Okay I'm so so sorry for the delay. Last week was the last week for third quarter and I had some tests to study for. Yesterday I stayed up until midnight and got new moon on DVD!! It was awesome. And Wal-Mart was crazy, to prove the craziness I got kicked in the leg. And my brother says I'm obsessed. Anyway back to the story.

"Next time when you say you are going to a movie for ten year olds I am in." Rose says. I just nod and say that I am going to take a shower. After getting my body squeaky clean I wrap the towel around my body and put on sweats and a sweatshirt, I grab Pride and Prejudice and read the rest of my day away.
NOW BPOV
I kept walking blindly in the darkness. I had no idea where I was or when it was I just remember waking up in a pitch black room. Right now I think I'm walking or more like stumbling down a hallway.
"Hello, is anyone there?!" I scream out but once again was met by silence. My heart seemed to pound even louder.
"Come here." A voice rasped. It sounded like the voice in all those horror movies the one that you go away from but being in the darkness and quiet so long I followed it. "Turn left." the voice rasped again. Turning I finally see light that seemed unnaturally bright against the blackness.
Smiling I ran towards the light. I didn't stumble or trip as I went into.... my bedroom? Except it wasn't. It had my things in it's usual messy place and the paint was the same. Everything was the same but it just had an eerie feeling about it. I walk toward my bed to see the book that was opened on it. the title didn't make any sense. And then I see a flash of bronze and my neck is on fire as I can feel the life fading out of me. So that's what it meant.
The book was Dracula and I breathed my last breath as I once again fell into darkness.
I wake up with a start my heart pounding wildly. Looking around everything is in its right place. Book shelf, chair, ominous silhouette, desk, TV. Wait a minute. I quickly turn on the light and turn to where I saw the figure only to find my wall. Man I must be paranoid.
I get out of my bed and wrap my robe around me as I carefully walk down the stairs into the kitchen. It's so nice to be alone with no workers asking if they can get you something. I have two arms and legs that aren't broken, most of the time. Opening the fridge I get out milk and turn on one of the lamps that give off little light but enough to see where you are going without falling. I get a teapot and find some powdered chocolate. I pour the milk into the teapot and turn on the burner. Ten minutes later it starts to squeak and I quickly put out the flames and grab a glass from the cabinet.
"Couldn't sleep, huh?" A male voice said. I look up startled to see Carlisle(don't be mad at me).
"Uh no nightmare. What about you?" I ask pouring the hot milk into the glass and put in a couple of spoonful's of the chocolate.
"Not used to sleeping in a different house is all." he says. "Why hot chocolate when it's almost summer?"
"I don't know. I remember when I had a nightmare when I was 6 during the winter mom brought me down here and fixed me some hot cocoa. Now whenever I can't sleep or have a nightmare I have this whether it's winter or summer." I pause, well he is the king. "Would you like some?"
"As tempting as that sounds I am afraid if I have that I will never be able to go back to bed." was it me or did he seem to wrinkle his nose in distaste at the thought of drinking this? huh must be seeing things. "So this Lauren girl, you and her don't get along."
"Please not getting along is an understatement. It's more like me and her hate each other with a burning passion." I say and get an ice cube from the freezer to cool down my drink.
"Why do you hate her?" He questioned leaning forearms on his forearms that were resting on the counter top. I pull up a stool to sit down on.
"Well back when I was younger I always thought I was some sort of" I pause, hmmm how to put this? " I believed I could see the future in my dreams. Or close to that. I would have this crazy dream leading to something that would always happen to be true. And they all start the same, I'm stumbling through a hallway that is pitch black a voice says come here I see a light and go to it. And then it's always different, one time it was my classroom I go in to sit down and things wrap around my feet and chest and arms so I couldn't move and barely breathe and then these dogs came out and started tearing me apart like some rag doll. when I woke up I realized the dogs had F's blackened into there body's so I study math and sure enough there was a test the next day. And tonight I walked in my room and saw the book"
"Saw what book." Carlisle seemed genuinely curious.
