"What now?

A/N: Ok I'm back sorry for the delay RL can be such a drag heehee:-P On with the show!

CPOV:

It's been a long day at work all these weird calls coming in about giant wolves I don't know what these kids are smoking, but they need to chillax...that's a "new and hip" word the kids are saying now right? Aaand I'm talking to myself again..."AAHH!" That's coming from Bells room rushing up there I burst into her room only to see her asleep. I softly call her name so as not to rouse her too suddenly and I get nothing figures she always was a heavy sleeper "Bella, Bella!"...BELLA! She jumps up and wouldn't you know just some typical girl stuff, I head down and order that pizza also gotta remember to pick something up nice for Bells birthday it's this Saturday and seeing as it's Wednesday I better get a move on, this is one of those times that I'm glad she doesn't have preference, but I know my Bells likes antique looking things can't imagine why for the life of me...I digress...let's get that pizza here.

While I place the order I can help, but think to myself how good it's been having Bell's around, but I got the strangest call from her coach earlier today something about her having been in an altercation with that Newton boy Mike never did care much for him with those beady eyes, I smirk at my own thoughts. At least I know she's safe and can handle herself out here, only dangerous thing here is the wildlife 'cause all these school boys know she's "Charlie or CHIEF Swans" daughter I made damn sure of that…

I look at the stairs contemplating whether to climb then or not…I choose not I'm damn tired chasing "giant wolves" in these darn woods ha! Some people, "Bell's pizza here…Come and geeett iitt!" I chuckle at my own joke…It's a good thing I have a good sense of humor otherwise I'd…well…I'd suck "I made another funny!" I laugh just as Bella rounds the corner "Are you laughing at your own jokes again, old man? And talking to yourself I see" she smirks "Watch it kiddo, you should see all the hot mamas that want this old man" I wink

"Eww, Charlie…really you went there? I was only joking…gosh dad way to scar your ONLY daughter for life! Notice my emphasis on only so…yea" she says trying to keep her poker face on, but I can see that smirk trying to sneak up on her, "Oh my deepest apologies Princess Isabella I meant no impertinence" I say as I bow and slowly back away she burst out into a fit of giggles and I know it's because I used to call her Princess Isabella when she was three and every time she thought I said something wrong she'd scowl at me and say "Not wight, Chawlie" and pout her little bottom lip…lost in memories…I smile

"Earth to Swan, Come in Swan…" I here Bella giggle, shaking my head I smile and imitate radio static "Read you loud and clear Command Center…Over" grabbing our pizza finally after all the goofing off and still laughing over our moment in days of our lives we sit down to watch the greatest goofs in sports history since I know she doesn't like sports-sports so something in the middle is good.

"So, how was school?" I ask as I take a bite out of my second slice…I wait for a response this outta be good Bella was never one for "The whole truth and nothing, but the truth" kinda girl I smirk and she is the reason I can always tell whether the motive behind what was done was to help someone or hurt someone. "Hmm?" she replies feigning like she hadn't heard me…"School? How was it? Anything INTERESTING happen?" emphasizing the word interesting…

Bella sits there with the "deer in the headlights" looks and shovels a whole bunch of pizza in her mouth and replies "Hmphf…you…Knowits…schfools…." She smiles innocently "Alright cut the crap Swan your Coach called me" I laugh she nearly chokes "Why you gotta be sweatin' me Chief" she smiles "There was a situation in gym…" she says I roll my eyes did they not get the memo about Bells and balls or running or…pretty much anything physical I laugh chucking a piece of pizza crust she says "I know! Anyway I handled it…I am a Swan after all AND the Chiefs daughter I got this pops" and she…winks at me definitely a Swan I smile "That's daddy's Princess" I smile "Unless you started it?" I say in my Chief mode as Bella so aptly refers to it scowling she retorts "In all my 17 years of life…" I interject "16 years" she pauses with her scowl still in place and slowly starts "Ok…16 years! Have you ever known me to start it as you so swimmingly put it" bashfully I smile and give my I'm sorry face "I know Bell's it's my job to make sure people are safe and not causing problems, you know this baby girl…forgive me?" feigning irritability she suddenly gets up and stands in front of me with her hand on her hip and bends down and give me a kiss on the forehead then stands up and smiles.

"Don't I always, Chief?" and winks "Gonna head up and do some homework since you already all the gory details I don't want to have to repeat again them again then gonna hit the hay, "Night Dad" "Goodnight, Bells…oh and by the way I'm still miffed you gotta stay home 3 days from school bet you got them with your little puppy dog eyes didn't you?" feigning innocence she puts her hand to mouth and retorts "Oh no daddy I'd never do that?"

