The line from New Moon will be under lined.

Chapter 3

Damon pov:

After an almost two-hour flight to Seattle and renting a car, a Chevy Camaro of course, I finally pull up to Charlie's house in Forks. Why they would name a town after utensils? I don't know. I get out the car and make my way to the door and quickly knock. I hear Charlie get up and come to the door and there he is still rocking that awesome porn-stache, but what is different is the look of utter defeat in his eyes. He looks as if he's not sleeping with all the dark bags under his eyes. Bella must be doing pretty bad for him to be like this. Heck, he had to call me so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

"Damon, thanks for coming. Come on in." He says gruffly.

"It's Bella, Charlie of course I came. How bad is it?" I ask stepping into the house. I use my hearing to listen for Bella and hear her heartbeat and quiet breathing, but other than that no sounds.

"She doesn't eat, she doesn't speak it's like I'm living here alone. It's when she goes to sleep that it's the worst. She starts screaming like someone is killing her calling out for that damn ex-boyfriend of hers, Edward." He spits out his name like it's a curse. "She'll just thrash around and I try to wake her up, sometimes it works other times I'll have to hold her down to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. Renee even came out here to try and take her to Jacksonville, and Bella threw a fit that you wouldn't believe. She started screaming and throwing things everywhere talking about not leaving and needing to stay here. Bella wouldn't stop until I agreed then she shut down, said thank you, and moved around cleaning her room like a robot then went back to that damn chair. I just don't know what to do anymore Damon." Charlie's voice cracks on that last sentence.

"What exactly happened?" I ask doing my best to keep my temper. This doesn't sound like the sweet girl I know at all. I'm feeling murderous.

"Bella started dating this boy, Edward Cullen, and she spent all her time with him and a couple of months ago she left because she was worried, she was going to be stuck, what with her falling in love too fast and went back to Phoenix. Edward and his father, Carlisle, went to try and talk Bella into coming back and the clumsy girl falls down the stairs and out a window of their hotel," I quirk an eyebrow. That's a cover up if I ever heard one. A shitty one at that. "She came back and went right back to spending her days with him like nothing happened. About a week after school let out for the summer his family just up and leaves. I came home to find a note saying 'Going for a walk with Edward, up the path. Back soon' and she wasn't home yet. I waited for about an hour and a half before I went to look for her and she was gone I had to call in a search party. One of the boys from the reservation found her a couple of miles in the woods lying on the ground just saying 'he's gone' over and over again. Bella told me she got lost on the way back, but I know better that boy left her there! Then she turned into this thing! That's not my daughter, Damon!" He says pointing up the stairs.

As he's speaking my anger gets so bad, I had to turn away to make sure he wouldn't see my vampire face. I stop and think for a second. Bella needs to get away from here, but there is all that bull shit going on back home. I could protect her with Klaus and Stefan being gone. I mean I'm still going to help Elena get him back, but Bella is my priority. That's it I'm bringing her home. I look Charlie in the eyes compelling him. "I'm taking Bella with me to Mystic Falls. You're going to miss her, but you know this is going to be good for her. You're going to call the school and get her transcripts sent to Mystic Falls High. When she comes to talk to you, you will let her know this is always her home and let her go," after he repeats what I've said I say normally "I'm going to enroll her at the high school. My brother and his friends are all seniors, so she won't be alone," a small half-truth won't hurt anyone. Stefan won't be there, but everyone else will. "I'll go get her packed and ready. we have a flight to catch." I step away pulling out my phone and booking our flight to Richmond. I'm gonna have to have someone come get us.

I open Bella's door and see her sitting there in her rocking chair staring out the window. I take a deep breath and my eyes zero in on her and start sniffing the air. Cold one! I'd recognize that burnt sugar smell anywhere. I let out a growl and say with a slightly raised voice, "Isabella Marie Swan you have a lot of explaining to do!" She doesn't even flinch at my tone of voice. I walk around to her front and silently gasp. As I kneel to her level, I see she's dangerously underweight, her once beautiful hair is now limp and lifeless, her eyes are sunken in with dark circles and they look dead. She looks at me for a fraction of a second, still with the dead look, then looks back out the window. "What have they done to you, piccola?" I whisper as I reach out with one hand and touch her cheek. Bella still doesn't respond, doesn't even move except for a lone tear running down her face which I quickly wipe away. My little Bella. I'm going to kill whoever did this to her. Nobody hurts my girl and gets away with it. "I'm going to bring you back Isa I promise. Go take a shower you're coming home with me." Her eyes flash to mine and hold so much anger. I am not having any of that, "I don't want to hear it. You and I know if they want to find you, they can, so cut the crap and get in the shower. I'll pack your bags for you then we are leaving. End of discussion." I snap and make my way to her closet. Hearing her not moving I don't even bother turning around and say, "Go Isabella don't make me say it again." I grab her suitcase and bag and start packing, and after a second she sighs and grabs her stuff and heads to the shower.

Man, she barely has any clothes on her hangers. Looking down I see a bunch of clothes on the floor with a fine layer of dust on them. I bend and look at them and it's all extra fancy designer shit that my Bella would never wear and by the smell I know where they came from. Ignoring that stuff, I see a black trash bag and peak inside. It's a stereo that looks like it got into a fight with a demon and lost. There are faint traces of Bella's blood on it. Huh. Guess it did fight with a demon. This is a top of the line stereo too. What did they think she was a prostitute or something? All these cold ones are on my shit list. I use my Vamp speed and finish quickly as I heard her get out of the shower and set the bag and suitcase on her bed and sit on the bed's edge to wait.

