Chapter 20
I cuddled up to him and sighed before I fell into another deep sleep.
I woke up in Edward's arms. Something I had been doing since I was a little girl. But this time it was different. I loved him. That's what was different. I stretched my muscles and looked up at him with a smile. That's when I saw his face. Well not his but the thing that attacked me. It had a knife in its head and was lying there dead. I was lying on it.
I woke up again, for real this time, with a gasp, again, and sat straight up. Thinking that the thing was still there I moved away from the spot in a hurry and looked at it in fright.
"Bella?" Edward asked.
I let out a breath of relief and relaxed my muscles. But I didn't move any closer to him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
I shook my head and steadied my breath. He came closer until he wrapped me in his arms.
"Tell me," he said.
I shook my head again, "It was just a stupid nightmare. Again," I whispered.
"The same one?" he asked.
I shook my head and leaned into his chest, "No. It was a different one this time."
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked sincerely.
I smiled up at him, lightly, and shook my head, "Its no big deal," I looked around the room before sighing, "What are we gonna do today?" I asked.
"Whatever you want," he said.
I smiled as I remembered throwing the snowball at his face. I hugged him tight before jumping off the bed.
I walked to my suitcase and went through my clothes. There was a bunch of pajamas I had never seen before. I looked at it confused, "What the…?"
"What?" Edward asked from behind me.
I picked up the lingerie with my fingers, "You think Alice has something to do with this?"
He looked away quickly a bit tense. I chuckled, "Embarrassed are you?"
He ran his fingers through his hair and went back to the bed. I looked back at the little piece of red silk, "I'm surprised I'm not," I said in a whisper.
I put it back in the suitcase and started taking real clothes out.
I put them over my arm and went into the restroom. I brushed my teeth and changed before stepping out. I was wearing my favorite light blue jeans and a long sleeve top.
Edward wasn't in the room so I walked silently downstairs. I could hear him talking to someone on the phone. He was upset. I stopped halfway down. I could hear a whispering behind me. I slowly turned around but found nothing but the staircase.
It sounded like a guy whispering. I slowly made my way back upstairs and turned to the left instead of the right which is where my room was at. I made my way slowly to the room that I thought I heard the whispers coming from and opened the door.
It looked like an office yet a library. I took one step in the room and thought I saw someone pass me from behind. I turned around quickly with a small gasp but there was no one there. I closed my eyes tight and massaged my temples.
Great now I'm seeing things. I left the room and closed the door behind me when I felt something drizzle slowly from my nose. I turned around to start walking downstairs and lightly touched the liquid. I pulled my finger back to see what it was and found a red spot on my finger.
"Shit," I whispered.
"Bella? Are you okay?" Edward asked from the bottom of the staircase.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I yelled back before I went across the entrance of the staircase and into my room again. I walked into the bathroom and grabbed some paper. I looked back in the mirror to see the blood slowly drizzle down; slowly making its way to my lip.
I wiped the blood away and tilted my head back.
"Bella?" Edward asked from the doorway. I straightened my head and turned to look at him.
"What are you doing?" he asked confused.
"Nose bleed," I said. I looked back in the mirror to see that the blood wasn't coming out anymore.
I threw the paper in the toilet and flushed it before I washed my bloody fingers. "What happened?" Edward asked.
"I was checking out the office across the hall when it happened. I'm probably just dehydrated," I patted his chest and walked past him and back downstairs.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. I drank some water before I started making myself breakfast.
Edward sat at the table watching me, which I had already gotten used to, while I ate. "So was that Alice on the phone?" I asked.
"Yes. I had a chat with my little sister and yelled at her for what she did," he said in a cold voice.
I shook my head in disbelief, "Edward, it wasn't a big deal. You shouldn't have scolded her for that."
"It was inappropriate," he explained.
I chuckled lightly, "Yeah so are some of my fantasies but I don't scold myself because of them."
He couldn't contain the smile that played along his lip. I bit my lip before I put the dish in the sink.
"What exactly are your fantasies?" he asked amused.
I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks when I suddenly heard the whispers again. I turned around and looked around, "Do you hear that?" I asked.
"Hear what?" he asked confused.
"I don't know it sounds like someone's whispering or something," I explained as I tried to follow them.
"Bella, there is no whispering," he said.
I walked into the living room and tried to listen closer. That's when I saw that thing pass by me again. I turned around with a gasp but found nothing but Edward looking at me concerned.
"Did you see that?" I asked as I looked around again.
"See what?" he asked.
I closed my eyes tight when my head started feeling fuzzy again. I shook my head, "Nothing," I whispered when I opened my eyes.
He was in front of me now, "Bella are you okay?" he asked.
That's when I felt it drizzle down my nose again. I touched it lightly and pulled my finger back to see the red smeared drop of blood on my finger again.
"Crap," I whispered as I started walking to the sink. Edward was suddenly in front of me. I looked at him confused and a bit scared. I mean he is a vampire after all. He hasn't tasted human blood in a century and now I'm bleeding in front of him.
My blood sang to him. Or at least that's what he told me. Was he going to go out of control and kill me instead of James?
