Letters From the Sky- Civil Twilight (Ironic or what!!!) :L
One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape and I'll know One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all to go free One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon You're coming back for me You're coming back to me
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back, you're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here
The only walls to hold me here
And we will hear those planes overhead and we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be scared, we won't have to be scared
You're coming back for me
"What?" I questioned, my tone bearing on the edge of insanity. Alice had a vision? My head turned round to see Edward, but he wasn't there. Pain attacked by heart but I pushed it aside. Now was not the time for my unstable emotions.
"I had a vision." Alice repeated, grabbing mine and Jaspers hand.
"Oh Bella!" My head whipped round at the sound of my name. Rose sprinted across the clearing to us in her killer heels, followed by Emmet, hot on her trail. Her mascara had run from crying and her eyes were blood shoot red. She latched onto me, pulling me into a vice grip.
"Thank god." She sobbed. "I was so scared and then Alice had her vision…" she stopped, her eyes going glassy.
"Okay, you're scaring me. What vision?!" I asked again, a little louder. Alice adjusted herself so she was standing.
"Why don't I tell you when we get home." She offered, tugging at my arm. My eyes narrowed. Why was she dodging the question? I pulled her down fierily.
"No now!" I all but yelled, my voice echoing in the space around us. Alice glanced at our friends. They stood up, hugged us both, and then walked across the clearing, into the darkness.
"Okay." Alice breathed deeply, tears trickling down her face.
"I had this vision about three hours after you ran away." She gently grabbed hold of my hand, pushing lightly into the hollow of my palm.
Her small silhouette rested against a moss covered tree, her tiny, pale hand grasping air. Her dark brown hair was spilled across her face, being pushed of her eyes occasionally by the wind. Her face looked serine, at peace. Suddenly her eyes snapped open, but instead of her usual deep, chocolate, brown eyes, they were blood red. Her breathing deepened, as she stood up gracefully, so fast that if you blinked, you would of missed it. She lowered her head towards the ground, sniffing intensely, as though she was searching for something. Her head whipped forward, finding the sent she recognised. She walked forward angrily, only to be pulled backwards by an unseen force. A look of utter frustration and confusion crossed her face before her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Her head went limp, sloughing on her shoulders and her legs went from underneath her, only to be picked up in mid air. Her body floated in the air, as though someone was carrying her. And with that, her unconscious drifted through the trees, into the twilight night.
My eyes snapped open, simultaneously with Alice's. I felt my mouth hanging wide open, but I couldn't find the controls to close it. My body would function properly. I found myself short of breath, needing more air. Everything started to spin and if I wasn't already sat down, I would have collapsed.
"Bella!" Alice cried. "Okay breathe deeply." She changed her breathed so it was deep and steady, gesturing for me to do the same. Following, I finally increased my breathing and my head stopped spinning.
"Thanks." I whispered, still out of breath.
"What happened?" she asked, staring at me uneasily.
"Panic attack. But im fine now." She nodded, solemnly.
"Umm… What happened?" A look of utter confusion crossed her face.
"You don't know?" she whimpered slightly. I shook my head, unable to find words. Suddenly, I remembered something.
"But I know who does!" I mumbled to myself. I closed my eyes, squeezing them until it hurt and focused really hard.
Unruly bronze hair, piercing, apple green eyes, masculine chiselled features, full, red, kissable lips…
I opened my eyes, to see Alice and Edward staring at me. I walked forward, until I was face to face with Edward. His emerald eyes widened with shock.
"What the hell happened?" I asked, prodding his chest hard for emphasise.
"What are you on about?" He demanded, answering to quickly. I starred into his beautiful, green eyes and they were filled with honesty. I didn't trust them.
"Oh you know what I mean. Me falling asleep, waking up with red eyes, sniffing around like some sort of animal and then collapsing, drifting away in the air only to then wake up and not remember anything. That's what im on about!" He sighed, giving in. Alice just stared at me, her face full of confusion. I smiled faintly. Edward groaned loudly.
"I didn't want to be the one to tell you this." He muttered, almost to himself. "You have a ghost attached to you" I couldn't help the snort that escaped my mouth.
"I always have a ghost following me. Tell me something new." Edward rolled his eyes before the serious look was back on his face.
"No, this ghost is evil. I could feel its presence before it even possessed you."
"I was possessed? Wow!" I breathed, slightly annoyed. "Great! Another thing to add to my list of freaky stuff!" I laughed sarcastically.
"Bella, I'm deadly serious. If I wasn't there who knows what could have happened."
"Thank you" I barely whispered. "I'm glad you were there." I confessed. He snorted loudly.
"Like I have anywhere else to go." He laughed. I flinched away from him. Did he only like me because I could see him? His eyes widened as realisation crossed his face.
"No… I didn't mean it like that." He stuttered. "I like you, a lot." He smiled gently, pushing a stray hair out of my eyes. He bent down, his hot breathe in my ear. "You intrigue me" He held his arms out, an invitation to hug him. I willingly accepted, half running into his cold arms. I sighed, perfectly content. God I could spend eternity in these arms, these perfectly sculpted arms. Alice coughed loudly, interrupting our 'moment'.
"Bella, we have to go. It's getting late." She apologised, reaching out for my hand. I stared at Edward, torn between them.
"Oh for god sake. Lover ghost can come to." She laughed, causing me to blush fifty shades.
"Alice!" I hissed, causing Edward to chuckle. I glanced at Edward, praying he said yes. He looked torn, like he couldn't decide if it would be okay for him to go.
"Please. We can talk." I smiled gently, nudging him playfully in the ribs.
"Okay." He whispered, a large smile replacing his frown.
I turned towards Alice, but she was just stood there, her green eyes glassy and her body stiff.
"Alice." I squeaked, waving my hand repeatedly in front of her face, with my free hand. She stayed still for a few moments before she returned back to normal.
"Wear a coat tomorrow. It's going to rain. Hard!" she said seriously, nodding to agreement with herself.
"How can you possible know that?" I exclaimed, grabbing her hand and tugging them in a random direction.
"I have my ways." She winked, pulling me in the opposite direct.
"Note to self: remember to ask Alice about her visions." I whispered, so quietly, it was barely audible.
"The car is this way." She laughed, pointing into the darkness.
"I knew that!"
"Sure." She responded, giggling slightly. I pouted, but was smiled widely as Edward became rubbing his thumb across my hand, squeezing it gently.
"Smile a bit wider Bella, I could use and extra flash light." Alice laughed loudly at her own joke.
"Okay then. Make fun now! But you will see be sorry when I have my entire ghost gang attack you in your sleep and gouge your eyes out with a plastic spoon!" I sang, as I prodded her in the stomach. Edward laughed at our playful banter, and I couldn't help laugh along.
One some level I knew what was happening with Edward was wrong. I was falling for a ghost. You can't call that cliché. But right now I was happy, truly happy, and I wasn't giving that up for anything. Not even my life.
I promise the next chapter will be massive and have lots of Edward in it :) All i ask is for you to Review :)
Pretty Please with a BIG cherry on top ? :L
