This is just some random little idea I had in bed the other night. I'm assuming that it's probably been done before, so no need to tell me that. Just read and review please. Flame me, give me constructive criticism, whatever.
"You aren't human anymore, are you?"
I could hear the suspicion in his voice. It was mixed with some fear and anger along with curiosity. I could hear his heart thudding in his chest nervously.
"Answer me Bella."
I turned slowly, relinquishing my death grip on the door knob, leaving a mould of the inside of my hand behind instead of the nice round circle that it used to be. How could he have possibly guessed? I was sure that I had been so careful. Unless I'd been doing things like crushing doorknobs without noticing.
When I met his gaze, I heard his heart speed up a little, probably in fear. I didn't like to scare him. It wasn't right.
I took a step towards him and he took a step back. The lights in the kitchen cast a strange glow on the situation from my perspective.
"You're eyes are a different color Bella," he said, working to keep his voice conversational. "They used to be purple and now they're more greenish."
I nodded slowly. "Colored contacts." My red eyes had just recently decided that they didn't want to be red anymore, so the blue contacts made my eyes look green, covering the liquid topaz color that they were now. I briefly wondered , as I thought about my eyes, what Charlie thought I was, if I wasn't human. He didn't know about vampires...at least I didn't think he did.
He nodded once. "You still haven't answered me Bella. As your father, I have a right to know what's going on here. I've seen crushed doorknobs all over the house after your visits," he waved at the front door knob. "You never eat and you can stand so impossibly still. What happened to you? What did Edward do to you?"
"I thought we were going to go on the 'need to know' basis here," I replied smoothly, still avoiding the question and letting the comment about Edward pass. I didn't want Charlie to get tangled up in my supernatural world.
"This had become something I need to know Bella. You haven't hurt yourself accidently or intentionally since Renesemee was born. Before you married Edward, you were breaking bones every two weeks."
"I've become more coordinated," I muttered.
"I'll say," Charlie said, braving his fears and stepping towards me to grasp my arm. I flinched away, not wanting him to feel my icy granite skin.
Charlie looked at me with confusion. "Whatever it is Bella, I can handle it. I lived through your decision to marry Edward, didn't I? I can handle it," he repeated.
I shook my head, my hair falling in front of my face. "It's too dangerous." I wished Edward was here. He'd know how to deal with this.
Charlie exhaled loudly. "I'm a police officer Bella. I've seen lots of things."
"Nothing like this," I muttered. I raised my head and pushed my hair out of my face. "Keep in mind that there isn't anything you can do about this now."
I walked swiftly over to the living room, Charlie trailing me absently, a confused and somewhat annoyed look on his face.
I stood in front of the couch, then bent down and, with one hand, lifted the piece of furniture above my head. I heard Charlie's surprised gasp, but I didn't meet his gaze. I wasn't sure what I would find there.
I put the couch back down before running at lightning speed around Charlie.
"You're right," I said quietly. "I'm not human."
Charlie whirled around to face me, fear and awe in his eyes. "Then, what are you?"
I blinked once. "I'm a vampire."
This was meant to be a one shot, but if you want, I can write more. Please tell me first though. Peace out.
