Go on, admit it. You thought we would never get there. But it's finished. =] Not really sure if I'm happy or sad. Happy I've finally finished one of my many stories, sad theres no more of Lacey to come. No sequel.

Charlie's POV

I watched as the EMTs slammed the doors shut to the ambulance. I was the only police officer on the scene. Which wasn't so unusual seeing as there are only a handful of policemen in Forks.

I watched as the ambulance skidded out of the driveway. I rubbed my temples and reached into my pocket. After a long search through my contacts I finally found one that seemed useful. Esme. No answer. Emmett, no answer. Jasper, no answer. Finally I called the operator for the one I didn't have. Carlisle's.

"Hello, Carlisle Cullen speaking."

I let out a sigh of relief, "This is Charlie. Carlisle there's been an accident."

I'd half expected him to immediately worry of his adopted children. But instead he asked me, "Is Bella alright?"

I was too worried to laugh about my clumsy daughter, "No. There's actually been an attack."

He cleared his throat, "So, Charlie, am I to understand you are calling me on police business?"

"Yes."

There was a long silence, "What is it?"

"Well," I huffed, "I'm sorry to say that one of my officers had the wrong idear about you Cullens. She attacked Edward, Rosalie, and Alice."

He sighed, "What did she think?"

"She believed… you're going to laugh at this Carlisle. She thought that you… the whole family, she." I forced out a laugh, "she thought that you, everyone, that you were a coven of vampires."

On the other side of the phone was dead silence.

"Carlisle?" I asked to see if he was still there.

He chuckled awkwardly, "That's bull crap."

Something seemed weird about the way it took him so long to answer. So I decided it was because he was worried about his children.

"Tell me about the attack. What happened after she came in?"

"She shot Rosalie severa-"

"Oh goodness, no." He finally cracked. "How is she?"

"Not well, the others though, I assumed tried to fight. Edward was shot three times. And Alice only once."

Carlisle seemed shocked, "And they were injured?"

I tried to understand, "Of cour-" But I couldn't finish the words. I was soon thrown face first on the ground. There I was sprawled with someone on top of me. I knew immediately it must be Deb. She pulled my arm behind my back and yanked, again and again. And with her other arm she scooped up my neck which laid in the crook of her elbow.

I was struggling to breathe. And I could swear I saw red then. Something snapped. I let myself go and threw my head back and my body with all the force I had. Until I had flipped over and now was on top.

I twisted around and pinned her shoulders to the ground searching for my cuffs. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during interrogation. If you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"

She didn't cave. "Ok, I'll be silent from now on." But Deb threw her head forward into my face. When I was off guard she threw me off of her and jumped up. Again and again she kicked me and pulled her own cuffs from her belt.

When I was still stunned she slapped one on my wrist, but there was no way I would let her get away. There was a possibility she had killed my daughters new husband or sister in-laws. I swung my arm and allowed the hard metal to smash into her skull. In my life living in Forks I had been in a total of two brawls, this being one of them.

"Charlie," she screamed. "Charlie. Charlie, you've ruined it! I had to kill the demons. I had to!" Deb shoved me to the ground and screams at me.

"Deb, they're normal people. I don't know what's happened to you."

"Like hell." She snapped in my face. "They're from hell, and you've gone to their side! Charlie Swan don't you understand? Don't you? By stopping me from ridding the world of them you're going to hell. Charlie you'll go to hell. I have to cleanse your soul. I must kill you. I need to save you!"

And she wrapped her fingers around my throat. I coughed, and tried to suck in air. But nothing came in. As much as I struggled she was relentless and her cold fingers didn't give. I started to slip away.

Lacey's POV

"Paul I know you don' want to talk to me. But will you at least listen? I need to tell you what happened."

He stared away from me, out the window.

"Look at me. Please, Pauly, look at me."

He huffed and turned.

I walked to him, "I love you." And I grabbed the sides of his face.

He pulled away. "Just say what you need to."

"My life was different before Forks. I was out of control. And my single mother didn't know what to do. I was doing just about everything. Sex, drugs, alcohol, drunk driving, street racing, sneaking out, clubbing; she was scared, so she sent me to my cousin's father, my ex-uncle I guess, the cop.

"Then I met you. And you'd be there for me whatever happened. But I didn't think it would last. So I ran away. I was scared. I didn't want to get hurt. But what's more is… I saw you were a nice guy and I didn't want to hurt you."

