A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I saw Breaking Dawn yesterday and it was AMAZING! Go see it if you haven't yet. I won't give away any spoilers but I will say the Honeymoon scenes were the BEST! Ok, so I know I posted this chapter already but I couldn't continue with my story the way it is. So I'm going back and changing up Jacob's character. I can't hate him anymore after seeing what happen in the movie. So this chapter does have a few changes to Jacob's character. Anyway on with the story:
All the Cullen's just stood there. Something bad was about to happen they just had no idea what it was going to be. They could only hope Bella didn't lose her mother. She would never be able to handle it.
Bella arrived home, "Mom, Mom I'm home." She called. She gasped when her mom walked in.
"Mom, what happen to your neck and your arm?"
"Nothing, just had a small fall I'm fine. I have something to tell you."
"What's going on?" Bella asked.
"Phil and I have come to an agreement and we've both decided it would be best for you if Phil adopted you so we went today and got the papers. It's official, Phil is your new father. We're going to be one big happy family."
Phil came out of the room with a huge smile on his face, was he always that white?
"Come to Daddy, Princess."
Bella shook her head. "You're not my daddy. I will not call you daddy. You may be on paper but in my heart you will never be my father."
Bella turned to go up to her room.
"Bella, come back down here. We're going to have a nice family dinner." Renee said.
Bella sighed. She turned and they all went into the kitchen. Phil served her a plate and one to her mother. Phil didn't have one.
"You're not eating." Bella asked.
"I had a big lunch."
First she notices, how white he is and now, he isn't eating, something wasn't right. Was he ice cold too?
"You know…I've been thinking and you're right mom." Bella lied smoothly. She reached over and touched Phil's hand it was freezing. She gasped and pulled away. "You're freezing."
"Sorry, my hands get like that sometimes what were you saying?"
"UH…nothing it's not important. Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."
She got up and went up to her room, calling Edward was too risky, Phil would hear. She grabbed her cell phone and sent him a text message.
Phil is pure white, his hands are ice cold, and he isn't eating anything. My mom has a bandage on her neck. I'm freaking out!
She paced back and forth in her room waiting for him to answer back. Why wasn't he here? Alice should have seen this by now…right?
"Waiting for Cullen?" a voice asked.
Bella jumped startled. "Jacob, you scared me. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to make sure those little blood suckers don't ruin everything."
"What are you talking about?"
Jacob held up Edward's cell phone.
"How did you get that?"
"I have my ways."
"Ok….why did you take it?"
"Because, Phil and I have a plan, we didn't want that stupid Alice to ruin it."
"Wait, you and Phil are working together?"
"Yes, he and I both want the same thing and he had a way to help me get that."
"Which is what?"
"You'll see."
Suddenly she heard her mother scream.
"NO! PHIL! STOP PLEASE! PLEASE PHIL STOP STOP!"
Bella ran into the living room. What she saw shocked her. It sent her mind into overdrive. Phil had her mother pinned to the couch with hands above her head. Bella was so upset she failed to hear the laughter coming from Renee. You see Phil wasn't hurting her in any way they were just having your normal tickle fight. Bella ran and started to pound on Phil's back getting him to let go of her mother.
A shooting pain shot through her hand but she didn't care.
"DON'T TOUCH HER! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!"
"Isabella Swan what is the matter with you?" Renee asked shocked.
"Mom, he was hurting you. I heard you screaming I had to stop him."
"Bella he was tickling me."
"Tickling you?"
"Yes Bella tickling you know when he touches you and makes you laugh." Renee said.
"Here Bella I'll show you just what I was doing to your mother."
"NO GET AWAY FROM ME!"
She kicked Phil in between the knees, a sharp pain went through her foot and she dropped to her knees.
"Bella!" Renee cried out.
She ran over to her. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, mom, you have to stop, he's bad, please you have to listen to me, Phil is dangerous we have to make him leave."
"Honey…how did you know?"
"What?"
"Phil been attacking me all day, how did you know he's bad?"
"I just do, mom we need to leave, we can go to the Cullen's they will help us."
"You're not going anywhere." Phil said. "You need to be careful what you say Bella, I can hear your every word, even when you whisper."
"How is that possible?" Renee asked.
"Would you like to tell her, Bella, or should I?" Phil asked.
"Tell me what?"
"I'm a vampire."
Renee laughed. "Seriously, what do you want to tell me?"
"It's true. Just look at your neck."
"Wait, you bit her?" Bella asked.
"Of course I did, when she woke up she didn't remember anything."
"You told me I burnt myself while doing my hair." Renee said.
"I lied."
"So…so you're a vampire…What do you want?"
"I want your money."
"What?" Bella and her mother asked at the same time.
Phil sighed. Women were so dumb sometimes. "When your husband…" He coughed. "When your ex husband died you received a lot of money right?"
Reenee nodded. "To help with the funeral and pay for the house and things. It was his life insurance."
Phil nodded. "Yup."
"What do you want with me? I don't understand."
