[Discontinued] His Angel- Twilight

16

Later that night, Emmett and I are sitting on a park bench, and I have ice cream in my hand.

"Thanks for dinner Emmy." I lean into him. "Although, it is a little strange being the only one eating. Can you really not ingest food?"

"Technically, we can ingest food, but we can't digest it. I could eat, but I'd have to throw it up after."

"Ew, don't do that." I giggle, making a face. He smirks and puts his arm around me. I continue to eat my ice cream and lean into his chest.

"You're such a giant." I look up at him. "You're like one of those bara guys."

"I don't even know what you're talking about."

"Don't worry about it. I'm just saying you're really hot."

"I'll take your word for it." he chuckles and pulls me closer.

After I finish my ice cream, I get a call from tío Charlie.

"Hi tío." I answer.

"Where are you?" he says, I can tell by the sound of his voice that this is serious. I just answer his questions as quickly as possible.

"I'm in the park."

"Who are you with?"

"Emmett Cullen."

"Where's Bella?"

"In Port Angeles with some friends."

"Come to the police station, something happened. It's not safe to be outside by yourselves."

"Okay Tío."

I hang up.

"We gotta go the the police station. Something happened, and Charlie wants us to be safe."

Emmett nods and we quickly walk to his car.

I text Bella on the way over, telling her to come home, but they won't go through. Her phone must have died.

When we get to the station, there is an ambulance outside, and I see Edward's silver Volvo pull up almost right after us.

I get out of Emmett's car and wait for Bella to get out of Edward's. She rushes up to me.

"I have several questions." she asks, glancing over at Emmett.

"They can wait. Charlie called me, something happened, he wants us to be with him. I think its really bad Isa." I grab her hand and push our way into the station.

She nods and follows me. As we walk up the steps, we're met with Carlisle walking out of the station.

"Carlisle, what's going on?" I hear Edward ask from behind us.

"Waylon Forge was found in a boat outnear his place. I just examined the body." he replies.

"Oh my god, he died?" I ask.

Carlisle nods.

"How?" Bella asks.

His eyes flick towards me before replying.

"Animal attack."

I can feel a shudder going down my spine. Animal attack is Carlisle's code for vampire attack. The others explained the whole vampire coven thing, and how most vampires are actually nomads, hunting wherever they go.

"Was it the same one that got that security guard down in Mason?" Bella asks.

"Most likely."

My eyes widen. The attacks are getting closer.

"Isa, we should go inside. Waylon was tío Charlie's friend. Do you remeber the guy at the diner?"

"The Santa guy?"

I nod.

"Okay." she nods.

"Thank you." I say to Carlisle. I nod to Edward, who returns the gesture. I turn to Emmett, who quickly wraps his arms around me and places a kiss on my forehead. I shoot him a quick smile before pulling Bella inside.

"Later." I say before Bella can ask.

When we get to Tío Charlie's office, all the lights are off, and he is staring at the computer screen his eyes are red and puffy from crying.

"Tío." I say, letting go of Bella's hand and hugging him.

"Hey." he says.

Bella goes to the other side of him.

"Dad, I'm so sorry," she says.

"I've known him going on 30 years." he says blankly.

We put our hands on each of his shoulders and he puts his hands on ours.

"Don't worry, we're gonna find this thing." he says determinedly.

"In the meantime," he says, pulling out two cans of mace. "I want you two to carry these with you."

I nod solemnly and take it.

"I don't know..." Bella starts.

"It'll give your old man some peace of mind." he insists.

"Okay." Bella relents, taking it.

"Let's go home tío." I  squeeze his hand. "Isa, can you drive?" she nods.

We help him up and walk him out. As we exit, the stretcher carrying Waylon's body is rolled past us. I gasp and put my hand over my eyes. Bella and Charlie both put their arms on my back in comfort.

Once home, we ensure that Charlie is in bed before going to Bella's room.

"Spill." she says.

I sit on her bed while she takes her desk chair.

"We went on a date." I reply.

"Wha-you can't just open with that!" she exclaims.

I decide not to reveal too much, since I'm sure she'll be figuring everything out soon enough. It's killing me to keep everything from her, but it's not my secret to keep.

"He invited me to his house to hang out with him and the others, and when I was there, he pulled me aside and confessed to me. Then once he found out I felt the same way, he asked me on a date. We went to dinner, and we were in the park eating ice cream when tío Charlie called me to come to the station."

She gets up and hugs me, smiling.

"I'm so happy for you!"

I smile and hug her back.

"Thanks Isa. Now you spill."

She nods and gets up, pulling a book out of her bag.

"I got this book from a bookstore in Port Angeles." she hands it to me. I see that it's about the Quileute tribe and their legends. She must have bought it after what Jacob told her.

"I left Jessica and Angela in the dressstore. When I was walking back from the bookstore this group of creeps came up on me, and Edward saved me."

"Damn, maybe I'm glad I told him where you were." I say, pulling her into another hug.

"You did what?"

"Oh, he asked where you were, and I told him that you were in Port Angeles. Next thing I know, he's gone."

She thinks about that for a while, looking back down at her new book. I yawn and lean on her shoulder.

"I think it's time for me to go to bed. It's past my bedtime, and we've had way too much excitement." I get up and give her one last hug.

"Goodnight Angel."

"Sweet dreams, don't stay up too late reading."
