A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
After Graduation everyone had a party at the Cullen's everything was going good and everyone was having a good time. Suddenly Alice saw something in her mind and gasped. She dropped the cup she was holding and whispered "Oh no Charlie….." She quickly rushed over to the others.
"We need to talk in private."
They all went into a bedroom upstairs away from everyone else.
"Alice what did you see?" Carlisle asked.
"Charlie only he…he wasn't himself."
"He was a vampire." Edward asked.
Alice nodded.
"What else is there?" Jasper asked.
"He's…He's…."
"Alice what's wrong?" Emmet asked.
"Easy Emmet it has to be bad if it's making her speechless." Jasper said.
He rubbed his girlfriend's back and sent a wave of calm over her. "Thanks Jasper." She whispered.
"Charlie is a part of the army and they're coming here instead. He wants to kill Bella."
"Who wants to kill me?"
Everyone turned and saw Bella standing there. They all looked at each other not sure of how to answer.
"Ok now I know something is going on. Someone tell me right now what's going on!" Bella demanded.
"Victoria." Emmet said suddenly.
"What about her?"
"She is the one trying to kill you."
"I knew that. But there has been no sign of her so…or is that it? Victoria is coming?"
"It isn't Victoria Bella." Edward said.
"Then who?"
Again everyone was quiet.
"Ok now I'm starting to worry who was it. Is it my father?" When no one said anything Bella got the hint. She swallowed the lump forming in her throat and croaked out "Is he…is he dead?"
"Not yet." Emmet muttered to himself.
Bella heard him and gasped.
"YET? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN SOEMONE TELL ME RIGHT NOW!" she yelled.
Edward went over to her and wrapped his arms around her but she pulled away. 'NO! TELL ME! OR…TELL ME OR I'LL GO DOWN STAIRS AND TELL EVERYONE YOUR SECRET!"
Ok so it was an empty threat even if she was serious she wouldn't make it to the staircase without being caught. Her voice started to shake.
"I won't…I won't tell anyone just…just someone please…please tell me…please."
Jasper tried to soothe her but it had no effect. Bella looked at Edward her eyes were full of tears.
Jasper what is she feeling?
Scared mostly. She is very worried about her dad.
"Bella, Love, Come here." Edward said.
Bella went over to him and allowed him to pull her into him. "Bella look at me." Bella looked into his eyes.
"What I have to tell you in not easy but you need to know the truth."
"Ok…."
"Bella your father is…well he's alive but he's a vampire."
"Ok but…Car-Carlisle can help him right?"
"In most cases yes but this time is different. You know the vampire army?"
"No Edward…"
"He's a part of it."
"Edward please don't say it."
"He's coming here to forks and he going to have to fight against us."
"Bu-bu-but He…he…no Edward He…he can't he…. Edward"
"Shhh Bella shhhhh it's all right shhhh." Edward rubbed her back.
"You….you can't…can't fight him…."
"I'll help your father Bella. Everyone else just focus on the others. Leave Charlie to me. I'll get him to a safe spot and then when this is all over I take him to Alaska and train him to be a vampire. It will be all right I promise." Carlisle said.
"He'll kill you. He hates you guys for leaving he won't listen…"
Bella burst into tears crying in Edward's chest clinging to him as tight as she could. She knew if he was human her grip would be painful right now because it was so tight but being a vampire she knew he felt no pain. He just rubbed her back and did the best he could to soothe her. He had no idea how this battle would turn out. He also knew there wasn't enough of them to win the war. They were going to need help. He growled as he read Carlisle's mind about asking the wolves.
It's out only choice Edward. I don't like it either but to keep ourselves safe and Charlie we need the wolves too help us.
Edward looked down at Bella who had fallen asleep in his chest. He smiled and kissed her head.
"Tomorrow we can talk to Bella about talking to Jake about fighting with us. She is allowed on their lands. For now take her into her room and let her rest. I'll make sure everyone gets home safely." Carlisle said.
