THE DREAM

She woke up gasping for breath, like she had the past few nights. She reached over to the lamp on her bedside table and turned it on. She looked around and realized she was in her room in Forks, Washington. She quickly looked over to the corner, no Edward. She thought it odd that he wasn't there, normally when she had a bad dream he was right by her side, like he could sense it. She sat there a moment before she shut the light off and lay back down. She closed her eyes and fell back to sleep…..

She sat straight up and screamed, she had broken out in a sweat. Dean sat up and wrapped his arms around her and Sam sat on the edge of his bed and looked at her with great concern. "Bella, please tell us what is bothering you. This has happened three nights in a row now." Dean almost whispered.

"Bella, we might be able to help you," Sam added.

Bella looked at Sam and then at Dean. She then sighed and rested her head on Dean's shoulder, then took a deep breath and looked straight ahead. "He was chasing me up a stairwell. He grabbed my foot and tripped me up and pinned me to the stairs. His eyes were black, demon black. It was weird, but at the same time, it looked as if he wanted to rape and kill me."

"Did he have a face? I mean, can you describe him?" Sam asked.

"He's in this room right now," Bella said.

Sam looked at Dean and Dean looked back at Sam, then Bella lifted her head and looked at Dean.

"Me?" Dean questioned. "Baby, I'd never do anything to hurt you. You know that, right?"

"I know you wouldn't baby, but how do I know this dream isn't going to come true? I mean, you were possessed, and Sam was once before," Bella stated.

Dean held Bella close. "Baby, we cannot promise I will not get possessed, but I will try my hardest to keep it from happening."

Bella hugged Dean and then kissed him and laid back down. She closed her eyes and fell fast asleep…..

She suddenly awoke and sat up, reaching over to the lamp on her bedside table. She looked around to see she was in her bedroom in Forks, Washington. She looked around to the corner to see Edward rushing to her side. He wrapped his arms around her as he sat down next to her. "Hush now, don't say a word. It was just a dream."

Bella cuddled up to Edward and felt safe in his arms as she fell back to sleep. A black 1967 Chevy Impala sat parked out in front of her house…..
