BPOV:
I screamed as a hard thing that could only be a foot connected with my side. I should'nt scream, I knew better then to scream because I only got punished for it even more, but it was hard not to.
The pain stopped for a minute. Everything in the world stopped. The sound. The sight. My sense of feel, and when it came back there was a man in front of me that I had never seen before.
"This is what happens when you're bad." he whispered, caressing my cheek with a rough hand that made me want to gag, "This is what happens when you try to get away from us." he breathed, kissing the shell of my ear before biting down.
"N-"
"NO!" I shrieked, sitting up in my dark room and looking around frantically a I sobbed and tried to find the switch to my lamp. I couldn't be there, I had to make sure I wasn't. I gasped and cried some more when I couldn't find it in my rush, and curled up on my side and sobbed.
I hadn't had that dream in forever, not ever since Esme and Carlisle passed away 3 years ago and I felt alone despite their son Edwards always being there for me when I needed him, which I tried to hide.
Edward was 9 years older than me and my stepbrother of sorts, however when Esme and Carlisle died in the car crash he got legal right over me, when I was 14. Esme was my mother and Carlisle was Edwards dad, and when they married we met and got along well.
"Bella?" an angel asked, his voice smooth and running over my name like velvet. I wanted to recognize that voice, somewhere in my mind I knew that I had hears that voice, but I didn't know where it was from.
"Don't hurt me!" I cried as I tried to shoot away, but I was tangled in my covers from where I moved so much trying to find the light switch.
"Sh, Bella." he murmured, and I could somewhat make out a shadow of a tall person make their way towards me slowly, ad if taunting me, making me wait until they struck.
"No!" I shrieked, jerking over and falling into a heap on the floor. Everything hurt, although legitimately pinpoint what hurt worse. My ears were ringing violently and everything around me was disoriented and twisting. My head pounded obnoxiously and my knees and elbows hurt from how I fell.
I tried to take a breath and even though it worked I found no comfort in the air. I hated myself for that. I hated how I was feeling now.
I laid down on my side and buried around myself, not even bothering to fight when a pair of warm arms wrapped around me and crashed me against a hard and warm chest. The person somehow brought me comfort, and I was going to enjoy that while I was allowed to.
Whoever it was sat me down on something soft, and I jumped when a dim light clicked on at my side. I recognized my surroundings ad soon as I saw them, the light brown walls, medium brown carpet, and dark brown furniture, along with the flat screen TV and various pictures and figurines that sat around me.
I looked at the lamp, and saw Edward standing beside of it, his hand still on the light switch, his eyes filled with sadness and panic and I could see the tears that were pooling in the corner of his eyes as I looked at him and I realized what had just happened. What I had done.
Tears overflowed my eyes, although this time for a whole new reason, and Edward rushed to my side and picked me up before sitting back down and pulling me into his lap, burying his face in my hair and pulling me closer to his chest as my tears soaked into his white t-shirt.
"I'm sorry, so so sorry." I whispered shakily when my tears had slowed down. Edward had witnessed me after I had bad dreams before, but not like this. I had only had those dreams when Esme and Carlisle were here and he was in his bedroom in the basement. Now he was in Esme and Carlisle's old bedroom and could hear me.
"Sh, don't apologize." he whispered sounding shook up but he was trying to hide it so I pretended I didn't notice.
He began rocking he softly, but even when Esme did this it didn't work, especially when I was still shook up this much.
I sniffed and scooted off of his lap, knowing I was probably getting uncomfortable to him, and I scooted to the edge of the couch, a little surprised when he went with me, but glad when he wrapped his arms around me after pulling the thick tan blanket off the back of the couch over us and kissing my forehead softly.
I fell asleep quickly, although it was a restless deep, but it was the best night's sleep I've had in a long time.
~OoOoO~
Okay, so as you can see, Bella has dome issues from her past that's following her and ever now hat it's over she still gets freaked out by it.
In case anyone didn't catch it, Esme and Carlisle were killed in a car crash when Bella was 14, and now she's 17. Edward was 23 at the time (I know, I know, I actually did math) and now he's 26.
This is and Edward and Bella story, but it will be a slow transformation, although both of then have feelings for one another that are more than just stepbrother and sister. Remember, Bella is not legal yet and Edward is going to feel awkward about that. Anything between them will be completely legal because I don't agree with relationships that aren't.
Edward and Bella will not have any other relationships in this story and there will be no cheating.
