Chapter 11 a shower, a wedding and a punishment
~Raven's POV~
Last week, Heidi, the queens and the kings threw me a small shower for Matteo. I asked that they focused on Matteo instead of me, and they did. He received plenty of cute onesies and bigger clothes for when he grows up.
When he went to sleep, I made plans to go dress shopping. While shopping, I also finished my last class and graduated an entire semester early. Dad was so proud of me, and so was I. I sent him pictures.
And last night was the final night I am a single girl. Not just a fiancé, I am going to become a wife. Married to the four vampires that I love the most.
Jane and Heidi helped me get dressed while the queens took all three of my babies to get them dressed up. Matteo fussed not wanting to leave my side, but I gave him a kiss and walked him to his nursery so he could be changed.
"Nervous?" Heidi asks.
"Not much as I used to be. I just can't wait to walk down the isle." I answered as she finished with my hair, then added my crown.
I took my crest and put it around my neck.
"So, Aro and Caius are going to officiate while Marcus walks you down the isle. The boys will walk first, then Jane with Matteo as the queens walk down with Sarah and Ellie. Lastly, Marcus walks you down." Heidi explains as there was a knock at my door. Heidi opened it to reveal Marcus.
"Oh, you look simply beautiful, Raven." He compliments me as he took my hands, pulled me up from the chair and spun me around. I giggled as I made sure my crown was still.
"Is everything ready?" I ask.
"Yep. It's almost time for your turn." Marcus answers.
Heidi hands me my bouquet, then led us down the hall. Taking a deep breath, Heidi was ready to open the doors.
"First, I graduate from college abroad, and now I am getting married... to vampires." I spoke, then swallowed.
"I know this isn't how you pictured your life, Raven. But, I can tell you that we are happy that you came into our lives." Marcus replies.
"I am too, Marcus. I really am. No one understands me better than Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix. I... I really love them." I said as Heidi opens the door.
"Don't let me fall." I whisper.
"I promise." Marcus whispers back as he walked me down the isle.
There were a few more vampires than I expected, but I knew they were friends since Aro handled the guest list. He wouldn't let any one he didn't trust in.
When I saw my mates, I was stunned at how beautiful and handsome they looked. As we reached the beautiful white rose alter that was made in the garden, Marcus spoke.
"Don't ever let her go." He spoke darkly.
"We promise." All four of them replied.
I stood in the end as the five of us made a pentagram 5 point start shape.
"Welcome. We are gathered here today to witness a rare and beautiful moment for our kind." Aro spoke first.
"A rare occasion, where mates are found. But in this case, one mate to five vampires." Caius spoke second.
"And it is our very pleasure, to unite these five hearts as one, with marriage." Aro paused.
"And we'd ask if anyone doesn't agree with this marriage, but we are going to skip it since no one would dare to." Caius joked, causing a few laughs.
"Now... Jane, Alec, Demetri, and Felix do you take Raven to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and health, till death do you part?" Aro asks.
"I do." They answered while looking right at me.
"And Raven, do you take Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix, your mates to be your lawfully wedded partner? To have and to hold, in sickness and health, till death do you part?" Caius asks.
"I do." I answered as I fought back my tears.
"Then by the power vested in our coven, we now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your mate." Aro finished, giving the four of them the chance to kiss me.
Felix went first, followed by Demetri, Alec, then Jane. They each put their part of my ring on me as I put their band on their finger. Everyone cheers as the party started. They started by cutting a small piece of the three tier cake, then fed me one by one.
I was having a real blast. I wished the pack could have been here, and my dad... but I couldn't risk their safety in case one of these vampires got hungry. It's already bad enough that I'm still human.
Finishing the night, I slow danced with each of my mates, giving them all attention.
Once we were done, I got time with each of my babies, hugged my three father figures, then waved goodbye.
"Promise we won't be gone long?" I ask as Felix lifted me up into the car.
"We promise. We will only have a week of solitude, so we can help you with your change." Felix answers, giving me a quick kiss before getting into the driver's seat. Demetri was in the passenger seat while I sat in the back with the twins.
"We're just staying a week?" I ask as Alec pulled me into his lap as Jane held my legs.
