The Human Countess {J. Hale}

Plans

Warning: Swear words

Yasinya, Ukraine, 2020

Eliza met Isabella half a day go and she already doesn't like the girl. No, she absolutely despises the girl.

So far, Isabella had managed to shift Jane's anger to her, Sulpicia, who is a sweet woman despite Aro's vindictive ways, sneered at her over a dozen times, and Marcus, who had been blank faced the entire time he has been seen with an emotion that is found to be irritation on his face.

With the truth behind the bonds that connects the Cullens together, Eliza decided to use their abilities to her advantage. Thinking carefully, she formed a plan in her head, making sure to cover all her bases and consider all possibilities. Eliza looked around her, she saw Alice nod at her after coming out of a trance, agreeing with her.

Eliza decided to set her plans in motion today, when the least amount of people was in the house. She walked into the kitchen to find an angry Feronia sitting beside Isabella who is flirting with an annoyed Stefan. Ignoring the immature child, she addressed her brother and his mate.

"Stefan, Feronia, in the library please. Aro's waiting." She said seriously, raising her brow when Isabella glared at her.

"Excuse me, can't you see we were talking? How dare you interrupt? Who do you think you are?" The manipulative brunette all but screamed.

"Do not use that tone on me, girl. And to answer your questions, one, yes I did see, I just don't care because I need to talk to them over something important, unlike the useless chatter you are doing. Second, yes, I dare interrupt because you are under my roof. And third, I am the head of the Bathory Family, and Stefan is my younger brother, hence he is under my guardianship, and Feronia is his fiancée, and will be under my guardianship in under a month. So unless you want a fight, I suggest you watch yourself, correct your tone and hold your tongue." Eliza told Isabella, shutting the girl up long enough for them to slip away.

----------------------

"So, I need your help." Eliza said as soon as she had locked the door.

"What's your plan?" The mated pair said simultaneously, a grin gracing their faces, while a smirk can be found on Eliza and Aro's faces.

-----------------------

Their plan began with a nod from Stefan when they are all congregated in the living room. She took a small, muted breath before speaking in her head, directing it at the bronze-haired vampire.

'Do not react, Edward. It is crucial that you do not show any reactions to my words at all, and what is about to happen next.' Eliza thought while keeping her conversation with Jasper going.

'Stefan will be amplifying your ability in a way that will allow you to connect our minds. That said, he will also amplify that girl's mind shield, strengthening it temporarily  so she won't be able to hear anything in her mind at all.' She continued, nodding back at her brother. She spoke again when her brother nodded back at her.

'Do not show any outward reactions. This is Eliza, and we are connected through Edward's brain after being amplified by Stefan. Whoever can hear me, please think your name.' Eliza thought as she stood up to get herself a drink. Everyone else but Isabella replied, and Eliza found herself pleased at the results. After checking with Feronia, who used a copied ability of hers to make sure that Isabella couldn't hear a thing in her mind or in person, Eliza went on to explain what she plans on doing.

'Feronia was able to copy Isabella's shield. This afternoon, we examined it's intricacies and was able to find ways around it. Using Stefan's abilities, we amplified Edward's mind reading capabilities towards Isabella, using their marriage bond to our advantage and tying his ability to it. It is permanent until their bond gets broken. From now on, Edward will be able to clearly hear Isabella's thoughts no matter the distance, so long as they are still married. It is independent, and does not need constant focusing.' Jane glanced at Eliza when she walked back into the living room before asking a question.

'Why didn't you just turn off her ability?' Her question was answered by Feronia, who had seen and felt the mental shield.

'We didn't want to risk it. Considering that she has been using that ability all the time, she could be highly in tune with it already. If Eliza turns it off, there is the possibility of her feeling it, and would disrupt the plan. We'll keep that up our sleeves for now.'

Choosing to keep their questions until later, they all waited until Edward projected her thoughts, just to make sure that the bounding had worked. Although, they did not expect the current thoughts she had. Thoughts that made Eliza's blood boil in anger. 

'Hmm, I need to get with Stefan. Maybe I can manipulate him into overthrowing that useless bitch.' 

'Why the fuck is the Volturi backing the bitch up. It's not like she's anyone special. I deserve their respect more. I'm the only one that can keep people out of my head, something I'm quite happy with. Imagine if my freakish husband found out about that.'

'Oh I hate Valentin but sex is great with him.'

'Ugh, why did I birth to that disappointment. Her only use was to keep Jacob around. He may not like me but he's great for fantasies.' 

'Oh how I want to end this little bitch myself.' Sulpicia said, making Caius snort and Aro laugh out loud at his wife's bloodlust. Sulpicia laughed with him, ignoring Isabella's questioning looks. 

'End the dependent amplifications on Edward. She makes my blood boil and I will end her if she continues to think that way. Edward, I'm so sorry you had to be with that ugly bitch.' Eliza said as she stood up and verbally announced that she is heading off to bed, taking note of the eye-roll that Isabella sent her. 

'Oh I can't wait until she starts to fall.' Eliza thought as she walked to her room with a predatory grin.
