I do not own the Cullen's or any character in Twilight they are the possession of Stephenie Meyer.

Have fun reading and tell me what you think.

Anna's POV:

It was Saturday afternoon and I was lying on my bed, starring at the ceiling and my thoughts circled around the whole dream thing. No matter how I attempted to explain what was happing it didn't made sense at all.

I knew that something about this dream was weird, my gut told me that something was off, really off but who could I talk to about this.

If I told my parents I would find myself faced with a shrink, before I even had the chance to tell them the whole story. There was none that could help me here and what would, I even tell someone who would listen.

The truth, out of my perspective.

That I dreamed about Edward Cullen when he still was Edward Masen.

That I was making journeys into the past, into Chicago in 1917 to be exact.

And that I had the feeling that this was more then just a dream.

Yeah, I already could see the men with the white straightjackets coming at me. I was on my own in this unless I took my chances to end up in a paddled cell.

I slowly sat up in my bad and dragged myself off my bed. I sighed heavily and made my way to the bathroom. I switched the lights on and went to stand in front of the big bathroom mirror.

I looked at myself for a while and then I talked to my own reflection, since I couldn't talk to any body else about it.

"O.K. girl what's the deal? Do you really believe that you are making journeys into the past. Into the past of a different world and you are meeting Edward Masen there soon-to-become-Edward Cullen, a Vampire nothing less. Vampires, Werewolves, time travels, portals to other worlds." I looked at myself in the mirror as I said that and felt utterly insane.

I turned around and leaned against the sink whispering.

"God, I'm losing my mind." I was rubbing my temples with my fingers and trying to make sense out of all of this, wishing I haven't had this dream in the first place.

Angry, I stomped out of the bathroom and into my room sitting down in my chair grabbing my chemistry book and learning for the next test. Nothing could distract me as well as learning.

As it was time to go to sleep I glared at my bed, the cool and soft fabrics off my pillow, the comfy mattress and my warm blanket. I didn't want to go to sleep. I stayed awake till three in the morning that's when I lost my fight against my natural need to sleep. I was too tired to even change out off my clothes. I fell on my bed and into deep slumber immediately.

I could feel myself stirring and waking up. I sighed and opened my eyes only to find my room before me. I was lying on my bed in my clothes and no park in sight.

I looked at my clock it was past eleven. My first reaction to this was that I felt happy and I was joyfully jumping in my bed. The dream didn't return this night and a part of me was glad about it.

I got off my bed and went to greet my family. I was in a really good mood. My life was back to normal and didn't have to struggle to find out what was up with this dream anymore.

After a few hours the wave of euphoria did down a little and I was feeling a sparkle of sadness but I ignored it.

For the rest of the weekend I was doing my normal everyday stuff and tried my best not to think about what happened. It worked out pretty good for me.

On Sunday night, the dream didn't return either and this time I didn't find myself jumping in my bed out of joy.

The rational part of my brain tried to convince me that this was for the best and I tried to make myself feel happy about the fact that my life was normal again.

But in fact I was in denial.

On one hand this was what I wanted a normal life without a strange dream that I couldn't explain.

On the other hand there were those feelings of regret, sadness and a longing after something. Why can't humans just decided what they want and stick with it? What it that hard? As it looked like it was.

I got what I wanted but wasn't sure if I made the right choice anymore. Nothing made really sense and I didn't want to think about it.

It felt like I somehow belonged in that dream as crazy as it sounds and my gut told me that this wasn't over yet.

Alright I wanted the dream back I liked it for whatever reason. Why I had this dream or whatever it was, because I had this nagging feeling it wasn't just a dream at all, I had no idea.

Making myself crazy wouldn't help the situation at all. I decided then and there that I would just roll with it, for lack of better term, and see where all of this was going.

Monday night arrived and with it the strange dream.

XoxoxoxoX

The familiar feeling of not having gotten enough sleep rushed through me and I knew instantly where I would be when I opened my eyes.

As I opened them I wasn't disappointed. I found myself in the park in Chicago again dressed in a 20s dress.

It was a beautiful sunny day. I was sitting on the grassland near the sea.

