Chapter 4 Chapter 4

Edward's POV

After draining another mountain lion, I find myself running towards Bella's house.

Why I'm going there, I don't know why, but ever since what happened in the hospital her asking me not to leave her side really had me worried. Alice couldn't really see into Bella's future unless I was there, which didn't ease my worries.

I peer into her bedroom window and find her bed empty.

Sliding open the window, I let myself in.

Bella's scent is coming from the closet.

I open the door, cringing as it creaks.

There she is, sleeping peacefully, her mahogany hair fanned out on her pillow. She is sleeping on top of a sleeping bag, and is covered with a thin sheet.

Does she always sleep in here?

Why didn't she sleep in her bed?

I was aboutt to close the door and retreat, when she mumbles, "Edward."

My eyes focus on her more closely, but sure enough her eyes were tightly closed. So she talks in her sleep. Wow. And she's talking about me.

"Edward, stay," she mumbles and rolls over on her stomach.

" Don't leave... they'll come back" she says.

Who ever she was talking about I will make sure I'll protect her from anyone and if me being here helps i will.

I sat on her rocking chair, and listen to her mumbling my name a few times until the sun started to rise, hidden mostly behind clouds.

After closing her closet door quietly I leave.

This isn't over, I will found out what has her for frighten.
