I was sitting next to him in the Camaro. It was quiet for the most part.
“I think I’m warm enough now.”
I reached for the heater the same time he did. For the first time, my hand touched his.
I gasped.
“Your hand, it’s so cold”
He clutched the steering wheel.
We came across the police station. There were flashing lights.
“My dad’s still here. Something must’ve happened. Can you pull in?”
“That’s my father’s car at the end. What’s he doing here?”
Jack pulled the car in and parked next to Edward.
We got out and we met with Dr. Cullen.
“Carlisle. What happened?” asked Edward.
“Waylon Forge was found in the woods out near his place. I just examined the body”
“He died?” asked Bella.
Carlisle nodded.
“How?” I asked.
“Animal attack”
“Is it the same one that killed the security guard down in Mason?”
“Most likely”
“It’s getting closer to town then”
“Bella, Aussie, you should go inside. Waylon was your father’s friend”
We nodded. I looked at Jack. He gave me a reassuring smile and nod.
“I’ll see you later?”
“Yeah”
Bella and I headed inside the police station. We went to dad and wrapped our arms around him.
“Dad, we’re sorry about Waylon”
“Known him going on thirty years”
I could see this was tearing him up. I hugged him tighter.
“We’ll get to the bottom of this Bella, Aussie. But in the meantime…”
He opened a drawer and pulled out two canisters of pepper spray.
“...I want you both of have this”
“That’s probably not a good…”
“It’ll give me some peace of mind”
We took them from him. I held mine in my hand.
“Let’s head home”
We nodded. He stood up and got his jacket. Bella and I headed outside. We saw two paramedics hoist a metal gurney into an ambulance. We saw Waylon’s feet peeking out from under a sheet. It was slightly unnerving.

Bella was in her room doing who knows what. I was laying on my bed, texting Jack. I was grinning to myself.
Bella soon came into my room. I sat up.
“What’s up buttercup?”
“I don’t want you hanging around Jack anymore”
I sat completely up.
“What are you talking about? I’m fifteen, old enough to make my own decisions. You can’t tell me who I can and can’t hang out with”
“The Cullen’s are vampires”
“What? That’s crazy Bella”
She got my hand and pulled me to her room. I read everything on her computer.
“That’s impossible”
“Stay away from them”
“No. If anything, I’m going to confront him. I need to know the truth and the complete truth.”
I went back to my room. I didn’t text Jack for the rest of the night even though he texted me.
