1I walked in the service door of the hospital. Sending out a block so the humans wouldn't even know I was there. No need to answer any questions, just checking on the girl then I'm back out. In the middle of the night it is pretty quiet around here. I've ambled these halls before, checking on things, and sometimes just out of boredom. I walked to the reception area, since it's not monitored at night I could do a search on their computer there. Here it was, female, 17 years, brought in through emergency this morning with concussion, 3rd floor, room 369. Had to be her, not like there was much happening in this small town.

I slowly opened the door to room 369 carefully blocking so I didn't wake her. She was laying there asleep and I eased over to her bedside to get a closer look. Yes this was the face from this morning. She looked so pale, so innocent and fragile. Let's take a look at her chart. Ok it says she is just held overnight for observation. They gave her something to help her sleep. Good, she would need her rest after the near collision. She had a small wisp of hair that had fallen in her eyes, I carefully reached over and brushed it lightly back out of her face. She began to stir, I sent the block again, that should do it. Her eyes opened softly and she looked straight at me. Wait! This wasn't right! Our blocks always worked. How in hell did she wake up? I stood there in partial panic and looked at her with what I'm sure was a strange look on my face. She gave me a slow smile and simple said, "Oh it's you."

I gave her a smile and whispered softly so I wouldn't hurt her head, "I'm just a figment of your imagination."

"No, my imagination couldn't have stopped that van this morning. I'm glad you came, I wanted to thank you."

Her voice, my God it went through me like a thousand butterflies released into my veins. I felt tingles all over my body. What in the world was going on? She raised her hand off the bed to me, and I took it gently in mine. She was so warm, so tender and then ... I SAW IT! I SAW myself holding her against me. We were cuddled together as if I were enveloping her with my body to protect her. We both were feeling fear and I was on high alert mode. I was in complete protection stance. Whatever or whoever we were both staring at had us cornered. I was trying to look for clues of some kind to help me figure out what was going on, but when I blinked it was gone. I stared down at her and her face was one of terror and shock. Oh my God she SAW it too! It was so distinct in my head. She jerked her hand away from mine and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"How did you do that!?!" She asked

"I don't know. Honestly nothing like this has ever happened before. Normally the only people I can communicate with psychically is my brothers. Until today."

"Psychically? You mean you're a psychic, like Medium and stuff? Oh my God am I dying?" Her tears continued.

"NO NO nothing like that I promise." I was brushing my hand softly across her head to calm her. "I'm not that type of psychic. I am able to read my brothers thoughts and talk to them with my own thoughts. That's all. You are going to be just fine. I promise you. It's just a concussion." I continued to stroke her hair gently, it seemed to be calming her a bit.

"Who, who are you? What did you mean normally you can only talk to your brothers, that picture in my head, that was psychic talk? Why are you here in the middle of the night?" She pulled her blanket up high to her chin and pulled away from my hand.

I couldn't blame her for being nervous. And I wasn't even sure if I sent a calming wave it would do anything. But I had to try, I couldn't stand to see her so upset. I concentrated and sent out a calming wave towards her in hopes it would work. She looked up at me and I could see the tension begin to ease. I asked her if I could sit down and we could talk. She nodded.

"Ok first things first, my name is Edward, Edward I saw yours already on your chart. You are Isabella Swan." I held my hand out slowly, "nice to meet you". She took it carefully, like she was afraid to see something else. I smiled at her in reassurance when nothing happened. "See, it's alright."

"Bella" she whispered. "Just Bella. My grandmother was Isabella."

I sat there holding her hand and had the most bizarre feelings crossing my mind. Strange and unprecedented thoughts of her with me. It was like we were meant to meet. This was stupid, me of all people having idiotic thoughts of destiny and predetermination. And with a human of all things! I just shook my head and continued talking to her. She asked me how I was able to get to her so fast this morning and where I came from. I tried to tell her I was passing by and was at the back of her truck. Then she said there was no way humanly possible to stop that van and I wasn't sure what to tell her. I tried to pull the adrenaline card but she wasn't falling for that either.

