Char's POV

I got back to Bella's house and since I couldn't really go in I decided to wait in the tree line where I knew Peter had gone in. Not knowing how far they would have to go, I had no clue as to how long it would take them to get back.

I did know they couldn't hunt in Forks, or even Port Angeles. I had a feeling they went to Seattle. There they could hunt, and check out a few things with the newborns. That meant an hour there and an hour back tops. That didn't include the actual hunt.

I probably had at least another hour before they would be back. My chest hurt, and I really needed my mate. I could handle it if I got busy with Bella. She suggested introducing Peter and I to her dad, and even came up with a cover story.

I was excited that she wanted to introduce us to her dad. It meant that we were important enough to her to include us in not only her own life, but to include us in her dad's life as well. She seemed to be the type of person that wanted everyone she cared about to know each other, and be a part of her life together.

We were going to go with the cover that we were friends and we met in Seattle. None of it was a lie. She also mentioned having Jasper meet her father as well. I had no idea how the Major would take that idea. But it meant she wanted him to be included in her dad's life as well. It was an honor that I had a feeling no one had had since the Cullens up and left Bella. At least she seemed to be more accepting of Jasper.

I was happy that the Major had finally met his mate. He knew what was going on, but she didn't. I was kind of surprised to hear that she was feeling the mating pull, and the pain of separation. I had never heard of a human feeling it, but then again, I never knew anyone to be the mate of a human.

Still, she was perfect for him. Feisty lil' thing she is. She's gonna give the Major a run for his money that's for fuckin' sure. She would not put up with his shit, just like I won't put up with Peter's. And, I let him get away with a lot of shit.

Still, I love im' and I know that Bella will come to love Jasper. Him, not being able to get to know her while she was with the mind sucker, will make it easier for her to forgive him. After all, she didn't know him very well, and why should it have mattered that he didn't say good-bye.

I had a feeling that things were about to get crazy. When she started asking about the tugging, I wanted to tell her what it was. But, Peter said that she needed to figure that out for herself. I can kind of understand his point.

Since she has a past with Jasper, she probably wouldn't take it well, or even believe it. I mean, why should she? If I had been in her place, I would probably be better off figuring it out myself rather than having someone tell me.

I was brought out of my thoughts by my cell phone going off. It was Peter, "Char, the Major and I are on our way back but you need to stick closer to Sweet Pea. We found a strange vampire scent that seems to be heading straight to Forks. We're runnin' as fast as we can, but babe, well, we think that maybe Bella was bein' followed by more than just us."

OH SHIT!

I didn't even think to be careful. I just fucking jumped out of the tree and took off like a bat outta hell. I quickly had to tell them what I had stupidly done. I left Bella to fend off a vampire by herself. I heard the Major roar, and that is never a good sign.

Great, now I not only had to worry about Bella being unharmed, but I had to worry about what the Major was gonna do to me if she has been in any danger while I was off in la la land, just sitting in a tree. But in my defense she did tell me that she wanted to be alone for a few minutes to think. Still, the Major wasn't gonna let me get away with leaving his mate in danger, alone.

I decided it would be best if I followed the road since this is the way her truck would travel to come home. She was already ten minutes past the time she should have been home. I hadn't known fear since I left Maria with Peter, but I was feeling it now. Not for myself, but for what I might find when I caught up to Bella.

I wasn't even trying to be careful that no human saw me. When I was about almost halfway back to the store, I rounded a corner to see her truck parked on the side of the road. I could now smell blood. Shit, shit, shit, oh fuck!

As soon as I got around to the other side I saw several things. The door to the truck was ripped off, there was a vampire I had never seen before, and I had arrived just as the vampire slammed the back of Bella's head into the tree knocking her out.

I was on him before the asshole even knew I was a comin'. The surprise was to my advantage and I was able to knock him away from Bella. Then the fuckin' coward jumped up and ran. Yeah, he's a big bad vampire when it comes to a human, but let a female vampire show up and he fuckin' runs like his ass is on fire.

