Chapter 20

So a tiny thing; I haven't received ANY comments for the last two chapters. Why? Does it suck? If it does then tell me so I can make it better!! With

this chapter you'll surely leave one… you will find out why later on…

Disclaimer; well Stephanie Meyer doesn't work as a dishwasher, but I does so thereby we must conclude; I am not SM… sad, but true :(

"I don't really know how you will react to this…" Carlisle looked a bit tired and worn out "Bella… do you remember when James was killed by

Edward?" i nodded gravely and noticed the darkish look flashing over Jacob's face when Carlisle mentioned James. When we had started our

relationship I had told him about the James-disaster (the vampire I had named mister-pain-in-the-ass), since then Jacob had hated him for trying to kill

me. "Well Bella, it turns out that Victoria and James was mates and now she wants revenge; she wishes to kill you. To her it doesn't matter that you

and Edward aren't a couple anymore, she still hates you." He was looking as if he had a major headache and his eyes were filled with sorrow, because

he had to make us worry like this. There was something that confused me; how did they know? Carlisle answered my question before I could even ask

it "Alice got a vision of Victoria making a bunch of strong newborns with special powers, they are only a certain amount as she doesn't want to make

the Volturi notice her. I think the Volturi are a bit unsure as to how to treat you and the pack as they haven't seen anyone with such power as you for

years. Aro is a leader and he has decided to make some of his people come over and see if you are any danger to them or if they could make an

alliance with you. For some reason Aro thinks it was best for all if they could get through this episode in a peaceful manner, we didn't understand it

until we saw the massive amount of creatures that follows you." Carlisle smiled a bit when he said the last part.

The Cullen's left soon and I spent some time spraying the house with air freshener after opening the windows. "Yuck they stink! And now the whole

house stinks too!" my angry and disgusted comments made Jacob laugh and he put his arms around me "well I'm glad that you hate the smell of

vampire too." The mere thought of vampire smell made me make a face and Jacob's booming laugh sounded throughout the house. At last the smell

was gone and the pack was again inside the house, we were making dinner. Seth and Embry were trying to do the laundry – a thing they were failing

miserably at. From the kitchen you could see them try to find the right buttons and they had a big discussion as to how much soap they had to use,

this was the moment I decided to take over and within minutes I had done the laundry. Then Sam called and announced that there was dinner, he had

been helping in the kitchen because Emily had asked him to, and at first he had accidentally ruined the sausage but second time he had actually

gotten the hang of it. Charlie came through the door; he had been working all the day in Port Angeles with busting people who drove too fast "some

people just can't drive! I swear a man had trouble with parking the car in a space where two cars could neatly fit in without even touching but that

IDIOT hit the car in front of him and the one behind him after hitting the damn trash bin!" he looked like he was going to flop down on the couch any

minute. Then we told him about the Cullen's visit earlier today and he had a worried expression "maybe the new born army had something to do with

all the disappearing's lately. We've received a massive amount of calls where people have been reported as missing by relatives and friends. I'm

pretty sure that they are guilty in the mass murders that have swept through the whole area." He shuddered and a pained look flashed across his

face. Recently Charlie had had a lot of horrific and terrifying experiences as there had been a lot of unexplainable and evil murders and he had been

quite affected by each one of them. When such murder had been committed the whole pack had been there to talk them through with him and

sometimes he had broken down and cried in front of us, but no one thought less of him because of that. Sometimes Sam actually told me he admired

Charlie for his inner strength and the way he would show his feelings without worrying about what others thought.

In the past few days I had discovered something; Charlie was especially affected when the murderer had killed children or young people. "Bella each

time I see a dead child or a young person it breaks my heart. When I see them I can't help but fear that it will be one of you guys next time. If that

ever happens, I don't think I would survive, it would literally kill me." that was a thing he had brokenly confessed to me one night. That had made me

unwillingly imagine that my family had been murdered like that. My heart was shattered and I couldn't breathe as the images flashed by; Jacob lying

on the floor drenched in his own blood with cuts across his chest. His face had a look of faint surprise and pain.

