thx:D:D
It was very late. A veil of clouds covered the moon poorly in the sky. As stealthily as possible, I dashed up to the familiar two-story house on the edge of the forest. Bella shifted around in my arms but didn't wake up as I unlocked the front door. A piece of white paper was taped on the wall just outside the refrigerator.
Bells, Alice called and said you were staying over for dinner. I'm over at Billy's. Be home late. -Dad.
I smirked as I read the note. Good ol' Alice to the rescue again.
In truth, I had sprung Bella from her room this morning while Charlie was at work. We had spent a glorious sunny day at the meadow. Our meadow. I wanted to have a nice conversation with her without Bella begging me to change her. Seeing me sparkle was the perfect distraction. But her warm body lying in my arms kept me occupied as well. Needless to say, we lost track off time.
Some time during the run from the meadow, Bella had dozed off, cradled against my chest. I had told Bella that running came naturally, that I didn't even have to think about it. However, with her heated skin pressed against my chest and her arms wrapped around my neck, I had to concentrate a lot more to avoid the trees. Bella seemed to be throwing all of my natural instincts out of tune.
Careful not to shake her, I took Bella up the stairs and into her room. I looked at her glowing alarm clock. It read 11:21. As I was placing her on the bed, the sounds of the Cruiser pulling down the street caught my attention. I sighed, thankful that I had got her home in time, but a little put off by Charlie's prompt appearance. Even without trying, he seemed to be depraving me of Bella's presence. I tossed the covers off her and dove into her closet.
Chief Swan parked the Cruiser and scurried into the house. I could hear him stumbling in the darkness to find the staircase. Humans were really useless in the dark.
He quietly opened the door a crack. She is home. Good. I shouldn't have doubted her. Charlie closed the door with a smile. It seems like she is spending more and more time with the Cullens. Edward in particular. I should make an effort to bond with her next weekend.
Charlie had just taken one step into his room when the phone started to ring. He cursed quietly as he hurried down the stairs to catch the phone before it woke Bella. In the dark, he stubbed his toe on the wall beside the sofa. Eyes watering with pain, Charlie picked up the phone.
"Hello. Swan residence."
Even from Bella's closet, I could hear the other man reply. "Charlie! Good, glad I caught you before you dozed off."
Charlie fell to the couch with a sigh. "What's so important that it can't wait for the daylight hours?"
"Wellâ ¦" His voice lowered ominously. "Something's been spotted in the woods. Something big. Mrs. Stanley just called us."
"What do you mean, something big?"
"Might just have been a wolf or something. She heard howling. But get this; she says it was big as a car. Flattened two trees."
Charlie was alert immediately. "Did you call Brookes yet, Collins?"
"Nah Chief. Wanted to get your go ahead before we called a hunting party."
"Get him now. I'll be there in five." Charlie hung up the phone in a hurry. He slipped on his shoes, gun, and jacket that he had just taken off. I couldn't help but to feel sorry for the guy. He paused on his way out. Might be out till morning if we can't find anything. Better leave Bella a note.
Charlie found the note he had left for his daughter this afternoon on the kitchen table were I had left it. He flipped it over. After scribbling a quick message about an emergency and being home later this morning, he ran out the door.
I emerged from Bella's closet as the sounds of the Cruiser's engine faded. Bella tumbled fitfully on her bed, mumbling random words in her sleep. I smiled down at her, crawling under the covers. I took her into my arms and she stopped thrashing.
Sharing a bed with Bella was quickly becoming one of my top five things to do. She was always so full of life, even when she was unconscious. Bella snuggled her head to my chest. Her breathing evened out as my cold flesh made contact with her cheek.
Her mouth opened slightly as she shifted her head. I leaned forward, waiting for her sleep talking to start. "But Mom, I hate Florida. It's too damn hot." She grumbled. "Urgh. Can't we go somewhere else? I'm burning up."
I did my best to hold in a chuckled. Bella had the strangest dreams.
Then, her leg brushed up against mine. But, instead of her skin, I felt the denim material of her jeans. I mentally smacked myself. No wonder she was hot; she was still wearing her clothes from our trip to the meadow. I sat up in bed, moving the cover
i would say its' part of midnight sun, but i read all the 12 chapters on midnight sun that stephenie posted on her website and it's not on there
it's not from any of the other books, either, so it MUST be fan fiction
-Twilight Fan!