"We plan to give you the best last night of your life before... before we change you." Demetri answered giving me a smirk. I blush as I leaned against Alec's chest.
Going back and forth, I stayed silent as Alec rubbed my back as we arrived at the honeymoon house faster than I thought we would.
~time skip~
Opening my eyes, I groaned as I felt the bed dip.
"Sleep well, love?" I glared my eyes see Felix and Demetri smirking at me.
"Yes, considering I don't have the stamina that you four have." I answered before painfully rolling over. My bare back in plain view.
"Well, if this makes up for it, we sure did enjoy last night." Felix says, running his finger down my spine.
"Especially considering we remembered the condoms this time." Demetri jokes causing me to chuckle.
"Glad you enjoyed it." I said from the pillow.
"Alright, enough pillow talk." Jane spoke walking in as well as Alec.
"Time for our beautiful wife to have breakfast." Alec spoke.
Jane smiled as she helped me get a bath to help with the pain in my legs, then got me dressed. I enjoyed last night, but I was ready for this. For the whole day, they showed me the wonderful forest around the cabin, but when the sun had set, we got back to the cabin and were set in the bedroom.
"Okay, we have told you everything about the change. You make the wish before we bite you, but there is one thing we need to know." Alec says.
"What's that?" I ask, confused. Did we forget something?
"Where do you want us to mark you?" Alec smirks, causing me to blush as they chuckled at me.
"Well, I was thinking... Alec and Jane around my neck, while Felix and Demetri could do my legs." I smirked right back at them, causing them to stop laughing and their eyes turned black.
"I can get down with that." Jane says coming up to my left.
"I agree, sister." Alec replies clinging to my right.
"Shall we?" Demetri asks, rubbing up and down my right thigh.
"Let's do this." Felix answered copying Demetri with my left thigh.
Closing my eyes, I made the wish.
"I wish that my change will be painless and quicker." I spoke as they peppered my body with kisses before deciding on a spot. Before I knew it, I felt four sets of fangs pierce my skin causing me to let out a yelp. Instead of feeling pain, I blacked out.
~Jane's POV~
It's been one day since our mate went through her change. We didn't worry as much since we protected ourselves during our sex and she doesn't feel the pain and heat from the venom. All we have to do now is wait for her to wake up.
"Sister!" Alec called out, making me, Felix and Demetri flash into the room to see Raven stirring.
"Wow, that was really quick." Demetri comments as we cuddled with her.
When she opened her eyes, we were stunned to see... one blood red eye, and her other was a deep emerald.
"Raven?" I spoke calmly, so she didn't get scared.
"Yes?" She replies, her voice was sexier, deeper, more angelic.
"How do you feel?" I ask as I hand Alec the blood bag.
"I feel fine." She answers, surprising us.
"You don't feel the burn in your throat?" Felix asks.
"Should I?" Raven asks confused.
"This is strange. Don't get me wrong, you are just as beautiful as you were, but with your eyes and your thirst, this is definitely one for the history books." I said as Demetri flashed to the phone for the kings.
"Is something wrong with me? Do you hate me now?" Raven asks, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Of course not." I answered flabbergasted before walking over and pulled her into my arms.
"We are just surprised by your new change. We could never hate you. We love you." I took her hand and raised it. "You see this ring. We gave you this ring as a proof of our love. To you." Raven wrapped her arms around me as our hug calmed her down.
"Can we go home? I wish to see our babies." Raven asks.
"Of course. But first, we want to take the rest of this day, to show you how to control your strength and speed." Felix answered, joining the hug.
"Okay. But can we stay like this for a bit?" Raven asks.
"Of course." We answer her as it became a group hug.
When Raven was ready, we brought her outside and saw that instead of sparkling like us, she just glowed a heavenly glow.
Taking a few hours, we taught her to control her strength and speed. She was a natural.
Our bags were packed, and Raven was eager to go home to her babies.
"You ready, love?" I ask.
"Absolutely." Raven answers.
Driving much faster, we arrived at the castle in only and hour.
~Raven's POV ~
Once the car was parked, I flashed inside and bursted into my room.
