I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Carlisle sat in his office doing paperwork when the phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Carlisle? It's Conner Jackson."

"Conner, it's good to hear from you how are you?"

"I'm doing well, how are you?"

"I'm hanging in there. We just had a funeral for Bella's real birth mother but we're hanging in there."

"Poor girl, as if she hasn't been through enough."

"You don't know the half of it. Anyway, what's going on? Why did you call?"

"Well, I need you to come back to Forks."

"Why?"

"I need you come and see if you can help me with someone who is in a coma. They've been in a coma since you left and we've tried everything, we can't fix him."

"Who is it?"

"Charles Evanson"

If possible Carlisle turned three shades whiter

"I-I'm sorry. Can you repeat that name."

"Charles Evanson, he was brought in the same day you brought Bella in."

"Conner, I'm grateful you have so much faith in me but what you're asking me to do is a lot."

"We will pay for you to fly."

Carlisle wanted to laugh. It wasn't the money that was the problem.

"It isn't the money Conner, Bella just buried her mother a few days ago, she's still very clingy and shut down. I can't just pack up and leave her. I don't want her to feel like I'm abandoning her. Let me talk it over with the family an I'll call you back."

"OK, but please Carlisle you are the only person left who can save this man."

Carlisle sighed and hung up. He was sure Bella wouldn't really care if he left, but he needed a reason in case he decided not to go. A part of him was screaming at him to go and kill him. He could easily make it look like natural causes but then another part of him was screaming to go and save him, so he could rot in jail, another part of him was screaming to just not go at all.

"What am I going to do?" he sighed.

"Not talking to yourself is always a good place to start." A voice teased.

He looked up and gave a small smile at Esme. "Hello Love, how's Bella?"

"She's better today. Edward is taking her shopping."

"Alice is going with them?"

"Jasper and Alice are hunting."

"Rosalie and Emmet?"

"Out spending the day together. It's just the two of us."

She walked over to him and sat on his lap. "What wrong Carlisle, you look like you've seen a ghost and considering you're a vampire that's not a good thing."

Carlisle chuckled. "I just got a phone call from Conner."

"What did he say to you?"

"Charles is in a coma. He needs me to go back to Forks in order to save his life."

"Are you going to do it?" Esme asked.

"I don't know. Esme, I have never wanted to kill a man so much in my life. I could very easily go to that hospital kill Charles and make it look like it was natural causes and be done with him, but I promised to save lives, not take them. I know if I go I'm going to be tempted to kill him if I don't go and he lives he could come here and then Bella will be in danger I just…Esme I'm so confused. I'm so, so confused."

"Love, I'm so sorry, this is an impossible choice. I wish you didn't have to make. How can I help, tell me what to do?"

"If I go…will you come with me? You'll keep me from killing him."

"When would you leave?"

"As soon as possible."

Esme sighed. "Carlisle I would do anything for you but…Bella's been real clingy lately and I just can't leave her."

Carlisle sighed to. He buried his face into his hands.

"Carlisle, maybe we should talk to Bella, about this. Maybe she can help you decide what to do."

"That last thing she needs right now is to think I want to save her father's life."

"Carlisle, you want to save him so he can rot in jail."

"We know that but is Bella going to understand that?

"I'm sure if we explain it to her she will."

Carlisle just shook her head. "Esme, the problem isn't Bella, it's me."

"What about you?"

"Esme, I want to kill this guy. You don't seem to understand this desire I fell in me to kill him. Bella has suffered so much at his hands and now I can make him pay and I can do it without getting in any trouble what so ever."

"But would you be able to live with yourself knowing a man suffered at your hands."

"Yes…No…I don't know. Esme I…I just don't know."

"Carlisle, I…I think you should go."

He looked up at her shocked. "Why?"

"You've said it yourself multiple times. Every person is different so every case is different. You might get there and realize there is no way to save him. You could just have to pull the plug and say it was the best thing for him. So all I'm saying is go, check out the situation than decide what you want to do."

"How did I ever survive without you?" Carlisle asked.

"Hmm, I don't know that 's a good question. After all we both know what a big baby you are." Esme teased.

"Why you little…." He started to tickle her sides making her giggle and squirm on his lap. She reached and started to tickle him making him laugh and squirm as well.

"Car-Carlisle sto-stop." Esme giggled.

"You stop first." Carlisle laughed.

Esme stopped tickling him and he stopped tickling her.

"Now, stop avoiding and call the kids. They need to know what's going on." Esme said.

Carlisle sighed. "I was avoiding. I was distracting. There is a difference."

