A Timeless Eternity 🎼 Edward Cullen

Chapter 19

We walk into Jake's workshop.

"Jake, are you here?" Bella calls out.

"Yeah."

He then emerges, "Hey girls."

I smile at him, "Hey Jake, so you're a werewolf."

He nods, "yes I am."

"So those mysterious hikers that have been disappearing?" I ask.

He shakes his head, "we kill vampires, but we protect humans."

My eyes widen.

He smirks, "don't worry, we can't harm your precious Cullen's."

I breathe in a sigh of relief.

"Because of the treaty right?" I question.

He nods, "you've been doing your homework."

I grin, "please Bella told me the story, you told her nearly a year ago."

He smiles, "so you can remember the story but Bella can't."

I laugh, "sounds about right."

Bella, then speaks up, "they killed Laurent."

My eyes snap to catch hers, "I thought he was up in Alaska."

She shakes her head, "he came back to find me. To kill me. He was then gonna kill you too."

I stare at her in shock, "what!?"

She nods, "he came as a favour for Victoria."

I sigh, "we both knew this was gonna happen one day."

"Yes, but we thought, she was gonna kill Ashton and Edward," Bella states.

Jake then speaks up, "instead, she wants to kill both of you."

"Is this why I was allowed to know your secret?" I ask.

He nods, "Sam, thought it would be best for your protection, if you knew the truth."

I nod.

"But you can't tell anyone," he states.

"I understand."

"Now you two better get home, the pack and I will continue searching for Victoria," Jake explains.

We nod, and walk back to Bella's truck.

We pull up in front of Bella's to find lots of police cars outside my house.

Confused we both get out, I spot someone taking out a body bag from my front door, obviously containing a dead body.

Shocked I start to run over.

I'm caught in the arms of someone. They hold me tightly.

The person speaks up, "Melody, you can't go in there I'm afraid."

I look at Charlie, "why not?"

He looks at me sympathetic.

The realisation hits me.

"Noooo," I scream, tears pooling my eyes.

"I'm sorry Melody," Charlie states.

Bella stands behind me, tears staining her cheeks.

"Where are they?" I snap.

He stays silent.

I begin to breakdown in his arms.

I then whimper, "where are my parents Charlie."

He sighs, "they're are dead, Melody."

I let out sobs, as Bella hugs me tightly. I stare at my house watching as the coroners carry out another person.

"They were murdered."
