Part 3 - Meanwhile In Forks
*****Charlie's POV*****
While Bella was gone, he stayed put in the school, for somehow his friend Principal Greene knew all about this already, and came out of his office, and he stood up at the stage in the cafeteria, and said
"Everyone, our Janitor is bringing the tv for you all, for there is something I wish for you to see on it. And it has to do with Bella Swan, the chief's daugther."
"What about my daugther, Harold?" Charlie said in hard tone to his friend, and Harold said
"You will have to wait and see, but it is something I knew about and gave her permission to leave if ever needed, and she already got with her 2 weeks worth of homework to do while gone, Charlie."
With that, he went off the stage, as the Janitor brought in the TV, and like Charlie himself, the students were wondering what was going on, and why Bella of all people for.
And the Janitor plugged the tv in the wall, then turned it to the right channel, and before any of them could ask anymore, the tv now showed a huge crowd of people, and at the bottom of the screen it said;
"Funeral of the very esteemed actor and activist of the Native People across US; Russell Means age 72, today gets laid to rest. He died in his home by his family around him. Now today we others get to say our goodbyes to the one who played Chingachcook in the Last of the Mochicans, and also in Into the West production few years back, aswell other parts that he has acted on to be in movies and tv-shows alike. He will be dearly missed."
And with the reporter came on in view, and she said
"And here the family of late Russell Means comes in view, both his 7 biological and 3 adopted children are here with his wife; Pearl, and others that are friends of his, to celebrate and mourn of the loss of the most amazing, kind-hearted and loving father, husband and grandfather."
And with the camera went down to the crowd that walked infront of all the horses, and there on screen, all in the cafeteria saw none other Bella Swan, and she not only was crying but she was singing something, and was in a very beautiful designed Native attire, that made her look so differently if not to see her pale face stick out.
Many of them in the cafeteria gasped of this sight, and Charlie went redder than before seeing his daugther on screen, but also wonder why she was there in first place, and the reporter said while the camera was on the crowd;
"To you who don't know; first of them all to walk on the journey is his son; Tatanka Means, his wife Christine, behind them are the other siblings that I do not know the names of, but one of them I do, and that is Bella Means-Schweig, she is not only adopted by late Russell and his wife, Pearl some years ago, but also by Eric Schweig, who played Russell's son, Uncas in the Last of Mochicans production."
Many were shocked that her name was not Swan, but this Means-Schweig one, and soon the person who named Eric Schweig also came in view, and all was shocked that he too was a native man.
Charlie was not only furious now, but also hurt, that his own daugther got adopted by these two unknown men to him, dudes and not tell him that she was in first place nor her name had changed from his. How could she do this to him, and why?
"The only reason we know this much about her, is for her adoptive, older brother, Tatanka and their late father spoke so fondly about her when doing interviews on the carpet for different events, and she was or is more than OK with them talking about her as she felt it was time to be spoken about, but how she came to be apart of theirs and Eric' family is quite tragic and dramatic event, that Bella herself wants to tell one day. I only know this from my fellow reporter friends that took their statement about Bella and that she wanted to tell it herself how it came about. And that is something I can respect her for."
From there, the cameras went over to the crowd near the reporter, and Bella's very beautifully sounding voice singing some strange song in different language could be heard now and she had tears down her cheeks, but she kept on singing. Everyone was in shocked awe, as not one of them knew she could sing nor speak a different to them language nor that she was a part-native woman now.
Charlie sat in shocked anger and hurt of all this being shown and talked about, he wanted to know so badly what was the history behind her adoption of these two punkheads of natives, and his anger was also for he had planned for her to be wed with Jacob within this year, despite the age difference and that Jacob still was a child in the eyes of law, but he wanted Jacob in his family so badly now.
But now hearing all of this, and that one of the so-called fathers of hers was still alive, he had a battle to get her married off to Jacob Black, who had clearly a sick crush on the said girl since he could walk and talk, and follow her around like lost puppy dog. And when he looked over to the doorway to the cafeteria, there the said boy and his father was, and had seen and heard it all aswell from the tv, and were in shock.
But what none of them knew, was that Bella knew all about those sick plans of her life, and she planned to tell her family and Rick being there aswell friends of theirs, meant she would get the support of them to break away from the man who believed to this day she was his daugther. When she never was in first place, and how she found that out, well lets say alcoholic Renee before Phil came in the picture, was the one who told her that Bella was not Charlie's daugther, but someone else.
That someone was none other than Eric Schweig himself, not that Charlie knew any of this yet, nor the public as the two were planning to have it out in an interview in few days time after the funeral.
