Edward slowly nodded in agreement to that assumption. Edward knew exactly what Charlie thought of him and his never-ending presence around his daughter. He had at first just passed it off as fatherly protection, however after that little outburst he wondered faintly of maybe Charlie suspected something. Despite it all, Edward felt the ever-pressing need to do something about this situation. Not only did it bode well for Bella, it could endanger his own family, not to mention his own kind. With a soft inaudible sigh he glanced at Bella again.
She was right of course and he merely nodded again. Charlie, even as they spoke right now, had a plan forming in his mind and Edward could see most of it. “He’s going to Billy first. He like you has some interesting theories about what I am. I must say none of them involve radio active spiders or kryptonite.” They had to move quickly now. If Billy were able to convince Charlie of what The Cullens really were, things would become a lot more complicated.
“We need to plan something Bella, we must find a way around this. Charlie cannot learn about us.”

Bella sighed. She knew the danger was increasing all the time. She knew that by now, the werewolf pack had increased by at least one. And they wouldn't hesitate to start a war should the Cullens change her. Now, with Charlie being curious and consulting Billy... Billy would tell Charlie in a second the truth and reveal the Cullens for what they were. Charlie would believe Billy, too. Bella sighed again and looked to Edward's face again. "Do you have any ideas?"

Edward thought for a moment, his face tense with concentraition. He had promised Bella he wouldn't leave her again. And he would keep his promise to her. He wouldn't leave her again, but if things got too out of hand with Charlie, what could he do? "I'm just saying, maybe we should be prepared to do some stuff. If Billy is successful in getting Charlie to beleive. I have a feeling I won't be allowed in much.. or around you for that matter."

Fear flashed through Bella's eyes. Was he really suggesting that he would leave again? That Charlie could keep them apart? "No..." Bella tried to whisper out. But, it got caught in her throat. She tried to speak again and this time it was audible. "Don't leave... or if you do... take me with you. We could go anywhere you wanted, if it came to that..." Bella was at a lost for words. "Don't let him keep us apart, Edward." She eventually pleaded with him.

Edward was shocked by just how desperate Bella sounded. Why on earth had he even mentioned leaving? He knew just how much is impromptu disappearance act had affect her. He put a finger to her lips, hushing her cries. “I’m not leaving you, I promised you that. If the situation calls for it, you’ll becoming with me don’t fret.” He said softly, his eyes searching hers. “We’ll figure out a way to stop this, before it gets to that point. Trust me.”

Bella hadn't realized that her chest had felt constricted until Edward reassured her and she relaxed again. He wouldn't leave her, she should've known that.
"What are we going to do though? Its not like the treaty specifically said that the Quiletes aren't allowed to tell people if they ask about it. If Charlie asks the right questions, there will be nothing we can do."

Again Edward didn't have the answers and he merely shrugged his shoulders. From their position at the moment, there wasn't much they could do. Other than hope that fate wasn't about to screw them over majorly. "Perhaps this is just meant to be?"

Bella couldn't believe Edward didn't have any ideas. She certainly didn't have any. And how could this be 'meant to be'? Fate was playing a horrible game with her nerves and heart. Dismayed, Bella stood and threw out the remainders of her cereal. After a few moments, she broke the silence. "Shouldn't we talk to Carlisle and everyone else about this? Perhaps they have an idea."

Edward had orginially wanted to talk to Carlisle and the rest of his family before making an decisions, but he was worried now that they might waste time doing so. "I do Bella, but don't you think Charlie is our more pressing matter? We would be wasting valuble time, talking with them, while Charlie is conversing with Billy. Who knows what Bilyl could say to posion your father's mind against us."
They really were stuck between a rock and a hard place. A dexision had to be made, and made soon. "You know your father better than I do Bella, you tell me what we should do."