I bust out laughing "Get your butt to that room and study girl. I know you all too well with your oh no daddy, you laid it on too thick I might have believed you…" giggling all the way upstairs I hear her holler that was the point "Chief!"

BPOV:

Still laughing from my interaction with Charlie I sit at my computer and just bs you know the usual check my Facebook for any new drama check my email get and look at my junk email you know they sometimes have some pretty interesting things in there, but mostly singles websites I giggle to myself at my own lame inner monologue.

An article in my junk email catches my attention "How to tell if you've been visited by the Supernatural"*

"Eh, why not I'm bored and there is nothing new on Facebook, plus I love good fiction" I think to myself skimming over the article I spot a few things "yada, yada, yada UFO's yada, yada Angels & Demons, oh werewolves ok some ancient stories actually pretty interesting something Quiell…I don't know, but happened here supposedly sweet and I thought this place didn't have character" I smile at my inner workings "Ok shape shifters were the native people here in Forks had a treaty with "The Cold Ones" huh? Could this article get any more confusing…"

"Oh here's a hyperlink to another article about THE COLD ONES. Yada, yada ok so they're Vampires hmm…really interesting…ok "cold to the touch, have red eyes and some have been know to have golden eyes" hmm like my angel…I mean Jasper the a-hole I'm still mad obviously…anyway "they don't age and drink either the blood of people hence the red eye color or the blood of animals hence the golden eye color. They are really strong and really fast and can turn people by biting them and transferring their venom into the intendants blood stream can be VERY painful and their skin shines like diamonds in the sun. If you suspect that Vampires live in your area give us a call at (555)666-VAMP and for a small fee of $200 my team and I will gladly pay a visit and confirm what you suspect"

"What are they serious?! People actually pay for this? Testimonials really "Mrs Meyers really helped she confirmed that I did not in fact have a vampire living next door which is a relief because now I can let my 5 children outside to play without fear of them being drained of their blood or becoming bloodsuckers themselves!" OMG!" I busted out laughing rolling laughing tears streaming down my face laughing fell outta my seat ON THE FLOOR laughing "Now what are your 5 kids gonna eat you gave away $200 to tell you NO! You don't have a Vampire living next door!" I hear a throat clear behind me and turn slowly only to see Charlie standing there looking kinda scared and he slowly replies "You feelin' alright Bell's I heard you scream…again…and I come in to find you here on the floor talking about giving a vampire $200…You sure you didn't hit your head in that scuffle at school?"

Trying to keep a straight face, but pretty sure I'm failing since it looks like Charlie is having a hard time not laughing at me also and I reply "Uh yea dad just reading some good sci-fi comedy…its gut busting!" I laugh again and immediately stop "Oh and dad not I didn't hurt myself…can't say the same for Mike though." I smirk "Alright well, get back to work then" he chuckles and closes the door.

"Crazy girl" I hear him chuckle in the living room and that reminds me of all my heightened senses "Ok well I'll look that up AFTER I finish my sci-fi comedy here…Let's see ok testimonials…huh only one. Vampires must be hard to come by" I giggle quieter this time and continue my inner workings of this ludicrous, albeit entertaining article.

"Now a word from Mrs Meyers"…this outta be good "Hello and thank you for your interest in the Supernatural; however it is that you came to our article...we thank you. Now onto the lesson at hand recognizing a Vampire aside from the tips provided earlier in the article Vampires also have heightened senses they can hear better, see better and even have a better sense of smell than us. They also have a sweetness in the way that they smell, but most importantly their eyes turn black as coal when they need to feed or their "hunger" is taking over them so be warned this is not childs play. These Vampires are at their most lethal when they need to feed."

Now she has my attention this all sounds vaguely familiar, I should see what else she has to say "Now onto our next subject How to recognize if you've become a Cold One" wow I don't know if I should keep reading she's weirding me out a bit "Have you noticed and increase in strength?" Yes…"Have you noticed that now you can hear things you shouldn't be able to hear?" Yes! I'm intrigued now…"Have you become more graceful and less prone to accidents? Is your name ISABELLA SWAN? We're coming for you Ms. Swan!" Falling back out of my seat I scream for the third time tonight "What's wrong Bella!" I hear Charlie say "The…the…the article it has my name it! It said they're coming for me! I pant out.

