~third person .~

Charlie staggers weakly to the kitchen phone , stumbling into the counters and kitchen table , clutching at his bleeding stomach ,he reaches out to the phone on the wall ,grabbing it with bloody fingers he dials Alaska's number ,feeling his vision start to cloud and go fuzzy , the room spins and he's seeing spots. suddenly he feels his body go flying through the air ,and Serenity has him by his throat pining him against the wall , smiling darkly .While he thought ' I'm getting too old for this.' " Thinking about calling your little witch friend were you? " Charlie spat at her " Serenity , let me go you fend ! " He growled flicking his wrist making a small stake fly into his left hand quickly he thrust it upwards into her ribcage ,causing her to snarl angrily and drop him backing away hissing like an angry cat . Serenity ripped the stake out of her body snarling as she ran at Charlie with the stake in her hand throwing him into the living room over the couch and through the wooden coffee table and stabbing the stake into his arm at the same time . Charlie Groaned hearing a few of his ribs crack and twist from being pinned under Serenity's weight ,'Not good , this is so not good ! a part of his mind screams , while the rest of it orders him to remain calm this is what he's trained for as his vision swims before his eyes , sitting up slowly he reaches for his gun which had flown from his gun holster when he was thrown through the bookcase , knew he wouldn't be able in get close to her like that again So he stretched his fingers out towards his gun an in feeble attempt to grasp the handle . Serenity was stalking towards him her face dark and hungry ."Very good with the Vervain ring Charlie you're learning ." Serenity hisses , Charlie shrugs immodestly "Yeah, good thing I did too specially after last time I saw you , now say what you came to say then get the hell out of me house ! " he growls . ' I hated that day in 1995 !' he thought as Serenity fake pouted " Now Charlie that's no way to treat your elders ," he snorted .

She growled again and started to " Charlie you-" but froze obviously hearing something he couldn't, In a flash her bleeding wrist is pressed against his open mouth, gagging he reflexively gulps a few mouthfuls of her blood then she's shoving him down the hall to the front door ,motioning to it she mouths "Open it !" Charlie grudgingly opens the door and steps outside a second later the shiny silver Volvo belonging to Edward Cullen rolled smoothly into the driveway and out hopped said own of the car . " Bella ?" he asked staring at her his voice laced with surprise and a hint of suspicion . Charlie coughs slightly as he eyed Serenity . She glowers and slips passed him smiling lightly her voice loving and warmth she sings " Edward! " and runs over to him finally standing with in arms reach of him ,she lets him embrace her.

" I thought you were spending the whole week in Jacksonville with your mother , and flew back tomorrow , yet your home early ." Charlie heard Edward say she replied " I missed you.",Charlie raises his eyebrows when Cullen starts kissing her then after a few minutes clears his throat doing a perfect angry father routine . " Edward, My daughter does need to breath , you know . " Edward pulls back and spins her around tucking her into his side and walked over to Charlie replying with a polite " Sorry , Sir . " Serenity is however glaring at him ,for interrupting her reunion with Edward .

Edward then walked through the door , Serenity strides inside as she passes she twirls his ring around her index finger smirking him, before slipping it into her pocket ,he glares back at her , watching her as she floats down the hallway and into the small kitchen .

Charlie hangs back checking his pockets and gun to make sure he has enough ammo and closes the door then walks down the hallway to the kitchen ,then joins them a few seconds later , eyeing the island counter ,noticing his blood and fingers are no longer on the counter , looking down at his hand he's slightly thankful that vampire blood has the ability to repair heal injures ,like chopped off fingers and slumps down into a chair saying " Edward , Bella did either of you want anything to eat ?" Edward politely declined but said before Serenity could say no as well " Bella , you should eat something , you did just get off a plane flight ." " No , thank you . " she said , but Edward shook his head " Water , then love ." she rolled her eyes " Fine ." and Charlie got up fridge grabbing the chill vervain potion he'd made earlier from the freezer , unscrewing the bottle he also handed her a glass from the cupboard,With Charlie watching her she fills her glass up a third of the way and gulps it down .

