AN: This is my first attempt at writing and would appreciate any feedback I can get from everyone. I plan on updating a minimum of once a week. After the prologue each chapter will be split between Edward and Bella's POV. Those are the only 2 POV I am planning on using unless I get feedback requesting otherwise. To some people Bella will be very OOC. I prefer a strong Bella so that is how I am writing her. Thank you for giving me a chance.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Prologue

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Who the hell would be calling me this late?" Charlie mumbled to himself.

"Hello?"He asked when he answered.

"Chief Swan? This is Officer Adams."

"Hi, Adams. What can I do for you?" Charlie asked.

"Well, Sir, umm…" Adams hesitated.

"What is it?" Charlie barked out.

"Well, we responded to a 911 call at your daughters' house and…" Adams hesitated again.

"Spit it out! What is going on?" Charlie yelled.

"We responded to their house because Alice and Rosalie got home and found Bella unconscious on the floor."

Charlie gasped into the phone.

"Sir, it appears that Mike Newton went against his restraining order and broke into the house when Bella was home alone…He assaulted her."

"Is she okay?" Charlie's voice was barely above a whisper in his panic.

"She is conscious now and the paramedics are working on her. They are taking her to the county hospital. Alice and Rosalie are riding along if you want to just meet them there. The paramedics said she is pretty beat up, but should be okay once they get her to the hospital to be treated."

"Thank you, Adams. I am heading there right now." Charlie said. Charlie hung up the phone slightly relieved that his daughter is going to be okay, but fuming about the vile Mike Newton.

********************

Charlie arrived at the hospital fifteen minutes later, and the doctors had already taken Bella back to be treated. Charlie found Alice and Rose sitting in the waiting room crying.

"Dad! We just closed the restaurant and came home to find her on the floor. She was covered in blood. It was so horrible!" Alice cried out.

"I know sweetie. Have you heard anything from the doctor yet?" Charlie asked.

Alice was sobbing too hard to get anymore words out so Rosalie stepped in rubbing Alice's back. "No, not yet. I think Dr. Cullen is in seeing her right now."

Charlie nodded thinking to himself how glad he was that she was being taken care of by the best doctor in the hospital.

Finally, about thirty minutes later Dr. Cullen came out.

"Charlie, I am going to take you three back to see her, but first I need to warn you about her condition. She has been cleaned up, but she still looks pretty bad. She has a broken arm, four cracked ribs, a skull fracture with a concussion, and is covered in multiple bruises."

Charlie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to keep himself from screaming out in fury. Noticing this Dr. Cullen put a comforting hand on Charlie's shoulder as he led them back to Bella's room.

Charlie gasped at the sight of his beaten up little girl in the hospital bed, and for the first time ever broke down crying in front of his daughters.
