Dream
I was in the meadow. The sun was blinding. I squinted my eyes and looked around. I was alone. I couldn't understand why I was here. Wasn't I just in Edward's room? I heard low growling behind me. I spun around. I was staring a huge wolf in the face. It stalked out of the trees slowly towards me, keeping its eyes locked on mine. I gradually began to step backwards away from the ferocious wolf. For some reason I wasn't afraid. I just continued to calmly back away, as if the wolf was nothing more than a puppy. I abruptly felt arms lock around my chest from behind me. Before I even had time to think I impulsively jumped into the air to free myself from the hold. I jumped fifty feet into the air. As I felt the wind blow through my hair I wondered how in the hell I was able to jump so high. I landed on the ground silently and looked to see what had grabbed me. It was Edward. As soon as I had a chance to glimpse him, he was after me again, just a streak of color. The wolf followed as I turned to run. I was running so fast. I imagined that I was only a blur just like Edward had seemed to me. How was the possible? Me, Bella Swan, the clumsiest, most uncoordinated girl on the planet was running faster than a vampire and a werewolf. I ran through the trees like they were nothing, like they were air. I jumped over fallen logs and tree roots as if I already knew they were there. I continued to run as fast as I could and yet I didn't get tired, not even a little winded. What was going on? I didn't get it.
The trees faded away. I was standing in front of my house. I looked up into my bedroom window and saw…me. What was going on? How could I be seeing myself when I was standing in the street? I continued to watch myself through the window, confused. I looked down at my hands. They were glittering in the sunlight. I turned them and watch the prisms of color make rainbows. I glimpsed a lock of my hair lying on my shoulder. It was flame red. What happened to me! Why was my hair red like…hers?
"Victoria, don't even think about moving." I heard Edward's voice next to me. I turned my head to look at him, but he was gone. I heard a low snarl on my other side. I turned my head again, but the wolf was gone. I looked up into the window. I was still there, totally unaware of the vampire standing on the street outside. I felt a burning in my throat as I gazed into the window. I was thirsty, very thirsty, but this thirst was different. It was fueled by hate and fury, by vengeance. It consumed by entire being. My hands curled into claws. I licked my lips and walked towards the house.
"Bella, wake up! You're ok! Stop screaming!" my eyes shot open as Alice began to shake me. My throat was sore. I could tell I had been screaming in my sleep again. My eyes were wet. I wiped the tears away as I sat up. I rubbed my head and blinked my eyes, trying to get my dream out of my head. It scared me just to think about it.
"Is Jacob alright? Where is he? What happened!" I couldn't keep the hysteria out of my voice. I jumped to my feet and raced down the stairs two at a time, my mind going through every possible scenario, making me feel nauseous.
Alice whizzed past me. She stopped in front of me. "He's fine. He's in Carlisle's office. He…" Before she could finish, I glimpsed Edward coming out of the kitchen, a long cut across his cheek and his arm in a sling. I ran past Alice and grabbed Edward's good arm.
"What happened?" I stared into Edward's eyes, trying to see what he had seen.
"Jacob and I had a little run in with Victoria," he responded in a hostile, cold tone.
