Ch10 as guilty as charged

3rd pov

Carlisle made it to the house and knocked on the door but not before he heard a gun shoot. "Charlie can you please open the door" Carlisle was getting worried, for his son and his parental mate.

The door then opened and Carlisle came face to face with Charlie's worried and guilty eyes. "Was that a gun shoot I heard Charlie?"Carlisle said in a concerned yet stern voice.

"Nope I don't know what you are talking about" Charlie said in what he thought was a convening voice.

Carlisle knew that Charlie was lying but he needed to get up to Bella's room and check on Edward and Bella.

Carlisle looked Charlie in the eye. "Charlie I have very good hearing believe me. And I know what I heard but the more you deny it the longer it will take me to check on whoever was shot. I am a doctor as you know."

3rd pov (Carlisle)

Carlisle ran straight past Charlie not caring about his inhuman speed up to Bella's room and burst in the room. When he surveyed the room it was enough to break his un-dead heart, the sight of his son laying there still and non-moving with Bella hovering over him with a look of despair and horror writing all over her face.

Carlisle knew that his son was only playing his part but Bella had no insight to this and believed that he was truly dead, Carlisle had to do something and fast because he was sure that Charlie would be up he any second now.

He got down on his knees next to Edward and whispered in a tone that only Edward could hear "pretend to be very badly hurt on your left side" Edward nodded slightly but enough for Carlisle to hear, then he began to play his part.

"Ugh" Edward groaned, sounding disorientated and in a lot of pain. Carlisle put on a mask that would lead Bella to believe that he was very worried for his sons' life.

"Oh my poor boy" Carlisle said through fake tears "Edward? Can you try and tell me what happened?" he said.

Edward had been lying with his face towards the floor had now turned towards Bella "Bella...protect...Bella" was all he said and then groaned again.

Carlisle nodded and then stiffened and looked towards the door. "Okay Edward I need to get you up, I'm going to carry downstairs and away to I can check on you properly" he said.

Carlisle then stood up and watched Bella carefully before lifting Edward up. Edward groaned and whined "no...Dad...protect... Bella...Charlie...hurt...Bella" he managed to say and then closed his eyes because the pain was getting to him. Carlisle knew that he was going to have to remove that bullet soon from his son's chest but he had to reassure Bella that Edward was going to be okay.
