Three
I looked and it was just the cab coming down the driveway.
"Hey, are you alright?" asked the husky cab driver. "I heard some howling and thought I would see if you were ok."
"Ya, I'm fine. You can just take me back to my house, please," I responded.
As we pulled onto my street I told the cab driver to pull over and I would walk the rest of the way. I gave him the rest of my fare and stepped out onto the sidewalk. I glanced down at my watch and realized that Charlie should already be sleeping.
I cautiously made my way up the porch and turned the old knob slowly. I opened the door and proceeded up the worn stairs, taking them two by two. I made it to my bedroom door and heard some shuffling in Charlie's room. I managed to gently close my door and hopped into my bed. I faced the wall and made sure that my blankets covered my body. Charlie opened my door and peeked in.
"You're just hearing things you old man. She is safe and sound," Charlie said to himself.
"If only that were true," I thought to myself.
What was I going to do? Edward and the Cullens were gone and Victoria was out to get me.
