Bella's pov
"Dad! I saw them." I yelled as I burst in the room.
"What's the matter?" Charlie asked.
"In the woods, they're not bears!"
"What do you mean "in the woods"? Bella what the hell where you doing out in the woods?" Charlie asked, upset that I had gone against his wishes.
After a few seconds Charlie and harry where out the door to start a hunting party. Charlie ordering me to stay inside before he left. I agreed, ushering him out the door, not wanting anything to happen to my father when Victoria came for me.
I walked around the house looking for something to do to keep myself occupied. I settled on doing the laundry and after that was done I went into kitchen and grabbed something to eat before trudging up the stairs and into my room.
I checked my email, not that I was expecting anything from my former best friend. Alice must have gotten a new email address; either that or she just ignored to reply to my numerous emails. I quickly shut the computer off and went to do my homework, even though it was useless considering Victoria would probably kill me tonight. After about an hour of dragging out my English homework, I heard the door downstairs open.
"Bella?" I heard Charlie call out. I sighed, relived it wasn't Victoria comeing to kill me. The relief suddenly disappeared as I realized that Charlie could get hurt or possibly die when she decided to come after me.
I ran down the stairs in a hurry, wanting to make sure nothing had happened to him. "Thank God that your okay, you didn't see any of the wolves did you?" I asked. "Or a tall dark man with dreadlocks wearing a purple suit?" I muttered the last part under my breath as I down on the living room couch next to him. " No, It was getting too dark out to track down the wolves." He said while turning on the TV to a football game. "Oh, well do you think its possible to not hurt them?" I asked, struggling to come up with words as I looked down at the floor embarrassed. Charlie laughed. " You're not turning into a tree hugger on me are you?"
I blushed. "No, it just seems wrong to kill the wolves; that's all." I stated, also the fact that they saved me from getting killed by a bloodthirsty vampire. "I'm gonna go start dinner okay?" I said, not waiting for his response as I left to go into the kitchen.
I started pulling out the ingredients that I would need for dinner as Charlie opened the refrigerator, grabbing a beer. I jumped as I heard the door slamming shut.
"You okay?" Charlie asked, looking at me as if I was half insane. "Yeah, i'm fine." I answered reassuringly while going back to my cooking. "You seem kinda keyed up." He stated. I glanced over at Charlie annoyed. "Yeah, it must have been that near death experience." I said jokingly while turning around to throw away the empty bottle of pasta sauce. Looking over at my father's furious expression, I figured those were not the smartest words to say.
"Speaking of witch, Bella care to tell me what the hell you where thinking going out in woods?" Charlie asked.
I bit my lip thinking of an answer. "Um I was hiking and lost track of the time."I said carefully avoiding direct eye contact, knowing that I was a horrible lier.
"Really?" He asked doubtfully. I looked up to stare at him angrily. "Yes and I don't see why the issue of where I go matters to you. " I stated, grabbing a spoon and stirring the clumps of spaghetti around in the pot."It matters young lady, because I told you that I didn't want you going into the woods for exactly this reason! You could have gotten seriously hurt today!" Charlie yelled, his face turning bright red.
My eyes widened in shock at his words, I never expected him to worry about me, because normally it was the other way around. I was forced into playing the part of the parent for all of my life, so this was really strange for me.
"Dad you don't have to worry yourself about me, I'm 18, legally an adult; I can take care of myself just fine." I told him softly, hoping that charlie wasn't about to go into some overprotective father mode that I often read about in books.
Turns out he was.
"I don't care how old you are Isabella, you're still going to be my daughter, and as long as your living here with me I expect you to follow my rules."
I opened my mouth to object but Charlie held up his hand stopping me.
"And don't even try the I'll- move-out- card Bella, I have very little rules for you to live with but when you break them there will be consequences. Now I'm going to go think of your punishment for a little while, but after dinner I expect you to be in your room waiting for me. Understand?" Charlie asked calmly.
I nodded my head, too shocked to speak. He said good and then left the room, plopping down onto the couch returning to watch his football game. I checked on the food and seeing that it ready I made two plates, and set them on the table. Charlie came over to join me.
