14. The Plan

Edward, Alice, and I decided to go back to the house and discuss things over with Carlisle. When we got there, Edward told him about what he told me. Apparently, Carlisle didn't even know this, yet. As Edward told him, I saw his eyes fixed on me. He was probably thinking, "What did we bring into our family?" After Edward had finished telling him what he told me, Carlisle looked at his son.

"So, have you come up with a plan to protect Bella?"

"Not yet. We thought we'd let you know this before we came up with anything. And, to be honest, we're, actually, kinda stuck," Edward said. "We don't really know how we should go about this. Like how far we should go as to protect her from her family. Whether to kill her family, or just scare them off or what."

"Well, just for safety measures, I'd kill them, but that's just me. I want what's best for Bella and her well being and safety. She's your wife, Edward. It's up to you to decide what to do." Carlisle looked at me.

"Well, actually, it's up to Bella. It's her family. She should decide what we do to them." He looked at me, too. "So, what do you think, Bella? Should we kill them or just scare them off?"

I looked around at everyone. I looked back at Edward and responded, "Well, I love my family. And I wouldn't want to kill my family. But, I'm a vampire. My family is vampires. Not werewolves."

"But, you're only half vampire. You're half werewolf, too, Bella. You do remember that, right?" Edward asked.

"Of course I do. But, I don't consider myself werewolf. I consider myself vampire. So, that being said, I say we kill them." I looked at Carlisle. "I'm sorry, Carlisle."

"For what? You haven't done anything wrong."

"Yes I have. I've put your family through so many problems over the past year. And I'm terribly sorry."

Carlisle walked over to me and placed his hand on my cheek. "You have nothing to be sorry for, my child. You haven't caused us any problems, whatsoever. Don't you ever think that. You haven't caused us anymore problems than other people have. And other people don't know we're vampires. So, you see, just because you know that we're vampires, you were human, and Edward turned you into a vampire and married you, you haven't caused us any more problems than we already had before."

Edward walked over to me. "He's right, Bella." He wrapped me in his arms and kissed me. "There's nothing that I'd change about the past year." He looked at me. "You've been the shining star in the night, for me. I'd be lost if it wasn't for you. And I never want to lose you." He smiled at me. I leaned up and kissed him.

After that, the four of us planned out what we were going to do. We finalized the plan less then an hour later.

"Alright. So, we have the plan ready, right? No more adjustments or adds or anything like that, right?" Edward asked. No one spoke up. "Well, I guess that means the plan is done and ready to put into action. The sooner the better?" He asked, looking at Carlisle.

"Yes. They already know about Bella and us. So, it's better to deal with them as soon as possible. Can't give them too much time to gather their brothers or tell other people." He walked out of his study and went to tell everyone else. Alice left to go find Jasper and tell him. It left Edward and me, alone, in Carlisle's study. I walked over to the window and gazed out at the beautiful moon. Edward came over, behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed the top of my head and laid his chin on my shoulder.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bella? We can do it without you, if you want."

"No, I'd rather do it with you. I mean, they were my family. I want to help you bring them down." I turned and kissed him. "Well, we better get ready. Carlisle said the sooner the better. If they know, I've been a vampire for a few good days now, which gives them time to do whatever they like. I think we should act now."

"Right now? This instant? Are you sure, Bella?"

"Of course, Edward. We need to take care of this. I also think we should get rid of Jacob and his family, too."

"Are you serious? I thought you were still friends with him?"

"Well, if he told my parents, he betrayed me and my trust. So, I say we get rid of him."

"Alright. I'll go tell Carlisle. I'll be right back." Edward left Bella to go tell Carlisle. He returned minutes later. "Alright, Bella. I told him. We're on. We'll be after them at the crack of dawn."

Time flew by quickly. Dawn came almost too soon. But, we still had time to plan out how we were going about killing everyone. Once dawn came, we were ready for action. We all left and headed to Charlie's house, first. We waited outside Charlie's house until his alarm went off.

