BPOV.
Lunch came quickly and once again, I sat with the Cullens with my notebook. Emmett and Rosalie were talking about some ' evening anti-stress activities ' while Alice and Jasper were sitting talking with Edward, sneaking glances at each other lovingly. I opened my notepad to an empty page and began to sketch images from past dreams. I was too engrossed in my drawing that I failed to notice the Cullens had stopped talking.
"Bella?"
Alice's soft voice brought me out of my own little world, back to reality. I looked up at her to see all the Cullens staring at me, confusion clear in their golden eyes
" What??"
Alice's eyes looked from me to my drawing and back again. My drawing was strange a bunch of different faces on the one page, like a collage. All of them had faces contorted in anger and hatred
" what?"
I asked again, my voice quiet. Did I do something wrong? It was Edward who spoke next.
"Bella who are they??"
I looked down at the drawing. Each of their faces were familiar. I concentrated hard on their faces, trying to remember them apart from the dream they appeared. A mad laughter filled my mind as my gaze locked with one of the faces. His mouth was straight and held cruelty. His skin dark along with his long hair. I shook my head, trying to shake the laughter from my mind. A number of the faces were toned to give them a darker complextion. I looked back up at Edward.
" I........I don't know. I know them but I cant........I saw them in a dream but I know............I've seen them..........somewhere else."
" are you sure. "
I nodded my head slowly as Edward held out his hand for the notepad.
" may I??"
I placed in his awaiting hand, my own trembling. I held my hands under the table, winding my fingers close together to stop them from shaking. Edward flicked through my drawings, his golden eyes taking each detail in each drawing. The more he took in, the more his eyes grew, shocked but weary. What was wrong?? He stopped at the picture I had just be drawing, his eyes searching each of the faces. Emotions swirled in his eyes, mostly anger. Had I done something wrong?? the same question rolled in my mind and onto my tongue.
" Edward? I.... don't understand....its just a drawing."
He handed me back my notepad and smiled beautifully, though it did not meet his eyes.
"its nothing Bella. We just thought we recognised some of these faces, but it would be impossible."
I nodded slowly. He would tell me later........I would make sure of it. I stuffed my notepad back into my bag and left the table, upset at my self for drawing things from my dreams. It was stupid thing to do. I don't know what made me do it but I guess it helped in a way. My own little diary.
Why does it have to be me?? Why cant this nightmare happen to someone else? Why me?
I sensed Edward behind me as I left the school. He grabbed my hand and pulled me backwards.
" Bella, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings."
He turned my body so I was facing his. I looked up at him and gazed in to his eyes.
" its not that. I'm just....."
I turned my face away from him, trying to blink away the tears that threatened to fall.
" What's wrong Bella."
He lifted my chin, making me look at him. His eyes were mesmerizing, holding me captive in his gaze. He kissed away the traitor tears and lingered at the corner of my mouth, causing my heart to hitch.
"Bella, what is troubling you? Please. I hate to see you like this. Please Bella?"
I close my eyes, almost reluctant.
" just leave me be. Please."
His hand fell from me, to his side. I opened my eyes again, then immediately regretted that action. The sadness in his eyes was unbearable. I lifted my hand and touched his cheek gently. The sadness never left his eyes as my fingers gently brushed his lips.
" Edward, please don't be sad. I just need time to think things through. Its not you. Please."
My voice wavered, as more tears trickled down my cheeks and a lump formed in my throat. He smiled sadly as he wiped the tears from my face.
" take as much time as you need. None of us know what you are going through, we just want to help."
" I know, I just need to get my head straight."
He nodded.
" can I least see you tonight??"
I smiled and nodded, wanting more than anything than to see Edward smile again, in which he did. I turned and walked down the the street towards home.
I walked through the front door and locked it behind me. I took a deep breath and took in my surroundings. This was home. Not some place in Italy with a group of vampires who kill everyone precious to me. I walked through the house till I came to the back door. I walked onto the porch, staring into the dense forest looking at nothing. I couldn't hide from the fact that I was human nor the fact that I was a......reincarnation. Accepting these facts gave me a sense of dread and the feeling of being trapped. I walked to the porch swing and layed down, my hands under my head and my knees close to my chest.. I closed my eyes listening the wind blowing through the trees. A sense of calm washed over me as I drifted to sleep.
I walked down the cobbled street, my cloak flowing, silently, behind me. I gazed up at the night sky, taking in the beauty of the stars that sparkled like diamonds. I was mesmerized by its beauty. The small breeze brought me out of my trance, as it carried the scent of dogs. My nose scrunched at the smell. Disgusting creatures. I looked around before putting my hood and continuing through the streets. The wind blowed stronger and along with it, the smell. I froze at the sound of howling echoed through the night silence. I spun round at the sound of growling. In front of me stood ten wolves, unnaturally big. My hands went out defensively as they growled, their fur standing on end. They crouched as I went into fighting stance a snarl ripped from my throat. How dare they be here. They ran forward, their large paws making no sounds. They bared their teeth................
" Bella, wake up honey."
Someone shook me gently. My eyes fluttered open then shutted quickly as I was blinded by a bright. I groaned and covered my eyes with my hands. Someone chuckled, the sound low and soft. Like black velvet. I opened my eyes again to see Edward standing behind Charlie. His eyes locking with mine. I looked away to see my dad looking from me to him, a knowing look in his eyes. I blushed and ran my hand through my hair nervously. I looked up at Charlie and asked
" Dad, What's wrong?"
Charlie was giving Edward a weird look before turning to me
" nothing. What were you dreaming of? You were muttering things about werewolves."
Crap.
" nothing.......Emmett was trying to scare me about werewolves living in the woods."
Edward coughed behind his hand trying to hide his smile. Charlie nodded. I swung my legs over the edge of the swing up quickly. Too quickly. The world spun causing me to fall. Charlie caught me before I hit the ground. I laughed. Charlie sat me back on the swing.
" are you ok??"
Charlie and Edward spoke at the same time, both sounding alarmed. I laughed again. I nodded slowly. Edward sat down beside me.
" Bella are you sure you're alright??"
" yeh, I stood up too quickly, that's all"
Edward nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. I sat there gazing into the intense golden orbs, losing myself in their warmth. Charlie cleared his throat and said.
" I'll..... leave you too alone."
and with that he was gone back into the house. I watched him go until he was gone from view.
" Bella what were you dreaming of??"
I looked back at Edward, his eyes smouldering with concern.
" it was the wolves. They attacked. I don't know why. They just did. I don't know what happened afterwards."
Edward pulled me into his hard chest as tears threatened to fall. I felt the brush of his lips on my head, the simple gesture sending electricity through my body. I clung to him.
This was home.
In Edwards arms.
