Chapter 17
I thought id try and update for you guys. Ive got a lot going on in my life, and its all just falling apart around me. I'll see when I can update over the summer, but don't expect anything everyday. I've already been booted off of fanfiction by my mother.
Charlie's POV:
I am currently in Forks, Washington, looking for the Cullen house. The people who ran Newton Outfitter's told me they live in the big white mansion at the top of the hill of the main road. The lady also said it would be hard to miss considering they had a lot of really nice cars sitting in their front yard. I have been looking for five hours and hadn't found it quite yet and I was getting annoyed.
Oh, wait I found it and it only took me eight hours. That lady was an imbecile. "oh you cant miss it, if you do, then what the heck are you doing in a ton the size of Forks? " She failed to mention that there are several houses off of the main road.
Well now that I've found it I guess I should start looking for Bella
---------
I have been sitting here for hours; in the mud, rain and cold. I had yet to find my daughter. I don't understand why she was taken from me. Sure I hit her a few times, and forced her to have sex with me, but why did the judge see me as an unfit parent?
I see someone!!
Unfortunately the only thing I could see was her shadow, so I couldn't figure out who it was. Looks like im going to need some help with this.
Ringtone
1-869-7653(please do not call this number, I don't know where it goes or even if its real!)
"Hello this is James, leave your name and number and ill call you back when in get the chance"
Damn james and his phone, which he never answers anyway.
"Hey James, its Charlie Swan and I need you to call me back at 1-951-833-2449 (ok, you can prank call this number. It's not mine, but someone I know. If you do let me know about it! Please!) as soon as you can. I need your help with something."
Now I get to sit back and wait.
Bella's POV:
I was sitting at the table playing Scrabble with Alice and Edward. And all night I had felt like someone was watching me. I couldn't shake it and it had been with me all day. I was getting agitated. I was sure someone was watching me.
"Edward I'll be right back" please don't ask where I'm going, please, please, please.
"Where are you going?" dang it! Always the overprotective one.
"Um, outside?" that sounded more like a question than an answer. and now he's going to want to come with me.
"ok, can I come?" I bet he could see my face. I don't want him to come. "Can I at least stand at the door? Please?"
Ok, at least he didn't say he was coning with me. That's an improvement.
At dinner, Carlisle told me that I could go to Fork's High, and as soon as he said that Edward got really tense, and asked to be excused. I have no idea why and nobody will tell me what's going on.
It was cold and raining(haha no surprise), there was a forest almost in the backyard. And for some weird reason I felt like someone was in them.
Just looking at the forest, though dark and menacing made me realize that true beauty comes from struggle. I just hoped I could keep that in my head. As I was standing out in Esme's rose garden, I heard a distant "snap" come from somewhere in the middle of the forest.
And speak of Esme, and she shall appear. "Bella sweetheart, come inside, it's too cold and wet out there!"
Oh well. I didn't find out what it was today, but there is always tomorrow.
Edward's POV:
When Bella had asked to go outside, I got suspicious. I had been really tense all night. At dinner I felt that something was off, out of place. Now Bella wanted to go outside in the rain. My only question was why?
I was so happy for Bells being able to go to the high school, y thand when Carlisle said she could, you could feel her excitement. She was so excited that she knocked her chair over and fell. Emmett couldn't stop laughing…and well neither could i(or the rest of the family) and by the Time she was able to fix her chair, her face was bright red. It was quite a site, and she was really cute.
---two weeks later---
Bella was officially enrolled in Forks High and she was in all of my classes, and I was taking senior level classes. At the rate we were going, wed be done with high school this year. I was shocked, but then again I didn't know what she learned from Esme. The last two weeks had been weird. I still felt like someone was watching me, and I didn't understand why I couldn't shake it. And deep in my bones I knew something was going to happen.
"Ow, oh hi pole, its nice to run into you on a day like this" why wasn't I paying attention?
"Ok class, take out your books and begin reading chapter 2 of A Tale of Two Cities. Quiz tomorrow"
Yeah! Looks like a plain old boring day in English.
Charlie's POV:
It's been two weeks. Two weeks of intense planning and extreme patience. Everything was almost ready, All we needed to do was some finishing touches, then we could put our plan into action.
Until then the only thing I could do was sit and wait.
James POV:
What the heck!! Why in the world would a police chief call me? How am I supposed to know I wont get in trouble??
Why does this guy want me to do this anyway? What could the poor girl have done to him?
I cant believe I even let Charlie talk me into this! This is sooo wrong. Yeah yeah I know I wanted to do this as a kid, and that I begged my father to let me do what I want. But never in my entire life had I ever thought of doing this.
Everything that I am about to do is wrong; In both my eyes and gods. I still can't believe that I'm doing this. How did I get talked into this by a police chief?
How is it that I have done the same thing for twenty years and never realized how wrong it is? Why did this assignment make me open my eyes?
Now that I've gotten myself into this mess. How can I get myself out? How can I make sure that little girl stays alive?
This is going to be an interesting assignment.
