My Fallen Angel
Summary-
She was an Angel, but no matter how much he wanted her to be, she was not his Angel, she be longed to his son. He vowed to always be there for her, in any way he could be. That was why he was there for her when her father was murdered, not his son. And when his son left her in her time of need, he was there.
Chapter Four-
Bella stared at the building in front of her as she gripped and ungripped her hands. She could do this. She had to do this. She had to walk in there and see him to say her goodbyes. Bella jumped and looked over at Carlisle when he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It's alright Isabella. We're all here with you." He said softly to her. Bella looked around her at the only family she had left here in Forks. They were all there, even Edward. Bella sighed and reached over to grab Edward's hand hoping to get as much comfort as she could from him before forcing herself to walk into the Police Station.
As soon as the group entered the station they were met with middle aged man with short brown hair that was graying and warm brown eyes. The man walked over to Bella with a sad look. "Miss. Swan, I am Officer Lance, we spoke on the phone last night." He said sadly and as soon as Bella's eyes began to tear up he pulled her into a comforting hug, making sure to not pull her hand from Edward's. "I am so sorry, Bella. Your father was a great man and I wish that this never happened to either of you. He was taken from you too soon." Officer Lance told her as he gently rubbed her back as he let Bella cry on his shoulder.
"Can-can I see him?" Bella asked as she pulled away and began to wipe her eyes.
"Of course." Officer Lance said before leading the group through the station. Every time someone would stop them to give Bella their condolences, Bella would squeeze Edward's hand. Bella didn't want their condolences, all Bella wanted was her father to not be dead. "Here we are." Officer Lance said leading them to a small morgue, "Normally we don't allow more than one person in here at a time. But seeing as this is a special case, I will allow you to take as many people in there as you need." Officer Lance told Bella who instantly tightened her hand around Edward's.
"We will wait for you out here. We won't leave you." Carlisle said and the rest of the Cullen family nodded their head in agreement. Edward started to lead Bella into the room, but before he could lead her two steps away from Carlisle, Bella's unoccupied hand shot out and grabbed Carlisle's. Understanding the silent plea, Carlisle allowed Bella to drag him into the morgue with her and Edward. When the door shut behind them, Carlisle saw Edward shoot him an annoyed look, but thankfully refrained from saying anything.
"Oh god." Was all the warning they got from Bella before her legs gave out on her the moment she saw Charlie's body laying in front of her. Edward spun around as quickly as he could to catch her, but stopped the moment he saw Bella in Carlisle's arms. The moment Bella had felt the cool arms wrap around her waist, she turned and buried her head in Carlisle's chest not being able to look at Charlie's body at that moment. "I can't do this." She muttered softly, but the two vampires were able to hear it.
"It's okay Isabella, take your time. Don't force yourself to do anything you can't handle right now." Carlisle said softly as he began to run his hands up and down her back in a soothing motion. Carlisle knew that Bella needed to do this, to say her goodbyes to Charlie, but he would not push her to do anything that she could not handle. The two stayed in that position for a couple of minutes with Edward glaring at Carlisle as he comforted Bella.
'You do realize you could do something to comfort Isabella instead of standing there glaring at me.' Carlisle thought towards Edward who just tightened his jaw before turning his head away to glare at the wall. 'Yes, Edward, this is exactly what Isabella needs.' When Edward ignored him Carlisle had to resist the urge to snap at Edward to leave the room, and the only reason he resisted was because he knew Bella needed Edward there.
After a while Bella was able to gather enough strength to pull away from Carlisle and turn to look at Charlie's body. With a shaky breath, Bella forced her legs to walk the short distance towards Charlie's body with Carlisle close behind her encase her legs gave out on her again while Edward stayed where he was.
"Dad." Bella whispered as she took his hand in hers. The feel of his cold skin against her warm one caused the tears that she had been fighting back to once again come down. Charlie's hand was not suppose to be cold against hers, it was suppose to be warm. His body wasn't suppose to be lifeless, it was suppose to be full of life as he was there for her. It then hit her, her father was gone. He was never going to be sleeping across the hall from her snoring. He would never come home from work and sit down in front of the TV and watch sports as she cooked them dinner ever again. And never again would he go on his weekend fishing trips with Billy. Her father would never get to see her graduate. He would never get to see her be forced to go to prom by Alice and Edward. And he would never get to walk her down the aisle. "Daddy!" Bella cried as she threw her arms around Charlie's lifeless body and cried. "Please wake up daddy! I need you! I love you daddy! I'm so sorry I never acted like I loved you, but I did! I loved you so much daddy! I'm sorry that I made you believe that I didn't want to live here with you! And at first I didn't want to be here, but then it grew on me and I was glad that I moved back. I was glad that I could live with you and get to know the dad I never got the chance to have. I love you so much daddy. What am I suppose to do without you? Who's suppose to walk me down the aisle? To make sure that my date to prom knows that I am to be back no later that 1 am? Who's going to be there to protect me from the monsters in my closet or under my bed? Who's going to fight away all of my fears and nightmares and be there to pick me up when I fall? I love you daddy, and I am so sorry I never got to be your little girl!" Bella cried hugging her father's body to her and she sobbed. As her sobs started to quiet, Bella let Carlisle slowly pull her away from Charlie's body and into a loving hug as he gently rocked her and rubbed her back in a soothing motion.
