CHAPTER 5

Bella

I'm running through the dark forest. There is that feeling coursing through me that someone is following me. I'm running faster than a human but not as fast as a vampire. I don't know how I'm doing it without tripping but I don't care. I just know I have to run fast or whoever is following me will soon catch me. Suddenly I break through a clearing which is completely lit by moonlight. Distracted due to the sudden brightness I falter in my step and am about to fall. I close my eyes brace my hands to stop my face from connecting with the ground. I don't feel the fall nor do I feel my hands connect with the ground. I open my eyes to see what stopped my fall only to discover myself elevated above the ground in some sort of blue bubble. I'm confused and astound at the same time. In my confused state of mind I try to relax my breathing and try to right myself. Once I calm down I feel the bubble retract into myself. I now think that I had somehow projected the bubble to protect myself and remember doing it before.

I'm my moment of astonishment I had forgotten that I was being pursued. A whooshing sound distracted me. I look up to find the source of the voice and see myself surrounded by four cloaked figures. I feel goosebumps on my entire body. A shiver of fear runs through my body. The blue bubble comes out again completely surrounding me and it looks to be like a see through bubble. I could see my surroundings clearly despite being in it. Slowly I see pale hands lowering the hood of their cloaks. There are three males and a female in the group. I remember these people. I have met them before. They all have pale white skin which looks to be paler in the moonlight. They definitely are vampires as their features are ungodly.

"You won't be able to escape this time. You were lucky the last time but this time Master will collect his gift himself." Said the tallest of the group.

I see an army of more cloaked figures led by three in the front. They come to a stop near the four uncloaked vampires. The middle one of the three leading figure comes forward and lowers his hood. He seems to look familiar like I have seen him somewhere but couldn't recall where. He stops very close to the bubble as if to inspect it. With the snap of his finger I see the girl appear at his side which startled me. With one more snap of his fingers I see the girl looking directly into my eyes with a sadistic smile and trying to concentrate on something. I have this feeling of déjà vu and know that she won't be successful in whatever she was trying to concentrate on. At the same time I feel something probing around the bubble making me feel uncomfortable. The girl looked to be pissed as if whatever she was trying to do didn't work on me. Again the man snaps a finger and the male who looks to be like the twin of the girl appears at his side. I see what the boy is about to do and see some kind of mist coming from his palms. I had that feeling again that it won't affect me. I see the mist caressing the bubble trying to penetrate it and failing just like I knew. One more snap from the man and the mist retreats in the palms of the boy.

"Magnifico!" he exclaimed. "Despite having a deflector with us the human is still able to render your gift useless. She will be an exceptional addition to our coven. We must have her with us brothers. She will be a great asset to us. With her on her side, we will be invincible." He said to the other two of the group.

"Master we have one of her friends with us." Interrupted someone from the group. I try to see who it is only to find one my closest friend struggling in the hold of a male vampire. She was not making any noise just struggling. It seems as if her senses were cut off. I hear two snaps of the fingers and suddenly she is shrieking loudly and is withering on the ground as if in immense pain. Her shrieks startled me due to which I lost the concentration I was holding on the bubble around me. But it was enough for the vampire in front of me to get his hold on my neck and I let out a shriek of my own.

I woke up dripping in sweat and uncontrolled breathing. I reach towards my neck to see if the hands are still there on my neck to discover it empty. I find myself on a bed and frantically search around for the light switch. I look around myself to find out where I was. I see myself surrounded in the same blue bubble from the dream. I try to control my breathing. I know I need to relax myself for the shield to retract into me. I get my breathing to somewhat normal and feel the shield retract. I took in my surroundings and see myself in my new temporary room. Now that I have calmed myself completely, I detangle myself from the sheets and get out of the bed. I move towards the small kitchen area available in the log cabin to get a glass of water. I sit down on the only available bar stool near the kitchen island.

Sitting there sipping on the water, I think back to the dream. Was it some kind of warning/premonition? Were the vampires I had encountered on my run coming back for me with an army? Who was that girl in the vampire's hold? My dream-self somehow knew her as a closest friend. She seems to be another person that I might hurt because I was stupid enough to fall in love with a vampire. Oh god how many more people are going to get hurt because of me? Was Victoria not enough that now I'm might have an army after me. Who was that man who held my neck at the end? Was he the master who those four vampires had mentioned to me when I had encountered them? He seemed familiar somehow. Where had I seen him before? Was he going to capture me because of my shield? There are so many questions running through me right now. I need to calm myself or the shield would come out again. It seems that it is somehow attached to my emotions. Very strong emotions tend to trigger the shield.

"Argh!" With frustration I get up and start to pace in the living room. When will my life be normal again? It seems supernatural finds me wherever I go. I try to wrack my brain to remember where I had seen that man/vampire before. Suddenly it comes to me like a light bulb going on. I remembered Edward once telling me about the Vampire Royalty when we were in Carlisle library going through the family's history. Him telling me about the three Kings who were like the law enforcers of the vampire world. I now remember the vampire from my dream was one of the King. He was named Aro I guess. Ya I now remember it. Great I now have vampire royalty after me. Already Victoria was after me now there might be more vampires after me if my dream were any indication for it.

It has been six months since my parent's death and me being on run because of that deranged Victoria. I never stay at one place for so long. This the longest I have stayed in one place that too for three weeks. Thinking about my parents still causes me pain but I have come to bare it somehow. I have come to known that time doesn't heal all the wounds but gives you the strength to bare the pain caused by those wounds. I thought I just had to worry about Victoria finding me and torturing me. But if I was to go with the dream and my previous encounter with those vampires, then I definitely had more to worry about. I will soon have to move on from this place before any of them find me.

I know this chapter will leave you with more questions than answers. I had to rewrite this chapter many times as couldn't settle one of the many scenarios running through my head. Finally I have settled on this one and hope you will still be with me on this story. Next chapter Bella will clear more of the things for you all. It will be posted by tomorrow at the latest. Reviews inspire me write a new chapter sooner. Read and review.
