Hello
First thing. I saw TWILIGHT on the first day it came out and I loved it. I know that some people were disappointed with it because it wasn't exactly like the book but I wasn't expecting it to be word for word and in my opinion I thought it was pretty damn good!!! (Also Rob Pattinson is pretty fine) :D
Second. I'm sorry it's taken a long time for me to get another chapter up :( but it's holidays and i'll be able to write alot quicker,
Third. Also I'm sorry but I have no song for this chapter, but like before if you have one please let me know.
XO.

We suddenly stopped running. Emmett spun and grabbed my shoulders.
"Bella," he shook them.
"Yes."
He dropped his arms and held up one hand.
"It's time to wake up." He snapped his fingers and I did.
~~*~~
My eyes shot open and took in my surroundings. I breathed in a sigh of relief. I wasn't in the forest being terrified of Edward or chasing Emmett through the winding trees. I was laying in my bed with the morning breeze flowing through the large french doors.
Shock came as soon as the relief did.
Above me were a pair of sparkling off-gold eyes and matching curly black hair. The figure above me was laughing so hard he was shaking the bed. I could hear other laughter from around the room. I blinked a few times to let my eyes adjust properly and I spotted the rest of the Cullens spaced around the room laughing as well.
A quiet, tinkling laugh was coming from beside my head and my attention turned to Alice.
"Good morning Bella," she smiled sweetly but her eyes were laughing just like everyone else.
I proped myself up on my elbows to get a better look around.
"Alice," I said and rubbed my eyes.
Emmett was trying to compose himself with no such luck. It annoyed me that I was missing out on the joke.
"What's so funny?" I asked no one in particular. Jasper and Rosalie- who were standing at the end of my bed- covered their mouths to stop the chuckles from escaping. Alice also bit her lip down to keep silent. Emmett thought- as it seems- didn't worry about concealing his amusement.
"You never told us youslepttalkedBella!" he bursted into a fit of laughter. Even though he stumbled through those last words, I caught them.
I was shocked. I only slept talked when I was younger- well that's what Charlie told me anyway. He said that I outgrew it once I stopped ageing. Charlie was never a good liar, I wonder how he got that one past me...
Emmett started to calm down ... then he started back up again!
"Oh, I'm glad you find this funny Emmett!" I growled.
"It's not the fact that you sleep talk Bella," Jasper soothed.
"It's just what you said," Rosalie finished.
My cheeks started heating up. What could I have possibly said that found do hilarious? Actually I'd rather not know.
"Bella, do you remember what happened in your dream?" Alice asked.
"Yes, I was," I didn't want to mention the whole Edward/vampire turning into a bat- I was still trying to process that one myself- so I searched further through my nightmare,"Talking to Emmett," I recalled.
"Do you remember what you and Emmett said?"
"Yes." I had a perfect recollection of what happened.
"So do we," Emmett chuckled to himself. Obviously only intended for himself.
"Pardon? What was that?"
He seemed a little surprised that I herd what he had said.
"Um Bella,"Alice started snickering,"Well you kind of had a conversation with Emmett while you were asleep."
The room was filled with their laughter. While I was left embarrassed in my bed, with a rosy blush on my cheeks.
At least now I understood why everyone was having a spazz attack.
"Conversation," I stuttered out,"With Emmet? Out loud?"
Alice merly nodded her head while holding her side wit one hand and covering her mouth with the other.
"How?"
"Beats me." Emmett shrugged.
"Okay," I settled myself," What did you guys hear?"
Emmett was suddenly animated.
"Well first we all came over to walk with you and Alice," he gestured to himself, Rosalie and Jasper," We knocked on the door and Alice let us in. You were asleep when we came in and I wanted to wake you up but miss Alice over here," he nodded his head in her direction," Told us not to- something about bad luck waking a sleeper. Like you need any more bad luck." He shook his head and snickered.
I let that pass. I had more serious things to worry about other than Emmett's comments.
"Anyways, it looked like you were a coma patient- literately," I narrowed my eyes at him," Whoops. Right, sleep talking. Well like I was saying 'coma patient'," he indicated with his fingers. My jaw was set, but that didn't bother him.
"Maybe I should tell the story Emmett," Alice intergected," It looks like Bella's going to hit you with something," Emmett looked smug. But I knew if I did hit him I would do a lot of damage.
I twisted my head from Emmett to Alice and waited for her to continue.
"Okay. Like Emmett said before they came over to come and see us and I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful. So I told them to hang around for a little while because you might've woken up soon." The uncertainty that I might've woken up soon, seemed to place a grimace on her angelic face.
"You started getting restless and tossing in bed, we thought you were going to wake at any time, but you didn't." In my mind I saw snap shots of blood dripping from long white fangs and tried to conceal the shudder."Emmett was getting impatient- like always- and wanted to wake you up and before I know, he's hovering over you calling your name," Again I recalled the part in my nightmare when I heard Emmett calling my name.
Alice started giggling,"And that's when-"
"The talking started," I finished for her. I glanced around the room to- surprisingly- find everyone well behaved.
"Emmett said 'Bella' twice," Alice begun,"Then you answered'yes' out loud," So much for being well behaved. Whatever had kept them calm for the last few minutes noticeably stopped working. Even Jasper- who seemed pretty good at keeping his felling under wraps- was laughing it up as much as the others.
