I don't own Twilight.
Chapter 2. The Midst
Edward's POV
Bella… Bella…
Why are my eyes like this? As if the dryness that it's been having forever were washed away. And my hands… my body… I don't feel cold, I'm not sparkling… Why am I wearing this gown? Wait… I can remember this… this is the gown from the hospital… Yes… this was the thing that I was wearing before I was saved by Carlisle. My dear father, I don't know how he feels right now… And my Bella... My promises… Renesmee… What could have happened to them? Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie…
"My son... have no worries… they will be fine." I voice suddenly erupted and I don't know where it came from. "Who are you?" I asked in too much wonder. Then there was a tiny sparkle emerging in front of me. This sparkle started to glow larger and larger as it formed a shape of a human body. I recognized this face… it was too long ago… I can't believe she's in front of me…
"Ma?!" I approached her and hugged her so tight. "My son, Edward… finally we see each other again… We've been watching you all along… I'm very proud of you, my son..."
How can this be? This isn't happening. "Where are we, Ma? What is this place?" I let go of my hug for a second. "This is what we call Tthe Midst, Edward. I saw that you have no faith of what will happen after your vampire life, but you know my son, Carlisle's right all along. He just doesn't know what it really is, but there is… only for you… it became complicated. The One were so surprised of you and your behalf Bella. It is something exceptional. That is why I was summoned to go here and meet you."
"He said you have to back my son. I never thought that you will be given this gift. I should probably say, this is a reward for you, for having the will to fight everything… you've been good. I'm proud to have you as my son. You see Edward, when I begged Carlisle to transform you; I was so desperate, because you were so young then. There is so much for you to experience, and I can't bear the fact that you will die being neglected of the beauty of life just because of the sickening war and the Spanish Influenza that we acquired. Carlisle is a very noble man, he raised you well. And you even how hard it is for you, you still stand up for what you believe in. This new life is for you Edward...you'll be surprised."
"You have to go back, and this time it will be different. You will remember everything at the right place and at the right time. Close your eyes my son. We will meet again…"
I'm confused. I have lots of questions in my mind. I don't want to go yet but I was starting to drift away already. "Wait!…Ma! Ma…ma…"