Esme chuckled. "All right, well how about this? You get your thoughts together, figure out what you're going to say and I'll phone everyone and tell them to come home."

Carlisle sighed and nodded. Esme kissed him and walked out of the room.

"How do a tell Bella I'm going to save her abusive father's life?"

A little later everyone was sitting in the living on the couches waiting for Carlisle and Esme.

"What's the big news Edward?" Emmet asked.

"I don't know Carlisle is blocking his thoughts from me."

"Yeah and from me too." Alice said.

"Wait, we can stop you from reading our minds?" Bella asked.

"They can, but you can't." Edward teased.

Everyone laughed. "It's real easy Bella, just think about something you know Edward will hate." Emmet said. "I once showed him Rosalie and I making out…he hasn't read my mind since"

Bella giggled. "Yeah, but I don't want to think about you two making out either, or any couple for that matter."

"So show him something else he won't like trust me, life becomes so much more fun when Edward can't read your mind." Alice giggles.

"I don't have to read Bella's mind to know what she's thinking." Edward said. "I know her well enough to just know."

Bella smiled and cuddled into his side.

"Plus, if she doesn't tell me I can always tickle the truth out of her." Edward teased tickling her sides. Bella giggled and squirmed pushing his hands away.

Just then Esme and Carlisle came in. Everyone grew quiet. Esme and Carlisle sat down on the couch across from the others. Carlisle took a deep breath and let it out. Esme squeezed his hand.

"I got a phone call from Conner, you guys remember him right?"

They all nodded.

"Well, he wants me to go back to Forks in order to help him with something."

"What kind of something?" Emmet asked.

"The day before we left a man was brought into the hospital from a car crash. Since that day he'd been in a coma and the doctors don't want to give up on him but there is nothing else they can do to help him so they asked me to go see if there was anything that I could do."

"Are you going to do it?" Alice asked.

"You're the one who can see the future. You tell me." Carlisle teased.

"I would if you would make up your mind." Alice teased back.

Everyone chuckled.

"Guys, it's not that easy. This man I have to save…he isn't…I don't really like him. He's hurt some people in the past."

"So you know this man?" Bella asked.

"I've never met him personally but his family has been hurting my family for a long time now."

"Do you want to save this man?" Bella asked.

She easily put the pieces together and figured out who he was talking about.

"No, in fact I want to kill him. The only problem is…it isn't in my nature to kill."

"You're a vampire and it isn't in your nature to kill?" Emmet laughed.

"I've never actually taken a human life before Emmet. Yes, I've had my fair share of slip ups but I've never willingly taken another human life before."

"Look, Carlisle just wants to be sure that if he left you would be ok with it." Esme said.

"I want to come with you." Bella said.

"Bella, I'm not so sure that's a good idea."

"I'm stronger than the last time I saw him and I need to see him again to fully get over what he did to me."

Carlisle may have had a hard time killing off Charles but she didn't. If she could convince Carlisle to take her she'd be able to end his life once and for all.

"If Bella goes, I go." Edward said.

"If Edward goes, I go." Alice said.

"Well If Alice is going I'm going." Jasper said.

"If Jasper is going I'm coming too." Emmet said.

"Yeah and if you all go….I get to stay here and have the house to myself." Rosalie said lastly.

Everyone laughed.

"Guys, seriously, you aren't coming. Bella and Edward you can come but that's it." Carlisle said.

"I better go pack then." Bella said.

She got up and went upstairs.

"Jasper is she ok?" Carlisle asked.

"She's calm…a little too calm." Jasper answered.

"I need to go pack too." Esme said.

She got up and was gone in a flash.

"Edward what are they thinking?" Carlisle asked.

"Esme is reciting fairy tales and Bella is reciting her ABCs."

Carlisle sighed. "Something is going on with them. Something serious."

"You don't think they…." Edward trailed off not able to finish.

"No, of course not. They could never do such a thing. Esme is coming to support me and Bella is coming to confront her father about the past so she can move on."

"Are you sure confronting doesn't really mean killing?"

"Edward, listen to yourself. Do you really believe Bella is capable of killing someone. Sure, she's gotten stronger and more confident since we first found her but that doesn't mean she can easily kill someone."

"Why else would she be blocking me out?"

"Edward, I know you're worried about Bella seeing her father again but don't be. Bella wouldn't be doing this if she couldn't handle it."

"He has a right to be worried." Alice said. "I don't know why but I keep seeing these things."

"What kind of things?" Carlisle asked.

"Bella, she's surrounded by cops, they're asking her questions but she's emotionless and un responsive. It can't be anything good Carlisle."

