In the next chapter Bella is going to meet the Cullens. Also, I might not be updating soon because i turned my football playing brother's room into a fluffy, pink, hearts and stuffed animals everywhere, princess room and i don't know how my parents will react so if i don't update for a while you will know why.

A/N: I don't own anything

Hesitantly I walked up to the front door and knocked. My fist left a little dent in the door, my new strength is something that I will have to get used to. I could hear someone getting up from a sofa and walking towards the door and me, their scent was stronger than the two men's had been, but it wasn't going to be a problem for me. At least I know that I won't kill him. Relief washed through me but was soon replaced by anxiousness when the door opened to reveal Charlie. Shock crossed his face upon seeing me. Soon he snapped out of it and his face showed happiness to see that I was here.

"Bells, where have you been? We wee all so worried about you, and then the accident happened…" he trailed off thinking of the death of my mother.

"Hi Dad, can I come in? I will explain everything, though it is a little complicated." How would he react if I told him what really happen? Would he accept it or would he chase me out of town holding a wooden stake and a clove of garlic? A smile spread across my face at the thought.

Once we were both settled in the living room, me in the chair and him on the couch I decided to start telling him my cover story.

"It's so nice to see you again Dad. Well, I guess I should start at the beginning. Mom and Phil were married and they were really happy with each other, but I could tell that having to take care of me was starting to put a strain on their relationship. Mom would never say this, but I knew it was true. So one day I just decided to go away. I don't know if it was to make them happy or to just find myself, but at the time it seemed like the right thing to do. Eventually I lost track of time and before I knew it two months had gone by. I ran into some old neighbors who lived by Mom and they told me what happened. That's when I decided that it would be best if I came home. So here I am, I was hoping that you would let me live here if it isn't too much trouble, I could even get a job to pay for things." I hastily put in the last thought thinking of the clothes that I would have to buy because I didn't have any with me.

"Bells, I would love it if you came to live with me, and you don't need to get a job, I have enough money to pay for things. When you went away your mother, Phil, and I were very upset and worried, you only left a note saying that you had gone away to make things right and that we wouldn't look for you if we loved you." When he said this I was surprised, I hadn't left a note. It must have been that evil woman who turned me. Well, at least now there won't be police after me.

"Dad, could we not talk about me disappearing with anyone. I don't like to be reminded about the problems that it caused." I made my voice sound as if I were about to cry. Then he did something that was very unlike himself, he hugged me. Normally both he and I weren't very open with our feelings. His scent was about to over power me, I could feel the venom pooling in my mouth ready to be used. Eventually he let go and he was lucky I had so much self control or else there would be no more Charlie.

"Bells, I won't talk about it anymore. I haven't told anyone about what happened so it won't be a problem. You're so cold, you should go to bed and get some rest, we don't want you to get sick. I'm going to call the school tonight and see about enrolling you, the day after tomorrow you might be able to go to school if they work out the paperwork." He said.

"Ok, I'm going to go take a nap." I said as I headed upstairs. My bedroom was the same as it had been the last time I was here (I shouldn't have to go into detail, you should know what it looks like.) my closet was filled with clothes that were way to small for me, the dresser was the same, I wasn't to happy that I had to share a bathroom with Charlie, but it was better than how I had been living. Even though I couldn't sleep, I lay down in the bed and closed my eyes. A while after doing this Charlie came to check up on me. It was nice to know that he cared about me even though I never really spent a long time with him.

The night was boring, due to the fact that I couldn't sleep. That morning I waited until I heard the front door close until going downstairs.

Bells,

Here is the credit card that you should use to get clothes, a car and whatever else you need. I know that you don't like people using money on you, but please get what you need; I want you to be happy here.

Dad

The note stuck to the fridge said. It was true that I had an issue with people spending money on me, and I would feel guilty if I spent too much of Charlie's money. However, there were some things that I would need. Grabbing the credit card from the table I headed outside to look for a bus stop, I found one that was fairly close to the house that went to Seattle. The bus ride was awful; there were so many people there. Their blood wasn't what made it bad, it was that some of them were really smelly, and with me enhanced senses it would have made me throw up if I could.

Thankfully it was over soon. When I stepped out I immediately noticed all of the expensive shops. There was no way that I would waste Charlie's money on overly priced clothes. Eventually I found some stores that had reasonably priced clothes; I mostly got plain t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans. For my pajamas I got flannel pants and tank tops. After I was done shopping it was 11am so I decided that rather than endure the bus I would run home, it wasn't raining right now, but it would very soon. As I sped home I noticed how much green was around, it was covering everything. I noticed an old red truck sitting in the driveway, it looked very sturdy and safe. There was a note inside so I opened the door and looked it over.

Bells,

I had my friend Billy Black's son Jacob brings this over. It's your new car, I thought that you wouldn't like me taking you to school in the cruiser so I got you this as a little welcome home present.

Dad

Again I was touched that he would think to get me a car, and I was glad that I wouldn't have to ride in the cruiser. The burning in my throat was back so I threw on some jeans and a red t-shirt and went out to hunt. It had started raining so not many people would be out on trails. After running for a while I found a mountain lion, it put up a fight, but eventually I got it. This was now my favorite "food". The bear had been ok, but this was much better. It was later than I thought when I got back home so I decided to make Charlie dinner. Tonight I was making spaghetti, Right as I was putting the dish on the table Charlie came through the door looking thoroughly tired.

"Hey Dad, I made dinner." I said as he hung up his police belt.

"Smells good Bells, aren't you going to have any?" his question caught me off guard, I hadn't thought about if I needed to eat human food or not. I mean, I had been living off blood and nothing more for so long that it never crossed my mind to try human food.

"Ok, I'm not very hungry, but I'll have a little." I said serving myself a very small portion. Sitting down to the table I twirled some around my fork and put in my mouth. It tasted horrible, worse than dirt! I had to force myself to swallow it just to keep up appearances, but it was very hard. I excused myself from the table, after thanking Charlie for the truck, and said that I needed to go to bed.

"Bells, you start school tomorrow so rest up." Shouted Charlie from downstairs. He went to sleep and was snoring soon after. There was a sick feeling in my stomach, and I knew I was going to throw up. I opened the window sprinting into the trees where I commenced with throwing up the little pasta that I had swallowed. It was disgusting; everything was covered in my venom. After burying it I went back to my room quietly shutting the window. Tonight was not as bad as the last one because I went on the internet.

In the morning I "woke up" and went downstairs to watch T.V. Today was going to be interesting, what with school and everything.

Please Read and Review.

Love ya,
