Halloween – the Movie, Twilight style

This is a Halloween drabble, meaning short, 100-250 word chapters. Story will be updated frequently. Stephenie Meyer created and owns the Twilight world, I just like to play in it.

Thanks to my beta, EdwardsMate4Ever. She makes the words behave.

Chapter 18 – 'Bout Midnight (Bella & Jasper & Charlie & Dr. Cullen &…)

October 31st, around 11:45 p.m.

As Charlie pulled onto Forks Avenue, a car slammed into them, t-boning the police cruiser before spinning to a stop.

After the impact, Charlie sat frozen, hands clenched to the steering wheel, his head reeling. He watched the other car back up, pull around them and drive off, tires squealing in the night. The front end of the Civic was smashed up, but apparently still drivable. He tried to start his cruiser then remembered his passenger.

"Are you two all right?" he asked. Bella and Jasper nodded.

"I think so," Bella said.

"Shaken up, but otherwise OK, sir," Jasper answered.

Two people came running through the darkness up to the car, their coats whipping around their knees. Charlie automatically pulled his weapon but put it back when he recognized Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Weber.

"We heard the crash," Dr. Cullen said. "Is anyone hurt?"

After receiving assurances that the three in the police cruiser were OK, Mrs. Weber asked, "Did you see a white Honda Civic?"

"That's what just hit us," Charlie replied. "Do you know who was driving it?"

Mrs. Weber gasped. "And I just got it back from Dowlings Auto Repair. The Agency won't believe this happened twice."

"Noreen was pulling the car around when the girl jumped out from behind a wall. She yanked open the driver's door, grabbed Noreen by the hair and pulled her out of the car, and then took off before I could do anything," Dr. Cullen said. "It's like she knew exactly when we were picking the car up."

Bella got out of the car and opened Jasper's door for him. "Unbelievable," said Bella. "Who is she?"

"She's gone," Dr. Cullen moaned, ignoring Bella's question. "The evil is gone. But she'll be back."

"You bet she will," Charlie said. "I'm putting out an APB on that wrecked car. The boys coming north from Aberdeen will stop her and bring her back."

"You don't understand," Dr. Cullen said. "She's not normal."

"Oh I do understand that," Charlie growled. "A girl that size shouldn't have been able to recover from Taser and broken out of handcuffs and…Noreen, what is it?"

"Don't you know who that was, Charlie?" Mrs. Weber asked.

"No. Should I?" he said.

"She's come back, Charlie," Mrs. Weber replied. "That was little Alice Doyle…"

"The little Doyle girl?" Charlie said. "Then no one from the kindergarten class of 2002 is safe," he continued, glancing at Jasper. "Bella was already with her mother in California, so she should be OK."

"And the Stanley girl, Jessica," Mrs. Weber said. "She and Lauren used to make mud pies. One day at recess, Jessica put mud in Alice's hair, remember? It was her attack on Jessica that got her put away. I was room mother that day and had to drive poor Jessica to the hospital."

"I'm sorry, but it's too late for Jessica Stanley," Charlie said.

Mrs. Weber started to cry, and Bella leaned into Jasper. He pulled his Goldilocks close, nuzzling her hair, thinking how her soft brown hair, like everything else about Bella, was more than Just Right. More like Just Perfect.

What a terrifying Halloween it had been.
