CHAPTER 8

When sleep overtook me I realized I was falling into a very deep, dark abyss. Golden eyes and beautiful faces surrounded me, the faces of the Cullens, the vampires who have left me alone one to many times.

"I HATE YOU!" I yelled at the illusions, and then right before me Bret's beautiful face appeared and he held his arms out to me. I grabbed him around the waste and hung on for dear life.

"It's alright dear Bella, don't be upset by them, you have me now and I'll never leave you" Bret whispered softly in my ear. His lips lingered after his gorgeous whisper. The warm feeling of his breath against my ear sent shivers down my spine.

"Bret, I love you. I love you more than anyone I've ever loved before. I want you to be mine forever" My words dissolved as the scenery changed.

Next thing I knew I was landing on a soft patch of grass, I glanced around and examined my surroundings. There were lots of huge trees, their leaves were a deep shade of hunter green and their trunks were a healthy shade of brown. Just how I remembered Phoenix. The field that I was sitting in was being overloaded with flowers, they were different colors of purple, blue, and pink. It was absolutely beautiful, but I heard something that didn't seem to belong. It sounded like huge boulders being smacked together simultaneously. It reminded me of the baseball games that the Cullens invited me to, which was before I had to run for my life.

I got up to follow the sound, trying to see if I could figure out what it was, but I was hesitant to move. If it was Edward, I definitely didn't want to see him, I didn't want to hear his excuse of why he left me this time. I was done being left alone, I was done with Edward Cullen, and that was my exact and final decision. I felt a tear hit my nose and I wiped it away immediately. No more tears over Edward. I had Bret now.

I walked slowly, almost relieved I could no longer hear the sound, but as soon as everything would become silent, the boulder smacking sound would come back. I flinched at some of it. The noise frightened me with each loud clash.

I walked into the middle of a huge amount of trees. The leaves canopied around as if trying to keep me back. I pushed around the thick branches. Of course some came back before I could get around them, so I tripped multiple times, cutting up my arms and legs with each painfully small blow to my body

.
When I got to the end of the tree blockade, I saw Bret and Edward. They were fighting, of course that was what was making all that noise… only the noise of two male vampires going at it could possibly make that much noise. Would Edward kill Bret? He wouldn't, Bret is the love of my life, and he wouldn't dare kill the one thing in my life that never left… would he? I don't think I could go on if I lost someone else I cared so much for.

Then I saw me, lying in lush green grass, I was paler than I normally was, deathly pale. It was like all the blood in my body was sucked out in one swift gulp. The rose color which was usually placed across my cheek bones was no longer visible as if the very life of me had drifted away far over the distant hills. My eyes were closed tight behind pale curtains and it seemed like they would never open to see the world again.

I walked closer to myself, trying to get past Edward and Bret who were fighting. I avoided looking at Edward and his cold, hard gaze as much as possible. His eyes, the eyes I fell in love with were a deep, dark never ending abyss of black that shown with such rage. Bret's eyes were a nasty black as well but more a black of pain and agony.

When I was standing over my second self, I spotted two puncture wounds on my neck which seemed to glow a deep, crimson red. The kind only a vampire can make… had Bret changed me? But why do I look so dead? Maybe that's just how I look before I change, if only this could really happen to me, but a pang of hurt hit my heart. Edward promised me he would make me a vampire and if not, Carlisle would do it. It hurt a bit to know that it may not have been Edward who changed me.

I turned as swiftly as I could to see the two ravaging vampires fighting. Edward was on top of Bret fangs barred and looking very evil. He was ripping at Bret's skin as the blood was flowing from Bret, in waves. I was so scared. I didn't want Bret to die, I couldn't lose him. I wouldn't let the selfish Edward tear my new love to bits right before my very eyes.

"STOP IT!" I screamed, tears running down my face. "PLEASE JUST STOP!" Edward stopped and looked at me with black eyes which slightly turned, right in the center, the usual almond color. His face trembled under extreme agony as he heard my voice linger in the forest.

"Bella how are you here?" He whispered in very audible voice. His gaze shifted uneasily as he looked at my body up and down as if he hadn't seen me in years when it was actually only one day.

"What do you mean by that?!" I snapped at him, I was standing right there in front of him. I was alive and well, despite the fact I was utterly heart broken and torn into pieces. I was alive… wasn't I?

"Bella… that's you on the ground, he killed you." He was glaring so hatefully at Bret who was lying on the ground with blood trickling from his open mouth. Bret's eyes too were fixed on me but his eyes were an almond color, no black shown anywhere.

"Wh-What?! I'm not dead?! I'm right here Edward, I'm right here! Edward, you're scaring me!" The tears were falling down my face in huge rivets as I screamed at Edward, my small fists, clenching together at my sides.

"Bella, oh dearest Bella, I'm so sorry. I thought I could control it, I just wanted you to be mine forever." This time it was Bret, he sounded horrible. It sounded as if he had smoked 5 packs of cigarettes and downed it with some brandy. His eyes were slowly fading into a light gray as I ran towards him.

"Bret, please don't die. I know you didn't do it on purpose." I stroked is now ragged face, it was once so beautiful, now torn to shreds by the boy who couldn't get over me.

"Oh Bella, I love you. I love you so much" Bret whispered as placed one of his dirty, bloodied hands onto mine with soo much struggle it seemed as though he would never be able to lift it. I heard Edward growl in an over protective manner from behind me but I didn't care, I was losing the one thing in my life that never left me, not even once.

"Good bye Bret, I'll never forget you, I love you." I kissed his soft lips for the last time and went back to sleep.