"Are you sure we'll have enough time if we wait?" Rosalie asked.

"Of course. He has to take a shower and eat breakfast before he leaves. That'll give us at least half an hour," Bella responded. Once Charlie's alarm went off, we went into action. I walked in, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle following behind me. We entered as quietly as possible, which, with us being vampires, wasn't very hard. We heard the shower start. Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme waited downstairs. Alice, Jasper, Edward and I headed upstairs. Alice and Jasper went into Charlie's bedroom and waited. Edward followed me. We headed to the bathroom door. "I'll teleport in there and break the shower. I'll be back in a few seconds." I teleported in the bathroom and back out. "Alright. It's done. Signal Alice and Jasper. We need to head back downstairs." Edward signaled his sister and brother, and we headed downstairs.

We heard Charlie get out of the shower and go to his room. He screamed. "Alice. Jasper. What are you doing here?"

"Alright. They'll chase him down here soon. Everyone, get into position," Edward said.

Carlisle and Esme headed into the living room, Rosalie went and kneeled down by the stairs, and Emmett, Edward, and I hid in the kitchen. We heard more screams and banging upstairs. Charlie screamed in agony. He came running down the steps holding his left arm. Blood was dripping everywhere. Rosalie jumped out in front of him when he came to the bottom of the steps. She ran towards him, fangs bared. She nipped his neck with her fangs, before he slipped past her and into the living room. Carlisle and Esme ran towards him and dragged him to the floor. They bared their fangs and bit down on his arms and legs. They made sure they didn't touch his chest. That belonged to me. He finally struggled out of their grip and ran to the kitchen. Emmett ran out and grabbed him. He bit down on his neck and growled. He stopped him from moving, but he was still alive. Edward and I walked out and stared at him.

"Bella!" he screamed. "What's going on? Why are they attacking me? Bella, Edward and his family has gone mad! Stop them! Please!"

I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. "When exactly were you going to tell me, Charlie? When were you going to tell me I was a werewolf?"

"Who told you that? We thought it be better not to tell you."

"Edward and Alice did. They found out that you weren't going to tell me. So, they did. And, now you want to kill me. Jacob told you I was a vampire. But, we beat you to the punch. And, after we're done here, we're going after Jacob and his family." I lifted my hand off his shoulder and walked back. "You know what to do Edward and Emmett. But, save the chest for me."

Edward kissed me and walked toward Charlie. Emmett and Edward practically torn Charlie to pieces. They made sure to only get his arms and legs. I stood by and watched. After a few minutes of torture, I made them stop. Charlie was in a pool of blood, lying on the ground, by the time they were done. I knelt down beside him.

"It didn't have to be this way, Charlie. If you would've just told me, I could've helped settle things out between werewolves and vampires. But, then, when Jacob tells you I'm a vampire, you decide to kill me?"

"You're not a vampire, Bella. You're a werewolf. You're going to have to deal with that."

"No, Charlie. Edward turned me into a vampire and married me. I'm not a werewolf anymore. I'm a vampire. I'll find some way to get rid of the werewolf half of me. I won't live being part werewolf. And now, Charlie, it's time to die." I stood and gave Edward a kiss. I walked over to where the silverware was. I grabbed a knife and walked back over to Charlie. "I usually wouldn't use a knife, but, I have to now. You see, we've planned this to look like a suicide." Bella kneeled down beside Charlie, making sure not to step in any blood. She took the knife and held it over Charlie's chest.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bella? I can do it if you don't want to." Edward looked at me.

I looked up at Edward. "No, Edward. I can do it. Everything's set up, right? It looks like a suicide?"

"Yes."

I looked back at Charlie. I brought the knife down to his chest. A look of shock crossed his face. The knife pierced his chest. He looked at me with amazement. Finally, his eyes went blank. I stood up and turned to Edward. I went to him and he wrapped me in his arms. He kissed my head.
