BELLA

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I just saw Emmett and Jasper rip a guy apart and burn him! Carlisle and Edward are chasing after the wicked crazy looking redhead that is chasing after Charlie and me. Tanya, Edward's new girlfriend, just threw me into the car and is going after the redhead when the bitch leaps from the trees and lands on my dad and Rosalie.

Charlie goes flying through the air and lands against a tree. But there is a fucking branch coming out of his stomach.

"DAAAAADDDDDDDY!"

"SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! PLEASE HELP MY DADDY!" I'm crying and screaming while pounding on the car window for somebody to help my dad.

I now see Emmett and Jasper run over to my dad, but something's happening with Jasper. His eyes go pitch black, and he stiffens. Emmett says something to him, and Jasper takes off through the trees.

Carlisle goes over to where my dad is and stoop down to try and help him. I then see Tanya, Rosalie and Edward tear the redhead bitch apart and throw her in the same fire they burned the guy. I don't know where the black guy when.

Rosalie then comes back to where my dad is. I see they've gotten the branch that was sticking out of him, just as Rosalie bites him on his neck. The tears are still streaming down my face as I see her continue to bite him on his wrists, ankles and then finally right over his heart.

She then kisses him on the lips before Emmett picks him up and brings him over and places him in the backseat of the jeep.

"What's going on, what's happening?" I ask as Rosalie climbs into the back with Charlie and Emmett gets into the driver seat. Alice, Esme, Tanya, and Edward stay behind as Emmett drives us out of the clearing. I then notice Carlisle running alongside the car until we make it out of the clearing before he takes off like a bullet towards the house.

"Somebody, please talk to me! Please tell me what's going on with my dad," I say as I kneel up in the seat and look back at Charlie.

"Belly bear, I need you to buckle up, please. Once we get Charlie home, Carlisle will explain everything that's happening and what's going to have to happen next," Emmett says. He looks nervous, so I sit in the seat and buckle up the harness.

As soon as we make it out of the forest, Emmett floors the Jeep. Once we make it back to the Cullen place, I see my truck and Charlie's police cruiser has been brought over from our house.

"Why is my truck and Charlie's police cruiser here?" I ask as Emmett and Rosalie carefully take my dad out of the jeep and take him into their house.

"Come with me Isabella, and I will explain everything to you," Carlisle says as he takes my hand and leads me in the house and upstairs to his study.

He closes the door and sits behind his desk. He gestures for me to sit in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"Carlisle, is my dad dying?" I ask him nervously.

"Isabella, I guess it's all how you look at it. Your dad is changing into a vampire," He told me. "The thing is, we're leaving, and we are going to have to take Charlie with us. We have a treaty here that we are not allowed to drink from, bite or kill any humans in this town. However, if we didn't bite Charlie to start his change, he would have died in that clearing today."

"Thank you for being honest with me. So, when do we leave?"

"It's not that simple, Isabella. We're going to have to fake Charlie's death to keep the wolves from coming after us. Right now, Edward and Jasper are going to the morgue in Seattle to get a body that closely fit Charlie's description, and we're going to cause an accident where Charlie will have been killed.

"Once that's done, Esme, Tanya, and Jasper are going to rent a moving van to take Charlie up to Tanya's home in Alaska," He told me.

"Why them? I ask."

"Well, Jasper has a rather unique experience training newborn vampires. He would be the most likely choice. The rest of us need to keep up the persona here in town until after the funeral.

"What about me? What about my mom?"

"Isabella, that's the thing. You're still a minor. Your mom will most likely want to take you home with her." I shake my head fervently.

"No, I don't want to leave. I want to stay with Charlie, and I don't want to live without Emmett. Will you change me too? I want to always be with my dad, and I can't imagine not being with Emmett. I want you to change me too."

"Of course, but that will all depend on your mother. Eventually Isabella, yes. We would hope you would want to be changed too. You don't have to make that decision right now. You are a part of our family now, you and Charlie. We will always be here for both of you. I would like to wait until at least your eighteenth birthday. If there's no other choice, do you think you would be able to live with your mother for the next year?

"Actually, it's only a few more months. My birthday is in September. Can you talk to her? Convince her to let me stay with you and your family?" Carlisle reaches across the desk and pats my hand.

"We'll try our best, Isabella," He says to me, and I can hear the sincerity in his voice.