I had a decision to make, either run after him and leave Bella alone or stay with her and make sure she's alright. I'm not fuckin' stupid, I decided that I needed to stay with her. It could be a trap, I go after him, and his friends go after Bella. Not gonna happen.

Not knowin' enough about human anatomy I was worried about touchin' her. I did do a light exam and saw that there were no broken bones, but there were a lot of bruises. I could also smell blood. It seemed to be comin' from the back of her head where the asshole knocked her head against the tree.

I knew what I needed to do but I also knew that I would be facin' the wrath of the Major. Still, it would be better for him to know that while she was hurt, at least she's safe for now. The vampire did manage to get away, but not with Bella. I pulled my phone out and dialed.

The phone didn't even get a full ring in before I heard, "Report!"

I quickly told them what I knew and that as far as I could tell there were no major injuries. I told them where we were, and the Major said they were about five minutes away. He told me to make it look like the truck went out of control, in case humans passed by and saw the truck, it needed to look like an accident, instead of an attack.

It only took me a couple of minutes to make it look like the truck went out of control and wrapped itself around a tree. I had to do it the hard way since the truck wasn't starting. Once I was satisfied I went back to Bella who was still passed out. This is where the Major and Peter found us.

The Major came to us and immediately took her into his arms. He looked her over and seemed to be relieved that at least she didn't appear to have any injuries. But in order to not raise suspicions we would need to do this through human means, especially since her dad was the chief of police.

We would call 911 and report an accident. This way Bella could be taken to the hospital and be checked out. Like we had already planned, we would be friends of Bella's that came with her from Seattle. Of course, Jasper would be a boyfriend. Peter said that since this would be a surprise for her dad, we would tell him that she didn't want to tell him about her havin' a boyfriend over the phone.

It would make sense for her to want to tell her father in person about her new boyfriend since he was part of the family that she seems to be angry with. I didn't know the whole story and neither did the Major but I have a feelin' that something bad happened after the family up and left. So, with that plan set up, I called 911.

I just hope that the ambulance would get here before her dad did. Since he was at home, it would probably take longer for him to get the news that his daughter had been injured. The Major tried to argue sayin' he would just take his mate some place to keep her safe. Peter was finally able to get him to see reason.

We didn't need her dad stirring up things and send out a huntin' party looking for her. The wolf pack was another reason to not just take her. They would come after us, and while none of us would have a problem killin' any of them, Bella would probably end up hatin' us for doin' just that. She seemed to care about their furry asses.

The ambulance came and we explained that we were friends of Bella that had come down with her from Seattle. The story was that she was on the phone with me when a deer ran in front of the truck. I know this because she yelled it out before losing control of the truck and hittin' the tree. She was thrown out of the truck, and had hit her head on somethin'.

Fortunately, the boys had the insight to have gotten a truck of their own so, the story was, we decided to try to find her before callin' anyone else. They bought it of course, and the police said that everything appeared to have happened pretty much like we told them.

They rushed Bella to the hospital, with the Major ridin' in the ambulance with her. They didn't normally allow that to happen, but Major has his ways of convincin' them to do things his way. He wasn't gonna leave her if he could help it.

Peter and I drove the truck, following right behind them. One of the officers said that he would stop by Charlie's and tell him about Bella. I knew things were about to get interestin', with Charlie not knowin' about us or the Major, Bella not knowin' about the fact that the Major and her were mates, and now the threat that had followed her here. That, mixed in with the fact that there were a bunch of dogs that wanted us as dog chow, and were friends with the Major's mate; yep, things were about to get real interestin'.

Charlie's POV

I was watching the game on TV but I have to admit, my mind wasn't on the game. Bella has been gone way too long to just be running to pick up a few things. I know her, and she never takes this long to get food and get back home. I was beginning to become worried.

I heard a knock on the door and as I went to answer it, I wondered why Bella would need to knock, unless her hands were full. But it wasn't Bella. No, one of my best officers was standing there. His name was Dan and I could actually see him taking my place someday, once I retired.

