Chapter 10

Edward sat next to Bella on her bed and watched her sleep.

She had been tossing and turning all night.

'I wonder if she's having a nightmare.' He thought as he sighed. 'She's been like this since we defeated James a week ago.' He closed his eyes. 'Too bad that I can't protect her in her dreams.' He gasped and his eyes flew open. 'What if there was a way to enter her dreams. If I figure out how to do that then maybe I can protect her more.'

Bella woke suddenly and bolted up right.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Bella nodded as she turned to face him. "Just the same dream over and over again. It's getting really annoying because I have no idea what it means."

"I've got an idea." Edward said.

"What is it?" Bella asked.

"I can always enter your dreams and protect you there." Edward explained.

Bella nodded. "How will you enter my dreams though? Do you have any ideas on how you are able to do that?

Edward shrugged. "I was thinking that you could give me the power to do that."

"How?"

"By opening your mind towards me when you sleep." Edward explained.

"My mind is always open when I sleep." Bella replied.

Edward nodded. "Good then I'll enter your dreams tomorrow night."

"Ok."

The next night Bella laid down on the bed.

"Are you ready?" Bella asked Edward.

Edward nodded. "Go to sleep and I'll enter your dreams soon enough."

Bella nodded as she closed her eyes.

After five minutes Edward took a deep breath before entering her mind.

Edward opened his eyes to see that he was at school.

Only the school was burning and everyone was running and screaming away in terror.

'No one can see me here.' He thought. 'I'm only a visitor.'

Suddenly he heard someone laughing behind his back.

Edward turned to see James standing behind him.

Edward gasped and pulled out his sword to defend himself.

"James are you real or just a figment of Bella's imagination?" Edward asked.

James smiled. "Oh I'm real alright."

"So you're the one that's been giving Bella these nightmares."

James nodded. "Yes I'm attacking her from her nightmares now." He said as he laughed.

"Why?" Edward asked.

"Isn't it simple Edward? Revenge. I want revenge against Bella so I'm attacking her in her dreams now." He smiled. "Speaking of which where is your darling Bella?"

He gasped and looked around for her.

It was then that he heard an ear piercing scream coming from the blazing school gym.

"Bella!" Edward yelled as he ran for the gym.

Edward ran into the gym.

"Bella where are you?" Edward called out.

"Edward are you alright?" Bella said. "Don't worry were going to get away from this place."

Edward frowned in confusion. 'What? That can't be right.'

He found Bella next to what looked like his dream self.

He and Bella had burns all over their bodies.

She had Dream Edward in her arms.

"Edward please forgive me." Dream Edward said.

Bella stroked his head as she smiled. "There's nothing to forgive Edward. I was stupid to think that I could save everyone in time. I should have listened to you. If I listened to you then we wouldn't be in this mess."

Edward walked up beside him.

He chuckled. "Wonderful isn't it. They can't hear or see us."

"Come on we need to get away from this place before this place collapses." Bella said.

Dream Edward shook his head. "No you have to leave me here Bella."

Bella looked down at his legs and gasped when she noticed that they were stuck under large rocks.

"You have to leave me here." Edward said. "I won't be able to get free in time."

Bella shook her head and her eyes started to swell up. "No I can't leave you here. I love you and I'm not going to leave your side. I love you."

"I love you as well Bella." Edward said as he sighed and looked down towards the ground. "Then shall be the end for us."

Bella nodded. "Together until the very end." She said as she kissed him.

Then like that the dream ended and Edward found himself back in Bella's room.

Bella woke five seconds later.

She gasped as she rubbed her eyes. "What…. what happened?"

Edward sighed. "James is back yet again and is attacking you from your dreams. I saw the whole dream take place."

"How come I didn't see you?" Bella asked.

Edward shrugged. "I don't know. I don't think that I wanted to be seen or maybe you were too into the dream to see me. Or maybe it was James's doing."

"How do we stop James before this gets too far?" Bella asked.

"Don't worry." Edward said. "I'll figure out how to stop him."

Bella smiled and kissed him. "I love you."

Edward smiled and kissed her back. "As do I. We'll figure this out."