"Here goes nothing!" I thought to myself as I started to slowly stroll in the direction of the big clock in the middle of the park.

I stopped in front of the big clock and looked at it. It was just a few minutes before four o'clock and I heard a beautiful sensual voice calling my name.

"Good afternoon Anna." Edward said as he was approaching me very fast. I couldn't help the small smile that creped on my face as I saw him and the sparkle of happiness that I felt.

"Hallo Edward." I replayed feeling glad to see him again.

We didn't know each other for too long but for me he already became a good friend. A friend I didn't want to lose even though he was either a fragment of my imagination or something entirely else.

"How was your weekend, Anna?"

"It was long." Was the chastened version of the truth.

"Yes, for me as well." He said while his cheeks turned a little red but he composed himself very fast and said.

"Well, I thought today we……." But he couldn't say what he wanted to say because we heard someone calling his name.

"Edward. Oh Edward what a surprise to see you here." Said a blond girl with blue eyes that was approaching us, not registering I was there, only looking at Edward.

She came to stand before him and smiled seductively at him, she still didn't register me.

"Edward it is so nice to see you again. I was planning to take a stroll through the park. I'm so glad I will not have to do it alone since my friend couldn't come today. A gentleman wouldn't let a lady on her own right Edward?" She purred at him a little threatening at the end while she was stepping closer to him.

She was positively throwing herself at him. The vibes I got from this girl were telling me that she was someone who should be avoided.

Edward took a step back as she moved forward and I think I saw Edward cringe as she smiled at him but I couldn't be sure.

"Certainly Hillary," He said and she grinned triumphantly. "this is why Anna," He placed his hand on the small of my back pulling me closer to him. "and I have to go now or we will miss the performance." And he flashed a crocked smile at me. I looked at the girl whose name was Hillary and if looks could kill I would be dead and buried right on the spot.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Hillary." Edward said in a tone that made clear that he wasn't happy at all about meeting her.

We walked away while Hillary was seething with fury. She had he fists balled tightly and her face turned red, she was shaking and I wondered for a brief moment if she would explode into a Werewolf. It sure looked like it.

"I'm sorry about that just now." Edward started to apologize what pulled me out of my thoughts and the image of Hillary exploding into a ball of fur.

"Don't be silly. It wasn't your fault and besides I'm actually surprised that it took so long until we ran into one of your admires." I told him.

"What?" He shuttered bewildered.

"Oh, Edward you got to know your effect on the female population. There were three girls in the music shop we went last time where you played the beautiful piece for me. They were looking with longing eyes at you and glaring at me. You didn't notice how they were looking at you?" I asked him looking curious at him.

"No, I didn't pay attention to anyone else there except……" He started but didn't finish.

"Except?" I questioned slightly puzzled.

"Except the piano." He blurted out breathlessly.

"Are you alright?" I asked him he seemed to be nervous.

"Yes, I am. So I have an effect of the female population?" He asked curious and changing the focus the topic successfully.

"Obviously." I answered.

"On you as well?" He asked turning slightly pink.

I looked intensely at him and thought about it. Did he have an effect on me? The answer was yes he certainly did but what kind of effect?

"Yes, you are very handsome Edward. That is what draws people in at first and I think for most of the girls who are chasing after you, your good looks are enough."

"Most of the girls and what about you?" He stopped walking, faced me and asked in a serious tone.

The answer that immediately popped up in my mind was not one I could give him he had no idea about Twilight. And beside the more time I spend with him, the better I got to know him the more I liked him for the person he was then for the whole Vampire thing.

Would I have talked to him if we met under other circumstances? If I didn't know about Twilight?

The answer was yes. There was just something about him that drew me in.

"Well to be honest it doesn't hurt to look at your handsome shell, but what makes me enjoy our meeting are the conversations we have. To hear you talk about music to be able to talk with you about everything and nothing. I don't know how to put it I just feel….you are an awesome friend."

Edward looked at me intensely and serious after I ended my speech. The last part did unsettle him a little. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable under his intense stare.

"Edward, are you all right?" I asked him concerned. He snapped out of it and smiled at me.