Suddenly realizing her mistake afterwards she narrows her eyes at him ,he Shrugs mouthing ' Nothing personal , sorry ,' smiling he sees her glance quickly at Edward who didn't seem to noticed anything was wrong . She jumps out of her chair spitting out " Excuse me , I'm just going to go to the bathroom ,"for a moment she stops fishing around in her pocket , then she pulls out his ring and slams it into his hand glowering as she dashes passed him up the stairs to the bathroom locking the door .

While Serenity's in the bathroom Charlie smirks slipping his ring back on and uses this time to examine Cullen , thanks to the Vervain ring on his finger he's safe to think freely as Experiments as the F G Vs or First Generation Vampires like Serenity calls them . Powers are useless against someone wearing Vervain . He's already figured out Edward can read minds the signs are all there , the way he tilts his head ,or stares at someone for just that little bit to long, the brooding expression on his face which often appears when he and Charlie are in the same room and lastly the fact that he can actually feel Cullen worming around in his head .

He also knows the pixie like one Alice has visions of the future as he looked up all their medical records on one of the older computers at work , he knows her name is actually 'Mary-Alice Brandon ' born in 1900 or 1901 , and in 1920 on her 19th birthday she was put in a local asylum for her visions was the very same day she went missing then the trail goes cold but he knows better .

The same day a doctor in charge of doing rounds that morning also vanished ,Charlie assumes with Alice for what reason he's unsure maybe the vampire thought he could use Alice's visions of the future to his advantage ? Then he changes her obviously and leaves.

As for Edward , Charlie quickly figures out due to Edward's speech patten and mannerisms he was changed by Carlisle in the twentieth century seeing as he looks seventeen Charlie's guessing 1918 which mean he was born around 1901 the same year as Alice , due to the fact he's seventeen fit and able Charlie assumes he never did go to war but was killed by something else , thinking back to the records he pulled up on the family he remembers when Edward Anthony Mason, Jr. the human was alive he lived in Chicago and in the year of 1918 a bound of extremely bad Spanish Influenza hit and it hit hard near wiping out the whole country .

So he figures Carlisle was a doctor during the influenza and changed Edward , the records stated Edward Anthony Mason, Sr. died first ,then his wife Elizabeth Mason, and lastly they're only son Edward Anthony Mason Jr .

Charlie also reasoned Carlisle is obviously the eldest as they all respect him greatly , followed by that young man Jasper Hale possibly? they all admire and respect him , then Edward Mason his speech is the tip off, Mary-Alice Brandon same as Edward, Esme Anne Platt Evenson Cullen the way she acts towards people ,round her family and young children is very 1800s/1900s , Rosalie Hale also her mannerisms sometimes and her snobbish 'better that you 'attitude and also he looked at her medical records he's guessing depression era early 1930s and lastly Emmett Cullen he looked at his records too .

He knows Carlisle's the eldest as there are no records of his family ever living in America so he wides his search and stumbles across a Carlisle Cullen from England born some time in the 1600s making him roughly 300 years old , the respected coven leader and maker of them all . Next is Jasper Whitlock his records were slightly easier to find he was as a human a young nineteen year old confederate solider killed in the civil war-a Major - even suggesting to Charlie he also has some sort of ability as he's noticed Vampire's with an ability will attract a mate who also has an ability . He's from the South Texas to be exact , around this time not only was the civil war going on but also the vampire territory wars . He must have been changed by a vampire leader of one of the armies for his ability ,the fact he was already a soldier he would need no training , he would follow orders and he was young and fit ensuring he would survive the transformation process , making him around about 164 .

Edward and Alice are both 109 , Esme even thought she is physical older than her 'children' vampiricly speaking she is younger than they are at 104. Rosalie and Emmett are both 94.

Charlie smiles gleefully in his head ' Of course ,' he thinks' They're all barely babies compared to Serenity. Oh what I would give to see them face off ' as he daydreams about it the door bell rings knocking him out of his musings , he gets up casting a quick glance at Edward who's wearing his usual 'I'm trying to read your mind ,but aren't having any luck , while excepting you not to notice ' expression . He shrugs and walks up the hallway to the front door opening it slightly he peers out seeing a young man on his door step , he as is customary waits for the young man to ask to come in . Another thing a Guardian can tell if the person on their door step is just a plain Human , another Guardian , Witch , Were-wolf or Vampire is how they ask if they can come into your home .