"Can I see my dad, now?" I ask.

"Of course, dear. Come, I'll take you to him."

CHARLIE

Holy hell! I've just died. I must be dead and I sure as shit am not in heaven. What in the world could I have done to have granted me to be sent to hell? Is it because I had pre-marital sex with Renée? Maybe all the weed and peyote I did in high school.

I mean holy shit it feels like somebody opened my veins up and poured hot lava in. Every inch of my body is on fire including my eyeballs and hair. My head literally feels like it's going to burst into flames at any moment. I feel like I have a hole in my gut the size of a tree limb.

I'm sorry, Isabella. I'm so sorry. I just got you back, and now I'm leaving you. Will you ever forgive me? And my dear sweet girl, Rosalie. I've only found happiness again with a woman, and it's all been snatched from me. Wait, she was carrying me. Is she dead too? Maybe that crazy vampire woman got both of us. My girl has been through so much in her life already and to have it snatched from her because she was trying to protect me.

I want to scream, but I don't really think it will do any good. Maybe I can get somebody's attention, and they can explain to me why I'm here in hell.

I open my mouth to try and get someone's attention, and the only thing that comes out is a strangled noise. I immediately close my mouth. I won't scream like a little bitch.

"Daddy?"

Isabella, why is Isabella here? NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Not my sweet Isabella!

"Daddy, I love you so much. You're so strong, and I am so proud of you. You are going to make a great vampire, and you and Rosalie are going to be so happy," I hear my sweet Isabella's voice.

So, I'm not dying. I'm turning into a vampire. Holy shit!

"Bella, why don't you tell him about his life, so he doesn't forget," That's my Rosie. I then feel a body lay down next to me. It's warm so it must be my Isabella. Suddenly, the pain is almost gone away.

"How are you doing that," Bella? I know that voice too. I can't place it, but I know the voice.

"What am I doing?" Isabella says.

"You've almost taken all of his pain away," the voice says again.

"How do you know that?" Isabella asks.

"Bella, I'm an empath. I can feel and manipulate emotions. I've been trying to manipulate his emotions to try and help with his pain, but he's blocking me. Once you laid next to him, he's almost entirely pain-free.

"I'm gonna stay right here with you daddy. I won't leave you so you won't be in pain. I love you so much, daddy."

I love you, too, sweet pea.

Isabella starts telling me things about events that happened before her mother took her away. Things that happened when she would come visit from the summers. She reminds me of how horrible a cook my ex-wife was.

"Isabella, the police called. They've found your father's police cruiser. It seems they went to your house and since you weren't there, they called to see if you were here. I think it would be better if we took you back to your place so they can talk to you about the accident." I know that voice too. That's Carlisle Cullen. So, I must be at the Cullen house.

"So, I need for you to listen carefully, Isabella. Because of where we staged the accident, we couldn't come up with a plausible reason why your dad would be in that location. So, we've had to fake Rosalie's death as well. The story is Rosalie, and your dad was coming back from Port Angeles on a date. You were spending the evening with Emmett and Alice while they went on their date. Is this something you think you can manage?"

"I don't know, Carlisle. I'm a really horrible liar." She really is, poor thing.

"Don't worry, babe. I'll be right there by your side. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. We can do all the talkin' for ya," Emmett tells her. He's a good kid.

"I'll come too, Bella. You may need help managing the appropriate emotions."

"No, I think I can manage that. Right now, I just feel empty. But I'm trying to be strong for Charlie's sake. Jasper, can you stay here for Charlie, please?" My sweet girl. She wants to take care of me. It's supposed to be the other way around. I feel like I've failed you, Isabella.

"Are you ready to do this babe?" Emmett asks her. I can feel her head nod. She has her head laying on my chest. But as soon as she gets up, the pain comes flooding back in, full force. I cry out in pain.

"CHARLIE!" Bella is sobbing now. I immediately clamped my jaws together.

"GO! I'm fine!" I finally am able to grit out through my teeth. As soon as Isabella leaves my side, her warmth is replaced by an ice-cold body, and I smell the sweet scent of my darling Rosalie. She presses her cold lips to my fiery ones.

"Sssshhhh, Baby, I'm here too." She whispers in my ear.

"I love you, Charlie."

Oh, my Rosie. I love you, too, Sweetheart.
