I only play with the characters I own nothing.
She woke to some one tugging on her back. She groaned and tried to curl up she just wanted to sleep. "Isabella please lay still I am almost done." She knew that voice. Who was that? Her mind would not focus as darkness once again engulfed her. "Isabella." That was Ty she knew. Slowly painfully she opened her eyes. "Hey there Cherry bug." He said smiling down at her. "Daddy." Her throat burned as she croaked out that one word. Tyson looked down. Tears filled and over flowed her eyes as she curled up facing the wall her sobs tearing them both apart. The sun was shining on her face as she woke again. She hurt everywhere, turning over she saw Tyson sleeping in the chair. She sat up slowly and after the initial pain carefully. Moving to the bathroom she winced seeing her face in the mirror. It was not harmed but the dark circles showed her anguish. She moved back in the room after washing her hands. "You alright bug?" She nodded and sat slowly. "The windows exploded you have several cuts where the glass embedded itself in your back and one in your leg. Doctor Mattus took care of it." She nodded that was the voice. "Daddy." She croaked partly because her throat burned. Ty hung his head. "He knew it was coming we had discussed it on the way home from the hospital. I had my orders and he made me promise no matter what." Tears fell again as she wrapped her arms around her legs. "Now what?" "You will go live with your uncle Charlie no one knows about him he was your mothers brother. We will get the man that set this up and you will be safe again." He smiled at her. "You will be safe Cherry bug." He said sitting next to her as he wrapped is arms around her letting her cry.
Three days later he drove her through the tree covered streets to Charlie's house. Forks Washington was so different than Florida, here nothing shone nothing was sunny clouds covered what sky filtered through and green covered everything. "You will be Isabella Swan." Ty repeated for the umpteenth time. "Bella." She correct automatically never really liking her name. "I will never fit in here." She whispered as people and places passed her window. "You will." His voice was firm. "Yes all the fifteen year olds are juniors here and have several piercing and tattoos." Her voice was thick with sarcasm. "As well as fifteen hundred dollars in underwear and several four hundred dollar pairs of shoes." His was just as thick. "See you agree lets go." She tried to be bright but failed. "Bella." He said softly. She sighed. "I hate that name too." "Cherry bug. Please stay with him let me figure this out. I need to prove he was the target and now it is over and they will not come for you. I need to keep you safe." "But you will not even be here." She snapped as a tear fell. He stopped on the side of the road as a silver car passed the occupants watching them. "Bug. Please I promised your father. I have to do this for him for you. If they were out to take all of you down…" He sighed. "I know I do not want you to go." Tears fell freely as she hugged him. "I'm scared." She whispered as he held her. "Me to bug, me to." He composed himself as this time a jeep past and then slowed before some one could get out he started the car.
Charlie was a quiet man with a calm un ruff able exterior. He smiled as Ty helped Bella from the car. "Good to meet you." He stopped and swallowed hard. "I know I look like her." She whispered. He nodded looking any where but at her. "Lets get you settled." He led them in and up the stairs to a small bed room. "Not much but it is per Phil's orders clean and safe." He said to Tyson who nodded. "I have ordered a computer here is a phone, you have everything else?" He asked as Charlie left the room. She nodded. "Need help unpacking?" She shook her head. She looked at her shoes. "Four hundred dollars hun?" Ty looked down and nodded. "They were specially ordered and jeweled for you." She sniffled. "He loved me more than I deserved." She said as a tear fell. "No he loved you as much as he could." They went over what he was going to do and how to contact him before going down stairs again. " I do not have much for supper but I can order…." Charlie trailed off. "No thank you." Bella and Ty said together. "I arranged a meeting for us tomorrow at nine at the school and then we can get your supplies Phil sent me your school records." Bella nodded. "Why do you not go lay down I need to talk to Charlie we need to locate a doctor for ya." Tyson said kissing her head. Pain flooded her again as she nodded she did not want to be alone with her thoughts but went any way. She had fallen to sleep when they had finished going over details and information. Charlie was a smart man, he would keep Bella safe. "Night Cherry bug." He said kissing her head leaving before he did something stupid and stayed or took her with him.