"Think about it…"
"I'm not sure how I would fit into that."
"Gosh woman you are so stupid." Phil sighed and covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath. "When Charlie died you received his money. You claimed me as your benefactor so when you die I will receive all of your money AND Charlie's money. I'll be so filthy rich."
"Where does Bella fit into all this?" Renee asked.
"Oh, that where I come in." Jake said walking into the room.
"Yes, you see, I didn't care much about Bella. I was going to ship her off to a foster home or a boarding school, I really didn't care. Then I noticed this sad depressed young man here and he told me how much he loved Bella and how hurt he was that Bella didn't love him back."
"Jake, I never wanted to hurt you. You know that, why would you agree to this?" Bella asked.
"It's to protect you Bella, from those blood suckers. We both know at the end of the day Edward is jumping for joy you want to be like him. He's acts like his hates it but it's all for show. He can't wait to suck you dry."
"What? That isn't true, Edward hates the idea of me becoming a vampire. I'm the one who wants it so badly."
"Oh did I forget to mention Edward is a vampire too. All the Cullen's are vampires." Phil said.
Renee gasped. She looked to Bella. "Tell me he is lying, Edward isn't a vampire…is he?"
"I'm sorry, they asked me to keep it a secret I had no choice."
Renee looked to Jake, "Are you a vampire too?"
"No, I'm a werewolf."
"Oh, of course, why am I not surprised." Renee said with an eye roll.
"So, wait, if you're doing all this for money are you…you're not…did you?"
"Are you asking if I killed your father the answer is yes, Charlie had more money, once Renee got that money I'd have his money and your mothers money so I needed him to be dead. I really didn't have a choice."
Bella stood up ignoring the pain that shot through her foot. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAD NO CHOICE! YOU SHOT MY FATHER IN COLD BLOOD!"
"Wait, I didn't know that. You told me Charlie died trying to protect my father." Jacob growled.
"He did, I was going to try and drink from your father, he tried to shoot me but because I was bullet proof it didn't work. So took the gun from him and shot him."
"Wait, you hurting my father was never part of our deal!"
"Your father is fine, no harm done."
"You killed Charlie, he was my father's best friend, he's driving himself insane with guilt because of you."
"He'll get over it."
"NO HE WON'T!" Jacob screamed."I NEVER WOULD HAVE AGREED TO THIS STUPID PLAN IF I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE WHO KILLED CHARLIE! You were supposed to get Bella and convince her to break up with Edward and pick me that's it! You were never supposed to hurt anyone! You were never supposed to kill Charlie!"
"So I left out a few details. But now you get Bella and I'll have my money."
"You will not touch them."
Jacob growled and leaped to stand in front of Bella and Renee. He was in wolf form. Suddenly Bella felt a lot safer.
"You can't beat me. I'm not scared of you." To the girls Jacob just growled. They couldn't understand him.
"What did he say?" Renee asked.
"Not a clue." Bella sighed.
Where were Edward's mind reading skills when you needed it?
"You betray me, I'll kill you." Phil warned.
Jacob just continued to growl, he bared his teeth barking and growling dangerously. Although Bella wasn't scared anymore.
"Let's end this wolf."
Phil and Jacob started to fight. Everything was going by so fast Bella couldn't tell what happen. Suddenly Jacob let out a yelp of pain and fell to ground transforming back to a human. "Jacob!" Bella yelled.
She ran...well limped over to Jacob.
"Hang in there, we will get Carlisle and he'll help you."
"Not if I kill you first." Phil growled.
"That's not going to happen." Renee stood up and went over to the phone.
"Calling the police won't do any good." Phil said.
"I'm not calling the police."
"Then who are you calling?"
"The only people I know who will help me deal with you."
Before Renee could blink Phil was at her side. "That is not a smart idea."
He grabbed her by the hair and yanked her head back.
"MOM! NO!" Bella screamed.
She went to run but her foot, not being able to bare the pain, gave out from under her and she dropped to her knees right next to Jacob. Bella gulped. This was going to end badly….all that was heard after that was tons and tons of screaming.
Over at the hospital Carlisle sighed as he finally signed out. He loved his job but it was days like these he wished there wasn't so much paper work involved. He had spent most of the day doing paper work. He was just about to go home when a nurse stopped him.
"Dr. Cullen, please we need you. A young girl was just brought in and she's asking desperately for you. She will not calm down until she sees you."
"Can't it wait till morning? I need to get home to my family." Carlisle sighed.
"Please, she refuses to let us help her and we can't figure out what's wrong with her and it's just a mess please."
"What happen?"
"All we know is her neighbor heard screaming so she called the police, when they got there the young girl was laying next to her mother and they were bleeding from the neck and passed out."
"Wait, from the neck?"
"Yes, they have these strange markings like…bite marks."
"Bite marks?"
"Yes, it's very strange. Ms. Swan is so weak but she is using her every ounce of strength to fight us."
"Wait, what did you just sat the girls name was?"
