Here it is! Chapter 2! Sorry it took soo(so many 'o's later)oo long, but, as I warned you before, I like to procrastinate (plus, I have to share a computer), so... yeah. Also, I'm sorry to say that my inspiration for this story sort of died soon after the first chapter was posted. So, this chapter will probably suck, since I pretty much forced myself to write it, but I figured those of you who want the story to continue, had waited long enough (more than enough, actually).

Enjoy~ (Or at least try to)

I was in a dark forest. At least, I thought it was a forest. It was much too dark to see, but the soft crunching of leaves beneath my feet made me believe so. I tried looking around, searching for any bit of light, but found none. I wouldn't have been sure that I actually looked in different directions, had I not felt my body move.

How did I get here? The last thing I remember was going to sleep. I thought it over for a second. Maybe this is a dream?

A shudder ran through my body as a warm, eerie wind blew from behind me, slightly rustling my hair. It sounded like breathing. I looked over my shoulder, half expecting to see a monster of some sort standing there, breathing down my neck. However, much to my relief, I was only greeted with blackness. Granted, the dark really isn't something that should comfort me so, but I'd much rather not be able to see what was out there, especially if it were a terrifying monster. Despite the fact I was quite sure this was a dream, though how real everything felt made me question that fact, I couldn't help but feel the same fear I would have if it were a real-life situation.

A swift stir of leaves quickly caught my attention. I looked in front of me, but, once again, saw nothing.

"H-hello?" I called out into the darkness. There was no reply.

Of course no one answered, stupid! If it is some kind of monster, do you honestly expect them to let you know they're out there? I tried to be angry with myself, but it was only an attempt to cover up my fear.

Another rustle of leaves sounded, this time it was much closer. I looked around again, trying to spot its cause, but my effort was in vain. I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling even more panicked than before. Something soft brushed against my hand, it felt like fur. I yelped, and quickly jumped away. However, I tripped over a fallen branch in the process, causing me to fall down onto my back.

"Ow." I moaned as I sat up and rubbed the lower part of my back. Thank goodness this was a dream, otherwise that probably would have left a bruise.

A soft whimper came from in front of me - directly in front of me - and I froze. It sounded somewhat like a dog, but in the darkness I couldn't have been sure. Still, picturing whatever it was as a normal dog seemed to calm my nerves a bit. I took my hand from my pained back, and reached out in front of me, feeling around for the "dog".

"Are you still there?" I didn't feel quite as stupid this time; I was sure there someone, or rather something, there to hear me, and whatever it was apparently didn't want to hurt me. Also, I really don't know how to explain it, but somehow I suddenly felt comfortable around the creature.

My hand finally came in contact with the soft fur I had felt earlier. Slowly, I began to pet what I assumed was its head. It was so warm. The "dog" laid its head on my lap. That's when I finally noticed how big it was, and it was huge! Its head alone nearly covered up both my legs. I couldn't imagine how big its whole body was, though that did make me a bit curious.

"I wish there was light, so I could see you." I mused quietly.

As if on cue, light instantly filled the area, like someone had just flicked the light switch to the sun on. I was immediately greeted with a large mass of russet fur, beginning from my legs, and trailing off to my side. The bundle closely resemble a wolf, though it was about the size of a horse, so, evidently, my dog guess really wasn't that far off.

I looked about my surroundings. Everything was so green! From the emerald blades of grass below me, to the jade trees above. Even the bark of the trees were green with moss.

The wolf raised its head suddenly, its ears perked up. I wondered if it was because I had stopped petting it. However, as it stood up and began to growl at something behind me, I quickly thought otherwise. I stood up, as well, reawakening the gentle throbbing in my back, and turned around. Looking through the greenery, I searched for what had caused the calm, gentle creature before to change so abruptly to the vicious beast that stood behind me.

Something yellow stuck out from the green about ten feet away from me. I recognized the figure as a person, a girl, and it didn't take me long to realize who that girl was.