As soon as I saw him I swear, my heart stopped. I had done exactly what he was doing right now at least a few dozen times since I became chief of police. He was here to tell me that either my baby girl was hurt, or dead. Since he was able to look me in the eye, I'm pretty sure that she's not dead, yet.

Sure enough she was on her way to the hospital. Dan didn't know much except to say that if it hadn't of been for her friends, she might not have been found so quickly. Of course Paul, and some of the others must have met her, not having seen her for months now.

Dan knew Paul though and I was kind of confused as to why he wouldn't just tell me that Paul or some of the others from the rez had gone to meet her. I questioned him, and he informed me that these were friends he had never seen before with the exception of one.

What he told me made my blood run cold, and my temper run hot. He was pretty sure that the one taking care of my baby was one of the Cullen boys. He had never met them but then hardly anyone in town had ever actually met any of them, but everyone knew who they were when they saw them.

If it was one of them, there was going to be trouble. I was pretty sure that Edward had something to do with Renee and Phil's murders. Yeah, they were brutally murdered, and a neighbor described someone that had reddish messy hair, that sounds a lot like him.

Whoever these friends of hers were, they all went to the hospital according to Dan. If that bastard is anywhere near my baby girl, I'm going to forget that I'm the chief of police. Shit, I might even forget that I'm humane.

Every single one of those Cullens are responsible for nearly destroying Bella, and I'm pretty fucking sure that at least Edward was forcing himself on Bella, making her do things, and making her stay with him. I think he was threatening to do something to her mom and Phil, if she didn't do as she was told.

I heard him tell her many times that he didn't want her doing certain things because it was dangerous for her. I'm thinking that it was more like it was dangerous for Bella's mom. There had better not be a fucking Cullen anywhere near her.

I got to the hospital as quickly as I could. The receptionist told me what room she was in. Apparently, she was unconscious when they brought her in and she still was. I asked if her friends were still with her, and they told me that they were only allowing two at a time to stay with her.

As soon as I got to her room I noticed a huge guy standing outside of her door. There was something familiar about him, and it only took me a moment to figure out that he looked almost like one of the Cullens. He had the same "beauty", the same perfect features.

I asked him what he was doing and he explained that he was a friend of Bella's and had come down from Seattle with her along with his girlfriend, and brother. I asked him if he was one of the ones that found her and he just nodded yes.

I opened the door and my eyes fell immediately on Bella who was still out. I could see bruises on her arms, at least the part that was showing. I took a step towards her when I noticed a figure standing next to the bed on the opposite side from where I was standing.

As soon as I looked into his face, I knew, he was a fucking Cullen and I was going to mess him up royally for even being close to my baby girl. How dare he after what his fucking family did to her. I'm pretty sure that Bella didn't even know he was here, if she did, she would have kicked his ass, and sent him packing.

"What in the hell are you doing here, Cullen?" my voice sounded angry.

"Sir, I'm no longer a Cullen. I left the family shortly after we left Forks. The name's Whitlock, and I no longer associate with any of the Cullens."

"I don't care what the hell you call yourself. Your family nearly destroyed my daughter when you left her, without saying a word. Then, Edward decides that he needs to hurt her even more and kills her mother, and Phil, her step-father."

"Excuse me, my name is Charlotte and I'm a close friend of Bella's. Did I just hear you correctly? Are you sayin' that Edward killed them?"

I was getting even angrier and was almost yelling at this point, "I know for a fact that he did. He was threatening Bella, and decided to just go ahead and kill them anyway. While I don't have proof, yet, I do have a lady who saw Edward go in, and then come out a couple of hours later. They were found dead, the next morning."

I turned then and told Cullen to get the hell out of my daughter's room. The bastard had the audacity to growl at me, at least that's what it sounded like to me. Then he told me he wasn't leaving until, or unless Bella told him to. That was the last straw.

I headed straight for him with my fist ready to connect to his pretty face. Yeah, I was gonna fuck his ass up good. . .
