I walked down the stairs my stomach was in knots as Leah smiled at me trying to give me encouragement, Leah was carrying my bag as we hit the bottom level "Hey dad"I said as Charlie turned around his hair was spiked up and dark circles are under his eyes "Jaiden where is bella?"He asked. Charlie never played around but didn't he care about where I was at? "She went with Alice to say goodbye properly"I said as Leah looked at me from the staircase she kept hidden so Charlie couldn't see her.
"Why now?"He asked as I watched him place his gun holster on the hook with strained ease, I have never seen Charlie so stressed he walked past me and the staircase without looking up. He sat on the couch and let out a sigh I looked at Leah who was just as uncomfortable as I was "Why now?"He asked again I walked past Leah and sat on the chair next to the couch "She couldn't handle loosing Harry so Alice took her away so she could relax and get over Edward right."I said as Charlie's head snapped up to look at me "What do you mean? Is she seeing that...boy?"He asked I nodded I realized that if Bella or Edward wanted to be able to start over or even if Bella comes out of this without Edward I am still going to have to lie my butt off.
"To mace him, Or kick him wear the sun don't shine...Or both"I said cooly I could hear Leah chuckle lightly and l had to admit it felt good to say that..I loved Edward but he was being a frickin child about everything. Charlie nodded not even laughing about that my smile fell as I saw how much Harry's death has affected him, "Dad I am staying at Emilys...Do you need me to stay here?"I asked as I looked at my father who sighed "No, Jaiden...I need to go over to Sues anyways...I wished she would have waited"Said Charlie as he ran his hand through his already spiky hair.
"I know dad"I said as I stood up and Leah took that chance to stomp on the stairs making it seem like she was walking down but really she was stomping her feet at the bottom "Hay Jaiden I got your..."Leah yelled as she 'walked off' of the stairs and pausing like she just caught a private looking from me to her, I guess me being with Leah of all people would make Charlie snap out of his Bella, Bella, Harry, and Harry thoughts "Hello Leah.."Charlie said as I saw Leah getting a little embarrassed but she covered really well " Hello Charlie.."She said as she looked at me "Are you ready to go?"She asked as I nodded and looked down at Charlie who was looking still a little stunned.
"I thought you where going to Emily's?"Charlie asked and I nodded "Yup but I am going to stop at Leahs and hang out with Seth and her than Jacob is going to take me to Emily's"I said as I smiled, I felt bad that it was so easy for me to lie to my father but I spent years lying about my scars and never felt guilty but I knew it was because I was protecting my family. I bent down and hugged Charlie tightly "I love you dad"I said softly as he nodded and gave me a half hug "Love you too Kiddo"He said gruffly and I walked over to Leah who was waving and walking out the door "Bye dad"I said softly as I walked out of the door and to the Jag that glimmered in the light.
Leah got into the Jag with less troubles and I got in too as I pulled out "Charlie was surprised"Said Leah as she tried to break the silence I nodded "Yup I guess it could have been worse"I said snorting as I drove down the rocking path "You know I hate Leeches but if I had that sort of money I wouldn't be placing a frickin house this far out"She said I nodded, I wasn't going to Emily's yet I had to see if they where here and much to my disappointment know body was hear.
"Damn."I said as I shook of my stupid thoughts, I knew better they wouldn't be here for days but I needed to see the area I heard Leah get out of the car and growl "This place reeks"He said I looked over at her and shrugged "I don't know about that...someone's been here"I said as I saw the shuffle on the ground "Yup...I smell blood too"said Leah as she ran into the wood, I knew that she would be a little longer than the rest of the guys because she was new at this so I went to walked around. I fallowed the shuffle to the garage that had closed door, I looked around and didn't see Leah I fazed my head through the side wall and saw blood and...feathers tons of feathers.
I steped into the garage and looked around there where about six duck corpses around the garage and the blood was smeered, I touched a little that was on the wall and it was dry who ever had been here was gone now..or at least I hoped so I could hear leah wine and I pulled up the garage "It is duck blood..Who ever did this is gone"I said as I looked around and saw a small frame that had a crack I picked it up and saw the small photo of me and Rosalie under a car our leggs sticking out from the bottom.
It had blood on it and I took my shirt and rubbed it off and placed it gingerly back into the tool kit, I heard Leah wine and I looked at her she had her head was facing the house like she needed to go "What's wrong?"I asked as I heard crashing I ran through the wall and watched as a red eyed vampire turn towards me growling I gasped as I knew that this vampire was a newborn. "Ugh.."moaned the vampire as he flitted to me, Leah pounced and the newborn was quicker "Stop!"I yelled as the newborn paused enough for Leah to tear his head off and fling it into the brush and started to tear off the rest of him.
I could here his cries of dismay as I got closer to the bush "who are you?"I asked as the head glared at me "H..Henry"He gasped having trouble talking since his vocal box was probably tore up "Hello Henry...Who changed you"I asked as I heard the click of a lighter and the swoosh of flames and Henry cried "No!...Red hair that was all I saw."He said I noticed that Henry was only around 20 but he wasn't at all good looking. I saw Leah came over and picked up the head and chucked it into the purple flame "Damn leech."She said as I noticed Leah was stark naked "Erm...Leah"I said as I looked up.
"Oh..Sorry"She said as she ran into the woods and put on some clothes "Did you tell the others?"I asked Leah shook her head "No not yet I guess this happened when they just switched the shifts"She said as she come out of the forest. "Oh..He said that all he saw was red hair."I said as I walked to the Jag and pulled up the door "Shit."said Leah as she got in "Lets go tell the others."I said as I pulled out of the Cullen property.
