((I bet you think that you know what's going on with Bella. Don't lie, you do don't you? NOPE. Muahaha. You won't expect this.))

Chapter 21

"Bella, why hasn't anyone told me you've been found? Are you okay?" Charlie spoke frantically and frenzied. Of course the Cullens couldn't tell Charlie exactly why, but the cover story was going to be difficult.

"Dad, I'm fine really. Or at least getting better. Before I was…." I studdered. I was a terrible liar and this wasn't going to be any different. Stumbling on my thoughts, I hear Carlisle stepping up beside me.

"That's my fault Officer Swan, we found Bella about a couple of months or so ago. The state she was in, she was catatonic and every time she managed to make progress to recovery, the smallest thing would send her back. I thought it would be best to limit human contact to those that absolutely needed to be next to her." Carlisle said it so smoothly he had to have planned it. Charlie looked like he bought it.

"I understand. I'm just glad she's safe now. I was sure this was going to be a pointless visit. Are you ready to come back Bella? I miss you." My dad looked so lonely. He never opened himself up this much before and it hurt to realize that I could never be close to him again.

"I miss you too dad." I felt tears rolling down my cheek. Charlie looked puzzled.

"Bells, you're crying blood." He said shocked. Putting my hand to my eye, I draw back bloody fingers. Next thing I know is I felt a jolt where my heart used to beat. A familiar thump sounds and then I black out once again.

((I know, it's cruel to have such a short chapter. But I don't feel guilty. After all I just updated like 3 hours ago. This helps set up Bella's 'special' problem.))
