Author's Note: Just a little inside look at Bella's dream ... Most of it is her imagination getting carried away, but there is a little bit of -I think - unobvious foreshadowing in here, if you can find it ...
Disclaimer: I own nothing. The Twilight series is the imaginative creativity of Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter Ten.
'Bella's Dream'
I watched helplessly as Tanya and the four other shadowy, faceless vampires snarled, growled, and crouched low over the werewolves. The werewolves had put up a good fight, in the beginning, but now Tanya's coven was ripping and tearing into them, and occasionally, a helpless wolf would let out a frighteningly ominous whimper.
Out of nowhere, a familiar, calming, wonderfully husky voice jeered at me. "You don't honestly think we're that weak, do you?" Jacob scoffed. I turned to him, about to beg and plead for him not to enter the fray, but he was already gone. The five vampires were converging over him, and he was in his wolf form, snapping at them in vain. I watched in horror as my Jacob was slowly ripped apart.
Tanya seemed to notice my gaze and beamed at me. I was shocked, until I realized it wasn't me she was smiling at. Out of the abyss behind me strode Edward, tall and magnificently handsome as ever, and he wandered over to the others, carefully avoiding the werewolf carcasses with a look of pure disgust on his face.
"Edward!" Gushed Tanya, launching herself at him with enthusiasm. I waited for him to turn away from her, to tell her he didn't want her, but he didn't. He let her settle into his arms and attack his face with kisses. It wasn't until he bent down to kiss her back that I started to scream. Why was she doing this? Why was he doing this? Why were they doing this? I was RIGHT HERE.
They continued to ignore me, and everything else – the rest of the coven, and the werewolves – seemed to dissolve into the abyss. Edward and Tanya just kept kissing right in front of me.
I heard my heart break audibly when Edward took Tanya's hand and whispered, "So you finally got rid of Jacob Black. Good job, Bella."
Author's Note: So yeah, this was a little strange. Poor Bella. But I have to plant the idea of what's going to happen. No, this dream is not going to happen (I like Jake a little, I wouldn't kill him ... can't stand Sam, but still... and Edward would never mistake Tanya for Bella in reality) but something like this might. You're confused now, aren't you? You'll see.
