Now then, I loved this chapter... just did, I hope you guys enjoy it!
Bella POV
Going to school I was scared out of my mind, I jumped at every sound and every fast movement, so by the time I pulled into my space at school I was a jittery disaster. I had no idea how I was going to make it through the day. In addition, I still did not know if he was actually here or sent the letters ahead of him, there was no return address.
"Hey Bella!"
"EPPPPP!" I jumped a good ten feet in the air and swiveled quickly around to see Emmett behind me. "You scared me half to death, Emmett!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry," He grinned sheepishly.
"You ok Bella?" Jasper asked.
"I'm fine, no thanks to this big oaf," I glared playfully at Emmett, I loved how being around them made me forget my worries and I could just joke around like any other teenager.
"Hey, I said I was sorry!" he pouted.
"Ok fine, you're forgiven," I told him.
"You look tired Bella," Edward commented, bring me back to my fit full sleep full of nightmares last night.
"Thanks," I replied. "I didn't get much sleep last night."
"I'm sorry Bella," Jasper said, giving Edward a pointed look of which I did not understand. "Hey, they girls aren't here today, but you're still going to sit with us at lunch, right?"
"Course," I gave them a smile, "as long as it's ok with you guys."
"Of course it is," replied Edward.
"Wouldn't have it any other way," exclaimed Emmett.
"You're always welcome," assured Jasper.
I gave a smile laugh before answering them, "Thanks guys, I'll see ya later then!" with that the bell rang and we all had to rush to class.
Emmett's POV
I felt bad about scaring her like that, but how was I supposed to know that just saying hi would startle her. And then thinking about her being scared made me think about her past. What on earth happened, and who should I kill. Nobody touches my family. Moreover, what was that thing I saw, normally I would not give a hoot about it… but with everything going on, I happen to be suspicious.
What is the world coming to when gloomy things enter my mind, ugh! Think happy thoughts, think of Rosie and how much you love her, think of how hot she looks on a bikini. Yep Rosie makes me happy.
I felt my phone vibrate so I quickly opened it hoping it was Rose, no such luck, it was Edward STOP YOUR THOUGHTS NOW! I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING
Hahah, that is right, Edward's just down the hall… now then, what all can I think about to bug Edward? Hmmm…. Well hey Edward, why you invading my mind? Oh and I can't wait for Rose to get home this weekend, it is gonna be fun, oh and Bella smelt really good this morning does she…
He cut off my thoughts with a text, do not even go there!
I was only gunna ask if she has a new shampoo, I quickly texted back.
Whatever he replied.
I smiled and put my phone up.
Jasper POV
I could feel Bella's fear as soon as she pulled into the parking lot, it was incredible the amount of fear she acquired overnight. I knew too that there was no way that she was going to tell us until she was sure she could trust us and was ready. Until then we just had to help her the best we could and take care of her and make sure no harm came to her.
I text Alice to see if she could see anything that had to do with her telling us happen anytime soon.
No, she replied but I can see that something major is going to happen today, be ready for it and keep an eye on Bella; she is going to need support today.
That did not look good. Is she going to be ok?
Physically, emotionally she's going to be a mess, be prepared for that Jazzy, the next few days are going to be torture, I could tell from that simple text, but I would be there for her nonetheless.
Edward POV
Emmett would so get it later, but for now, I turned my attention to my phone and decided to text Esme, do you have anything?
Maybe She replied but it's sunny outside so we can't go out until tonight, but we will check it out as soon as we can! You should ask her about what she did at her last school; she has some major achievements :)-good luck son! Stay safe, pass my message on to your brothers and father and make sure you all watch out for Bella!
Thanks mom I typed my reply and put my phone up. Thinking of ways to bring Bella out of her shell.
Carlisle's POV
"Dr. Cullen, there's some one here that says he needs to see you," Ellen informed me, making me stop my investigation.
"Thank you let him in," I minimized my work and brought up my email.
"Hello Dr. Cullen," Bella's father, Charlie Swan walked in.
"Chief Swan, please call me Carlisle, how may help you?" I asked motioning to the seat across from my desk.
"Charlie, if you will," he sat and fidgeted a bit.
"Well then Charlie, what can I do for you?"
"What do you know about my daughter's past? Have your children told you about her?" Charlie asked suddenly.
"I don't know much, the children told me everything they know. All we know is something major happened at her last school or something to that extent."
"I know your family doesn't keep any secrets, but can you try and keep this to yourself, as it is not the whole story and Bella needs to tell you guys herself."
"Of course Charlie, I'll do my best, and we all want to help her."
"Her mother and step father were murdered in front of her eyes, he then set fire to the house and tried to get away with her. She's been haunted with that memory since then."
"That's horrible, the poor girl."
"Yes, and now I need to tell you some other things. I know he's not human, I know you aren't human; Bella does not know that you are not human, but she knows he isn't. And I come here with a favor to ask."
"Before we go on, I must ask, how do you know? And what do you know?"
