Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. But gosh darn I wish I did, then Jasper could help my emotionally state that seems to be in constant need of attention. Oh don't worry all, I'm not crazy. Yet. :P


Chapter 6


Edward's POV

It didn't take long for her breathing to become even and steady. I loved the night for this reason. To watch the one I love sleep in my arms. Most of the time she was peaceful, only tossing and turning every now and then. There were times when I made her too cold, or she would have the nightmare she used to get when I left her. But most of the time now she was peaceful. Bella stirred around 3AM. I could hear her heart speed up the slightest bit as she moaned and rolled to face me. Her eyes moved back and forth wildly under her lids, and I knew she was dreaming.

That got me thinking of the past 2 times I watched her sleep. She would start screaming and wake up in a fright. She said it was nothing, but I knew better. I also knew better than to press the subject. If she wanted to talk, she would tell me what was going on. It was definitely times like these when I wish I
could read her mind. She started to become more and more restless. Talking more and thrashing around.

"Bella? Bella love what's wrong?" I whispered, placing my hand against her cheek. She didn't wake, didn't even flinch at the cold of my touch, but continued to become more and more distressed.

She began to say my name over and over again, saying "help me!", and "why won't you help me?!". Another nightmare. She was in trouble, and I wasn't helping her.

"Aro!" That threw me off guard. Why was he in her dream? She then asked Aro for help…

"Bella. Can you hear me?" I had to bring her out of this. She was starting to sweat and was thrashing so violently, that if I didn't hold her in place, she would have landed on the floor long ago. With speed that could match mine if she wasn't human, Bella's eyes shot open.

"Love, are you ok??" I whispered to her, never once taking my hand from her face. She looked over at me and in one swift motion pushed my hand away and jumped from her bed, stumbling the whole way. She had a terrified look on her face.

"Don't touch me…" she whispered, and all I could do was stare at her in confusion.