In Sara's bedroom had the walls blood stains, and her bed sheet was colored red by the blood that slowly ran from her corpse. She clutched a doll in

her right arm and had her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Charlie sat on the sofa; next to him was the remote. His throat was slashed open by a knife; the murderer had sneaked in on him from behind and

killed him.

I gasped and clutched my chest afterwards. Without a word I hurried into the living room and breathed a sigh of relief; everyone was sitting there,

sound and alive as always. When I had explained to Charlie, he nodded with sad recognition.

Another normal month went by for us. We lived our life and trained with the Cullen's so we were prepared for the newborns. Jasper had all of us to

fight against him one by one. After each fight he gave us advices and told us what to work with in our technique's when we fought. Sara and Joshua

started dating slowly; they went to the cinema (financed by us, the parents), spent sunny days on the beach and just spent time together in general.

The babies started kicking a lot. They had a knack of turning, tossing and kicking whenever I moved. When they started to kick, everyone had to come

over and feel it so a lot of the time there was a hand on my stomach. Especially Charlie was very excited about this – he was happy to feel them being

so strong in their kicks and so full of life.

Then the peace was GONE!

One day I stood in the garden after coming home from school. The sky was cloudy but it was still a nice and warm day, the teacher had been in an

unusually good mood and had given the whole school free a few hours earlier despite the upcoming graduation in two weeks. Needless to say I was

doing a mountain of homework, but due to the strangely good weather I had decided to spend the time outside along with the rest of the pack. The

thing with being supernatural had its benefits when it comes to homework; you are a lot quicker than an average human being. So I had finished it

along with the others. Charlie had just returned from a fishing trip with Billy and he was carrying his fishing gear inside the house when a horrible and

disgusting smell swept over us; we all recognized it immediately as vampire stench. This was an unknown vampire's stench so like the pack I was on

my guards, looking for threats. Soon enough they revealed themselves to us and harsh growls sounded from the pack. "victoria." I snarled as I

recognized the red haired vampire. "Bella how are you? It's been a long time since we have talked." She said in a sweet voice, clearly faking

friendliness towards me. My answer was icy and cruel; "oh I'm fine but I have a little problem and that's you. Can't you just go away and leave me

alone? A reunion is something I wish to postpone for the two of us you know." A mock hurt was now clear on her face "oh I'm wounded by your

words dear." Her expression changed into a hard one and she looked at me "Let's get to business. I'm here to get revenge over James. A mate for a

mate, Bella." Laughter sounded from all of us and Victoria seemed confused "oh I'm sorry you didn't know, Edward and I have broken up and I have a

new mate. Victoria meet Jacob, Jacob this is Victoria." I gestured to Jacob without taking my gaze of Victoria. A look of shock and uncertainty was

crossing her face for a short moment before she composed herself "By the way Bella let me present you to my friends, this is Cory and this is Tyson,

Cory why don't you show what you can?" She asked a blonde guy, Cory, and he stepped forward smirking evilly.

The way he looked I knew he had something evil as his power, He looked at Sara and a dark shadow moved quickly towards her.

Scared I yelled; "SARA MOVE!" but she didn't hear me.

The shadow moved closer and my heart sped up in fear.

Then Charlie suddenly jumped in front of her and stood as if he was a shield.

The shadow hit him and a painful yell sounded from him as a deep gash opened across his chest and blood gushed out.

Another opened shortly after on his stomach but he still stood up.

His eyes were focusing on the shadow.

A bitter determination was apparent on his face and now I understood.

Horror filled me as I realized it; my father would sacrifice himself for us.

Then the very last part of the shadow like thing hit him and a painful scream came from him as a gash opened on his back and a flood of blood ran

along with the others.

Charlie fell on the ground and Sara screamed in fear…

So what do you think? Doesn't it just make you nervous? Well here is the deal; you leave a review or click on my profile where I will make a poll.

So here is the question: Should I let Charlie die, or should I make him survive? IT'S UP TO YOU!!

Another thing; no comments will mean that I will kill him.

See ya!!
