Enjoy Your time In La-La-Land
~Bella's Point Of View~
The beautiful Boy that had stumbled into the World that I'm trapped in looked into the river. His panicked look told me something was wrong. He only saw his reflection and already he was frightened. He shook his head. For some reason, he had tears running down his face. He felt his pulse and more tears spilled over his green eyes. My breath caught when he uttered his first words here. Not because of what he said, rather, the perfection of his voice was amazing.
"What is this Hell?" He whispered.
"This place is called La-La-Land. I'm sorry you ended up here." I whispered in his ear, putting my arms around his shoulders, hoping to comfort him in some way. My memories of the first few years in this place. For this man, it would be easier. He had someone to help him through this time. He wouldn't be alone. Though, some part of me wished that I could have passed back into the real world when he came here. That was against the rules of this place though.
I felt him fall into me. I looked at our position, it reminded me of when I watched my father comfort my mother when I disappeared. I had watched from the pool of ice. It was the only place you could look upon your family and friends. I knew he would want to see that. Soon I promised myself.
It seemed like It had only been a few minutes, but I had learned to tell time in this place. It had been an hour since he had arrived in La-La-Land. He had a long time ahead of him. He pulled away, rubbing at his eyes, "I'm sorry you had to see that." He sniffed.
He looked at me, taking in my appearance. I looked back at him, taking in his appearance. His untidy copper hair shined in the sun, making it look almost golden. His features were pointed, almost like he had been carved from stone and made to perfection. The creator of this world had probably placed him into his clothes, like they had mine. He wore a white button up shirt, a white tie, and beige pants. He too was barefoot, and like me he had a silver chain around his ankle.
"When I woke up here I wanted someone to wake me from this nightmare," I paused, thinking back to the beginning of this mess, "I didn't have anyone to hold me when I cried. I thought you might need it." I averted my eyes from him, warmth spread across my face. "My name is Bella."
His silence made me nervous, I didn't dare look up to meet his eyes. I just waited for him to speak, "My name is Edward."
The winds picked up, I knew that it was coming close to the dusk. He had just lost his family. He would never be able to speak to them again. One more nightmare would come to me tonight. I looked at him quickly. Would he have nightmares too? Time could only tell.
"If you don't mind me asking, Bella, what happened to you?" He asked. Curiosity coloured his eyes. I gave him a week smile.
"I was," I looked at him now, "Walking with my sister, Coraline, I fell through the roots of a tree into blackness. When I was falling, I heard my sister scream my name. I was afraid to close my eyes for the longest time. I just kept looking down, scramming for anyone to save me. I finally decided the impact was going to come soon. I shut my eyes and prayed to God to catch me." I had cried so many times that it was hard to believe that I could shed more now, "Then when I opened my eyes, I saw this place. I was entranced. It was beautiful. I found this stream, and the water was so tasty. I wondered this place for days. Just looking for someone to tell me where I was. I finally realized I was alone here. I was devastated. I've been here since 1934 in the real world. It's a long time to be alone with your thoughts."
"Indeed." Edward said, he looked like he wanted to say something more, but he didn't. He just looked away from me, in thought. I bit my lips together. He was confusing.
I looked up at the horizon, where the sun began to dip beneath the distant mountains. I'd been to them and back, beyond them was just an endless sea where the waves were purple. This place was crazy. I wiped away the tears again. Knowing I was only hours away from the nightmares. My mind was going to run rampant with the terrors of being alone without anyone to help you.
"It seems that it's time to build a fire for the night." He said, looking with me to the darkness to come. I nodded. That was the only thing I was allowed to do for the past few decades in this nightmare world. He stood and approached a tree. He pulled off a small branch. It grew back instantly. He gasped and looked at me, then back at the tree. He pulled it off again, seeing that it kept growing back he gathered many of the same branch and set them together in an area cleared of grass. Soon he had a fire going.
"Would you like me to go and get some fruits?" I asked Edward. I knew that he would be getting hungry all too soon. His eyes strayed not an inch from the fire as he nodded. His tacit approval was all I needed to go off in the direction of the Trees that help what I called Joujee Fruits. They were like apples that tasted of sweet butterscotch toffee's. There skin was blue freckled with black. At first sight I avoided it, favouring things that were somewhat familiar. Like the green banana's that actually tasted like cotton candy. When I started to become suicidal I tried everything I could get my hands on. Unfortunately, there was nothing in La-La-Land that could kill you.
I was lost in thought when out of the corner of my i thought I could see something moving. I slowly turned, It was dark now. I could see The fire in the distance. The fruits were in my arms. I had a thrill of fear running down my spine. I knew there was nothing to fear in this world. I had never come across something living other than the plants. Still, my legs carried me swiftly back to where Edward had set up the fire.
~Alice's Point Of View~
We all took turns going into the hole in the ground, Emmett was panicked. He was blaming himself for Edwards disappearance. I kept telling him it was an unpredictable, random, once in a lifetime occurrence. I was glad that Esme and Carlisle were back at the house and hadn't been here to witness the Harry Houdini of the Millennium. "Emmett!" I shouted one more time, "If I didn't see it coming then you couldn't have stopped it! For peat's sake shut the heck up!"
"It wouldn't have happened if I had just refrained from calling him a Virgin. I'm sure of it Alice, he wouldn't have attacked me, I wouldn't have dodged, and he wouldn't have hit that stupid tree making it mad so that it killed him." Emmett said in one breath. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
"So." Rose smiled, "You think that if I hit the tree, It will get mad and kill me?" She stepped over to the tree and raised her hand in a fist. "Like this?" She slammed her fist into the tree making a large dent. Emmet flinched and ran to pick her up.
"No! It's going to eat you!" He screamed.
I had a vision of Esme looking like she was on the verge of tears inside the hollow under the tree. I gasped and turned around. She was right behind me. "What's going to eat Rosalie?" I gulped. I turned franticly towards Jasper and with my eyes wide, begged him to lie. He was just as Panicked as I was. His eyes were wide as he stared at Esme. "Where's Edward?"
"The tree ate him." Jasper said, afraid of what was going to happen to Esme.
She barked out a laugh, "No seriously you guys, Where is he?" She looked at me.
"The tree ate him." I said, pointing to the tree in question.
"I'm serious you guys, the school called and wanted him to call back, he got valedictorian." Esme's face turned serious. She glared at Emmett.
He gulped, but said the same thing, "The tree ate him."
"Thats preposterous." She said, a mock smile on her face. "Tell me where he is you guys."
Rosalie walked up to Esme then, "We're telling the truth, He fell into the roots of the tree, ten disappeared. We went down to look, but he's gone."
"No." Esme said, running over to the tree. She looked down into the roots. She didn't stop past a second to consider. She jumped down into the room beneath the tree and I followed her in. She looked like she was going to cry. I held her there for a while. She wept dryly for a while. "Why, Alice? Why did this have to happen?"
"I don't know why Esme," I whispered, "but everything happens for a reason, right?"
