I wanted to stay awake the whole night, but Edward insitsted I sleep. "You need to rest Bella. I will stay will you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow... Isn't that enough?"he had siad.
Edward hummed the familar lullabye he wrote for me.
I never thought sleep would overtake me so soon but it did and I fell alsleep.
I fell in to a dark alley like the one I was in Port Angeles but this one was a replica of it except much, much, more creepier. Then., I saw a spot of flaming red.
"Hi little on. I was expecting you." a female vioce hissed in my ear. I whirled around, coming face to face with Victoria. Her feline looks, and her face burned fresh into my memory. This isn't real. It couldn't be. No, no... Then before I could scream, she attacked me.
"Edward!" I screamed my voice echoing.
I woke up with a start. Edward looked worried. Thank God that was all a horrible nightmare that just happened to be too real.
"I had a horrible dream Edward," I whispered.
"Its okay. You're safe with me," he said comforting me.
"Victoria was in it. Then she killed me," I said through sobs feeling like an idiot.
"Victoria is going to die soon" Edward said, his vioce hard and no longer smooth. He hugged me tighter. I inhaled his scent. It made my mind swirl but I was grateful for a distration, even if it was a tiny one. " Go back to sleep, Bella. Nothing's going to hurt you."
I went back to sleep. I had no dreams at all and I was gratful for that.
When I woke up, it was 9:00. It was late, and I was late for work I was still wearing yesterday's clothes.
"I should of brought some clothes over. Stupid me. I'm late for work," I chided myself.
" Bella it's okay. I called the Newtons and told them you couldn't come since what had happened to Charlie. They said it was fine. I discussed the "other" problem with Esme. She said you could borrow some of her clothes," Edward said, appearing out of nowhere.
A few seconds later, Alice appeared with some of Esme clothes.
" I think these would look good on you and fit snugly. Of course, Esme and I bought some extra clothes for you in case you came over again," Alice said, winking.
"I need a human minute," I confessed to them.
" Sure. We'll be here," said Alice.
'Where's the bathroom?" I asked feeling stupid.
"Go down the hall and turn left. You should find it," said Edward
I found the bathroom and changed into Esme's clothes. Allice was right, they did fit well and looked good. I sighed. Alice probably "saw" that.
I walked back to Edward's room. As usual, I tripped on the rug. Luckily, I grabbed hold of the railing before my face hit the floor.
I could see Alice and Edward deep in conversation. Maybe I shouldn't distub them. Before I made my choice, Carlisle stopped me.
"Bella," he said, his voice full of sympathy." I'm afraid Charlie isn't doing so well."
I sucked in a breath. No! Charlie couldn't... he would live... he's strong enough... My paled drained of blood. What am I going to do? I couldn't just stand here. I am the only one Charlie has.