Charlie checks the screen "Bell's there nothing here about your name just some random, weird stuff about Vampires…Have you noticed any extra abilities that you never had such as mind reading, foreseeing the future or being able to influence the emotions of people around? Bla-bla blaaa!?" Charlie says in his best Dracula voice which isn't that good, but still makes me laugh "Now stop reading that junk it'll give you nightmares I've had enough screaming for one night and get to bed, love ya kiddo" he kisses my cheek and he's out the door before turning my computer off. "Love ya, daddy" I say before yawning "wow didn't realize how sleep I was before…" and then sleep takes me…

Bella Dreamland:

I'm walking in the woods behind my house towards the clearing there's a field of wildflowers that smell of lavender, spice and sandalwood…I think in the center of the field there's a big oak tree, looks centuries old I walk to the tree and there's a picnic set up I look around and see no one so I help myself "Hungry ain't ya little darlin'?"frightened I turn only to see Jasper…only he's not the Jasper I know he's wearing a cowboy hat a white button up shirt some worn jeans and very sexy scuffed up cowboy boots and sparkling blue eyes the bluest I'd ever seen.

If you could picture your most perfect tropical island with the bluest water his eyes would still be bluer than that, "Oh I'm sorry, is this yours? I didn't mean to ya know…" I reply shyly and look down as a play with the ground and I notice I have no shoes on well how lovely…grabbing my chin he lifts my face to meet his "Now darlin' you know this here picnic is for us, dontcha remember I told you down by the river I had a surprise for my special lady…well SURPRISE…I know it ain't much, but well I do enjoy my time alone with you away from the farm and seein' as I'll be heading out to the war soon this is all could rustle up on such short notice…" I notice he's looking flustered and he's actually blushing.

It makes my heart melt "Well Mr Whitlock ever the gentleman, this is very lovely, but I was only joking I knew all along it was you that set this up I just enjoying seeing you get discombobulated after all a big strong cowboy such as yourself rarely let's his guard down, now does he?" I throw in a wink for good measure I have no idea where these words or thoughts are coming from it feels like me, but not maybe another time me or dream me look at me I don't even make sense now!

Before I can over analyze the situation he pulls me into a hug and reverently kisses me "I am gonna miss these times we have alone Miss Bella, here I got you something. I don't know when or if I'll be back, but I know that I'll never forget you and my soul will always search for you, you are my light in the dark my own personal beacon home" with that he pulls out a silver necklace with a tiny lighthouse and a pretty good sized rock where the beacon light would be.

I gasp "Oh my Jasper this must have cost you a fortune, no I can't accept this it's too much…" "Darlin' it hurts me to say, but I know I ain't coming back so I sold everything I had horses, house, farm and all my animals to get this necklace and also bought you your own house and there's plenty over for you live off for awhile…You are my beacon home no matter where I am or where life takes you know that you were it for me my everything…I love you…" "To the moon and back…" I reply automatically "How did I even know to say that?" I think to myself.

"Don't go Jazz let's runaway together we can be happy" I plead sadden by his profession of love for me and the overwhelming love I feel coursing through me "Now darlin' we discussed this already I want to go and fight and protect those I love and hold dear" he says staring intensely into my eyes.

Suddenly he's dressed to the nines in his uniform and I can see his rank as Major Whitlock "Are you finally home for good?" I ask "Almost just got one last mission in Galveston then I'm all yours Miss Bella we can have all the babies you want" he winks "All the babies I want need I remind you that you wanted 5-6 kids and I agreed to only 2 maybe 3 shall I take back my consideration" I say mockingly. The shock and horror I see on his face are enough to make me want to cry so I cave "I'm kidding Whitlock…I mean Major Whitlock" I say seductively and wink "Well now Miss Bella you are a cruel woman to tease the Major like that had I not needed to head out I would have given you a taste of what the Major can do" he tips his hat a strides off in his steed.

"Jasper! JASPER!" I'm suddenly screaming standing in our same field under our tree with the same picnic only the foods all rotten and there's blood everywhere, everything is dead the field, the tree…my love all feel is the painful, burning hole in my heart…I feel dead, I'm cold and all alone…where is Jasper? Where is my Major?

I lay under our tree…dead tree…crying and holding myself "I'll find you, I'll find you, I'll find you…Jasper…Jasper..Jasper…." everything is suddenly black, but I'm not afraid infact I'm the opposite of afraid I'm overjoyed, excited, hysterical, passionate I'm all of the above…in this, my darkness and all I feel is peace and love and him…Jasper.

End Dream:

I'm startled out of my sleep by my own moans of sorrow then by my sudden burst of love looking for my clock I see it's only 1:45 am and I see subtle movement in the corner of my room there sits an old recliner I turn to my right to turn on my bedside lamp and there's nothing there only an open window with the curtains blown from the breeze "Chillax Bella, dang stop reading every creepy article that comes across your email" I scold myself.

I get up to close the window when a tiny sparkle catches my attention. Closing the window I never take my eyes off it, I don't want it to "disappear" I slowly make my way over to the recliner and there sitting on the cushion as if it's always been there waiting…I stare and tears start slowly flowing I fall to my knees because I don't know what else to do…Could it be? Why? How? Are the only things going through my mind right now as look at this…tiny silver lighthouse diamond necklace…