"Yes, everything is all right. I just never met a girl like you before." He smiled happily his emerald eyes boring into mine brown ones.

"A girl that just speaks her mind and is not afraid to be honest." He added.

A girl out of the future that dreams a dream that is weird and feels very real, yeah that's me. Was the first thought that shot through my mind. I may speak my mind but I can only be honest to a certain degree, well until I know more about this all.

"Actually what performance were you talking about?" I asked him remembering what he said to this Hillary and wanting to change the topic.

"Yes, I have tickets to a performance of Romeo and Juliet. If you like we could go. It is nothing big it's just a little theatre but the actors are good."

"Sounds interesting." I said and we made our way to the theatre in town.

It was a little theatre but it was really nice and cosy. I enjoyed the performance. I only saw Romeo and Juliet as a movie with Leonardo Dicaprio after that I didn't even try to read the book.

When the performance was finished so was our time together for the day or my dream. We strolled back to the park talking about the play and the skills of the actors.

"Guess it is time to say goodbye again?" Edward asked as we arrived.

"Guess so."

"Will I see you again tomorrow?" Edward asked as he tugged a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

The contact of his skin against mine, I liked it maybe a little more then I should but I ignored it for now. I looked into his piercing green eyes, smiled politely at him and said.

"You will. Till tomorrow."

He took my hand and squeezed it lightly before replaying in a husky voice.

"Till tomorrow."

He let go of my hand and tugged his hands in his pockets, giving me a crocked smile. I smiled back and turned around to go around the corner.

I turned around and looked back at him seeing him standing there with his back to me. I stopped walking asking myself if I was doing the right thing.

The blackness was creeping up my body and as I lifted my hand I saw it fade away before everything disappeared.

XoxoxoxoX

I woke up in my bed in my world the usual routine. I had to make a decision I could continue to live in denial and tell myself that all of it is just a dream, lie to myself and Edward for that matter that.

Or I could face the fact. My gut told me that there was more to this whole thing then just a dream.

And if I wanted to be honest to myself I need to be honest and open with the whole thing and tell Edward what was happening.

Putting the whole Bella matter aside he seemed to have a little crush on me what was cute. If he really was who I thought him to be the future was going to be one hell to live through.

This might mess up the Twilight plot but I had to tell Edward the truth. With my mind made up I thought the whole day how to access the topic.

XoxoxoxoX

"I know a really nice cafe. It is in downtown and a very good Jazz group will play there it's a little festival. Do you want to go?" Edward asked me as we were strolling through Chicago.

I was back and today would be the day I told him who or what I am and what fate has I store for him. I only didn't really know how to approach this topic.

Yeah, I was being a coward but who could blame with what I was about to do?

"A festival. Sure I would love that." I replayed half being excited half playing it, for obvious reasons.

We were going through little streets with beautiful houses, painted in white, red and yellow colours. It was unbelievable. The architecture of this time never ceased to amaze me.

For all the disadvantage the past had, no TV or Internet or mobile phones and all the other little things I was so used to, the past did had some good points as well. One of them was the beautiful architecture.

I loved it to stroll through the downtown of Chicago with Edward and to simply enjoy the moment. Edward was leading me in the direction of the café he spoke about.

We went through a small alley. I was beginning to wonder where he was leading me when the alley ended and we stood in a circle similar square. The houses all around hid the square it looked beautiful. There were lots of cafes and restaurants.

Colourful flowers were hanging down from the balconies and windows of the houses making the place look even more beautiful and magical.

The buildings around the square left only one big opening that gave an amazing view at the river where you could ride boats.

A huge fountain was in the middle of the square.

We sat down on a table in the open air area of one of the cafes and ordered tea. As our tea was served the Jazz band started playing, Jazz wasn't my favourite kind of music but it was winning on me.

After the band played a few songs Edward suddenly said.

"I have a surprise for you." He took my hand as he said that and squeezed it. He let go of my hand and went to the band. The man who sat at the piano stood up and Edward took his place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you don't mind me taking over for one piece. A very special person inspired this piece and I would like to play it for her." Edward said before nodding his head to the other band members and they began to play.

