A Mess of a Dreamer

I simply couldn't look as they took Charlie's body out of the water. They said that he had been drowned, must have fallen out his fishing boat, or fell near the edge, then got his leg trapped or hit his head. In short they didn't know anything about his death other than that he had been found in the river by two hikers, Victoria and Sarah.

I heard a gasp and looked behind me, it was Jacob Black, son of Billy Black, and well someone who used to be my best friend until he started being an idiot and 'couldn't' talk to me or 'wasn't' allowed, I think he just got bored personally. I couldn't even find it in me to glare.

'Bella...I...What happened?'

'Jake please d-...' I couldn't bear to hear him speak, to watch him as, when realising Charlie my Daddy was dead, his face twist in pain. So I turned again and looked toward the river, BIG MISTAKE, it was very clear that Charlie had not drowned by himself. There were deep gashes across his face, neck and torso. I cried aloud, Victoria heard me and began to walk toward me, not walk wasn't the right word, her stride were so long and her stance so graceful yet powerful and yet still almost feline.

'It's Isabella isn't it.' It was a statement not a question. 'I'm Victoria or Vicki and this is my sister Sarah.' Holy crow she just appeared out of thin air. 'Isabella...?' Victoria was looking at me funnily, I realised I was staring at Sarah.

'S...Sorry.' I half stuttered. She smiled the widest smile I think I had ever seen. Although they were sister they looked nothing alike, Victoria was Tall, Slim, Blond, Pale and drop dead gorgeous, where as Sarah, she was Average height, Slim to the extreme, her hair a dark sort of black-brunette-blue colour, and Gorgeous in her own way, sort of elf like. However they both had the most adorable silver eyes. Sarah smiled as if she knew what I was thinking, I immediately wanted to protect my brain just in case. A look of confusion passed across her face.

'I know, we don't look alike right?' She continued without waiting for my answer, 'Well we were adopted by a king, Aro, when we were younger after all of our parents were shot dead at my mum's cousins wedding, and we lived with him and his guard until he... umm...well...he...err...he...well...umm... he asked us to leave because he wanted sometime to err rebuild parts of the castle that were well umm damaged.'

In spite of myself I smiled. Then I heard a low moan from behind me.

'Oh no, oh god no, this is entirely my fault.' It was Jacob while we had been talking he had moved round us and closer to Charlie's body. Victoria and Sarah were glaring at him. He stiffened and turned round.

'Bella get away from them,' I just stared in shock, 'Bella please their dangerous they'll hurt you.'

'What you mean like you did?' I retorted quietly.

He groaned. 'Aww Bella come on please you kno-'

'Jake, there's nothing more to say, just go spread the word on the reservation, we don't want this happening again.' And with that I turned and walked away. Walked right out of that life, My life as Isabella Swan.