"Ahh!"
"Ahh!" I screamed startled that everyone screamed before me.
"Oh, my child you startled us." Marcus says as they all took in my change.
"My dear, is that really you?" Aro asks cautiously.
"Yes. I feel fantastic. My body feels like I just went through puberty again." I answered then saw my baby in the floor with the queens.
My son had grown a bit bigger since the last time we were here.
"He's grown." I teased, then he turned his head.
"Momma!" He says happily, which made me freeze. He then pushed himself up and tried to crawl over.
I got down on my knees and held my arms out.
"You can do it, my baby. Come to mommy." I cooed at him as he took his time crawling to me.
"Oh, my baby. You are just as cute as when I left for my honeymoon. I missed you. You and your sisters." I talked to him as he cuddled with my chest.
Climbing into my bed, I held my baby as the queen's came over with Sarah and Ellie.
"Hi my babies, Mommy missed you." I said as they sat next to me as my babies watched me.
"Did you all behave yourselves for you aunties?" I ask.
They giggled as the queen's smiled.
"She went through her change? But, how is she so different?" I hear Aro whisper.
"I have never seen a change quite like Raven's. She really is special." Marcus whispers.
"So special, that she can hear you." I whisper, causing them to freeze.
"Sorry, Raven." The kings said.
"It's alright. We all want some answers, but right now I just want to spend time with my family and my babies." I replied, just then my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answer seeing it was Seth.
"Hey, Raven." Seth answered cheerful.
"Hi, Seth. How's the pack?" I ask.
"Great. We tried to get ahold you for a few days but you didn't answer." Seth answers.
"I was on a trip. Just got home. Something wrong?" I said.
"Bella's been a nightmare. Constantly stalking the Cullen's and the pack. We can't stand her." Seth replies.
"I'm surprised I could ever since she came to Forks. What's she been up to?" I ask.
"She's been trying to get Jacob to see her 'innocent' side, but when Sam got a call about her being involved in a kidnapping, she was banned from the res. Jacob's crush on her, thankfully, was gone when he found out—" Seth stopped.
"Found out what?" I asked, then glared at my mates and everyone else.
"Found out that... you were the one they kidnapped." Seth said, in a shaky voice.
"Seth, you're not alone, are you?" I ask.
"I'm about to get scolded by Leah and Sam, can I call you back?" Seth asks back.
"I'll do you one better, have Sam and Carlisle call me back. I gotta go." I answered as I hung up.
I handed Matteo to Heidi, causing him to fuss. I felt the tug try to make me take him back, but I was angry.
"Does the pack know about what happened?" I asked. "And somebody better answer me."
"They kept calling us, Raven. We had no choice, they are you family." Aro says.
"And you didn't think to tell me that my most vulnerable moment was told to them?!" I asked.
"My love, please, calm down. We are sorry. We just waned you to feel safe again before we told you." Jane says.
"I am not angry at my four, you are just looking out for me, but you three are not off the hook." I replied as I finally took Matteo back from Heidi as he rubs his face in my neck.
"It's okay my little baby." I cooed as I rubbed his back and sat on my couch.
A little while later, my phone rings.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Raven, it's Sam. I have the pack and the Cullen's here. Are you okay?" Sam says.
"Hi, Sam. I am fine. Just getting home from my trip to spend time with my babies." I reply.
"We are sorry for what happened, and Carlisle has a question for you." Sam says.
"Raven, how are you?" I heard Carlisle's voice.
"I am alright, Carlisle, thank you for asking. How's the family?" I ask.
"We are fine. We just want to know how you are feeling and to ask..." Carlisle answers.
"Ask me what?" I ask.
"If you have seen Alice since you were rescued?" I froze then turned to find everyone avoiding my eyes.
"I'm gonna call you guys back." I said then hung up the phone. I put my hands on my hips as Jane looked at me.
"Something you need to tell me?" I ask.
"We may have left out a detail." Jane answers.
"You think. What happened?" I asked.
"Not only did we return Bella to Forks, we rescued you... and have been holding a prisoner." Marcus explained.
I shushed Matteo until he fell asleep, then stood up.
