Chapter Four

Wow. This chapter took longer than expected. But that is because I wanted to make it considerably longer! MWAHAHA! You'll all be thanking me later! Any who! Back to business! Chapter time!

Renee's Point of View

I had just finished the book. HOW COULD CHARLIE POSSIBLY BE SO CALM?!

Bella is alone with them 1000 miles away!!!! WITH FREAKING VAMPIRES FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!! What was I going to do?!

I was literally going into panic-mode. What was I going to do? My daughter thinks she is in love with a vampire! I say thinks, because who could really love a vampire? He probably tricked her into thinking she is in love some how!

And Carlisle is a doctor! How could he endanger his patients like that?! I'm sorry but I find it slightly disturbing to know my doctor, has to fight the urge to eat me! And another thing….

THAT PERVERTED EXCUSE FOR A …..UM…VAMPIRE? YES! VAMPIRE! IS IN MY DAUGHTER'S BEDROOM EVERY NIGHT!!!! WHAT IS HE THINKING?

And worse! He tricked my daughter into wanting to be one of them! Ugh! I knew I didn't like him! No wonder he was so good-looking! He's not even human! How could he stay so close to my daughter, when he knows how dangerous it is for her?!

But then again…..

He did save her from being raped, and probably killed that night in Port Angeles….

And he saved her from that boy's van…

And manage to not kill her for so long….

He even managed to suck the venom out after she was attacked by that James guy….

I shuddered at the thought. Fall out a window my ass! How could Bella keep something like this from me? But that memory brought up another point….

He sucked the venom out. He didn't let it spread. He didn't want her to be a vampire.

And he seemed really upset when he thought she was dead…..

Maybe he did really love her. No, he can't really love her, because if he loved her, he wouldn't have tricked her into thinking she is in love with him. He would have accepted her rejection.

And, he would leave. If it is what is best for her, he would leave.

But wait a second…………………He did. Last September.

That couldn't be what that was! That was nothing more than him being a jerk! A selfish Vampire who got bored and left! THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD LOVE MY DAUGHTER!

I have to get him to undo what he did to my poor daughter. However he tricked her, it had to be undone! My daughter cannot waster her life away chasing after this dangerous vampire who doesn't even truly love her!

I have to talk to them! And Bella! NOW!

I picked up my receiver and dialed Charlie's phone number, so I could get the number from him. I knew Bella didn't have a cell phone, so I had to call one of those…..I shuddered…..monsters.

He picked up after only two rings.

"If you calling to tell me about that book, I already know! And no! The Cullens have not broken any laws, I can't arrest them!" Charlie's voice sounded harassed, I imagine he has been getting a lot of calls about this book.

"Charlie it's me! What are we going to do?!" I asked urgently.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, Charlie! Our daughter has been tricked into thinking she is in love! How are we going to convince those monsters to leave her alone?!"

"What? Renee, Bella hasn't been tricked into any thing. She really does love him."

"How can you say that?! No one can love a vampire!"

"Well, she does."

"ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU PLAN ON JUST STANDING BY AND WATCHING AS OUR DAUGHTER THROWS HER LIFE AWAY?! WHAT IF SHE IS KILLED, CHARLIE?! DID YOU THINK OF THAT?!"

"Shh! Stop yelling, Renee! No, I did think of that. Listen to me. What are we going to do? Tell them they can't see each other? You know they won't listen, Renee, they are vampires; we can't force them to stay away. Only Bella can do that, and I know she won't. As for the whole killing her thing….well…hear me out on this one…..I think Bella is right."

I was silent for a while, as his words sank in.

"Are you suggesting we let our daughter become a monster so she can spend the rest of eternity with this guy we hardly even know?"

"We know him through this book. He really does love her. And I don't think the Cullens are complete monsters. Yes they are vampires, but they do try not to eat humans don't they?"

"I can't believe what I am hearing! He does not love her Charlie! Why did he leave her? if he loves her so much?!"

"I thought of that, too. But look, Bella is a smart girl. He must have had a good explanation for her to take him back so easily."

I ground my teeth together. Charlie was right about that. He must have had a good reason.

"Well, even if he does love her! I refuse to believe that she loves him! He is a vampire who wants nothing more that to eat her! How could she fall in love with him?!"

"You read the same book I did, Renee. You know how."

"Ugh! I don't believe you! You are actually siding with them! This is our daughter Charlie! I WILL NOT LET HIM HURT HER! GIVE ME THEIR DAMN PHONE NUMBER! SHE HAS TO GET BACK, NOW!"

"I…uh, I don't have it…." He mumbled.

"What?" I demanded; my voice white hot with anger.

"Well, Bella doesn't have a cell phone. And um…I forgot to ask for any of the Cullens before they left." He admitted.

"YOU MEAN OUR DAUGHTER IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH A FAMILY OF VAMPIRES! AND WE HAVE WAY OF GETTING AHOLD OF ANY OF THEM!"

My head was spinning with anger and fear now. How could he be so irresponsible?!

"Renee, the damage is done! We just have to wait until they get back Sunday!"

"AND WHAT IS SHE DOESN'T COME BACK, CHALIE?!!!"

"She will! They haven't hurt her yet! They get back some time tomorrow. Don't worry."

"Shut up Charlie! I have a perfectly good reason to worry! I am getting on the fist plane over there!" I hung up without even waiting for the reply. Where was Phil? I had to explain what was going on, and where I would be.

Later that night

I pulled up in front of Charlie's house in my green rental car. I flew to the door, carrying nothing but my purse. I didn't bring any baggage; I was in too much of a hurry. It was just after 12:30 at night as I knocked on his front door.

He opened it up quickly. "Oh, it's you. I thought it might be more….Well….I've been getting a lot of people on my doorstep, and my phone is ringing off the hook. Not every one is too thrilled with the Cullens being vampires."

"I'd imagine not!" I snapped at him as pushed my way into his house.

The night passed slowly, as did the next day. I was too anxious to sleep. So was Charlie.

I don't know when it happened but we both nodded off sometime around10:00 Sunday evening.

Edward's Point of View

I walked with Bella inside, since both Bella's parents were asleep. It couldn't figure out why Renee would be here. I suppose I would find out the next morning. We got back pretty late; 11: 45 actually. That coupled with the time difference made Bella utterly exhausted. She fell asleep quickly.

The next morning she was reluctant to wake up, but not sleep deprived. I waited down stairs while she got ready. Charlie was already gone to work, and Renee was sleeping soundly on the couch. She wasn't dreaming, but she was restless. Something was upsetting her. I decided not to mention it to Bella. So she wouldn't be upset. Obviously she knew her mother was there, but I didn't bother to enlighten her to the fact that her mother is upset. She would find out soon enough.

She bounded down the stair, miraculously not tripping over them. She was wearing a plain black T-shirt and a pair of jeans. She didn't wear black often, but I liked it when she did. It made her beautiful skin stand out more, a made her eyes seem even more entrancing.

"Ready to leave?" I asked her.

"Yes, but do you think I should wake up my mom? It must be something pretty important to make her come all the way to Forks."

"No, she seems pretty tired. She needs her rest."

She only nodded.

I held the door open for her as she got in my car. I slid into the driver's side. We wouldn't see my family at school today, they didn't feel like going to school today, and Jasper wanted to go hunting.

We got to school quickly; it was raining (as usual) so every one was already inside. I took Bella's hand as she stepped out into the rain.

Ohhhh! I feel so evil ending the chapter here! But it was already a long one! Review and I will update later today!!!! I need reviews! Gracias! Love you all!
