I just want to say that the characters are a little bit OOC. Oh, yeah! Um, well, since I think this story will be long enough, I cut out the part when Edward and Bella tell Charlie and Renee that they're getting married. So, yeah! Charlie and Renee know they are getting married. I pretty much just said that didn't I. Oh man, I'm getting weird again! Excuse me while I go watch Spongebob Squarepants.

Chapter 1
Dreaming
Bella's POV
"Bells!" The child called to me. "Bells!" It echoed. I shivered, surrounded in mist. I was scared. Even though I had no reason to be. It sounded like a child of six or seven. What was there to be scared of? I knew the answer I just refused to accept it. I took a sharp intake of breath.
"Who are you?" I asked, my voice wavering. The child giggled and then sighed.
"I can't believe you forgot about me." The child said in fake disappointment. That was when I came face to face with her. She smiled, enthusiastically. She had dimples on both sides of her cheek. She had the same chestnut brown skin and black, curly hair in ringlets and cut short. Just below her ears. Then there were her eyes. Oh, how incredible were her eyes! Navy blue around the pupils and just kept getting darker until the black outer edges.
"Lyna." I whispered. Her smile grew bigger and nodded. She pecked my cheek and began to walk away disappearing in the mist. "Wait!" I cried out. "Don't leave me! Please not again!" It was too late; she had already disappeared. All I could hear was her laugh. Gentle yet loud. "No!"
My eyes flew open. I realized I was only inches away from the face of an angel. My angel. My fiancé. Edward. "Bella," he whispered. "What's wrong, love?" I felt wetness fall down my check. I understood now. I was crying. His cold hand wiped my cheeks. It burned where his skin touched mine. I looked into his eyes. They were liquid topazes. His brow was knitted in worry.
I put on a smile. "Nothing. I'm fine." He didn't seemed convinced. "Really." I assured. He seemed to accept that and once again I was thankful for the fact that I was the one exception to his mind reading. I sighed and rolled onto my back. "What time is it?" I asked, looking at the ceiling of my bedroom.
He chuckled lightly. "Time to visit my family." I turned to look at him, puzzled. He was amused at my expression. "Alice wants to see you. I believe it's something about bridesmaids." I groaned. Edward laughed quietly, still amused and wrapped his arms around me. "It won't be that bad." I sighed.
"With Alice, everything is exaggerated." I said, not one little bit ready to face Alice. I struggled to sit up and when Edward realized what I was doing, he released me. I got up and gathered my toiletries. I decided to wear jean cutoffs and a blue tank top. "I'll be right back." I looked to him. He was sprawled across my bed. He nodded.
"A human minute, right?" He asked innocently. I smiled.
"Right." I nodded. I took my stuff into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and stepped in the shower which was running hot water. I stood there hoping the water would wash it all away. The memories; the pain. It was impossible though. I stopped the water and put on the outfit I picked out. I continued on to brush my teeth. After that was finished, I walked back to my bedroom. My bed however Edward was not there.
"I'm in the kitchen!" he called. I rushed to the kitchen and sure enough there he was. He sat there very still as still as a statue and as beautiful as a god. I smiled at him and he returned it with a lazy grin. I shuffled past him and was able to get an apple before his arm snaked around my waist and tugged me towards him. I was in his lap in a matter of seconds. I bit into my apple and he gave me a worried look. I put down my apple and gave him my full attention. His eyes were full of sorrow. "Bella, don't take this offensively, but who is Lyna?"
My body stiffened and Edward noticed. He opened his mouth to say something, but I answered quickly. "She was an old friend, who died a long time ago." His frown stayed planted on his gorgeous face. "Don't worry. I'm fine. Let's go face Alice." He sighed and nodded. He knew that he wasn't going to get any more information out of me. I finished off my apple and threw the core in the trash. When we got outside, he scooped me onto his back.
"Are sure you want to do this during the day in front of everyone?" I asked unsure. He winked at me and gave me my favorite crooked smile.
"Nobody will see." he said confidently. I closed my eyes and he began to run. I felt the wind whip against my face then I realized it.
"Where was Charlie?" I asked scared for a minute. He chuckled.
"I was wondering when you would have noticed. He left early to check on Billy. I left him a note." He said solemnly. I remembered how Jake ran away. It hit low in my gut.
"Oh." was all I managed to say. We arrived at the Cullen's house and went to the front door. Before we even knocked, Alice pulled open the door.
"Bella! Finally, you're here! I was afraid you were never going to come! I mean I saw you come in a vision, so of course you were going to come, but it was taking forever!" I smiled warily.
"Nice to see you too, Alice!" I looked over at Edward. He looked down onto me.
"I see you later. I have some business to take care of." He said. I raised my eyebrows. He laughed and, with vampire speed, was gone. I pursed my lips. Coward, I thought. Alice took my hand.
"Come on, Bella! We have so much to do in so little time! Though, I really just want to talk to you about bridesmaids!" Alice said as she led me into the Cullen's living room and sat on the couch with me.
"And so I've heard." I said half to myself.
"Oh, Edward told you. Well, you see, we still need one more bridesmaid. We have me, maid of honor, then we have Angela and Rosalie as bridesmaids. I asked Esme but she said she didn't really prefer to be one for some odd reason. So do you have any idea whom..." Alice paused with a far away look. After a few moments, she snapped out of it. Her eyes widened in terror. "Carlisle! Jasper!" she called and ran away. I was left alone, feeling ignored and wondering what Alice saw. Then, Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Edward surrounded me. Alice and Edward were on each side of me. Edward took my hand softly.
"Love," he said calmly. "Tell us what happened to Lyna." I breathed in. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
Well, that was pretty long and guess what that's suppose to be a cliffhanger! Well, anyway, please review! Tell me your likes, dislikes, and where I need improvement. Please don't be too harsh! I'm a little sensitive. Review!