"Where is she?" I asked.
"In the dungeons. We've kept her weak so she has no chance of escape." Marcus answered.
"I want you to all pay attention to what I have to say next." I said, earning a lot of nodding heads. "I want to see her."
"But, my love—"
"No, it's okay. She won't hurt me." I cut Demetri off as he hugged me.
After a whole half hour of convincing and the promise of a wish. I was led down the stairs and the deeper we got, the creepier it got. Jane and Alec held my hands as we were walking behind the kings and Demetri and Felix. We went through a door to reveal metal bars and cells.
"She's right there." Caius says pointing to the last cell.
I pulled Jane with me as she continued to hold my hand. As I walked closer, I found a dirty body laying in the corner.
"Well, you look like crap." I commented, not caring about hurting her feelings anymore.
"That the best you got baby stealer." Alice replies as I saw her black eyes.
"It's not stealing if the babies are mien to begin with, you and Isabella are the fucking kidnappers here." I seethed as I slammed my hand against the bars, startling her. I smirked as she shivered in fear.
"What's wrong, Alice? Where'd that scary bitch who hurt me, go? Cause all I see if a scared little bitch." I said.
"What did you do to me?!" Alice shouted as she stayed in her corner.
"Well, I am going to tell you, since you'll never be getting out of here." I paused. "I took your gift from you, Alice. You're no longer a seer."
"How is that possible?! I never saw this happening. You weren't supposed to be gifted." Alice asked.
"Oh, I am gifted, but my gift protected me from yours." I answered.
"Ah, still amazing us with every turn." Aro says amazed.
"What are you going to do to me?" Alice asks.
"Oh, that isn't for us to decide, it's up to Raven." Caius answered.
"And I have big plans for you, Alice. But first, I wish that you'd go to sleep and wake up when I want you to." I said, then I snapped my fingers. Alice's eyes rolled back and she fell back, asleep.
I turned around and put my head into Jane's chest as my mates comforted me.
"What is your plan for her, Raven?" Aro asks.
"She can't escape. The second you told me she was in prison, I wished the she couldn't escape to hurt me or my babies again. Right now, she is in a dreamless sleep, and I'm going to keep her that way until I'm ready for her to wake up. Can we get something to eat now?" I answer/ask.
"Of course, we already cooked for you." Felix answered as he swept my off my feet and flashed me back up into the castle and into the kitchen.
For the rest of the day, I just remained quiet as my head had thoughts running wild. Felix served me a delicious prime rib with mashed potatoes and a nice Dr. Pepper. My tummy and I were satisfied.
When we were back in my room, the kings and queens left for some alone time as I gave Matteo a bath then took one myself.
"Enjoy yourself, angel?" Alec asks as he took my towel as I walked over to the couch and he hand dried my hair.
"Much. I guess I need it for more than cleaning, I needed to relax." I answered.
"That can be arranged." Demetri said as eh flashed over and took my slippers off. He started to rub my foot, causing me to relax, my spine was numb.
"How do you feel now?" Demetri asks.
"Wonderful. You're amazing, Demetri." I answered as I felt like I was in Nirvana.
"How are my babies?" I ask.
"They just fell asleep, love." Felix answered as he just finished with the fireplace.
"And my kitties?" I asked.
"They are curled up in the kitty tower, after playing with the babies." Jane answered as she laid on the bed.
"Ah, everything is just right." I sighed in relaxation.
About a few seconds later, I felt Alec take his hands off me.
"My love, I wish to ask you something without upsetting you." Alec says.
"Of course, handsome." I reply.
"What do you wish to do now? With Alice and about Isabella I mean." Alec asks.
I sighed, "I feel angry. I mean, i tried to be a friend to both of them, and they treated me like crap. They only wanted something that they couldn't have themselves and didn't care about the damage they left behind. I hate this feeling, the weird foreign feeling that makes me hate myself."
"It's okay, my love." Alec flashed in front of me, lifted me up and then placed me on his lap as he held me against his chest.
"What is this feeling, Alec?" I ask.
"That, is the feeling know as revenge. You want to hurt her since she hurt you. It's also called getting even." Alec answers.
