Sorry that I haven't written in awhile because I've been so busy trying to prepare for semester exams, which are next week...yeah harsh I know.
EPOV
I played with the light chocolate brown hair as she laid silent, smiling every time that she murmured in her sleep. She had been talking in her sleep ever since she had started living with us. I frowned as she seemed to become restless, I wondered what she was dreaming.
BPOV
(Dream Sequence)
"Mommy hurry up" said the four year old version of Bella, smiling as she pulled on her mom's skirt. Her mom laughed and grabbed her. She twirled Bella around in circles, finally setting her on the table.
"Oh my little Bella, you were born with your father's patience"the woman laughed as she packed the sandwiches. Bella looked around slightly confused at the statement, but watched her mom intentionally.
"BELLA RUNNNNN" the woman screamed as the scene around her changed into a strange forest.
"Mommy" Bella screamed.
(End dream)
EPOV
I watched her, panicked, as she sat up right, breathing hard and looked around. I quickly rubbed her arm and she looked at me. She seemed, so confused, yet as if she knew what she was doing as she wrapped her warm arms around me, burying her head on my chest.
"Oh my Bella, what's wrong"I murmured rubbing her back as she seemed to calm down.
"It's nothing, just... a dream about Jake"she paused between words. I couldn't tell if she was lying. I froze though as the sentence ended. If only I had been with her, I had been watching her through the key hole. This was my fault.
I lifted her head up and wrapped her face in my hands, the warmth from her skin was nearly unbearable, but yet soothing.
"Bella, no matter how long it takes, no matter how agonizing it is. I will try to make this...easier on you"I said, struggling to find the correct wording. I didn't want to tell her that I wanted to kill him, but I did.
"Edward please...lets just get ready for school"she mumbled, her eyes slightly closed. I laughed as she searched my face and found my lips with her hands. I quickly wrapped my arms around her and embraced her as our lips touched. I could get use to this every day.
BPOV
I slowly tried to keep myself awake as Biology class started to come to a close. Hearing a laugh behind me I turned my head and faced Edward, it wouldn't be so easy for him if he needed sleep.
"Don't mock me"I joked as I lifted my head up as the bell rang. He rolled his eyes and we gathered our books together. We slowly walked to the school's parking lot and watched as the rest of our family got into Rose's car. But Edward and I got into his silver Volvo. Watching everyone it made me feel slightly guilty, I had finally started breaking out of my "shell" and had been making a few friends. But now that graduation was only three months away, I would have to leave them all behind.
"Edward you...haven't forgotten yet have you" I whispered, slightly worried about what he would say. Surprisingly though, he looked very comfortable talking about the matter.
"Actually it's been all I can think about"he said smiling,"Bella, you've got to realize that even though this goes against my better judgment I'm a very...selfish creature so I intend to keep you close to me in anyway possible"he whispered as we parked at the house. I was having to remind myself to breathe as he smiled that crooked smile that he knew was my favorite. I blushed slightly as he laughed, running his cold hand against my face. His hand felt like a stone that had been sanded, or something, until it was as smooth as possible, I stayed in that position frozen of course as he laughed and got out of the car.
"Come on my Bella" he said getting me out of the car and we walked into the house. We looked around at everyone else as they were either finishing the homework or just watching the TV.
"Bella we need to hunt tonight, can you handle being by yourself for awhile"Carlisle asked as he looked up from hospital records.
"Of course, I was just wanting to watch some shows and go to bed early anyways"I said as Edward came up behind me. Soon we were in my room. I was trying to figure out what happened as he leaned on the door, his lips pursed together.
"What was that all about"I asked standing up. He shrugged and came over to me.
"Bella I don't know if...if I can handle leaving you alone", I froze he was probably thinking about the same thing I was. The fact that my accident had started by them leaving me.
"Edward you need to go and I'll be fine I swear I won't even leave the living room if that makes you feel better" I said tracing the dark shadows under his eyes, he seemed to sigh in relief.
"Strangely that would make me feel much better" he whispered as we dug out our homework, my grades were fair. Not that it would matter in a few months, but who else would know that? Soon we were down stairs gathering together as they prepared to leave. I would never tell Edward that I hated when they left, that it always brought back small nightmares. I knew that if I did that he probably would never let me out of his sight again.
As they walked out the door Edward and I stopped at the door way staring at each other.
"Be safe" he whispered and hugged me as I laughed.
"You're only going to be gone for a little while"I said and watched as they left closing the door behind me.
My homework was done in no time and I had planted myself in front of the TV. This was turning out to be a very boring day so I decided to walk around the house. It was unlike me to go snooping through everything but I had been here nearly all my life yet I realized that there were some places that I had never seen in this house.
Walking around Carlisle's room was very fascinating actually, he had many interesting artifacts you could say. But, nothing had freaked me out until I saw a draw in his desk that was labeled.
Isabella Swan
I had always known that my real name was Isabella, but Swan was definitely something different. Opening the draw I looked around the small enclosed box to find nothing but a small locket, so I quickly grabbed it. I sat in Carlisle's chair looking at the necklace with fascination. It felt like I knew this necklace that I had seen it before and it felt comfortable in my hand.
The necklace was a fragile-looking gold chain holding a heart locket that seemed to be still slightly open. Cursing myself for my short finger nails, I carefully opened the locket and it had two sides that together were a simple message.
Isabella Marie Swan
We love you so much
I tried to hold back the tears as I walked downstairs, finally putting two and two together and realizing that this must have been a necklace my real parents had gotten me. After sitting on the couch I figured out how to put it on and slipped it around my neck. It felt like it belonged there, like it had been waiting to be there. I slowly fell asleep and fell into that same dream.
"Mommy hurry up" said the four year old version of Bella, smiling as she pulled on her mom's skirt. Her mom laughed and grabbed her. She twirled Bella around in circles, finally setting her on the table.
"Oh my little Bella, you were born with your father's patience"the woman laughed as she packed the sandwiches. Bella looked around slightly confused at the statement, but watched her mom intentionally. Soon her father came downstairs and scooped Bella up from her chair, twirling her around as her mom got the picnic ready they walked out the door with Bella squealing in delight. The real Bella seemed to be with them, following them.
The three of them got to a meadow and began their lunch it was quite enjoyable as they laughed and talked. The real Bella behind them sat down next to her four year old self, her eyes brimming with tears. But then everything changed.
It began to rain but the four year old Bella was laughing and running in the rain as her parents laughed and chased after her. Until they came upon two men. They were gorgeous and smiling with what seemed to be slightly evil.
"Hello" the first man said smiling at Bella's mother. The real Bella was standing their watching the whole dream that had began to become a nightmare. But that secret seemed to come out of hiding. As Bella's mother told her to go back to the blanket one of the men lunged at her mother grabbing her and taking her to the ground.
"No Stop" The real Bella cried, she couldn't believe she was watching this, her parent's deaths. The four year old Bella screamed and started running as her dad scooped her up and they both ran. But the other man jumped right in front of them and smiled as Bella's father tried to punch him. He tossed four year old Bella aside and she grabbed the blanket and hid. As the real Bella ran over to her four year old self she froze as she heard the last few screams of her parents lives. Then she woke up.
"Bella...Bella wake up" I heard as sat up, tears were running down my face as I shoved myself onto Edward's chest.
"I watched them Edward...I watched them die" I cried as the rest of my family stood there shocked.
