A.N.: Sorry I have been away guys, May was really busy and my sister passed away due to Lupus complications in June so life has been a little upside down for me. Hold those you love close because you never know when it will be the last time you see them.

Thank you all for your wonderful reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own, unfortunately. Though I do hope y'all enjoy my version.

Ch. 4

The Talk with Billy

The gravel flew as Charlie skidded to a halt in the driveway of his best friend. His anger had risen in the time since the talk and traveling to Billy's. He was angry that his best friend had hidden this from him, though he understood that it could have been for his protection, he was also angry that Jacob had touched his daughter in such an inappropriate manner and that Billy previously had been so nonchalant about the kid's anger issues.

He stomped up the ramp he had helped to build and to the front door that he rapped hard on. Charlie had put on his uniform, gun strapped to his side because this wasn't just the visit of an angry father, this would be a professional visit of a cop as well. He heard tires squeak of the linoleum floor and roll to the front door.

Billy was taken aback by Charlie in his sheriff's uniform, face beet red. He could clearly see the anger and protection burning in the old man's eyes. Billy breathed heavily out and opened the front door.

"Come on in chief," he said as he turned his wheelchair around and headed for the kitchen. "To what do I owe this visit?" Charlie waited until he had set down drinks for them both on the little round table before taking a seat.

"This little visit is about your son Jacob and his actions today." Charlie's replied authoritatively.

"What has he done this time?" Billy sighed heavily his age showing on his face.

"He sexually assaulted Bella," Charlie said slamming his fist down on the table making the native man jump.

"He did what?! I haven't seen Jake all day and now I know why. Oh, that boy is going to get it when he gets home. He knows better than to touch women against their will." He replied his eyes narrowing. The chief's anger boiled at the words that had come from Charlie's mouth, he planned to rip into his child the first moment he saw him.

He and his mother, Sarah, had taught the boy better, She would have had a heart attack if she heard what he had done and then turned around and whipped him raw. He imagined Sarah was seething mad in the spirit world.

"That's not all he did either. A huge russet wolf ran from my place after Bella headed off to the Cullens to have her hand fixed that she broke on Jake's face when she punched him." He replied.

"She punched him? Will she be alright? Shit, Hopefully, it's not bad the wolves are hard as a rock. I know you're mad at me right now Charlie I can see it, but I couldn't tell you, most of the people in the tribe don't even know about the wolves. It's for everyone's protection. We are also under the treaty to not reveal it, So as not to reveal our enemies to the world. We have only one enemy the cold ones and you know some of them." Billy replied.

"Cold ones? Like Vampires?" Charlie asked all color draining from his face as he pieced together what Billy said. Vampires, cold ones, cold skin, Cullens.

"Yes, Vampires," Billy replied watching his friend closely.

"The Cullens are vampires?" Charlie replied in his answer a cold feeling hitting his gut like cold water having been poured over him. "Bella knows?"

"Yes, they are and yes she does. You don't have to worry about them drinking from her, not that they couldn't lose control, but they don't drink from humans, at least purposely." He replied and Charlie's eyes snapped to his.

"Do they plan to turn her? Does she want that?" Charlie asked

"From what I understand the answer is yes to both, but I believe that would be better answered by Bella. However, if they do they'll start a war and the wolves will have to kill them all." Billy replied looking almost happy about that fact.

"Kill Bella too?" Billy nodded.

"She would be one of them Charlie and as a newborn completely out of control." Charlie's chair flew back into the wall shattering against it his face red.

"You're happy about that, about killing a child, no children, 6 of them. Like their lives don't matter to you or them. I guess They don't after the hikers. This is my daughter and you don't dare threaten her or lay a hand on her or you will have me to deal with." Charlie screamed his anger boiling. 5 Boys; Sam, Jared, Paul, Seth, and Embry; ran into the house half clothed looking at the square off between the old men.

"We didn't hurt the hikers," Sam said speaking up in defense of his pack. "The red-eyed vampires did. Our wolves protect people."

"Oh, so that's why you're so willing to attack the Cullens when they've never caused any trouble here. Listen here and listen to good Sam, Bella is my daughter, if she wants to become a vampire to be with the person she loves then you are going to let her. You of all people know the way she looked that night in the forest, you know what she went through. Edward makes her happy, even if I am unhappy with him myself, but you do not get to dictate my daughter's choices. Especially after the little incident that happened tonight." Sam looked taken aback at Charlie's unwavering protection of his daughter.

"What incident?" Sam asked not having phased in hours and not knowing what was going on.

"Jake kissed Bella and Bella broke her hand on Jake's face." Embry supplied having seen the memory right before he phased out.

"Bella is terrified of Jacob right now. She doesn't even want to be at the house and now knowing Jacob is a wolf and could easily get to her I don't blame her. She didn't stand a chance against him without him being a wolf with superstrength." Charlie filled in anger boiling.

"The matter will be dealt with swiftly Charlie, I apologize for Jacobs behavior. I as alpha give Bella the right to become a vampire should that be her choosing with no retribution on the Cullens and no wolf will fight the order." Sam said extending his hand.

"I thank you, Sam," Charlie said shaking his hand. Billy rolled up and placed his hand on Charlie's forearm.

"I'm sorry Charlie. That was wrong of me please give Bella our sincerest of apologies and the alphas commandment. Sam and I will deal with Jake. I'm sure the Cullens will want retribution, but please don't let them kill him." The pain in the old man's eyes at those words cut through Charlie.

"I would never let them kill him, but I can't deny Edward a few good shots and I might get that Emmett boy to take a few for me. Remind Jacob that you don't harm those weaker than you and you don't touch a woman, especially in a sexual manner without her consent." Charlie replied laying a hand on the old man's shoulder as he nodded his head in defeat.

"We will discuss retribution with the Cullens, we won't let them harm him too much Billy. Maybe just enough to get his head on straight and Emily may take her wooden spoon to him, Lord knows she's a mother hen to them all." All the men gathered laughed.

"She reminds me a lot of Sarah. You should meet her Charlie, you'd like her." Charlie nodded.

"I'm sure I would, I like Sarah she was a little spitfire, but man oh man you ran for the hills and don't you dare touch her cooking food, she was quick as lighting with that wooden spoon, she'd leave your hand red for a week." The boys laughed again the story reminding them very much of Emily. "I better go check on Bella, see how her hand is and make my own apologies." Charlie headed out the door feeling better after that talk.

A.N.: I hope you all enjoyed the first part of the retribution from Charlie? I expect he can get pretty angry if you threaten his daughter. Next chapter Charlie goes to the Cullens. What do you think will happen?
