Summary: Bella has a disturbing dream about Jasper, just before she has to spend two whole days and a whole night alone with him. Well, interesting things are just BOUND to happen.
Chapter Two: Confusion
I opened my eyes slowly, and saw Edward sitting in the rocking chair next to my window. I thought it was odd because usually he held me all night.
Then I looked at his eyes, and I understood the reason immediately. His eyes were black as sin.
"Oh Edward…if you need to leave, go ahead…" I said, trailing off as he shook his head.
"No, I'll be fine…" He said, clearly lying.
I sighed and gathered my toiletries.
"Whatever. But your eyes are as black as they've ever been, so I know how thirsty you are. Just think about hunting while I'm taking my human minutes, okay?" I asked. He nodded hesitantly and I smiled and walked into the bathroom.
I wondered what I had said in my sleep, because I couldn't even remember my dream.
But while I was brushing my teeth, it came back to me.
The dream I had had last night was of me and Jasper in a mountain cabin together…
I was so thankful Edward couldn't read my mind as I replayed the kiss.
Flash back
"Sleep, my Bella." He whispered. I felt myself get drowsier at his suggestion. Damn him and his purr of a voice!
I shook my head, and he chuckled. He always found it amusing when I fought off sleep. I didn't know why, but he called it cute.
"Okay…but I want a good night kiss." I whispered, already half asleep, and realizing that was going to fall asleep, whether I wanted to or not.
He laughed his melodious laugh and kissed my forehead.
I opened on of my eyes and glared at him.
"That's not what I meant and you know it!" I said, imitating his growl. Although it didn't sound menacing when I did it. Stupid vampire…
"Of course I know." He said softly before he used one icy hand to gently move my chin up. He kissed me softly, and I would have thrown myself into it, but I couldn't. I was too tired.
I yawned as he pulled away. He laughed and wrapped a warm blanket around me so I wouldn't freeze. Then he pulled me close to him again.
"Good night Bella." He whispered softly in my ear.
"G'night Jazzy." I mumbled, and then I was asleep.
End Flash back
I had no idea why I was suddenly dreaming of Jasper instead of Edward. Maybe it was just a one time thing? I wondered why though. Why would I ever dream of Jasper that way?
I mean, obviously he was hot…his body was perfect, his face was perfect, his hair was perfect….but he was a vampire! They were all perfect!
But if I thought all vampires were perfect, did that mean I was going to start dreaming about Carlisle, Emmet, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme in the same manner?
I shuddered at the thought and quickly crushed it down.
When I entered my room, completely dressed and clean, Edward was laying on my bed, facing my ceiling.
"Well?" I asked as I stood in my door.
He looked up at me and smiled his crooked grin.
"I've decided that I should go on the hunting trip with Carlisle, Esme, Emmet, Rose, and Alice tonight. Is that okay?" He asked, waiting for my answer.
I nodded.
"Yeah." I said, thinking I would be able to see Jake when he was gone. Of course, I would tell him when he came back…
"And please Bella, don't go to La Push. I don't want you there right now. Carlisle told me there is some trouble in the pack, and I don't want you getting mixed up in it. Please Bella." He said, his tone pleading.
I nodded. "Fine." I said, wondering what I would do in the two days he would be gone. Then I thought of something.
"Isn't Jasper going?" I asked.
Edward shook his head, his bronze locks going into even more of disarray.
"No. He's staying here. To watch the house….and watch over you…" He said softly, hoping I wouldn't hear probably.
"What do you mean, watch over me?" I asked, suddenly suspicious. Crap, he wasn't gonna let Jasper kidnap me like he had let Alice, would he?
The thought of Jasper kidnapping me sent a thrill through my body, and I didn't know why. I put it down as fear, but it wasn't.
"Well, I was hoping you would stay at our house while we're away. That way I know you're safe!" He said.
His tone led me to believe he wasn't just talking about safe from myself or safe from the pack.
"What do you mean?" I asked softly.
He hesitated for a few seconds that dragged on for days it seemed.
"Well, we didn't want to tell you unless we had to…but Alice has seen some suspicious activity in her visions, involving you and the Volturri guard." He said softly, his breath barely within my inferior hearing.
"The Volturri?" I asked shakily, recalling images of Aro, Marcus, Caius, Jane, Alec, and the others.
Edward nodded, silent. I could tell he was waiting for my decision.
"So, when do I go over there, and what am I telling Charlie?" I asked as light heartedly as I could.
Edward smiled, although it didn't quit reach his eyes.
"Well, the sooner the better…" He said, clearly trying not to breathe in my scent.
"Okay." I said softly, quickly packing up the clothes and other things I would need.
"Alright love, let's go then, if you're ready." He said as he saw I was done packing. I nodded, and write a quick little note to Charlie, saying I was staying with Alice and he could call there if he wanted.
Edward nodded and we left. I wondered what would happen when I was at their house, all alone with Jasper.
A shiver of anything but fear went down my spine at the thought.
Well, please review! Can't think of anything else to say!
