Chapter Nine

Charlie's POV

I let Becca guide me further into the forest. With my new sight she was even more radiant; I did not even know such a thing was possible. But still, the sense of danger that she illuminated was thick in the air. With our graceful movements we glided through the thick underbrush. Farther on to the property then I had ever before.

"Thank you for coming with me, Charlie. It really means the world to me that you would trust me…even after being such a rough time." Becca smiled at me and sat on the ground. She patted the spot next to her and gestured for me to follow suit. I couldn't deny her. "Your daughter doesn't trust me, now does she? I don't know why. I have been completely honest with her…you do trust me don't you, Charlie? I don't think I could even bear it if that wasn't true."

After I had changed Bella warned me about Becca but I just couldn't see it. Becca was so cherubic. She was nicer to me then the others. I may be just a bit prejudice because she is the only single thing around here but I'm a lot older then her after all…

Becca continued quietly, "Charlie, do you think I'm bad too?" I looked at her and shook my head. Not Becca. Not something so sweet and beautiful could be so evil. But Becca just laughed. "Have they told you what I am?" I shook my head confused. What more could she be? I know she's a vampire for Pete's sake. "Have they told you where I'm from?"

"Becca, if you want to tell me something just do it. I'm a vampire. Damned for all eternity, but that does not mean I want to spend the entire time beating around the bush. Are you gonna tell me or not?"

"Haha, Charlie, I understand, sorry" Becca laughed melodically and leaned against my shoulder. "I've never told the whole story to anyone before so I just hope that you…will not run away…"
