"He's a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But, he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, and powerful. So don't listen. Remember that, do not listen."

Death

"I'm sorry, Bella. I'd stay if I could." Edward sighed as he hung up the phone.

"It's alright, I understand." I shrugged, biting my lip.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise." Pulling me close to his body, he placed a kiss on the top of my head. "He just needs me right now."

"I know. Go to him. I'll be here, I promise." I smiled.

"I'll be back." He whispered, placing a soft kiss on my lips before disappearing out the window.

Now what was I supposed to do? Edward was gone, off to help Carlisle. And, I was stuck home. Alone. Again.

"Isabella..." A voice called, sounding like it was coming from the outside. I walked over to the window, looking out. Searching the backyard, I was unable to see anyone. Huh, that's weird... I thought, closing the window after a chill was sent down my spine. Oh well. Sighing, I picked up my book and flipped back to my spot when I heard it.

"BELLS COME QUICK! HURRY!" Charlie's voice called, a sense of urgency in his voice.

"Dad?" I called, racing down the stairs. Something had to be wrong – he was home from work. And I could just tell from his voice there was something wrong.

"HURRY, BELLS." He called again, from farther away this time.

"Where are you, dad?" Catching myself as I started to trip on the door frame. I looked around, and found him, or rather, his body on the edge of the woods. "DAD!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face as I raced towards him.

"Bells, I don't know what happened..." He said in a low voice as I got closer to him. I could see he was covered in blood as he grasped a hold of his side.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" I asked, trying to find a part of him that didn't seem broken or twisted.

"I don't know, Bella..." He coughed, more blood coming up.

"Dad. Please don't go." I cried, pressing onto his cut.

"I love you, Isabella. Dont forget that." He whispered, grabbing a hold my hand.

"I love you too, Dad."

Wiping the tears away with a bloody hand, I saw the life go out of him. It was almost instant that I knew it. He was gone. I crumbled to the ground beside him, hugging his lifeless body.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Isabella. You should have listened to me." Edward's voice called.

"Edward!" I yelled, happy to see him. Until I turned around, and saw it wasn't him. "You're not Edward." I shook my head.

"No, I'm not. But I will be the last person you see before you die, Isabella Marie Swan." He smirked, moving closer to me.

"You're not real." I shook my head, closing my eyes.

"Don't you know I am? Look what I did to your father." he smiled,motioning towards Charlie's lifeless body.

"How could you have done that?" I whispered, the tears coming again.

"I wanted you. It was the only way I could get you. Don't you feel it, Bella? The pain that this has caused you?" He laughed, his eyes filled with hatred.

I refused to say something, refused to acknowledge the pain he caused me by killing my father.

"Exactly. I can see it in your face – you're like a book. Your emotions read clearly on your face." Running his hand down my face, he laughed as I flinched away. "Don't be afraid." He whispered, kissing my neck. I shivered, pulling away. "Now now now..... we wouldn't want this to happen to your mother, do we?" He laughed again, motioning to Charlie's body.

"Please, no!" I whispered, looking at him.

"Then follow me." he smirked, and walked into the woods.

End.

Author's note: Short, I know. It's just been a while and I wanted to finish this story, so I figured I'd write a little bit and finish it later. I'd do it now, but it's late and I'm tired. Reviews would be great. Thanks.