"Ms. Swan, full name Isabella Swan."
Carlisle turned whiter…if that was possible.
"OK, I will help you. Take me to her right away."
Carlisle quickly followed the nurse.
They finally reached a room and Carlisle was shocked at what he saw. Five other nurses were in there trying to calm down Bella. She was hysterical, she was crying hard she was gasping for air, she was shaking uncontrollably, and she was fighting every doctor to get near her.
"Everyone stop!" He ordered.
All the doctors stopped and turned to look at him.
"Leave me alone with her."
Without question all the nurses and doctors left the room. Carlisle rushed to Bella and pulled her into his arms.
"All right, shhh you're safe, Bella. Everything is ok. Shhh I'm right here. Just rest shhh." Carlisle soothed.
He grabbed his stethoscope from around his neck and put it in his ears. He pressed the small piece to Bella's back as he continued to soothe her.
"Shhh, it's ok, shhh that's a good girl, just calm down. Everything is ok. You're safe, shhh no one is going to hurt you shhh."
Bella slowly started to calm down.
"Ok, ok, shhh, good girl, just take some deep breaths, shhh I'm right here. Nobody is going to hurt you shhh."
"Ed…Ward" Bella choked out through her cries.
"I'll call him as soon as I get you calmed down. I can't leave you this upset, it isn't healthy."
Bella started calming down faster. Carlisle chuckled. "I should have used that sooner."
Finally Bella had calmed down to just sniffles. Carlisle knew it would take Edward to calm her down the rest of the way. Carlisle also knew it was best not to leave Bella alone right now. He grabbed his cell phone and called the home.
"Hey, Esme, look, I need you to get Edward and get to the hospital. Bella was just brought in and is asking for him….I don't know what happen. Just get here as fast as you can."
With that he hung up.
"They're on their way, they will be here really soon."
"Es…me." Bella choked out again.
"She's coming too. Just hang in there. Do you think you can tell me what happen?"
"Mom…my."
Carlisle sighed. "Bella, you're mother isn't here. Do you remember what happen?"
Bella nodded. "Mom…my i-is de-dead."
"I'm so sorry Bella."
Bella started to cry again.
"Oh, baby. Come here."
Carlisle pulled her back into a hug as she cried into his chest. There was a knock at the door and for some reason that caused Bella to get more upset and she cried harder.
"Yes?" Carlisle asked, he forced himself to push Bella back for a minute, if anyone who knew close he was to Bella they'd take him off the case in an instant.
"You're wife and son are here." The nurse said peeking her head in.
"Send them back right away." Carlisle said.
The nurse nodded and walked out.
"Did you hear that, Edward is here. He is on his way to the room." Carlisle tried to coo gently.
Bella just continued to cry as she started to gasp for air.
The door burst open and Edward was at Bella's side in an instant.
He hugged her close and rubbed her back. He started to hum softly and Bella started to calm down. Carlisle went over to Esme by the door.
"What happen?" Esme asked softly.
"I don't know, I honestly don't know. I think Bella and her mother were attacked."
"What? By who? Is Renee ok?"
Carlisle sighed. "Renee is dead."
"Oh no, poor Bella." Esme gasped.
"I have no idea how or what happen but I think it was another vampire, both Bella and Renee have bite marks on their neck."
"That's awful."
"I know."
"How is Bella…I feel stupid asking that."
Carlisle chuckled. "She's ok now that she has Edward, but she was hysterical earlier."
Esme sighed. She and Carlisle went back over to the bed.
"How is she?"
"She's finally sleeping. I'm afraid if I put her down on the bed she'll wake up." Edward said as he continued to keep her close in his arms.
"She's have major back pain if you don't. Lay down with her."
Edward nodded and moved them both so Edward was lying in the bed and Bella was close in his arms sleeping peacefully on his chest.
"While she is sleeping I'm going to attach her to the machines and do what I can at checking out her injuries. It will be better than when she is awake." Carlisle said.
Every nodded and Carlisle got to work. Bella stayed sleeping the whole time. After a little while he was finished.
"A broken hand, a broken leg, deep long scratch across her arm and a bite mark on her neck. No wonder she is so weak, she lost a lot of blood."
"Will she be ok?" Edward asked.
"With a lot of rest she will be fine. Physically, the scars will heal and her bones will heal. Mentally, I don't know if Bella is ever going to get through this."
"What is this, Carlisle? What happen?" Edward asked.
"I wish I had all the answers but I don't. Hopefully Bella will tell us more in the morning. Until then there is nothing more we can do."
Edward sighed. "I'm not leaving her."
"I know, none of us are."
Carlisle and Esme took a seat on the couch and just cuddled. In the morning Bella was either going to talk and tell them what happen or shut everyone out completely and refuse to speak…they just hoped it was the first one.
A/N Sorry all you Jacob fans but you have been warned. What do you think Bella will do in the morning? Will she shut down or will she open up and talk to the Cullen's Leave me your thoughts in a review.
