The Human Countess {J. Hale}

Confrontation

Hey! Thank you for the 2k reads! You all are absolute angels and I'm incredibly grateful.

Warning: Swear words and slight smut. 

Athens, Greece, 2020

Isabella Marie Cullen loved immortality. However, she loved power even more. She relished the power she had over the Cullens. If it had been possible, she would've joined the Volturi. But she had chosen Edward, because him and his family were easier to control. However, the arrival of Jasper's mate had broken her control over them. 

The thought made her livid, so she decided to take her revenge, visiting the one person she knew could help. 

Knocking at the door in front of her, she hitched on a fake smile. As much as she hated dealing with him, he was the only one that could help.

Gold met piercing blue and the next thing Bella knew, she had been pulled inside, her back against the door, clothes off and the owner of the piercing blue eyes snogging and shagging the hell out of her, moans, groans and curse words spewing out of their mouths that would make a sailor blush. 

"Hello, Valentin." She purred at him breathlessly once they were done their seventh round, her voice loud at the quiet room that they had migrated to after their third. However, the man, Valentin, ignored her and proceeded to pound into her, continuing their sexcapade into their eighth round.

She may hate dealing with him, but sex with him is too good, something she will never say no to.

Yasinya, Ukraine, 2020

Caitlyn left the living room and went to the balcony, holding a warm mug of cocoa while wrapping her wings around her as an effort to keep herself warm.

Not that it works, of course, since the cold does not affect a divine being the same way the human soul is.  She left to gave the Cullen Patriarch and her best friend some time to talk, opting to have some time for herself to organise her thoughts, something she always do after a mission.

She stared at the lake that's reflecting the Northern Lights, her mind swirling with different topics, ignoring the sound of the glass sliding door opening behind her. 

"What are you doing out here in the cold?" The newcomer said, breaking the peaceful silence that she so craved at the moment. 

"Thinking. It's been a while since I was able to enjoy peace like this." She replied politely, her voice riddled curiosity. Why is he talking to her? In her mind, he had no reason to. She looked at her best friend and glared at her when Eliza raised her right hand and pointed at her pinky, ignoring the hope that bloomed in her heart at the idea of a mate. Ignoring her train of thoughts, he asked her questions, wanting to know her better. She humoured him, asking him questions in return, finding herself interested as seconds ticked by. 

"What does it mean to be a Demonized Power? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Edward finally asked five minutes later, his curiosity getting the best of him. She looked at him, her right brow raised, before answering. 

"Well, in simple terms, I'm a weapon. In more complex terms, I'm the divine being that the Higher Ups to fix loose ends. The Devil sends me to finish off rouge demons that breaks protocol and his rules. Jehovah sends me to deal with Angels and take them back to be punished by the Seraphims, Jesus and Jehovah. Sometimes, I help my friend, Than, reap souls. Sometimes, I take care of the superna  Sometimes But, I and my parents, as well as others that are in the same predicament as us, like a soulmate from the...ah other team, are in complete neutrality in any Divine war that would occur." She explained to him. 

"Jehovah?" He asked as his mind tried to digest the information he was given. 

"Jehovah is God's name. He has given it to us for us to use, therefore I shall use it." She didn't even blink when Edward's mood changed rather quickly. Inside the house, Jasper jumped up to try and prevent Edward from doing something wrong or to say something stupid. He was held back by Eliza, saying that this was something Edward needed to hear. They all continued to talk in the living room, acting as if they weren't listening in. 

"A God? There's a God out there that created a soulless monster like me? There's a God out there that creates a monster that kills to live?" Edward said, his heart full of distress and bitterness that he didn't even realise that he couldn't hear anyone's thoughts. His feelings abruptly changed to shock when she just rolled her eyes. 

"You are Jehovah's creation, and he created everything for a reason, and your species is to prevent overpopulation." She replied, not bothered by the change of mood in the least. 

"I'm a killer." He spat as soon as he recovered from his shock.

"So am I." She spat back. She continued on, not waiting for his reply. 

"I've killed too. Angels. Demons. Humans. Vampires. Shifters. I've killed. You forgot, I may be an Angel but I'm also a Demon. I need blood to live. I have to kill to live. But I have to deal with that. I'm not going to change that anytime soon. My actions all have led me to who I am today and I'm not going to regret anything nor will I let myself regret it. This is who I am. I am who I am." She said crossing her arms, her wings guarding her, making her look intimidating. Sensing his shock, she continued speaking, berating him and his family. 

"You are vampires, created to stop overpopulation. You drinking from humans is natural. You are denying your instinct and your nature by drinking animal blood. It's fine, of course, because it's your choice." She said before turning her back on him with the intent of going to the library. 

"I'm a monster. That is not natural" He spat angrily at her. She froze before she turned her whole body to look at him, her lips curled in a snarl, the feathers of her wings ruffling in anger, her eyes blazing in anger.

"You are a fucking coward. Your species is natural, but what isn't is your cowardice. You are too much of a coward to accept yourself and what you've done. You've killed, so what? Fucking accept it. It's done, there's nothing you could do to change that. Accept it and learn from it. Your actions led to who you are today. Pull your head out of your ass an d move the fuck on. You're a grown man and Renesmee, from the five minutes that I spoke with her, is way more mature than you." She said before leaving angrily, ignoring the silence that now enveloped the living room. 

Jasper spoke a few minutes later, confused and intrigued. 

"What she said, about vampires being natural and their purpose, is that true?" He asked, his question directed to Eliza. She answered, sending  a sad smile to Carlisle. 

"Yes, it is. Vampires were created to prevent overpopulation. You were meant to be nomads, moving from one place to the next, regulating the population. However, most of you have migrated to Europe, The Amazons and Northern America, chose the Animal Diet or hid in the shadows that the population has not been controlled at all. It's the reason why us Immortal Humans had been given the privilege of Immortality for the price of human blood." She said solemnly, knowing their aversion to the human blood diet. 

Excusing herself when Edward walked back in, she let them ponder over their thoughts for a while, and decided to look and accompany her bestfriend instead, wanting to know about her most recent mission.

Hello, Everyone. 

Forgive me for the wait. I've been looking for ways to introduce the Volturi and Valentin into the storyline. That and the amount of reading I've been doing made me lose my sense of time. 

I'm truly sorry for the wait. I hope you like it! 

Let me know what your thoughts are. 

Love, Roannie
