I do not own Twilight or any of the characters, I'm just borrowing them.

I am sorry, this is only going to be a short chapter, My grandfather died 2 days ago, and im trying to deal with his loss, but thought I had better stick in a chapter so you don't think I have forgotten you.

Bella's POV

Charlie arrived home about 2 hours after I did. He came in and hung his gun and coat on the hook behind the door. I was in the kitchen making vegetarian lasagne and salad. I enjoyed cooking for Charlie, but it was more a case of if I didn't then nobody would.

He came in and slumped in a chair. "Hey Bells, what's cooking?"

I looked over at him, "Lasagne Char….Dad." I had to watch myself doing that. "Oh hey I wanted to ask about wild animals around these parts. Anything I should be aware of?"

"Well we have the basic deer and elk Bells, not that you should worry about them. But if your going to wander round in the Northern woods don't go alone. You have Cougars and black bears in there. Maybe the odd wolf still lurking around." Charlie shrugged. "Any particular reason you were asking."

"No, its just when I got home I thought someone was in the woods across the road, but they moved way to fast to be human, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be eaten walking from my truck to the door hahaha."

"In the woods here? Don't get many animals this close to town. Must have been a pretty big cougar, just got lost on his way to dinner. Don't worry, they very rarely come this close to the town." Charlie snorted a laugh. HAHA yeah real funny Charlie..

We ate in silence, until Charlie declared there was a super important thing on TV he had to watch. While doing the dishes I could hear a running commentary on today's baseball game. Yeah real important DAD.

I went upstairs to do my homework and listen to some music. I still couldn't shake that feeling that I was being watched. I looked up at my window and was sure that I was the faintest movement. I got up a threw my window open. No noise, no movement, no nothing. Wow I was getting paranoid.

I decided to give up and have an early night. Maybe lack of sunshine was causing me to go a bit nutty. A decent nights sleep would fix that. Tomorrow the sun may come out.

?POV

I had followed her all the way home from school. From the woods across the road I could smell her. Her natural scent, her deodorant, her shampoo. I could smell it all. And it was so strong I could almost taste her. I knew if I just crossed the road, flashed her my best smile, she would willing be mine. I could eliminate her and save my family from what I knew was coming. I could rip her throat out so fast nobody would hear her scream. I wanted to wrap my fingers through her hair and pull her head back until her neck snapped.

Until she looked right at me.

I knew I had to get out of there. If I didn't and she saw me then we would all be in even more trouble. Damn her for being the Chief of Polices' daughter. She was to damn conspicuous. If she disappeared then we would surely be found out. I had to find a way to lure her into the woods, and maul her beyond recognition so it looked like an animal attack. I just had to gain her trust.

I run as fast as my legs would carry me, all the way home where I fell into the arms of my loved one.

I had said I was going hunting and now when confronted about my black eyes, I admitted there was anything worth hunting that I wouldn't get caught for.

Thank heavens Edwards wasn't here to hear my lies.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I hope it was better than nothing.

Who is lurking, wanting to kill Bella? It will be who you least expect.

So hit review, makes me update even faster. If I get enough reviews I may even update tomorrow after the funeral.
