i do not own twilight or any characters i have used thanks

"Bells wake your arse up, we're here" the engine stopped as I sat up trying to wake my self.

I didn't get much sleep the night before, forks was not a place I happily came back to. The blur in my eyes past as I took in my surroundings, the two storey house I'd grown up in hadn't changed much, the blue shutters had faded and the yellow paint was a lot lighter but the roof was still on. The lawn out front looked like it hadn't been touched for weeks. Looks like Emmett's been left his childhood job. The trees that stood tall around the house didn't look as scary as they had done years back but they still didn't look inviting. The cruiser sitting in the driveway signalled the Charlie was home waiting for us.

"Lets go Emmett, I can see dads moustache twitching from here" I climbed out the truck and jumped to the ground. Jesus! Have people forgotten how short I am! I could hear Emmett laughing as I walked up the front path.

"You want a parachute for next time sis" I gave him the stink eye as I pushed the front door open, "Mum! Dad! Its me and bells" he kicked his shoes to the side of the door and walked to the fridge.

I followed him wanting to grab a sandwich for lunch, after a 3 hour drive, the small breakfast I ate that morning felt like dust in the bottom of my stomach. The kitchen that seemed so huge when I was little now looked just the same as the day I had left, the tiny kitchen table only had room for two chairs, memories of dinner at home when mum and dad would stand at the sideboard while me and Emmett took the chairs, sprang up behind my eyes. See this is why I don't come home!

"I'm gonna go check their room, maybe dads out back cleaning his fishing stuff" Emmett was half way up the stairs when he spoke so I didn't feel the need to answer. I finished up my sandwich and put the plate I had used in the sink, a flash of light reflecting from my watch made me look up to the small window in front of me. mum used to stand by the sink on those rare sunny days and watch any wildlife out back, but now as I leaned forward to see through the dusted glass I couldn't see no wildlife. In the days to come someone would tell me Emmett came into the room at that point and made a joke about our parents running away and leaving us nothing, they will tell me he shock me because I never answered. They will also tell me that I had to be removed from that room screaming by my best friend over four hours later but to this day ill never have my own memories other than what I saw through that small window.

There's always moments in your life you want to forget, minutes in a day you wish you could remove or replace but how in the world do you replace the scene of your parents lying in their own blood in their backyard?. Is there any medicine to replace the memory of your sweet mothers face matted with her own blood covered hair? If there is, can someone past some my way. "bells you have to drink something" a distant voice asked, I think it may have been Rose, the front door had opened a few times and voices came and went but I never moved from my spot by the fireplace.

"Isabella, my names detective Cullen, I need to ask you some questions. I know this is hard right now but if I can get all the information while its still fresh it will make this go a lot smother" the man that owned the voice stood more than a foot behind me.

"So you've seen your dead parents lying on the ground, you've watched as some men stand over them taking pictures like they are on show for the evening. You've watched as your brother screams over his mothers body willing her to wake up like this is all a horrible nightmare? No you have no idea how hard this is" I heard a sigh from the man and then he moved from the room, rose still gripping my hand stood again to answer the door.

"Thank you Mrs may, ill let Isabella and Emmett know" she shook her head and shut the door "do neighbours ever stop being so god damn nosey!" I heard more footsteps coming from the kitchen into the living room. "you need to give her some time, believe me it will be a while before she forgets what happened here today"

"Well this is my card in case she feels ready, if not can you ask Isabella or Emmett to call down to the station tomorrow morning, there's a few things that will need to be collected"

"Thanks ill speak to her" more footsteps as the front door closed behind them.

"Right okay so they said no one is allowed into the yard and your parents bedroom" rose stood by my side glancing behind her every few seconds "my aunt was right Bella, that detective is easy on the eyes" to some she may be insensitive with her wording but I knew she was just being my best friend and trying to take my mind off things.

"Where's Emmett?" I gripped her hand again as she took the seat beside me.

"He went down to the station with the police, almost the whole town is down at the station, they want to know how their beloved chief and his wife was murdered in his own back yard. Its put fear in all of them."