"Bella. Time to get up." Charlie called through the door as he knocked again. Bella groaned and wincing got up she was eyeing the coffee pot as she entered. "You drink coffee?" He asked surprised. She shook her head. "No tea but I doubt they even sell the kind I drink here." She said softly nothing but pain in her voice. "Sorry. We can go to the store after we get you registered." She nodded once pulling some juice out. Together they watched the students file past waiting for a break so she could move to the office. A gorgeous blond looked at her and stopped at her shoes she blinked back up relooking at Bella. She blinked twice as the short pixie looking girl snagged her arm dragging her along. When they left she was not happy but registered and by the time they had gotten groceries with her vowing to never let Charlie cook she was limping and her back was on fire. "Lets get you home you can set the kitchen up tomorrow how you want it I will put the cold stuff away. We can order pizza." She nodded as a tear fell and her back throbbed but when he called her for pizza she was sleeping.
Bella finished cooking the eggs as Charlie walked in. "Smells great." Bella smiled she missed Maria she let her cook with her when ever Bella wanted. She sniffed and taking her juice moved to dress. "Not eating?" Charlie called. "No thanks." Bella called entering the bathroom. Forty minutes later she tossed her hair over her shoulder and hugged her notebook to herself as she took a breath and entered the class room. The teacher looked up. "Aaahhh Miss Swan." Bella resisted the urge to look behind her. "Sir." She said taking a step back as he stood. She had a very limited experience with men her last school having been run by nuns. "Can she sit by me." The blond from yesterday asked looping an arm around Bella shoulders. "Fine but stay on task ladies." The blond nodded. "Rosalie Hale." She said dropping into her chair. "Bella Swan." Bella said slowly lowering herself. "Ok how is it possible that you have half of your self put together and can still dress like shit." Bella blinked. "Honey do you have a clue how much those shoes cost?" Bella nodded slowly. "Do you?" Rose smiled. "Like a hundred and fifty and I have a feeling that thing in your nose is real too no crystal there." Bella blinked and nodded almost relived she did not know about the rubies and diamonds on her shoes. "But those jeans?" Rose said after a minute. Bella sighed. "Uniforms." Rose looked over shock on her face. "St. Michael's." Bella said crossing herself. Rose giggled. "So you are not fashion challenged just limited." Bella nodded, but really she wore was she liked. "We will take you shopping." Rose said with finality as she stood the bell ringing.
Together they moved to her next class. Rose smiled as she stopped. "You will have this class with my foster brother slash boy friend Emmett but Jasper my twin brother gave him and my other foster brother Edward the flu." Bella took a second to process and finally looked at Rose. "Wow that is a lot of brothers." She smiled. "And this…" She wrapped her arms around the short pixie girl. "is my sister Alice." The girl smiled. "Bella?" Bella nodded. "You are all the talk today." Alice said hugging her. The bell ran and the girls headed off. "See you at lunch." Alice called at her. Bella moved through her classes having a disagreement with her third period teacher finally sighing as she sat with lemonade for lunch. "Long day?" Alice asked sitting with a very handsome blond. "Jasper Hale, Rose said you met this morning." "Bella." Bella said pulling away just as quick she was not sure how to talk to men who were not guarding her. Jasper just smiled at her. "You alright Bella you look flushed." Alice asked as she sat. "I am fine just a disagreement with my teacher. Apparently there is no six year French or second year Japanese and the lady in the office lied." Bella said mixing a strawberry powder drink in her lemonade. She shook it and drank it slowly her back was beginning to throb she shifted. Moving out as the day ended she was wondering how to get home. "Bella come on." Rose called. "Thanks I do not think Charlie remembered me." She said softly. She made his supper and after eating with him moved to her room when he checked on her she was sleeping a slight sheen of sweet on her face he frowned what if she got sick he vowed to call Dr. Cullen in the morning. Both were awakened abruptly by Bella's screams late in the night he held her carefully as she cried.
