Previously on Charlie? Vampire?

Once the bullet was removed I saw nothing else because Edward scooped me up in his arms and taken me up to my room.

Through the whole ordeal I had never stopped staring. I had not moved from my position on the ground next to Charlie’s body, even though it was no longer there. I sat in my room staring into the distance still trying to figure out what had happened.

All of a sudden……

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” was all I could hear from downstairs, pure bloodcurdling screams, I was sure that the neighbours would be able to hear them no matter how far away their house was.

They are aware that their next door neighbour is the chief of police and his daughter and hearing a male scream like that, they would automatically assume that it was the chief himself making the torturous yelp.

All I could think was ‘what could be making him scream like that?’ wouldn’t Carlisle sedate him so that he was in pain?

Who am I kidding of course Carlisle would sedate him, Carlisle is no masochist, what would make Charlie rile in pain even with a sedative. Suddenly it all clicked, pain, pain, pain. Edward always told me that he would not doom me to an existence of being a monster because of the pain the transformation would cause; Charlie was in unstoppable, unknumbable pain.

“Edward what’s happened to Charlie” I asked out of breath, from my sudden burst of hyperventilation.

“Bella I’ll explain later, no need to worry about that now, let’s just get your breathing under control.” Edward said trying to calm me.

“Edward!” I screamed.

“My BREATHING is like this because I am worried about my dad, so tell me what is wrong and stop procrastinating!”

“Bella please calm down and I will tell you what is wrong” Edward poorly tried to reason with me.

“Edward my father’s health is not a bargaining tool, you will tell me now!” I was getting very frustrated with him because I could tell he was stalling meaning that something really was wrong.

I was still recovering from my state of shock.

I was still trying to figure out if I had heard Edward correctly, Charlie? Vampire? How is that even possible, LOCAL CHIEF OF POLICE IS A VAMPIRE? Not possible.