Edward lifted Bella bridal style and walked out. She cuddled her head onto his shoulder and sighed contently. He walked into Bella's room and laid her on the bed. She whimpered when she felt the loss of contact.
"Edward stay." She whimpered.
"Where else am I going to go?" he asked.
He crawled in next to her and pulled her into him. She fell back to sleep on his chest as he rubbed her back.
It was around midnight when Bella started to squirm. Edward looked down at her and she whimpered.
"Dad, dad no!"
"Shhhh Bella. It's all right Love. "
"No stop! Get off him!" Bella screamed.
Edward started to shake her. "Bella wake up! You're dreaming!"
"NO! NO!"
"Bella wake up!"
"Edward? EDWARD NO! CARLISLE NO! NO ALICE, ESME NO! STOP IT! JASPER EMMET! ROSALINE! LEAVE THEM ALONE PLEASE STOP IT! NO!"
All the Cullen rushed into Bella's room and tried waking her.
"Alice what is she dreaming about?" Edward asked.
"I don't know."
"NO GET AWAY FROM ME! LEAVE ME ALONE PLEASE! EDWARD! EDWARD PLEASE!"
"Carlisle what can we do?" Edward asked.
"Unless we sedate her there is nothing we can do."
"Ok…"
"If we sedate her I'm not sure when she will wake up again. I've never had to sedate a sleeping person before."
Bella cried out in pain and started trying to gasp air as her hands made her way to her head.
"Carlisle we have to do something." Edward said.
"Jasper can you soothe her?" Carlisle asked.
"I've been trying it's not working."
"Then we only have two choices. We can either all scream making the house shake or we just wait it out."
Bella let out a blood curling scream.
"Carlisle!" Edward growled.
"All right everyone on the count of three one…two…three…"
"BELLA WAKE UP!" They all yelled.
The house shook and Bella was startled awake. She quickly looked around panting for air. A cold hand touched her back making her jump. She grabbed the hand and looked at who it belonged to…Edward. She started calming down and reached up wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Are you all right Bella?" Carlisle asked.
She nodded. She didn't trust herself to speak.
"It's all right Love. You just had a bad dream. You're safe it's ok."
Bella looked around she looked at each member of the Cullen family up and down before looking at Edward. She moved from his arms and moved the blankets off them she looked at Edward's legs and sighed. Everything was still attached.
"That wasn't a bad dream…it was a nightmare." She whispered.
"You were screaming for all of us." Alice said.
"You were… you were all….."
"It's all right Bella you don't have to tell us if you don't want to." Edward said rubbing her back.
"As long as you're all right now Bella." Carlisle said.
"I'm fine. It was just a nightmare. I'm fine it was just a nightmare." She repeated more to herself than the others.
"All right try and go back to sleep. You need your rest."
The Cullen's left the room Bella looked at Edward.
"This is normally where I'd say sorry for waking everyone up but you guys don't sleep." She tried to joke.
"Bella we are alone now. Tell me what your nightmare was about."
"We will never really be alone. You're family has sonic hearing they can hear everything we say."
"Ok you're right….so write it down."
Edward got off the bed and grabbed a pad and pen.
"Write it down so only I can read it."
He handed it to her and she took it. She looked at it for a few seconds before she started to write.
"What if Alice has a vision about you read this?"
"I doubt she will Bella just go on write."
Bella continued to write until she was finally finished. She was shaking and breathing hard again. Edward pulled her into him and read over what she wrote:
I was back in the ballet studio with James only I was watching from far away. My father was the one James was bullying. I was screaming at James hoping he'd let my dad go but he didn't. So I tried calling for you but you never came. I looked outside and I saw a bunch of newborn vampires…..they were ripping you apart…your head was in one spot while your arms and legs were in another. Everyone was getting ripped apart. Carlisle Esme Alice…everyone. So I grabbed a piece of glass and cut myself hoping to draw their attention but all it did was bring in Victoria. She bit me and she left I was in so much pain I couldn't even think straight. I was screaming and screaming for you but you never showed up. We were all dead.