" Hello , I'm Theo an old friend of your daughter's I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by , see she left something at my house and I wanted in give it back to her ." 'Another , Guardian' he thinks then mutters " Come in , " Charlie let Theo in closing the door after him watching as he bolted up the stairs to the bathroom.

Charlie heard Theo softly tap on the bathroom door fifteen-seconds later , and Serenity fling it open dragging him inside and locking the door after him , there was silence for a few minutes then Charlie heard the click of the bathroom door unlocking . Theo Jogged down the stairs and thanked Charlie with a firm nod and handshake walked out the door shutting it behind him got in his jeep and drove off.

Charlie walked back to the kitchen taking his seat just as Serenity walked down the stairs to the kitchen flopping down as ungracefully as she could manage next to Edward .

" I leave you two alone ." Charlie muttered grinning at her , she scowled back at him as he got up and wandered into the living-room and turned on the T.V . pretending to watch an interesting show about vampire bats ' Oh the irony .' he thought rolling his eyes secretly listening as the two of them talk Edward immediately turned to Serenity asking " Bella who was that ,Theo guy ?" " An old friend ." she answered" Oh , you've never mentioned him before that's all ." He murmured she replied harshly " Why would I have , I haven't seen him for years ."

He could hear the concern rising in Edward's voice as his Bella wasn't usually this snappy " Bella are you sure you're feeling well ." Serenity muttered faking a tired voice " I'm just tired Edward . although I did go to school for half the day I came home early because I felt sick the jet-lag finally getting to me I think . "

He seemed satisfied with her answer " All right , then I better get home Esme will start to get worried , " Kissing her tenderly on the forehead Edward then popped his head into the living room and bids Charlie goodnight, and disappears out the door ,to his car and zooms off .

Charlie scrambles up from his seat and races for his gun snatching at it he stumbles onto the floor a few inches from it quickly grasping the handle and hauled himself up he stood swaying slightly aiming it he shot at Serenity who stood in the kitchen about to throw a knife straight into his chest once in shoulder , twice in her leg and another shot at her gut she growled howling in pain staggering backwards into the kitchen table , she then doubled over falling forwards onto the tiled floor gasping sharp breaths she drags herself into her hands and knees ,then sits up and digs the bullets out with her fingers , Charlie stalked towards slowly her his gun cocked aimed at her heart . kneeing he presses his gun to her chest, and is about to pull the trigger ,when he's all of a sudden smashed on his back , and Serenity's hovering over him the stake from before in her hand , viciously she stabs him with it over and over again, pressing her foot down hard of his ribs, cracking at lease five of them , he yells out in pain she locks eyes with him , her fangs out ,she suddenly swoops down and goes to attack his neck , Causing him to yell again louder ,and push against her , somehow he manages to aim his gun at her stomach ,and he fires one ,two three. Her body jerks and she staggers up off him and flashes away into the living room and keels over onto the carpet beside the coffee table, digging the remaining wooden bullets out . Charlie climbs to his feet slowly and limps over to her , she raises her head locking eyes with him ,her face curled into an expression of slight fear " Charlie , You know I can help you . Don't kill me . I can help you protect Bella, she's in danger !" Charlie raised his eye-brows hissing " The only person she in danger from is you ," then he fired . ' You psychotic Bitch' he thought firing .

Charlie then slipped his gun into his holster , walking over to the T.V and pushing it aside lifting up the loose floorboards underneath it snatching up the black body bag in the hole and replacing the floor boards and T.V he then quickly placed Serenity's body into the bag zipping it up and dragged her body out the back door to his land cruiser he dumped her body in the boot and went to the garage grabbing his spade and chucking that it his boot too he shut the lid, quickly locking his house up he glanced up checking no one was around and slipped into his car and drove off .
