I was trying to keep myself from falling into the giant pool of dark red water. Edward was reaching for me, and I could hear him calling my name. As I reached for him, I slipped and fell in. I opened my mouth to scream, but as I did so, I felt hot blood scorch my lungs as I sucked it in. It was disgusting, and I struggled for him.
"Edward!" I called loudly. I felt someone grip my shoulders and shake me roughly.
"Bella? Bella, wake up." I opened my eyes quickly and stared at him.
"What…?" I trailed off as I looked around. I was sitting up on the bed, and Edward was hovering over me. I had no idea what time it was, or how I got there. I remembered watching them play not too long ago. Now I was here?
"You fell asleep." He said, sitting down next to me and lightly brushing my hair out of my face. I shuddered.
"I had the most terrible dream." I mumbled. He nodded.
"You were screaming." I blushed and looked away. I hated when I talked out in my sleep.
"What did I say?" I asked slowly.
"My name."
"Sorry I fell asleep. Who won?" He smiled at me brightly.
"We did." I nodded and stood up. Walking over to the window I now saw that it was black as night outside. Actually, it was night.
"What time is it?" I asked quietly, hugging myself as I stared out at the dark woods.
"Nearing one o'clock." He muttered. I sighed and sulked back over to the bed. I should at least try to go back to sleep. I didn't know how early they would get me up, and I wanted to be well rested for the day ahead. No sooner did I decided to settle on the bed, Edward was already lying by my side.
"You have to stay here for a while tomorrow." He whispered. I closed my eyes.
"Why?"
"Because we… I…" My eyes flashed open.
"You're going…hunting?" He nodded slowly and I bit my lip. "You still won't take me with you?"
"No!" He hissed. "You're staying here with Alice and Esme, whether you like it or not." I rolled onto my side so my back was to him and I closed my eyes again.
"Fine." I grumbled. I didn't want him to leave me, and I wanted to see how he hunted. I thought it would be interesting, but he thought it would be too dangerous. I put enough faith and trust into Edward to know that he wouldn't hurt me, even if he wanted to.
"Good night, Bella." I yawned and nodded.
"Night…Edwa…" I drifted back into sleep even before I could finish.
