Disclaimer: SM owns all characters in the story and I am only a simple fan who wants to write my own version of the story.

I'm really sorry you guys if it took a while for me to update my story! I really do appreciate all the feedback and the follows and I do hope you would be able to check out the first book of this story (Twilight Collision) which can be found in my profile.

I was really hoping that I would be able to make a lot of progress with the next chapters with everything that's going on around the world but it turns out, there's a lot of things I had to do at home that's keeping me from getting to my laptop.

I'll try my best to make sure I can post new chapters sooner rather than later so here's one for now. Thank you all and Stay Safe!

Charlie Swan is Forks Washington's very own Chief of Police. He has lived his whole life in this small town and he was contented. He married young to a Renee Higginbotham but their marriage did not last long. She left before they could even begin to start a family. After his failed marriage, Charlie devoted his life to protecting the town and had worked hard to earn his way to becoming the Chief of Police.

There was not much crime or even anything that eventful happening into town except when the Cullen Family moved in a few years back but even then, everything was as normal as you could have imagined it to be. The family had kept to their own and having Dr. Cullen working at the hospital proved to be beneficial to the town. Even the Doctors adoptive kids proved to be model citizens and he was glad about that so it was a wonder to him why his best friend, Billy Black and the rest of the member of his tribe at the Quileute reservation despises the other family.

To him, they were good people as long they continue to follow the rules and not make any trouble.

Charlie was a good cop and he was the kind of person who was always ready to help so it was no surprise when one day, he stopped by the side of the road to see Dr. Ross, standing over his car with the hoods up and smoke coming out the front.

"Need a hand Doc?" Charlie greeted the old Doctor. "Hey Charlie. I wish you could. Looks like this one is a goner. I'm gonna need a tow truck for this."

"You want me to call them for you?"

"I'm good. There's already one on its way but I could really use some help on some other thing though if it's not too much" The Doctor went to the passenger's side and took out a small box.

"Sure thing. What is it?"

"Well, there are files inside this box containing some of the rare cases that Dr. Cullen handled in the hospital and some of his belongings that was left behind. I was hoping to bring this to him before they leave town but the car broke down." There was a hint of sadness and disappointment when he mentioned the other Doctors name. Dr. Cullen was an asset at the hospital with his expertise and with him gone; the hospital lost one of its best doctors.

"I can take care of that."

"Thanks Charlie. Oh! There is the tow truck now. You might as well run along before it gets dark. I know their property is hard to find during the day."

"Are you sure you'll be okay here Doc?"

"Yes, yes I'll be fine" Charlie was unsure of leaving the Doctor alone but now that the truck just arrived, he finally agreed and took the box from him.

"Alright then. See yah doc!"

"Thanks Chief"

With that, Charlie placed the box in the passenger seat of his Cruiser and slowly made his way towards the Cullen Residence.

Darkness was already starting to creep in the forest by the time the Police Chief arrived at the Cullen residence. It had taken him several wrong turns and at least two radio calls to their dispatcher to verify the exact address. When he got there, the place was quiet.

It was clear that whoever lived there was long gone but he got out of the cruiser anyway with the box in tow. He thought that maybe they left a note with their new address so he can just have the things mailed instead.

Charlie walked up the porch and his police instincts kicked in the moment he saw the main door ajar. Quietly, he laid down the box and got his gun out. Making sure the safety was on, he made his way inside the house.

He knew that the Cullen's where not the type of people to leave an expensive house unlocked so something was definitely off.

This was the first time that Charlie set foot on the Cullen house and could not imagine how a Doctor of a small town, raising teenagers, can afford this much. Not to mention, he heard all about the fancy cars that almost every one of the Cullen family members seem to own. This was beyond his pay grade but beyond their riches, it did not make any difference now that the house was full of emptiness. Expensive furniture were covered in white sheets and he wondered what could have happened that made them leave just like that.

Was it really because of a huge offer was given to the Doctor to work in the city? It all seems too rushed.

Looking around, there seems to be no sign of forced entry or anything that was out of place but just as he was about to turn around, he caught a figure in his periphery. When he looked again, there it was. Lying behind what seems to be a grand piano underneath a white sheet was a body.

Charlie rushed to the figure lying on the ground and realized the figure was of a young woman, a teenager. He immediately checked for a pulse and breathed in relief when he found one. The pulse was strong but the way she curled herself on the ground with her eyes shut, you would think that she was dead.

"Edward…." She murmured.

"Don't go…"

The girl was talking to herself and did not show signs that she was aware of the cop's presence or that she was awake.

