AN: A quick note here. I think I might do what I've done with my Wolf Pack Series and make a vampire one. Speaking of my Wolf Pack Series, I think I will hang up the hat once I hit the 100 chapter mark.

Summary: During New Moon, Bella finds herself face to face with Laurent, but it's not the wolves that save Bella's life.

Bella took a step backwards as Laurent smiled down at her. "Laurent." Bella gulped. "I'm surprised to see you out here all alone." He answered, his red eyes making chills run down her spine. He walked forward, Bella freezing in place. "And I thought you were trying the vegetarian diet, but yet here we are." Bella stated, closing her eyes immediately, never once thinking she'd be so bold.

Laurent gave a growl, making Bella snap her eyes open. He zipped forward, standing closer. He let his icy cold finger slide down her cheek. "Victoria won't be happy about my killing you, but I can't help myself. You are so mouth-watering." He whispered, making Bella shudder. "Please...don't." Bella begged, closing her eyes.

Bella's hair on the back of her neck stood up, a feeling of electricity flowing through her veins. A slight landing of feet, and Bella suddenly found herself behind a man she didn't recognize. She was pulled flush against his back held his arm. He squeezed her hip gently, a sign for her to stay put.

"I'll be the only one doing the killing 'round here." He drawled. Bella noticed that he had dark brown hair, almost as short as Edward's. It was slightly curly from what she could see. She knew that he was definitely taller than Edward. He was wearing a short sleeved shirt, dark jeans, and cowboy boots. Her eyes raked over his body noting how muscular he was. She was also curious as to why a vampire she never met would be protecting her. Did he know the Cullens? Or was he there to kill her first?

"Captain Peter Whitlock...I thought you were..." Bella couldn't help out peak around Peter's arm, noticing the look of fright on Laurent's face. His red eyes were wide with fear. "Dead?" Peter asked. Laurent gulped nodding. Peter stepped forward and let out a laugh that sounded almost human. It was gruff, different from the musical bells she was used to. A chill ran down her spine as she realized how dark his laugh was.

"Now who in the hell told you that nonsense?" He chuckled. Bella sucked in a breath as he suddenly crouched in front of her, in a way where she would be hidden from a front attack. "But. The Major..." Laurent trailed off, backing up slowly. Peter interrupted him with a growl. "That was years ago. You're fucking with mine. This human is off fucking limits." Peter didn't say anything else as he lunged forward tackling Laurent quickly.

He put Laurent in a head lock, pulling his dreads, forcing his head back. "Call her." Peter growled. Bella just watched with interest as a random vampire defended her life. For now. Laurent shakily took the phone out of his pocket. He pressed 1 and put the phone on speaker. "This better be good." Victoria answered, making Bella's heart quicken. It was as if her tormentor was right in her ear. "T-The C-captain would l-like a word with you.." Laurent stuttered. "What the hell? The Captain is dead! Have you found the little human or not?!" Bella couldn't help but walk forward. Peter paid no attention to her, which made Bella a tad more confident for the moment, taking that as a sign that Laurent couldn't pull away and kill her himself. In fact, he seemed scared shitless.

"You sure about that sweetheart?" Peter asked into the phone, his voice deepening. Bella watched this vampire's face become almost devilish. Victoria was silent, not saying anything. "Peter? I-I..what's going on..?" She asked fearfully. Peter finally looked towards Bella, his eyes catching hers. Bella always thought vampires were beautiful as if they were sculptures but Peter was downright amazing. He wasn't model perfect but he'd pass for the sexiest human if he were. She got a good look at his face, his jaw line. His blood red eyes.

She took him in for the short moment and he gave her a wink, and then gestures towards the phone. He knew she wanted to say something. "I hope he kills you too." Bella stated simply. That's all she felt like she needed to say. Victoria growled. "I don't understand. That is my human! She killed James!" Victoria snapped. Peter just hummed and snapped Laurent's neck, pulling his head off.

Bella jumped a bit, staring wide eyes at his head. He picked the phone up and made his way towards Bella. Bella was frozen in place once again, as he stood next to her. "You know Victoria that a human can not kill one of us. James got himself into that mess with my retarded as fuck of a brother and his fucked up famiky. They killed James sweetheart. They are the ones you should be hunting, but you've seemed to have taken quite an interest in my human here. Haven't you?" He asked into the phone.

