Bella's Terrible Week
Prologue
Sixteen year old Bella was sitting in the living room finishing her dinner, and watching the game with her father on the small flat screen. Charlie's team of choice, of course, were the Mariners. It was the major league baseball team that represented their home state of Washington. Ichiro Suzuki had just hit a two run homerun that tied their game against the Rangers, finally, in the bottom of the sixth inning.
They lived in the small town of Forks. She has moved in with her father a year before, after deciding that her mother, Renee, and her new husband, Phil, needed to spend a little more time together. The first year she had been here had been an interesting one, to say the least. In that year, she had managed to put herself in the worst danger she had ever put herself in. She had made aquaintences with a clan of vampires living just on the outskirts of the town, and was currently dating one of those said vampires. Her best friend, a Quileute indian who lived down on the reservation in La Push, was a werewolf. The Quileute werewolves and the Cullen vampires were sworn enemies, you could say. That was a long story that Bella had had to figure out without very much help. But, to sum it all up, her best friend, Jacob and her boyfriend, Edward, hated each other and could not be in the same room together. Bella dispised the little complication of the hatred and the treaty between the Quileute Indians and the Cullen clan. But, the treaty did not stop either side putting their lives in danger to protect Bella when the time came that her life needed protecting.
That's when the phone rang. Charlie got up to answer it. Bella finished her dinner in silence, not paying any attention to what Charlie was saying, or trying to figure out who it was that he was talking to. After a moment, however, Charlie spoke.
"Bella," he said in a strained and slightly raised voice.
"Yeah, Dad?"
"Sam is on the phone. He would like to talk to you." Bella rose from her seat and went into the kitchen to answer the phone.
"Hey, Sam," she answered.
"Hey, Bella, I've got some bad news for you."
"What is it Sam?"
"Jake and Billy are dead, Bella. They were murdered. Attacked by that wild, red-headed woman. The pack found them just a little while ago. I'm sorry. I know how close you were with him. Don't worry. We will track down this blood-sucker woman and do whatever means necessary to kill her."
"Thanks for calling, Sam." Bella hung up the phone without another word. She went up to her room.
Meanwhile, at the Cullen residence:
Alice gasped at the vision she had just had.
"What is it?" asked Carlisle.
"Edward. You have to get to Bella. Now! Jacob...." Edward did not ask any questions. He had seen the vision Alice had just had and froze momentarily, until Alice spoke. He rose from where he was sitting, said good-bye to Alice and Carlisle (the rest had been out hunting at the time) and ran as fast as he could at vampire speed, across town and to Bella's house. He looked up. Her window was open. He ran up the side of the building and into her room through her window. She was on her bed, in uncontrollable sobs. Edward went over and lay down next to her on the bed. He put his arms around her as she sobbed. She did not notice his presence. Neither of them moved. Edward listened carefully for any signs of Charlie. He did not need Charlie knowing he was here and how he had gotten in without using the front door. Also, he did not need Charlie asking how he had known about the phone call without anyone telling him. But, Charlie was downstairs in the livingroom, absorbing the news, and no longer paying attention to the game. He would not be moving from that spot for a while.
Two hours later, he finally heard Charlie walk into the kitchen and pick up the phone. He listened intently to Charlie's half of the conversation.
"Alice? It's Charlie. Could you come over for a while? Bella needs you." Edward listened carefully as Charlie, unnesseccarily, told Alice what Sam had told him had happened. They all knew the truth. Except for Charlie, that is. Edward knew that Alice would probably bring Carlisle along with her and call Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and Esme on the way over. They were there in a flash. Edward heard them arrive, but did not move from Bella's side. He wasn't sure that Charlie would want him to be there; he was still mad about what he thought had happened to make Bella want to leave home meer months ago. Edward rolled his eyes at the thought.
After a few minutes of ensuring that Charlie was all right and that he was eating and drinking the proper amount, Carlisle came up the stairs into Bella's room.
"Edward, son, how is she?" Carlisle asked, as he closed the door behind him. He was speaking in a quiet tone, so as not to alert Charlie of Edward's presence.
"Not so good, Carlisle. I don't even think she knows that we are here. She hasn't moved once since I've been here or spoken or anything."
"She's gone into shock. What happened? Alice wouldn't tell me anything. She just made me call Esme and have them all come home as soon as possible because Bella needed us now." Edward sighed, sitting up and facing Carlisle.
"The dogs....I mean, Jacob Black and his father were attacked. Victoria got to them. She knew that they were close to Bella and she was trying to get information out of them. They wouldn't say anything so she attacked, and killed, both of them. One of the others in the pack, Sam Uley, was the one who called Bella and Charlie. Charlie doesn't know the truth of what really happened, of course."
"Okay. Well, that's something that we can handle."
"How long will she be in shock?"
"I can only give you the medical perspective, but, it could be as much as a few days. It's different with each person."
Well, that was it. Hope you liked it. Please review.
