BPOV:

I slip into darkness and all I see are the eyes of my Angel. All I feel is the wind as it softly caresses my skin… "Am I floating?" "Why do I feel like I'm flying?"…then I feel and sense nothing my mind is blank again…When I finally come to, I'm in a strange apartment suddenly I see T and she rushes towards me. "What happened?" I asked "You were attacked" she replies "Don't you remember anything?" I stay silent as I try and remember…all I see are the golden eyes of an angel. "No." I reply

"Well you're lucky that guy walked by when he did otherwise who knows what would've happened to you." Sighing I ask T where is my mom, she replies "working" "Figures, so what, am I staying here with you tonight or what?" T looks at me with a smirk and slowly replies "actually…" "Charlie's coming to get you; you're going to live with him from now on." Staring dumbfounded at Tanya "Really?" giggling she says "Yea!"

"Wow" is all I can say, for as long as I can remember Renee has never wanted me to go and live with Charlie even after he told her he wouldn't ask her for child. They had gone before judges' before but because Charlie was on call 24/7 they always denied him and he didn't have proof of Renee's little activities he didn't know what else to do he just let it go because he taught me how to take care of myself and her. Also I knew how to call 9-1-1 so that's always a plus (sarcasm).

I look around T's place and see my things packed already and I can't help , but feel like doing a little jig no more sleazy bars, no more dealing with strange men in my house, or having to wonder if I'm going to find Renee finally O.D'ing in the bathroom. Needless, to say I'm happy! I started feeling tired again and closed my eyes to rest when I hear someone calling my name, but I'm so tired I can't bring myself to open my eyes.

When I finally wake up I realize I'm in a moving vehicle frantic I look around only to find Charlie staring at me "Hey kiddo sorry, I tried waking you, but you were so tired I just carried you to the truck. I hope that's ok?" he asks shyly as he looks away towards the road "Yea, dad, that's fine" I reply smiling he keeps his eyes on the road "ok, Bells 'cause I've missed you" "me too, dad." We sit in comfortable silence all the way to Forks. I notice we're in his police cruiser which makes me feel secure. We're off to my new home and everything finally feels right.

Bella fell asleep again, which I was glad for after what she's been through I'm happy she's getting rest. I could not believe it when Renee called me and told me what happened I wanted to rip her goddamn head off, but lucky for her my baby girl didn't get that hurt, so all I could do was be glad that she's still in on piece and still innocent. I remember all the court hearings and missed court dates on my part due to the fact that I had to work a lot.

Ultimately that's what curved the judges' decision on who Bella should stay with, I was devastated and so I threw myself into my work even more which I regret now. At least my baby had what she needed and I was secure in the fact that I knew Renee wasn't drinking it or snorting it.

As soon as Bella was old enough I taught her how to use her bank account and how to check it every once in a while to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. I taught her to be self-sufficient as best as I could being a long distance dad is hard, but I'm gonna fix that now that I have her back even if it's only for two more years. I wake Bells up as we pull up to the driveway I'm nervous and hope that Bella likes her room.

BPOV:

I'm awakened by Charlie calling my name "Hey Bells it's time to get up, were home kiddo" groggily I open my eyes and smile at the house I remember from many years ago, before Renee decided she needed to spread her wings.

Charlie grabs my bags from the back of the cruiser and heads inside. "Hey Bells I setup your old room. I hope that's ok? I just replaced the bed; everything else is just as you left it." He says sheepishly, "Yea, dad that's fine" I smile. I head upstairs to put up my bags and look around the cozy room. It has a small old model computer in the far left corner by the window. The closet is in the corner across from the desk, the window is in the center of the room overlooking the front yard. And I also have my own bathroom which is a plus.

Looking at the clock on my nightstand I see its 5am, grabbing my clothes and head to the bathroom to dress for bed. Charlie knocks on my bedroom door "Hey kiddo, sorry I know you just got in, but I gotta head off to work. Are you gonna be ok alone?" I groan internally "Yea, dad that's ok, I'll be fine I'm just gonna go to bed anyway so I can be rested for school." "You can stay home tomorrow Bells there's no rush to get to school." I smile internally at his protectiveness it's nice to know someone cares.

"Charlie get to work I'll be fine, I've been getting to school by myself for awhile." I giggle "I'm sure it's still the same procedure." I hear him sigh and then chuckle "I just worry Bells, I am a cop after all." "I know dad, I love you I'll be fine" "Ok, kiddo Love ya" I hear him say as he's walking away. He's never really been openly affectionate, but he has his ways of letting you know he cares.

As I head over to my bed I hear a soft knock I know it's Charlie "Yea dad come in" "Hey kiddo I've been meaning to ask you, how you would feel about taking self-defense classes? Just so you can know that if ever you needed to you know you can defend yourself…Of course I'm always gonna try and be around, but just in case…"

I smile at his thoughtfulness "That would be awesome dad, thanks" I hug him and he just chuckles and tells me he's off to work, but not before giving me a cell phone and letting me know his number is already programmed into it.

