Charlie POV

I knew that Carlisle and his family were different, but man, this was extraordinary. We were practically flying through the forest. "Hey, Charlie, you look a bit faint, are you feeling alright?" I just gawked at him and then looked down at the speed that his legs were moving and back up at him, he seemed to get the message. "Charlie, you already know that our family is different and I promise I will explain everything to you when we get back, but I need to know, are you feeling alright?"

"I'm feeling a bit cold" ok, that was a bit of an understatement, I was actually surprised that I was able to talk at all, my lungs felt like they were freezing up and every part of my body was shaking. "Don't worry Charlie, we'll be there in a few minutes, and when we get there, you can have a nice long bath!" his words seemed all jumbled up and I only, just, managed to decipher them.

Next thing I know, that terrible feeling that I felt before washed over me, and I fainted.

Bella POV

As I ran upstairs, I heard mumbling. It was probably just Alice telling them about the vision, but as I stopped at the top I heard Edward clear is throat. I turned the hot tap on, in the bathroom. So that Edward thought I wasn't listening and then slowly slunk to the top of the stairs. "Yes it would be good Emmett, but it would also be bad, do we really want to subject him to this, and what about Sue and Bella?" dammit, I had missed what he had said. Sometimes there were drawbacks to the whole vampire thing. I mean, it's cool that you can talk super fast, but sometimes you want to hear what people are saying.

I decided to walk down the stairs instead of run and I knew automatically that something was wrong.

Jasper seemed like he was in pain, I felt sorry for him, having to feel all our emotions at once. Emmett looked sulky, although someone had beaten him at something, Edward was throwing me a beaming smile, and it scared me, I knew he was trying to be reassuring but the smile only hid the pain underneath, whereas Alice and Rosalie didn't even bother to hide their concern, they were mumbling super fast to each other under their breath, even I couldn't pick up half the things that they were saying.

"Edward, what did Alice see?" I know that I asked this question before, but he didn't answer it, and I needed to know, something was obviously, terribly, wrong.

Edward POV

"Edward, what did Alice see?" I couldn't lie to her, but I didn't want to tell her the truth, did she want to subject Charlie to this? Or would she be alright with it? "Bella, you better make sure that the bath isn't over-flowing!" A sudden gust of wind hit my face and Bella was gone and the water stopped running, and In the same second, Bella was once again standing in front of me.

"Wow Bella, that was really fast, about the same as me!"

"Stop avoiding the question Edward, Charlie is MY father and I deserve to know what Alice saw!" I felt bad, why shouldn't I tell her? She's right; she does have the right to know. "Bella, Alice saw something, and I'm not sure how you will react." I paused to read her face

"Go on!" her voice was demanding and I knew that she was absolutely desperate to know, so I told her, "Bella, we think that Charlie is going to die!"

Carlisle's POV

"Don't worry Charlie, we'll be there in a few minutes, and when we get there, you can have a nice long bath!" Charlie didn't answer me, so I quickly turned around to look at him, "Charlie, did you hear what I said?" as soon as I saw his face I knew that he had fainted and that he was going into hypothermic shock and he needed medical assistance immediately. Luckily for both of us, the house was only a few minutes away and I picked up the pace, full on sprinting. Within a minute the house was in sight and I started screaming. I yanked the door open and laid Charlie on the sofa. "Shit! Dad are you ok? Dad please talk to me!" Bella's voice was only just loud enough to distinguish and Alice started talking to me.

"Carlisle, we have a baking hot bath for him upstairs, hurry up!" I grabbed Charlie and ran upstairs with him. I stripped him of his clothes and placed him in the bath. "Edward, Emmett, go upstairs and try to wake him up, every 3 minutes add some more hot water!" Edward and Emmett both flew upstairs on my instruction. I acted no longer like their father, I was a doctor now!

"Bella, I need you too calm down, Rosalie, take her to La Push, and get her with Jake!" I knew that Jake was the only person that could truly calm her down and he had Nessie with him as well.

"Carlisle I need to tell you what I saw!! Alice's screaming voice brought me back from my little fantasy world and I ran over to her.

"I need to look into the future soon, to see if anything's changed." She sucked in a deep breathe and finished her sentence, "I saw you bring Charlie in through the door and I knew that it was only one possible future, well technically two, but we would never let the first happen."

"What is it Alice?"

"Charlie is going to die, one way or the other, firstly, we just let him die of his own accord, or secondly, what I saw. You bite him!"

And as soon as she said that, my mind was made up, within the next hour, Charlie would become a vampire.