"nothing that is not important. Anyways Lauren and Jessica were my friends back then and I told them about this. the told everyone in school and I became a social outcast until I met my true friend a month later. Ever since then we have been playing pranks on each other and hating the other one with a burning passion." I gulped down the last of my drink and started to feel drowsy. "Well I hope that explains enough I'm going to bed. Goodnight your highness." I say and walk towards the exit but stop when he calls my name.
"Esme is your godmother which makes me your godfather." Uh where is he going with this? "What I mean is I think of us as family so I would like for you to call me Carlisle." I turn around to give him a timid smile.
"Of course your high- oops I mean Carlisle." He smiles at me and I trudge upstairs back into my room and snuggle under the blankets. but as I fall asleep I can't shake the feeling someone is watching me.
I yawn and stretch my arms and slowly open my eyes to see the body builder inches from my face grinning madly. so I do what any sane person would do when they see someone that close in the morning right when they wake up. So I let out a scream, twist away from him and I fall off the bed in the process of doing so. He starts laughing so I get up and glare at him, seeing this Emmett stops laughing and runs out my door.
I get up and run after him. He is so dead! When I finally see him again he is running down the grand staircase. I carefully slide down the banister surfer style and when he reaches the bottom I'm at the end of the railing and jump off land on his back and put him in a headlock. After struggling for a couple minutes he freezes. I look up to see all the Cullen's (including the hot Edward with bed hair) and my parents. I just realized that we were all in pajamas and I smile sheepishly at my parents. I mean what would you say when your daughter had the Kings son in a headlock wearing bobby jack pajamas?
"Emmett Mrs. Swan said to wake her up not scare her to death." Edward said in his musical voice. my god I could listen to it all day. Oh wait I should probably get down now. Unwrapping my legs from around his waist I try top get down but my feet didn't reach the floor. So I release my arms from around his neck to try and land gracefully on the floor. Keyword 'try' because I fell on the floor once I let go. Emmett just laughed his booming laugh as I put on my best 'I'm going to kill you' look.
"Emmett I would stop. the last time she had that look a guy from her school got suspended." my father says as Emmett's face turns into one of horror and I just smile sweetly at him. I get up still smiling going over all the things I could do to him. I am so evil. "Well you didn't get up for nothing Bells it's time for breakfast." we walked towards the dining room and this time all the Cullen's looked queasy. what is up with that? Maybe it had something to do with the dream. No Bella remember those things were just coincidences you can't actually see the future.
I sit down in one of the soft wooden chairs will trying to put my messy hair up into a ponytail. Once we were all seated Alice sat to my right with Jasper across from her, Rose to my left Emmett sitting across from her and the same with my parents to Rose's left and Carlisle and Esme to Alice's right. And lucky me Edward sat right across from me. When I caught his eye he smiled but still looked slightly uncomfortable. The maids came out holding trays of waffles, pancakes, sausages, bacon, eggs, and rolls. the sight of the food made my mouth water. I filled my plate and poured myself a glass or apple juice. Everyone else filled their plates but Emmett filled his plate so much that he started putting food on top of food making a food tower! My eyes just widen.
"My god how much can you eat?" I say in astonishment.
"What can I say I'm a growing boy." He says and stuffs his mouth with food. when breakfast was halfway over the Cullen's looked sick and Emmett looked like he was about to puke but I brushed it off thinking I was seeing things again. I picked up my glass and was taking a sip when I felt a foot rubbing against my leg. before I could stop myself I pit out my drink which sprayed all over Edward. Everyone remained quiet but the foot wouldn't stop rubbing. So I cracked because I knew exactly who this was.
"Emmett Rose is more to you left." I say through clenched teeth as he look embarrassed and Rose looked like she wanted the floor to swallow her and everyone just laughed at my expense. "Sorry about the juice Edward." I say but to my relief he just chuckles using the napkin to wipe away the remaining juice on his face.
"It's quite alright. if I was in your position I would do the same thing."
"Okay on to different things Bella dear you look exhausted did you get any sleep?" Esme asked. Why is the attention always focused on me?
"Um yeah just had a nightmare that's all."
