Hello darlings! Welcome to a trip led by Athena's Cabin! Yet again I will produce something unrealistically awesome for you to read. Okay, that was today's extremely funny opening line. Please note the sarcasm.

Anyway, this has been written for you, and you only, dear readers (and a bit for me, cuz I really enjoy writing this!), so reviews are much appreciated!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight. It's still the property of Stephenie Meyer, which is a miracle considering how many people there are in this world that would love to own the rights for this amazing piece of literature.

But without further ado, please let me present to you: Solar Halo! Enjoy!


Solar Halo

Preface

We've all had nightmares. I personally find the ones most terrifying, where you need to run, run for your life, but the harder you try, the heavier your limbs become and you just cannot make yourself move fast enough. But there's the thing about nightmares, that when things seem the most dark, that there's no way you could make it in time, you wake up and realize that it was all a dream. You're probably drenched with sweat, but at least you're safe, and there's no need to run. But for me, it was real. My legs felt weak, as I tried desperately to push my way through the crowd and to the other side of the square. I felt useless, fighting against the crowd, which I could never get through of.

But I wasn't running for my own life this time. If I did, I wouldn't have been this ashamed. I could just stop and let death take me. But now it was someone else's life I was running for. Now, I know what you think; that I'm running for the life of my beloved one. You're wrong. That's not the case. But I have caused this to happen and I have to make things right.

In fact, my beloved one was safe, or at least I though so.

As the clock started to toll the hour, I felt like all hope was gone. I had advanced a great deal through the crowd, but there were still too many people between me and him. The situation wouldn't be so hopeless if Alice was here, but unfortunately there was no way for her to come to this sunny square unnoticed. That left me to be the only one who could try to get there in time. Alone. And I was too slow.

I didn't know what to do if I failed. How could I ever look at Alice, or any of the Cullens in that matter? Could I possibly face the grief in their expressions. Or could I live with myself when I knew this was all my fault? So I guessed it was good that there were bloodthirsty enemies lurking about. Maybe they could finish me off and take the shame off me.

But I couldn't give up. There were things that were too important for me to lose. I had to try. But the clock kept tolling, and the sun was at its highest peak. It was midday, and I was inevitably late.
