Discovered
Chapter 1- They're Here
The wind rushed through her hair as she rode on Edwards back through the countryside undiscovered by mere humans, she loved the feeling of the cool wind tossing and turning the curls of her hair whilst the sun gazed down on the two who were madly devoted.
"Hold on tight" smiled Edward
"Don't worry" laughed Bella
As he raced back to Fawkes, dodging everything in his way as graceful as a dove flies in the sky; they were there in a minute flat. They hated goodbyes but Bella had to be safe at home by 10 o'clock so, as usual, they hugged, and then before they had a chance to blink, Edward shot off with a faint see you tomorrow at school.
Bella sighed a deep sigh and went into her house to tell her Dad she was home, but, to her surprise, the house was empty and everything inside was motionless.
"He must have been called out to work" she said to herself, she turned on her mobile… 5 missed calls, all from her Dad. She listened to the messages one by one;
Message one:
"Bella? Bella? Are you there? Bella? Bella?"
Message two:
"Bella? Bella? If you are there Bella please, please pick up"
Message three:
"Bella please, PLEASE, PICK UP"
Message four:
"Bella, are you all right? Bella please call me back"
Message five:
"Bella, as soon as you get this message, stay with Edward, go to his house, the more of you there are the safer you will be…" and the phone went dead.
Bella grabbed her keys and raced out of the house, phoning Edward, he was there in a flash, he could hear the upset in her voice and could tell how fast she was running because of the speed of her breaths. He picked her up and ran, as fast as light, back to his house.
As soon as she got there she called her Dad,
"I'm fine," she convinced "how are you?"
"I'm good Bella, just stay with Edward, I can't explain right now, I have to go"
"But…"
"Bye"
Edward was staring at Bella with a dreading look in his eyes,
"What is it?" she questioned "What has happened?, everyone is here but your Dad, where is Carlisle?"
Just as that moment the door opened and in strode Carlisle,
"Thank, goodness you're here Bella, you will be safe here" he spoke quickly and with a worried voice.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on!" shouted Bell, everyone, everyone, turned to look at her, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, and Edward. Carlisle stepped forward and grabbed Bella's wrist where she was bitten by James, his hand was ice cold but his skin was soft.
"It's not healed" he said, Alice, Esme, Edward and Carlisle all closed their eyes and looked down at the floor.
"Bella, he said, "Some of James's friends are in town, and they have started hunting here and are making a mess of our 'vegetarian' style life. They aren't after us though, they are after you and I am guessing that your Dad has just been called out to one of the murders as they have killed three people already. I told them that the 'savage' animal from before is back and that that is what killed those three people, but be careful Bella, they could be anywhere. Edward will watch over you until they are out of the way, but don't worry Bella, we will keep you safe, in fact it might be safest, if we can trust him, to tell your Dad the truth, the complete truth and then maybe we can help him find them and, if we have to, kill them too."
"Carlisle? We can't trust him," spoke Rosalie "he is the chief of police, he will have all of us killed."
"Bella? Can we trust your Dad completely?" questioned Carlisle. As she gulped and closed her eyes she said
"Yes."
"You're sure?" he persisted.
"I'm sure"
As Bella walked home with Edward by her side every minute of the way, she thought of how bad her life would be if she stayed human, all the dangerous she had been through and all the dangerous that were still yet to come, all these ran through her thoughts. Even in the morning when she woke up she was thinking about it and how much she longed to be like Edward so that she never had to leave him.
Charlie could that tell from the beginning that there was something up with Bella but no matter how many times he asked her, and how many times she longed so badly to tell him the truth, she couldn't because she had promised Carlisle that she would wait and let Carlisle tell him when the time was right.
She drew away from her Dad and poor Charlie thought that he had done something wrong, he felt left out and just how Bella did when she sat next to Edward for the first time in biology. Bella knew how he felt but as soon as they got round to talking about the Cullen's family it would be hard for her not to say too much, so she thought it a good idea to stay away from her Dad and a conversation about the Cullen's completely.
It hurt her to see the look in her Dad's eyes, they were questioning and full of sorrow for he thought he had done something to upset her, but he was far from knowing anything.
"Bell, what have I done that is so bad that you are ignoring me for?" pleaded Charlie.
"Nothing Dad, just leave it, ok?" was all he got for an answer.
"But what have I done wrong? He cried with his eyes nearly flooding with tears "Please, just tell me, I'm sorry but I have no idea what I have done!"
"LEAVE IT!" she yelled as she stormed to her room where Edward was waiting for her.
"I can't do it anymore Edward," she said "I'm Sorry but you should see the look in his eyes
"Just hold on a little longer" he reassured with his deep voice. If good looks could kill, Edward would definitely be a mass murderer.
