Chapter 7
Nightmares and Good Days
Bpov
The light of the sun reflected off the water and blinded me. I stepped away from the edge of the pond to go sit on the little bench that was placed in the center of the garden. I had to walk across the pond on a bridge to get there. Flowers were intermixed within the different veggies. When I sat down me favorite book appeared, "Withering Heights". I picked it up and began to read. I got so caught up in the book I didn't realize what time it was, I looked up to see that the skylight was dark pink, sunset.
I put the book down and it disappeared, that was weird. I got up and began to walk back across the bridge when I noticed it. A dark shadow was standing in the corner. I couldn't tell if it was looking at me or not, but I was pretty sure that what ever human figure it was, it was looking straight at me. I wonder how long it has been there. Every page I turned it was watching me.
I froze when it started to move towards me. What made it even more creepy was that the sun had completely gone down, and the pond lights were the only light source I had. It kept moving closer and I began to look for ways to escape. 1. Dive in the water and hopefully swim to some place safe. 2. go back to the island, then jump in the water and swim to safety. I chose option one.
The water was cold and dark, except for the lights. I could see multicolored coy fish. Some of them were huge! When I saw a shadow standing on the bridge, I decided to swim. I swam in the opposite direction of the coy fish. it didn't get me that far because they were everywhere, but that didn't stop me this time. I kept swimming. When I finally got to shore, I climbed out and looked back. The shadow was no longer on the bridge. Where was it?! I searched the darkness. Still no shadow. I turned around and there it was. I was on the verge of screaming when it grabbed me.
I woke up screaming the next morning. I heard the door open and people flooded in.
" Bella, are you alright? Bella!" Edward's voice was frantic.
"Bella!" Alice, Rose and Charlie yelled.
"What's wrong?" That was Emmett and Jasper.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry for waking all of you. It was just a nightmare." I calmly explained. All of their faces instantly calmed down.
" Changing the subject, I'm STARVING! and since we're all up..." Emmett hinted.
"Let's eat!" I exclaimed, wanting to put my nightmare behind me. Everyone burst out laughing. I climbed out of bed and headed toward the kitchen. We were all still in our p.j.'s Emmett was just wearing some boxers that had Snoopy on them, Jasper had on boxers that were dark blue, Edward had on a pair of dark red, gold and black basketball shorts, Rose had on a red silk night gown, Alice was wearing a fluffy pink night gown thing, Charlie had on a red robe as did Carlisle and Esme had on a blue one on. I was wearing a red tank top and some camo pajama pants.
" Nice shorts, Em. " Jasper sarcastically remarked.
" Dude, don't diss the shorts. They're da Bomb!" Emmett said. I couldn't help but laugh and neither could anyone else. Charlie made us all eggs and pancakes for breakfast. After we ate, we wondered into the living room to watch cartoons. Ironically Snoopy was on.
"Ya, that's my home dog!" Em yelled when he padded in and saw what we were watching.
"Hmm, Woodstock has always been my favorite." I commented.
"Mine too!" Alice exclaimed.
" So to completely change the subject..." Rose started, we all turned to look at her. " What's on the agenda for today?"
" Um..." We all were completely at a loss.
" I kinda want to fix up my room, make it feel a little more homie. I haven't really had time." I said.
" So we're just gonna laze around?" Jasper asked. We all nodded in agreement.
"Maybe later tonight or something we could watch a movie. Like make it a movie night?" Alice suggested.
"That sounds awesome!" Rose said. We all agreed and headed our separate ways. I grabbed one of those step ladder things and went to my room. I spread out some of the artwork I wanted to hang up and started planning on where to put them. I finally had the perfect places for everything. I set the step ladder thing under where I wanted to hang the first poster. I grabbed the necessary supplies for hanging it up. I started to place it on the wall, but I wasn't high enough. I stretched on my tippy toes trying to go higher, I still couldn't reach so I attempted to step forward but I stumbled and let out a squeal. I waited for the impact of the floor, but someone caught me. I turned to find Edward.
"Oh, Edward! Thank you sooo much!" I hugged him.
"You're welcome. Uh... Do you need some help?" He asked.
" Yeah, if you don't mind. I can't reach to put this poster up." I motioned to the poster that had fallen on the floor. He grabbed it up and stepped up on the ladder. He held the poster up and I instructed him on how high I wanted it. "Thanks, hey can I ask a question"
"Sure. But um... do you need help with any of the others?"
" Uh.. probably. How did you get in here so fast? Not that I'm not grateful, I'm just curious." I rambled.
"Haha, I was in the hall going to get a drink and I heard a commotion in here and rushed in. " He was chuckling. " Who is this art by?" He abruptly asked.
"Um... Me actually. They aren't my best work." I sheepishly said.
" They are amazing. " He smiled, and picked up another. "Where does this one go?" I showed him.
" Are you sure you don't have anything better to do?" I asked.
"Nope, why do you want me to leave?" He turned to look at me.
"No! I just don't want to take you away from something more important." I explained. We finished putting up my posters and decorating my room. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Is there anything else that needs done?" Edward and I were sitting on my bed.
"I don't think so." I glanced at the clock. " Oh! My! Gosh! It's already 5:00pm."
"Hmm, how 'bout we go get some food in our stomachs and get ready for movie night." He suggested.
"Alright." We made our ways to the kitchen and Edward insisted on cooking, but I made him let me clean up.
"Edward that was delicious." I commented after we had finished eating the masterpiece that Edward had made.
"Thanks, I wasn't sure you would like it." He sheepishly smiled.
"Well, I loved it. You're going to have to make that often." I smiled over my shoulder, I was doing dishes after much protest of the kitchen staff. I turned back to my work, but stopped short when I felt arms snake around my waist.
"Bella, please let me help." Edward's velvet voice whispered in my ear. Before I could answer Alice's slivery voice squealed.
"You two are so perfect for eachother!"
" Alice -" She cut me off.
"Anyways Movie Time!" She skipped off before either of us could speak.
