Author's Note:

Hey everyone! Welcome to the story! This is my first Twilight story so be gentle on your reviews. I'm just doing this for some fun on a friend's challenge. I'm using the basic traits of each character and interpreting them in my way. This is AU, no one is a vampire or werewolf, just normal teenagers all around. I was watching a Criminal Minds marathon and this little idea popped in my head. So I welcome you to take a guess at who is the culprit! Enjoy!

As always if there are any errors I apologize.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does.

Caveat

By: Cardea Ceres

When Bella takes a summer forensics course taught by Charlie she thinks her summer will be boring...until someone takes the assignments a little too seriously. Everyone is a target and no one is safe, but who is behind the terror? BxE, and all other expected pairings.

"Pretty Bella," he drew out slowly as if he were trying to be seductive, but failing miserably at it. "you were at the top of my list, you know that?" I felt the cold metal push back a lock of my hair. "If only you hadn't found your prince when you did. Made it difficult to carry out my plan." The metal traced the side of my neck and I tried to hold back the shiver that threatened to break out. "It's okay though, because now he's not here to save you. It's just you and me."

My eyes were focused on him and his were on me. His lips curved up into a menacing smile, probably thinking about what his next move would be. I wanted to smack that smile off of his face. My breathing was anything but calm. How could we have missed this? This monster that was so clearly in our mist, and had betrayed everyone. What he had done...was unforgivable and hell probably had his spot already reserved. Now I was in his clutches, like he had planned all along, the sick bastard. There was no where for me to run anymore, and the gun in his hand proved it all too well. I knew in that moment that I was going to die.

Then my ears were ringing.

Ringing so hard that I had no idea what anyone was saying although it seemed like they were shouting. Suddenly my face was smashed into the wooden floor below me. Something heavy had collided with me I dimly registered as the force it took my breath away. Gasping for air I tried to push the object off of me, but it refused to move. My silent screams were unheard until I heard a sickening crunch. Almost instantly the weight was removed and I was being carried away.

The reflection of red and white lights caught my attention, but my head was swimming. What was happening? Only moments before I was prepared to die. If it got him caught then I would make that choice. Yet there I was with needling being poked into my arms. My limbs were being strapped down and my arm was in a blood pressure cuff. The paramedics continued to say their medical garbage, and I wildly looked around trying to find an explanation for what had just happened. Someone started to hold my hand...Charlie. He looked so upset...

The paramedics started to remove a part of my clothing, although I could only notice the only part they didn't take off. It was dark red and already becoming sticky, but I knew I wasn't injured...

Then the scene replayed in a quick flash...and that was when I started to scream.
