Chapter 4 Bella's POV
After I asked about the phone there was a knock on the door which was surprising considering it was dark outside and Piper confirmed it. "Who the hell is knocking on my door at 11 at night?" walking out of the room for a good minute while Phoebe handed me her cell phone.
I dialed the number on my arm but got no answer. Jasper said to call this number! What do I do now? These people are saying I'm adopted! Just then Piper comes back into the room looking agitated. "Bella, could you come downstairs? I think I found something that belongs to you."
Belongs to me? I follow Piper through the house to the front door and there stand two vampires who are still as statues. One is a tall man who looks like he could be Jasper except he's a little shorter and has muddy brown eyes. He's smiling, pointing at the other vampire, and holding a piece of paper that says "My name is Peter Whitlock- back up magic eight ball and all-around awesome guy- and this is my mate, Charlotte. We belong to Bella. We mean no harm. Just unfreeze my head and if she tells you otherwise feel free to blow us up, Ms. Halliwell." I look at the other vampire and she's about my height, with dirty blonde hair and holding her head like she has a headache. Piper does that jazz hand thing, but with one hand. Suddenly Peter's head is moving and his gaze lands on me. "Hey there little darlin' Jasper's on a plane, so his phone won't work, but no worries Char, and I are here." He looks down at his body and then at Charlotte. "This feels weird. Little darlin' can you tell your aunt here that we mean no harm and we're here to help?"
"Jasper didn't tell me you were stupid."
"Hey, I resent that!"
"They're fine Piper," I tell her. Piper jazz handed and they both came alive, and the first thing Charlotte did was smack Peter in the back of the head.
"Dang woman!"
"Next time bring your stupid self in front of Charmed One alone," Charlotte then turned to us. "I apologize for my husband here. Bella, I'm glad to meet you. Ms. Halliwell, I do give you my sincerest apologies for the loss of your sister."
"Thank you," Piper replied. She looked kind of antsy around them, but I couldn't blame her.
"Ms. Halliwell, we're Bella's bodyguards for lack of a better word when she is not with you. Just ask your husband and he will confirm that for you." Peter told her.
"Leo, could you come down here for a second?" Piper shouted. She still looked uncomfortable.
It took a moment, but Leo came running down the stairs. Once he got a glance at Peter and Charlotte all he had to say is "Why am I not surprised? Phoebe gets a premonition of Bella and Cold Ones, and Peter Whitlock is on our doorstep."
"Because I'm just that dang good. Jasper is on his way to Forks. Char, him, and I got her covered there. You won't have to worry about keeping her here the whole time and you know Char knows a thing or two."
"Peter should have been a white lighter before-"
"And I still will be, don't lie to the woman."
"Peter WILL be a white lighter eventually. Along with his company of friends. Bella will be perfectly safe at home with him. Almost as safe as she would be here. Charlotte was a witch before she was turned. She kept her powers but lost everything else. She can help train Bella at home. She's actually off a distant branch of the Warren line."
"Who's this Jasper person?" Piper asked.
"Someone who can hold off anything long enough for you to get there. Maybe longer." Leo said while looking Piper in the eyes. "Belthazor trained him."
Piper's eyes grew wide, but then got bigger and snapped to Peter as he said, "And he trained us."
Up until that moment, I felt like I was just a bystander watching a movie, but then I recognized the reality of the situation. I'm adopted. Victoria is coming after me. God knows what else is coming after me. Edward is still gone. My family is still gone. My biological mom is dead. I have this power. I don't know how far I am from home. Suddenly I started hyperventilating and tears were streaming down my face.
"Bella honey I need you to breathe for me," Piper said, but I couldn't see her face anymore.
"The things I do." I thought I heard Peter say. "Piper keep talking." I felt myself being enveloped in a cold embrace. It felt like him and so nice.
"Bella, I want you to breathe for me. In for 4… Out for 4… In… Out…" Piper was saying.
I could see my vision getting better and the panic attack drifting away. Peter was holding me, and Piper was looking into my eyes. Suddenly I was very tired a let out a yawn.
"It's 1 in the morning Leo could you take us back so we could get the little darlin' in bed?" Peter asked.
"I want to go to my mother's funeral, and I want to get to know you guys more," I spoke vehemently. I may not have known my mother, but something inside of me said I should honor her. Plus, I need to know more about my family.
"We'll make sure you're there, Bella. We're not going to lose you either, we just got you." Piper told me. "Why don't you come to say bye to Phoebe and Leo will take you home."
"What about Jasper? Won't he wonder why you and Charlotte are running around Peter?" I asked
"You just let me handle that sugar. Go say goodbye to your aunts." He replied.
After explaining everything to Phoebe, which was not easy, Leo 'orbed' (as I was informed it was called) Peter, Charlotte, and I just outside my window in Forks. Let me tell you orbing? Head rush. I got dizzy enough to need to sit down. Of course, I was told I would get used to it and that if Jasper, Peter, or Charlotte say so to shout Leo's name and he will be there. Then he told me goodnight and orbed away. Leaving me with Peter and Charlotte.
Charlotte turned my way with open arms and asked, "May I?" while looking at my window, making her question obvious.
I nodded my consent and said "Sure, but I'm not sure I can sleep after that whole orbing thing."
"One walkin', talkin' Xanax comin' up in 3… 2… 1," Peter says turning to look to the tree line just as Jasper burst through looking very confused. Before Jasper can say anything, Peter opens again, "I'll explain in a bit Major, but right now little darlin' here needs some sleepy time juju. Are we all in agreement?" Not even missing a beat. "Good. Char get her settled on up, Major let it loose."
All I did was say hi and thank you to Jasper and before I knew it I was sleeping peacefully.
