I kept staring towards the door, shaking like a leaf, unable to move because I was paralyzed by the fright. I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't even take my eyes from the doors for a second. It was like when you were just a kid, and you were scared of monsters, ghosts and whatever your imagination could come up with. You would hear things, or see something in every corner, because your imagination was playing a trick on you. The only difference now, was that I appeared to know those monsters were for real, they really existed, only less scary looking. They all looked like us, but what they were, was a whole different story.
I looked from the door leading out of my room, to the window, and all over the place, just hoping something would happen somewhere. He would use his remarkable strength, and kick in the door, then kick in the following doors, which I didn't wanna know what hid behind. He'd lift it up, yell at them to leave his girl alone, strangle it and throw it out the window, then pick me up into his strong, cold arms, kiss me and tell me everything was okay now, and finally admit he made a mistake ever leaving me, that I was actually safer, if he would always be around, and protect me. A tear fell as I thought of how much I actually missed him. It was hard for me to be away from him. I had gotten so used to us always being together, and now that he'd put our love on the line, I felt so lonely. I didn't have alot of friends anyway, Jessica was sometimes just driving me crazy and Angela and I were never really that close. I had lost both a best friend, and the love of my life. Of course I had Jacob, but it wasn't the same. I could never love him the way he wanted me to. He was more like a brother, the one I never had. And I missed the sister, Alice. Would we ever become real sisters now? Edward had clearly stated I could not come to visit unless he told me so, because something could attack me on the long way over there. I knew he just wanted to protect me, but what if he underestimated me? I was a strong girl, I would be able to stay out of trouble, and take care of myself. I loved his protective side, but sometimes it just got out of hand. Everytime he did, I kept telling myself he did this only because he loved me, and cared about me. It would've broke his heart seeing me getting hurt. That's how I tried to look at it from a positive point of view, and that's how I had survived being alone so far.
But back to now, I decided to pull myself together, and be that strong, independent girl I wanted him to see me like. I hoped he'd watch me from outside the window, so that he could see I wasn't a wimp, and slowly started moving towards the closet, with my legs like jelly, and my heart beating over a hudred kilometers per hour, the sound of it's beating could probably be heard all the way through Forks. I stopped dead in my tracks in front of the doors, just listening for anything, a breathing or something coming from inside, but it was dead silent, and the only thing I actually heard was my heart, and the wind blowing outside the window. I closed my eyes and counted to ten before I opened, as I tried to slow down my heartbeat, cause wheter there was anything in the closet or not, I would most likely die anyway, from a stroke. I carefully opened the door halfways, and nothing happened. So far, so good huh? I ripped it up quickly like I had in the dream, but everything in there seemed to be completely normal. Just a few pairs of sneakers, and all my clothes on the shelves. I let out a sigh of relief, and my heartbeat slowly got back to normal. I leaned against the door and laughed at myself, as I thought of how silly I had been, and how unnecessary it was to get so stressed up over something that didn't even exist. Of course a vampire wouldn't pop out of my closet, most likely Edwrd, but he wasn't even here, he kept his distance for a while, but I couldn't entirely let go of the dream. It kept playing in my head, over and over again, like those old music cassettes, that had been played too many times. The dream had been so relistic, it even felt real. It must have had some kind of a deeper meaning than just a dream. I didn't even have these kind of dreams, never before. It was like an angel that came to my dream, and warned me, told me to be careful. If I could only meet Alice, she could state wheter something bad would happen to me, or not. But I wasn't even allowed to go there alone. I looked through the window, where I could see the top of the trees from where I was standing. I wanted to break the rules, and go anyway, but of course, he wanted to protect me from anything that could be a threat. He even mentioned I should "stay away from those flea infested dogs". It was one of the silliest things I've heard,but then again, he never got along with Jacob, and obviously he never would. They were naturally enemies, which I couldn't do anything about.

Now that I'm already here, I could as well get dressed, I thought and pulled out a pair of worn baby blue jeans, my blue sweater and a pair of white sneakers. I made myself ready by brushing my hair and teeth, I couldn't help but laugh as I saw myself in the mirror. I was used to see myself as pale, but this was just hilarious, I would've made Edward look tanned next to me. I went down into the kitchen where Charlie was already sitting by the little table, bent over the newspaper, with a concerned look on his face. Whatever he was reading it must had been something involving the police. I stepped in and tried to look happy, hiding the nightmare that still flashed in front of my eyes.

"Morning Bella, you alright?" he asked looking up from the paper, now even more concerned than before. I must had been stupid thinking he wouldn't notice his daughter wasn't alright. I still continued smiling and put lemon flavored tea into my cup.

"I'm fine dad, just a bad dream" I explained putting two slices of bread into the toaster. Practically I wasn't lying. It's just that I felt there was more to it than just a dream, and I would certainly not tell him about the other part. He'd put me into his police car and drive me to the hospital. Dr. Cullen would ask what's wrong and find out I almost revealed the secret about them, and that was the end of mine and Edwards relationship for good!

"Alright" he said getting up from his chair throwing his coat over his shoulders. "I have to get to work now, I'm late already. I called the Black's,Jacob is coming to look after you" he said and kissed my forehead.

"Look after me? What am I four?" I said teasingly, but at the same time annoyed nobody thought I could take care of myself, not even my own dad. I wasn't a baby anymore, not technically.

"It's just..how should I say this..you know you're not the most gracious person, and trouble always seems to be following you, so I feel better if you're in good hands" he said, and stroke my hair before he left. I stood there just thinking for a while, not knowing if I should laugh or cry. I shaked it off and sat down by the table where Charlie had been sitting earlier, and sipped on my tea. As I looked in the newspaper to see what he had been so fascinated about, I could see why he had been in such a hurry, and why he couldn't leave me alone at home. It all started to make sense now. Three people had been found dead this morning, they had been killed between 6AM and 7:30AM, gosh that was the time I had been dreaming. I continued reading, the murdered people,one woman and two men, were deeply scarred, and lost alot of blood, possibly killed by a wild animal. My hands started to shake as I read. I knew what this meant, I knew what had happened, I knew it was after me, and I knew it was the proof to my dream! Now that I had read it, I had mixed feelings about dad contacting Jacob. I knew I could feel safe when he was around, but a vampire? I would hate to see him get hurt, or even killed, and who knew how strong this one was? If I lost him, there wouldn't be much left for me to live for.
