My Path To You

Chapter 11:
When I went to lay my choices on the bed, I found Carlisle and Jasper picking out a strapless bra and boyshort set from my drawers for me. I smiled at that, then giggled as they chose to ogle me as I dressed.
Jasper knelt down behind me while I was slipping my boyshorts up my thighs, then playfully bit my ass before smacking it. I groaned in response, which caused them both to chuckle.
Seconds later, Char smacked her hand on the door while calling, “Enough, boys. You’ve sexed your human mate to the point where I can hear her stomach growling all the way in the kitchen. Give the poor girl a chance to eat her finished breakfast before you mount her again.”
I laughed loudly at Carlisle and Jasper both scowling toward the door, then promised in a whisper, “Soon, my mates. I rather enjoy the two of you mounting me, and can’t wait to see what you come up with next time, but I truly do need to eat.”
They both looked at me with understanding, then helped me finish dressing while I called, “Give us two minutes to dress, Char. Meet you at the kitchen bar.”
Once we were all dressed, we started making our way from the room when I realized I didn’t have my phone in my back pocket. I told them to go on ahead, then hurried to grab my phone from the nightstand.
On the way to the kitchen, while passing the front doors, I happened to spy the dreaded boulder through the window. Before I could even think about what I was doing, I was out the door, my emotions making me see red. I barely registered Peter’s scream of, “Fuck, Major… grab her, now! Before she hurts herself!” when I was only feet from the boulder.
Before I could take another step, Major and Carlisle surrounded me. I screamed as I tried to squirm out of their embrace, “Let me at it! Fuck! Damn it, you two, let me go!”
Major growled as they both tightened their hold on me, then Captain came to grab my chin between his fingers, “I know… I know how it feels, Bella, but you aren’t strong enough until they change you. Stop and think for a minute. You can’t go punching and kicking the damn boulder right now, Cupcake, ‘cuz the only damage done would be to yourself. If you were vamped up right now, that’d be a different story. I’d be right up there on the porch cheering you on. I know you’re angry, probably seeing red right now you’re so pissed, but you’ve gotta let one of us destroy the boulder for you.”
The fight left me, knowing he was right, then I heard both my mates letting out a relieved breath as I turned enough in their hold to look at Char. I could still feel all the anger inside me, though the red haze was gone when I practically growled as I stared into Char’s eyes, “Pulverize it. Leave nothing but dust when you’re done. Promise me.”
With a nod of her head and a, “Swear it, Sweet Pea,” Char came down the porch steps headed straight for the boulder. She methodically rubbed her hand along the side with writing, which filed away all of the crude message, then I got the most brilliant idea.
Major quirked an eyebrow at my change of emotions, but I smiled innocently as I called to Char, “Instead of pulverizing, Char, I have something else for you to do.”
Peter barked out a loud laugh, then nodded, “She’s good, Major. Let her do this.”
I nodded my thanks, then whispered almost inaudibly in Char’s ear when I reached her. She laughed out as she hugged me, “Fucking perfect. Major, your mate is brilliant.”
She immediately started scratching at the stone surface with a concentrated look on her face, and the result when she was done was more perfect than I had ever imagined. Now, instead of Victoria’s sick joke on the boulder, there was a promise of my own. A stick figure drawing of me near a blazing fire was scratched into the stone surface, a bodiless head in one hand, and body parts sticking out of the flames of the fire. Above my head was a clear ‘B’, while there were lines pointing to the body parts and head from a ‘V’ at the top center. Underneath, in large scratched lettering, it said, “Have fun in Hell, Bitch. Time to finish this. Come catch me if you can.”
Major immediately growled, then looked to me, “Isabella, explain.”
I shook my head, then promised in my emotions as I breathed softly, “Our terms, Major. We’re done fucking around, and she dies on our terms. I’m safe with my mates and family, and I have the place to keep me that way while you guys take her out. We’ll finish nailing down details once we’re inside, but I unfortunately need Victoria to think I scratched all that in with Carlisle’s dismembered hand, so she doesn’t catch on to us having back up.”
