"I'm on my way, Jim." I slammed my phone shut as I always do never waiting for an answer.
"Right," I said it out loud "everyone get downstairs and into the car. Bella can stay behind and watch Ben. Move!"
Edward was the first to take action, quickly kissing Bella on the lips and telling her Ben was in the bedroom and running out the door.
Then it was Alice and Jasper who dropped their book and darted after him.
Emmett and Rosalie followed them. Emmett looked very excited. It made me want to hit him with that eager grin he wore.
Carlisle and Esme were last. Esme spent too long fussing over Bella about Ben. But when they caught sight of my expression, they finally headed out after the others and were in the car waiting outside.
Grabbing my protection from the human eye, I went to leave too.
"Don't answer the door to anyone, or the phone unless it's your mobile." I called to Bella as I rushed down the stairs of the building and out into the sheeting rain. I climbed into the car stealthily and zoomed off.
I nearly hit a small red car as I raced my way there but luckily for the red cars owner, I missed.
It took less time than usual to get there but I fear I was already too late when I reached the agency.
Jim was waiting at the door for me when I got there.
"You brought the Cullen's, good."
"And the Hales." Rosalie smiled.
"Urm... yes... I apologise." Jim began to get nervous and sweat. He corrected himself while his heart beat faster. "And the Hales."
"Where did it happen this time?" I interrupted.
Jim composed himself, snapping back into emergency boss mode. "Forks."
"NO!" Edward shouted as he lunged himself at Jim. He grabbed hold of Jim's shoulders and shook him. "Don't lie to me! You pathetic human! Do you have any idea how very easily I could just kill you? How painfully slow I could make it? How quick and tidy I could make it too?" Edward shook him too violently to answer.
"Edward son, what's the matter? Bella is safe. I'm sorry for our friends we have lost but it's nothing we haven't copped with before." Carlisle soothed.
"Charlie." He spat and released Jim who started rubbing to tops of his spongy arms. Terror was still evident on his mortified features.
Everyone gasped.
"Who?" I asked.
"Bella's father." Edward spat again. So?
Edward's hands were balled into fists and his jaw was tight. He stood as still as a statue.
"Oh..." I said, finally realising. "I take it she won't be too happy about that then. Oh well, Jim, is the chopper here yet? I guess you want us to check it out again."
Edward glared at me but I ignored him.
"Yes, good luck. Call me if you find anything and as soon as you're there as always." He replied.
I went straight to the roof and I knew that the Cullen's... and the Hales were following.
When we got there it was the same as before; everyone was dead. Old dried blood and rotting corpses were everywhere.
Edward went straight to Charlie's house and the others went to scope the city as I informed Jim what the situation was. He wasn't pleased nor was he surprised.
I sat on a rock by the Cullen's old school and watched as an ant crawled over a dead student's nose. Pitty, they were only young and she was quite pretty. She had long dark curls and on her necklace was a 'J'. Jane? Justine? Jessica? Jennifer? Whoever she was, she was dead. Not only because her body lay lifless in the damp earth, but because I was probably one of the last people who were going to see her and I didn't know her name, and no one ever would.
All of a sudden something disturbed the dead silence. There was the fast thrumming of a human heart beat. Then I heard screams; someone begging for death. This meant only one thing. Someone was transforming.
"Aiden!" I heard Edward call from the distance and I knew he was running and carrying a changing human. What the hell was Edward doing biting humans? This was so unlike him; he detested what he was and didn't wish it upon his greatest enemy. "Aiden!"
Edward had approached me by now and in his arms was a middle aged man. He had dark curly hair and was wearing a police suit. I instantly recognised this man to be Charlie; Bella's farther.
Edward had bitten Bella's dad? He would end up killing Bella if what he thought was being able to keep him 'alive' for her. Edward was turning human anyway... did he change his mind? Did this mean he was going back on his bargain?
These thoughts ran through my head quickly and meaninglessly. I couldn't care less about some random human and what the Cullen's wanted to be honest. I just worried little about the deal. I couldn't stop the massacres on my own and I wasn't going to the Volturi after what I did to Aro's sister. It was only lust, not love. Poor girl didn't have to die. Aro didn't mind her being with Marcus and as far as I was concerned, he never found out. He did apparently have problems with her and me.
If I didn't get help I'd be forced to live off of animals. I mentally shuddered.
"Aiden, its Charlie. I found him like this; we need to get him back."
I quickly agreed and everyone joined us back shortly. Jasper looked... off. He looked as if something was bothering him and he was kind of... horrified and worried. Edward sent a questioning glance to Jasper as if hoping Jasper would be wrong about whatever he was thinking.
We got on the chopper and flew off home with Charlie screaming with all of his might the whole way there.