Again there I sat, embarrassed to the extrema. I pulled my dona up to my chin and cleared my throat. I know that they think that this is a great big joke, but I was worried that they heard somethings that I had no intention of them hearing.
I took in a deep breath,"So then what happened?"
Jasper was instantly in control again,"Well then Emmett started saying 'Bella' twice again and like before you answered him. this time with a 'yeah,"As before- when Alice spoke- I remembered that happening," Then Emmett smiled and he wanted to see if it was a coincidence or that you really were talking to him, so-,"
Emmett interrupted Jasper and continued telling the story," I said 'Bella, we've gotta go, then you yelled out 'No! wait for me!" By this time the whole room erupted into a fit of laughter.
"Bella," Rosalie managed to say through her laughter,"You looked so," laugh,"scared," laugh,"As if we were," laugh,"Going to leave without you," she rushed through that last line.
Embarrassment flooded through me like a tidal wave, strong and powerful and leaving me utterly helpless. My cheeks felt like the should be a flaming red but I knew that they would only turn the softest of pinks.
As their amusement died down so did my blush and I could finally ask what had happened next.
"Then..." I prompted.
"Then Emmett said 'We've got to go' then you said 'Go where?" Alice giggled at the memory.
"Then I said 'To class," Emmett continued," Then you said 'Class?" I remembered that that part of my nightmare made no sense to me. It was nice- in some twisted way- to finally understand.
"Then I said 'That's what I said' but you didn't answer. A few second later though you yelled out 'Huh?!' classic," I blushed again while they laughed it all out and waited for him to continue.
Emmett snickered but went on anyway," I repeated my line again, no answer. We thought that maybe all the sleep talking had finished, and it sis for a couple of minutes, But we thought you were never going to wake up 'coma patient." I gritted my teeth at him him but he wasn't worried. Typical Emmett.
"You said that the sleep talking stopped for a few minutes."
"Yes, that's right." Emmett agreed.
"What happened to start it back up again?"
"Oh right. Well like I said we didn't know when you were going to wake up, so I took matters into my own hands," My eyebrows pulled down in confusion," Forcefully waking you up."
"Against my better judgement," Alice muttered.
"Hey," Emmett defended himself," She's okay. Nothing happened. Don't get all high and mighty on me."
Alice glared at him and huffed.
"Emmet,"Jasper warned.
Emmett just shook his head,"Anyway I shook your shoulders and said 'Bella' again. You answered back with a 'yes' again. I let go of your arms but held my hand up to your face. I'd seen people do the trick on TV so I tried it and what-do-you-know it worked!" He seemed pretty proud of himself.
"Emmett," Jasper shook his head," Those so called 'people' are magicians. It was just sheer luck that it worked for you."
Emmett rolled his eyes,"Whatever. I told you to wake up, I snapped my fingers and hey-presto she lives!"
After all the anger and embarrassment and a lifetime of blushing used only in ten minutes, I couldn't help but laugh. He knew how to make me smile.
Out of know where Jasper's watch beeped and it made me jump.
"um guy's, I don't want to put a damper on your spirits," he started," But we have to leave in little over than 20 minutes."
Right. I was still wearing my pajamas while the rest of them were in their designer labels.
"I'll get right onto that."
I hopped out of bed and sped to my wardrobe. As I pulled open the doors, Alice rushed over.
"Don't worry about those, I'll pick something for you," she pushed me towards the bathroom and went back to inspect my clothes,"Be quick."
I was just about to go in the bathroom when a loud bang came from the large french doors.
What the," Rosalie murmured.
"Hell?" Emmett finished.
I lightly crept up to the doors just to find one of the pot plants smashed up against the glass. Soil, dried-out clay and cement was splattered across our little outside patio. I opened the doors and was hit by the strong winds. My hair whipped around my face while I tried to tidy things up.
"Here, let me help," Rosalie came up and knelt beside me. We worked together and mamaged to clean the siol up.
"Bella, go get ready or you'll be late."
"You sure?"
She took the luminous crimson freesia (A/N picture on my profile) from my hand and ushed me away.
"Well this flower is awfullybright," she shielded her eyes dramatically,"And the wind is so strong and the air is so cold," she placed a hand across her chest,"But I think I'll be alright."
Her over-dramisised expression at the end sent me over the rdge and I cracked up laughing. So did Rosalie.
"Now get out of here," she pushed me inside.
"Okay, okay. I'm moving."
I closed he door on Rosalie and went back into the room.
"What was it Bella?" Emmett asked. He was looking for Rosalie over my shoulder.
"Just a pot plant that the wind tipped over. Rosalie got it for me so I could get ready."
He relaxed when I mention her name. It was amazing just how much they loved each other and to find the other person while they're so young. People around here are very lucky when it comes to love. Some people.
"Bella," Jasper called,"Time's slipping away and that shower isn't going to take itself."
Whoops. I had forgotten all about that.
"Oops. Right, sorry Jasper. I'm going now." And I ran towards the shower before anything else could distract me. It's to bad my mind can't seem to distract itself...
So how did it go? Do you understand that last line? Well if you didn't all will be revealed in the next chapter.
I put a picture of the freesia on my profile because I thought that some people might not know what it looks like :)
Last I hope you have a safe and happy Christmas ( + loads of presents) and enjoyable holidays.
Lots of love
XO.
