A/N: Breaking Dawn AU. Charlie POV.

Emergency Beta Service:

She's cold and hard—not my daughter.

"Edward!" He's down the stairs, lightning fast. "What the hell did you do? Where's Bella?"

"It's me," she says.

I shake my head.

"That baby. Who's child? What's happening?"

"Jake," Bella calls. "I need help."

Jake's dragging me by the wrist, making me sit on the couch. I can't breathe, can't think.

"Chief, they're freaks, but that's Bella. She's just—"

"I did what I had to," Edward says. "I never meant to hurt her."

"And the road to hell is paved with good intentions!" I stand, sprinting out of this horror movie.
