Chapter 7
The next morning Bella jolted awake wondering where she was and remembered she was at Mr Angel's house because she caused a fire back home and felt guilty about it as she looked at the time, nearing six thirty, 'she best get up' she thought throwing back the covers. It was a comfy big bed but not her own one and it felt strange heading to the bathroom which they managed to get working yesterday and wondered if her dad managed to sleep and his room was three doors away down and Connor's was two doors down to the right the place was huge and more like a hotel rather than a home the shower was great she thought coming out of the bath room. She then gathered her bag and headed out just as Connor came out of his room ahead of her "Hey" she said "morning"
"Hey did you sleep?" he asked waiting for her to catch up.
"Not really strange bed comfy enough but I was worried about home and how long it would take to fix the place" she said as they headed down stairs to the kitchen where Charlie and the others were at breakfast and all looked up as they entered with the nice smelling of food that Darla had made sausages and bacon that made her belly rumble.
"You must be hungry" she said handing her a plate full of food "We will be going hunting soon after breakfast and we have given Charlie our mobile numbers incase you need anything" as she drank something from a mug.
After breakfast she and Connor headed out the front with Charlie who was going. to work whom also didn't sleep worrying about the house. At least he was still speaking to her as she felt 'he was quieter with her the day'
"Give him time, he has a lot on his mind like you" as if reading her mind as they drove to school as it was a Friday and she was rather pleased.
School went without incident though everyone asked how her house was and where she was staying all she could say was "not too much damage but were staying at his place They seemed rather surprised but didn't ask after that considering they were getting to know Connor apart from his 'vampire secret' she thought as the last class of the day finished for the weekend.
After classes ended they went grocery shopping and Connor managed to get some tins of dark blue paint, no one was home when they arrived later than normal. There was a not on the desk at the front of the house saying they had gone camping for the weekend and Charlie would be working late. So it was only her and Connor all weekend, Charlie would be working during the day but home late and she was a bit worried 'he was doing too much and wondered if he was avoiding her' the thought left her mind as the timer went off for the pizza's as she was 'rather hungry'. The workmen wouldn't be there either until Monday. She felt a bit afraid of just being the two of them in the huge house as she wasn't used to it. "Arn't you scared of being on your own in this ig house" she asked him as they tucked into pizza and watched tv in the living room relaxing and had their homework out which they decided to do the now rather than leave it so they had all weekend without worrying about the time. She found him rather helpful with the homework and found herself enjoying it. He told her"he wasn't afraid of being on his own he was used to it at the weekends and nights"
They were in the middle of homework quote late as she yawned and her dad walked in about 11.37pm "hey" Charlie said looking tired taking off his coat.
"Goodness is that the time" Connor asked looking at his phone. "Would you like some pizza, we've been busy doing homework?" he said closing the book.
"No thanks I had something at work, I'm rather tired so I am going to head up to bed"
"Same here" she said standing up, yawning and stretching.
"I'm gonna stay up a while longer as I go to bed a bit later" he said changing the channel.
"Okay" she replied, following Charlie out of the room quietly.
Back in her room Bella got into her pjs and pulling the covers back she went to bed but found herself listening to the noises about and it was pretty hard to fall asleep as her mind was full of Connor and homework, she thought as she dozed on and off listening.
The next morning 6am sharp she opened her eyes feeling tired as she tossed and turned all night, not feeling 'very safe with the threat of Victoria and Angel, Darla and spike gone she was worried about her trying something again, as Connor was not a vampire' getting in the hot shower which woke her up a little. She didn't need to get up so early the day but wanted to. Going out the room and back down stairs with no sign of Charlie, she found Connor asleep on the couch with the tv still on. Not wanting to wake him, she headed to the kitchen and put on some toast and decided to try a cup of coffee when Charlie came in "Hey" she said smiling. He smiled going straight for coffee. "Morning"
"Is it I didn't really get any sleep the house is too big, Connor is on the couch in the living room"
"Me neither, though it will be a couple of days before we are aloud back home" he replied taking a drink. "See you later tonight" he said putting the cup in the sink.
"I might be in bed early or I might go back to bed in a while" she said biting into her toast. Suddenly feeling uneasy and had a bad feeling that something wasn't right. Shivering, she wandered back to the living room quietly and Connor was still asleep so she wandered back up to her room and closed the door behind her and still had the bad feeling all over and she couldn't work out what was causing her to feel this way. Sitting on her bedside decided to lie down fully dressed onto of her covers getting comfy.