"I can't see Charlie not believing Billy. The only way he wouldn't find out anything thing the Quiletes know is if Billy would withhold what he knows," I started out. Slowly a plan formed in my mind. And it could possibly work. "Billy might not tell Charlie because he would have to tell Charlie how he knows this. Then he'd have to reveal the wolf pack's secrets. And thats forbidden. If I call him and Charlie hasn't reached his house yet, maybe I can persuade him not to tell Charlie anything. He won't want to betray the pack, even if it is helpful to you." Bella's confidence augmented as her planned seemed to gain reality. 'It really could work. And most importantly, it would buy us more time to figure out a more elaborate plan,' Bella thought excitedly.

Bella was smart, that was for sure. And for the moment Edward couldnt' argue with her. She was right. If Billy was going to tell Charlie that Vampires existed, he would have to explain how he knew it. And that would involve telling him about the La Push werewolves. "You're a genious!"

Bella grinned. Her plan had gotten Edward's approval. "Now that we have a plan for the immediate future, I need a human moment. Can you wait for a few moments?"

Edward nodded, he would wait as long as she needed him to. "Of course, I'll be here." He said softly as he watched her rise from the table and disappear. Left alone, his thoughts dirfted back to his small dilemia that didn't involve Charlie, but rather the La Push werewolves, and the war that would start once he bite Bella.

Bella rushed to her room and pulled out a dark blue shirt and a pair of bleached jeans. She yanked them on quickly and went to the bath room to brush her hair and teeth. She couldn't help but think that they were only safe for the moment. The minute she was changed, the war would break out and she would be against Jacob. She owed him so much. But she wasn't going to go against Edward. Not for anything. Her human minuet was done, but her thoughts continued to flow through her mind. She went back downstairs and returned to Edward.

Edward glanced up from the surface of the kitchen table as Bella bounded back down the stairs. He gave her a slight smile and rose silently from his chair. He hoped they'd make it threw the day without too much trouble. But knowing Bella, it would be a challenge. "You're ready?"

Bella had to look away from Edward before she could reply (Why did he have to dazzle her like that?) Eventually, her mind returned to normal and she said, "Yes, I'm ready. Where are we going?"

Edward slowly pulled his gaze away from Bella's and glanced out the kitchen window. The sky was a cloudy grey and overcast. The perfect day in his opinion. He at least wouldn't be stuck indoors, or in his meadow. "To see the Big Bad Wolf of course" Edward spoke, tearing his gaze from the window and settling it back to Bella, a slightly wild glint in his topaz eyes.

Bella was confused. To see the 'wolf' as Edward put it, Edward would have to violate the treaty and go to Quileute land. But what if Jacob had come here? Bella sighed. She wasn't looking forward to another encounter between Edward and Jacob. The last one was bad enough. Though, maybe they could find away around this impending war. If only Sam would talk with the Cullens... "Is he in Forks? Are we supposed to meet him somewhere?" She asked Edward. She might as well get this over with.

Edward shook his head. To his knowledge or any of his family, there had been no meeting set up. But even so, if they didn’t act soon and get to Billy before Charlie did. Treaty or no, Edward wouldn’t be in a good position. “There’s no meeting set up, but we need to get to Billy before your father does. I’m willing to take a few risks if the situation calls for them.”

Bella didn't like this, but if Edward said they needed to meet up with Billy before Charlie got there, she supposed that there was no way around it. She knew Edward wouldn't violate the treaty unless it was truely important.
Still, she had to surpress a sigh when she said, "We better get going if we want to have time to have a conversation with Billy before Charlie appears. Are we going to run or drive?"

Edward glanced at Bella. "Running would be quicker, but If things take a turn, I'm not sure I'd want to be alone with them." He was merely thinking of her. Still frail and weak compared to the strength the wolves had within them. "I suggest to be on the safe side we drive"

Bella nodded and started toward the door. They didn't have anytime to lose.

Edward followed after Bella and shut the door behind him. Following her to the Volvo he slipped into the driver's seat silently and shut the door before glancing over to her. "Whatever happends, I promise I won't leave you."
OOC: So I'm thinking we move this now to a new topic with Jakey boy whenever he gets back on.

Bella was scared by his promise. Not because it was unwelcome or anything like that, but because he was inferring that things could (or would) get ugly. She didn't want to think like that though. Bella wanted to get the plan to work.
OOC: Sounds good too me. And he is finally online. xD
