Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. If I did new moon would have been full moon with each and every page filled with Edward.

Dreams are an escape from the real life, a passage to another world completely different. A world full of colors and beauty. I had not had a dream for nearly a century as sleep was just a distant memory from their human life for a vampire. But now I was having the most beautiful dreams through my Bella.

I pretended that I was asleep and shared the same dream with my love and that I was not an outsider trying to get into her subconscious. To any outsider it may look like a sleeping teenager sharing a bed with his first love who had just had a close encounter with death.

For them it was the innocence and purity of first love that makes you do all sorts of things just to get a glimpse of the person who has captured your heart.

Most of the nurses had similar thoughts when they saw me lying with Bella. Many of them were brought back to their youth and their first loves. They thought about the magic of that first kiss that kept them awake for many long nights.

Many of them saw their younger self in us. Maybe that was the reason they never asked me to get out of Bella's bed or maybe it was because of my dad's position in the hospital. No matter what the reason was I was happy that I was able to lie on the hospital bed with my love in my arms.

It was our second day in the hospital but Bella was still sleeping. She woke a few times but only for few minutes. Whenever she woke she just said one thing my name.

The bubble was still around us so I was able to understand that she was ok. Her thoughts were strong but her body was exhausted which made her sleep continuously. She may be powerful with the bubble around her but her body was still human.

My family took turns to sit with Charlie but left us alone only coming in for a few minutes just to check on us. They knew that I was in no mood to talk. Though their thoughts were anxious they never let it show on their faces. They knew Bella only for a short time but she was family to them.

Another thing I was thankful about was that they never mentioned or thought about the wolves. I was sure that if they had I would have to not been able to control myself. I would have gone back to the tribe's land and completed what I started.

It was past noon when Jasper rushed into the room.

"Edward something happened."

I sat up carefully laying Bella on the pillow.

"It's Harry. He had a heart attack. He was rushed to the ER but did not make it."

I didn't know what to say. I was shocked.

"There is more Edward. He didn't know about the poison. After we left we talked to the tribe. They were pretty shaken up by your attack. They did not know about the poison. The two wolves did it by themselves. They were young and reckless and did not think about the consequences. Nobody knew anything until you showed up. Even Harry and Sue were confused about what happened in Bella house."

"How is it possible Jasper? Their minds are connected."

"Yeah but only when they are in their wolf forms. The two idiots did not phase after forming the plan and the others didn't know. When you went to their land they had no other option but to phase. That is when everyone knew."

"What happened with Harry?"

"The two wolves were like children to him. Their betrayal hit him hard not to mention his regret of poisoning his best friend's daughter even though it was unknowingly."

"I don't know what to say Jasper.

"Wait there is more. The wolves who poisoned the cake are in the hospital getting surgery for bones that you broke. Carlisle said that he had never seen a patient with half number of broken bones like them. The best part is that they are putting steel rods for some of the bones so they won't be able to phase again in their entire life."

"What about the others?" I asked.

"They have some broken bones but not as extensive as the other two. They told that you were more focused on the two which saved them. We are sure that the two of them would have died if they were human. They were lucky that you didn't break their spinal cord."

"So you guys talked to them?"

"You know Carlisle. He wanted to know the complete truth before resorting to violence. The tribe was pretty shaken up. They knew their own were responsible for the mess. They apologized and even asked Carlisle to treat the wolves as their injuries were extensive and a normal doctor would not be such a good idea. They also promised to take action against the two wolves once they are healthy enough."

I took a deep breath. I was getting angry about the fact that Carlisle had helped the people who poisoned my love. Jasper sensing my anger sent a wave of calmness towards me. I was starting to protest when he cut me off.

"Edward I know that you are angry and so am I. But when I thought about it I understood that they already got their punishment. The two wolves will never be able to phase again and to add to that they feel responsible for Harry's death. Isn't it the worse punishment than death? Carlisle is not even sure they would be able to walk again."

