The New Charlie
So you've probably all been wondering what would happen if Charlie became a vampire. This is me summing up my own ideas. Told from Bella's POV.
"Dad, I need to tell you why I've avoided you for a few years." I said. Edward and I came to an agreement that Charlie needed to know. We also came to an agreement that either Alice or I would turn him into a vampire.
"You mean haven't talked to me in person, by phone, text, or video chat? You haven't even written a word to me."
"I have a good excuse."
"Which is?"
I summed up all the courage I could ever have in a situation like this. Which almost wasn't enough, I almost let an excuse come out of my mouth, actually I do, I say "I've been busy with everything." But I don't stop at that. "Because, Edward and his family are all vampires, and he turned me into one." It takes everything I have not to let it come out too fast. All the practice I had in the mirror didn't make up for actually saying it to someone besides myself. Not to mention it was harder not to run the words together because I was trying to talk so fast no one could hear me, so it could be more private.
"I'll believe that once I see some proof."
"It's not that easy to get proof."
"Why?"
"There's only one way I can give you proof without you thinking I did some video editing or me proving it to the entire world."
"Which would be?"
I whisper in his ear. "To change you." I know, that's not the only way, but I don't want to put him in danger of the Volturi.
"If all this is true, and I'm not saying it is, what about my wife and three-year-old?"
"You'd change her and wait a few years, then change the three-year-old when they're about thirteen."
"When she's about thirteen."
"I've been gone for a few years. That must be a good reason not to know that."
"Why wait a few years?"
"I'll explain everything later."
"Again, why wait?"
"It's easier for me this way."
…
It takes a lot of convincing, but finally Charlie agrees to come to Edward's family's house with me. I don't want to chicken out and let Alice change him, but it looks like I will. I think back on why I'm doing this in the first place.
A few hours earlier…
"It's about time you told your father about us." Edward said.
"But then I'll have to change him." I replied.
"He needs to know why you've stayed away from him for five years. And that Renesmee's our daughter."
Now…
We sit in the living room while I wait for Edward. I want him to know Charlie's here and that I'll try to change him. I want Edward to help me if I can't stop.
Five minutes later…
Now Edward knows why I want him here. Charlie fell asleep waiting for him.
"Go ahead."
"I…I can't do this."
"You have to. Just do it."
"I really can't."
"I won't let you leave this room until you do."
I get next to Charlie and see him in peace. I picture myself interrupting that peace to change him. My head hangs over his neck for a few seconds while I think to myself. For you, Dad. And for Edward. I love you forever. And then I bite.
I know, cliffhanger. But you'll like the next chapter. It's going to be actually REALLY long. R&R and I will be writing a SYOT story for Twilight and Hunger Games. Send me tributes PM only!
