Chapter 2 Waking Up

"Bella?" a familiar voice asked.

My eyes fluttered open. Edward stared at me worriedly. I looked around. I was lying on Edward's sofa.

"What happened and how did I get here?" I asked.

"You passed out. Carlisle told me what happened to Charl—"he said

"Charlie! I forgot about him. Is he okay?" I asked interrupting him.

"Yes, Charlie's okay for now. If you would let me finish," he looked over at me accusingly." I drove over to your house as soon as I heard what happened to Charlie. I found you lying on the floor. It was just like in Phoenix. I hoped I wasn't too late," he chuckled, humorless." You scared me for a sec. I drove you over to my house and carried you up to my room. And here we are now."

"Carlisle is over at the hospital. Since you're awake now, I'd like to discuss some things with you," he continued, his voice grim. "I have a fairly good guess who injured Charlie."

Before I could ask, "Who?" Edward said," Either the new Seattle vampire or Victoria."

Victoria? Why? She has nothing to do with Charlie. I'M the one she's looking for not Charlie. UNLESS, she thought I was with Charlie and attacked him hoping to find out where I was. Charlie was hurt, severely because of ME. This wouldn't of happened if... I HAD to be a vampire soon before anyone else is hurt.

" What are you thinking about. I bothers me too much that I can't hear your thoughts" Edward interrupted me in the middle of my thoughts.

" Nothing in particular." I lied. If he knew what I was really thinking about, then he would probably get mad. That I shouldn't be worrying about him and that he could take care of himself.


The Seattle Vampire is a new, fresh vampire. It killed many people in Seattle.

Sorry for another short chapter. My ideas come in bursts. Please review! More to come and HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!
