The Major and His Mate: Eclipse

The Day of Battle

Sebastian bolted up from the couch he and Jasper were resting on, startling Jasper so bad he fell off the couch. Jasper groaned and sat up, quickly realizing that Sebastian was having a vision. He got up from the floor and sat next to Sebastian carefully, checking that he was alright. A moment or two later, Sebastian blinked back into focus, appreciatively leaning into Jasper's embrace. Jasper brushed his nose up Sebastian's neck, taking in the hints of sandalwood and coconut that was from Sebastian's hygiene products.

Sebastian unwillingly let out a small giggle as he felt Jasper's fingers trail up his ribcage. Immediately, Jasper stopped, realizing that Sebastian was ticklish. Sebastian, sensing what Jasper was thinking about, quickly tried to escape his grasp. He immediately failed as Jasper tightened his grip and started tickling his ribs. As Sebastian started to laugh, Jasper realized that it was one of the few times he had actually heard his mate laugh out of pure joy. And boy, did he want to hear more.

Jasper couldn't exactly describe Sebastian's laugh. It was like a river, the fluctuations from low to high were entrancing. There was also a sense of bell-like quality to it, not in a tinkling wind chime like Alice's, but more like the large bass bells one would hear from a cathedral bell tower. It was something that Jasper could and yet couldn't describe, other than it was Sebastian. After a while of tickling and Sebastian futilely trying to get away, Jasper relented. The couple was laid out on the couch with Jasper on top of Sebastian, who gently held him so he wouldn't topple over.

"Hi." Jasper whispered.
"Hi." Sebastian replied.
"Is there a way for Vadim to come out? I'd like to talk to him and you if I can."
"Sure."

Sebastian sat up, moving Jasper to sit sideways on his lap. Jasper watched as one of Sebastian's eyes turned red, signifying that Vadim had made his appearance. He adjusted himself, not noticing that both Sebastian and Vadim had noticed his position.

"It's nice to see you again, Vadim." Jasper addressed.
"Nice to see you too, Love." Vadim replied.

Jasper slightly jumped at hearing Vadim's voice. He then realized that Vadim had been using Sebastian's voice when they spoke the day before. Sebastian and Vadim's voices were both deep and rich, with a bit of an authoritative undertone. The biggest difference was that Sebastian's voice had a slight breathy croon to it while Vadim had more of a growl.

"What was the vision you two just had?" Jasper asked.
"It was about the battle. Our visions show us pretty much all potential possibilities that could happen today." Sebastian answered.
"Are any of them bad?" Jasper questioned.
"Some." Vadim replied vaguely.
"Are either of you gonna tell me?"
"No." Sebastian and Vadim stated.
"Just thought I'd ask."
"Fair." Vadim stated.
"Is it hard on the vocal cords switchin like that?"
"Not really, since the both of us speak at about the same range of pitch." Sebastian said.
"I see. How are you both feeling?"
"Excited, nervous, scared, vengeful." Vadim described.
"Any update from the pack?"
"They're ready and waiting, Jake was with Edward and Bella last night. He'll switch with Seth when the fight starts."

Jasper nodded, then curled up in Sebastain's lap, closing his eyes as he did. He felt Sebastian or Vadim start to caress his hair and shift slightly, trying to get comfortable. Then, he felt what seemed like a tongue go up his throat. His eyes jerked open, and was met with the sight of Vadim sucking a hickey right onto his throat. He gulped, and Vadim let out a chuckle as he relinquished control back to Sebastian. Sebastian jerked up and let out a huff as he saw what his counterpart did to their mate. An airy laugh escaped Jasper as he patted Sebastian's shoulder reassuringly. They sat for a moment before getting ready.

Sebastian decided to go for a tactical look that gave him as unrestricted movement as he could have. A black compression shirt was put on, followed by a pair of black tapered tactical pants. Black tactical boots followed over a pair of long black socks. He completed his outfit with a cowled stealth camo army jacket that could be easily taken off if the moment arose. Jasper kept the dark theme with a dark blue long sleeve, black pants, black sneakers, and a lightweight black windbreaker.

"You ready?" Jasper asked.
"No, not really." Sebastian replied.

The couple left their room and met up with the family and wolves. Carlisle nodded towards them and then turned towards the other side of the field. Soon enough, Sebastian and Alice suddenly inhaled, and the newborns came running in hissing, looking for Bella. Sebastian growled in challenge and looked to Jasper to charge. Jasper and Carlisle nodded, and the battle began.
