Chapter Nine Dreams

AN: Read and Review

Bella POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked over and saw the tubes coiling away from me.

I looked out through the open door and saw Carlisle walk past.

"Carlisle!" I called. It was barely a whisper but he heard me and backtracked.

He walked into the room.

"Hello Bella. How are you feeling?"

"What happened?" I asked him, struggling to sit up some.

"You wrecked your motorcycle. It's a good thing you called Alice, or else, well we won't go there."

"Wait...wasn't Jake..." I tried to fit all the pieces together.

"Jacob...he didn't...see. Edward brought you in."

"Then...how come Alice didn't see I was going to wreck?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"You were on the La Push side. "

"Edward broke the treaty!" It fit together and I had to struggle to keep my voice low.

"He's here. I'll let him explain it..." Carlisle walked out and not ten seconds later Edward walked in.

"Edward!" He came right to me and hugged me gently.

"Are you okay?" His velvet voice melted and washed over me. It felt as if Jasper was in the room controlling everything.

"No, I'm not. You broke the treaty! Are you insane!"

"Bella, honey, he was going to let you die. Either I broke the treaty, or wouldn't be alive right now."

"I don't care about that! Everything Carlisle has built for you, is...is...gone!"

Instantly I regretted my words as his face hardened.

"You don't care if you die? Never say that Bella. If you were to die, I would cease to exist. You die I die. I don't care what war is now brewing, I don't care if the mutt tries to tear me limb from limb. Your safe. That's all that matters."

"Edward!"

"Bella! It doesn't matter what is going on between the vampires and the werewolves. You're safe."

I gave in, feeling weak from everything.

"Fine, you win. But please, please do try to solve things peacefully."

"That's not going to happen."

"Try for me, please." I looked up into his eyes, pleading.

"Okay. I'll try. You need to rest now, Bella."

"Promise me if I close my eyes to sleep you won't run off to kill Jake?"

"I'll stay right here."

"Promise?"

"I promise. And you know me, I don't break my promises."

I smiled contently as my eyes drifted close.

"I know," I whispered.

I drifted asleep.

It possibly the worst dream I've ever had.

I stood on the La Push boundary, staring at the pack. They all stood ready for a fight.

I looked back across towards town at the Cullens, teeth barred and all crouched low.

"You broke the treaty, parasite." Jacob growled from the center of the pack.

Edward spoke from the exact opposite of him.

"You were going to let her die, dog."

"You're going to kill her anyway."

"She wouldn't cease to exist."

"Okay! I am right here! Will someone please tell me what's going on!" I yelled.

"Can we please just slaughter these dogs and be over with? I want to have a little bit of fun!"

That was Emmett. Rosalie shot a look over at him. Then they nodded. One by one, the Cullens slipped past Edward and towards the pack.

And one by one the pack slipped past Jacob and moved towards the boundary line.

Jacob and Edward stayed behind, staring daggers at each other as a fight erupted between my family and friends on the treaty line.

Well, the former-treaty line.

Edward danced closer towards Jacob, feral growls ripping form his chest.

Jacob lunged into the air and landed a russet wolf.

I could feel the tension growing as Edward matched his move and landed on top of the giant wolf. Edward barred his teeth and bit into the wolf's neck.

I woke up and sat straight up.

The cords pulled, trying to tie me to the bed and an IV ripped from my arm.

I could hear the heart monitor beeping erratically and Edward's marble arms wrapped around my side.

"Bella? What's wrong, love?"

I shook my head to clear the image of Edward biting Jacob out of my head, to clear Jacob's piercing scream.

"When do I get to leave this stupid hospital?"

"I'm not sure. You pulled the IV out though. You're sure to have to stay a bit longer for that."

"Ugh, whatever." I laid back onto the bed and wiped the cold sweat off my forehead.

I hated nightmares.

AN: Yeah, weak ending. So sue me. I'll try to make chapters longer though next time, I know this ones short. Oh well. Reviews?