Bella sighed she looked like shit and knew it with the nightmare she had not slept well. Moving to the door she was shocked to see a red car in the drive. "The rest took Edwards Volvo I thought I would give you a ride." Rose said as Bella climbed in the back. Alice beamed. "Rose said you were going shopping Friday we are going to Port Angeles." Bella just blinked at her confused. "Oh Bella this town is too small to have good clothing." Bella smiled watching Alice she was like a hyper two year old. They moved to class. There second hour Rose moved to a hugely muscled man Bella wanted to pull her back he would hurt her. The face lit as he wrapped his arms around her moving in for a kiss. "Bella this is Emmett." Rose said slightly breathless. "Li…Bella Swan." Bella said stumbling slightly. Emmett chuckled. "Rose you were right she is cute." He said nuzzling Rose's neck Bella flushed to her toes. "Come on little one, bye Rosie." He said as he took her arm dragging Bella into the class room. Edward was in her third period class but as she had not noticed him he just watched her interaction with the teacher Bella's French was better he thought as they argued a point. Bella huffed angrily as she sat stiffening as she sat pain washing over her. He wondered what had happened and why she was now panting. Bella did not move as the rest left the class so he did not get to see what was wrong.
She was sitting at the table with a lemonade again as they sat around her. Her cheeks were flushed. "Bella." Emmett moved to hug her as she made to move away he snagged her holding her for a minute she swayed and Edward barley caught her as she fell to the floor. He helped her up sifting his hand on her back brining it up he was shocked to see the red. "Bella." He said quietly. She blinked at him and flinched back. "I am Edward, Rose's brother are you hurt?" He shifted his hand to her line of sight. "You are bleeding." She blinked at his hand and he saw her eyes flutter. He was holding her awkwardly in his lap as he leaned her over so he could look at her back. Alice had her phone to call Charlie when it vibrated. "She has an appointment with dad at three. Lets take her now." She grabbed Bella's purse. "This is a Para you have to get on a list to get one of these." Alice was all but drooling. "Alice hospital now hand bag latter." Edward snapped as he carried her to the car.
"Ty make it stop." Bella was whimpering as Carlisle re stitched her back which was now infected. "Bella honey it will be over soon." Alice whispered as she ran a hand through Bella's hair. "First hand bags now La Perla we have got to talk." Edward, Jasper and Emmett were sitting in the lobby. "That did not look good." Emmett said softly. "I did not mean to hurt her I only wanted to hug her she is cute especially when she blushes the teacher called on her and she blushed to her finger tips as she stood and answered him and it was worse when he told her she did not have to stand as she answered." Edward thought back she was standing as she argued with there French teacher. He was right she was beautiful Edward looked to the door again. Bella blinked and Rose's face came into focus. "Rose." Her voice cracked. "Honey Emmett hurt you as he hugged you. You are at the hospital." Bella tensed she had never been at the hospital before. "Isabella. I am Carlisle Cullen. The girl's father and your new doctor we originally had an appointment at three. How did this happen? Who did this by the way?" Bella swallowed and cleared her throat. "Fire the windows blew in and Dr. Mattus." She whispered. Carlisle helped her sit up and her head spun a bit. "Who is Ty?" Alice asked her eyes sparkling but her voice sad. "My driver." Bella said looking at her shoes. Alice squealed and clapped her hands. Bella's phone went off. "Bella you have a nail appointment at ten on Saturday?" Alice said reading it. Bella nodded slightly distracted. "Those aren't yours?" Rose asked holding her hand up. Bella shook her head. "I have had my nails done since I was ten." Rose and Alice looked at each other they had money but Bella was obviously privileged. "I have to call Charlie." She said reaching for the phone he was not in so she left a message letting him know what happened. Carlisle held her hand as she slid off the table. "You alright?" He asked seeing her pale. "Yes thank you." Her face changed color twice just speaking to me he thought. "Why do you not come for supper I am sure Esme will be happy to finally meet you." Bella looked to Rose who nodded eagerly. Together they waked out. "Head home I will get Bella's medication and meet you there." They moved to the boys who had stood. "Thank you." She whispered looking at Edward. He just nodded God how could he not have seen how pretty she was? He took a step closer. "Can I drive you home?" Alice stepped closer. "She is coming home with us the chief had to work." Edward just smiled. Bella moved slowly from Edward's car her back pulling and burning. Together they moved into the house. " It is a pleasure to meet you." She said as Esme moved to her side. "Your home is exquisite." Esme smiled. "You must be Bella we have heard so much about you." She hugged her very carefully. "Come one Bella lets get you out of those clothes." Rose pulled her away as Edward frowned. "Come on Edward lust after her later." Emmett shouted as he put a game in his gaming system.