Over the next few days a blur of people visited the house, some bringing food, some just to say they where there if we needed anything. A few guys from the station came to sit with me on the third days, they just sat around me laughing between each other, they spoke of their own memories of my parents. Rose kept trying to give me things to eat but I just couldn't stomach anything. I felt disgusted in my self and I knew id just bring it back up. How can I eat when my parents lay on a cold slab down in the morgue with not even a breath passing their lips. My mum would be taking me shopping right now, telling me about the new things she's being doing in her little clubs. My dad would be taking Emmett fishing on one of his rare days off. Dinners around the TV because dads bones weren't strong enough now to hold him for long.

Detective Cullen came the next day explaining to Emmett that they had only a few leads at the moment and nothing concrete enough that he could tell us about. my heart broke even further knowing my parents killing was still out there, maybe they were still killing, where they young? Did they hate my parents? Did a man or women that murdered someone ever answer these questions? After he had explained everything he went through to the backyard with another office, I neither cared nor wanted to know what they were doing.

"Bells" I looked up to find Emmett standing by me. "I know things are hard, for both of us but we need to think about the funeral. Detective Cullen said that things will be ready in the next couple of days" I knew he meant they were done with their bodies "errm... i can go to the funeral home if your not up to it, just tell me if there's anything you want to happen and ill explain it to them" I looked up to his broken face as he mumbled through the speech I knew he had practised "their room is open now so I can get their clothes ready or you can do that"

"Thanks em, ill let you know if I think of anything for the funeral home but you can do the clothes if that's okay, I'm not up to going through their things yet" he gave me a warm smile and a kiss to my forehead. The door bell chimed again probably another neighbour with food and everyone seemed to start moving around again while I sat in the same spot.

Another plate was pushed in front of me, I didn't move or even look at the person that presented it, they knew I wouldn't eat it and would probably remove it after about ten minutes. The room became silent other than the low hum from the sports channel, we couldn't bare to change it. After around thirty minutes detective Cullen reappeared carrying a dark brown bag, he passed it the office by his side and told him it needed to go to forensics and the officer soon left. He began speaking to Emmett in a hushed tone, either not wanting me to hear what was said or just wanting to stay quiet. Time started passing again at what seemed a slow pace, when the door bell rang loud through the front room Emmett was the one to answer, even though I couldn't hear the words his voice seem strained. When he walked back into the room a balding older man followed him.

"This gentleman says he's Mr Jenks, mums lawyer" he cleared his throat and asked the man to take a seat.

"I am very sorry to hear of your parents passing" he looked my way as he spoke then around the room "I know you wasn't expecting me, your mother wished that I wasn't to be known to you children until something like this was to happen." I just sat and watched the man as he placed his briefcase on the table in the centre of the room, he removed a pile of papers from it and then sat back waiting for either one of us to speak or move. To say I was shocked this man even existed would be an understatement, mum never once mentioned having a lawyer or even speaking to one. They weren't wealthy by any means and I remember a few times while growing up the worried looks my parents shared when the bills came through the door, so why would she ever need one?

Before I could begin to ask Mr jenks my question Emmett spoke. "Mr jenks why would my mother ever need a lawyer, her parents past when she was only three and they were all only children so we have no other living relatives. My father was a small town police chief, some months we barely got by so there was never any chance to put money away for a rainy day"

Mr jenks cleared his throat and loosened his tie before spreading a couple of sheets out on the table. "Your mother really left me a lot to explain" he sighed before carrying on " your mothers grandparents were very well off, her grandfather owned his own company from the age of 25 and they owned a lot of property across Washington and one in Portland. When their daughter, your grandmother, was born they were one of the wealthiest families on this side of America. They passed away in a car accident only months after your grandparents married" Emmett was now looking through the papers Mr jenks had layed out, they looked to be a family tree. "When her parents died your grandmother went to see a lawyer to make sure any future children she had would be okay after she was gone. When they past away the papers for her mothers will were hidden until Renee reached of age, she then came to me asking to write up a new will leaving everything to any children she had, she also used some of the money to do up all the properties her grandparents had left, since their death they've been left to become derelict and one was even ripped down just leaving the land it sat on. She even paid for this house so you children could grown up without ever fearing the house could be taken from you."

