Chapter 11: Visiting Charlie
EPOV
We approached Bella's house quicker than I had hoped, so many journeys I had made to this house before, but my knees were shaking just as I thought about this most recent visit. I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel as we waited at a red light. I distracted myself with a rather irritating song on the radio; I did not want to think about the upcoming visit to my farther in law. "Dad" Rennesmee had spoken, interrupting my train of thought. "What?" I questioned, confused. "It's green" Carlisle pointed out, waving a finger at the bright light in front of us. "Oh, right" I muttered as we pulled away from the angry heard of humans behind us whose horns were all complaining about my ignorance. No one spoke for the remainder of the journey; I just listened to the boring thoughts of the people whose cars surrounded me. Their thoughts were all bland. I did not understand why humans were all so plain their thoughts were all predictable. The woman in the car on the left was thinking about food, the person on my right was whittling about their boyfriend, worried that their beloved was having an affair. The person in front had money troubles and the granny behind was wandering how much specsavers would charge her for her new glasses. All this bored me. I turned the next corner and unfortunately we were only yards from Charlie's house. Throughout the journey I had only gone fifty five mph a measly pace for a vampire who found travelling at one hundred mph slow. The chief's cruiser was parked outside and I cursed at the fact my journey had not been wasted. Thankfully Billy Black was nowhere to be seen, so I would not have to put up with his disapproving stares throughout what was already going to be a stressful visit.
I parked in the space where Bella used to park her ancient truck; I was slower than my two passengers to get out of the car. Rennesmee was by the door with Carlisle already so as I got out the car I looked around for prying eyes. There was no one to be seen so I sped quickly round to the door. Carlisle looked at me and without moving his lips asked me if I really thought my previous move was sensible. I shook my head. Rennesmee had already knocked on the door while I had been reading and Charlie was staring happily at her. "Nessie, Edward" he said welcomingly. "Hello" we all smiled. "Come in, come in" Charlie welcomed us. We stepped in to the house; Sue Clearwater was sat at the kitchen table thinking about how nice the jeans she had brought for Charlie looked on him. "Where's Bella?" Charlie asked, though he didn't seem that worried. "Well, actually that's what we came to talk to you about." Carlisle said, stepping forward towards Charlie. Charlie looked confused as he shook Carlisle hand. "You are?" he questioned. I stepped forward now. "This is Carlisle, my farther." I answered "Ah yes of course." Charlie grunted finally realising who the man was. "So where's Bella?" he repeated as he glanced behind Carlisle to see if she was their." Suddenly the door clicked and we all turned around, the women who had previously sat at the kitchen table had dismissed herself from the house. Charlie shrugged; clearly he wasn't bothered that Harry Clearwater's widow had left so abruptly. "Bella's not with us anymore." Carlisle announced calmly. Charlie stuttered back and fell onto the stairs. "She's dead" he whispered. Carlisle rushed forward to help Charlie up. "No she's not dead, she's missing" He corrected the chief as he tried to pull him up off the steps. "We fear she's been kidnapped by…" "Hey stop right there." Charlie interrupted "Need to know bases, I don't want to here about the blood sucking loonies that have kidnapped Bella." He bellowed. Carlisle gulped "Sorry" I apologized "Carlisle doesn't know about the whole need to know arrangement." Charlie sighed. "Oh, well then I'll let him off." Charlie grunted. My cell phone vibrated in my pocket. "Sorry." I apologized again. "I need to take this." I picked up the phone and listened to the mummers of Nessie and Carlisle as I answered the call. "Edward, Edward." Alice shouted frantically down the phone "She's there She's there." I was confused "Alice, what the…" I began, shaking my head slightly "Bella" she interrupted "Bella is in the woods" "Bella's in the woods" I repeated. "Yeah" Alice assured me. "Rosalie can see a black huddled lump in the outskirts of the forest and I had a vision of Bella sitting on a rock in the woods." She shouted excitedly. "Well, go out and see her and we'll come back and meet you outside the house." I shouted becoming just as exited as she was. "Go" I said and I ended the cool. I spun around. "We are going; they found her she's outside the house we are going." I spat out at my family "She's there are you sure?" Carlisle asked. "I'm certain, the rest are going to meet her but I want to get back straight away. I turned around to leave. "Charlie stay here we'll bring her to see you as soon as we are sure it's her. We don't want to put you in any danger." Carlisle told him. Charlie nodded "Information overload" he muttered, probably not realising we could here him. Carlisle and I were outside and getting in the car but Rennesmee didn't show. I sped to the door "Rennesmee common we have got to go." I shouted. It was just a second later that I realised Charlie was giving Rennesmee Pepper spray. Huh like that will do anything, I thought to myself, remembering how Charlie had given Bella pepper spray to defeat James with. Like that would have worked. Rennesmee hugged her grandfather and ran out to the car. We both climbed in, I didn't put my seat belt on. I spun round in a circle and shot of down the drive at 200 mph. I smiled to myself. We were going to find Bella after all.
