-Sorry for the long delay, I didn't know what to write, if you want you can give me some ideas leading up to something...I'll explain it at the end. -

Charlie Harvard's P.O.V

It was all silent, no one talked as we walked back to the cars.

I looked at my watch, we were late. I sighed; I would have to organize another hunting party tomorrow. My trainers were dirty, sinking into the mud with every weighted step I took. I scanned the trees warily, there could be more carnivorous animals just waiting to jump at us again. A slight movement caught my eye, I pointed my gun at the trembling overgrowth.

"What is it Charlie?" Ruth called from behind me. I didn't respond.

"Who's there?" I called at the moving bush, I didn't know why I said that. You could be talking to a frog, I thought to myself.

The moving increased and a person came forward. I lowered my gun slowly, squinting.

"Mr. Masen?"

He smiled slightly, looking very uncomfortable.

"Uh, hi Chief Harvard." He shifted, it was then I realized he didn't have any shoes on, he didn't have shoes at that circle place. But...why is he walking in the hard hardly steel-toe-hiking boots-proof forest bare footed?

He must have thick feet.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

He blushed, looking away. Coughing slightly he answered,

"I was..uh...going to the loo" his cheeks reddened noticeably.

My eyes widened in understanding. "Oh! Oh...well, sorry to have disturbed you..."

"Yeah..."

Awkward moment! My mind screamed at me.

"What's on your shirt?" Frankie yelled. All what he did was yell, yell, yell.

Edward touched his bloodied top and his eyes widened.

"I...was...uh...I fell on an elk carcass...few um minutes ago...very scary." He looked at me carefully, as in seeing if I was buying it.

Let me tell you, I wasn't.

"Have you seen Tom?" I eyed his blood stained shirt. Edward shook his head quickly, too quickly.

"No...who is Tom?" he asked, his eyes creasing.

"Tom...part of the hunting party, you seen him?"

"No,"

I sighed, "All right, be careful out there though; a lion's nearby."

"Yeah, I know. I was going back to the Circle anyway."

"Oh OK, c'mon people!" I bellowed as I led my party back to the safety of the cars.

Third Person's P.O.V

Edward watched the group of humans walk past, he breathed out a sigh of relief and stepped back. Suddenly, a sudden blast of cold gripped his arm. Jumping, he spun around to face Carlisle.

"Crap, Carlisle, you scared me" he panted, his immediate father smiled slightly.

"Son, are you alright?" Carlisle let go of his arm, glancing at his bloodied top.

Edward chuckled, "yeah, I'm fine. I was going back to the Circle, but I got a bit bored so I hunted some stuff…" he trailed off.

Carlisle smirked, "I thought Bella taught you how to hunt clean."

"She did, but…what's the fun in that?" he scoffed.

"It looked like you just committed a very dirty murder, from the Chief's view anyway." Carlisle pointed out.

Edward looked horrified, "Was that what he thought?" he touched the blood patches on his top, it was only elk blood. Not human blood.

Of course it wasn't.

"I have to go…bye Carlisle." Edward said almost inaudibly. He turned back and ran off.

A short puff of breath being released made Carlisle look over his shoulder.

"There he goes again, running off like nothing matters." Alice grumbled. "Charlie's going to suspect something if we don't hurry up now, dad."

Renesmee packed away her instruments in the boot of the car. Andy's xylophone took up most of the space, there was only a pocket available for Renesmee to put hers.

She huffed when Bella closed the boot.

"Andy your instrument is so fat, it takes up all the space in the car." she whispered, sitting next to him in their car seats.

Andy gasped, "Don't say that to Zilee!" he whispered back. Zilee was the name of his Xylophone, it was easier than to call it, X y l o p h o n e.

"Your instrument is too small and useless, a bear could eat it and not realize it" Andy shot back. Renesmee glared at him.

"At least mine isn't fat" she used her last argument.

"It isn't fat...Muuum!" Andy cried.

Bella sighed from outside the car.

"Yes baby?" she looked out of the window.

"Is Zilee fat!" He wailed.

"Do you think it is?" she murmured, Andy shook his head, "Then why are you getting upset?"

Andy looked down, swinging his feet. "That's what Nessie said" he muttered.

In the corner, Nessie pretended that she couldn't hear them, playing with her little stuffed toy rabbit.

"So? Do you believe what your sister says?"

"No!"

"Then there's no need to get sad, ok?" Bella soothed him.

"Yes mummy" he sighed in resignation.

Bella smiled softly, leaning back from the window.

"Hey love" a velvety voice vibrated through her ears. Bella grinned at her mate at her side, he pulled her into a kiss.

A sharp tap on the glass window made them break apart. Renesmee glared at them from inside the car, Andy was covering his eyes with his hands.

Edward laughed, getting into the car.

"What happened to you?" Bella asked after a while.

Edward ran his hand through his hair. "I was hunting, and I got a bit dirty, as you can see." He laughed, gesturing to his bloodied shirt.

Bella just frowned, "what about the thing about the lion?"

Edward glanced at her quickly, "what lion?"

"The lion that killed Tom"

Edward's hand on the wheel tightened.

"I don't know" he muttered, staring out at the window.

"Did you find out what happened? Did they catch it?" the questions kept coming. Edward's mind whirled; it was all becoming too much.

"I don't know!" he yelled.

Bella stopped talking, the whole car was quiet.

"I don't know." He said quieter, the car stopping in front of their house. "I just…I don't know okay?" he put his head on the steering wheel.

Andrew looked wide eyed at his mum.

"Mummy, wha-"

"Go inside, the key's under the flower pot" Bella said quietly.

Renesmee and her brother both scrambled out of the car.

When they went through the front door Bella turned back to her mate. She took a deep breath.

"Where are your shoes?" she asked quietly.

"I forgot them" Edward mumbled, his head still on the wheel.

It was quiet again. Edward wondered why she wasn't saying anything. He looked up slowly; Bella was watching him warily, as in half expecting him to snap again.

Edward cursed himself internally.

"Bella, I'm so sorry" he whispered, taking her into his arms, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

"It was my fault, I ask-"

"Nonsense, I should've never shouted at you." He muttered into her hair.

"What's wrong love?" Bella's voice vibrated against his neck. "You're upset and you won't let me help you."

Edward sighed, "It's the lion,"

Bella nodded silently.

"I think it's Amber"

-Oh, that was short, too short. But if i do any lengthy ones it will take a longer time to post. But, what do you think? The main thing happening, as explained in the summary, is that their secrets being exposed to Forks. but that was only one thing in my head. I'm out of ideas now,so please review and give me any ideas. I don't know what happened to Tom myself. I think he may be dead. i dunno...oh well.-

Something to do with Edward's mysteriously bloody shirt? Is it really elk blood? I have no idea. Your choice.

It's your story now, i'm just writing it, editing it.

All reviews are welcomed.
