~third person .~

Serenity was outside Charlie's house three minutes later . Parking her car in the woods she sped over too the front door groceries in hand and rang the doorbell ' bring,bring ' which sounded like one of those old creepy phones . She shook her head at Charlie's odd sense of humor and waited, a minute later the door opened revealing the face of … 'what was the boy's name ah yes, Jacob Black the Quileute one of Bella's childhood friends from the La Push reservation ',and who she'd never met before "Hey Bella, " the guy grins pulling her into a bear hug Serenity wrinkles her nose at the faint wet dog smell surrounding the boy "Hey Jake." she mumbles "Jake, let Bella in 's warmer in the house ." an older man's voice calls from inside 'Billy Black ,Jacob's father.' "Oh right ,come in Bella ." Jacob mutters sheepishly stepping aside to let her pass she smiles at him , looking down at the threshold she stops for a split second and then saunters passed him into the house and small smirk on her face 'thanks for the invitation in 1995, .' she thinks wandering down the hall with Jacob trailing behind her ,she enters the kitchen placing her groceries on the counter she pulls out puts and pans and everything else she needs for dinner .

Humming an old italian tune under her breath Serenity puts her fried eggs aside to cool down then cuts up her mushrooms ,as the fettuccine pasta cooks in the pot on the stove top along side her homemade Pasta sauce "Need any help Bella?" Jacob asks as he watches her handle the knife like a pro from his seat with concern , Serenity turns to him "Yeah could you , set the table Please and call Charlie and ask him if he wants any dinner Jake." she asks with a dazzling smile .Then quickly drains the pasta and puts it back into a pan along with her chopped mushrooms , the prosciutto and tosses in the chopped up fried eggs and homemade pasta sauce as well , stirring it slowly with a wooden spoon , Jacob's meanwhile bounded off upstairs and knocked on Charlie's bedroom door , no answer frowning Jacob goes to the closet and is about to try the door handle when Charlie's head pops around the door "Oh ,Jake .Was there something you wanted ?"

"Yeah , Bella's making dinner downstairs and wondered if you wanted any." Jacob answers Charlie's face flashes with a frown which disappears seconds later "No thank you Jacob I'm not really that hungry ." Charlie mutters with a smile and snaps the closet door shut .

Shrugging Jacob jogs back downstairs to find Serenity had already set the table ,and was just placing a steaming delicious pot of pasta on top of a bread board in the middle of the table next to a fresh crusty white italian loaf of mixed grain .

Smiling pleased with herself she gestures for him to take a seat ."This smells amazing Bella ,what is it ?" Jacob asks taking his seat looking across at her as she takes hers ."Fettuccina alla Papalona ." Serenity answers in her flawless native Italian Jacob gives her a blank look and Serenity laughs "It means Fettuccine with eggs and Prosciutto in Italian ,Jake."

Jacob's face cracks into a grin "Oh, right ." Then he grabs the serving spoon off Serenity and dishes up some pasta into Billy's bowl then his bowl and hands it back to her and she dishes up a small portion for herself as well as a chuck of bread for dipping .

All three of them chatter animatedly , and around 6:45 everyone is quite full and Serenity deftly grabs all the dishes off the table and starts washing up ,Jacob protests that he can help ,but Serenity is already finished waving him off with a smile she hands his some left over pasta and shoos him and Billy out the door .

With a dark smile she quickly dries the plates ,pots and pans off ,and puts them away in the correct places then starts drying off the knife's and forks , just as the wary face of Charlie , emerges from up stairs . " Hey ,dad . "she says smiling at him , he grunts a quick " Hello" back she smiles again asking sweetly " You missed dinner , but theres some leftovers in the fridge if your still hungry "

Charlie just stared at her with his eye-brows raised after a moment he nods " thank you Bells" he replies .

She nods putting the knife's and forks away in the right draws and puts the chopping board away starts drying all the sharp kitchen knifes ,then frowns slightly at the ring on his finger , the very same one she often saw her own father wear , filled with vervain . which also protects the wearer from supernatural death , She nods pointing the kitchen knife she's in the middle of toweling off at the ring " That a nice ring Dad, is it new?"Charlie glances down at his ring ,as he rests his hand lightly on the countertop 'Oh, this no it's a family heirloom actually ." "Really? Don't you think it looks a bit garish , a bit old fashioned ."

Charlie shrugged "I suppose so , but that's family heirlooms for you . Want any help ?" he asks gesturing to the other knifes on the counter ,"Please." Serenity says with a smile, Charlie nods and starts picking up the dried knife's , sliding each one into the knife block as he goes .

Serenity slowly finishes drying the last knife off , just as Charlie lays his hand on of the counter top again , "Thanks for your help Dad," she says and in a flash brings the knife in an arc down across his fingers ,chopping his ring off making his blood pool on the island counter , she pushes him away from the counter and up against the fridge "Serenity?" Charlie gasps staring shocked at her for a few seconds "Good evening , Charlie ." She hums with a cruel fanged smile as all the blood rushes to her eyes and they go dark ,she thrusts the kitchen knife through his stomach with the sweet reply of "Sweet dreams ,Charlie ." Then disappears.

