Previously : I was so close I could see the tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Where are you?" he whispered.

"Right here Dad" I replied my voice wobbling.

My dad visibly froze on the ground and slowly unclenched his fingers for the grass. I could hear his heart beat increasing with every ragged breath he took. His head turned and he looked at me. He had chocolate eyes that widened as he looked at me.

"Bella? Is is really you?" He whispered. He slowly got to his feet but didn't approach me.

"Yeah, dad. Its me" I smiled at a loss for words to say. Slowly his hand extending towards me and I felt the heat radiate from his body hit me. His blood was mouth watering but not in the appetizing way. I stood frozen on the ground (A/N Hahaha gettit? Frozen! Sorry lol!) as he touched my cheek. He gasp and shuddered at the temperature but didn't say anything. Tears cascaded down his cheeks and he pulled me into a hug. I hugged him human tightly and buried my face inhaling his scent. His body shook with sobs as we clutched each other. He pulled away looking at me full in the face then turned to face the grave as did I. The headstone was beautiful. It was black marble with natural patters running through it. The writing was elegant and gold.

Rene Swan

Beloved wife and adored mother.

May she rest in piece.

"Not a day goes by that I don't miss you two." he grimaced. I hugged him again.

"Me too. I missed you so much! I still can't believe she's gone." I sniffed unshed tears clouding my vision slightly.

"Where have you been? Lets go home, your freezing!" He smiled a watery smile. I nodded with tears in my eyes. He let me to a police cruiser and opened the door for me. The car ride was quite but several time Charlie reached out and grabbed my hand, as though to make sure he isn't dreaming or hallucinating. We pulled up at the house. It had drastically changed. The grass was waist length and the hedges resembled trees. The house looked eerie and haunted as though no one lived in it. The door opened at my side and Charlie ushered me in. Inside was no better. Take away cartons covered every surface and even the floor. Empty foul smelling beer bottles littered the place. A couch sat in the middle with a wide screen TV in front of it.

"Sorry, I don't expect company much" he shrugged going to pick up a few empty cans.

"No I will get it, you go get changed" Eying his muddy clothes, I smiled with a nod to the stairs. He shook his head aghast.

"I can't let you do that. You just got here, I-" I cut him off with a gentle push towards the stairs. He walked upstairs grumbling to him self. With vampire speed I cleaned everything up in 2 seconds flat. I sat down and waited for him. He came down five minutes later wearing a t-shirt and clean sweats. He gasped as he started around in amazement.

"Fast worker" I shrugged. Blinking fiercely he sat down and pulled a bottle beer from the mini fridge at the side of the couch. He chugged some of it down and took a deep breath.

"I cannot believe I have found you again bells." he sniffed. "I prayed everyday and I never stopped looking for you. Never gave up hope. I came out of surgery and told you were gone. I had everyone out looking for you while I was recovering. I felt so helpless and useless while lying there, knowing you were out there. Not knowing if you were okay, was the part that killed me the most." he cut if with a sob.

"Dad I-" I began but with a shake of the head he cut me off.

"At the funeral, I keep looking around for you. I was sure your mum would guide you back to me. I used to pretend that she was here with me. Whispering in my ear. I swear I heard her whisper to me once. She said "Never give up". Quickly as it came, it was gone. Nuts right?" he grinned sadly. "The thing is I never gave up. I honestly believed I would see you again. I felt it in my heart. After the funeral things just went down. I spent all my time searching for you, the other part drinking away my sorrows. I pushed my friends my friends away, just gave up on life. You being to only exception." he smiled at me. I felt love built up inside me from him. My dad! He didn't die, he was alive the whole time. But how?

"Dad what happened?" I asked my voice wobbling. Was I ready for the answer? This is the moment of truth. Is Edward guilty or not? I braced myself for the answer not really sure if I wanted to heart it but I can't live without knowing.

"We were driving in the car back home. I remember it so clearly."

*Flashback! As he is reminiscing in the memory he is telling Bella about it.*

"Rene's laugh filled the whole car as I finished telling her a joke. She gazed at me love etched in her beautiful features.

