A storm is brewing up in the small town of Forks. There are more overcast days in the year here than days with sunshine. But this was different. Although rain was an ordinary aspect of living in Forks, storms of this magnitude were rare if existent at all.
The weather was a hot topic in the news all morning. Alice had been seeing that it would be bad and so she decided to call Edward to warned him. Edward took her concern and told Bella about it. Bella, being selfless, was not so much worried about herself, but for Charlie because he was scheduled to work the entire day.
The morning started off well, with nothing out of the ordinary. Bella wakes up from uneasy sleep after having another one of her dreams. She dreamt that she was in the forest that branches out from the yard beside her house and was running desolately and with purpose other than to get away, to find meaning. The forest was dark and damp. There were no animals or creatures around at all. The soundless echo that was the forest would have brought comfort to her dream if it weren't for the fact that she was alone. Bella woke up from a night of tossing and turning, in addition to talking in her sleep.
Despite her recurring dream, Bella woke up happy. She knew that she had another day ahead of her; one she would undoubtedly spend with Edward. She took his hand and nestled into his cold chest. Her sleep gradually started to fade into awareness and then…hunger. Edward, hearing her stomach rumbling- not having to read her mind, takes her hand and leads her downstairs to get breakfast.
Oh, did I mention it was a Saturday morning…well it is. Time was hard to place, being that outside was dark and gloomy, sure indicators of the storm coming. It is hard to believe that it was only 7 in the morning.
Bella pours herself a bowl of cereal and milk while Edward sits in his usual spot, across from Charlie's chair, next to Bella. He sat perfectly still at the table with his marble-like body angled towards her, carefully analyzing her every move. The way he looks at her is like nothing else. He cares for her with such intensity and purity, that just thinking about the emotion behind his gaze, would make anyone gasp for air involuntarily. Their love is one of a kind; one many aspire to have but one not many get a chance to experience in their lifetime.
They had casual conversation while she finished breakfast. They didn't get too engrossed in their conversation because Bella needed to get ready for her visit to La Push. Edward has been really cool, or at least has put forth a believable pretense, when talking about Jacob. He no longer forbids Bella from seeing her friend, a werewolf-one who has made it clear that he wants to take Bella, the reason for his existence, away from him. Edward has realized that the act of keeping them apart would only forced Bella to put herself in dangerous situations trying to sneak out to see him. So, for the greater good, Bella's safety, he gave in.
Realizing the time, they both got up and started upstairs. Bella gathered her change of clothes while Edward stood at the foot of the bed glancing out the window to the approaching menace in the sky. Once dressed and ready, Edward and Bella headed downstairs and out the door to the car. Edward drove down the road as usual, with precision and profound speed. Bella had been frightened by his driving at first, but now she was used to it and candidly now relies on it. She grabbed the phone that Edward got for her, one of the precautions for her safety, and called Jacob just to make sure that he was awake and hadn't forgotten that she was coming over. Jacob answered groggily at first, but then progressed to excitedly, as expected, and was already on his way to meet them at the treaty line.
Everything was settled then. Bella was going to spend the morning with Jacob, he was going to drop her off at the Sporting Goods Store, where she works part time as a cashier, for her four hour shift at noon and then Edward was going to pick her up and take her to his house for the remainder of the evening. The plan was perfect and set in motion...
