I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT, THE DARK-HUNTER SERIES OR THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES..JUST MY OWN IMAGINATION...

I felt like I had been lying on the couch for days but only a couple of hours had passed. I kept replaying the past day in my head. I still wasn't sure what was happening but I knew it had to do with me but I didn't know who the other players were. i just wish I knew who I was up against. I remembered feeling connected to the voice and my body responded to the feelings as well. It was just my brain that couldn't remember.

I let myself relax and just lay there with no thoughts. Mentally relaxing. I was starting to feel that hazy pull again. I wanted to fight it but I knew I needed to find out what was going on. I re2mained so still I'm sure I looked dead..Well dead as in dead.I no longer heard the sound of Vance, he hasn't left me here alone. I wanted to call out to him but I was afraid to break this spell I was under. I felt I was drifting away on a sea of mist. I could feel my hair on my face and actually taste salt on my tongue. I started to get agitated so I forced my mind to slow down and just be still. There was darkness all around me, I was so cold. Then abruptly I felt warmth and I opened my eyes...

The warm air felt so nice after the swim in the ocean. I love the ocean, the feel of weightlessness and my hair floating around me. The water was so relaxing. I started to walk up the hill wishing I could braid my hair but he likes when I leave it loose around my head. I don't like when he gets mad at me, sometimes he scares me. But he has never hurt me. Never once! I should feel proud that we are to be married in three moon cycles. I am drawn to him but at the same time I feel something is off. But I know my place. I am to marry the next chief. I walk slowly back to my tent, its time to start on the food for the celebration of the men's safe return. I see all the woman and young girls already at the fire pit. I heard the sound of soft laughter but it wasn't friendly. I should know for awhile now I seen the girls whispering and laughing at me when I pass. I don't understand why. I came to this village six full moons ago to be the bride of the chief's son. He chose me at the last gathering of tribes. I was so excited but scared to leave my only home. I was to live with his tribe and stay with an elder woman till our bonding ceremony took place. Then I would live with him in his father's tent. In the chief's tent. He has never once made me feel as though I don't belong but there is something I can't place my finger on. I only have one friend, she is older and wiser than me. Lonia befriended me the first day and helped me to learn their ways. Sometimes she looks at she like she is trying to understand something about me. She says things to me that sometimes feels like it it double sided and I'm missing something. But then she smiles at me and tells me I am like her sister. As I get closer to the fire I see her look at the group of girls and they stop laughing and whispering. I lift my head higher, they need to realize I am to be the next chieftain's wife. I was passing by the seers' tent when she stepped out and stood staring at me as I passed. She pointed at me and spoke loud.

"Spirit bride." she turned and went into her tent. I stumbled in shock. What did that mean??

Lonia meet me and help steady me. "Don't mind her, she is too old to really be a seer anymore." Even though she was telling me this I had a feeling in my stomach the old woman knew something. Something important.

I felt someone shaking me. "Glykia mou, wake up. You need to come back to us."

I felt drugged and disconnected. My eyes slowly opened and I found myself staring into Ash's eyes. He looked very upset and I noticed the Cullens were here as well. I wasn't sure what was going on.

"Wow, what's everyone doing here? Are you going out with us tonight?" I asked. They were all just staring at me. "What?"

"Bella.. what was going on with you just now?" Ash asked me.

I still couldn't understand what the concern was but I told them how I was relaxing and had a daydream.

"Bella, do you know what time it is?" Vance asked me.

"We got back before dawn,I remember that." I was still unsure what they were getting at.

"Bella, it's 5:30." Ash told me.

"Okay, so what s do big deal?" I was looking at each of them. The Cullens hadn't moved from there spot.

Vance sat down beside me and looked at me. "It's 5:30 pm. You've been out of it for almost twelve hours! You were doing it again! At first you were solid but then you started to shimmer like you were about to fade away. Ash got here and we waited and tried to get you to wake up but you wouldn't. If I didn't know I would of thought you were dead. But you were mumbling in a different language. I called Alice and they rushed over. We've been waiting for you to came back to us."

"What did I say??" I demanded.

"Well, it was a language we didn't understand." Vance said.

Ash spoke up "I understood it. It was a language spoken by native Americans in the 1700s."

We all stared at him. The 1700s!

He continued " Spirit bride...you said Spirit bride."

That shook me. I wasn't sure why. It's not like it was about me. Why was this happening to me? What was happening to me?

I was starting to feel angry. Beyond angry. I was seeing red. I didn't like this lose of self I was feeling. I wanted everything to be as it was. I finally had Edward back and my true family. How dare some unseen being try to take it from me. I was going to get to the bottom of this and take back control of my life.

I stood up and started pacing. Everyone was still staring at me.

"Ok we are going out tonight to get some answers but first I need to hunt and then get ready. Whatever is going on IS going to stop!"

I turned to Ash. "Can you find anything out for me?" I asked him.

"I will see what I can out but it appears this is focused on you and you have all the answers in you already. You just need to find them." And he flashed out.

Alice came over to hug me and told me they were there to help. I didn't want to involve them but knew I was going to need help. This "thing" seemed to be able to take over me at will.

Emmett was laughing at me. As usual. "Bella, your still finding trouble, even as a DH vamp!"

I growled softly and as I walked by him I dropped low and swung out my leg. I caught him and sent him sprawling on the floor. Everyone laughed as he was grumbling. Now I felt better as I walked away smiling.

I went to get ready for my hunt. Everyone except Vance was going out with me tonite. I don't think they wanted to leave me alone.

As we left the apartment I swore I heard

I'm waiting Isabella. Remember me...