Charlie staggers weakly to the kitchen phone as he drags the Knife from his body and drops it on the kitchen floor , stumbling into the counters and kitchen table , clutching at his heavily bleeding stomach ,he reaches out to the phone on the wall ,grabbing it with bloody fingers he dials Alaska's number ,feeling his vision start to cloud and go fuzzy , the room spins and he's seeing spots. suddenly he feels his body go flying through the air ,and Serenity has him by his throat pining him against the wall , smiling darkly at him .

" Thinking about calling your little witch friend were you? " She asks,smirking at him, Charlie spat at her " Serenity , let me go you fend ! " He growled flicking his wrist making a small stake fly into his left hand quickly he thrust it upwards into her ribcage ,causing her to snarl angrily and drop him backing away hissing like an angry cat . Serenity ripped the stake out of her body snarling as she ran at Charlie with the stake in her hand throwing him into the living room over the couch and through the wooden coffee table and stabbing the stake into his arm at the same time . Charlie Groaned hearing a few of his ribs crack and twist from being pinned under Serenity's weight , groggily his vision swimming he sat up slowly reaching for his gun which had flown from his gun holster when he was thrown through the coffee table , knew he wouldn't be able in get close to her like that again So he stretched his fingers out towards his gun an in feeble attempt to grasp the handle . Serenity was stalking towards him her face dark and hungry ."Very good with the Vervain ring Charlie you're learning ." Serenity hisses , Charlie shrugs immodestly "Yeah, good thing I did too specially after last time I saw you , now say what you came to say then get the hell out of my house ! " he growls .

Serenity fake pouts "Now Charlie that's no way to treat your elders ." He snorts , Serenity hisses again "Charlie, you — " She froze for a spilt second her head and eyes flickering to the front door hearing a car , an expensive car zoom down the road towards the house , In a flash her bleeding wrist is pressed against Charlie's open mouth, gagging he reflexively gulps a few mouthfuls of her blood then she's shoving him down the hall to the front door ,motioning to it she mouths "Open it !" Charlie grudgingly opens the door and steps outside a second later a car rolled smoothly into the driveway and out hopped Edward Cullen in all his glory . " Bella ?" he asked staring at her his voice laced with surprise and a hint of suspicion .Serenity heard Charlie cough slightly as he eyed her . Serenity glowers and slips passed him smiling lightly her voice warm and loving she says joyously " Edward! " and runs over to him finally standing with in arms reach of him ,she lets him embrace her . 'I've missed you my sweet, Edward .'

" I thought you were spending the whole week in Jacksonville with your mother , and flew back tomorrow , yet your home early ," he said staring at her , she blinked " I missed you ," she whispers back, thinking' I've missed you and never stopped loving you for the last seventy-nine years,love .' As she gentlycradles his head in her hands, smiling softly at him .

He smiles at crooked half smile of his ' You have no idea ,how strongly that smile for yours makes me love you even more .' She thought and then held back a smirk of glee when he started kissing her ' Oh, how long I've waited for this moment ! ' she thought happily ,her arms instantly winding around his neck, pushing her body against his , 'a prefect fit .' She muses when Charlie clears his throat dryly doing a perfect angry father routine . " Edward , My daughter does need to breath , you know . " Edward pulls back and spins her around tucking her into his side , while she gives Charlie at cold glare and Edward walks over to Charlie " Sorry , Sir . " Ariella mentally giggles at his speech. ' That's my Edward.' she thought to herself again .Edward then walked through the door ,Ariella stops in the doorway for a moment the glare being replaced with a knowing smirk ,twirling Charlie's ring in her fingers ,smirking she slips it into her jacket pocket and strides inside still smirking at Charlie as she passes him and down the hallway and into the small kitchen settling herself into a chair , next to Edward taking his hand that rests on the tabletop .

Charlie joined them a few seconds later and slumps down into a chair saying " Edward , Bella did either of you want anything to eat ?" Edward politely declined but said before Serenity could say no as well " Bella , you should eat something , you did just get off a plane flight ." she mentally scowled at him a small bit " No , thank you . " she said , but Edward shook his head " Water , then love ." she just resists rolling her eyes " Fine ." and Charlie got up grabbing a chilled bottle of water from the freezer , unscrewing it and he also handed her a glass from the cupboard . Letting Edward's hand drop she reached for the glass and water bottle , with Edward and Charlie watching her for completely different reasons she filled her glass up a third of the way and gulped it down .

Suddenly realizing her mistake afterwards she narrowed her eyes her Charlie who Shrugged mouthing ' Nothing personal , sorry ,' smiling and glanced quickly at Edward who didn't seem to noticed anything was wrong . Jumping out of her chair she spit out pretending too feel like her is throat burning and rapidly closing up " Excuse me , I'm just going to go to the bathroom ," running as slow as she could she dash to the bathroom locking the door . She ran the tap washing her mouth out pretending too gag uncomfortably .

