AN: I got my first review and that was SO cool to me. Yes this is an Edward and Bella story and he is about to come into play. I was trying to set up a decent back story. And even though Charlie is gone, he will still show up somehow :)!
I don't know why I am finding it so hard to wake up from my nightmares. All I can see a million times over is the moment in my father's eye when he knew it was over. I keep replaying that scene over and over in a million different ways.
I feel like I am being shaken, and I was. It was Alice telling me everything would be okay and that I needed to wake up, and finally I did. My body was cold and calmly. I felt sick to my stomach knowing that nightmare was a reality.
Like I could have ever forgotten. I guess Emmett carried me onto the plane because we were flying through the night air.
The plane was huge and just as grand as I thought it would be. It reminded me of Charlie. We all turned our seats to face a table in the center of the plane as if we were having dinner. Emmett came to sit beside me and held tightly to my hand. "Bella.. there is a video we need to watch. It's from dad."
Was I ready for something like that? The answer was no, but what choice did I really have. "Alice can you bring us the computer?" She brought it and set it on the table. We told everyone they could stay. The computer came to life and I saw our father alive and well.
"Kids I love you so much, but if you're watching this something awful has happened that has taken me away from you both. I wish I could have prevented it, however it is a risk we take in this life which you both know well. Right now you are on a plane headed for Chicago to stay with the Cullen's.
Carlisle and Esme Cullen are about as good as people get. They have 2 biological children Edward, and Alice, and two adoptive kids Japer and Rosalie. Carlisle was my best friend all through my childhood who completely understood this life, and agreed to be the father to the two of you that I now cant be.
I know this is hard and it is a lot of change. But this is the best family outside of our own that I could ever want for the two of you. If I had it my way you know it would still be the three of us. Listen to Carlisle, he will lead you, teach you and train you just as I would.
You will find in his home many DVDs like this one. I made one for miles stones in your life that I now cannot be there for. Ask Carlisle for them as you reach them. This was the best I could do to still feel like your old man is with you.
Follow your new lifes and new identities. You are no longer twins. Bells you are the only Swan a female who is no threat." Charlie said in quotations knowing good and well I am more of a threat than most men.
"Emmett you're a McCarty now, I am hoping this will ensure the safety of the two of you. Do not let anyone in outside of the Cullen's for the time being.
And Emmett take care of your sister, and Bells be there for Em. I know the next few months will be hard, but I've put things in place for the two of you. I love you more than my own life. I will always be watching you my babies."
And with that the screen went dark. I don't even think I realized I was going into a panic. Or that Emmett my big and strong brother was sobbing next to me. There wasn't a dry eye at this deep cherry wood table.
We all stayed silent while I fought through my attack to keep myself present for Emmett. He needed me as much as I needed him.
Jasper was the first to speak up, "I don't know what I would do in your position, but we will be there every step of the way. We are family and we are here for you. I don't really know what else there is to say. We will touch down in about an hour. In the meantime Rose is going to work on your cell phones."
I looked up at him in confusion for two reasons. One what the hell did he mean "work" and two that beautiful woman could fix technology? "
Guys I am going to change your phone number and make it fit your new identities. I am also going to make sure it was not bugged in any way being able to be tracked. Right now we don't really know who was after Charlie so while we are in the air I want to change it before we hit the ground and it becomes able to be tracked again.
Emmett started at Rose wide eyed and bewildered. He kept opening and closing his mouth like a fool. "What just because I look this way doesn't mean I am dumb, silly boy. I work on all the families cars and do all the work for any hacking we need done." Rosalie said smirking at my bother
I couldn't help it , it was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at their exchange. I swear I almost died when Emmett responded "I will marry you some day Rosie." With a big fat grin on his face, but I know my brother and he was dead serious. Whether Rose knew that or not.
I took my iPhone out of my bag and handed it to Rose to do whatever she needed to do. It was honestly pretty amazing to see her write codes and change the whole make of my phone from 30,000 feet in the air.
The captain finally put on the seat belt light and we all sat back down and got ready for the final leg of our journey towards the Cullen's and our new life. It was all so surreal to think about, so I didn't. The flight started to descend and you could feel a little turbulence but other than that the ride was smooth.
We walked out of the plane still hidden by the darkness. Together we all got to the newest black SUV and were ussered in my a talk native American boy about my age or maybe a little older. He held out his hand for me to get in, but I let Emmett help me. My dads voice ringing in my head saying trust no one.
So that's what I did. About 30 minutes from the airport we pulled up to the most beautiful home I had ever seen. It must have come out of Better Homes for the Mob or something. "Welcome home guys." Alice said in her sing song voice.
And this was it. Time to face Carlisle and Esme Cullen and maybe the son we heard so much about, Edward.
