Wow! I'm so surprised that I got so many reviews on this story truthfully I didn't mean to make it the Salem witch trials since she is technically in forks but anyways I just want you to know that I more than likely will NOT look anything up on it and make everything I say up. Yes the eligibility thing is more than likely wrong but you never know! And I think it does fit the story line and time era pretty well. Thanks so much to my first reviewers!

You guys helped me a lot and sorry for anyone who wants this to be more realistic but I don't think it will happen. Sorry! Any-whosers, (I like that word) on with the story!

Disclaimer: I own nothing!!!!

Charlie's POV:

Sending my daughter out into the market got the attention of many eligible men. She didn't say a word the entire time but I got at least sixteen visits from bachelors in town. Now all I had to do was find the perfect man for her and get them wed.

I know I'll invite them over one by one and get to know them over dinner that Bella will make and serve. She never really says anything and it would be against society for her to talk to a man without being spoken to first so it should go perfectly. Maybe when I narrow the selection down a bit I'll let her chose! I just hope she doesn't show her clumsy side on her first meeting…

Bella's POV:

I got the books from town and left without saying a word to anyone but the book keeper that day and since then daddy's been getting loads of visitors. It's been two weeks and I have become fast friends with the book keeper. He is such a sweet old man and his son is the cutest little boy ever! The book keeper lends me books almost every day now because my nieces and nephews are doing so well! I'm proud to be their teacher even if I never get to see them use their knowledge out in public.

Daddy's having a friend over for dinner and he asked me to make it and be there usually I'm not allowed to meet his friends but I won't ask why. I had to cancel lessons today and the kids were so upset they almost started crying. Actually one of my nephews did start crying. Usually people hate to learn but I guess they enjoy me teaching them.

I decided to make something simple but tasty. I had all the ingredients for tonight's dinner and began cooking. (I don't know what they ate so use your imagination people!) I sampled the soup and it turned out better than I thought and the cherry pie smelled delicious. The main course had finally finished when the there was a knock on the door. I was glad that I had gotten ready during the wait for the dinner to be done or else I'd be doomed. My father answered the door and started talking as he sat down with his friend. I went out to meet them. They stood as I brought in the soup and my father introduced us.

"Bella this is my friend James Winton. James this is my daughter Bella." James grabbed my hand and kissed it. I blushed a little and gave him a small smile. I served dinner and everything was perfect. I was happy I didn't drop or brake anything by the end of the night. I cleaned the dishes and went to say good night to my father. I entered the room and gave him a hug "good night dad!" I turned to walk away.

"Bella?" he asked. I stopped and faced him. "What did you think of Mr. Winton?" he seemed sort of nervous. He was messing with his hands.

"He seems very nice. May I ask why you want to know my opinion?"He came over and put his hands on my shoulders and seemed to be struggling with what to say.

"My Bella, I believe it is time for you to get a husband. After you went to the market for me, many men have come asking for you. Mr. Winton was one of them and I believe he may be good for you. I'm not saying you're going to marry him but I am considering him. I have invited some of the others I liked over for dinner also. I just wanted to know if you think he might make a good husband for you?" he talked hurriedly but not too fast for me to think he was upset about marrying me off.

"You want me to get married?"I was in a daze it seemed as if I couldn't comprehend what he was saying.

"No, I would like to forever stay here with me but I'm afraid I can't support you and you are getting far too old. Not many others will come for all of the men these days want young women and I'm asking who you would like to marry because I want you to be happy." I felt like crying but I knew this day would come.

"I will think about him…as…as a husband after I see the others." I said in a dazed and tight voice. Before he could say anything I said good night again and left. I could hear his sigh as I left but I didn't turn back I went to my room and silently cried until was asleep. I didn't want to be married yet but I was fifteen and not many people lived long nowadays but still I thought I was pretty young to be married.

Alrighty here is the second chapter I know she seems a little overly sad that she is getting married but seriously she didn't want to be which is why she is crying at the end. PLEASE REVIEW!!!THANX!!!
