Events in the Head
I woke up alert as I came out of my dream. I saw them again, Alice and Jasper. There was more this time there were wolves too. I threw the covers off of me and padded around my room in frustration.
Where were these dreams coming from? They aren't mine; I wasn't even in them.
In this one all of the Cullen, including the two new comers were there. Beside them were wolves, they were as big as horses on steroids. They fought in a field covered in snow. Together they ripped other vampires apart, except these had red eyes.
Before all the fighting actually started, I saw Edward with three people. One was a female I had seen before. She always seemed to be right beside Edward. He had called her by Bella on a few occasions.
She was human from what I had observed. With pale skin, not unnaturally so, brown hair and plain features. It seemed as if the whole fight was revolved around her. Everyone was protecting her from a woman named Victoria and a man named Riley. I only heard of them I have yet to see them.
The other males were wolves from the pack that fought alongside the Cullens. They were both extremely tall and built.
The smaller one was boyish in manner and face, but still had the build of a grown man.
Something struck familiar about the other older wolf. As a matter of fact he reminded me of Ephraim Black.
So much so that he had some of the same features. Something else drew my focus on him though. It could have been his dark brown eyes or his contagious smirk. Even with him possibly only just being a figment of my imagination, the air around him seemed to bring whole hearted joy.
The dream had been fine at first, great if you counted the stud of a man, but it soon turned horrible. With all the gore…ripping of heads and limbs…mangled bodies flying everywhere…it soon was a nightmare I never wanted to see again.
That's why I was now standing outside of Carlisle's office door which was a nice cherry wood.
It had a lot of details too, then again that could be only because I've been staring at it for the past ten minutes. I wanted to tell someone about the dreams I've been having about them. My first choice had been Edward, but I wanted someone who could possibly give me information on what was going on. Except what if I'm wrong? Or worse what if I'm right?
"Aubrey, you can come in you know." I hold back a sigh. I wish they didn't always know where I was in the house.
"I know. I just thought I'd give your door googoo eyes I mean it is a pretty handsome door." Even when I wasn't in the same room with him I could tell when Carlisle didn't know what to say. It happened a lot with me, especially when I made weird comments such as that.
Slowly I turned the door knob and walked in though after another brief moment of hesitating. Either he was going to think it was my mind playing tricks on me again or he was going to think I was crazy for sure this time. Not that I haven't given him proof plenty of times before.
Carlisle was sitting back in his chair with papers laid out on top of the desk top. What papers could he possibly have to look over? "What's bothering you, Aubrey?"
"I've been having dreams." I took a seat in front of him. He made a motion with his hand as if to say go on.
"Well it's different than my memories of my life. It's more along the lines of other people's lives playing out. More specifically you guys."
He leaned forward in his chair looking at me curiously. "What did these dreams involve exactly?"
"Well most of the dreams involve fighting and war, except for a few which show turning points in people's lives. Like when I had a dream about you." He was listening intently following all my words.
"I saw you get bit by a vampire that was living in a sewer. You hid in a potato cellar while you transformed. I've also seen similar things with Esme, Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie. When it is solely revolving around one person it's mainly just shows them turning into vampires. Except for sometimes I'll see two other people. Their names are Jasper and Alice. I couldn't ever really remember their names until last night when I had another dream with them in it."
Carlisle's face had flashed surprise before he nodded his head. "Can you describe to me your other dreams involving everyone?" I assumed he meant all the Cullens seeing as he didn't know about the wolves or random people.
Nodding my head I briefly describe all the dreams about each member of the family and how they had been turned. I explained Esme's tragic plunge, Edward's experience with the Spanish influenza, Rosalie's horrible fiancé, and Emmett's encounter with the bear.
His face betrayed no emotion as he sat there absorbing what I had just told him. It seemed like an eternity of waiting for his response. I was nervous about how this would make him think of me.
"That's very peculiar. I should tell you that it's true that I was bitten and changed by a vampire that lived in the sewer, and I did stow away in a cellar in order to keep safe. As are the others dreams. How you are getting dreams of other people's lives is very odd. All I can do is assume this is a gift similar to Edwards. " Carlisle was always an understanding person but he was also very scientific about things so when he said that it shocked me. So it shocked me even more when he confirmed my dream of him being true.
"You believe me?" I look up at him with a gaping mouth.
Don't get me wrong. I am glad he didn't just brush this off as a symptom from my head injury. With as quickly as he was to dismiss me saying I was from 2012, I had half expect him to brush this off too.
"I believe you. I will admit this is hard to take in fully, but all the evidence is there. There was no way you could have possibly known things you were not here for." I let out a sigh of relief as I relaxed.
All of this had been making me paranoid. Paranoid that I was going crazy and that everyone would know I was going crazy. I would have been freaked out by the fact that it was just confirmed that I've been seeing real events, but the relief of me not being declared crazy was blocking that from my mind.
A thought popped into my head as realization dawned on me. I could see peoples past, possibly the future too.
"Carlisle?" He turned his eyes backed to me seeing as they had drifted to the window to his left. "What about the other dreams? They have people I've never seen before and I don't think it's the past everything is…modern." It's true, the Cullen family had sported clothes of the 21st century, and so did anyone else that appeared in the dreams that had the wolves or Bella in it.
He stood up at this, walked to stand in front me and leaned back on his desk with his arms crossed. "Well I may be wrong but it could be the near future. That can't really be set in stone but it's possible." I didn't bother telling him that it couldn't be in the close future seeing as they had clothing that resembled the 21st century.
