Chapter 4

Monday morning had come and Bella got up bright and early feeling stronger and much better, Connor came and picked her up just after breakfast with a big smile and a bunch of flowers which he handed them over to Charlie 'who clearly liked Connor much better than...'

Pushing the thought away from her mind she concentrated on the road ahead, and trying to pay attention to what he was saying, "mugged in the school car park and there was now a security guard paced at the door of the school until all the students left for home."

"Oh thats good" she replied smiling as they finally reached the car park full of students and her group of friends who noticed them, and were waving annd everyonne was staring at her as she got out. It was hugs from her friends and they seemed to believe the story 'of being her being mugged' she thought noticing the security guard in uniform standing by the entrance way. 'It made her feel safer in some way but she was alright with Connor by her side'

Apart from struggling to keep up with what the teacher was saying, things went okay for her first day back and was surprised when Connor sat next to Eric so the seat next to her was still empty and was relieved when the bell rang at the end of the day, she felt drained of energy and rather tired as she got in Connors car. "Do you want me to take you home or do you want to come back to mine?', Connor asked "The house is starting to look a little better am in the middle of decorating my bedroom" he said starting the car.

"Um just home will do i feel tired after that thanks"

"Maybe tomorrow" then he said, concentrating in pulling out of the parking space.

"yeah, i need sleep" she replied looking out the window.

"Once the house is finished mum wants to plan a big house warming party anyone is invited" he told her.

"Oh are you sure that's wise, you know?" looking at him sideways.

"yes we want to get to know the towns folk, well it's mums idea anyway, so people don't think were strange or different from them"

"Okay good i hope to come" she said yawning.


Once home Charlie had finished work as they stopped. opposite the house." Do you want to stay for dinner?" he asked.

"No it's alright i must get more paint for my room, i usually eat a bit later so am not really hungry" Connor replied.

"I'd love to see the place when it's done, your mum has a good taste" as Bella walked beside him.

"Were throwing a house warming party once it's finished"

"Cool i'll bring beer" said Charlie waving as Connor drove away.

"He 's a good kid" Charlie said as they went in the house.

"Yes, i know" said Bella heading up stairs.

"You wanting some dinner?"

"No I'm rather tired i think i will just go to bed am rather tired, it's been a long day" she replied.

"Okay" said Charlie going back to the kitchen to make something for himself.

Once in her room Bella put down her bag and lay on top of her bed not bothering to take off her clothes and turned on her back thinking about her day before she dozed off.


Not sure how long she had been asleep, but something had woken her up, blurry eyed, she looked about her room and saw it was night time when knocking sounds came on her door. "Come in" and got a surprise when Darla opened the door with Charlie behind her, she had a tray of hot food. You really should eat something scolded Darla smiling. "It's been since lunch time since you have eaten, it's now after 9 pm"

"Oh, I didn't realise the time" she said as her belly growled with hunger at the nice smell of food as she sat up. "Nice thanks" she said as Darla came in and placed the tray down.

"I'll leave you two to it" Charlie said going back down stairs.

Nodding, Bella tucked in as Darla sat at her desk.

Darla stayed once they finished speaking about some part's of her life and how old she actually was but left out the part about her son Connor and Angel was a lot older than her and Bella was rather shocked and thought about her story all night.


The next morning after being awake all night, Connor came and picked her up at the same time as the day before she felt restless as she buckled her seat belt and it started to rain heavily as they went on their way. She still felt restless through out the classes today and 'didn't know why and had a really bad feeling all day as well'

Once she finished her classes for the day without something happening she was rather surprised to see her dad in his car waiting out side. "What's he doing here" she asked Connor.

"Don't know"

"Hey" said Charlie rolling down the window, "Mr Angel has invited us to dinner at your house so i'm taking you to their place"

"Oh" she gasped, rather worried.

"I didn't know about it" said Connor. "I'll follow you"

"Sure" Charlie said as Bella got in the police car.

The drive there took a while as Charlie drove the speed limit unlike Connor who drove quite fast had to drive the same speed.


Eventually pulling up outside the big mansion with work men about and vans they got out and Darla and Ange greeted them with Connor coming behind them. "I could really use your bathroom if you have one?" Charlie asked.

"Oh sure we did the bathroom first it's not finished but toilet works" Darla replied. "It's through that door to the left" pointing to a door ahead.

"Thank's" he said walking away as Darla showed her to the almost completed living room with a really big tv on the wall and several chairs about the large room which had a lovely grey carpet freshly laid that day.

"Where's Charlie" she asked a short while later just as Angel wandered in. "He's wandered off to the kitchen, it's this way"

As Bella was following Angel she banged into his back when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

And she heard Charlie ask "why do you have a blood bag?" as she peered round Angel she saw her dad holding a blood bag full of blood.
