Ahh! Thanks so much for reading everyone! Thank you for reviewing, they fire my inspiration! J
I tried to make sense out of Carlisle's words. Kill me in my dreams? But…
I was speechless. I looked over at Edward, his stony jaw set and his eyes were tight. His fists were curled tight, and if there had been anything in his hand, it probably would have been obliterated.
"How do we fix this?" Asked Edward, his words clipped.
"I'm not sure Edward" said Carlisle, glancing over at me. "We should move this to the other room" he whispered to Edward, and they were gone.
Tears streamed down from my eyes. We couldn't fix this. Humans need sleep, and you can't keep yourself from dreaming. As I thought over this, I came up with a theory. The vampire who was in my dreams must have to be nearby, or else he wouldn't know when I was sleeping. He would have to have eyes on me to know when to attack. I shook my head in utter defeat. I couldn't put the Cullens in danger to try and find him though. Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett were all abroad and wouldn't be back for a few days. Even if we called them now, the plane ride would take at least a day, and I couldn't stay up that long mostly because I was sick and exhausted. Edward entered the room again, rushing over to cradle me in his arms, and dry my tears. Carlisle followed close behind, sat down at the foot of the bed, and took my hand gently and waited until I looked at him.
"Bella, Edward and I made a plan…of sorts. We would like to try to get Edward into your dream to defend you. Every time you fall asleep, you are sleeping soundly for 2-3 minutes, then you are attacked. The first time, we were lucky to get to you before you were killed." Edward flinched at Carlisle's choice of words. "The second time Edward woke you up when he heard you screaming. So if Edward enters your dreams-"
"So when Edward enters your dreams" corrected Edward.
"Yes. When Edward enters your dreams, and he is fighting and if there is any chance that it may look like he will lose, scream. I will wake you."
"How will he get into my dreams though? He can't sleep" I said baffled.
"Yes, but he can read minds. Though he can't read yours…I would like for him to try to enter your dreams, but you have to allow him. It is challenging for a human to enter another human's dreams, but Edward entering your dreams is not as difficult because of heightened brain activity in Edward while yours decreases in the first stage of sleep. Is that alright?"
"Yes" I answered immediately. I needed to get the intruder out immediately. "But do you think the visitor in my dreams is nearby? Wouldn't he have to be able to know when I'm sleeping in order to attack?"
Carlisle shook his head.
"He doesn't have to be…" Carlisle began.
I guess I agreed. It wouldn't matter because he would be too busy attacking me in my dreams again to bother.
"Alright Bella, are you ready to try this? Carlisle will wake you up if you are in danger" Edward said stroking my hair.
"Let's do it." I stated, and I laid down on the bed.
"Think about me while you fall asleep, and when you wake up in the dream, darling" Edward said as he pulled up my blankets. He kissed me, and I quickly fell into a restless sleep, thinking of Edward. Hs beautiful features, the way his skin sparkles beautifully in the sunlight, and the way his lips felt against mine…
I opened my eyes to an empty room and immediately sat up and began to recite think of Edward. Solely Edward thoughts. I saw the visitor perched on the branch, the same smile plastered on his horrifying face. I closed my eyes to help myself concentrate. About thirty seconds later, I was snapped out of my trance when I heard the door creak open. I opened my eyes to the dark room and peered over at the door. It opened a bit farther and I realized that the visitor was no longer outside of the window. My heart sped up, and my breathing became rapid. I was becoming light headed when the door fully opened and a tall slim figure slipped in. I was about to scream when a hand clamped over my mouth.
Please review, the chapters come quicker and longer when I have inspiration :) xoxo
