Edward's Point of View (POV)
My mind was empty. All I wanted was to wake up from that emptiness and welcome the light. I inhaled and felt that my throat was dry. I swallowed. I felt something soft touch my cheek and I heard a whisper. My eyes fluttered open to see who or what was touching me that could feel so soft.
At first everything was blurred but I could clearly see the light. I knew it was there and the place where I opened my eyes to was a stark contrast to where my mind has been for quite a while. Just as my eyes were starting to focus, I noticed an outline of someone on my bed. My vision focused and I realized that whoever was in front of me was the source of the soft touch on my skin.
I gasped. I didn't want this to be another one of those fleeting dreams; the ones that I know I have but can never recall once I wake up no matter how hard I tried to.
While I was in that empty place those fleeting dreams were all I had. They were all I had and yet they haunted me. Me. I realized that I existed. I'm no longer just one of those fleeting dreams. I was real, I told myself, I was here and so was the warm touch on my cheek.
I opened my eyes and I had to let them focus again. What I saw both shocked and overwhelmed me and as fast as my heart soared, it sank. This can't possible be real. A small angel, with dark brown curls, perfect red lips and hazel eyes that sparkled was sitting on my bed, smiling at me while touching my cheek.
"Hello, daddy. Good morning, Daddy." I realized that that was what she'd been whispering a few seconds before. My mind was still blank. I didn't want to take any of it in. I waited for wakefulness to come at any moment. Allowing this beautiful angel to make me fall in love with this dream would be torture to me once i've awoken and can't even remember her face.
I closed my eyes again. It scared the hell out of me when I realized that this was probably the best dream I've ever had but I'd forget it when I woke up. Just then I felt the angel's soft touch move up to my eyelids.
"Daddy..." she said in a fit of giggles as if I was being silly. "You're making funny faces again."
I loosened my frown and then, what the beautiful angel was saying finally sunk in. She called me daddy. My ears started ringing and my head ached. I'm her... father? I didn't understand anything. I moved to my side and wrapped my knees with my arms. It was the first time I looked away from the angel on my bed and I saw the huge glass windows. I saw a leather couch on one side as I started taking the room in.
Where was I?
I shuddered as my heart raced, questions weighing heavily in my aching head. I rolled on to m back and looked at the smiling angel. I stared at her as if she could answer my questions. I was scared out of my wits because with all the questions that miraculously managed to fit in my head at that moment, there was one question that was pressing much more heavily than most.
When I said I felt empty, I wasn't lying because at that moment, I didn't even know who I was.