Dinner was orchestrated in complete silence. I used that time to try to guess what my punishment was. I figured I wasn't about to be grounded, I didn't have much of a life now that Jacob was ignoring me claiming that he was sick, and my old friends at school where still keeping there distance from me afraid that zombie Bella would come back.
I finished eating and took my plate and Charlie's; putting them in the sink. "Leave them I'll do the dishes tonight." Charlie said giving me a smile as I glared at him before stomping up the stairs and into my room. I put my iPod on and selected a random song. Hearing the classical music and realizing that it was Debussy's claire de lune I ripped out my headphones and threw the iPod at my wall.
"Are you alright?" Charlie asked staring at me is if I was crazy. "Uh I um I'm fine." I stuttered, my face turning a bright red. Charlie sat down on the bed next to me. "Bella, I've given your punishment a lot of thought and I've decided that I'm going to_"
"Ground me, and I know that I deserve it, so feel free to take away my laptop or books or whatever. I'm really sorry for worrying you Dad, and I understand why you're so upset, because I put myself in danger. I promise to never do anything like that again." I recited my speech that I had come up with in my head. I glanced over at Charlie to see his expression he looked amused as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.
"That's a really nice speech Bells, but I'm not going to ground you."
I stared at my dad surprised. "What's my punishment going to be then?" I asked. Charlie said nothing and I suddenly understood what he was about to do. I stood up outraged. "You cannot be serious! I am not a little kid and so you can't spank me!" I screamed.
Remembering when I was 6 years old and I was spending the weekend with Charlie, I had found his gun that he used on the job and was playing with it. When Charlie had found me, he scolded me for about an hour about how dangerous guns was, he then hid it from me and then when I found it, a gun shot went off, damaging his bedroom wall. Charlie was furious when he found out and put me over his knee for a spanking.
"You can't spank me! I am not a child!" I repeated again, mortified with the thought of it. "Isabella you are having a very childish tantrum right now. As for the spanking I think it's the best option. What you did was unacceptable behavior just as what happened with the gun. You put yourself in danger and I won't allow that. Now come here."
Charlie patted his lap. I stood frozen where I was too embarrassed and proud to oblige. " Bella, acting stubborn will not get you out of this." He warned. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath before walking over to Charlie and draping myself over his lap. He quickly took of my jeans, and I prayed that he would me to keep my underwear on; I hadn't been so lucky when I was a kid.
His hand smacked down against my backside and I yelled out in pain as he continued to do it over and over again. My underwear did nothing to shield the pain.
" You could have gotten seriously hurt today Isabella. I told you, not that long ago, that I wanted you to stay away from the woods because of the numerous killings that where happening! But you decided to disobey me; you put your life in danger today and I don't know what I would do if something had happened to you." I started crying, the physical pain was hell, but hearing my father say all those things made me start crying even harder, realizing all the worry and hurt I had caused him.
"I also don't want your fight with Jacob to send you into another depression again. I love you too much to see you hurt like that, and i'll do whatever it takes to make sure that you're safe, even if it means I have to spank you again. I'm only doing this because I love you Bells." He gave me about ten or so more smacks and then ended the spanking wrapping me in a tight hug.
I sobbed into his shirt. Glad that the spanking was over but I needed the physical contact I wanted him to hold me like the child I no longer was and to tell me that everything was going to be okay."I-I'm sorry." I said trying to get a hold on myself and to stop crying.
"Shh, it's alright Bells I forgive you." He replied, stoking my hair. He stayed there comforting me until my sobs died down.
"I'm really sorry again, Dad." I said as he stood up to leave. He smiled at me. "I know you are Bells, try to get some sleep alright? I love you." He kissed me on the forehead before going out the door.
I layed down on the bed trying my best to get comfortable despite the searing pain of my backside. I suddenly felt guilty for all the lies I had said to Charlie over that past years. Even though I had told them to keep him safe from my hectic former life, I still felt guilty. I instantly considered coming clean, but then decided not to, my backside would have to pay for those mistakes.
