This story takes place when Bella is still a human. This is my first fanfiction story…let me know how you like it!
I was running, running fast. I turned my head. There, standing in the clearing was a terrifying vampire. Nothing like the Cullens, nothing like James or Victoria or the Volturi even. His skin was ghostly white, with a purple glint on his thin cheeks. Something was off about him. He looked very different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. His long, black hair blew in the harsh wind. The hood of a dark cloak hung on the top of his head. He could see me, he could smell me. He wanted my blood. I picked up the pace of my run when I heard a quiet whimper. I looked to my left and saw a silvery light coming from a cave. I heard a shriek. It sounded very familiar. I changed the direction of my sprint towards the cave. Once I got there I was forced to a halt. I slowly turned my head and saw a strong, white, bony hand resting on my shoulder.
"Edward!" I whispered loudly. I sat up from my dream. I was sweating.
"Yes, love? Is something wrong? I couldn't help but notice you were having a nightmare." He whispered back in his rich, delicate song of a voice.
"No, never mind," I stuttered. "it was nothing. Long story."
"I've got all the time in the world." He said with a smirk on his face. I blushed. Edward had quite a way of doing that to me. "Now tell me what's bothering you."
"Well, it's just…" the thought of the dream made me shudder.
"What is it, Bella?" He leaned closer to me from the wooden rocking chair next to my bed. He brushed my cheek gently with his fingertips. "What's wrong?" He looked concerned. This is precisely the reason I love him so much. Edward cares about me more than anything in the world. He would do anything to protect me.
"It was…well…there was a light. Also there was a vampire. But not like you, it was like, a different species or something. It was terrifying. It was coming to get me." I explained to him.
"Now what did this creature look like?" Edward asked. I explained my entire dream to Edward, not leaving out one detail. Once I was finished telling him the nightmare, he looked shocked. Stunned. His face wasn't moving.
"Edward?" He didn't respond. "Edward!" I yelled at his face. "Edward, what are you thinking about? Talk to me! What does this mean?"
He finally spoke. "Just tell me one thing, Bella. My love."
"Anything." I whispered back to him.
"Tell me, about his nose." Edward said, completely serious.
Suddenly all of my fear escaped me. It was filled with amusement. I tried very hard not to laugh. "His…nose?"
"Yes."
"Well…" I thought very hard. What did his nose look like? That's it! I knew there was something different looking about him. "I don't think he had a nose." Edward stared at the floor for a moment, contemplating something. He started mumbling to himself. Abruptly, he snatched his cell phone out of his shirt pocket and dialed so fast I didn't even notice until he was talking to the person on the other end.
"Alice?" He waited for her to answer. "Yes, I know. Bella just had a dream about them. Well, just one of them actually." Alice talked for a while and then Edward answered. "Alright, I'll be right there."
"What's going on? Who are 'they'" I asked him using air quotes.
"It's fine, nothing to worry about, we just have to take precaution. I'll tell you about it once we get to my family."
"Once we get there? We're going somewhere? But Charlie…" I started to say, Edward cut me off.
"Don't worry. He'll be asleep until long after nine." I glanced up at the clock, it was just past one in the morning. "You don't have to come if you don't want to, I understand you're very tired."
"No, I'm coming." I firmly stated. "but you better explain this to me. I'm scared Edward."
"I will. Don't worry. Alice says hi by the way." He smiled his crooked smile that I loved and then threw me on his back and began to whisk me away to the Cullen residence.