"Was it about Emmett harassing you with his foot?" Alice says and everyone is laughing at me again. With my cheeks heating up I say an excuse me and dash out the door into the stables. I walked in and got some sugar cubes and fed them to Blur. Shivering form the cool spring air which should be warm by now I put on one of my d\spare jackets and a pair of shoes. I led Blur out and made her get on her knees so I could get on. then she took off into the woods. Going onto the path we were so familiar with. I relaxed as I felt the wind in my hair. and in 30 minutes we were there. My oasis. the beautiful purple, white, and yellow flowers circled the small area in full bloom and just in the distance there was a small waterfall that I swim in sometimes.
I go over to the middle of the meadow and lie down falling into a deep slumber.
My leg throbbed and my vision was hazy. I blinked rapidly to focus in on my surroundings. I was in my old ballet studio. I tried to get up but my leg protested and I slumped back down whimpering at the pain.
Finally a man came into view. He was heartbreakingly beautiful like the Cullen's but instead of having honey eyes they were a maroon red. He had black silky hair and his skin looked papery and I was afraid that if I touched it, it would fall away to ash.
He glided over gracefully and lifted my chin to look in to his eyes. They closed for a second before he opened them back up looking confused and amazed.
"Such a waste." He says. "you know you would make for a good member of the guard."
"Just get on with it." A blond man with corn silk hair says.
The black haired man leans closer before he stops as he hears a noise that only he seemed to hear. He looks towards the door as Edward bursts in looking flustered but still beautiful. His eyes search mine and he seems to relax marginally before he locks eyes with my killer.
"Please don't." Edward says in a strangled voice. "please Aro I'll do anything." He steps forward but someone in a black cloak held him back. He looked to me and I smiled hoping to relieve some of his pain.
"Edward." My captor, Aro says. "The only way she gets to live is to change her." What does he mean change me?
"No I won't take away her soul." He struggles to get out of the mans grasp but just another came to hold him back.
"Then I have no choice but to kill her." Before he can come closer Alice bursts in.
"Aro Bella will be one of us I've seen it." Aro nods for one of the guards to make sure Edward doesn't get closer or I make an escape. He goes to Alice and holds on to her hand before a smile reaches his face.
"Amazing to see what hasn't happened. Go, go now make your preparations." The guards let go of Edward and the one by me moves aside as Edward comes and picks me up bridal style. While walking towards the door the blond one spoke again.
"I would like to advise you that the Volturi don't give second chances." Edward and Alice nod and we or they walk out back out. We walk into the cool night and I snuggle into Edward. Once in the car Edward still wouldn't let me go and I was falling asleep.
"I love you." He says before my world goes black.
I wake up sore from sleeping on the ground. That was new. Who were the Volturi? And who was Aro? what did he mean to change me? Did Edward say he loved me? instead of being relaxed and refreshed like I always am after being here I am more confused.
I lift my wrist up only to realize I was still in my pajamas. I go to Blur and hop on her riding back home. Back at the stables I realize I was out for four hours. Seeing the time my stomach growled so I put Blur back into the stable and walk inside.
I can't get far before I see Jasper who looks confused and relieved at my attire.
"You do know everyone is looking for you right?"
"Well my parents should know where I have been."
"Then you might want to go tell them that before they get the marines to look for you." Ugh stupid over protective parents. I walk into my fathers office to once again see all the Cullen's, excluding Jasper that was at my side, and my parents.
"Hey mom, dad, Cullen's." I say nonchalantly. My mother gets up and pulls me into a tight hug.
"Where were you?" She asks frantically.
"At my meadow." I say slowly as if talking to a five year old. "You should have known that I go there almost everyday."
"Yes but you usually tell us your going there." she says.
"What's the meadow?" Alice questions.
"Something I found in the woods years ago. It's my own oasis. um I'm going to go change." I rush upstairs and pull on a ratty pair of jeans and a loose band t-shirt.
I go to the computer and Google Volturi only to come up with a royal family that died years ago. Clicking on a picture I see a painting of Aro, the blonde haired man, and a brown haired man next to him. but if they were dead then what did the dream mean?
