The Whitlock Twins (Bella and Edward Story)

Chapter 9: The News

Bella's POV
  "Garret what are ya doin here", I asked just out of courisoty. "Jasper I have some bad news. This will affect the whole coven", Garret said. "What is it Garret?", Jaz asked. " I will tell you, all of you, but you, Peter, and Char must remain calm", Garret said. Jaz nodded along with the rest of them. I got that this was not going to be good.

  "Jasper, Maria is coming for you", Garret said. I looked over to Chance. He was frozen along with Peter and Char. The realization hit me. The bitch that had made Chance's life a living hell was after him. I felt my eyes go dark and Izzy was out.

Izzy's POV
  A growl ripped out of me knowing that my brother and mate were in danger. "Izzy, she is comin' after you also", Garret said. I looked at him. I didn't care about my self, as long as my brother and mate were safe. Jasper was pulled out of his trance by the amount of anger and protectiveness I had toward them. "Izzy, we can take care of our selves", Jasper said trying to calm me down. "Damn right you will be safe. You will not be anywhere near that BITCH!", I roared. Jasper tried to calm me down, but his gift was not working on me. I saw my mate walk up to me and lay a hand on my shoulder. I calmed down enough that I wasn't yelling, but not enough to bring back Bella. "Izzy I have been taking care of myself for long enough.", Jasper said. "I don't care Jasper. I will protect my family. My whole family. Now that I have you back, you will not be taken away from us again", I said raging, "We will not fail mama. Not again". When the sorrow Bella felt toward the end of my phrase was enough for her to shove her way back through.

Bella's POV
   As soon as I am back, I dry sob. All the sorrow that had been locked up inside of me from that very day had been realised when Izzy stated that she even thought she had let down mama.
 
   Edward picked me up and held me while I sobbed. The pain on his and Jaz's face was almost unbearable. I knew what Edward was wondering, but I was too cought up in my emotions to do anything. I knew that Jaz would tell it. He knew the story and what my emotions were.

Jasper's POV
  As soon as Bella came back I could tell she was going to have a break down. Without Izzy in the front she would be a mess. I could of course feel all of Bella's sorrow, regret, self- hatred among others, but I felt confusion with Edward along with others. A twinge of reassurance was sent my way and I knew who it was from. I looked at Bella and she nodded her head once. "I know most of you are confused. I along with possibly Peter and Char know what happened. When Izzy killed our parents, Bella hated herself for years. She thought of her self as worthless and nothing but a murdering machine. Izzy had never even once regretted killing our parents. Well until right now. When she said this, all of those emotions of self- hatred and all the others cane back to the surface and smacked her in the face per say. Now something like this has happened before and it was horrible. She had closed everyone out including me for a time. She voided herself of emotions and isolated herself from everyone. She thought no one would ever love her. She even once tried to end it all once, but I caught her in the act. These feelings are being brought up once again, so prepare yourself. This will not be an easy time for her", I said giving my speech. I could feel her graditude toward me. It was then replaced by self- hatred.

  For the next several days had gone exactly how I had predicted. Bella had closed her self off from everyone except for Edward and I. She had not hunted for a good week, when she had collapsed on the floor in her room when only she was home. I had completely forgotten that Bella could feel what I felt when the self hatred towards myself sunk in. I had blamed myself for not helping Bella.

  I heard a door open from upstairs, but thought it was Edward, until I realized he was sitting beside me. Then I heard it. "JASPER WHITLOCK! Don't you dare think this is your fault", I heard Bella yell from upstairs. I got up and ran to her. Engulfing her in a huge hug. I haven't given anyone a hug like that since I had last seen Bella.

  "Jaz. None of this is your fault. I don't care what you say", Bella said with authority. "Bella we are twins for crying out loud. I am suppose to support you and help you through any type of situation. I have done nothing to help you. I am the most pathetic excuse for a brother, or a twin", I said, the last sentence in a hushed whisper. "Jaz you have been the best brother in the world. You may not have been there the whole time, but you were in my heart. You were the one to get me though so many tough situations. You were my life line, and still are", Bella said getting ready to cry again. I hugged her again, both of us crying knowing that we were each other's support system along with our mates of course.

I didn't know how this fight with Maria was going to go but, one thing I did know was when Maria comes, she better be prepared. If it is a fight she wants, a damn good one she is going to get.
