A/N: First fan-fic! Please read and review, though I do hope my next ones will be better. Maybe your reviews could help me with that ;)

Discliamer: No, sadly I'm not Stephanie Meyer. She owns the Twilight Saga and all the characters, not me. *Sigh*

Chapter 1/preface

I could feel the soft grass tickle me as it wove through my fingers. I looked out into the beautiful flowers and trees that engulfed me into this little meadow.

My cheek felt a slight chill when the breeze started to blow, while I heard the trees whistle in the wind. I looked up to see between parted branches the clouds, which were slowly moving away to reveal a large gleaming light. It struck down on me and I felt the warm feeling of it along my face. As soon as it had shined down, there was a new source of light.

I looked down at the hands embracing me, now shimmering like diamonds. My eyes slowly made their way from his hands and up his arm. They continued to rise up slowly, studying every feature in awe as if I'd never seen him before. Finally my eyes met with his, my beloved Edward. I stared into his amber brown eyes as his lips inched toward my face. They steered upward though, and kissed the top of my forehead. He then moved closer to my ear and softly whispered into my ear,

"I love you, my Bella." I let out a heavy sigh when I heard his perfect velvety voice say my name. "I will never let anything hurt you." His lips touched the side of my face softly and briefly as soon as he had let out the last word. I laid my head on his chest and held his hand in mine, watching as he stroked my fingers. Soon I let my eyes close shut, and Edward started to hum my lullaby. My face lit up with complete bliss, and I thought how nothing could be better than a moment like this one.

Suddenly, I heard an agonizing howl of pain. It was the cry of an animal, but was full of the emotion of a person. A cry I knew better then I ever wish I had. A cry that sounded like a broken heart of someone I love.

Jacob.

And he was in pain! I looked around franticly, as the howling continued to grow louder and louder.

"Jacob!" I screamed. I couldn't figure out where the howling was coming from, it echoed at me from all sides of the forest. The forest, which I realized was changing drastically. It was becoming darker and the beautiful colors were all draining away. The wind was growing stronger and the sun which a moment ago was high in the sky was long gone.

"Jake, where are you!" I stood up as I yelled this time. I didn't pay any attention to what Edward looked like, I was too concerned for my friend. The howling just kept going, growing even louder if it was possible.

"JACOB!" I tried one last time. Without the answer that I had hoped for, I started for the surrounding trees. I didn't even make it to the edge of the forest before I tripped and started to fall. I braced myself for impact, which surprisingly, never happened. I just kept falling, until…

"Jake!" I gasped out as I sat up abruptly in my bed. I stared straight into Edward's eyes, which looked full of concern. I was still a little freaked out from my dream, and noticed that my breathing was quite heavy. Edward must have noticed this too, because he suddenly came over to my side and swept me into his arms.

"Bella, Bella, everything's ok now. You're ok," he whispered softly as he cradled me. And with each word he spoke with his perfect velvet voice, I calmed down. When he realized I was fine he stopped rocking me and set me on his lap. "Bad dream?" He asked.

"It was good." I mumbled. Or more like, wonderfully amazing… "That is, until Jake…" I shook off the bad thought of Jacob's cry. I had never heard him in so much emotional pain, but it sounded so real I felt like I had. "Ah, never mind." I said. I thought that maybe the thought of me having worried dreams about my best friend, who happened to be a guy, wasn't the best thing to talk about to Edward, and I didn't really want to talk about it anyway.

"You're sure?" He asked, with nothing but concern for what I wanted in his words. I'm sure he wasn't actually interested in my stupid dream.

"Yeah, positive." I answered with true reassurance in my voice. Edward looked at me with his wonderful smile, and made me realize the atmosphere was now completely calm. With all the nerves of that gone, I decided to take in my surroundings and took a look around the room. When I looked at the window, it was still pitch black out. "Um, what time is it?"

"4:00," he said while still smiling. Wow, earlier than I expected. "Guess that means you get to sleep a little more before school."

"Yeah, I could do with a little more sleep I suppose." I mumbled with a yawn, confirming what I had said. Edward put me onto the bed and under a blanket, still holding on to me. He began to hum my lullaby, and I started to drift back into my dream.

Nothing in the summary happened, I know. Just a preface really, to get me going with writing.