Victoria was silent, only her unneeded breathing was heard. "Tell the Cullens that once I'm done with you, I'm coming for them next." Peter ended the call and snapped the phone in half, taking out a lighter, setting Laurent's body on fire. Bella watched the flames rise high, her eyes briefly going to the head Peter kept.

Her eyes blinked up at this so called Captain Peter Whitlock. "You know Jasper?" She asked curiously, a distant memory at the last name. Peter glanced down at her, his red eyes piercing. He narrowed his eyes, and Bella took a hesitant step back, to which his eyes caught. He gripped her jacket, pulling her towards him. "Let's get one thing straight darlin'. You don't have to run or be scared of me." He drawled. Bella furrowed her brow, and nodded slowly, wondering why this livewire of a current was running through her.

His voice was a soothing rumble that would put Bella to sleep if possible. She swallowed slowly and glanced up at him, her eyes finding his red ones, which were looking down at her with emotions she couldn't decipher. "Two. Jasper is my sire. Like Carlisle is to the family. So yes. I know Jasper." He wrinkled his nose in distaste at the admission, making Bella cock her head to the side like a confused puppy. Peter could see the question on her tongue. He raised a finger to her lips, feeling the slight shock through his own fingertips. "I'll answer any questions you have, but first, I'd like to get you home. I really don't want to wrestle with dogs today." He responded with disdain.

"Dogs?" Bella asked, her mind wondering just what he could possibly be talking about. Peter just nodded and hummed. "Another story for another time. Lead me however you got here." He waved his hand forward, and Bella hesitantly turned around, leading him down the path she made over the last few months. They walked in silence, and Bella strangely felt safe around Peter, but had tons of questions. The first one was why he just saved her life.

At the pace she was walking, it took about 20 minutes to make it back to her truck. He first put the head in the bed of the truck and then waited for her to get in the driver's seat, and slid into the cab. He could feel Bella's eyes on him. "I'm not a speed demon darlin'. Do your thing. Like I said, I'll answer all your little questions." He patted the dashboard. "Please don't eat me." She whispered, forgetting for a moment that Peter has impeccable hearing. Peter just chuckled, deciding not to comment.

Peter watched the scenery pass by, none of it bothering him any. He was in the right place at the right time, and that's all that mattered. Bella pulled into her driveway, noticing Charlie's cruiser in the driveway. She put the car in park, and sighed. Peter glanced at her curiously. "What am I going to say when I bring a stranger home? Hey dad, this is Peter, a vampire who saved me from a vampire out to kill me, and the Cullen's were also vampires." She looked to Peter for an answer. "Yes." Peter responded.

Bella's eyes widened in shock. "What?" She asked. Peter got out of the truck, and waited by the hood. Bella cut the engine and got out as quickly as possible. "You can't be serious. Charlie can't know." She stated, grabbing his arm. She pulled her hand back at the slight tingle that ran though her arm. "Would it be easier for you if he did?" Peter asked her, turning to stare at the house. Bella nodded, hating to lie to her father about her life. "But he could be in danger." She protested.

"Here's another thing you should know. If you want it to happen, I'll make it happen. I'll protect him too if I have to." He turned towards her, looking her in the eyes, conveying the truth. "But why?" She asked. Peter lifted a shoulder. "You want it." He stated simply. Bella huffed at him.

"Well come on then." She mumbled, glancing back at him for a second. Peter watched his little thing walk ahead. He glanced at her from head to toe, frowning at her lack of nourishment but otherwise alright with how she was doing, but once he turned her, this would be nothing but a distant memory.

He walked behind her, watching her closely. She opened the front door beckoning him inside. "Dad?" She called. Peter closed the door behind him, listening to her father as he fumbled in his chair. "That you Bells?" He asked, making his way closer. Charlie appeared around the corner, glancing first at his daughter and then his brown eyes flickered to the man that stood behind her.