The piece was wonderful a little up tempo and cheerful. I loved it. Edward's music in general was beautiful. I enjoyed hearing him play and watching him sit there enjoying himself.

After Edward played the last note he received a lot of applause. Edward bowed shyly and made his way quickly to his seat.

"Edward that was amazing." I smiled at him fascinated as he took his seat.

"So you liked it then?" He said as he smiled satisfied. I nodded at him returning his smile.

"Do you know the band or did they just let you play?" I asked him curious.

"I know tow of the band members from school. They graduated tow years ago. When they were still in school we would associate. They are obsessed with music it is fun to talk to them about it. I asked them if I could play some time ago and they said yes." Edward explained looking at the band that was getting ready to play again.

"You had it all figured out then?" I asked suspicious.

"Yes." Edward said cheeky.

We continued to listen to the band until they played their last piece.

"That was a wonderful idea Edward. Thank you for showing me this place and for letting me hear your new composition." I said as we were getting ready to go back to the park.

I still didn't know how to tell him and I was tempted to put it off to another day. Yep I was totally being a coward.

"I'm happy that you liked it." Edward answered with a twinkle in his eyes what brought me back to reality. He offered his hand to help me to stand up and I took it.

We were walking back to the park when we suddenly heard someone call after Edward.

"Edward it's so nice to see you again." Said a girl who came out of the house that we just passed.

She was small, had blue, grey eyes and black hair. She looked pretty and friendly. She had a warm and polite aura around her and a pretty obvious, huge crush on Edward.

When she looked at him she blushed and looked quickly away. It was cute.

"Madeline." Edward greeted back short and harsh. The annoyance was creeping in his face. I could tell that he was trying to force himself to be polite. It made me wonder why he reacted to all the girls who were chasing after him in that harsh way.

"What a coincidence, I had just finished with my piano lessons." She smiled at him stepping closer carefully and shyly.

"That's nice to hear Madeline. Music is a beautiful way to pass time. I'm sure you enjoy it." Edward said politely trying to be a gentleman.

"Yes, it's a great joy and I was wondering if we could get together to play some time?" She asked, blushing harder. I could see how much it must have cost her to say this.

Edward only rolled his eyes at that. He smiled softly but shortly at her while he took my hand in his and squeezed it.

Madeline caught his action and I could see the disappointment overcoming her face. She tried to hide it but wasn't successful.

"Madeline may I introduce to you this is Anna." Edward turned to me with a warm smile on his lips and said.

"Anna this is Madeline the daughter of a friend of my mother."

I saw how much that sentence hurt her but she was holding her ground. I gave Madeline a friendly smile. She returned it in the same manner.

"It was nice to meet you again Edward. I'm sorry for the interruption. Have a nice day." She said blushing even harder, quickly turned away and went off.

Edward sighed heavily and I asked him a bit upset about how he treated the girl just now.

"Edward, why were you so mean to her?" He looked at me surprised and defended himself.

"I wasn't mean but if I am just a little too polite and friendly, those girls are throwing themselves at me. You wouldn't believe just how annoying they can get, bothering me at any given chance."

Edward shook his head in disgust.

"What do you mean with those girls?"

"What I mean with those girls is they only see the status, the money and my looks when they look at me. It's really disgusting. I'm pretty good at reading people Anna. I can tell what they are after." He said in a dark voice full of disgust.

There it was, one of the weaknesses of the Edward Cullen out of the Twilight books, making a judgement before even knowing all facts. And being convinced that just because he is good at reading people, (or their thoughts) he knows it all.

My dream Edward seemed to have the same problem.

I had to get that out of his system.

"You may be right with your accusation where Hillary is concerned. The girl from last time but Madeline seemed to be a really sweet and nice girl with a huge crush on you."

Edward gave me a look and I continued.

"Just because you are good at reading people doesn't mean that you are capable of understanding them entirely. You are just making assumptions and are putting them in categories but Edward there is so much more to a person then meets the eye."

"But I am usually right." He said and I cut in immediately.

"What is wrong with this sentence?" He gave me a puzzled look.

"Usually. You are usually right. And that's how you judge people because you are usually pretty good at reading people you think that is enough to be able to know how they really are?"

