Chapter 4 – Scream
Suddenly, the falling feeling stopped. But I didn't land on anything, I was just laying down like I had been there the whole time. I felt a cold, hard hand on my shoulder, gently shaking me.
I opened my eyes and gratefully saw Edward lying next to me. I beamed at him, and he smiled back, happy to see me awake it seemed.
"Bella, are you alright?" he asked me. It was then that I remembered that he had disappeared, and so had his house, and that I was supposed to be hysterical. He apparently saw the panicked look on my face, so kept talking in his smooth voice.
"Were you dreaming? You were saying my name, and turning over a lot," he said gently. Oh, so that was it. I was just having a stupid nightmare…
"Yes, I was dreaming," I replied. "I think I had a nightmare."
Edward mimed being sad. "Poor Bella. Do you want to talk about it?"
"No, I think I'm alright now," I stated. Of course I was alright now; he was here. "But while I was sleeping, I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life."
