I own nothing but the plot. SM owns Twilight
Holy shit
"Come on Charlie, we board first. I hope you don't mind but, I upgraded you to first class with me. There's more privacy that way." She said, the last part with a wink. She's winking at me, at Me plain Charlie Swan. I mean yeah I have been told by some people that I'm attractive. Still thought I'm nothing special, like right now all I'm wearing is some ratty old ripped up jeans that have seen better days and a plain dark blue t-shirt under my rain jacket. It's like I already said nothing special. So just my luck a woman of her looks hit's on me and she's crazy. She has to be to come up to a complete stranger like this and on top of that tell me not to move closer to my baby girl. What the fuck? As I'm walking with her to board, because I'm just asking for trouble, I get up the nerve to ask her something.
"Alice just out of curiosity how did you know my name? Oh and why shouldn't I move closer to my daughter? It's kind of rude of you to come up to me saying all that and not explain till I'm stuck on a plane with you. That's just my opinion though." I manage out the last of my rant a lot more confident than I felt or thought I'd be able to.
"If I wanted you to run screaming from me and lose my first chance at getting to know my soul mate I would have. Here you can have the window seat."
I was so God smacked by what she said that I didn't protest sitting let alone staying on the plane with her that I just plopped down in the window seat.
"First, I would like to tell you," she started again. "That I'm psychic in a way. That's how I knew about you. My first vision involved us and two other people who you don't need to worry about yet." She finished with complete confidence but, I saw a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Uh, mmm, what am I suppose to say to that? Prove it? Listen your very attractive but, you can't just tell someone something like that after you told them that your soul mates and that they shouldn't move closer to their little girl. It's not normal." I told her in a hesitant whisper. I didn't want to cause a commotion on the plane before it even taxies out.
"It's okay Charlie you'll be comfortable with it by the time we get to the hotel. And then you and I can get more comfortable together." She told me and, it wasn't in a slutty way of any sort. It was in a content way of someone looking forward to the future. "Before we get any further though I do have one more thing to tell you and I'll answer all your questions that I see. If you come up with any I didn't answer you can ask at the hotel once we get to out room."
"Our room?" I asked utterly stunned stupid.
"Of course silly, now as I was about to say. Charlie I'm a vampire. I know I sound like a complete loon but, look at me. My eyes are an odd color, you haven't seen me breathe since we entered the plane and if you were to touch me I'd be ice cold and as hard as marble. Look at my teeth," She paused to have me look and, oh holy shit their sharp she wasn't kidding and isn't crazy. "On top of all that I'm inhumanly strong and indestructible. If this plane went down, which it won't I wouldn't have let you on if it would, I wouldn't have a scratch." As she finished she looked at me with the most scared hopeful eyes.
"Okay your wondering what I eat. Well actually I don't eat but, I drink animal blood, I don't sleep, and I can go out in the sun just not where anyone can see me. I'll take you for a run tonight and I'll show you at sunrise what I mean."
"Well that leaves one question to ask and you can explain the rest as we go. I really need this one answered though. If we're soul mates does that mean your going to change me, does that mean I won't see my little girl? I can't go with out being in her life and seeing her feeling her hugs or missing from her life it'll kill me. Sorry for rambling." I rushed out before she could stop me from saying it.
"Charlie honey, I would never dream of taking you out of our little girl's life. Yes I said "our". Rene` wouldn't know how to be a mother even if someone gave her a mother's intuition shot right in her ass." She said the first part indignantly and finished with, "I will change you but, it won't be for a while. I can't tell you when it would screw everything up. I can tell you though that you won't lose your little girl."
January 21st, 2003 (this is now 'present' time in the story) ~ CPOV
That was sixteen years ago now. After that my darling Alice talked about everything I needed to know; all the way from how her power works, to her family although not in any detail, and then the Volturi and red-eyed vampires. She said that she couldn't stay with me yet that I'd know why when her family finally moved to Forks but, we met in Seattle for Christmas every year after and Port Angeles for Valentines Day.
Once a year in March we'd meet in Alaska for our anniversary. On rare occasions we'd meet in Port Angeles near the airport that I'm heading to now to pick up my Bella from the airport. She hasn't been home in four years, actually that was one of the emergency's. I had just started to leave after Bella's flight took off and ran into Alice. She told me I should prepare for a phone call from Bella telling me she didn't want to come back to Forks. Alice said that Bella would be distraught because it would be after she had a fight with Rene` because Bella wanted to live with me and Rene` told her no. The reason for not wanting to come back was because it would be to tempting to "accidently" missing her flight till she was graduated from school here in Forks. Right now though I'm ecstatic because she's not only coming back but, she'll be living with me.
Bella POV~
I was finally going home. It would have been four years earlier if Rene`, I mean 'mom', wouldn't have said no to spite Dad. She thinks he was filling my head with non-sense so I'd love Forks and him more and leave her. As if, I have been the parent in our relationship. I'm happy to say the only thing I inherited from her is my height and a little bit of her hair color. Everything from my eyes to my athletic build to my personality is from my Daddy.
My hair is what I've been told is a mahogany brown, I just say it's a mix of my Dads chocolate colored curls and Rene`s short auburn waves. So of course I grew my hair long to show off my curls I get from my dad. It works really well to annoy her, especially with it almost touching my butt. But I got screwed in the height department at being 5'4". It was like God decided to make me short ahead of time to get back at me for growing my hair long to annoy Rene`.
Not fair a in the least.
I was gathering up my bags when I heard my Dads gruff bass voice causing me to spin around and show case my overt clumsiness of which no one knows where it came from seeing as how neither of my parents shows a hint of ever being that way.
Soon I felt myself being scooped up. Looking up I saw my Dads smiling and deceptively young face looking down at me. I swear if I hadn't seen him all my life I'd swear he never aged after twenty-five. When you look close though you can make out lines of happiness that come from thirty-five years of smiles and laughing.
I will admit that my Dad is a handsome man. The worst part though is that the few people I knew in school that I actually showed pictures of him too all became obsessed with how 'hot' he is. Nasty! I couldn't resist squealing out while throwing my arms around him.
"Daddy, I've missed you so much!" Then proceeded with happy tears rolling down my face as I hugged him with everything I had in me. "Don't ever let mom take me away from you again. The only reason I got out was because I had Phil to help talk her into it." I'm sure we made a spectacle but I could care less I was home with my Dad.
"I love you too Bella Bean. Come on let's get this luggage to the cruiser. We'll stop for Chinese food on the way home. I have a surprise for you." No matter how much I hate that nick-name I never tire of hearing it. He's the only one allowed though all others will be chewed out and if second offense is made a cold shoulder will be given. There isn't a third yet as no ones pushed it yet.
