Chapter 18: The Plan
After crying for about two straight hours, I finally fell asleep. Last night was exceedingly tiring for me, and my body felt like shit. Jacob spent that night in my house. I woke up in the morning thinking about what happened yesterday was just like a bad dream. When I put my feet on the cold floor, all what I thought that was buried deep down on the bottom of my mind, came crushing down to my present in just one day. I sighed heavily and stretched my body up from the bed. I put my curly hair into a messy ponytail and headed to the bathroom.
No sounds around my house, so my theory that Jacob Black was in my house sounded unbelievable now. I took a long bath, brushed my teeth and dressed myself. I came down the stairs and the smell of maple syrup that filled the air made me stop on my track. James… James is here… I wasn’t alone and that scared the shit out of me. James is dead Victoria. It can’t be him. I told myself. My heart started to beat as fast as it could and I felt like I was drowning.
I tried to walk down the hallway, feeling nauseated and reached around the corner to get into the kitchen but my body wasn’t responding. My ears began to buzz and I was completely lost. This was the worst panic attack I had since James death. I’ve been having those attacks since I started to feel a presence in my house. I knew I was completely alone, but my subconscious worked in a different way, letting me believe that someone was around me all the time.
“Morning…” I heard Jacob saying but I couldn’t find my voice. My head was spinning so hard that I stumbled in my feet and my body hit the floor.
“Victoria!! What’s wrong? Talk to me!!” he yelled at me.
I only looked at him and tried to calm myself down so I could explain him what was happening. After a few more minutes I started to feel better. Jacob helped me to seat on a kitchen stool and I could finally spoke to him.
“Thanks Jake… I hate when that happen” I didn’t recognize my own voice. It sounded husky and grave.
“What the fuck happened to you Victoria?” he asked, staring at me. I felt flustered and couldn’t hold his eyes on mines.
“Panic attack…” I said clearing my throat.
“Feeling ok now?”
“Yes, thanks”
“I made pancakes, so seat down and eat. You may need some food after that…” he said stacking some round and fluffy pancakes into a plate.
“Want some maple syrup?” he asked.
“Yes, please” maybe some sugar intake could do well to me now.
I must say that Jake’s pancakes were delicious. We ate our breakfast in a stony silence. I stood up to wash the dishes and Jacob looked for his phone on his jeans back pocket.
“Are you prepared for this Vic? Are you completely sure to make this?” his voice sounded careful…
“Call them Jake… I will not regret the decision I just had made. This is what I want. And all I want right now is to make Edward Cullen pay for what he did to my family, to James and me…”
Jacob called Rosalie and Jasper as soon as I turned around to dry the dishes. He explained them the plans for our revenge and asked them to come to my house as soon as they could. They agreed to meet us the next morning. Jacob took my car to pick some groceries and other things he needed, so I spent the rest of my day impatiently waiting for Rosalie and Jasper arrival the next morning.
Later that evening, Jake cooked and we had dinner. Then I excused myself to bed right after I finished. My night was almost the same as the last one, the sleep never came and I watched my ceiling all night long.
In the morning, we were watching CNN news when I heard a knocking on the door. Jacob stood up from the couch and he walked to open the door and I was on his heels. Rosalie came inside first and we hugged tighter, I started to cry once again and she kissed my forehead.
“It’s so nice to see you again Victoria” she hugged me back and I did the same. It was really nice to see my family, the people I spent all my time with. I didn’t really figured how much I have missed them. Jasper was standing behind Rosalie and when I turned around, he gave me a hug too. He wasn’t as emotional as her was, but deep down I felt that all the time we had spent together, we were bounding like a real family. Jasper took their luggage to the extra room I prepared for them and Jacob followed the lead, later they both came down. Rosalie seated on the couch by my side.
“What you guys did after the raid?” I asked Rosalie while I put a tray from the kitchen in the coffee table in front of us. I poured English tea in cups and handled one to her. She sipped and stared at me.
“Well, you know the night after all that shit happen; Jasper and I decided to take some days off work. So we headed to Las Vegas looking for a relaxing vacation. I asked Jasper to call you only to know if you guys were doing fine, but you know how he is, so he doesn’t let me talk either. Well, we get to the loft that Jasper rented for us and we did our things, but I still got an awkward feeling that something wasn’t quite right. When Jasper fell asleep, I took my phone and called you, but you didn’t answered. I tried Jake’s and James phones as well, but nothing. Jasper called me to bed again and I turned off the phone so he didn’t noticed that I was calling you guys. In the morning I was feeling even weirder, I was anxious, scared and uneasy all at the same time. So Jasper decided to come back home and check on you guys. But when we arrived, we went first to a hotel to leave our belongings there and Jasper went to the bathroom, so I turned on the TV. And immediately I saw all the operation news and I started yelling to Jasper. He came running and we saw when they were taking out James body from the house” she remained quiet and gave me an apologetic look.
