the day before Jasper and I's wedding. We were laying in my bed kissing. I pulled on his hair gently as he sucked a hickey into my neck.

"Jasper." I giggled. "Alice is going to kill you."

"My phone started to ring. I sighed reaching to my nightstand grabbing it. It was Angela. I took a deep breath before answering it.

"Hey, Angela." I say smacking at Jasper.

"He broke up with me." Angela sobbed. "He got angry that I wouldn't put out and said it was pointless to date me."