Edward hugged her closer. "It was just a nightmare Bella. James is gone he can't hurt you anymore and we will kill Victoria too. Your father is going to be fine. You heard Carlisle he will make sure of it."
"What about you? What about your family?"
"We won't be alone."
"What do you mean?"
"Bella have you spoke to Jacob since the kiss?"
"No why?"
"Because we need his help and you are the only one who can ask him for help."
"I…You hate Jacob."
"If it helps keep you and my family safe then I'm willing to work with him. As long as he keeps his hands off you."
"Edward I…I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I haven't spoken to Jake in months I can't just all of a sudden go back to his house and say we need help."
Edward sighed. "You're scared of him." He whispered.
"What? No I'm not scared of him I just don't think he'll be happy to see me and Alice can't see passed him so….."
"So if he lashes out again we won't be able to see it?"
"You said you can't read my mind yet you always seem to know what I'm thinking."
"That's because I know your heart."
"I'm not scared of Jacob, Edward. I'd feel very uncomfortable being alone with him again but I'm not scared of him."
"What if I went with you?"
"You can't."
"We can meet in the Forrest right where we met last time. I want you to be comfortable Bella. If that's what is takes to do that I'll do it."
"But he might not come if he knows you're there. He'll be scared you're going to kill him."
Edward couldn't help but laugh. "He's scared of me?"
"Edward!" Bella whined.
"Sorry. So then what do you suggest?"
"I don't know."
"What about school?"
"What?"
"What if we meet at the school parking lot?"
"School is over no one will be there."
"Yeah but if one of us decides to attack we ruin school property which could get us in a lot of trouble plus we'd be out in the open where anyone could walk by or see us from afar."
"Yeah I guess that would work but how do we get him there?"
"You'll have to call him."
"What if he doesn't answer?"
"Tell him you have news concerning your father and it can't be said over the phone and I won't let you go over to their side to talk so we have to meet somewhere is public so no one has to worry about being attacked."
"Ok"
Bella grabbed her phone and called Jake. She knew he'd be up. He answered with a soft Hello almost as if he was waiting for her to yell but instead to let out a whimper it was the only way he'd agree.
"Jake we found my dad he's…he's a vampire."
"Figures. Well is Edward going to get him for you?"
"No Jake he's…he's being forced to fight in an army of other vampires again the Cullen's."
"Your father is officially my hero." Jake laughed.
"No! Jake it's to protect me! All these vampires want me so the Cullen's are going to fight to protect me but there is too many of them. The Cullen's are outnumbered. I know you hate them but for my sake please will you talk to the others wolves and see if they will agree to some kind of truce or something so you guys can fight together instead of against each other. Please Jake if not for me then at least for my father."
Jacob sighed and thought about it. "Ok fine just name the time and place you want the wolves to meet and we will be there."
"Tell him in the woods tomorrow at three right where the line is drawn." Edward said.
"I heard him. We'll be there."
Jake hung up and Bella sighed. "I know you wanted to meet and discuss it but I just couldn't wait."
"The sooner the better. We need all the help we can get. Now it's time for the human girl to get some sleep."
"You when you finally change me that is one thing I won't miss."
"What sleeping?"
"No being called 'the human girl."
Edward laughed. She pouted at him. This was not funny she was serious. He annoyed her to death when he called her the human girl. She squealed as she felt his fingers running up and down her sides.
"What was our deal about you pouting?" Edward asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She giggled squirming in his arms.
He stopped and kissed her head. "Get some sleep Love we have a busy day of training tomorrow."
"I should be saying that to you."
"Yeah but I don't sleep."
"I'm really not tired….." she trailed off and yawned and suddenly felt really tired. "Stupid Jasper." She muttered.
"You can't trust vampires." Edward laughed. "Sleep Bella I'll be right here if you have any more nightmares."
Bella closed her eyes cuddling into Edward and letting the darkness take over. Her dreams were filled with horrible flashes of her father and the Cullen's. She was scared to death that everyone she loved would die in this battle and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