Jasper left me to think about what he said. I had to admit that it was definitely worse than death. I was sure that their regret was more painful than their physical pain. I knew that better than anyone else.

I had lived better part of my vampire life with it. I had killed people. I know I killed only horrible ones but still I took their life which I had no right to. I could still feel the way their thoughts silenced as I drew their life essence from them.

I remembered stalking my prey hiding in the shadows. I made sure that they were all criminals before killing them. No innocent had died due to my bloodlust. I felt like a dark avenger. Saving the innocent by killing the evil ones.

I still remembered Carlisle's face when I decided to leave him. His face and thought showed sadness. I was a son to him and he felt that he failed to be good father and that that was the reason for my decision.

I never wanted to hurt him but I had made up my mind to go in a different direction. Besides he had Esme.

Esme, she also thought me us her son. She had lost her child when she was human. She saw her lost son in me. Her affection reminded me of my own mother.

I thought that as long as I was serving justice, it would not matter that I was feeding on humans.

I soon realized that it was not the case. I realized that I had turned into a monster.

I was glad that Carlisle took me back into the family after what I had done. Soon our family expanded. I had family with brothers and sisters who loved me. Life was good except for the guilt that I felt for killing humans- the guilt that I harbor to this day.

My lack of a mate made me lonely even with the family around as they were all mated. The loneliness made me think of my past life more often making me feel more guilty than what I already was. So I concentrated on other things like music and literature. I even got two medical degrees not to mention the number of high school and college diplomas I which got along with my siblings.

"Edward…"

I was brought back from my thoughts by my love's voice. I quickly turned to look at her found her looking at me with those big brown eyes.

"Bella you are awake! Do you feel ok? I should probably call Carlisle." I babbled.

"Edward I am going to talk through my thoughts as I feel pretty weak." She told me through her thoughts.

"I am so glad that you are awake love. Are you sure that you feel ok?" I asked

"I am fine Edward. I just feel sleepy. I am sorry about Harry." She said in a small voice.

"So you heard huh? Don't worry about it love. It was not your fault."

"I know Edward but I still feel somewhat responsible for his death." Her thought reflected sadness.

"Don't blame yourself Bella. They were the ones who poisoned you. They are responsible for what happened and not you. Now I should call Carlisle to check you."

Soon Carlisle came and checked Bella and declared her fit but suggested that she remain in the hospital as she was weak and also to monitor some other things just to be sure.

Bella of course protested but later agreed when he along with Charlie insisted. I on the other hand was concerned about her because of the bubble that surrounded us. I knew that it surrounded us only when there was danger and the fact that it was still around us made me anxious. But to my great relief I noticed that the bubble was slowly fading as Bella became stronger.

As I was again lying on Bella's bed with her sound asleep on my chest I heard a new unfamiliar thought. I opened my eyes to see a woman standing by the door.

Her thoughts were jumpy and her eyes were filled with tears. She had medium length brown hair, innocent, childish blue eyes and a round face full of laugh lines.

I suddenly realized that it was Bella's mother. I carefully got up from the bed and greeted her.

"Hello you must be Bella's mom. I am Edward Cullen, Bella's boyfriend." I said shaking her hands.

"Nice to meet you Edward. How is she?" she asked walking inside the room. She stood near Bella's bed and took her hand in hers. Her overflowing eyes showed concern for her only daughter.

"She is fine Mrs. Dwyer. Just little sleepy."

"Please call me Renée Edward."

"Mom?" Bella asked waking up.

"Good afternoon sleepy head." Renée said kissing her forehead lovingly.

"Mom what are you doing here?" Bella asked. Her face showed confusion.

I excused myself to give them time to talk. Bella protested stubbornly gripping my hand as if I would vanish if I left. I kissed her forehead and promised that I wound be back soon.

I looked at Renée to find her watching us quietly.

"Can I get you something from the cafeteria Renée?" I asked.

"A cup of coffee would be nice Edward."

"Sure. I will be back soon." I told her walked out of the room.
