Chapter 3: Surprise
(Serenity POV)
"This is a really bad idea Rain." I told Rayna as we approached a small diner that was in the center of the town. The town of forks was actually relatively small, it only looks bigger than it actually is because of all the forest.
"Chillax, Ren, we're going to be living here for a while so we might as well get to know the town folk."
"Yeah but mom said to stay at home." I retorted. I didn't much like defying our mother.
"Seriously Ren, we've been over this you need to live a little! Do you have no sense of adventure?!" Rayna questioned me in her annoyed voice. Rayna tended to easily get annoyed, especially when you don't do something she wants. This unfortunately for me was almost all the time.
"Whatever, your still taking the blame if mom gets mad at us." I said with a huff as we entered the diner.
The diner was actually packed with people that all turned to stare at us as we entered and took a seat at an empty booth near the back. There was one person in particular that caught my attention. Charlie Swan. Our father. He has short cropped slightly messy mocha brown hair with honey brown eyes. He's wearing a dark navy blue police uniform and black penny loafers. The only reason I recognized him was because of the pictures our mother had showed to us when we were younger, and we had asked why we didn't have a father like most of the other little kids.
Rain, he's here… what should we do? I questioned her through my mind so the other patrons of the diner wouldn't over hear our conversation.
I noticed him too as soon as we walked in. I don't know what to do Ren, but we can't just walk right back out now that would be ridiculous. She answered me.
"What can I get for you two young ladies?" a waitress with a nametag that read 'Eva' asked us as she handed us a couple of menus.
"Um…I'll have the garden burger with a side of fries and a cherry coke." I told her placing my order.
"And I'll have the same." Rayna added handing her back our menus back.
"Your order will be right out." Eva said with a friendly smile.
The whole time Rayna and I sat in the booth eating our food everyone just kept staring at us. It was actually starting to kind of piss me off. Charlie on the other hand had left like ten minutes after we sat down, which I'm happy about because I'm not ready for the big reveal just yet. I'm sure Mom is going to be visiting him sometime today anyway, and I want her to talk to him first to explain things, I mean sixteen years ago she did kind of just up and leave him without even saying goodbye.
I swear to god, Ren, if these hick town mother fuckers don't quit staring at us I'm gonna blow a gasket and most likely accidently catch this place on fire! Rayna hissed at me through her mind. Letting me know she was severely pissed off. But truth be told I wasn't far behind her. It's like these small towners never seen a pair of twins before.
Yeah me too…so let's go before we blow our cover and freak people out. I suggested placing money on the table to cover our tab and a generous tip for our waitress.
Without another word Rayna and I just silently left.
(Rayna POV)
I feel like I'm on display at the zoo with the way everyone was staring at us. Way to make me feel welcomed here, I guess they don't get many new comers around here very often. Oh well, they'll just have to get used to it, cause we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
"This town is pretty dang boring, I think we've seen everything there is to see here…we should probably get back to the house before mom does." I told serenity as I headed back towards the house. If mom gets there before we do she's not gonna be too happy, cause she told us to stay there and unpack the rest of our stuff. At least we got the unpacking done before we left the house.
"Yeah your probably right." Serenity agreed.
The ride back to the house was quiet. Luckily for us we beat mom back to the house.
"Girls!?" Katrina called to Serenity and I as she walked into the house. She had been gone for about eight hours now taking care of her business.
"Yeah Mom?" I questioned her.
"Sorry it took me so long, but I finally think it's time for you girls to meet your father." She told us. I honestly don't know if I'm ready for this yet or not.
(Charlie POV)
I'm not as dumb as some people in this town may think. Forks isn't just a place where humans live. I know this because me and my daughter Bella aren't entirely human, nope we're Witches. And I also happen to know that the Cullen's are Vampires and the Blacks down in La Push are Werewolves. Of course with me being Chief of Police, I have to do my research on the people living in my town.
"Bella you home?" I called out for Bella as I walked in the front door of our small white two-story, two bedroom house. I was officially off duty for the night.
"Yeah Dad! In the Kitchen. " she replied. Walking into the kitchen I found her making what looked like spaghetti and meatballs. Mmmm, smells delicious.
"Smells good kiddo, I'm starving." I told her as I took a seat at the table.
"It'll be done in a minute. You want me to get you a beer out of the fridge?"
"Nah, that's ok Bells, I got it." I told her, getting back up and grabbing a ice cold captain Morgan out of the fridge. Popping the top I took a nice long swig to quench my thirst.
Just as I was about to sit back down at the table a knock sounded at the front door. I wonder who that could be. With I sigh I set I drink down on the table and went to open the door, only to get the biggest surprise of my life. Standing in front of me was none other than Katrina Salem, the woman who walked out on me sixteen years ago without so much as a goodbye or a kiss my ass mother fucker I never truly loved you like I said I did, and two young girls who looked to be twins, the same girls that had walked into the diner earlier today.
