Hello everyone! Time for the long awaited chapter 7! Sorry this took so long, my stupid computer doesn't like me and locked the document . O well! Here it goes!
BANG! BANG! BANG! That was the sound that woke Charlie from his sleep. Half awake he stumbled to see who was pounding on the door. He flung it opened to find a Renee he had never seen before. Her hair was disheveled; she had dark rings under her eyes which were red and puffy. She wore no makeup and baggy clothes.
"Oh Charlie!" She sobbed and threw herself into his arms. He held back his shock and tried to comfort her.
"It's ok Renee", Charlie said half heartedly, "I'm sure we will find her soon"
"Who did it?" Renee yelled, "I'm going to tear him apart!"
"We suspect that it is Edward Cullen", Charlie explained his suspicions, "But we haven't found anything to pin on him yet".
"Edward, Bella's boyfriend?" Renee asked, Charlie nodded, "WHERE IS HE! I'LL SOON GET HIM CONFESSING!" She yelled looking about wildly like Edward would be in the living room.
"Renee, relax", Charlie said grabbing her by the shoulders, "I have this under control".
"NO YOU DON'T!" Renee yelled, "IF YOU DID, BELLA NEVER WOULD HAVE DISAPPARED!" Charlie flinched.
"Make yourself at home", Charlie said quietly, "if you need me, I'll be in my room". He then turned his back on the woman he loved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bella?" Edward asked worried, "Are you alright?"
I sat up and looked around. Immediately I noticed that everything looked sharper. I could see things that I never would be able to see three days ago. Next I noticed that every sound seemed louder. I turned and looked at Edward and grinned.
"Never been better!" I said cheerily. Edward laughed and hugged me tight. He took my face in his hands and kissed me like we've never kissed before. There was no holding back for either of us. I pressed myself into him, knotting my hands in his hair. Edward never pulled back.
A cracking noise behind us ended our kiss. Our heads snapped up and Edward was instantly on his feet. The person in the woods stepped out from behind a tree; he was tall and extremely muscular. Like Edward, he was ridiculously good looking.
"Emmet!" Edward and I both exclaimed at the same time.
"Hey guys, I heard what happened and went to see if you're ok". Emmet said, I grinned up at him. He had always been friendly towards me. "Well, you two look like you're doing ok so I'll just go and tell everyone the good news". Then he was off, running through the woods. I stood up, feeling wobbly on my legs from lying down for three days.
"We should talk to Carlisle about getting that thing off", Edward said gesturing towards my cast. I grinned, in my joy of being out of pain; I had completely forgotten the cast
"Are you sure my leg isn't still broken?" I said doubtfully.
"That's why we'll be talking to Carlisle", Edward said laughing excessively loud, "If I knew for sure that your leg isn't broken, I would've just taken the cast off myself". I rolled my eyes, Edward was always showing off.
"Oh right", I said sarcastically, "you're super-strength right" As I said that something dawned on me, "Wait a second, won't I have super-strength now too? And be really really fast? And all the other things that you have that I didn't" Edward nodded, a slow grin spread across my face, "Awesome!" Edward laughed even harder than before.
"Before you try anything out though", he said seriously, "We should see if your leg is healed". I hoped it was. The short amount of time I had spent in the cast seemed too long. "Come on" he said picking me up, "let's go see Carlisle" and before I had a chance to brace myself, Edward was running through the woods.
I was about to close my eyes when I noticed something seemed wrong; Edward wasn't going fast! Or at least, it didn't seem like it. I looked at Edward curiously and he just laughed. He knew what I was feeling. The trip to the house seemed to take longer than normal. He set me down and together, we hobbled into the house.
"Esme! Carlisle!" Edward yelled, "We're home!" Esme came down the stairs first. She took one look at me and gave me a hug. Carlisle came down next. His eyes narrowed at the sight of me being a vampire, but he didn't say anything. Edward shifted awkwardly. Things were still tense between them.
"We need you to see if Bella's leg is healed" Edward mumbled. Carlisle nodded and led me up to his office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renee sat behind the wheel of Charlie's car. If that idiot wasn't going to take some action to get their daughter back, then she would. Armed with directions to Edward's house and a can of mace, she sped off down the highway at record breaking speed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward and Esme sat in the parlor catching up on the past few days events as they waited for Carlisle's diagnosis. They were both startled at the sound of a car screeching into the driveway.
BANG! BANG! "Edward!" Renee's voice came screeching from behind the door, "I know you're in there! OPEN UP!" Edward paused for a second then slowly opened the door.
"Hi Renee" Edward said quietly.
"Don't 'Hi Renee' me!" Bella's mom yelled whipping out her can of mace, "Now WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!"
"Please", Edward said backing away from the crazed mother, "I'm upset about this too. I really don't know where Bella is". Renee sprayed the mace at Edward, who managed to block most of the pepper spray; the rest went in his eyes. He recoiled, yelling in pain.
"WRONG ANSWER!" Renee screeched, "NOW I'M GOING TO ASK AGAIN, WHERE THE HELL IS BELLA?" Edward scrubbed furiously at his burning eyes this time not answering. Renee chucked the now empty can at his head. Esme, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, caught the can before it managed to strike Edward on the head.
"Renee", Esme said in a calm voice, "I can understand why you're upset. But you must believe me. Edward has nothing to do with Bella's disappearance. Please just calm down, have a seat and we will discuss what happened that night". Renee relaxed visibly and allowed herself to be seated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, Bella", Carlisle said after a quick, but thorough examinations, "It looks like your leg is healed so we can remove that cast" I was about to thank him when I heard some yelling coming from below. I instantly recognized one of the voices
"That's my mom!" I exclaimed jumping up and falling back down because of the cast, "She's here!" I wanted so badly to run down stairs and tell her everything but Carlisle grabbed my arm.
"Bella", He reasoned, "Your mom can't see you and you know very well why". I bit my lip and nodded. But I still tried to stand and run for the door. Carlisle stopped me. I tried to use my new strength, but Carlisle was stronger and managed to pin me to the couch.
"Please", I begged tears welling up in my eyes, "Let me see my mom". Carlisle just shook his head sympathetically. I broke down crying.
Ok so that's chapter 7! I'll get chapter 8 out much sooner if my computer lets me! Please review!
