"Who was it?"

Silence

"I'll ask again. Who was it?"

Silence

"Who killed him? Who killed my father?"

Silence

"I know you know who did it. Why won't you just tell me?"

Kira stomped away from them, letting out a frustrated sigh. After things had settled down, she had gone over to the Cullen's house for the first time since the incident with Jasper. They had been surprised to see her at first, but when she started asking questions, they immediately looked nervous. Kira knew that they knew something about Charlie's death, and she refused to quit until she found out what happened.

She turned around once more, casting the Cullens a long look.

"I will find out. Whether you help me or not." she said with a tone of finality, before walking out the front door. Kira was determined. Something had changed within her, and she was no longer feeling upset about his death. She had buried the emotions of sadness deep down within her, and she had replaced them with determination.

That night, Kira went home to continue researching what could have happened. Jasper was with her, as he refused to leave her in her "delicate state". But Kira didn't mind too much. Without him around, she found herself having trouble sleeping or thinking straight, without thinking about everything bad that had happened in the past couple months that she had been in Forks.

Kira looked at her computer, trying to figure out how to start this search. She had already tried this many times, but decided that she should start clean. She started typing...

Animal attack

Woods

Forks deaths

Nothing. Kira couldn't find anything. She had phoned the police station the day before, and they had said that they had seen a few similar cases in the past, but most were from generations ago. The lady behind the phone said that that was all of the information she could give Kira though. She had apologized for Kira's loss, before hanging up without another word, leaving Kira to think.

Suddenly though, she remembered something that she had heard Bella talking about. When she had come home from the beach weeks ago, Kira had heard Bella talking to Charlie about how she had seen Jacob there, and how he had told her a great story that was supposedly a Quileute legend. She hadn't expanded much, but Kira could have sworn that when she left the room she had heard Bella mumbling something about Edward and the rest of the Cullens.

Kira turned back to her computer, quickly typing in the words that she had heard Bella mumbling. Up came a page with a list of legends. Kira glanced over her shoulder, before getting up and locking her door so that Jasper wouldn't be able to get in.

She began reading through the legends, one by one, until she found one that seemed to fit. The name giving her chills as she looked at it.

The Cold Ones.

They matched the Cullen's description perfectly. Reading the article, Kira felt a feeling of dread overcome her. She knew what they were. She knew what had killed Charlie.

Vampires.

That night, Kira slept with her door locked. She kept Jasper outside of her room, not allowing him in. She still needed time to process this information. She fell asleep still thinking, but feeling slightly more relieved than she had the past few nights. She finally knew what they were, and she began making plans to confront them the next day.

But despite Kira's new knowledge, it seemed that this did not bring her much comfort in her sleep.

She was driving in a car. From the looks of it, Kira realized that it was Charlie's police cruiser. She seemed to be driving down one of the long roads that was lined with the forest. Looking into the mirror, Kira was startled to find that she looked like Charlie. That she was Charlie.

The more aware Kira became of her surroundings, the more she wondered where she was. She was obviously in Charlie's body, but she couldn't control the body. It was like it was just her conscious in his body.

Charlie continued to drive down the street, but not for much longer. Soon, he came across a light on the side of the road. It was a flashlight that somebody seemed to have dropped.

Charlie stopped the cruiser, pulling over to the side of the road and getting up. He walked over to the flashlight and picked it up, but Kira was startled to discover that it held bloody hand prints. Charlie shinned the light into the forest, trying to spot where the blood could have come from, but was disappointed when he saw nothing.

Until he heard a scream from further within the forest. By the sound of it, it seemed as if it was the scream of an adolescent man. Charlie walked further into the forest, shinning the flashlight to see his path, until he came across a clearing in the woods, not too far away from the road.

Inside the clearing stood two men. One was on the grounds, blood covering his shirt. He seemed to be wounded, and from the other man standing over him, with blood on his face, Charlie could only guess at what had happened.

Grabbing his gun from it's holster, Charlie held it up, pointing it at the man with the blood on his face.

"Put your hands up! You are under arrest!"

But the man only laughed. He smirked at Charlie, not bothering to raise his hands, before he seemed to move. Kira only guessed that he had run, but it seemed as if he had enhanced speed. He was next to Charlie, ripping the gun out of his hands, in what seemed to be less than a second.

He stood face to face with Charlie. By now, Kira could get a better look at the man. He had black hair, and pitch black eyes. He seemed to have a stubble of a beard, and he was tall. Much taller than Charlie, probably standing at about 6'5". He looked to be in his early twenties. But the feature Kira seemed to notice most was the blood. He had blood dripping down his chin, dripping from his mouth where two fangs lay hidden, stained red from the blood.

Before Charlie could make another move though, the man had already leaned in. His fangs piercing the fragile skin of Charlie's neck.

Kira woke up gasping for breath. The rest of her dream seemed to have been cut off, but the last thing she remembered was her sight going dark, and her whole body lighting up in a massive fire.

She got up quickly, rushing to unlock her bedroom door, finding Jasper standing there, a concerned look on his face. He opened his mouth to speak, but Kira cut him off first.

"We need to go to your house. We need to have a talk."

Jasper nodded in understanding, already knowing what talk she meant. He was relieved that she was finally ready for it, but was slightly concerned on how it might through off the dynamic of their current relationship. Nevertheless, he escorted her to his car, before proceeding to get in and drive her to his house.

When they arrived, Kira was the first one out of the car, practically running to the door. But before she could even reach it, it was swung open by none other than Alice and Edward. They opened it for her, Alice saying a quick welcome, before they guided her to the living room, where it seemed that the rest of the Cullens and Bella were waiting for her.

Kira stood at the front of the room, Jasper following quietly behind her, standing with her in front of his family. As Kira stood there, trying to piece together what to say, most of the Cullens sat there, watching her. Edward seemed to be staring the most intently though.

Before Kira could piece together her words though, Edward spoke up. Saying the two words. All of the Cullens seeming to realize what they meant at the same time.

"She knows."

That was the spark to light the fire. Carlisle and Esme seemed to open their mouths to say something reassuring, while Rosalie burst out in a long string of cuss words, mostly directed towards Kira. Edward and Alice both seemed okay with the idea already, almost as if they already knew this would happen. Emmett was too busy trying to control Rosalie to say anything, but he did shoot Kira a supportive smile before restraining Rosalie. Jasper only put a reassuring arm around Kira, as they both watched the chaos unfold.

Finally, everything had settled down. Rosalie looked mad still, but with a glance at Bella, Kira felt reassured. She had a small smile on her face, directed at Kira. Kira did feel slightly betrayed by her sister for not sharing this information with her, but she didn't blame her. It wasn't Bella's secret to share.

Then Edward spoke up again. "Not just that. She also knows about what happened to Charlie."

At this information though, nobody spoke up. They all looked shocked, as none of them even knew exactly what had happened. All they had known was that there was another vampire that had been hunting on their lands, but they hadn't managed to meet this vampire yet. Bella just looked confused.

The Cullens took the rest of that morning just talking with Kira. They were more than happy to answer all of her vampire related questions, and thankfully nothing had changed between Kira and Jasper because of it, and Kira had answered all of their question on what she knew about the night of Charlie's death.

The Cullens had promised to help Kira catch this guy, and they spent the rest of the night coming up with plans. By the time they were done, both the Cullens and Kira were happy with where they had ended up. They were ready for this guy whenever he decided to turn up.
