Chapter 3

Once again I awoke screaming. I looked around, trying to get my eyes used to the light. At first, I did not know where I was. Then it suddenly hit me. I was in my truck still. But that meant that niether Edward or Charlie had come home yet. But then I remember that Edward said that he wasn't coming to my house tonight.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. What is with these horrible dreams? I thought as I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the door. A cold rush of wind hit my face. At that moment, a horrible feeling shot up my body.

I stared up at the stars and thought. Why can't have a carefree life like them? I fumbled with my keys and found the one to the front door. Opening the door, I realized that no one had even been home. Wondering what time it was, I looked at the clock in the kitchen. 2:30. Charlie isn't home yetStill confused, I looked around the house for him. No one was there.

Figuring that he must have stayed with Billy, I went upstairs. As I got ready for bed, I couldn't help but wonder what Billy was going to tell Charlie. Could he tell Charlie about the Cul- No. He wouldn't. I argued with myself about the different possibilities of what Billy could have possibly said. Finally, I went to sleep.

I awoke to a frantic knocking on the front door. I got up and walked down stairs, too tired to really wonder who it could be.

When I opened the door, I saw two big police, one of which I knew from the station. I knew this wasn't going to be good.

"Isabella," The taller one started, "We have some bad news.Charlie never came home from hs friend's. He was killed last night."

I fell to the floor. This can't be happening. It's just another one of my nightmares. I'll wake up...right? "But...but...are you sure?" I asked, my voice shaking violently.

"Yes...We are..quite sure..I'm truly sorry. We were too late to help him. Jacob Black found him, actually. We don't know the exact cause...but we are working hard.." The other cop said to me with a hand on my shoulder. I could not speak. Jacob found him? What happened? This can't be real. There is no way it is real I'll wake up soon. This is just a bad dream and I'll have Edward sitting on my bed, telling me that it wasn't real, and it was only a dream. I closed my eyes and told myself to wake up. When I opened them again, I still saw the two cops standing in my doorway.

"Is there anyone that you could stay with Bella, until we sort this all out?" The first cop asked me. I nodded slowly and the tears started to flow. "Ok, would you like us to drive you down to your friend's" I shook my head. "Alright. Well, we will contact you when we get more information. We are really sorry, he was a honorable person and a great friend. We are sorry about your, and all of our loss." They both gave me a sad look and then headed out to their car. I sat on my floor, not even bothering to shut the door, rocking back and forth.

The next hour was a blur. I couldn't believe it. How..How could this happen? Who would want to do that to Charlie? As I closed my eyes, I saw Charlie's face and immediantly opened them again. I don't know how long I sat there or how time even passed.

I look outside to see a car parked outside. Then suddenly Jacob was running towards me. I saw him come into the house thorugh my blurry tears.

"Bella, honey, I'm so sorry," Jacob said, comforting me.

Calming down, I spoke,"Jacob...how could this happen?"

"I don't know. But they broke the treaty."

"What!" I exclaimed, thinking that it might have been one of the werewolves that had broken it.

"It was a Cullen. We Don't know which one actually killed...Charlie..."

"Jacob! How could you accuse them of doing that? They wouldn't! They are my family."

"We don't know why they did it Bella, we just know that they did."

"You have to be mistaken. It could have been anyone! You're just pointing fingers because you don't like them!"

"Just becasue I don't like them, doesn't mean that I would falsley accuse them and we aren't mistaken. What other vampires are there Bella?"

"Victoria!" I screamed, realixing that it made sense.

"Don't you get it? The treat is only broken when a Cullen kills or even bites a human!"

"That can't be..."

"It is. Please, come with me and we'll sort this all out," he said, extending a hand.

"No! Where is Edward?" I demanded.

"He is at his house with his family. They are speaking with Billy. Come with me and you can see him."

I nodded and then grabbed his hand. This is unbelievable.

Jacob's car was parked crooked on the street. Some of it was parked on the grass, the other on the road. As he opened the door, I suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"Bella!" Jacob screamed as my head hit the soft grass. He picked me up as I attempted to stand and put me in the car. "Are you alright? You're going into shock," he said as he drove. I just simply nodded, not really caring what he was saying.

When we pulled up to the Cullen's house, I saw Edward run over to me in the blink of an eye.

"I told you that I would get her," He growled ina low voice to Jacob,"Bella, sweety, are you alright?" Edward's voice changed into the soft one he had when he spoke to me.

"I don't know." I whispered. The tears flowed as I saw Esme and Alice come over to where we stood.

Edward picked me up easily and started to head for the house, ignoring the glare from Jacob. "She needs rest," he said as he passed Alice and Esme. They nodded and looked at me with pity in their eyes.

"Edward...Whats happening?" I asked him as we got into his bedroom.

"Apparently the werewolves think that we killed Charlie. But Bella, you have to believe us. We would never do that."

"Edward..." I said crying, "I don't know what to think anymore. My father is dead and the treaty is somehow broken. I believe you but..I just don't understand it..How in the world is the treaty broken if you or your family didn't do it?"

"I don't know. That's what we are trying to figure out. Billy and the others are on our land so the treaty has definaltey been broken, but we just aren't sure how though...Now rest Bella. I need to go down there and..." he stopped mid sentence. A low growl rumbled in his throat and he said, "Stay here." And then he shot out of the door and was gone. I heard a scream come from the yard.

Despite how weak I felt, I threw myself off of Edward's coucha dn ran down the stairs. I went into the yard to see what the screaming was about and what I saw was horrific.