Mr Jenks then removed more papers from his briefcase before placing it by his feet. "wait a minute, im sorry to interrupt you Mr Jenks but after everything that happened today I'm just trying to get my head around everything you've just said, my mother knew she had how ever much money sat in an account somewhere and did nothing about it? My mother wouldn't do that! She knew how much her and dad struggled sometimes. I heard my father crying some nights!" Emmett moved across the room to hold my shoulders. like I was ever gonna hit the guy!

"Bella that's something only mum would have know the answers to but I guess we will just never know" Mr Jenks cleared his throat from behind us making us both turn to him.

"Your mother left you both letters for you to read if anything like this was to happen, it states you are both to read them after the funeral" he pointed to two envelopes now sitting on the table. "Now I need to read the full will out clearly for both of you to hear and as your here detective I would like you to act as a witness" the detective nodded from where he stood "also your friend, sorry miss I didn't catch your name"

Rose stepped forward and put her out for him to shake "its Rosalie hale, sir." he smiled for less than a second before taking a step back and grabbing a sheet from the pile he had on the table.

"Miss Hale you say, I'm sorry but was your grandmother also named Rosalie?" Rose watched him for a minute before nodding her head.

"Yes I believe so, I've never met my grandparents Mr Jenks, my grandmother died when I was young and my grandfather turned to drink, I couldn't tell you if he was even alive any more, why do you ask?" She gave me a confused look which I shared, I was also intrigued as to how this man knew her grandparents.

"I'm sorry to leave you waiting Miss Hale but if I can read the will out first I'm sure the questions you have will be answered by the time I'm done." Rose looked a little sad for a second then settled by my side once again taking a hold of my hand. "okay if we are all settled I cant start" everyone in the room nodded their heads and Mr Jenks cleared his throat before getting settled with the papers in front of him. "I Mrs Renee swan of no 44 6th street of forks and Washington state hereby revoke all former testamentary disposition made by me and declare this my last will. Article 1, I direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon as practicable. Article 2, I hereby give my children Miss Isabella Marie Swan of SW main street, Portland and Mr Emmett Charlie Swan of SW 6th avenue, Portland, All hold over any estate under my name that being 6024 SE 22ND street, mercer island, WA 98040, 3414 E shore drive, Seattle, WA 98112 also a plot of land being 9999 la push road, forks WA 98331. I also leave them an equal share of 1,500,000 million dollars to do with as they so wish. Article 3, I hereby give Miss Rosalie Hale of SW main street, Portland the sum of fifty thousand dollars and the estate under my name being 01962 SW military road, Portland OR 97219. I also leave Miss Rosalie Hale a letter written by me to do with as she sees fit."

As Mr Jenks finished reading I could feel Roses grip tighten around my hand, I slowly looked around at the shocked faces before me, no one spoke for what seemed like hours but was only minutes.

"Mr Jenks I'm sorry to push you along but is there anything I need to sign, I have a few things to do at the station so I need to leave" he seemed upset that he had disturbed the silence of the room. he stepped forward when Mr Jenks presented a folder and pen, after he signed he walked to Emmett to shake his hand "ill be around at some point tomorrow if we have anything else you need to know" after no one acknowledge that he spoke he slipped out of the door.

I could see Roses frozen face only inches from mine, I knew she would have a million and one questions but after the barrage of information I had taken into today I don't think I could take any more. I stood after kissing her cheek, trying not to wobble on unsteady legs as I walked to the stairs. Passing Emmett I placed a kiss on his forehead, he tried to grab my hand but I shock my head hoping he would understand more than anyone what was going on inside me. I made my way to my bedroom for the first time since coming to forks more than 4 days ago passing my parents room, knowing I couldn't go in I blow a kiss at the closed door and wished my parents a silent goodnight. After a quick change of my much needed sweats told you so rose! I dropped on to my bed, I don't think it was more than 5 seconds before sleep over took my tired brain.

A/N untill next time and please review xoxox
