A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this story with Elena Rain. Enjoy this next chapter.

Silence, that's all that could be heard in the Cullen house as the females waited for the men to return. Bella was going crazy not knowing. She hated being human. At least if she was a vampire she could communicate with the other telepathically. Suddenly the front door opened and Alice said "They're here." Bella saw Edward and called out to him.

"Ed…."

She was cut off as he walked right passed the room not even coming in to say hello. Carlisle walked in.

"How are you feeling Bella?"

"Fine, tell me what happen." She answered.

"There was a small fight but nothing too violent. Both Jacob and Edward are fine. No harm done. Now how are you really?"

"Why is Edward ignoring me?"

Carlisle sighed. "He is angry that he was pulled away from the fight and he doesn't want to take it out on you and scare you. Just give him some space. He'll come talk to you when he is ready. Now please tell me how you are really feeling."

"I want Edward but other than that I'm fine. I talked with Esme and Rosaline and they shared their stories with me. I feel better now."

"Good I'm glad. If you need anything just let me know."

"I will Carlisle and thank you."

"I'm not going to lie to you Bella. I think Jacob deserves to be punished for what he did. Just not in the way Edward wants. We are still going to confront him again. That might actually involve us banning him from ever seeing you again."

"I understand that. I'm ok with that."

"Good. Now just get some rest."

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Where is Jacob now?"

Carlisle Shrugged. "I have no idea."

Over at the Swan House, Charlie was cleaning his gun when there was a knock at the door. He cocked his gun and went to answer it.

"Ah Jacob good to see you Son. Please come in." Charlie said.

Jacob walked in.

"Would you like a drink?"

"No. I'm actually here for Bella."

"What about her is she all right?"

"No, she was attacked by Edward."

"Repeat." Charlie growled.

"Edward attacked her. She was badly hurt but is still with him because he said he was really sorry. I think it's best to get her away from him."

"I agree with you. Let's go."

"Right behind you."

Jacob smirked and thought "You will be mine Bella just you wait."

Back at the Cullen house Edward had finally gone back to see Bella. They were sitting on his bed cuddling. It was the only way Bella would rest, was resting in Edward's arms. Edward was telling small jokes making Bella giggle. Suddenly Edward tensed and growled.

"Edward what is it?"

All the Cullen's ran in.

"What is he doing here?" Edward asked.

"I don't know but he is not alone." Carlisle said.

"What is Charlie doing here?" Esme asked.

"Charlie? My dad is here but why….oh no he didn't. Carlisle you can't let him take me please I can't go with him." Bella cried.

"Bella what did Jacob do?"

"He told my dad Edward hurt me. Now he is going to take me away from you guys for good." Bella clung to Edward as tight as she could. "Carlisle please, please don't make me leave."

Carlisle left without another word.

"We will do what we can to keep you safe Bella just stay here and try not to worry." Esme said.

She too left the room.

"Edward!" Bella whimpered. "Please don't make me go with him."

"We will do what we can Bella I promise. Your father is the Chief of Police and your father he has the right to say what happens to you."

"I'm scared." She whispered barely even speaking at all.

"I will not leave you. Even if Charlie takes you away Alice will be watching yours and Charlie's every move."

"But she can't see passed the wolves."

"No but she can see Charlie and he decided to leave you alone with him we will know and I'll be there before he can hurt you I promise. I've never broken a promise to you before I don't plan on starting now. "

"Ok, I believe you."

"Good. I love you."

"I love you too."

"They're coming." Edward said.

Carlisle and Esme walked in with Charlie and Jacob. Every Cullen tensed when they saw Jacob.

"Ok Bella I have heard two different stories from two different people. So I want to hear your version."

"I told you Charlie she is going to lie to save Edward."

"I suggest you stay quiet and let Bella speak." Carlisle said. "Edward stay calm. Lashing out will only conclude Jacob's story. Jasper can you make sure everyone in this room is calm"

"Ok, here is what happen…"

Bella looked at Jacob who was growling and giving her an evil look. Bella gulped. "Um…Jake had been avoiding me and so he came to school to get me and he took me back to his house."

"So you skipped school?"

"Well yeah…"

"I told her we could talk after school but she insisted and her boyfriend couldn't get rid of her fast enough." Jacob added.

"Thank you Jacob. Continue Bella."

"Jacob and I went back to his house and we were just talking. Jacob was mad because I picked Edward over him and he started to throw thing and yell at me. I was going to leave but…but he grabbed me and threw me against the wall then I blacked out."

"So you don't know who really beat you?"

"Of course I do. I woke up and Jake attacked me. Then he left me at the end of the river. He left me there to die. He didn't care about me at all." Bella cried.

She turned and buried her face in Edward's chest. "He left me there all alone. I was cold and I was hurt and I was bleeding and I was scared. I was so scared."

"You were unconscious. You couldn't feel anything."

"How would you know that Jacob?" Charlie asked.

"Because I saw her but before I could get to her the Cullen's grabbed her. I swear it's like they've got super speed or something. Then I came right to you."

"Stop lying Jacob stop lying to him." Bella cried.

"Ok I've heard enough. Bella you are coming with me. I will not allow either of you near my daughter until I figure this out."

"But Dad!"

"No Bella you are coming home with me now."

"Go Bella. I'll be in your window after he falls asleep that's a promise."

Bella nodded. Charlie lifted her bridal style and left the house. Jacob smirked at Edward. Edward growled.

"You will not win this Jacob. Charlie will learn the truth and then you will go to jail." Edward said.

"We will see Bloodsucker."

Jacob left the house.

"Carlisle what are we going to do. Charlie already hates Edward because we left Bella last year. He is going to side with Jacob for that reason alone. Jacob will scare Bella into changing her story. So what are we going to do?" Esme asked.

Carlisle sighed for the first time in his life he didn't have the answer. "I don't know Esme. I really don't know."

The Cullen's looked at each other. They had promised Bella they'd protect her. How could they do that with Charlie agreeing with Jacob?

A/N YES, I KNOW BELLA IS 18 AND LEGALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO HER FATHER! FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY SHE DOES AND SHE WILL! Will the Cullen's be able to save her in time or will Jacob get the girl? Leave me your thoughts in a review!
