I was hesitating to make that call. I knew I had to do it but I was stubborn and didn't want to make him the honour of being the first one to call. It would be like telling him I forgave him to what he did to me four years ago. But then again, he was my father and the only one what could help me in this though situation.

My name is Bella Swan. I'm 18 years old and have been a vampire hunter ever since I was a little girl. My father is the most famous one in the little community of vampire slayers. He was a retired one for years now but he liked to brag about how he killed one of the Volturi guards, Felix, without being hunted by Aro, the chief of the Volturi's; the one that every vampire and vampire hunter feared. If one day one of us made it to kill him, that one would be a damn brave hero. My father even sometimes tells that he saw the anger in Aro's eyes when he was burning Felix's corpse. That wasn't true.

But no one ever managed to kill any other vampire that was a part of the Volturi's and that's why my father was the most famous one. He had been taking me with him ever since I was ten years old. It had been my present for my tenth birthday, and I loved it. I have to admit it; my father made a good vampire hunter out of me.

Now was a critical time. I had my eyes on this coven of vampires for over a year now. They were weird, not like the other covens.

Members from covens were always harder to kill because they were attached to each other and even maybe felt love for each other, although I couldn't believe bloodless monsters like vampires could feel any kind of love. But I liked challenges and blood-loving nomads were just too mainstream for me.

This coven was different. They had been living in that little town close to the border of Canada for quite some time now and they even dared to be a part of society, which is a main reason for me to suspect them of organising a big slaughter. It was my duty to make them disappear in a sea of flames.

I dialled my father's number and sighed loudly before taking a big amount of air into my lungs. After some waiting, he finally picked up, introducing himself as Charlie Swan.

"Dad?" I said, my voice trembling. He was hesitating at the other side of the phone and I decided it was time for me to finally release the huge amount of air from my lungs. "Dad, it's me, Bella." I felt stupid of saying that to him. He must have known it was I.

"I know it's you, Bells." He answered. It was always nice to know he hadn't forgotten me. A long silence followed, both of us not sure whether to say something personal or if I had to go straight to the point.

The second option it was. "I found this coven in the state of Washington and I think I might need some help."

"You need help?" He asked like it was impossible for me to need help. Maybe because of what had happened in the past.

"I need you dad. They are numerous. I don't think I can do them all on my own."

"So you need me?"

"I do." I admitted. He waited again for some long seconds and I almost thought he hung up on me before he started to talk. No, I knew he was still on the other side of the line because I knew he liked it when people stroke his ego.

"Tell me more about it." I hadn't noticed I had been holding my breath until I released everything by the sound of his words.

"There are seven of them living a house. Their creator is amongst them and shows to be the leader of the group. They seem not having killed any human being or at least not that I have heard of."

"How you know?" He asked suspiciously, breaking my sentence off.

"A friend told me." There was noise at the other side of the line and I knew he was about to ask me who that friend was to look him up in his book of all the vampire slayers he knew about. "Jacob Black." I said even before he could ask me. "Can I continue while you look him up?" He mumbled something I couldn't understand but I continued my story.

"There are four male vampires and three female vampires and they are mates. I need to go there to investigate on them more deeply but from what I've heard, some of them seem to be rather tough."

"But if they don't seem to drink human blood, as your friend Jacob Black told you, why would you have to slaughter them?" I knew my father well enough to know this was a test. For him, it was killing or killing. No matter how nice they seemed to be, they still had to be murdered.

"They are trying to melt into society. The creator works at the local hospital and his creations are going to school. I might suspect a slaughter action in the few months to come." I knew my father was nodding proudly because I had no mercy on them.

"What do you think should be done?" I took a deep sigh. I knew he wouldn't agree with my idea but it's all Jacob and I had been able to think of.

"I think I should try to melt into them to maybe know more about them and their strange habits."

"WHAT!?" He screamed. Exactly the reaction I had expected from him. His policy said we shouldn't blend in. Investigate from as far as possible and especially; don't make yourself known to them.

"Think about it, dad!"

"I don't want to listen to your suicide attempt, Bella!" He screamed back at me, angrily.

"Just listen to me!" I tried to convince him.

"I don't want to hear it!"

"I'm going to do it anyway. I don't care if I don't get your help for it." I lied. I cared. I was sad because of how we ended up not talking for four years although it was his entire fault. Also, I needed his expertise on this one. He was the only one strong enough to help me with this coven. Then I reminded myself of the magic words. "They might bring us closer to Aro."

He sighed and I knew he was giving in, especially when hearing Aro's name. "You know I promised myself to stop, right?"

"I know." I answered and couldn't help but let a smile cover my face.

"It's risky."

"I know."

"Where are we meeting up?" He finally gave in. I made a little happy dance and told him I was picking him up at the airport of Seattle as soon as he was ready to come over. "I hope it's worth it." He said.

"A vampire is always worth some of our time." I quoted him before hanging up and going to sleep with a happy feeling.

I hope you liked the story so far! I don't know yet if I'm going to continue it and it will depend on how many reviews I have. So review pretty please because I really love the story line and want to give up some of my time to write this! If by April 5th I didn't get as many hits as I hoped for, I might not continue it immediately.

I worked without beta on this chapter because I didn't want to bother anyone with it as I know most people don't like vampire fanfics. Sorry if there are some mistakes (it's also pretty late).

Thank you for your reading.

Xoxo,

Laure.
