Edward held me tightly in his arms as I leaned over my fathers body taking in as much of him as I could, trying to remember the good times, forgetting the bad. Charlie had been a great father to me, I know I had always been the one to look after him but he had his moments and I couldn't help but think how different things would have been if I hadn't met Edward.

I couldn't believe it when that thought crossed my mind. Edward was my life, my everything but Charlie was my father and how was I expected to come to terms with what had happened. He wanted me to be happy but how was this supposed to make me happy. I knew the grief hadn't fully came yet but that was me, things didn't usually tend to sink in straight away.

Then another thought crossed my mind. There had been someone else, someone who knew about this, someone who helped him and when I found them I would make sure they knew about it.

I tried to hold back my cries not wanting to make this situation more painful than it already was for me and of course for everyone else when I smelt it. The smell of his blood still lingered from where it lay dampening the forest floor and I was starting to find it very hard to control myself as the thirst became unbearable. I had never until this moment experienced bare human blood. I noticed Edward look down at me cautiously from where he held me in his arms and I knew he could see the darkness appear in my eyes because he pulled me up from where we sat and away from my fathers body before I knew what was happening.

"Bella love, I wont let you do this." he whispered softly and I noticed that Emmett, Jasper and Alice were all gazing over at me sympathetically.

I struggled against Edwards grasp the thirst completely taking over my body but he held me tighter in his arms and I let out a loud hiss in his direction. He looked back at me in surprise and pain before turning towards Emmett and Jasper.

"Take her back." he ordered "and send Carlisle over here."

They nodded in answer to him before pacing over quickly to where we stood and freeing me from Edwards grip only to force me into there's. I knew now that I had no chance of getting away so I gave up letting them drag me away forcefully from where I stood.

It only seemed like minutes later when we arrived in front of the Cullen's house and Emmett and Jasper pushed me softly through the doorway and onto the couch beside Esme in the middle of the room. The grief was starting to make its appearance now and I tried to block out my families voices as Emmett told them what had happened.

"Edward wants you over there." I heard Emmett say as I tuned in to the remainder of the conversation.

Carlisle rose from his seat gracefully and looked over at where I sat sadly before turning and fleeing out the door. I suddenly became aware of an arm around me and looked up to see Esme gazing across at me sadly, I smiled weakly before curling myself up into a ball and beginning to sob quietly.

It felt like hours had passed, maybe even days but I knew in reality it was only minutes. Long, slow minutes. Edward, Carlisle and Alice had still not returned and I was now left on my own in the living room as everyone else had decided it would best to give me sometime to grieve. I was thankful at first but now I felt alone. I wanted Edward, I wanted Renesmee but most of all I wanted Charlie. I slowly stood up from where I lay curled up and made towards the stairway walking at a human pace. I decided I would do as much as I could as a human would from now on just to be closer to my father. I was stood at the top of the stairs now ignoring the noises that were going on around me as I walked towards the room where Charlie had been brought to earlier this evening. I walked over to the bed where he would have lay and curled myself up again trying to remember everything I could about my father.

I knew hours had passed this time as I had been counting the minutes in my head and I was now faintly aware of Edward lying beside me his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I hadn't even heard him come in, I didn't even know he was back.

"When did you get back?" I mumbled softly.

"A couple of minutes ago love." he whispered back.

I let down my shield letting Edward read my thoughts, not wanting to say the next part out loud.

"Carlisle's taking care of everything." he told me answering my thoughts.

I turned around so that my body was now facing Edward and buried my head in his chest sobbing silently as he moved his hand through my hair comfortingly.

"You will always have me love." he told me "I promise."

Then everything fell silent and we lay in each others arms as the long hours passed.

I could have lay with Edward like that forever if I could but I knew that I would have to get up at some point. I knew Renesmee would need me.

I was just about to stand up from the bed when I felt Edward stiffen from beside me, I looked up into his eyes and noticed how cold they were, how black they looked.

"What's wrong?" I asked him anxiously as he stood up from where he lay.

"Stay here." he answered before disappearing out of the bedroom door and down the stairs.

I stood up a couple of minutes later and walked over to the door and into the corridor listening as I walked. I could here the intense conversation going on from downstairs and I immediately knew who it was.

Jacob Black.

How could he dare show his face here after what he had done to my daughter.

I walked silently over to the top of the stairs and the smell hit me as I walked down and into the living room, that same smell that had lingered in my bedroom, that same smell we had followed through the forest, that same smell that had surrounded my fathers body.

"IT WAS YOU!" I screamed lunging towards him only to be forced into the grip of Emmett who had been standing close beside me. Everyone looked at me in confusion apart from Edward who knew to well what I was talking about.

"You killed him!" I screamed struggling against Emmett grasp.

"No Bells c'mon its not what you think." he mumbled not daring to look me in the eyes.

"I think you should go." Edward spat.

Jacob looked up at me and I could see the pain and sadness that lingered in his eyes before he turned and walked quickly towards the front door.

"No!" I shouted suddenly and everyone in the room turned around to face me in shock.

"I need to know." I whispered.

Jacob turned back around to face me and taking a few steps forward stood just a couple of inches before me, he knew it was dangerous for him but he didn't seem to care.

"What do you want to know?" he asked looking up at me sadly.

"Why you did it." I spat back.

"I did it for you Bells." he replied casually.

I felt Emmett's grip on me tighten as this comment slipped through Jacobs lips.

"You killed my father for me!" I yelled pulling against the strong force I was being held in.

"I didn't kill him!" he shouted back as his eyes began to fill up with tears in front of me and for one small moment I felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Jacob Black but then it was gone just about as soon as it had arrived.

"He asked for my help." he continued "He told me that if I wouldn't do it for you then to do it for Renesmee."

"Are you trying to tell me you killed my father for the sake of my daughter?!" I shouted the anger rising up inside me.

"No its not like that." he said quickly "He told me you were going to hand yourself over to them , he told me it would hurt her. I already hurt her enough Bells." he sobbed.

Edward was by my side now holding on to my hand whispering in my ear trying to calm me as the anger continued to rise inside me. I knew he wanted to kill Jacob Black, I could see it in his cold dark eyes but I knew he never would being afraid that it would hurt me so I knew that it was my job.

I turned around to face Edward smirking as I gazed up into his eyes and before I could take one last look at the panic that had now spread across his face I pulled with all the strength I had against Emmett's grip and lunged forward knocking Jacob to the ground and he yelped in pain and horror as I jumped on top of him letting my hand rip into his warm russet skin.