He shrugged. "Those are you're mistakes."

"I know, and I figure it's smarter to just come clean. Tell you everything."

Paul waited.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth as if I were going to say something. But nothing came out. I held the breath in until finally I couldn't. "I was raped, Paul."

He tensed automatically, as if he could change things.

Tears came to my eyes, "I was raped when I was nine. Again and again by the same man. He was our next-door neighbor. My babysitter. And my mother and father trusted him." I sobbed and choked on air. "And I was too afraid to tell anyone. So he went free. And it kept happening. As I got older, I thought it was the only way to make people love me. He said he loved me.

"It went on for years. Finally my dad… he walked in. I had my backed turned, as I got dressed. He saw bruises all over my back. He knew then. And he wanted to be sure. One day he stayed home. When I was eleven. And he went into our neighbors house. He waited and sure enough. It happened. My father went berserk. He told me to go home. And then I never saw him again. I knew… the man had killed my dad."

Paul cleared his throat, "Lacey I'm sorry to hear this but I'm not sure it has anything to do with…"

"Just wait, Paul. What I'm trying to say is… It's what made me so messed up. It's the reason I got in on all this stuff. I'm trying to say… maybe you're right Paul. Maybe I'm not good enough for you. I don't think I ever will be. How could a girl so damaged be good enough for someone so… perfect."

He protested, "I'm not perfect. Lacey, I'm anything but."

"Yes you are," I cried. "You would never hurt me like he did. Or use me like everyone else. I'm not good enough for you."

He walked toward me, "Lacey, you've always been good enough. Those boys, they aren't good enough for you. That man. He was scum. A piece of shit that deserved to be flushed, Lacey, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met."

"You're just saying that. You imprinted."

He shook his head, "I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true." He took my face in his hands this time. "Don't be afraid of me." That was Paul said before he kissed me with more love than anyone ever had.

Charlie's POV

I gagged and began to close my eyes. But I thought of everything. Bella. Sue. Everything Deb had made me lost. I thrashed my head around and rolled. I then pushed her face away with my hands and clambered to my feet.

She struggled and fought with my standing. She didn't pay attention to a distant roar. But it got closer and closer until it was right there. But she didn't listen. She didn't hear. It was then I noticed that she was deaf. The familiar earpiece wasn't in her ear. She didn't notice until it was too late.

She was attacking me as it came closer. And at the last minute, I jumped out of the way. Deb was soon a hood ornament on Bella's truck.

Bella jumped out of the truck a moment later. "Dad. Was I right? Was that what I should have done."

I squatted and felt for a pulse. Deb was dead. I straightened myself and turned to Bella, "I wish it didn't have to be you. But yes. Bella you did the right thing." Then I looked at the hood of the truck, "Not even a scratch. I told you this was a good car. The Volvo would have been destroyed."

She nodded. "Where are they?"

"That's the problem Bella. Deb came and attacked them. Almost killed them. Edward was shot three time; Rosalie, six; and Alice, once. Deb was insane, she almost shot Samantha.

Bella stood there. "Dad. Dad!" she was frantic. "Is Edward alive? Is he okay?"

"I don't know."

Afterward

After Deb's death life started to change for the Cullens. After Edward, Rosalie, and Alice's recovery it was decided that the life of living and breathing was what they preferred. And the whole family decided to transfer back. They still, of course retained all their powers and abilities. They chose blood over food. But they continued to age.

Only a few months after they had healed Rosalie and Emmett tried for a baby. It took a few tries but eventually they had a beautiful boy and following that only eleven months later was a boy, and then finally two girls.

Alice and Jasper decided not to have children. They wanted to just be an aunt and uncle. That was all they needed.

Bella and Edward had two children, but they waited years, they were around thirty-five when they decided. Bella's last child was a girl whom Alice seemed to adopt as her own. She became the most fashionable first grader in Forks Elementary School.

Esme, though she wanted a child discovered she was unable. Her uterus was scarred and she couldn't carry a baby.

Billy died at age eighty-four and Charlie outlived him until the age ninety eight. He was determined to reach one hundred. Carlisle lived the longest of all the Cullens. He lived to again three-hundred and seventy-four. He found that the vampire gene still enabled him to live much longer than a normal human.

The end… of the Twilight Cullens. Though Cullens still lived on. Carlisle and his clan were not among them.
