My feet didn't touch the ground. I flew so fast that a vampire's keen eye wouldn't have been able to follow me. I felt Charlie's warm skin smash against my arms as I grabbed him. Within a second we were on the ground near the spot where he was standing, my ears heard the loud crash and bang of the car in the background but my thoughts where more focused on Charlies expression. His brown eyes looked at me with complete fear, it seemed impossible for them to open any wider, but they did. The bottom of his lip quivered as he mouthed something to himself. His face was nearly as pale as mine.
Bella!
I turned around to see Edward jogging towards me, How did he...? Alice. A small part of my mind noted that Carlisle and Esme where in the background getting the unconscious passenger out of the car. As the persons wound gushed blood I saw Noah getting out of the car. His nose sniffed the air and his eyes narrowed. No one seemed to notice as he leant down into a hunting crouch.
NO NOAH!
I left my dad with Edward and jumped from 10 metres away into Noah, knocking him to the ground.
GET THE HELL OFF ME!
A feral snarl ripped up his throat as I tightened my grip on his arms. A small familiar human voice made me lose my attention.
Bells?
My dad was now standing with Edward and started backing away. I recognized what I looked like to him in that second. I was on top of a man holding him down as he thrashed, my teeth where bared and I was growling. Immediately, I calmed myself reaching one hand out to him sympathetically. That was enough time for Noah though, to flip and pin me to the ground. He grabbed my wrist harshly and looked me straight in the eye.
And I thought I could trust you! HA.
Kneeing me in the stomach, Noah threw me into a nearby oak tree, causing me to fall several metres to the ground. When I looked up Edward had Noah up against the car and was in his face.
Do not touch my wife! I will personally slaughter you and-
Edward!
I came to look Edward in the face; his hands grabbed me and pulled me into his chest as Carlisle grabbed Noah. But now was no time for consoling, I looked over his shoulder to see Charlie disappearing into the forest, running full out. It was too easy to zip into the forest and grab his arms to keep him still.
Dad, everything's alright. What you saw is just a small part of everything. But please come back to the house?
Bella?
Yeah?
Are you okay?
He must have been confused, recently seeing his daughter hold down a full grown man with muscles, run at the speed of light, get thrown 10 metres up into a tree, land face first, get kneed in the stomach and still be fine.
Dad, just...come.
I walked behind him afraid he would try and run again. When we walked in the door Edward was sitting on the couch, Noah was nowhere to be seen. Carlisle and Esme must have taken him. Charlie fell onto the recliner and let out a sigh putting his head in his hands.
I've know something has been going on since you came into her life.
Charlie pointed an accusing finger at Edward. Edward was about to talk but I cut him off; I think it was best if I explained things.
This isn't his fault dad! But what I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone about! You need to listen carefully.
I gotta tell you Bells, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. I just saw my daughter wrestle a man then get thrown into a tree.
Edward let out a small laugh; Charlie looked at him as if he was crazy. I elbowed him in the stomach. He was probably seeing the events repeated in Charlies mind and found some quite amusing.
I know Dad, just listen. The Cullen's are...
I was lost for words, this was going to be harder than I expected. The word was on the tip of my tongue I just couldn't articulate it. Edward spoke instead.
Charlie, My family are immortal's. Know to your kind as vampires. We live for an eternity but we can be killed. When Bella moved to forks, she was inquisitive and found out what I was. It has all started from there.
How old are you Edward?
113 years old, I was change when I was 17 by Carlisle. My mother and father had just died of the Spanish influenza, and it was about to consume me to. But Carlisle found me and changed me just in time.
So Carlisle, Esme, everyone. Even you Bells?
Yeah dad, I was changed 1 year ago, after Renesmee was born.
So she is yours biologically?
Yeah, she's your granddaughter dad.
Wait, Renesmee grows? What is she?
Bella got pregnant on our honeymoon Charlie. Renesmee grew very quickly inside her; it took all but 1 month and a few days for her to reach full growth. She had the strength that our kind possesses. She broke Bella's bones and clawed her way out, Bella's heart stopped but I was able to inject my venom, and begin the transformation. Renesmee, she is different. Half mortal and half immortal. Blood runs in her veins, she grows but she has speed, super-hearing, strength and many more immortal traits. She still grows and will reach full growth when she is a teenager, then stop aging.
How long?
We think around 7 or so years.
But Charlie the main thing you have to know is that you cannot tell anyone! There are forces much more powerful than my family in our world.
That's a lot to take in.
Charlies face had gone back to a normal colour although his lips where pursed. He stood up and leaned into me for a hug.
Promise you won't tell anyone dad?
Promise.
I love you.
Love ya to Bells.
He did shake Edwards hand meaningfully but still cringed from the contact. He fell back down into his recliner.
Anything else to tell me then?
I was going to bring up gifts that certain immortals had but Edward shook his head at me.
No that's everything Dad.
So what can you do?
What?
You said you had speed and strength show me what you can do.
Really Dad?
Yes really.
Edward sat down on the couch and laughed.
I think it's best that you show him in the forest Bella, you don't want to break anything.
