Bella POV

I knew that this day would come. I didn't expect it to be so soon though. Charlie was strong, I thought he would be able to handle the truth. I was wrong.

It was about 2 weeks after our confrontation with the Volturi. Charlie had started to ask questions about what we were. I hadn't planned it, I just decided that he should know. It was a snap decision. I didn't expect Charlie to have such a strong reaction. But he did.

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

"Bella?" Charlie asked. I walked into his living room with a confused expression.

"Yea, dad? I asked sitting down on his couch. This is going to be bad, I thought.

"Bella, I…I know I wasn't supposed to ask, but… I…I…what are you, Bella? He whispered the last part. I froze. NO NO NO!!! HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO ASK. I can't do this now, my life just got calm and normal. I need Edward, PLEASE NO!!!! why now? While I said this my face was still the calm mask I had before. Behind my face I was practically dying. I have to tell him. I have to, he is my dad.

"All of us are. Edward reads minds, Alice sees the future, Jasper can feel and control emotioins and Nessie can show you images with by touching you. She is half human and half…Vampire." I said the last word slowly and softly.

"Vampire." He said the word carefully. Still letting it sink in.

"I am called a shield. I can block mental attacks, like mind reading. Jasper and Alice can still affect me with their gifts though. I can stretch it to cover others, like a force field. I can lift it off of me to let Edward read my mind." I watched Charlie process the information.

Everything happened in slow motion. Charlie stopped breathing. His heart beat sped up, much to fast to be normal, or safe. HEART ATTACK! I screamed. His heart slowed down. "NO DAD! DON'T LEAVE!" but it was too late. His heart stopped with a final thud. NO!! "CHARLIE! PLEASE!" I started CPR, trying to remember what Charlie had taught me as a child. I ran to the table as fast as I could. I called Carlisle.

"CARLISLE!" I screamed. "You have to get here now, Charlie had a heart attack. Help him, Please."

"Bella! Bella! Calm down I'll be there as fast as I can, I'm already on my way." I knew he couldn't help. Charlie was gone. NO! I thought fiercely. I won't give up. I can do it. I have control, Edward saved me. I can save Charlie.

I didn't think twice. I leaned down and bit. I felt is warm blood rushing into my mouth. For a half second I wavered, it tasted so good. It made my mouth tingle with pleasure. NO! This was Charlie. My dad. I unclamped my teeth from his neck, and bit him again. And again. The blood tasted so sweet, but I won't kill my father, if the heart attack doesn't. I began CPR again, this time faster. I heard his heart stutter. But then it silenced again.

I heard Carlisle's car in the driveway. He was next to me the instant I heard the engine stop. Carlisle took my place, and preformed various life-saving procedures, that I could have never done. I heard his heart beat. Once, twice. Then it resumed at full speed. He was changing. My dad forever. With me. He will be ok, I thought to myself. I was so overcome with glee that I didn't see Carlisle's expression. It was amazement.

"What?" I asked, not sure if I wanted him to answer.

"You… you bit him. You didn't lose control. You are still fairly new, and you were able to resist the blood." He sounded dazed, shocked.

Charlie yelled out in pain, bringing us both abruptly out of our conversation. I shuddered at the memory of the change. Carlisle and I brought him to the car before anyone could see. Back at the Cullen mansion, we put Charlie down on the bed in Edward's old room.

I hugged him and whispered through his pleas to kill him. "Dad, you are going to be fine. It will only be 3 days. I'll tell you how much time is left every time you scream. It's okay. Remember Renee, and Phil. Remember Billy and Jake. Remember their faces. Think of Nessie. Think of fishing. Of the police station. Remember all of the good times we had. Don't forget them. Keep them forever. Think, Charlie. Remember." I wanted to cry. Renee. I can't live without her. Why is my life never peaceful? When will this end?