She must have dozed off as a knocking sound woke her up, "come in" she said groggily. Connor peered round the door.
"Hey sorry were you asleep"
Nodding she replied "I must have dozed off what time is it?"
"1.35pm in the afternoon" he said looking at his watch.
"Don't worry I've been asleep most of the day as well, it's lunch time, you hungry?" he asked.
"Yes" she said getting up and following him out of the room and to the kitchen that had a nice smell of food when someone rang the door bell.
"Who can that be?" Connor asked rather confused as they both were not expecting anyone as they went to answer.
Opening the door they were both surprised to see her friend Jake there, "Jake" Bella gasped rather surprised.
With Connor not liking him on sight and he could secretly tell he was becoming a wear wolf which disturbed him and wondered if Bella knew about it 'maybe not' he thought "can I help you?" he asked glaring.
"This is my friend Jake" she said smiling. "What are you doing here how did you find me?"
"It wasn't easy to find the place there is a not on you'r door saying where you would be staying, plus your dad told my dad" said Jake smiling.
"Nice house"
"Thanks, we are just about to have lunch" Connor said not smiling.
"Room for one more" he asked.
"Sure" sure she replied pushing Connor gently to the side.
"This place is huge" said Jake following them in.
"Thanks it was mum's idea she has expensive taste and quite cheap though more expensive to fix the place up" Connor replied as the timer went off for the oven.
Bella spent the afternoon with Connor and Jake who were getting to know each other and she felt quite pleased though the bad feeling had stayed with her the whole day as she listened to their conversation with interest until Charlie came in round about seven pm and was surprised to see Jake there. "Well I best be going" he said standing up and giving Bella a warm hug and shaking Connor's hand who was wondering 'if he should tell Bella and Charlie about Jake though he could tell Bella but not Charlie as he thought he couldn't handle another secret to keep the thought was playing on his mind the whole time he was there and he also wondered how his parents would react to more ware wolfs in Forks'
So they spent the rest of the evening watching football with Charlie who had a beer after work and general chit chat about things. They could go home in a few days which was a relief for them but a bit worrying for Bella who was starting to feel as though she was being watched and she kept looking out the window but couldn't see very much as it was dark now.
After a while Charlie dozed off on the chair rather a bit drunk and Bella put a blanket over him and went with Connor up to her room when he asked a weird question "what do you know about wear wolfs?" as she sat on the Side of her bed.
"Not much" she replied confused looking at his serious expression on his face.
"Be careful around Jake" he said.
"Why?" she asked worriedly.
"You will work it out eventually, just be careful" was all he could say before wandering back to his own room for the night, leaving her to stare at the door as he closed it.
Early the next morning, Bella thumped the bed with her hands in frustration as she had tossed and turned all night worried about what Connor had said about Jake, so at five am on a Sunday morning, she got up and had a shower and dressed ready for he day. Yawning, she wandered over to the door and looked about the hallway no one in sight. She was about to knock on Connors door but decided agains it as it was too early and wandered down stairs to the front of the house on the way to the kitchen. She was about to open the door when strong hands grabbed her from behind one hand covered her mouth so she couldn't scream and something was put forcefully over her head and everything went blank.
A couple of hours later Charlie was knocking on Bella's door as Connor gotten up as well. With silence from Bella he opened the door to see the bed empty. "Must be down stairs" he said and walked Connor down. When they got to the front of the house they noticed the front door was wide open and no sign of Bella any where they began to panic after searching the house and calling her name and phoning her mobile which was going to voice mail. The last resort was Connor calling Angel, Spike and Darla to come home early several more hours later.
"Someone's been in here I don't recognise the smell" said "Angle I'll track the scent" he said quickly leaving.
"Oh" said Charlie rather shocked 'a stranger may have Bella' he thought worriedly, "she could be anywhere by now" he said as Darla handed him a glass of water.
Meanwhile Bella was coming round, peeling one eye open she opened the other to find herself on a bed, in a darkish room. Adjusting her eyes to the dark she bolted awake and looked about. She appeared to be in a room with two single beds and a man asleep on a chair opposite her. She had no clue who he was but she felt really scared seeing him there. Standing up very quietly she dared stepping passed the man to the door, she was about to reach for the lock when "don't you dare" as he grabbed her and pulled her back to the bed.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I know Angel and I want revenge after he killed my brother"
"Where am I?" she asked him.
