And oh, my dreams,
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.

THESE DREAMS
Cold, I was so cold. The dark forest closed in around me as I ran, tall cedars spreading their fingers to block out the sun. Webs of moss hung from the sky, while the ferns spread and grew like an incoming emerald tide. It was green death nipping at my heels as I raced down an ever narrowing path. Sometimes I almost made it to the clearing at the end of the trail before creeping vines coiled themselves around my ankles and pulled me down into the musty earth. Most of the time though, the fern sea just engulfed me, pushing the air from my lungs as I screamed his name "Edward"
That was always when I woke up trembling and sobbing, alone in the dark. My own piercing cries waking me up.
Tonight had been no different, this nightmare exactly the same as all the others. I'd been engulfed into a sea of green and no one had been there to hear my calls.
As I opened my eyes however the dream changed. He was standing in the corner of my bedroom watching me. A tortured look in his topaz eyes, his marble jaw clenched as if in pain. Edward looked so real that for a moment I actually believed I was awake. I could see the dark circles under his wounded eyes and almost make out the blue of his t-shirt, as he gazed down at me.
I knew this was impossible, I knew he wasn't really here. He had left me months ago, left me as if he'd never existed. This was just a ghostly apparition my anguished mind was indulging in. Something to help me through another long night.
Reaching out my hand to the ghost of Edward I allowed myself to bask in the fantasy.
He hesitated for just a second then moved slowly towards me, never taking his eyes off my face. When his cold fingers found mine I closed my eyes, I was not going to allow myself to wake up from this.

So this story started out as Bella's dream, a 'one shot' bit of fluff and it became (as all my stories do) something else entirely. The first five chapters are Bella's "dream" The next five are Edward's POV of her dream. Finally Edward and Bella have a confrontation and you'll have to read and see how that turns out. Most of the characters from S.M's books make an appearance i.e Jacob, Charlie, Sam,Carlise and Alice. It's a sexy story with a-lot of angst. I hope you enjoy it. J bug
