I do not own Twilight; I have no money involved in this; This is solely for fun and amusement. I just wanted to thank everyone for reading this, I noticed some people responding to this from before my long hiatus :) Now to the story...

Previous chapter ending~

Outside at the nurses' station Bella's life signs spiked rapidly before stopping all together. The alarms of the hospital rang out as nurses and doctors rushed to her room yelling for a crash cart knowing her heart monitor flat lined…

Chapter 8 ~ Missing

The doctors and nurses rushed into Bella's room causing a stir in the late night at the hospital, Charlie who was returning for getting coffee down in the cafeteria saw the rush as the elevator doors opened. Dropping his steaming coffee on the white marble of the hospital floor as he ran to his daughters room. Pushing his way through the nurses trying to see what was happening, when he finally reached her bed the doctors were just standing there. Charlie just stood there his hands dropping to his sides as he realized his daughter was gone... her bed was empty...

Elsewhere~

The figure holding Bella laid her unconcious form down on a cot putting a blanet over her knowing it was cold and if she was going to be any use to him she would have to heal and stay healthy. He gave a low growl despising the fact he was having to care for a human.

Charlie POV

My daughter was gone, everything that had been going on lately was more than confusing but I wasn't a stupid man. I was a Sherriff and a father, and I knew when something was not adding up, especially when it came to my daughter. The way Billy had been talking after the animal attack and then her reaction the other day when I entered her room. I had no issues getting Bella out of Sam Uleys house, but now that she is gone I want answers.

Speeding down the road leading to La Push, the dirt flying up behind my car. Finally pulling on the the Black property, I parked opening the creaking door of my sherriff car. Billy must have heard about what happened because he was already out on the porch with a worried look on his face. "Charlie have they found anything out about Bella's whereabouts? She couldn't have just dissapeared" I could see the worry on his face, made me think twice about demanding to be told what was going on, but as a father I needed to know.

"Billy they still don't have any leads, but that isn't completely why I am here" I paused a moment, Billy was my friend but I knew he was hiding something from me. He was hiding something from me that my daughter was involved it. Putting on my Sherriff fascade "Billy what is going on here? I know you aren't telling me something." Billy looked started at my words, I knew he wasn't expecting it.

"What are you talking about Charlie?" his hands were gripping the sides of his wheel chair

Sighing "Billy, I know you know something that I don't. This concerns my daughter Billy, I have a right to know. You reaction, hell everyone on the Reservations reaction to the Cullens and when the Cullens left, When Sam pulled her from the woods, the "animal" attack, how everyone was around her, her freaking out! Billy she would rather have bleed out by standing than being at Sam's any longer! AND NOW... and now my daughter is missing" I knew I started to yell but I couldn't help it, Bells was missing and my friend knew more that he was saying.

Billy just sat there, I could tell that his mind was going crazy trying to find something to say. In the end he turned around "Go home Charlie I have to make a phone call."

I was stunned for a moment before stepping forward following him a bit "I'll wait outside Billy, but I am not leaving with out answers, not this time. You wouldn't leave if this was about Jacob, Rebecca, or Rachael." He paused for a moment before heading inside and picking up the phone. He was speaking in hushed tones to someone with a deep voice.

A few moments later Billy opened the door, "Come in the house Charlie, Sam and Paul are on there way over." I just nodded a bit weary of Sam and Paul coming over.

AN. Short chapter I know. I just wanted to focus on Charlie a bit, and leave the big stuff for the next chapter hehe