Recognition lit in his obsidian eyes, then he looked to Carlisle. “You need to deeply cut your hand, then make sure your venom is covering the surface of the stone. Just know that I’ll let you feel none of the pain, and I will be healing the cut after this is done. Isabella, go in and grab a shirt that’s swimming in your scent, but you don’t mind not wearing again.”
I hurried to do as he said, saying to Captain on my way up the porch steps, “My gloves are in the garage on the workbench. Give them to Char to use.”
Not a minute later, I came back out with one of my favorite old shirts, telling Char as she donned the gloves, “Make sure you rub every visible part of the stone with this, so it works both mine and Carlisle’s scent in, but erases yours and Peter’s. Don’t let your body or clothes touch.”
She grinned widely, nodded to me, then we both watched as Carlisle sliced a fingernail from his right hand into the entire width of his left palm. Immediately he was tightening and releasing his fist methodically over the surface of the boulder, making sure to place more than enough over the drawing itself. Major called after several minutes, “Enough, Carlisle. You’ve lost more venom than a body can hold over the last couple of days.”
His eyes were dark and stormy, though he only pulled Carlisle to him, then tenderly licked the wound closed. I let out a breath at their embrace, then looked to see Char’s gloved hand using my shirt to rub Carlisle’s venom into the stone. She was done in only minutes, then looked to Peter. He nodded, “She’s nowhere close. I’ll go with you to make sure, but it’s safe for now. Major, we’re gonna go place this back in its original spot, then be right back. Make sure you give Doc a couple of blood bags to help heal… and it wouldn’t hurt for you to top off, either.”
They were gone in the next second, Char carrying the large boulder out away from her, as Major guided both me and Carlisle into the house. He didn’t calm at all until he had checked Carlisle’s palm again, heated him a bag of blood, and watched him start drinking. Then, with a nod and nuzzle to both Carlisle and me, he returned to the microwave to heat his own blood.
They were both finished when Peter and Char met us in the downstairs lounge. They smiled at our curled up position on the couch, then Peter offered, “Good to go, Major. Cupcake’s plan will work.”
He plopped down in one of the chairs, then pulled Char to sit in his lap before nuzzling her neck. Major chuckled, then shook his head, “Alright, you cryptic fucker, spill it.”
Peter laughed as he shrugged, “Not my plan, Major. Ask Sweet Pea. I just know it works. Needs a tiny tweak or two, but it works.”
Major looked to me, so I bit my lip before saying, “We draw her in… make her come on the grounds, then box her in. The pack says she’s slippery and evasive, plus Carlisle himself said he couldn’t gain the upper hand with her, so we need to cut off her escape routes. She can’t use anything inside the perimeter wall to help her get back out, since there’s nothing close enough to use, nor can she jump high enough on her own to get over the wall height. After that, it’s up to you guys. I hate to say it, but I think you three need to be outside the house when this all goes down, while Carlisle is in the safe room with me. He’s still not completely healed, and our boulder message just resulted in him losing even more venom.”
Carlisle frowned, but eventually nodded before saying, “Bella is right, Major. I would only be a distraction for you out there. We can lock down the house once Victoria shows and takes the bait, as soon as you three are outside. I will put a few blood bags in a cooler, then take Bella and the cooler into the safe room with me. We can keep track from there, and possibly make our own distractions through the surveillance system to help you out.”
Major gave Carlisle a nod, then looked to Peter, who immediately said, “Like I said before... it works. Cupcake isn’t harmed if we do it this way. If this goes down outside the property, no matter where it happens, Cupcake needs to be changed in a hurry. It’s bad, Major… real bad.”
Major’s obsidian eyes landed on me again, then he stroked my cheek before saying, “Lets look at the security measures again and plan out the details. I won’t let this bitch have a chance to flee, Captain, once she’s inside the wall.”
The next few hours were full of ideas, running through scenarios, planning, and double checking camera views. Everyone seemed pleased with our combined efforts, and a solid plan was put into place for when Victoria showed up.
When I went to lay my choices on the bed, I found Carlisle and Jasper picking out a strapless bra and boyshort set from my drawers for me. I smiled at that, then giggled as they chose to ogle me as I dressed.