"You're vision don't always come true. Look, it's nice to see everyone caring so much for Bella but she feels she needs to do this in order to heal and I'm not going to take that away from her." Carlisle said.

Carlisle got up and went upstairs. Edward sighed. He had this gut feeling that going to Forks was going to be the worst mistake of Bella's life. He also felt like when they got back Bella wasn't going to be the same strong independent women she was now.

Time went by fast and before the Cullen's knew it they were back in Forks airport.

"I forgot how crowded it is here." Bella said.

Edward wrapped his arms around her holding her close to him. "You're safe. I've got you." He kissed her head and she relaxed.

They made their way outside. They grabbed the first cab they could find.

They made it to the hospital in record time and went inside. They went over to Conner.

"Conner…"

"Carlisle you made it…I see you brought the family." Conner said.

"Yeah, Bella didn't want to be away from me and Esme so we allowed her to come and Edward refused to leave her side so he came along." Carlisle explained.

"No problem. Why don't you come with me and I'll show you where he is."

Carlisle nodded and turned to his family. "Stay here. I'll be back soon."

Edward make sure they stay here. Don't let them go anywhere alone. Especially Bella.

Edward gave a small nod and Carlisle walked away.

"When can I see him?" Bella asked.

"Why do you want to?"

"I have to see him to confront him."

"Bella, he might not wake up. He's in a coma remember?"

"I don't care, I still need to confront him. The sooner I do that the sooner I can really move on."

"Maybe when Carlisle is done with him we will be able to see him." Esme said.

"Why do you want to go see him?" Edward asked.

"I have my own reasons Edward. None that concern you."

Edward shook his head. "Esme, whatever you're planning don't do it."

"I'm not planning anything Edward."

Edward sighed. Neither of them were giving honest answers and when he tried to read their mind they blocked him out and that's what worried him.

Carlisle was standing in the room with Charles…they were alone.

"You know, I could easily kill you and I can make it look like you died of natural causes. It would be so simple. You deserve it too. After all you've done to hurt Bella, after everything your father has done to hurt Esme." He held up a needle. "This can help the swelling in your brain, but if I accidentally give you too much it can kill you. Better yet, I unplug all these machines. They are the only reason you're alive. You've been tormenting my family for too long. I'm going to make sure you pay."

With that Carlisle injected the needle into the iv strip and left the room.

Carlisle came back a few minutes later.

"How is he?" Bella asked.

"Not good, I'm not sure if he's going to wake up or not. I gave him something that may reduce the swelling in the brain hopefully that will bring him back…if not…well at least I tried."

"Carlisle how much of that drug did you give him?" Esme asked.

He knew too much of any drug was unhealthy and Carlisle could very easily slip him too much of the drugs and kill him.

"Just enough to do what had to be done." He answered.

"May I got see him now?" Bella asked.

"Bella, are you sure you want to do this?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, awake or not I need to see him."

Carlisle sighed. "All right Bella, if you're sure. Would you like me to come with you?"

"No, this is something I need to do on my own."

"Are you sure Love?" Edward asked.

Bella nodded. "I need to do this on my own but thank you."

"Ok, he in the room down the hall to the left. Room 867"

Bella nodded and walked down the hall.

She found the room and stopped. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Her father was laying on the bed tubes and wire were everywhere. He had a white band-aid wrapped around his head and he was really pale.

"It's nice to see you like this. Now you're the weak powerless defenseless one and I'm the one with the power. You know I did some re-search the other night. I know how to un plug all these machines. I can finally get revenge against you for what you did to mom and I. You may have not killed her but you're the reason we had to run and you're the reason we ended up with Aro in the first place. Now you're going to pay."

Bella walked over to the machines…

Back with the other Esme couldn't wait any longer.

"She's been gone too long. I'm going to check on her."

"I'm sure she's fine Lovely, just give her some time.

"No, I can feel it Carlisle, something is wrong."

Esme didn't wait for a response she just walked down the hall and to the room. She grabbed the door handle and….

Bella was standing by the machines still. Sure she knew what to do but could she actually bring herself to do it was the question. Just then the door opened. Bella panicked and rushed to hide under the bed.

The person walked in and over to Charles. They didn't speak but Bella knew those shoes anywhere.

Why are they doing this? What would cause them to want to do this? How could they actually do this?

The person spent a couples minutes with Charles and then they super speed out of the room as the machines started to beep. Bella's eyes went wide. Charles was dead and she couldn't believe who just killed him.

A/N don't you just love cliff hangers? Haha so who do you guys think killed Charles? I'm very interested to see your thoughts so please leave a review.