"Damon can we go somewhere before we leave? I want to see something." She says. Her voice sounds so scratchy from not using it, but I look up surprised she spoke at all.

"Sure Isa. I'm going to put your stuff in the car, and I want you to go say a proper goodbye to Charlie then we'll go, but we have to hurry our flight is in 2 hours." She just nods once and starts putting on her shoes, "I do mean a real goodbye Isa. Use your words and give a hug or no deal." I smirk at her she nods again and heads downstairs. I don't bother listening as she says goodbye because I know she will listen. I grab her stuff and head out putting it in the car, then go back to get Bella. Charlie reminds me to take care of her and I watch as she puts her jacket on and her sleeve slides up a bit revealing a silver crescent shaped scar. "Those little sparkly pieces of shit bit her!" I growl out too low for human ears as she walks out the door. I turn to Charlie and compel him once more. "If her ex-boyfriend or any of his family come here looking for her tell them exactly this 'Don't bother looking for her unless your sparkly ass wants to die a horrible painful death. Isabella is safe and where she needs to be. Leave it alone.' Then forget you ever said it and forget this conversation until it's time." I stop compelling him, "I'll do everything to help her get better Charlie I promise."

" I know you will Damon thank you. You better go catch your flight." He says then goes back to the TV and I go out to the car and we head out.

Bella tells me we're going hiking and I laugh picturing her hiking. Once we get there she asks if I can smell him and I realize she knew what they were and got angry demanding answers. She just snaps back at me and I sniff the air sensing the same scent that was in her room. Once I confirm, she hops on my back saying she'll explain, and I let her know that I know about her bite and take off at a fast walk while she starts talking. Man did she really step in it. Not just any cold ones, animal drinking cold ones, that's even worse considering they're blood lust issues. My little danger magnet. I growl a little when she talks about Phoenix and this James guy, but are surprised Eddie was able to control himself enough to get the venom out saving my Bella. From what she described of her first day of school I realized she must be Eddie's singer. Then she talks about cutting her finger in a house full of cold ones, and a guy named Jasper attacking her. Turns out it's my old friend Major Jasper Whitlock from my army days. We were good friends back then and he even came home with me once and met Stefan and Katherine. Jasper never liked Katherine and preferred to just hang out with me instead. I wonder if he knew she was a vampire. I doubt it. I mention to Bella that I see a clearing ahead and she jumps down and takes off running not tripping once. I stood there frozen and watched as she broke down in sobs just looking around and then I hear her gasp.

"Laurent." She sounds surprised and I make my way over to her close enough to be there if needed, but out of sight. I want to hear what happens.

"Bella?" he asks. "I didn't expect to see you here." Bella looks around and spots me and I nod to let her know to keep going, but the other guy can't see me.

"Isn't it the other way around? I do live here. I thought you'd gone to Alaska." She says as he takes a few steps forward.

"You're right I did go to Alaska. Still, I didn't expect... When I found the Cullen place empty, I thought they'd moved on."

"Oh." She says and continue, "They did move on."

"Hmm," he murmured. "I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?"

"Something like that. What are you doing here though?" She asks.

The sparkly guy takes a few more steps closer, but I don't move because I would still win this race. My kind of vampires are superior to cold ones much stronger and faster than they could ever dream of being.

"I actually came here as a favor to her." He made a face. "She won't be happy about this."

"About what?" Bella asks, but I already know what he's about to say and hope Bella gets more information before I step in.

"About me killing you," he answered. Bella takes a step back towards me. "She wanted to save that part for herself. She's sort of... put out with you, Bella."

Bella makes a show of looking around again then looks at me and I do a hand gesture to tell her keep going then give her a thumbs up to let her know she's safe. "Why me?" She asks. Good, simple, straight to the point.

He shook his head and chuckled. " I know, it seems a little backward to me, too. But James was her mate," Oh shit. "And your Edward killed him." I watch as Bella flinches at the sound of his name and wraps her arms around her torso as if she would fall apart. "She thought it more appropriate to kill you than Edward-fair turn about, mate for mate. She asked me to get the lay of the land for her, so to speak. I didn't imagine you would be so easy to get to."

Okay I've heard enough. I quickly flash right in front of the guy and grab him by the throat lifting him of the ground. I let my vampire face bleed out and growl "Not so easy Sparkles." I take joy in the fact that his face has a look of horror and he starts struggling.

"You should let me have the girl, stranger. We can share her, and we would be doing her a kindness. What Victoria has planned for her is far worse than what we would do." He says still firmly in my grip.

"You see, Sparkles, that there lies the problem. That girl over there just so happens to be my goddaughter," I try not to laugh as his eyes widen and he starts shaking.

"Just let me go I will leave you in peace." He says still trembling.

"Sorry, not sorry." I say with a smirk and tear him apart quickly. I turn to Bella who is staring at Sparkles with wide eyes and then she looks to me completely shocked.

"How?"

"Oh please," I tell her as I pull out my zippo lighter and head to her. "Even a baby vamp could take out a cold one. Do you want the honors?" I ask holding the zippo out to her.

"No thanks," she quietly whispers.

"Suit yourself," I say and toss the lighter on to the pile of body parts and watch as it instantly catches burning him to ashes. "Come on Bella," I order pulling her on my back and take off running. "We have a plane to catch and a cold one to avoid and later kill. You're going to be on house duties for a while for not telling me about all this."

"Yes sir," she sighs from her spot on my back. Then we reach the car and head to the airport. After a quick phone call to Ric to have him pick us up later, we are finally headed home. Inside I already know life just got so much more complicated.
