A/N: Okay, Next chapter. Here we go. Hopefully it's not too bad. I may revise it a bit at a later date and resubmit, but I'm not too sure... Let me know what you think.
A few days later Mikael was sitting in a hospital bed, preparing to leave. His arm, which was fractured in two places, and his broken ribs (he hadn't bothered to remember how many Dr. Cullen had said there were), and all the cuts and bruises, had healed enough for him to leave the hospital. He was once again waiting for Chief Swan to come and talk to him before he was released.
He still had no clue just were he was going to stay. The Chief had bounced around the idea of taking temporary custody of him. Which had been shot down after Bella, Chief Swan's daughter, had called and said that she would be moving in with him.
'I guess I showed up before the story actually started' he thought as he slipped on his shoes, leaving them untied because he really didn't want to bend down to tie them. The only thing that he had been able to keep after the accident. His clothes had been so battered that he wasn't even going to attempt to wear them now. Dr. Cullen had brought him some clothes, saying he was about the same size as one of his sons.
He turned to the door as Chief Swan announced his presence. "Good morning Chief. Have you figured out who I'm going to be dropped of on yet?" Charlie sighed, "There aren't many people who are comfortable taking in a teenager, as of now there are two places that we can put you. Out in La Push with a friend of mine and his son. Or I can go ahead and put you in the attic room in my house.[1]"
'He doesn't look that thrilled about having me live with him and his daughter. But isn't La Push that Indian Reservation? Guess he's talking about that guy that he bought the truck from. That's the only person from La Push that I recall reading about. At least I think that was the only one Chief Swan talked about.'
"I guess, which ever one you feel is best sir. I promise not to be a bother either way."
Mikael watched as the Chief ran a hand through his hair. "I'm not sure it'd be best to put you in La Push. Billy Black doesn't have that big of a house, and I'm not sure that the kids would be very welcoming to you going to school on the reservation."
Mikael shrugged, that probably meant he was going to be put in the Swans attic. 'Great. According to the story that Edward Cullen guy visits Bella in her room. That means I'm going to have to practice not thinking about what happens in the book.'
"I guess that means I'm staying in your attic then, sir?"
The Chief nodded and adopted a stern expression, "As long as you're under my roof you'll abide by my rule, understand?" Mikael nodded, "We'll go over them on the ride to the house. But," he paused, "You better be on your best behavior when Bella moves in you understand?"
Mikael nodded again, knowing just what was meant by that. "When it comes to your daughter, consider me asexual, sir. I'll think of her as if she were my sister,"
The Chief nodded and motioned for Mikael to follow him.
After Chief Swan finished the needed paperwork, they both made their way to the police cruiser and drove to Chief Swan's house.
~Time skip one week~
Charlie had just left to pick Bella up from the airport and Mikael sat reading in his temporary room. He would start school the following day with Bella. That would probably prove to be a whole new experience. Seeing as he went to a pretty big high school in Florida.
He spent the day reading and going through the clothes, that Dr. Cullen's son had been nice enough to give him. Even if they were a bit too expensive for his taste, it was all he had. He knew he had to start thinking of finding a job. He didn't want to be a freeloader. 'Maybe there's a auto shop around here. I'm pretty good with fixing cars.' he thought to himself.
He was interrupted from his musings as he heard a car pull up and two car doors close. It was time to meet Miss Bella Swan. He walked down the lowered attic stairs and made his way downstairs and to the door. As he opened the door he saw a girl that must have been Bella. She didn't look surprised when she saw him, Charlie must have told her that he was staying there.
"Hello, you must be Bella." Mikael said as he extended his hand to the brown haired girl, "I'm Mikael. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Bella shook his hand. "Same here."
She smiled softly and nodded as Mikael offered to help her move her stuff upstairs. It really did only take one trip. Mikael thought, 'if this was Eve we would have had to make at least three trips just for her books.'
Charlie followed closely behind, probably wondering if Mikael would stay true to his word to treat her as a sister. A few minutes later Charlie went back downstairs and Mikael and Bella heard the T.V. Come to life.
"Do you need any help unpacking?" Mikael asked as he moved to lean against the door frame. Bella said she didn't, Mikael nodded, "I'll be in the attic if you need anything." and left her to her unpacking.
He was mildly surprised when he heard her call his name. "Hey Mikael?" "Yes?" "Where exactly are you from?"
Mikael smiled, "I lived in a little town called, Chuluota. That's in Florida."
Bella smiled back, "So you're more used to the sun too, huh?"
"Kind of. Florida may be called the sunshine state, but we got quite a bit of rain. A lot less than here though."
With that Bella went back to packing and Mikael went back upstairs.
Well? What do think? Let me know.
[1] I'm not entirely sure if there is an attic in the Swan's house or not, but for this story there is one.
I also don't know or have the patience to find out just how temporary custody works in a situation like this, and since I also don't know nor do I want to find out if Forks has a orphanage or not, I'm just pretending that there isn't one. It wouldn't work to have my main OC put in an orphanage.
