Poppies Will Make Her Sleep
Poppies had sprung up everywhere. In all of his time going to the meadow, he had never seen a single poppy. Daisies, orchids, chrysanthemums, daffodils, dandelions, and even he occasional rose grew rampant among the more green flora, but never a poppy.
That was why when Edward and Bella had showed up there that evening, he had been sort of stunned.
Bella had reveled in the new addition to the scenery and laid down amongst the red and black flowers. Deciding to relax, Edward had mimicked her position, closing his eyes to the world.
The sky was steadily getting darker. Black clouds floated eerily against the low hanging moon, concealing even the tiniest of stars.
Knowing that if he didn't want to possibly get hit by a harmless bullet, Edward knew that it was well past time that Bella was getting back to Charlie.
"Bella," He whispered, turning on his side so he could see her passive expression. "Honey, it's time to get up. I need to take you home."
She didn't stir, staying as still as a statue.
"Bella?" Edward tried again, taking her limp hand. "Wake up.
Still nothing.
Now he was beginning to panic.
"Bella? Bella, what's wrong? Get up, darling. You need to get up."
She didn't move an inch.
"You have to wait." A bell like voice said from beside him.
Glancing to his left, Edward noticed that Alice was on her knees, staring intently at her best friend.
"What do you mean?" Edward asked her, his mind easing slightly at the sight of his sister.
"You have to wait." Alice glanced skyward. "It won't be long now."
As soon as the words left her mouth, the clouds opened up and tiny white flakes began to fall around them.
"Snow?" Edward questioned, glaring at the small flakes. "I'm looking for help, and you give me snow?"
"Patience, Edward." Alice said, placing her hand on his arm. "Look," She nodded towards Bella.
The snow was accumulating in her hair and melting against her warm cheeks. Her eyelids began to flutter, giving Edward a glimmer of hope. Soon enough, she was stretching out like a cat, and staring up into his face.
"Hello, Edward." Bella smiled, noticing the pixie-like vampire with him. "Alice."
Without another word, Alice took her leave.
"Are you alright, Bella?" Edward asked, helping her to her feet.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, I was trying to wake you up and you wouldn't move."
"You said it yourself, I was asleep. I wouldn't hear you."
"Bella, I even tried shaking you."
She just stared blankly at him.
Opting not to push the matter, Edward threw her across his back.
"I'm taking you home before Charlie has a fit over how late it is."
Bella stayed quiet as she locked her legs around his waist. As they ran through the forest, she took one arm from around his neck and pulled a poppy out of her back pocket, letting it drop silently to the snow covered ground.