Dragging her iphone from her pocket she scrolled quickly through the contacts selecting ' Red ,' and pressed the 'text' option . With binding speed she texted :

' Red , its Serenity . Charlie poisoned me ,-Vervain-throat burning and closing up need help .'

The response was instantaneous .

' Serenity , calm down Theo's coming over with some Yarrow Root potion , it should counter the effects of the Vervain. Just stay calm . '

Two minutes Later a knock sounded on the door and Serenity heard Charlie talking with Theo " Hello , I'm Theo an old friend of your daughter's I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by , see she left something at my house and I wanted in give it back to her ," " Come in , " Charlie muttered and Theo bolted up the stairs not even acknowledging Edward's presents.

Theo softly tapped on the bathroom door fifteen-seconds later , and Serenity flung it open dragging him inside and locking the door after him , wordlessly he handed over the yarrow root potion Red had cooked up for her . Sulking it down she hugged him handing the empty bottle back until he gasped out softly " Ah,can't breath ." She smirks and let him go mouthing '' Thanks Theo .'' He nodded mouthing back '' Anytime Serenity ,'' and unlocked the bathroom door to let her finish cleaning up . Jogging down the stairs he thanked Charlie and got in his jeep and drove off. Serenity grabbed her phone from the window sill and texted Red back :

' Thanks, Red it worked great sent my love to EV and the boys . Yeah.'

Red texted back seconds later :

' No problem Serenity , Hey are you free tomorrow we should catch-up . And the boys and EV say Hi .'

Serenity grins softly texting back ,

' Sounds great , would you happen to have any info on the Newton Family here in Forks . Red ? '

Red texted back two minutes later ;

' Newton , as in Karen Newton 'nee Lockwood ? '

Serenity stared at her phone a slow smirk spearing across her face I knew I'd heard about them somewhere! Karen Lockwood, the Lockwood Family Curse !

' Lockwood , as in the one with the Werewolf gene , Lockwood family from Mystic Falls ?'

Red , answered back straight away ;

'Yeah , unless you know another , family by the same name who also happens to have the Werewolf transformation gene is their blood living in Forks, Serenity. '

Serenity just stared at her phone a dark smirk on her face This is perfect, she thinks.

Slipping her phone back into her pocket she quickly washed her face again and stepped out of the bathroom and walked down the stairs to the kitchen flopping down as ungracefully as she could manage next to Edward thinking ' I need to get a new walking blood bag ,I can still use Mike for now as the WereWolf gene hasn't been activated ,so his blood won't kill me yet . I can even force him to change, having one werewolf is good but having a back up one's even better.'

" I leave you two alone ." Charlie muttered grinning at her , she scowled back at him as he wandered into the living-room and turned on the T.V .Edward immediately turned to her asking " Bella who was that ,Theo guy ?" " An old friend ," she answered while thinking ' Why do you bother Edward , there is a reason I don't tell you certain things it's for your own good and to protect myself .'" Oh , you've never mentioned him before that's all ." He murmured Serenity arched her eye-brow at him' I forgot how controlling you like to be, I actually feel slightly sorry for Bella ,' " why would I have , I haven't seen him for years ."

Edward stared at her his face confused and full of concern " Bella are you sure you're feeling well ."Serenity fought the urge to snap at him and instead blinked a few times muttering " I'm just tired Edward. although I did go to school for half the day I came home early because I felt sick the jet-lag finally getting to me I think . " She lied smoothly he nodded seeming satisfied with her answer " All right , then I better get home Esme will start to get worried , " Kissing her tenderly on the forehead Edward bid Charlie goodbye and walked out the door closing it behind him walked to his car , hopping into it he drove off into the night .

Charlie scrambles up from his seat and races for his gun snatching at it he stumbles onto the floor a few inches from it quickly grasping the handle and hauled himself up he stood swaying slightly aiming it he shot at Serenity who stood in the kitchen about to throw a knife straight into his chest once in shoulder , twice in her leg and another shot at her gut she growled gasping in pain staggering backwards into the kitchen table , she doubled over falling forwards onto the tiled floor gasping sharp breaths , Charlie stalked towards slowly her his gun cocked aimed at her heart . kneeing he presses his gun to her chest, and is about to pull the trigger ,when he's all of a sudden smashed on his back , and Serenity's hovering over him the stake from before in her hand , viciously she stabs him with it over and over again, pressing her booted foot down hard on his ribs, cracking at lease five of them , he yells out in pain she locks eyes with him , her fangs out ,she suddenly swoops down and goes to attack his neck , causing him to yell again louder ,and push against her , somehow he manages to aim his gun at her stomach ,and he fires one ,two three. Her body jerks and she staggers up off him and flashes away into the living room and keels over onto the carpet beside the coffee table trying to dig the wooden bullets out of her body . Charlie climbs to his feet with some difficultly and limps awkwardly over to her , she raises her head locking eyes with him ,her face curled into an expression of slight fear " Charlie , You know I can help you . Don't kill me . I can help you protect Bella, she's in danger !" Charlie raised his eye-brows hissing " The only person she in danger from is you ," then he fired .