I say goodbye to Charlie and head to bed for 2 hours to sleep. As I drift off, I begin dreaming… "I'm walking down a long dirt road when suddenly a snake appears, but this snake can talk "Hey little girl you lookin' for your daddy?" "No jus headin home" "Aww come on sweet thang, let me be your daddy" suddenly he lunges at me and has me by the throat. I'm struggling to scream when out of nowhere I see a cowboy with honey blonde hair and eyes to match and he wrangles that snake up. He jumps from his horse and heads towards me, but I can't see his face because the sun is right in my eyes "Hey Little Darlin, you a'right?"I'm about to answer this angel before me when I hear a loud bleeping in my head…

2 hrs later…

I'm woken up by my alarm and I drag myself out of bed and to a quick shower.I try and remember my dream, but all I can remember is honey blonde and a southern accent saying "Darlin". I grab my Nirvana shirt a pair of my favorite worn jeans and my black chucks. I head down stairs and see a note by the table as I head to make breakfast, which consist of Capt. Crunch and milk.

"Hey Bells, I left you my trusty old truck from my hay days, the keys are by the door had some new tires put on it for you. And if you want it, it's yours. Dad"

Smiling I think just how much better my life is gonna be from now on. Looking at the time I realize I'm about to be late, so I rush through my cereal and grab my bag and keys. I'm off to another first day at school, but now it feels like this it. No more moving around to shady apartments, no more shady, creepy guys leering at me. I feel like I'm finally gonna be happy here.

Heading outside I see the old time worn Chevy and I smile because this is the car for me, it has character and I love it. I'll have to make Charlie a "thank you" dinner tonight because according to Renee cooking is not Charlie's strong suit. I hop in the truck and head off.

Arriving at the front of the school I'm shocked, I expected the typical huge High school building, but instead in front of me is a building probably half the size of your average high school. That's fine by me less places to get lost; I can't begin to remember how many times I got lost in your average high school.

Taking in a deep breath I decide it's time I pull up my big girl panties and just get this over with, I head to the office and give them my name, they give me my schedule and I'm off. First class is homeroom, I head into Mr. Molina's class he's also my Biology teacher which means I can just stay in my seat for next period.

Walking in I feel all eyes on me, but the ones I notice are those of a guy who looks like he should be on the cover of a magazine. He has reddish brown sex-hair and eyes that look almost golden. He also looks like he's in pain or about to throw up. I shrug it off and head towards the teacher then head to the back of the class.

As Mr. Molina starts talking I slip back into my dream and wonder what that whole snake talking thing was about and who that southern boy was when suddenly I hear the bell ring. I'm stunned back to reality only to find the emo pained guy staring at me. I stay sitting down and then I hear a muttered "just go" I look around only to find that Edward the only person left in class is coming towards me and for some reason he looks surprised to find me looking at him.

I shift uncomfortably in my seat and he sits in the empty desk next to me "Hi, I'm Edward" "Hey I'm Bella" I reply. "So did you just move here?" he asks "yea, why?" "Well this is a small school plus you have kind of like the deer caught in the headlights look to you" he chuckles and it sounds like wind chimes.

Curiously I glance at him and notice how golden his eyes actually are and I'm suddenly taken to what seems like a dream or memory of a southerner with golden eyes, and wonder if maybe my dream was some sort of fore-telling of the future because here before me is a golden eyed god minus the southern accent speaking to me.

Smiling I reply "yea, guess that would be noticeable" He chuckles and instantly I feel what I can only describe as lust or desire or something I don't know, but I'm drawn to him in some way. "Hey if you would like my sisters and I can show you around town, my father is Dr. Carlisle Cullen" I smile and can't help, but think how much his tone sounds like someone from the Middle Ages.

"Yea that would be nice, I just need to ask Charlie" "Charlie?" he replies, "Yea my dad..." he looks confused at first then replies "Charles Swan?" "Yes…Do you know him? I know you said it's a small town…" he chuckles "Yea, we all know Chief Swan" "Oh" is all I can say because I knew it was a small town I just didn't know it was that small.

"Ok well I'll let Charles know you and your sisters want to take me out" I giggle, He smirks and replies "Yea, I'm sure he won't have a problem with that" a little dumbfounded I reply "What does that mean?" "It's just that the Cullen kids are known for being very responsible around these parts" "ok, well it's good to know because I know Charlie wouldn't settle for anything less" he just smirks like he knows something I don't.

After Biology on my way to lunch I'm walking through the underpass that's outside I pull my sleeves up and notice the slightest glimmer on my forearm. I wonder why my scar is glimmering, but shrug it off as nothing more than just the inclement weather of Forks.

In the cafeteria I'm standing in line to get my lunch. As I'm grabbing my lunch this skinny girl with glasses walks up to me and introduces herself as Angela Webber. She asks me to sit with her and her friends and I do. While I'm there she introduces her friends Jessica, Mike, Eric and Lauren.

As soon as I'm introduced Jessica starts telling about the who's who of Forks High as well as the Cullen's and she almost seems like a woman scorned. Which is funny to me "The table over there behind you are Dr. Cullen's kids there all adopted and there also all together. The big burly guy with the curly hair is Emmett he's with the blonde beauty who looks like she just stepped off of Vogue Magazine and she's also a major bitch. The blonde guy Jasper who looks like he's in pain is with the pixie looking girl with dark spikey hair. And the guy with the reddish brown sex hair is Edward and he isn't with anyone because apparently no one here is good enough for him"

I laugh and look at Jessica and can't help, but feel her insecurities come through. And as I glance back at the Cullen table I can't help, but wonder or feel like they know what we're talking about and it's a bit unnerving.

As I'm looking at the Cullen's I can't help wonder why it is that all of a sudden it seems that I can feel people's emotions and other weird things…
