Love & Eternity
Edwards's point of view
"Edward, don't ever leave me" said Bella, in her sleep. She said it with a panic in her voice that I never heard before.
"Don't worry love… I promise ill never leave you again" I whispered gently in her ear.
She stopped for a moment and started to mumble something once more. It hurt me to know that I caused her sleepless nights, but never again will I hurt you Bella I though. I stared at her as she slept; so fragile, innocent, and sweet. I longed for her, but nevertheless I longed to give her a life that she will never have. I breathed in her scent, so powerful, and overwhelming. I learned to control my desire for her, but this time she enchanted me and took me to a place I was unfamiliar with.
I opened my eyes, to gain control of myself, but I was no longer in Bella's room. I was in a sunny meadow, far from home. I was… I was human! I soaked in the sun and called out for Bella.
"Guess who silly" said a voice that I struggled to remember.
"Bella?" I said reaching to find this mysterious girl.
"Nope" she said giggling, "You're bad at guessing love," she said as she put her hands around my eyes. This girl, her voice it hit me so hard but I couldn't remember her…
"I love you" she whispered softly into my ear "for ever and ever and ever"
Could this possibly be my mother, I though, or perhaps a sister. I was puzzled and reached to grab the girl from behind me. I gently pulled her over my back, but I was weak and we fell down. She giggled and looked toward me. I strained to get a good look at her but the wind made her hair cover her face.
She got up and started to spin around joining rhythmically with the wind. The mysterious girl started to hum a lullaby that was all too familiar to me- something I never showed anyone before.
"I miss you love… you promised me you wouldn't leave" she said as she so seamlessly ran into the forest.
"Wait! Bella? I am here, I didn't leave" I began to shout, hysterically. "Come back…"I whispered. But, she was gone, only to leave behind a small necklace. I struggled to reach for it… but the meadow was fading away before I could grab it.
I was back in Bella's room. My senses were on high alert, but no one or anything was nearby. I looked back at my angel, she was sound asleep mumbling about were did he go. It hurt me a little, but I tried to push that though out of my mind and focus on what just happened to me. Was I enchanted? Did I have a dream? Did- I stopped myself before I could go on I needed to speak to Carlisle, and quick. He could explain this confusion.
I looked back at Bella. I'll be back before you know it, I though. I moved swiftly to the window, and paused. The dog was outside "guarding" the house. I was angered, yet relieved to know that my Bella would be safe. I opened the window. But before I could get out I heard a piercing scream!
Bella woke up in a heart beat, she was panicking "Edward…Edward!" she cried out. I ran to her side, but she had already seen me by the window. I went to embrace her, but she flinched. Anger filled her eyes. I knew it wasn't my ice cold hands that made her react, but something deeper. I looked in her eyes, but all I felt was silence, I longed to understand her mind but couldn't. She caught me staring, and flushed.
"Sorry… bad dream" she said, and went to hug me. But her hug lacked the warmth and love she usually displayed.