Bella! I recognized the bright yellow raincoat I had given her before she left for Forks. However, something odd about her. Her skin was far more paler than I had remembered. There was something about her expession, too. She looked lifeless. I noticed something red stained on the pale skin of her neck. Was that blood?

I tried to take a step toward her, to make sure she was okay, but something tugged on my shirt, halting my movements. I looked over my shoulder, and saw the wolf with a small bunch of my shirt in it huge mouth. When I didn't respond, it pulled my shirt again, this time with a bit more force. I stumbled backwards, and would have fallen, had I not caught myself on the wolf's shoulder. I glared up at it as it turn its head to look at me.

My glare fell.

Its eyes - its gorgeous, black-brown eyes - stared pleadingly at me. Something told me, I'm not really sure what, to I should listen to the wolf.

"But I know her, she's my friend. She wouldn't hurt me." I wasn't sure if I was reassuring the wolf, or reassuring myself. Its eyes stayed on me, still pleading.

Sighing, I looked down at my feet. I was about to agree to stay put, but I felt the wolf's body grow suddenly rigid beneath my hand. I looked back up, but immediately wished I hadn't. The wolf's eyes were still on me, however, instead of the gentle pleading they had held a moment before, they were murderous and savage, like it would jump at the next thing it saw and kill it. I was a bit relieved when it turned its harsh gaze away from me, and faced its front again. My fears stirred up again when I realized that the killing stare was now aimed at Bella. I looked back at her, wanting to see what it was about her that made the wolf so angry. I gasped at what I saw.

Bella was no longer alone. There was a enticing young man with her, about six feet tall, with messy, bronze colored hair. What really caught my attention was not his beauty, but his extremely pale skin. Besides being abnormally white, it seemed to sparkle, like a radiant diamond, in the sunlight. He had his arm wrapped around Bella in a loving sort of manner. She did not return the gesture, however, for she was still frozen with that deathly expression, staring ahead at the wolf. Looking closer, I noticed his lips were dripping with something crimson. Was it blood? Could it have been Bella's blood? But, then, that would make him...

"A vampire?" he spoke, his voice just as captivating as his looks. It could have easily swooned any girl, but instead made me take a fearful step back, and cower at the wolf's side. He chuckled softly, his eyes staring straight at me. "You're rather perceptive, aren't you?"

My eyes widened in shock. Could he hear what I was thinking? I didn't have much time to ponder it, because a loud growl snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked over at the wolf as it step forward in front of me, blocking the vampire from my view, or rather, blocking me from his. The wolf lunged forward. I was about to tell it to stop - I knew quite a few vampire stories, and they told me that this vampire could, and would, kill the wolf easily - when I heard a sudden loud smacking sound, like the wolf had collided with a brick wall.

I could barely comprehend anything after that. The wolf and vampire were fighting, their teeth bared viciously at each other. I thought I heard Bella screaming something at some point. "Edward! No!" is what it sounded like. The wolf made another lunge for the vampire, but missed. I thought he was going to turn to hit the wolf while it was recovering, but instead he ran toward me. I squeaked in surprise and fear, closed my eyes, and covered my head with my arms. I waited for the impact, but it never came. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the dimly lit ceiling of my bedroom.

I sat up, and looked around. It was definitely my room. After the confirmation, I plopped back down on my bed and hugged the covers to me.

So, it was really just a dream? But it seemed so real...

FINALLY! I FINALLY GOT IT DONE!

I am so so so SO sorry it took forever for me to get this up. I could give you a bunch of excuses as to why it took so long, but I doubt you want to hear any of them. I'll try to get the next chapter up sooner, which shouldn't be hard since this one took me, like, 2+ months. However, a bit of my inspiration is coming back to me so that will help.

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I pretty much suck at fight(ish) scenes. So, hopefully Cat will stay away from the fighting so I won't have to worry about it. Probably not, though. I didn't really read over this one too much, because I was in a hurry to post it. So, if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry!

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day/night/whenever you're reading this!
