Aftermath, discussions, distractions and dreams that come true when I awake.

Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)

WOW! I feel enlightened before I even open my eyes. Last night was the best night of my life.


*Elena Cullen in Breaking dawn part 1*

I open my eyes and look around. I am still really happy. I turn my head but I stop moving. Why is there white fluff pieces in my hair.

I pick it out and see that it's feathers from a pillow. I sit up and see the whole bed is covered in feathers and the bed base is broken.

What the hell?

I pat the bed and send feathers flying everywhere.

I head to the bathroom and stand in front of the mirror. I have my head down for a second before shaking it and looking up at my reflection.

I remember being on the bed with him, stroking his hair and him holding my waist. Kissing. I touch one side of my neck and then gently move my hand across my collar bone to the other side. Then I move my hand up to the back of my neck while closing my eyes. I remember stroking his head as he lays on top of me and I gaze off into space lost in the moment.

I move my hand to my lips and squeeze them gently. I remember the kisses being different as he tries not to restrain himself as much. Our noses touching. I move my hand to my nose.

My happy thoughts are interrupted by a voice. "How badly are you hurt?"

I bring my eyes back up to the mirror to see my husband stood behind me. Hurt?

"What?" I ask him in confusion.

His face is distraught as he lifts the sleeve of my dressing gown. I see what looks like dirt marks on my arms but I can worry about them later. I cover my arm back up and turn to wrap myself in his arms. I place my hands on my chest.

"No, Elena, look," he tells me and lowers the back of my dressing gown. I see more marks but this time I notice what they look like. Fingerprint bruises. He had done this which is why he is so distraught. I must have really been in the moment not to notice. "Elena I can't tell you how sorry I am."

He is clearly pissed off with himself. He walks away as I look at my black and blue shoulder.

I place my gown back over my shoulder and follow him into the bedroom.

"I'm not," I say as I storm after him and I hear him scoff. "Really I'm not. I'm fine."

"Don't say your fine," he tells me as we stop in front of the mangled bed and he sits down on it. "Just don't."

Why is he trying to ruin the perfect day.

"No you don't," I tell him a little angry at his attitude. "Don't ruin this."

"I've already ruined it," he informs me.

I look down at the floor before back up at him as I shake my head. "Why can't you see how perfectly happy I am? Or was five seconds ago. I mean now I'm sort of pissed off actually."

He acts like this is good.

"You should be angry with me," he tells me.

I swallow.

"I mean we knew this would be tricky right?" I point out to him as we always knew there were lots of variables and unknowns when it came to human/vampire relationships. "I think we did amazing. I mean it was amazing for me."

He seems amused. "That's what you're worried about? That I didn't enjoy myself?"

"I know it's not the same for you," I say as I think back to last night. "But for a human... I can't imagine it gets any better than that."

He stands up and places his hands in mine and puts his face close to mine.

"Last night," he begins quietly. "Was the best night of my existence."

I sigh in relief. I put my arm around his neck. "You're the best."

I begin to kiss him but he keeps me restrained. Oh boy now I know how this honeymoon is going to go.

I pull back to confirm my suspicions.

"You're not gonna touch me again, are you?" I ask and he lightly touches my face. I pull back his hand and scoff. "You know that's not what I meant."

He avoids answering and changes the subject. "Let me make you breakfast."

I go to touch him but he just walks away.

Not good.

Talk about Edward's new favourite game being how to distract Elena. The day after our first night here we played chess.

He beat me and I knocked over the pieces in annoyance.

That night I wore one of Alice's frilly night gowns. Edward laughs and turns face down onto the mattress

The next day he decides we should try cliff diving. We head to a waterfall and I glance down at the water and wonder whether I am crazy. I place a piece of my hair behind my ear.

I then smile and jump, Edward catches my knees and I cling onto his back. I close my eyes and lower my head. Then he jumps and I feel my stomach drop as we fall towards the water.

THEN WE HIT IT! It's freezing but a relief in this roasting weather. I swim for the surface and when I hit it I gasp as I come up. I then swim to Edward and hug my body to his. He smiles and then we begin to kiss deeply.

Then he goes underwater and appears a second later, further down from me. Oh that's cheating. I gasp and shake my head.

Another chess game, which he wins again. He smirks and I glance to the ocean and shake my head.

Then it's hiking where once again he cheats by speeding along and I force myself to try and keep up.

That night I go to bed and slam myself down in another one of the garments. I wrap my hands around my pillow and bury my head in it.

I feel Edward lay my blanket over me.

(Dream)

We are playing chess and I smile and go wide eyed as I stare at my husband who had just made a critical mistake.

I knock over his red king and he realises I have won. I smirk again. "I win."

I shove aside the chess set and throw myself at him. I pull him towards me and we begin to kiss. We laugh and before I know it-

(DREAM OVER)


*Elena Cullen in Breaking dawn part 1*

I blink as I open my eyes and I am in bed. Oh! It had been a dream.

As I remember the dream, tears fight to fall and I sniffle.

"Elena," Edward says and he places his hand over my arm as he leans over me and speaks gently. "You having a nightmare?"

"No," I say turning so I am on my back and I can see him as I talk to him. I sniffle. "It wa just a dream. It was a really good dream."

He strokes my hair and frowns in confusion.

"Then why are you crying?" He asks me quietly.

"Because I wanted it to be real," I explain to him.

"Tell me," he says gently looking down before back up at me.

I pull him towards me and begin to kiss him as deeply It begins to go as deep as before when he figures out what I am up to.

"Elena, I can't," he says as he pulls away with a little force.

I take a deep breath before pleading. "Please... please."

He closes his eyes for a second, seems to give up... And my night continues from where my dream finished.
