Hmm, There IS A Light at the End of the Tunnel
Recap: Bella's POV: "News? What? Oh! Yes! Orlov. Let's get out of this pool and I will tell you, my sweet," he said and grabbed my hand. We swam to the edge and pulled ourselves over. Adrian snapped his fingers and we ended up in a new location.
Chapter 19: Answers
Bella's POV:
My head swam from the sudden change around me. Gone were the lavish pool and wet bathing suits. In its place was a ballroom. Adrian was dashing in his dream tuxedo. It makes me what to see this in real time. What am I wearing? I turned to the floor to ceiling windows and stared at my reflection. My hair was in a fancy and tall chignon. I had two wisps of hair curled and loose on each side. I had earrings that were gorgeous. The base was a sparkling yellow diamond that held three miniature yellow diamonds. Around my neck held a matching necklace. That dipped down low, almost touching my yellow dress. The dress was impeccable. The strapless gown had a fitted and covered in rhinestone torso that flowed into a flowing tulle covered bottom half. And on my feet lay a pair of matching ballet flats. Thank heaven I am not subjected to heels even in a dreamscape.
"Do you see what I see?" He asked and circled to stand behind me.
"A man attempting to get out of answering my questions?" I teased.
"Ha!" He scoffed and wrapped both of his long arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. I have to admit looking at our reflection, we do look good together. "I would never try to control your influx of knowledge my dear. I was simply distracted by your beauty. I hope to have this become a reality soon."
"That would be nice, wouldn't it?" I admitted. His eyes sparkled at my answer. Then he twirled me around and grasped my hands and maneuvered us into a dancing position.
"Truly?" He asked. I blushed, of course, and nodded my head. "Then Miss Swan, may I have this dance and I can answer your questions while we sway."
"You may," I said. Then he stepped forward with his left foot and I stepped back with my right.
"What would you like to know first?" He asked and had his right foot step sideways to the right. I moved my left foot step sideways to the left.
"Why was I the target?" I asked and he brought his left foot next to his right foot while I brought my right foot next to my left foot.
"From what I have gathered, the people responsible wanted to hurt you to hurt your father." Adrian said and stepped back with the right foot and I moved forward with my left foot.
"Charlie? Who would want to hurt my dad?" I asked and he stepped back sideways with the left and I stepped forward sideways with my right foot.
"Well, get ready for this. Orlov is apparently your dad's step brother and your uncle. Charlie told me that Orlov was ready for revenge against Charlie for all of the bullying that happened in school." Adrian said and brought his right foot next to his left foot. I brought my left foot next to my right one.
"I can't see my dad bullying anyone. That doesn't make sense. And petty revenge? Is that all?" I asked and we began our six step circuit once more.
"Well your dad got out of him that Orlov is one of the lower men on the totem pole. He was trying to prove himself to his superiors."
"Who are they?" I ask.
"He mentioned some group called the Vultures or something." He mentioned off handedly making my blood turn to ice.
"Do you mean the Volturi?" I ask in a whisper.
"Yes! That was it." He grinned and then vanished. Everything in the dreamscape vanished. I closed my eyes tightly. Then I heard a familiar beeping from a heart monitor. I opened my eyes and looked around at this hospital room. Well, I suppose that news shocked me awake. But now I wish I wasn't. The Volturi, really?! Can I not catch a break!
