Charlie got up slowly for a vampire. what the hell was he doing here surly Billy knew Charlie was here.
Jacob would have told him. Charlie looked at Jacob. his eye kept darting between Charlie and Billy.
now Charlie understood Jacob had counted on it. Charlie glared at Jacob.
then felt a warm hand reach for his. then his mind filled with a new scene
they were out the back of the house Nessie wondered what her father had to say to her.
there was no way she would go fishing with him. He'd almost killed the wolves.
her wolves her pack. then her father spoke up. "I know you angry at him sweetie.
but they did try to kill your mother. I'm not going to force you to go but. If you do you might.
be able to fix the rift between Billy and Charlie" he said
so what Billy was better off without him anyway. She'd tried to stop him but her father had held her back
it had been sheer dumb luck that he hadn't killed them. and she would never forgive him for it.
then her father spoke "Charlie knew what he was doing the whole time. he beat them.
and you must remember he is still a newborn. who's only just learnt about a big part of his life.
and finding out so one you knew. your best friend kept all this from you. and that his tribe had tried to kill you daughter.
well it was going to produce a positive outcome" he said
the last thing she wanted to do was feel bad for Charlie but she did. he loved her and her momma
she didn't like what he had done but given the situation. she could understand
She looked up at him "how do I fix this" she asked
"Billy will be at the Bogachiel River in a couple of days.
She let go of his hand. Charlie looked down at his granddaughter.
he was not happy. he didn't like being manipulated.
"go back and finish you lunch, Now!" he said sternly
She shook her little head. He could make her but he didn't want to do that.
so he turned away from her to see Billy who was just getting into his chair beside the car.
in an instant Charlie was right in front of him. Billy looked up an meet Charlie eyes.
he gulped. and his heart rate sped up. He looked over and saw Paul and Rachel they looked as envious as Billy
then Nessie was beside her grandfather "hey guys it good to see you" she said trying to defuse the tension
Charlie's mind was filled with thoughts that weren't his own there here to make amends.
I forgave you for nearly killing the wolves. remember" they were Nessie's thought
he looked at his granddaughter. his daughter's daughter who he loved who they'd tried to kill.
well not Billy he had spoken against killing Bella. and he had seen how much Nessie loved the wolves
they were part of her family. when Charlie had beaten them Edward had held her back by force to stop her from
trying to save them. she had cried the hole time. and they all had put their lives on the line for Nessie. when the Volturi had come.
Charlie looked at his best friend "don't ever keep anything from me again" he said
Billy to his credit didn't flinch "ok" he said Charlie held out his hand Billy shook it