"Yes." He said it firmly. I just shook my head. I couldn't believe what I heard him say.

"Edward being able to guess someone's thoughts or even being able to read them, is not enough to judge a person. It's important to understand the motives behind the thoughts seeing under the surface instead to just rely on what you see on the surface. Some people are shy and don't know how to express themselves and it comes out wrong. There are so many things to consider. You tend to make your judgement to fast and to jump into conclusions."

"I'm not jumping into conclusions." Edward quickly said.

"Edward Anthony," I turned to look him in the eye and said. "You do. You do jump into conclusions quickly. Not even bothering to see the whole picture. Your ability to read other people is really great but you are making it your weakness. You are so depending on that ability of yours even to the point of ignoring the obvious because it doesn't fit with what you think. Think about it and then look at me and tell me that I'm wrong."

He opened and closed his mouth like a fish but didn't say anything.

"For example this Hillary girl, well my first impression of her is not the best but I only met her once and may be I met on a bad day who knows."

"No, she is always like this but I see where you are going." Edward said thoughtfully.

He was lost in his thoughts as we made our way to the park. After a while I couldn't take it anymore, my curiosity got the best of me and asked him.

"You said that you are good in reading people."

"Yes." He answered curious where I was going with this.

"Can you read me too?"

Edward sighed frustrated what surprised me and said.

"No, I can't I don't know why. Usually I at least get an idea of a person pretty quick but you are a complete riddle. I'm trying to figure you out but every time I think I got it you surprise me. It frustrates me but also fascinate me."

"Oh." Was all I said and I was wondering if he would be able to read my mind if I would have met him in his Vampire self, in this weird dream of mine.

"What are you smiling about?" Edward asked I didn't even notice that I was smiling to myself.

"Nothing." I smiled at him. He frowned.

"Thoughts are free and private." I smiled at him, he sighed.

We arrived at the park and said our goodbyes I started to walk to my corner. I don't really know what came over me but I couldn't go on like this. I don't know where this courage came from but I knew I had to do it now. I wasn't a liar or a cheater.

I only made one step before turning around looking at him, while he was surprised by mine action.

"You like me, don't you?"

He was taken off guard by my question and turned bright red, suddenly looking very interested at the pavement. That was answer enough.

"See the problem is that I think I'm starting to like you too."

At that he looked up at me, again surprised.

"That why I have to be honest with you. What you know about me it is all a lie. After I show you what I really am you can decided if you want to see me again or not."

"What you really are?" He asked confused.

"After having seen it, come to the park if you want to know the whole truth if not don't come and we will never see each other again."

"But…?" He started but I came up to him and pressed my fingers on his lips silencing him. Edward was completely confused.

"You have to know what you are dealing with. I'm not a drama queen and I don't have secrets from people I like. Just in case you don't want to see me again."

I said before I stood up on my tiptoes and pressed my lips on his. My hands locked around his neck and my fingers found their way into his soft, messy hair.

Edward was frozen in shock for a moment but quickly recovered and responded to my kiss. He twined his arms around my waist and pressed me carefully closer to his body.

Even though it was a chaste kiss it was amazing. As we broke our kiss we were both breathing heavily and gasping for air.

"Wow" was all Edward said I couldn't agree more.

Great a few hours ago I called him my friend and now I just kissed him. After all I was sending the whole denial crap to hell.

I didn't know if I loved him yet but I sure as hell liked kissing him. I really hoped that he would want to see me again but if I really wanted to be friends with him or whatever more there could be, I had to be honest. Even if it meant that I risked losing him.

"Come on." I said as I dragged him with me to the corner.

"What are we doing here?" He asked not understanding anything.

"I'm being honest with you Edward. I'm sorry for all the lies I told you till now."

He looked intensely at me trying his hardest to understand.

"But I hope seeing this, you will be able to understand my predicament and be able to forgive me. That is if you don't run away screaming." I joked a little.

"I don't……." He started but didn't finish I started to disappear, to fade away and Edward looked horrified at the scene before him.

The last thing I saw was that he stepped a few steps away from me his mouth hanging open in disbelieve.

PUSH THE BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!
