Hello All

I won't say too much, except for the fact that there's an important AN down the bottom.

Yeah I know. For once, I have like… nothing to say.

Surprise.

:D

Enjoy!

P.S. Don't worry - the AN down the bottom makes up for the lousy one up here!

I gasped, sitting up in the bed.

I looked around shakily, part of me still surrounded by the dream, still consumed and focused on it.

"Bella?" Edward asked from across the room, in the direction of the window and then, his cold arms were around me, surrounding me… comforting me.

"Edward?" I asked.

"I'm here, baby," he said and it comforted me; I relaxed against him.

A few minutes later, I got out of his embrace and moved around the room using my fastest speed. I pulled on a jumper, looking around for a pair of shoes.

Edward flashed around the room with me, grabbing a pair of shoes for me. I smiled at him, kissing his cheek in thanks before I took the shoes silently from him. "Thanks baby," I said, sitting down on the bed as I pulled on the pair of ugg boots.

When they were on I got up and looked at Edward. "Ok, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go meet my mum back over in Phoenix and talk to her. I need her to see the dream and I know that the whole process kind of makes you panic, so here's my suggestion. You stay at the Cullen house and I'll come meet you after I'm done. Then, we can come back here and I can go back to sleep. Sound good?"

Edward smiled and kissed my cheek, "Sounds fine, baby."

He was just about to go when I trapped him with my shields, dragging him back over to me. I motioned with my hand to turn him around, hands on my hips, bitch brow cocked.

"Yes?" He asked and I laughed at how at ease he was.

"Where's my kiss?" I said, pouting and Edward growled, ducking down to kiss the shit out of me. I gasped when his tongue forced itself into my mouth, moaning as he pulled me tighter to him, humming.

A few minutes of this, and we were purring as we let go of each other.

"I love you," I panted, looking up at him with an open-mouthed smile on my face.

Edward chuckled, a little out of breath himself before he kissed my cheek, skimming his nose against the line of my jaw. "Love you too."

And then he turned around and leapt out of the window, racing off out into the night.

I sighed and looked around my room.

I quickly twitched my nose for some paper and a pen and I wrote Dad a quick note to tell him that I was at mum's because of a dream if he woke up to find that I wasn't here. It also said that I had my phone if he wanted to call me and that he could and I wouldn't mind.

Satisfied that Dad would be ok with that, I force fielded the note to my door, on the outside for him to see. Of course Dad wouldn't be able to touch the note, but he would be able to read it. That was enough.

I then stood in the middle of my room, with the bag that had everything I needed in it. I closed my eyes and teleported myself, in my usual way, to Phoenix – mum's house.

Opening my eyes, I found myself in the living room. I sighed as I looked around. Everything I was fine, perfectly in order – well, mostly – and I made my way up the stairs silently, mindful of the sensitive ears in the house.

I crept forward to mum and Phil's bedroom door. I eased it open without it so much as creaking and I smiled to myself, happy with that achievement.

I frowned, my lips turning down in a grimace as my sensitive ears took in the snoring… amongst the other sounds this room harboured.

"Mum," I whispered from across the room, not really wanting to have to get closer.

When she didn't move, didn't make any sound or anything to allude that she might have heard me, I sighed. Looking up at the ceiling, I slowly crept forward until I was right next to her.

I leaned down and whispered very quietly in her ear, "Mum."

She gasped, sitting up in the bed and I leaned back, biting my lip.

Mum panted a little as she looked around and I could see that look in her eye that told me that she was on alert. Keeping that in mind, I moved back a little before I whispered, "Mum, it's only me! Calm down! Listen, I need to talk to you. We need to process my dream and then it's time for us to have a little chat. Something happened today and I have a feeling that you know about it."

My tone was a little harsh toward the end, but fuck it, I was angry. Mum had been keeping something major – something life changing, not to mention life threatening - away from me and know that it was out in the open, I wanted to know if she was keeping anything else to herself.

"Baby," Renée said and I sighed, clenching my eyes closed. A sleepy, slow and tired mother was not what I needed right now! "Honey, why do you sound angry?"

"Because I fucking well am," I hissed and Mum frowned.

"Alright, baby," she said, patting my hand and I sighed aggressively, pissed off. I wanted this done with and I wanted to know what was going on. I needed to know. "Come on; we'd better take this down stairs into the kitchen. We don't want to wake Tommy up… or Phil for that matter."

I nodded and followed her out the door as she walked down the hall, then the stairs to the kitchen.

I sat down as Mum moved around the kitchen.

"Mum, are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked, frowning as I eyed her movements.

She smiled. "Phil showed me how to make coffee. He says I'm pretty good at it now; all I need to do is remember how to do it correctly so I don't break another machine."

I snorted to myself, but that was just how my mother was.

"Well then," Mum said, looking at me. "Tell me what this is about."

I squared my shoulders. "Mum, it may be best for me to show you."

She frowned and held out her hand. "Alright, then do so."

I looked at her hand, sighed and lifted my own up to grasp her hand.

We flinched as the dream replayed and began.

Yeah, I know. Sorry nothing really happened for a chapter that took such a long time getting out. I was focusing on other things.

Well, with everything that's been happening – the mass story deleting – I've been backing up. I'll be posting on her for as long as I can… or am allowed, or whatever.

:D

But seriously… there is a group that is out to get the fanfics we love dearly because of their content on this site. They are reporting and deleting fanfics that they deem inappropriate.

I just want to take this moment to tell you that I've backed up all these stories and am on the hunt to find a new site that may be my backup in case any of my stories are deleted for whatever reason.

Moving along:

Next chapter is coming shortly. I know I said that this one was the dream chapter, but I thought that it was best for that to be the one after this one. So, next chapter is the dream chapter. I've already started dream chapter, so that'll be along shortly. Promise.

Please, please, please review.

Thanks,
