Edward POV

"Bella wake up……"

I shook my love as gently as I could, trying to get her to respond with
little success, this was madness. Everything had been just fine moments
ago, she had been sleeping soundly in my arms. Then she had started thrashing
around and crying. Then, just as quickly, her whole body went still. She
was breathing heavily though and her heart beat was racing. Really I should be
used to this sort of thing; she often had nightmares, but this felt far more
sinister then your average boogeyman.

"Come back to me please…." I tried again. I had already lost her
once; I would not allow it to happen for a second time. But how did one fight the
enemy within? It's not like there was a manual for this sort of thing.

Suddenly a bright green light enveloped us both. Instinctively I recognized
it as a protective force field. Even in her euphonious, Bella was trying to
protect me. I felt the love I had for her double, she was my heart and soul.

I really needed to wake her up. She was still breathing, but it seemed I
heard my door break, and I glanced up in time to see Emmett burst in the room,
ready to kick some ass and take some names. Fortunately, he had enough sense to notice
the field, and stopped within inches of falling into it.

"What in the hell is going on?" he asked.

"Bella, she was having a nightmare, I tired to wake her, but this happened
instead."

I looked past him to Alice and the rest of my family, trying to read their
thoughts, to see if anyone was thinking anything useful. I was met with
complete and utter silence. Sweet mother of pearl, everything was being
blocked by the field. The one time I wanted my power, and it was a million
miles away. Great, so I'd have tohis the old fashioned way.

"Anyone have any ideas on how to wake up sleeping beauty and get this
field down?" Without thinking, Emmett touched the field, and was sent flying
backwards into my CD collection. He lay in the rubble that was once my
collection and groaned.

"Ugh, I guess touching that field is a bad thing."

I sighed in relief that he had not been seriously hurt. He may be a big
knuckle head sometimes, but he was the best brother a guy could have.
Rosalie, who had rushed to his side, let out a loud growl.

"Edward, wake that girl up now. I'm trying to be nicer to her now, but
I will not allow her to hurt everyone we care about."

"She didn't mean for that to happen," I growled back, ready to defend
Bella if necessary.

"Enough both of you. It was an accident; I'm fine the only thing hurt
is my pride." Emmett stood up, and brushed himself off. My CD's cracked
some more under his feet and I couldn't help but wince.

"Oopps, sorry Edward."

"It's okay. At least it wasn't the Volvo." Emmett cracked his
normal grin.

A knock on the front door interrupted our conversation.

"Oh what now?"

Esme left the room to go answer it. I heard the door open and Esme gasp in
surprise. I heard her trying to keep the person on the porch.

"EDWARD, WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU TO MY DAUGHTER'S BODY?"

I gulped, how could we have forgotten that a missing body in the morgue
would be noticed? This situation had just gone from bad to worse. Bella
once again began to thrash around in my arms, muttering in her nightmares. I
leaned down and kissed her on the lips quickly. I hoped Charlie wouldn't
get past Esme, or else there would be a lot more explaining to be done. I
looked down at Bella, her breathing had become more even and her heart rate had
slowed down. Then slowly her beautiful brown eyes popped open. I kissed
her again. Relief washed throughtout my body. At least we could sort out this whole mess together now.

"What's going on?" Before I could respond or convey any sort of
happiness, Charlie bellowed from below, reminding me that he was waiting.

"EDWARD I KNOW YOU'RE UP THERE!!"
