Sleeping
BPOV
I hunted a pair of mountain lions and a doe before I went to the stream nearby and looked at my reflection. My eyes were a shade of honey and light gold. My cheeks were flushed from the hunt, and my brown hair was parted to the side and windblown.
I ran back to the house and took a quick shower. I dressed in my favorite pair of flair jeans and a violet turtleneck. I checked my watch and saw that it was 2:00 A.M. I smiled and jumped out my window to the ground before taking off to his house. I was excited but I was also very nervous. I reached Edward's house and I climbed up the tree near his window. I waited outside in the tree to hear his steady breath and heart beat. He was sleeping.
I Jumped on the roof and opened his opened window. I slid it up gently but the metal was rusty and it made noise. I made a mental note to bring some oil tomorrow. I opened the window enough so I could slip through which is no problem considering that I am rather thin.
I went in the window and carefully listened to see if he was awake.
"Bella," he said clearly. I turned and froze. He's awake?
"Bella," he mumbled. He smiled and turned to face the other way. I relaxed immediately since he was sleeping. I smiled, he talks in his sleep? I walked towards the rocking chair in the corner and sat. I looked around the room and smiled at one of the paintings on the corkboard. I got up and walked towards it. I looked at the carefully drawn picture; it was of what I assumed Dracula. I chuckled and flipped the page over.
Edward October 31st, 1995. It read on the back. So he was eight when he drew this? I smiled at the pointy triangles he made as fangs popping out of the mouth and the coffin next to him. Hollywood sure does create myths. I folded the picture in two without creasing it and set it next to the rocking chair.
Downstairs I heard the Chief move around and get up, turn off the television and head up the stairs. I ran to the closet and hid inside. There was a little opening so I looked through. The Chief came in and looked at Edward making sure he was alright. He closed the door and left to his room. I came out when I heard the Chief's snores. I sat back in the rocking chair and studied Edward. Before, when I wanted to read his mind, my head started to ache, but I wanted to try again.
I opened my shield and immediately, I could see all his dreams and everything in his head. There were many blurbs of pictures and moments in time. I smiled since they were mostly about me. I can't lead him on though, he needed to avoid me. Was I going to be able to avoid him though? Probably not.
I decided I would tamper with his dreams a bit and set a single thought in his head.
"It's best not to be friends Edward, I'm dangerous." I took an unnecessary breath. He started to move around in his bed but he didn't wake. I felt a deep pain in the pit of my stomach. What did I do? How could I have harmed him like that?
"Bella, I don't care." He said in his sleep. I sighed, what does he mean 'he doesn't care?'
I looked back in his mind and smiled. He was dreaming of us in the middle of the forest lying down and talking. He then turned and kissed me.
"I love you," both Edward and his dream self said. I smiled and planted another thought in his head.
"I love you too." We both smiled and started to kiss again. I smiled and opened my eyes into reality. I was upset, I want to be with him, but I need to avoid him. What am I going to listen to? My heart or my head? I'm slowly falling in love with him.
I opened my mind and searched for the chiefs thoughts. He was anxious about Edward even in his dreams, so I decided I would plant I thought into his head before I left.
"Edwards alright, he's just sleeping." With that he seemed to calm down until he wasn't even dreaming anymore. I got off the rocking chair and picked up the Dracula picture as a souvenir. I walked up to Edward and planted a gentle icy kiss on his forehead.
"Goodnight Love," I whispered. I head towards the window and closed it behind me softly, just as the sun was starting to rise.