I could feel my eyes filling with tears again, but I shook my head. No more crying… not a single tear was going to fall from my eyes again. I was feeling sick of crying.
“I am sorry for what happened Victoria, we didn’t expect that to occur… not without us… And I’m sorry I wasn’t there when Jasper and Jacob found you and all these past years. That’s why I’m here today. I’m in debt with you.” her eyes fall to her feet.
“I know Rose… I know” I took her hand and gave her a gentle squeeze.
“If we had just stayed at home, nothing all these non sense…”
“Rose, stop. And thank you.”
“About what Vic?” she asked me, raising her eyebrow pouring some butter on toasted bread slides and sipping her tea.
“For giving me the strength to fight” and we embraced each other in a tight hug and got back to the kitchen where Jasper and Jake were waiting for their breakfast.
We ate breakfast around the kitchen island table talking about our lives after the raid when I finally decided to speak out my plan. Last night while I was trying to get some sleep I started to think about what we could do. And I made a plan.
“As we all know, I have a plan to destroy that fucker named Edward Cullen life, like he destroyed mine and ours…” I took a deep breath and stared at each one of them. They were by my side, no doubts about it. I looked at them and gave everyone an assignment.
“Jacob, you’ll be in charge of Isabella Cullen, Edward’s wife. I remembered that you were salivating like a hungry wolf the day Sam showed us her pictures. Here… this would help” I handed Jacob the same envelope that Sam gave us with the Cullen’s pictures.
“You still got that?” he asked me, furrowing his eyebrows and a little shock look plastered on his face.
“Yes I do my dear Jake, I thought that maybe one day these pictures could be useful, and then the time had come…” I said and winked my eye at him. He smiled back pleasant. I turned to Jasper.
“Jasper would go for Alice Cullen, you already knew her, so try to get inside once again. You can make her as long as you please. Kill her if is necessary, I really don’t fucking care” I told him and a grin spread on his face too. I didn’t know that all my men were falling for the Cullen’s women.
“Rosalie, you go for Emmett. You still got any contact with him?” I asked her. She cleared her throat.
“No, not really. When all this shit happened, I decided to leave without any warning. I called him one day to apologize myself, and that was about it…” she explained, Jasper turned his head to her and she looked nervous. I needed to find out what was happening here.
“Well, you need to call him again and work your magic babe, we need that fucker eating on the palm of your hand again” I said getting angrier at more minutes passed. Rosalie nodded her head.
“And I will be in charge of Renesmee, and for that I’ll probably need your help, Jasper. Edward Cullen would suffer as much as I did, and I know this girl is his entirely life” I said looking silently at the portrait of this innocent girl that had to pay for her daddy intromissions in our lives.
“Excuse me a few minutes.” Jasper said and went upstairs.
The rest of us remained silent until he came back.
“We don’t have to worry for the rest of the family; Carlisle and Esme Cullen are out of the country. They are on an anniversary vacations ” Jasper told us.
“Well, those are two we don’t have to worry about.” Said Jacob
We decided to attack at once, to give anyone no time at all to react. Everyone had to attack in different ways according to their own criteria, but all of us at the same time. We only had to decide when to put this action plan on wheels.
The first one to implement the plan was Rosalie who called Emmett that evening. All of us were gathered in my living room, waiting patiently until Emmett Cullen answered his phone. We listened to her conversation with him, and she told him about a violent dispute between her and her siblings and they threaten her, so she decided to leave without telling him. When Rosalie hung up, she explained that he accepted to talk to her later that day, so she began her frenzy makeup and dressing properly. Jasper rage began to sizzle as soon as Rosalie hung up the phone.
We decided that the first one to attack would be Jasper, just in case something went wrong. He will help me to get Renesmee Cullen. I would wait for Jaz to bring up the girl in an abandoned house Jacob’s inherited a few years ago when his parents died under strange circumstances.
The house, will only took seven minutes from the Cullen’s house.
Edward will never know how close he was going to be from his daughter.
I wanted to drive him so fucking crazy… desperate.
I just wanted to make him feel the worst pain and sorrow that someone could endure in his life.
He was going to pay with the thing he loved the most: his family.