He tried to check for any injuries and caught the bandage on her wrist that had traces of dry blood. This alarmed the Police Chief. He needed to get her to a hospital. It was out of the question to call an ambulance because of how hard the place was to find during the dark so he had no choice but to carry her to his cruiser and drive her to the hospital.

It took all his strength to carry her all the way to his car and within the next few minutes, he was already making his way out of the driveway and to the road back to town.

All the while, several questions were going through his head. Who was she? What was the girl doing at the Cullen's? Was she a Cullen? He never met the whole family in person so he did not know what the kids looked like.

Charlie paced back and forth in the waiting room after he rushed the girl to the hospital. He could not stop worrying about the girl and wanted to make sure she was okay before leaving. As soon as the doctor came out, Charlie immediately rushed towards her to get some news.

"She's just resting but she'll be fine Chief Swan." Dr. Hailey assured him and he sighed in relief.

"Thanks. Was she hurt?"

"There was a wound in her wrist that looked like an animal bite. We already cleaned that up but other than that, we didn't see any other injuries or signs that she was hurt badly"

"That's good to hear"

"But…" the Doctor continued, "She seems to be in some kind of an emotional trauma. She just needs some rest and she should be fine."

"Is she awake?"

"No. She is still resting but feel free to check on her. If she wakes up, we can get her details so I can have her papers ready. You don't know her, do you Chief Swan?"

"No. But I'll see what I can find out" The doctor nodded and excused herself to attend to other patients.

Charlie made his way inside and found her lying in one of the beds at the far end corner of the room with the curtain pulled to the side. He approached slowly but froze the moment he stood right on top of her bed.

This was the first time that he saw her clearly and something in the features of her face caught him by surprise. He was a hundred percent sure that he never met this girl before but there was something in her that was so familiar but he could not seem to pinpoint.

Something was drawing him to this girl. Something inside him that wanted to make sure that, she was going to be okay. It was also more than just him being a cop worrying about the people around him and he did not understand it.

By the looks of it, he did not think she would wake up soon so Charlie decided to leave her in the meantime. Maybe he can drop by the next day to see how she was doing.

He left the hospital and as he sat down in the driver's seat of his cruiser, something caught his eye.

He looked back and there was a crumpled piece of paper at the back seat where she laid the girl.

Charlie reached at the back and picked it up. He opened the paper and started reading the content and that was when he realized what was wrong with her.

Bella,

I cannot do this to you.

You deserve a happy and normal life without me.

Goodbye.

Edward

The man was too familiar with this because he experienced the same lost years ago. Memories that he had buried now resurfaced seeing this young woman suffer the same heartache that he did the day his wife left him. They may be living separate lives now and they may have moved on but the pain that came with it was all too familiar.

Whoever this Edward was broke this girl's heart and she was not taking it well. Charlie was lost in his thoughts. He was not sure if one of the Cullen kids was Edward but seeing as how she was in their home, that was the only explanation he could find.

The next day, Charlie walked into the hospital after his work to check up on the girl. The nurse who was in charge informed him that the girl was awake but unfortunately, she was not talking to anyone. She would eat food that was given to her when no one was around which was a good thing. At least they did not have to worry about putting her on IV. Other than that, she was not saying or responding to anything.

Charlie was once again standing beside the girl's bed. This time, she was awake. She was curled up in bed, hugging her knees and looking straight ahead, never noticing the police chief beside her.

The police chief tried to remember her name from the letter that he read. Bella. That was it. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"Uhm… hey kid… Your name is Bella right?" Nothing. He waited.

A few awkward moments later, she looked up at the man standing beside her, the only acknowledgement that she was able to make and for the second time around, Charlie froze in his place. It was not just the familiarity that he felt towards the girl even before. Now, she was staring at him with those deep chocolate brown eyes filled with emptiness.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself and to make sure that he was not just seeing things. When he opened it, he looked at her and he could no longer hide the surprise in his face. He saw that everything about her facial features were exactly like his. He could not believe it that in front of him was a young girl who he could have mistaken as his own daughter.

The girl, Bella, only looked at him but went back into gazing into nothingness. Charlie's mind was in overdrive. He wanted answers! He wanted to know who the girl was. He wanted to know why she was so familiar. He wanted to know if he and the girl were in a way related and at that moment, he was not getting any answers.

The only clue to the girl's identity was her first name and nothing else. He turned to leave seeing that he would not be able to get any answers from her. Instead, he planned to do everything he can to find out exactly who she is.