"Don't worry your still in rubbish town Forks, I want him to find you, I am surprised he hasn't already" he said sitting down.
"He is away camping, you picked the wrong time, he won't be back until tomorrow" she said worriedly when the door to the room burst open and Mr Angel stood there looking rather angry.
"I've found you, I've searched the town" he said coming into the room. "Who are you?" he asked as he beckoned Bella to move beside him.
"Don't you remember me you killed my brother back in LA a few years ago Angel I want revenge and she is the way to get it?" said the man blocking Bella's way.
"Not gonna happen" as Angel quickly came forward and grabbed the man by the neck and moved it really fast so that his neck was broken causing Bella to try and stop a scream escaping, as the man fell to the ground with his head twisted round the other way.
"Go back home, the others are waiting for you, I'll deal with this" he said bending down.
Unable to speak, Bella hurriedly walked past and went out the door to the cold and slight drizzle of rain outside. She was wondering how she was going to get back to the mansion when she spotted her father's police car driving faster than normal with Connor and Darla in the back. Shivering, she was rather pleased to see them as her dad pulled up beside her and he got out looking relieved to see her. "Bella" he said, quickly coming out giving her a hug which caused to to cry. "Mr Angel's in the room" she mumbled into his shoulder, as Darla and Connor got out and Connor rushed into the room. "Not there" he said loudly standing in the door way. Causing Bella to pull away and looking. Then Darla stepped forward going her another hug and guiding her to the car. Bringing out a blanket and wrapping it around her making Bella feel warmer and slightly better she went in the back seat and Darla got in beside her.
"What happened are you alright?"
"He wanted revenge for his brother" she said taking a drink of water which she gave her. "He didn't do anything but I think he could have if Mr Angel hadn't snapped his neck"
"So he's dead" She asked.
"Yes" Bella replied feeling rather funny.
"Um Charlie I think we need to take Bella to hospital as she's suffering from shock" said Darla rolling down the car window.
"Oh right" said Charlie whom was speaking to Connor. Took one look at Bella and hurriedly walked back to the car as Bella was slumped again's Darla with a slightly grey colour to her pale face.
"I'll try and find dad" Connor shouted and headed off, as Charlie buckled his belt and turned on the blue lights and noise so they could go quickly.
Less than half an hour later Darla stepped out the car and helped Charlie bring out an unconscious Bella. "I can't come with you" she said "The smell of blood"
"That's okay I understand you wait here" he replied carrying his daughter to the doors of the hospital shouting for help as nurses came forward asking "what happened?"
"Don't know" was all he could say "found her like this" placing her gently down on the hospital bed with doctors and nurses asking lots of questions rushing her away to be examined not letting him go with her. So he had to wait a long time in the waiting room. He was dozing off when a figure was standing in front of him. "Oh" he gasped wakening up looking. "Mr Angel where did you go?"
"Hey" he said smiling slightly any news he asked handing Charlie a cup of tea with lot's of sugar. "Any news?" changing the subject.
"Not yet" as a doctor came forward and both stood up.
"Hello I am the doctor, we have sedated your daughter and gave her another injection for the shock. It appears her system has gone into shock, do you know what happened to cause this"
"Oh, no we found her like this in her room, she was recently mugged at the school it could be related to that" Angel replied as Charlie couldn't think of anything to say.
"Can we see her?" he asked.
"I am afraid not she will be out of it for a while you best get home and rest maybe bring her some clothes and stuff from home in the morning" said the doctor as they left.
"Where's Darla?" he asked noticing car empty.
"She's gone home it was a long time to wait" said Angel.
"Need a ride?" Charlie asked Angel, noticing the mud stains on the bottom of his trousers wondering 'if he got them from camping'
Angel nodded in response and getting in the passenger side.
"You have mud on your trousers" he asked starting the engine and driving off.
"Got them from camping" lied Angel.
"So who took Bella is he gone?" he asked him trying to concentrate on the road.
"He was wanting revenge for something that happened a while ago that was an accident that was never meant to happen" 'another lie' thought Angel.
"Has he left or something?"
"Scared him off" replied Angel.
"Oh okay good" said Charlie wanting to ask more but didn't want to make him angry so the rest of the journey was just general chit chat.
