Anyways, long story short here we are 2 weeks later with chapter 10 Yay!! Please review, we are always open to new ideas**

Chapter 10

Charlie's POV

It had been a few years since Bella had changed me and I was glad I was able to be with her now. She's my little girl, if I would have left the world knowing she would be alone for eternity it would have killed me even more. Even after all this time she still had a distant look in her eyes, mostly when it came to things that reminded her of Edward. She would put on a happy face for me but I knew that she was still hurting emotionally after what he had done to her. Did I know what he did? Not exactly but if my little girl was hurt this bad over it, it must have been something pretty major.

I had been told that as a newborn I wouldn't be able to control my blood lust but I guess I got some of Bella's strengths in that area considering the smell of human blood wasn't exactly that appetizing. Maybe it could also be that helping people while I was human made me more aware of what not to do.

"Hey dad, I'm going to go out for awhile," I heard Bella say before walking out the door. I smiled as she made her way through the trees to the spot I knew she went to think near the lake. We had been staying in a small house in Alabama in the outskirts of town. Not a lot of people knew about the house so it was good for us, a lot of game was around us as well. Deer and the occasional grizzly lived in these parts.

I sat down in front of the TV and turned on the game, I somewhat liked having so much free time on my hands but it also got boring from time to time. We were just trying to lay low for a few years before going back off into the world, by then some people might have forgotten us and we could do a few human things like Bella could finish school and I could possibly take up a job. A small knock came from the door and I got up to answer it trying to think of who it could be. Who I saw wasn't who I expected to see but I was pleased nonetheless.

"Chief Swan!" Alice smiled ear to ear as she gave me a hug and I laughed at her enthusiasm before hugging her back.

"It's been awhile," I noted as I motioned her into the house. Her eyes skimmed over the house before she plopped down on the couch. She was always a good friend to Bella and I was sad to see her go when the Cullen's had moved the first time.

"I thought I would come by and visit for awhile, everyone says hi," she smiled as I sat down in the chair opposite of her.

"What about Edward?" I asked uneasily as she reverted her eyes to the floor.

"I haven't seen him in about five years honestly. After everything happened in Italy..."

"You were in Italy?" I questioned surprised to learn this new information. Had Bella been in Italy when it all happened? She just nodded her response.

"I tried to talk some sense into him but he said it was better this way, he wants Bella to live a normal human life," she explained looking me in the eye.

"Well, obviously she isn't human," I stated leaning back. What exactly had happened between those two? I wasn't exactly happy with Edward and I would give him a piece of my mind if I ever laid eyes on him again.

"He doesn't know that she was changed, he has been away from the family since everything has happened. It's all falling apart Charlie. It's as if she was what held us together but now everyone is off doing there own thing because they are truly afraid of what will come into the open when we are together. Esme and Carlise miss Bella very much as do I but I know she can't face Edward with what she believes to be true," she looked to the ground and I read between the lines.

"Are you saying that what Bella believes is a lie?" I questioned as she nodded once more and that's when we heard the growling coming from the lake, "Bella!"

I jumped out of my chair and ran as fast as I could pushing Bella behind me as I glare at the two male vampires standing in front of us, obviously they weren't vegetarians.

"Why have you come here?" I growled as the two looked to me. They didn't answer me but the look on their faces told me everything I needed to know, they wanted Bella. Alice moved beside Bella and touched her arm causing Bella to give her a small smile as they watched the scene unfold before them.

"No need to be so uptight old man, just wanted to show the young one a good time," the red head smirked as I looked both of them in the eyes. I felt something then, a power manifesting in my mind as I looked at the two. Their faces instantly fell grave as if suddenly put into a trance just by looking at me.

"You will leave my daughter alone and not come back to this place, say it with me," I stated and they repeated my words before I told them to get lost. They scampered backwards tripping over their own feel, which would have been quite comical if it were any other situation, before vanishing out of sight.

"Bella, are you alright?" Alice questioned as Bella turned towards the small pixie. She didn't bother to respond as she threw her arms around her neck and gave a small laugh. I knew Bella had been upset with Alice for awhile but she had told me she had forgiven her and she understood.

"Did you know this was going to happen to me?" Bella questioned as she finally pulled away.

"I didn't know it was going to happen, I saw you as one of us and I couldn't understand why but Jasper ran into Peter not too long ago and he apologized for what he did to you. After that I've been trying to track you down ever since but you never have a set decision so I never knew where to find you until I saw those two guys hunting you down. They have been falling you for about a week but it's okay now, your dad took care of it," Alice smiled to me before we all started to head back to the house.

We all settled in on the couch when Alice looked to me and grinned.

"You have a power! That was so cool," she squealed and I gave her a look that said I thought she was crazy.

"What she means is, you used something on those guys to make them go running with their tails between their legs," Bella said as I nodded my head.

"Carlise will be interested in this one, we could use it in the future if we have any problems," Alice mussed to herself.

"Problems?" I questioned her and Bella opened her mouth to explain this time. She explained about theVolturi and how they keep the peace if something should happen.

Once everything was explained and we were done making small talk Alice insisted on taking Bella out for awhile. It took some convincing but she eventually gave in when I refused to let her back in the house.

It had been about a week since Alice visited us and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. I was sitting on the couch watching the game on the flat screen and I assumed Bella had her nose stuck in a book as usual. I heard some people talking from about a mile or so away and heard Bella come running down the stairs.

"We have company," she stated turning towards the door. I followed her lead as she went to wait on the porch for whoever was coming.