"I don't know what you are, but I know you aren't human, you are the same as whatever the murder is though. And I know because I'm the police chief, I have ties with people in high places that told me that you are not normal and nor are they, they want me to make sure we humans don't find out. But my baby was threatened by one of your kind. I need to get in touch with my higher ups of your kind and I need someone to watch out for my Bella."
"Of course Charlie, I'll talk to my boys in a bit and I'll call my girls tonight, they are on a little bit of a girl's week."
"Thank you Carlisle, it means so much to me as he just escaped this morning."
"Charlie, Bella is in safe hands, my family may have just met her but they love her already, as do I. And as for your superiors can we talk about that later because I have a patient scheduled to be her in five minutes."
"Of course, I don't mean to keep you from work; I have work to do to, is it ok if I stop by your house tonight?"
"Yes, yes I'll see you then."
With that, Charlie left and I went to find my patient with much on my mind.
Charlie POV
My baby, my poor baby, now that I've talked to Carlisle I have to go tell Bella.
I pulled up into the school parking lot towards the front and I saw the students walking from one building to the next to get to their next class and saw many curious eyes flint toward my police cruiser, they were probably wondering who was getting arrested. I stepped out of the car into the drizzling rain and walked to the front office.
"Chief Swan!" exclaimed Mrs. Cope, the receptionist.
"I need the Cullen boys and Bella in the office," I told her. "And a place I can talk to them alone."
"Of course let me talk to the principal and get them down here," she gave me a smile.
I nodded my head and leaned up against the wall and Mrs. Cope went about her business.
Jasper's POV
I was sitting in class bored out of my mind, going through a book I had already had to read hundreds of times before. Therefore, I started to draw Alice.
I was so into my drawing that I did not hear Mike Newton enter until the whole class was staring at me.
"Huh?" I asked looking up and seeing all eyes on me.
"Chief Swan is in the office and needs to see you," Mike was getting a kick out of this. The whole class ohhh'd. So I played it cool, though I had no idea what was going on.
"Ok, I'll be there in a second, just let me grab my things," no fear or anything but acknowledgment was in my voice, I made it seem that I knew this was going to happen and I saw Mike's body sag. "See ya'll later."
With that I walked out of the room meeting Emmett on the way.
"What'd you do this time?" I asked him as we made our way to the office.
"The only thing I can think of is I scared Bella this morning," Emmett says puzzled.
Somehow I actually believe him, does not mean I am not going to pen it all on him though.
We entered the front office and found Bella sitting in one of the plastic chairs.
"He told me to tell you two to go on in," She whispered looking down.
So together, we walked into the principal's office.
"I swear I didn't do it," Emmett said as soon as we walked in.
Edward and Chief Swan looked up from their conversation.
"And I swear it was all Emmett," I told them completely serious, hoping to elect a smile from them. No such luck, this was going to be a gloomy conversation, Edward gave me a slight nod.
"You guys aren't in trouble, now close the door and listen," Chief Swan commanded.
Bella POV
I sat biting my nails in the office. What was going on? Why is my dad here? Why isn't he also talking to me and only the boys?
"Bella?" Jasper poked his head out. "Your dad wants you."
I stood up and walked into the office playing with my hair.
Edward instantly stood up and relinquished his chair. I shook my head but went and stood behind it. Edward didn't take it back though.
The three boys stood around the walls, arms crossed, backs against the wall.
"Bella?" I lifted my eyes to Charlie. "He escaped."
Two words and my head started spinning I can't see clearly and suddenly I feel two strong cold arms wrap around me, all I manage is a strangled cry as I remember the only cold arms that I've known, he's come for me, he has me, my friends and father are probably dead or close to it, what can I do? Nothing. As that word envelopes me darkness takes over and I feel, hear, see, smell, nothing. My body shuts down, I am left with my thoughts and I soon leave them in favor of nothingness.
Edward's POV
Two words was all it took, Bella's eyes started to glaze over, she started to waver, and she limped forward, hitting her head on the back of the chair before I got to her. All of us were crowded around her ready to catch her, but being the closes and seeing it coming I got there first. I wrapped my arms around her and strangled scream passed her lips before her breathing and heart speed up rapidly and Chief Swan called the emergency room, her heart slowed down as did her breathing gradually and I had a feeling she was slipping consousness.
"Bella, Bella can you hear me?" I asked in panic. I laid her down on the floor and her heart started skipping beats and paused and her breathing stopped for a minute before the emts entered the room. They loaded her onto a stretcher and took her to the ambulance and we were told that they were taking her to the hospital. Before the doors shut to the ambulance I saw them trying to shock life into her, momentarily I saw her eyes flash open before they fluttered closed and then the door closed and I ran to my car, human speed as to not bring suspicion, and hurried after the ambulance, I didn't even know that my brothers were in the car until Emmett commented that at the speed I was going I would make it before the ambulance, but I didn't slow down.
As soon as I found whom the guy that did this to her was and where he was, I would make him pay.
"We're with you bro," Jasper told me, feeling my determination and anger. "He's going to pay dearly. We will make sure of it."
I'm sure you all have questions... so feel free to ask them!