"I hate this. I never once had thoughts like these growing up back home." I said.
"That's because your body when through its change. Your instinct are heightened, and your mommy instincts are on full drive. You know that they wanted to hurt you to get your babies, your vampire instincts only want to protect them." Jane replies.
"Really?" I ask.
"Of course. We got our revenge on Alice when we rescued you." Demetri answers.
"What did you guys do?" I ask.
"We just caused her pain, that's all." Felix answers.
"We also ripped her apart a couple of times, and starved her." Jane adds, making me smile.
"What do you wish to do to you, love?" Demetri asks.
"I can't even believe I'm saying this, but I want them to hurt. Alice will remain a prisoner, as I want Bella to really hurt. I want everything to be taken from her, just like she tried to do to me." I answered.
"Then let's make that happen." Felix says.
"But—"
"No buts." Alec cuts me off. "She has hurt you, and we will not stand for that. If you wish to get your revenge, then we will help you in any way we can."
"Just let yourself relax and a plan will come to you." Jane adds.
I closed my eyes as I laid my head in Alec's chest. But, before I knew it, I fell asleep due to the relaxation.
~the next day~
I opened my eyes to see all four of my mates, my married soulmates, as they were cuddling with me in the bed.
"Morning, beautiful." They greeted me.
"Morning my loves." I replied.
Alec graciously rubbed a washcloth on my face to clean the sleep from me as I sat up and stretched.
"Hungry? Or would you like to get woke up first?" Felix asks.
"Let me get a bath first, handsome." I answered as I got up and then gave the four of them a quick kiss.
Taking Jane's hand, I pulled her into the bathroom as she made me a bath.
"Can I help you wash your hair?" Jane asks.
"I'd love that." I answer.
I stripped then got in. Jane took my favorite shampoo and gently rubbed my head. After I was done, she helps me dry off and styled my hair.
"What are you doing?" I ask feeling her put something in my hair.
"Just playing with your hair." Jane answered as she took my hand and let me feel the little clip she added in my hair.
Back in the bedroom, I sat on the couch as my mates placed a plate of pancakes, sausage links and hash browns in front of me with a glass of Dr. Pepper.
As I ate, Jane and Alec brought my babies in the room. I cooed at them while I ate, Matteo tried to steal my drink but Felix stopped him. He tried to be fussy, but one word from he and he calmed down. Demetri brought in my bottles as they were all fed.
Once I was done, I organized my dishes as I picked up my phone.
"Hello?" I hear Edward answer.
"Hi, Edward, is your mate busy?" I ask.
"She just woke up. What can we help you with?" Edward asks.
"I want to run a plan by you, the family and the pack. It's my revenge against Isabella for what she did to me." I answer.
"I will get some caffeine in her then give her the phone." Edward replies. Not having to wait very long, I hear the phone move.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's me." I reply.
"Oh, hi Raven. How's it going?" She asks.
"Good. But I need a big favor from you." I answer.
"What can I do for you girl?" She asks.
"I want to get revenge against Isabella, but to do that, I need you to help." I answer.
"Whatever you need." She replies.
"To start my plan, I need Isabella to let her guard down. She needs to believe that the pack and the Cullen's will protect her from the Volturi." I said.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" She asks, understanding.
"I want Edward to propose to her so she'll only be focused on one thing and forget about me and my babies. Then, while she's busy with the wedding details, she won't see us coming." I answer.
"Why me?!" I hear Edward in the back ground.
"We have to, handsome. It's the only way to stop Bella." His mate replies.
"Okay. What's my part?" Edward asks.
"Make a big dramatic fight in public, to get her attention. Then she'll try to win you back. I will pretend to be Alice and send her a book of wedding details and her dress so she'll think Alice is safe from us, but she won't know the truth. When the day of the wedding arrives, I will arrive to take her to Volterra where she will be on trial, but with the details that I will send, you will be marrying Edward instead." I explain.
"Why would she believe that Alice is savage since she's been missing since your kidnapping?" Edward's mate asks.
"Because, she's currently my puppet. I stole her gift which makes her useless to the Volturi and they are keeping her alive for my purposes." I answered.