"Another, another!" she cried, tears of laughter streaming down her cheeks. I thought back to the joke book I read a few hours ago. Remembering a good one I laughed.

"Okay, okay. So a blonde was swerving all over the road and driving very badly, so she got pulled over by a cop.

The cop walked up to her window and asked, "Miss, why are you driving so recklessly?"

The blonde said, "I'm sorry sir, but wherever I go, there's always a tree in front of me and I can't seem to get away from it!"

The cop looked at her and said, "Lady, that's your air freshener!"

Rene cracked up laughing as I swerved the car on purpose. Looking into her face, I was so happy. She had laugh lines etched in her skin, they made her look so carefree. I looked at the speed dial, saw I was doing over 50, so I slowed down a little.

"You funny fool." She laughed. "That's why a love ya!" she smiled kissing my cheek. We were fifteen minutes away from the house. The road was clear so I sped up a little. A few minutes later Rene, fell asleep. I remember feeling so content and In love. I got a new job, on the police force, and I got paid that very day. We kept it a secret from you, wanted it to be a secret. We had been shopping for everything. Food clothes, you name it. I was so happy. I remember yawning again and again, not understand why I was feeling so tired. My eyes started drooping. Before it went black, I saw a sliver car in my path before everything went black."

His eyes became focused again as he wiped a stray tear that escaped at the corner of his eye.

"Turns out there was a gas leak in the car, which made us fall into consciousness. I was utterly destroyed when I learned I killed a boy in the car. When I heard about your mum, then you. I wanted to die! I caused the death of an innocent boy. Edmund, I think he was called. I'm gonna make a cup of coffee" he sighed sadly and got up.

I was reeling. He didn't kill them. It was a gas leak in the car. I pulled out my phone ready to call him but then stopped with the phone at my ear. His accusations really hurt me. I wont ever talk to him, I will apologize then that's it. My feeling are gone. I hope. The smell of coffee stronger as a cup was placed in front of me.

"So Bells, enough about me. Where have you been?" he asked concern lacing his voice. I sigheh.

"When I got told you had a heart attack I-" there was a whoosh and a pitter patter as coffee went everywhere. His face went red as he spluttered and choked so I thumped his back. He winced slightly and his colour went back to normal.

"I didn't have a heart attack!" he coughed. I frowned as he shook his head.

"The woman in hospital told me…" I slowly trailed off at the end. She told me, I remember it! She must have made- wait! Was she lying?! No she wouldn't do that.

"Oh well I thought you did." I smiled hiding my confusion. "I went off the rails a little. Went travelling with the money I saved up. Got a flat and threw myself into my job" I shrugged.

"What made you come back?" he whispered. I looked at him. Wrinkles lined his face. He had a brown moustache and brown hair that was slowly going grey.

"A feeling" I smiled. "The smell of lilies in the air drew me to the cemetery."

"Ah lilies, you were always a sucker for them" he laughed. By now the sky had fallen and Charlie yawned.

"Its so good to see you Bells, I missed you so much!" he smiled content.

"You too. Dad I better go, I have to go home, feed the cat but I will see you soon okay" I squeezed his hand. He flinched at my cold skin but nodded. He lay down on the couch and stretched. I got up and headed to the door.

"Take care bells, love you" he smiled. I felt a rush of love as he said that.

"Love you too" I smiled and closed the door. I heard the sound of soft snores as I walked towards the forest. When hidden I ran not really paying attention to where I was going. Suddenly I slammed into someone and I felt several hands clamp on me. I looked around in panic at the vampires. There were 6 new born vampires, with blood red eyes holding onto me. I tried to break free but it was no use.

"Let me go now!" I screamed snapping my teeth at them. There was the sound of gentle footsteps and someone came closer. Autumn.

"Bella, Bella, Bella" she smiled shaking her head. "Will you ever learn? I have been waiting for this moment for ages" she said, her eyes flashing wickedly. I struggled against the vice grip but it was pointless.

Autumn then grinned, her blood red eyes gleaming in the moonlight. "Come, make sure she doesn't escape. Our master has been dying to meet her…"
