My last thought rang in my ears as I fell asleep. Safe.

Even after all of yesterday, I had a nightmare. My brain needed some serious rewiring.

'I was running through the forest, in that impossibly frustrating slow-motion that dreams tended to have. I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance that this forest had to the one I saw every night that Edward was gone.

I was searching for something, or someone, but I could tell I was running in circles. "Edward?" I whispered. "Where are you?" I suddenly broke thorugh some bushes and saw my vampire love in front of me, smiling. Then my vision rippled.

The setting had changed quickly, from forest to a chapel. I looked down to see myself in a white gown that poofed outward at my waist. I realized quickly that I was at my wedding. I looked up to see Edward in an elegant tuxedo, smiling that crooked smile that I loved, his eyes full of passion. The golden orbs weren't smoldering. They seemed to be on fire.

I walked slowly towards him, unconcious that I had done so until I was standing right in front of Edward. Then the scene changed again.

This was where the nightmare began.

I was in a long corridor, and I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. A sudden light filled the hall from the end of the corridor. I immeadiately took in my surroundings. The walls were a light grey color, and a long, narrow mirror stretched along the walls, only covering the middle of them. I automatically followed the source of the glow, walking cautiously along the red carpet that seemed to be set specifically for me.

My footsteps echoed against the cement walls. The hallway seemed never-ending, as I kept walking for what seemed like hours. My surroundings never changed. The weirdest thing was that I didn't see my reflection in the mirror as I walked.

Finally, I saw a large double-door at the end of the corridor. I pushed it open, and it easily swung inwards. Again, in the middle of the room, Edward stood, smiling, his golden eyes smoldering. "Edward!" I cried. I ran into his outstretched arms.

I felt his cold embrace. His hands were on the small of my back, pulling me closer. I looked up to kiss him, preparing my heart to see his beautiful face, but what I saw probably needed more preparation than I thought. Instead of Edward's eyes, I saw the crimson eyes of a certain blonde vampire that scared me out of my mind. I saw the face of Jane, a member of the Volturi.

I screamed as I writhed, pointlessly, in her stone grip. "Edward!" I screamed. "Where are you?!" Jane just gave me an evil grin, all of her teeth showing. It terrified me to no end. "Edward! Help me please! It's Jane!"

Edward was nowhere to be seen. That is, until I looked to my left. I felt Jane's arms disappear, and all I could feel was the fear that wrapped around me. I saw Edward fighting against Aro, Demetri, and Caius. Alone.

I screamed and ran, in the terrifying slow-motion. The only thing that seemed to be happening was the Edward was getting farther and farther away the more I ran. "Edward!" I managed to let out one last scream.'

"Bella!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Bella! Wake up! It's me!"

My eyes flashed open, and I immediately felt Edward's sturdy arms around me. His cold lips were at my ear, repeating, "It's just a dream," over and over. Once my mind was clear enough to comprehend what had just happened, I began to cry.

Edward wrapped my in a cold embrace. He waited patiently as I cried my heart out. His face was in my hair, and his fingers made idle shapes on my back, probably to calm me down. He hummed my lullaby into my ear when that didn't work.

After what felt like hours, my sobs became silent tears. They trickled down my cheeks. Edward kissed my cheeks, catching every one.
