Chapter Ten

It was like 8 in the morning the next day.

Carly was having another dream.

She was walking in the woods in the dark. The full moon was dark enough that she could see a little. Her hair was long in curly locks. She was bare foot wearing a long flowy silky night gown. She didn't know where she was or why she was there.

In the distance she saw a barn and five people fighting. She got close enough to see who it was. The four was Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, and Reid.

She tried screaming for them but nothing came out of her mouth. As she got a little bit closer, she saw the guys fighting with Ben. She saw Ben over powering the boys and gasped when she saw Ben throw Reid and Tyler into trees.

She ran to them, but both were unconscious. She was shaking Reid trying to make him get up.

"Reid… don't do this to me… I can't lose you too. I love you." She cried.

"Get out of here Carly!" Pogue yelled right before he got tossed into a tree.

She got up to turn around and run but stopped because Ben was right in front of her and said "I told you that I was coming after you… and your fiancé nor your friends can help you now."

"Why cant you leave me and my family alone." She pleaded with him.

Ben didn't like the fact that she called them her family.

"I cant leave you alone and I wont. You are mine Caroline." He said.

"Don't you ever call me that again." She said.

"We will be together again soon enough." Ben smiled at her.

"Yeah when people in hell get ice water!!" She yelled.

Ben got pissed, he grabbed her arm hard making it burn. He said "I will come for you and your friends will be dead… and you will be all mine." He winked at her and vanished.

Then Carly woke up screaming and swinging. It woke Reid up. He was seeing what was happening then he tried grabbing her arms, he held them down, and said "Bella… its me. Reid. Calm down. Baby, you are safe."

Once she realized it was Reid, she calmed down a little. She broke down in his arms shaking. He held her tight and said " Bella… I'm here. You are safe… Okay. You're safe Bella."

His soothing words were calming down more. After 20 minutes she was okay. He was brushing her hair with his fingers and said "Baby… what's wrong?"

"I had a horrible dream… I was in the woods barefoot wearing a long silky night gown. In the distance I saw five people fighting near a barn. I got closer and saw that it was you, Caleb, Tyler, and Pogue fighting with Ben. All of you guys were throwing these glowing balls at him and he threw some back. Then he threw you and Tyler into trees. Pogue yelled at me and told me to get out of there. When I tried to but when I turned around, Ben was in front of me telling me that he was going to kill you guys and come after me again. He grabbed my arm, it burned, then he disappeared and I woke up." She explained.

Reid looked immediately at her arm and sure enough there was a hand print on there.

"Oh my god…" Reid said as he grabbed and hugged her.

"I am so scared Reid…" She cried.

"Baby… I am here for you. Okay? I haven't left your side and I am not about to now. You are stuck with me." Reid said.

"You promise?" She said and sniffled.

"I promise… forever and ever babe." He said and kissed her on her forehead. "Since it is morning… lets round up the posse and go to breakfast."

"Okay." She said.

"You go get dressed I will call everyone." He said.

She gave him a kiss, grabbed some clothes, and went into her shower. While Reid was waiting for her, he texted everyone "Breakfast. Denny's. 1hr."

He got texts back saying "Okay."

Then he texted Caleb and said "Something is up. Bella had a dream. We have to talk later."

"Okay." Caleb replied back.

After she came got out of the shower she was dressed wearing: Her Victoria's Secret grey, pink, and white sweat Capri's, a white tank top, and the matching hoodie.

"I'll let you finish getting ready. Will you be okay by yourself for a few minutes?" Reid asked.

"Yeah… if not, I will call you" She said.

He gave her a kiss and said "I'll be back baby." Then Reid went up to his room.

Carly finished getting ready. She put on her pink low-top Chucks and put her wet hair up in a bun. She put a minimal amount of make up on and put on her Endless Love body splash. She played on her laptop waiting for Reid to get back.

10 minutes later he walked in her room and said "We'll meet Ty downstairs."

She nodded, grabbed her purse, then they left to Tyler's hummer. Reid was leaning up against it, with Carly in between his legs.

"Are you gonna be okay?" He said.

"I hope so… that dream felt so real. I mean you guys were using magic throwing things into Ben." She said.

Reid swallowed hard and said "Hmm… weird."

"Something strange is going on… I have a burn mark of a hand print on my arm." She said.

"We'll figure it out babe… don't worry." He assured her.

"Okay." She said.

"I got a question for you… Will you be MY Bella?" He said.

"Your Bella?" She said with a questioning smile.

"My girlfriend?" He said.

"Yes Reid… I will." She said.

He slid his hand down her face then gave her a hug. A few minutes later, Tyler came out to his car and said "Ready guys?"

"Yep… Let's go." Reid said.

Reid let Carly get in the front seat while Reid got in the back. Tyler drove off then said "So. how was your trip back? The airplane ride?"

She laughed and said "6 ½ hours of hell sitting in one spot."

"I'm sorry to hear about your mom." Tyler said.

"It's cool… but I am very shocked she even left me stuff in her will. I thought she didn't give a shit about me." She said.

"What did she leave you babe?" Reid asked.

She looked in her purse for the papers then said "My mother left me: Two penthouses one in Manhattan and one Rome, a log cabin in Colorado, All her jewelry and diamonds, and 500.000.00."

"Wow… you got an ass load of money from both parents. My girlfriend is loaded." Reid said with a grin.

"Girlfriend?" Tyler getting over protective of Carly.

Reid gave him a funny look thru the rear viewed mirror and said "Um… Yes Baby Boy… I asked her before you got to the car, before we left."

Tyler forced a smiled and said "I'm happy for you both… but if you hurt her Reid… I seriously swear… I will kick your ass."

"Um… Ty… I have no intentions of hurting My Bella…" Reid said.

Tyler kept his eyes on the road with a concerning/pissed off look on his face.

Carly was sitting there wondering why Tyler was acting so protective of her. Then Tyler pulled into Denny's. They got out, walked in, and found everyone sitting at the table. Even Chase was there. They sat down.

"Hey guys… Hi Carly." Kate said.

Carly smiled and said "Hey."

"Are you doing okay?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah… I'll be fine… Thanks." Carly said.

"If you ever need to talk to any of us…we're here for you." Sarah said.

"Thanks guys." Carly said with a smile.

"How bout Me and Sarah cheer you up and take you shopping after breakfast? What do you say?" Kate asked.

"Yes. I love going shopping." Carly said.

"Yah! It will be a girls day." Kate said all happy.

During breakfast, Carly got this really bad vibe off of Chase. Just the way he'd look at her, it reminded her of someone, but she couldn't figure out who. She didn't want to say nothing to Reid just yet. She was going to wait and see if she could figure it out.
