Chapter Two

Mesmerizing

What had I done to deserve such a perfect life? With my curse of incredible bad luck how did I ever end up with the perfect husband, the perfect daughter, the perfect parents, and no matter how much it pains me to say it, even the perfect siblings. I contemplated this in my head as Edward and I silently drove to Charlie's house to pick up Reneesme. I slowed down as I rounded the final corner, no need to scare Charlie more than we already had. Thankfully, he still didn't know I was a vampire. According to Edward he was considering ghosts. Sometimes having a mind reader for a husband comes in handy.

As I pulled to a stop out front of the familiar house, Edward leaped out and opened the door for me. It was completely unnecessary, but he was such a gentleman that he couldn't resist. He took me into his arms and we stared into each others eyes for a few seconds, which seemed like a few hours to me. I rested my head on his shoulder as he kissed my hair before resting his chin on my head. We stood there for another minute before he took my hand and led me toward the door. He rang the bell, and gave me a peck on the lips while we waited on Charlie's human pace. I giggled softly and he flashed me his famous crooked smile. I could swear that he could still make my heart flutter, even though I knew it was impossible. I heard the clicks as the door opened, and was surprised to see Leah standing there. Edward tightened his grip on me as I let out a silent hiss. I could still faintly remember her cruel words during my pregnancy.

"Um……..Hi…um Bella, can I speak with you for a moment."

I looked towards Edward who nodded his head. I hugged him and followed Leah into the woods. We walked down the trail leading deeper into the woods. What could she possibly want. If she was going to chew me out again I would seriously consider ripping a leg off. We came to a stop in the first clearing.

"Thanks for coming," she stammered out. I just glared at her.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I had no reason to resent you before, and I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you before. I hope you can forgive me. I mean with my mom and your dad we're going to be stepsisters, and we should get rid of any hostile feelings towards each other. And I would really like if it if we could try to be friends."

I didn't know what to say. I mean I was glad she just said that, but it was totally out of character for Leah. I just stood there and nodded my head with what I was sure was a dumbfounded expression on my face.

'Great!" she hugged me, grabbed my hand and started pulling me back to the house. I still was at a loss for words when Edward put his arm around my waits, taking me from Leah.

"I'm glad you guys worked that out, it will make things so much easier."

Leah just smiled and skipped into the house, Edward and I following behind. We walked in to Sue rinsing dishes as Charlie loaded them into the dishwasher Esme bought him for his birthday.

"Hey Bells!" He was very enthusiastic to see me. Just then about a million things happened at once.

First, the knife Sue was rinsing fell out of her grasp, and Charlie made a sad attempt to catch it. Second, all the Cullens came bursting through the open front door, and thirdly, I froze as my lethal instincts took over, preparing to attack my dad who was now spewing blood all over the kitchen where the knife had sliced his hand open. I tried to resist as much as possible, but I was impossible. The scene fleshed by as I noticed the horrified expression on Charlie's face as I sprang forward to attack. In the same second, seven pairs of hands had hold of me and were dragging me out the door. As they pulled me into the Volvo, I noticed a shocked Charlie holding an extremely curious Renesmee, both of whom were staring at me with wide eyes.

Once we got about five miles away, I took a big breath. Funny, I hadn't even noticed I even stooped breathing. I uncoiled all my muscles, and unfroze from my state of shock. I turned my head to stare into the eyes of my worried husband.

"C-c-c-c-Charlie," was all I managed to stammer out. Was he okay? Did I get a chance to hurt him? Where were the others, including my baby? I had so many questions going through my mind, so I just turned my head to Edward.

"Don't worry love, he is absolutely fine. Carlisle is bandaging his hand as we speak.

" And Reneesme," I managed to stammer out.

"She's perfectly safe. In fact Jake is with her now, taking her up to Billy's."

I could see his calm façade slip for the briefest second as he cringed at his last sentence. I wasn't too happy either but at the moment I was too stressed to rationally think over the current situation. Suddenly a dark realization hit me. What would we tell Charlie? Surely he could guess the infamous Cullen secret now. Would the volturi find out. It would surely be the death of him. I looked at Edward with panic stricken eyes.

"What is it love." He asked with intense curiosity.

"What will we tell Charlie" that was all I could manage to speak at the time being.

"Don't fret love. As we speak Jasper is explaining how your fear of blood has increased over the last few months. As far as Charlie is concerned, you had a severe panic attack. Carlisle is backing up Jaspers story with medical evidence.

Soon enough we pulled into the cullen driveway. I was surprised to see Alice sitting on the massive porch. Edward tensed, and I immediately knew something was wrong. He took a sudden intake of breath, and I could see every one of his lean muscles stretch and coil.

"Edward what is it." There was no answer so I grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Finially he huttered the two words that could send my blissful world crasing down in a flaming ball of devastation.

"T he Volturi."
