A dark never-ending path was all that was in sight. My tall muscular build twists and twitches every way possible, as I tried as hard as I could to fight the compressed air of my surroundings to the end of the path where millimetres of sunlight floated. Easy enough to get, but I was holding myself back a little. I was telling myself it was impossible. Suddenly my good nature attitude disappeared and I was holding a wrench, shocking, spine refracting pain over came me and I was free of all cares. I sprinted to the patch of luminance and it caught me first. It clenched my throat...
I woke myself up in a cold sweat and looked over to the clock. 5:30 am. Great, 2 more hours of nightmares. My breathing uneven, I felt tense. That dream just seemed too reverent to everything happening. Too tired to contradict this, I collapsed back onto my bed and fell asleep instantly.
************************************************************
The morning went past in a blur. I visited Renee in the hospital before going to the air port and the next thing I knew I was here sitting on an uncomfortable, rocky mountain, plane chair. An average teen, with average crap going on in his life, and blocking out as much as I could with, not so average music. I'm a classical kind of guy, Debussy- Clair De Lune to be exact. In Phoenix I was also average. Not too many friends to hang with. I didn't really want any and I was a pale freak, who wouldn't try to avoid? My only loves ever in my life were truly music and Renee. And NO I'm not a "mommas" boy; I just really respect her for everything she's done for me. So girlfriends only happened twice (and I was second choice...) Thinking about my boring life actually brought me to think that it might get better Forks! But before letting any hope enter my thoughts I shut that notion out. How could my life become more exciting in a place with a population of around 2000 people? I also don't really fancy dark, dreary, clouds and constant downpour. Ha. Forks... fun? Amusing.
The plane started to shake and I awoke from a dreamless sleep. I sat up in a jump and looked all around me, to my right directly were a couple. A very happy, content, and unbelievably gorgeous couple. The woman had a stunning, and welcoming smile, hazelnut brown, silky, wavy and perfect hair, and her skin was paler than mine and was marble like. The man sitting next to her, I'm guessing was her husband. Both looked barely over 23. The man had golden blonde hair that and was also perfect. I bet they both had somewhere important to be. People who looked that gorgeous must have a life worth something. Suddenly the woman caught my stare with glaring honey golden eyes. She whispered something to the man and he also glared at me through golden eyes. They held my gaze hypnotically for what seem like minutes but was only about 5 seconds. Finally the women spoke. A soft tone escaping her lips. "Excuse me but can I ask what your name is young man?"
Was she talking to me? Was her velvet voiced question actually directed toward me? I glanced around and realized that it was. "I'm, uhh Edward Swan." I replied quietly.
She heard me and smiled. "I'm Esme and this is Carlise. I was wondering, are you going to Forks Washington?"
Another question? "Yes I am." was all I could let my voice tell her. I would have probably tried to make conversation with her only Carlisle almost couldn't find a smile unlike his wife. His behaviour was almost repelling but alluring at the same time. Then De-ja-vu swept over me. The same feeling I had in that strange dream ... But I didn't want to have conflict with myself over a silly dream. And luckily Esme broke into my thoughts.
"So are we. Carlisle here says your Chief Swan's son right? We're acquainted with him ourselves."
I nodded in agreement and rudely shoved my ear phones back into my ears. I closed my eyes and inside started to freak out! Forks? They were also going to Forks? Whoa. And acquainted with Charlie?
As I drifted into another nap, I had a feeling my trip to Forks was going to be surprising...
*******************************************************************************************************************
My sleep was interrupted by an announcement that we were landed. Not enthuastic at all I got off the plane and hauled my hood over my head and messy bronze hair. I went and got my bags and followed unusually quiet Charlie to the police cruiser. Sure we hugged when I had reached him in the airport, but he seemed a little shaken. On the way to his house I tried to make conversation by filling him in on the Phil situation. I also mentioned Jasper and how I wanted to see him as soon as possible.
"Yeah so ... I can't wait to see Jasper dad, I feel a little weirded out about the whole Phil thing. He always helps me through this stuff."
Charlie's thick black eye brows creased in worry, his chocolate eyes hurt and they glistened with tears. "I forgot to mention... Edward... J-jasper, he's been missing for 3 days. Don't be mad but I was happy when your mom called to tell me that you wanted to come here for a while because I figured that you would be able to help Alice, who was very close to him, Emmett, and Rosalie through this situation..."
The car stopped. After hearing that from Charlie I didn`t want him to see me in this much rage that I felt growing within me. When did I get such a temper? I got out of the car and slammed the door. What was Charlie thinking, me helping them through this? I'm the one who wanted help! I angrily rushed to the house and also slammed that door when I got in. I then stopped in my tracks and peered around at the curious eyes staring at me. Wondering. Alice, always the braver one, asked her question out loud.
"Oh Hi Edward! We've been expecting you ... Did you hear about Jasper?" Alice was her quirky self.
"YES Alice I heard. About five seconds ago! How can you act so alive when he could be dead?!" I was yelling. I didn't usually yell at her. But today wasn't usually and Jasper wasn't here. How could someone not yell?
Emmett was about to stick up for his hurt little sister but then the phone made all our heads turn and made us all gasp. RING RING RING!