"I'm so sorry Isabella. I'm so, so sorry." He whispered over and over in her ears as she cried in his chest. "I know that I can never replace Charlie, and no one ever will, but if you let me I can do that for you. I can walk you down the aisle. I can make sure your prom date has you home by 1 am. I'll be there to protect you from the monsters. I'll fight away all of your fears and nightmares and pick you up when you fall." Carlisle whispered as he tightened his grip on Bella as he buried his nose into her hair. He meant everything he told her, though he really wanted to be the one waiting for her at the end of the aisle, he would gladly walk her down it if only to see her happy. All he really wanted for her was to be happy even if that meant she was with his son. He would take up any role that she needed him to, even if that meant she only saw him as her father.
"Carlisle." Bella whispered before allowing herself to fall into a restless sleep. With a soft kiss to the top of her head, Carlisle gently picked Bella up and turned to leave the room and noticed that Edward was no where to be found. With an aggravated sigh at his son's behavior, Carlisle left the room and was greeted with his family, except for Edward.
"Where is Edward?" Carlisle asked. Bella needed his son right now, and that boy was no where to be found.
"He left. The moment you pulled Bella into a hug after letting her feelings out, he left. He didn't say anything, but I saw him decide to leave for awhile, he hasn't made up his mind where he is going yet." Alice said softly as she ran her fingers through Bella's hair. At hearing that his son had decided to abandon Bella the moment she really needed him, a deep and threatening growl escaped his throat. Carlisle tightened his hold on Bella before making his way out of the building, after he put Bella in his bed, he was going to have a few words with his son.

A young woman with long black hair that faded into a light blue was leaning over a table that held what looked to be a holographic display of a wooded and mountainous area. Her shocking and piercing electric blue eyes stared angrily into the holographic display. "Have you found in information on him yet?" She demanded, her musical voice showed her authority and demanded the respect that she had rightly earned.
"No madam, we have not been able to find anything. We have our best scouts out searching." A man said from behind her.
"And what of Zero? Has he been able to find anything out?" The woman demanded.
"We do not know madam, Zero has yet to report in." The man said and the woman spun around to glare at the man who flinched. The woman sighed and rubbed her temples as she closed her eyes.
"Of course he hasn't reported in. Why the hell did I think he would actually follow orders?" The woman asked in a frustrated voice.
"It is so nice to hear you have so much confidence in me, my dear." A deep voice replied from the speakers that were attached to the holographic device. The woman spun back around to glare at the shadowed face that had replaced the display of wooded and mountainous area.
"Report asshole." The woman demanded and the face smirked.
"I have not found anything on him." The voice said, "Though, I have found something interesting. It seems that he is not the only one interested in our girl. It seems that a coven of Vampires and a pack of shape shifters have decided to befriend her."
"Of fucking course. She couldn't have just been like every normal human and lived a normal human life." The woman muttered.
"But, my dear, you and I both know that she is not normal, nor is she human. It would just be a lot simpler if we just awoken her Fay blood, then he would be drawn to her and then I could easily take care of him without having to spend so much time playing this little game of cat and mouse." The voice said with a smirk.
"You know that we cannot, we were ordered to make sure that her Fay blood woke up on its own naturally when she is 23. Our orders are to keep her safe and out of his hands." The woman said.
"There is more." The voice said.
"What is it?" The woman asked.
"It seems we have the beginnings of another 'Maria'." The voice said and the woman sighed.
"Just like last time, this is not our problem. Let the Volturi handle it." The woman said.
"Oh, I do not think we can do that." The voice said with a smirk.
"And why is that Zero?" The woman asked.
"Because this 'Maria' is after our girl." The voice said.
"Kill her." The woman said after a moment of silence.
"With pleasure." The voice said darkly before the face vanished to once again show wooded and mountainous area.

Jane glared at the scene in front of her. Cars were flipped over and a few of them were on fire. Piles of ashes were everywhere, and the scent of darkness and death was everywhere. Her phone rang and she looked at the caller ID to see it read 'Answer the phone'. She growled and answered the phone, knowing exactly who would be on the other side.
"What?" She snapped.
"I guess from that greeting you found my gift to you and your masters." A deep voice said from the other end.
"You had no authority to do this." Jane snapped, "This was the job for the Volturi!"
"Ah, you see, that is where you are wrong, my dear. I have the authority to do this and so much more. I have more authority than your masters do. We just let you believe that your little coven has power when the truth is you have absolutely no power. Carlisle and his coven have more power than your coven, and you can let Aro know that if he so chooses to fight this, he will lose. I will make damn certain he does." The voice said as Jane growled and crushed her phone.
"Sister?" Alec asked.
"There is nothing else for us to do here. Let us return home." Jane hissed out angrily and led everyone away from the scene.