"Wow, who knew you were such a badass." She comments.
"I guess my mates rubbed off on me. Listen, for this plan to work, I want you to stay hidden after your fight, so she won't suspect a thing. But stay close so you and Edward won't feel the pain. I will be sending mail soon, so be ready for some big packages." I replied.
"Got it. I will fill in the pack and the family about your plan." Edward says.
"What are you going to do till then?" She asks.
"I have a trip to make before we head your way." I answer then disconnected the call.
"And just where are we headed, love?" Demetri asks.
"Florida." I answered.
~Time skip~
It's been two days since I told the Cullen's about my plan. I meditate twice a day to keep my true nature and soul in tact so I don't feel myself falling for the darkness. Edward called in to say that he and his meta fought and Bella was right there to cheer him up. Gag.
Right now, we just landed in Florida. Getting off the plane, it was night time so we could walk freely.
"So, Demetri, you smell her?" I asked.
"I have her. Follow me." He answered as he flashed away from the airport and to a lovely home.
"It fits Renee. She always was a sucker for the white picket fence American dream shit." I commented as said woman came out of the door carrying trash bags.
When she looked up, she instantly saw me.
"Raven?! Is that you? Oh! What are you doing here, honey?" She asked, faking being happy as she rushed over to hug me but I held my hand up stopping her.
"Just stop, Renee. I know about your lies. I'm not really your daughter." I said emotionless.
"Oh, sweetie. You weren't supposed to find out. I am so sorry." Renee replies sorrowful.
"Oh spare me your sadness, I know you don't really care. All these years, you could have been my mother, but not once did you ever try to contact me. No birthday's, Christmas's, nothing. You are a poor excuse of a mother!" I exclaimed as I walked over to Jane who held Matteo as Alec had Sarah and Ellie in their carriers.
"Raven, please, you are my daughter! And who's babies—"
"They are mine, Renee. But you, you will never have the wonderful feeling of being a grandparent." I cut her off as Felix and Demetri stood next to us, protectively.
"What are you talking about, Raven. You made me a grandparent. I am your mother!" Renee exclaimed.
"No, your not!" I exclaimed back, making my eyes glow, showing her that I was different.
"Are you wearing contacts?" She asks, which made me bust out laughing.
"Oh, if you actually cared, and if you only knew." I said, then snapped my fingers. Felix and Demetri flashed over and held her by her arms.
She struggled against them, but when they saw my nod, they sank their fangs into her neck. Killing her.
"Mommy." I turned my head to see Matteo lifting his head up.
"Yes, baby?" I took him from Jane.
"Why did you kill this woman?" He asks.
"You remember when your god-grandparents told me that my bio-dad was cheated on with my not-so-bio-mom?" I ask him.
"Yeah." He answers.
"Well, that woman hurt my dad, and she is part of my revenge plan against Isabella. She won't be able to hurt you or your sisters, okay?" I ask.
He smiled as he laid his head in my shoulder.
"She is dead, love. What next?" Demetri says quietly as Matteo fell asleep.
"Next, I want her heart. I am going to give Isabella a wedding gift she'll never forget." I answered.
"I'm on it." Felix replies as he pulled out a switched blade and went over to Renee's lifeless body and carved out her heart.
"Anything else, love?" Demetri asks.
"Well, according to Rosalie, Bella's fake wedding is in three days, she already has the dress, shoes and the Cullen's are preparing for Edward's real wedding with the pack on the res. Their treaty has been brought down since I made them all like one another. They are respecting each other, and they are understanding each other. They are becoming like family. We start heading there, and by the time we head there, it'll be time to give her my gift then spring my trap. Once we have her in our hands, we take her back to Volterra and put her in a dungeon. She's not facing a trial, she doesn't deserve one. I'll keep her weak and then focus on Edward's and his mates wedding." I explained.
"A wonderful plan, love. Quick, let's ignite the body then flee." Felix replied as he put the heart in a box. I wished it to be preserved until Bella opened it.
Once Renee's body was on fire, I wished for her husband to find his real mate, divorce and forget Renee then live his life peacefully. Then, we headed back to the airport for Washington.
