All that I could see though the fire was Edward's face. I remember screaming his name for an eternity. The coldness of his touch felt almost surreal. The nightmare was full of never ending blinding pain. Then the nightmare was over, and I was lying on the bed in the loft that belonged to Edward and I, their appeared to be blood on the mattress and the sheets where in disarray. My hair was no longer in a pony tail, but limp around my face and sticky, no doubt from sweating away that terrible nightmare. I could not remember very much, except Edward's face. He was suddenly at the door.
"Hi" he whispered, I could hear him perfectly from where I sat. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired I suppose, but not tired…. Almost exhilarated."
Edward laughed. "Exactly how I felt." I guess by my expression that he suddenly forgot to tell me something. He walked over to the bed where I was sitting and sat beside me.
"Do you remember what happened three days ago?"
"To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much of anything."
He leaned closer and nibbled on my ear just the slightest and whispered "I gave you a wedding present"
I suddenly remembered and I touched the side of my face. It was stone cold and my neck no longer had a pulse. It seemed it was replaced by two little holes on the side on my neck.
I looked over to Edward who was inches from my face. Arched my neck and kissed his perfect lips.
"I do believe that I owe you a present don't I," I said slyly
"Alice did me a favor and booked me a date with a minister"
"Where?"
"On The beach, the Klyazminskoye Reservoir… in the daylight."
"but?"
"don't worry, the minister is on of us."
I had never seen him so happy.
