Sheriff Swan's daughter had been missing for several days. He was still haunted by that night. He'd awoken to find her gone with no trace of her. Jacob went to search for her and was following the Cullen Gang until something had spooked his horse causing it to buck and him to fall off, when he'd caught up to his horse the Cullen Gang was long gone. Jacob had returned with nothing, Charlie had been pissed.
Why had this gang taken his only daughter, she was a sweet girl who had never harmed no one and was kind to everyone? He couldn't understand it.
A messenger had arrived that morning with a ransom note that was asking for more money that Charlie Swan was willing to give. He decided he would meet this gang head on without the money and demand they return his daughter or they all die.
Jacob tried his best to talk his almost father out of this plan knowing that it would be five to one and the sheriff would lose. Charlie knew this too but he hoped to at least take the leader with him and prayed his daughter would be alright, or at the very least would remain alive.
He meets the gang just outside of town, there were four of them standing before him, Jacob had said there were five so the fifth must have been with his daughter doing god knows what to her. The blonde leader stood in front of another blonde with longer hair, a dark-haired one, and the fourth had an odd shade of copper coloring. Charlie placed his hand on his weapon ready to point it at the leader.
"How nice to see you again, Mr. Swan." The blonde leader said.
"That's sheriff to you bastard." He answered back glaring.
"It wasn't always. You may not remember me, but I remember you. You took everything from me, I saved your daughter and you ruined my life." The leader yelled in anger.
"Doctor Carlisle Cullen?" The pieces begin to fall into place. "You murdered my wife and have been killin' ever since."
"I didn't kill your wife, but I do admit to the others." Carlisle said. "You left me no choice, my options were escape and live or die for a crime I didn't commit. But it doesn't matter now, you're going to pay for your sins."
Charlie pulled out his pistol ready to fire when the outlaw with the long blonde hair fired a pistol that Charlie hadn't seen, forcing him to drop his own. Carlisle fired and Charlie fell not even seeing the shot that had hit his chest. They left him there to bleed out.
That's where Jacob found him, bled out laying in the desert in the Arizona heat. Jacob cursed to himself vowing they'd pay for this. He'd find them, save the woman he loved, and avenge Sheriff Swan, the man who had been like a father to him.
