I am so sorry for the long wait! I had college applications to finish and then the holiday came up and I was swamped, but enough of my excuses. Here is the next chapter. Things are revealed in this chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, only my plot and characters.

Please Review because it makes me smile!

Enjoy :)

I was watching myself run along the beach; no worries or cares. I was laughing and dancing around like a fool. Then a boy came running up and picked me up, twirling me around. I squealed and wrapped my arms around the mystery boy. When I looked closer at the dream me and the boy I could see who the boy was. It was Jacob! What the hell is he doing in my dream? I focused back on the dream me. She looked so happy, so loved and she was looking at Jacob like that. He was looking back at her in the same way, only more intense. He looked at her as if she was the only girl in the world. How could he look at me like that, he hates me?

All of a sudden there was a dark figure standing behind Jacob. It was a demon named Dmitri. His whole family has been after me and my powers since I was born. It was my father who killed Dmitri's father to keep them away from me.

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. Why hadn't I thought of it before? Dmitri killed my father; no one else could have done it. The sight of him in my dream, in my head, made my blood boil.

Dream me noticed Dmitri as well and her eyes widened as she gasped. Jacob looked confused and turned around to see what dream me was looking at but that was a mistake. Dmitri took an energy bolt and shot it through Jacob, piercing him through the chest and heart. Dream me screamed his name and dropped to her knees next to Jacob, sobbing his name, begging him to come back. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and torn to shreds. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think.

Dmitri walked over to her and put his mouth next to her ear.

"This is not the last time you will see me Harper."

Even though he spoke to dream me I could feel his hot breath on my ear, as though he were next to me. I could hear his velvety voice and it sent chills down my spine.

"You are going to suffer, just like my father did. You will watch everyone you love die and then I'll make sure your death is as painful as I can make it. I am going to get you my little elemental. You cannot run from me."

Then he started laughing.

I shot up from the laying position I was in, gasping and sobbing. I felt two arms wrap around me and pull me into their chest. Jacob spoke soothing words while rubbing my back in small circles. Luca's head was in my lap and he was making cooing noises to try and clam me down.

"Shh, Harper, it's okay. You're safe. No one's going to hurt you. Calm down."

It wasn't me I was worried about. It was him. That was no ordinary dream, it was vision. I hugged Jacob closer to me, as if that would protect him. Then I took a couple of deep breaths and calmed myself down. I detached myself from Jacob and a look of hurt and disappointment crossed his face. I wanted to comfort him, to leap back into his arms but I couldn't do that. The farther away from me he is the safer he is.

My mother walked in with a steaming cup of tea. It was an herbal tea that was family tradition, whenever someone was upset, we would give them a cup of the tea and it felt as if everything that was bugging you went away. My mom handed me the mug and I lifted it to my mouth and took a sip. I could feel it spreading throughout my body, chasing my nightmare worries away. I took a few more sips and placed the cup on my side table. I realized I was in my room when I was done destroying Jacob's shirt with my tears. My mother sat on the other side of me and looked me in the eye.

"Harper, I need you to tell me what your dream was about."

My mother wasn't naïve. She knew that my nightmare was a vision. Witches sometimes get visions while we sleep or if you're a seer. Then you get them all the time, regardless if you're sleeping or not. I sighed and took a deep breath.

"I saw Dmitri."

My mom gasped and Jacob looked confused.

"He said this wouldn't be the last time I would see him. That I was going to watch everyone I love…die."

My voice cracked at the end of my sentence and Jacob wrapped him arms around me again. I stiffened and my mother noticed this. Luca did too apparently because he moved closer to me and glared at Jacob. My mother turned to Jacob.

"Jacob, could you go down stairs and tell everyone to meet me in the living room in a few minutes? I will explain the situation to them then."

Jacob nodded and with one last concerned glance at me, was out the door. My mother set he gaze on me.

"What else happened? Why were you so tense when he put his arm around you?"

There was no way I was getting out of this so I spilled my guts to my mother.

"It started out as Jacob and I on the beach. We were so happy and care free. It looked like we were a couple and the way we looked at each other, it was like I was the only girl I the world. Then Dmitri came and he…he killed Jacob, right there. I didn't have time to stop it; I didn't even see it coming. I couldn't save him just like I couldn't save dad. I don't want to get close to him mom. I don't want to feel the pain of losing someone close to me again."

My mother wrapped me in her arms as I broke out in a fresh round of tears. I wrapped my arms around Luca, taking in comfort that my family was there to comfort me. She kissed the top of my head and cupped my face in her hands.

"Sweetie, this dream was a warning. It isn't set in stone, you can always change the future with the choices you make, but this also shows another thing. Dmitri knows about Jacob's and your relationship. Pushing Jacob away will only further endanger him."

She was right. I didn't want to see it that way but it is true. The farther away from me he is, the closer he is to danger. I nodded in agreement.

"Mom, there is something else."

"What is it sweetie?"

"I think Dmitri killed dad."

It was her turn to stiffen and Luca let out a low growl. Her eyes blazed with fury and it made me grateful that I was not on the receiving end of that fury.

"It makes sense now. With your father out of the way, he probably thought you would be easier to get to. Plus he was most likely getting revenge. Well mark my words; I would like to see that demon try to even lay a finger on you. I am Mikaia, daughter of the Earth, and no one will touch my daughter."

I smiled at my mother, feeling the power radiate off of her. Instead of being afraid of it, it empowered me and made me feel safe. I was protected by one of the most powerful beings on the Earth, with very strong mood swings and parental instincts.

It reminded me to have faith in my own powers as well. I had to believe in them; believe they would protect me. They were a part of me and they made me grow each and every day. I could feel that bad times were approaching but what is life without a little excitement? After all, the life of a witch is anything but boring.