"You didn't tell me you were bringing guests." He stated. He looked at Peter curiously before walking forward and holding out his hand. Peter shook it, staring Charlie in the eyes. "Peter Whitlock sir." He introduced. Charlie seemed unnerved by his eyes color, just nodding. But his brow did furrow once realizing Peter's skin was ice cold.

"What can I do for you Peter?" Charlie asked beckoning Peter forward. Bella followed along nervously. Her heart was beating a mile a minute, something that made Peter a tad anxious.

Peter looked looked to Bella as he sat on the couch. "Charlie..can I call you that?" At Charlie's nod, Peter continued. "Do you believe in vampires?" He asked, leaning forward. Charlie just stared at Peter and then Bella who was standing near the edge of the couch biting her fingernails.

"Like Dracula?" He chuckled. Peter hummed and glanced at Bella. "Something like that. What if I told you that you were in a room with one?" Peter asked. Charlie scoffed, his brown eyes narrowing.

"I'd call bullshit. Who are you exactly?" Charlie asked, looking to Bella for some information. "Really? Are you sure?" Peter asked, capturing Charlie's attention once more. Peter leaned forward, his red eyes darkening to a burgundy color. In a blink, Peter was gone, making Charlie stand with surprise. For a second Bella was terrified for her father. What if Peter planned to kill them both?

Her heart quickened as she stared at Charlie, who was looking around frantically. "Where'd he go? What kind of trick is this?" Bella jumped slightly at Peter's lips barely touching the shell of her ear. "I already told you, you don't have to be scared of me." He purred.

He made eye contact with Charlie as he nuzzled Bella's neck with his nose. In a second, he and Bella were on the couch sitting down. Charlie sat down with a plop staring at Peter slack jawed.

"Bella...?" He questioned. She nodded softly. "It's all true. He's a vampire. His eyes are red because he hunts humans. He drinks their blood. They don't sleep, eat, have a need to breathe. They sparkle in the sun..incredibly fast, some are gifted. Edward. He was a mind reader. His eyes were always golden because he hunts animals." Charlie cut her off. "Edward?! H-he..you knew? Wait you dated a vampire?" Charlie asked shocked. Bella nodded, looking down.

Peter took over from there, exposing Charlie to the knowledge of the vampire world. He knew enough of Victoria to understand what happened to Bella last year. "So I killed one of them, and I will be hunting the other, and then The Cullen's. And I plan on taking Bella to do so. I didn't save her for nothing." Peter stated.

"You see, there is this thing called mating. Once a vampire meets his mate, the attraction if you will, is unmistakable. I'm a very...territorial vampire, if there is something that I want, I get it. There really is nothing I care about in this world except my mate, and that just so happens to be your daughter. On that note, a vampire cannot live without their other half. I wouldn't forcibly change her, but if she wants it.." Peter trailed off. Charlie just looked at him and sighed.

"So..she's mated to you? What does that mean for her? Will I ever see her again, that is if she wants it." Peter cocked his head to the side, staring at the human in question. "Whatever you want, I'll make it happen." He reassured. Bella looked at him and then Charlie. "I can visit you. Or you visit me. Dad over the course of my time in Froks, destiny, fate, it cannot be swayed. I need closure. If Peter just so happens to be it, I want it." She stared. Charlie just swallowed glancing at Bella and Peter.

TS

*2 months later*

Bella and Charlie both made a decision that day, and by the end of the week, they were dead to the world. 2 months later found them in Texas with their sire. Charlie was somewhat remarkable, his newborn phase quite non-existent. Bella on the other had was a typical newborn, still was in fact, as she tucked herself into Peter's side. Venom was dripping down her chin as she growled, Peter's arms draped around her.

"Easy darlin'." He soothed, licking the mark on her neck, his eyes flicking to the bronze haired boy. "Hmm, Cullens, so glad you could join us. I see you got my little present." He laughed, looking to the head that Carlisle was carrying.

"What's this about?" Carlisle asked, although knowing what it was. "One of your little children have been naughty. I'm not very happy." He drawled. Everyone looked to Edward, who as staring straight at Bella.

Peter growled low in his throw, shooting Edward a look. "So what's it going to be?" Peter asked, seeing that his brother and his demented little demon were nowhere to be found.

Edward swallowed.

AN: There will be a part 2. :)