I knew there was no way I could explain my whole situation to this innocent human. I chose instead to tell her of some of my powers, putting them off to the same thing that allowed me my psychic skills. The whole time I was trying to take control of her mind and make her believe me and not need more explanation. For some reason this actually seemed to be working, unlike the block I had tried earlier. We talked a while and I learned a bit about her. She was the only daughter of the Chief of Police, and her mother recently moved to Florida with her new step father.

I sat with her until dawn began to peek through the windows. I told her I had to go before someone walked in and began to question me about being there. She asked if she would ever see me again and I said I really didn't know. When I started to turn to leave she pulled my hand to her and hugged it softly against her cheek then kissed it. "Thank you, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, Edward. I will always consider you my Guardian Angel."

"No Bella, I'm far from an Angel, and you are most welcome."

I left her room swiftly and returned to my home. I was sitting in an armchair by the window with my head in my hands wondering what the hell had just happened when my doorbell rang and made me jump. I opened the door and saw my brothers standing there with worried looks on their faces. Oh crap don't tell me they had seen it too!

Emmet grabbed me in a big hug before I could even say hello. "Are you ok man? We felt it again right after you told us it was an accident. Have you done a complete area scan? Do you have any idea what's sending you those surges?"

"Um, hi Emmet, you can release me now. And yes I've done an area search to no avail. I have more to tell you too, but wouldn't it be more appropriate for you two to come inside and we can discuss it someplace other than my open doorway?"

"I suppose" he said, walking past me and sitting down in my den. Jasper came next and reached out to shake my hand as he entered. "We sure were worried about you brother."

"Thanks" I was wondering how to go about catching my siblings up on what all had happened. I really didn't know where to start. I took a deep breath and just started with when I went by the school for the early check. I went on to where I was in the woods and got the first surge. That's the first one they actually felt as well. As I described the feeling that went through me and the sound I could hear so clearly of a female screaming, they looked at each other and then at me. I could tell they were more concerned now. I went on to explain the almost incident and how I dissipated as we always did. They nodded in understanding. Then I told them how it happened again as I sat on the roof watching and that's when they felt it again and contacted me. Emmet was standing by now and began to pace the floor. Jasper was sitting on the edge of his seat with his chin in his hands in deep concentration.

"That's not all," I said quietly. I didn't have to wait long before I saw their reactions. Emmet crossed the room in a millisecond, Jasper was on his feet and almost bouncing on his heels. "What happened!" They said in unison. "Calm down boys. I will explain and it's not a bad thing at least I don't think so." They sat down and stared at me in expectance. "Okay, here is what happened. I was worried about the girl, so I went to the hospital to check on her. You both know we have done this hundreds of times over the years, and always the same M.O. I went in the back door, threw out a block, found her room, went in, read her chart, then as I reached down to move her hair out of her face, she stirred, and I put up another block but it didn't work, she woke up and stared at me."

"What?!" They both shouted again in unison. I just sat calmly until they settled down. "Look it surprised me too, but that's not even the most peculiar part. I stood there and she looked up at me and said she was glad I came by so she could thank me. Then as I took her outstretched hand in mine I had a "vision". I saw the two of us, me and this girl I have never met before. We were curled up in a dark area somewhere I don't recognize and I was in high alert state. We were both afraid and I was trying my best to protect her with my body. Then it completely disappeared. When I looked down at her extremely confused about what had just happened, she had a look of pure terror on her little face, and I could tell she had seen the same thing! She was crying and asking what I had done, and how I had done it, I wasn't even sure how to answer this girl." I knew I was blurting this all out fast and that it was taking time to soak into my brothers just exactly what I had just told them.

They both began to talk at once and it was hard to decipher their questions from each other. "What the hell? Did she tell you she was psychic? Was it different than the way we talk? When you say vision, do you mean like it was going to happen or just that it might happen? I can't believe the block you sent didn't work! How old is this girl? Do you know her name and where does she live, so we can check on her? Did you see or hear anything in your vision to tell us what you were protecting her from?" I was trying to keep them straight so I could halfway answer them.

"No she has no idea what it was she saw, she's never had anything happen like that before. It was a lot different, when we talk I hear your voice in my head, what I saw was just like a movie shown in slow motion. I don't know if it is going to happen or if it was some sort of warning. The blocks worked on the others there in the hospital, just not her. She is 17 and her name is Bella Swan, she is daughter of the police chief. Yes I know where they live and fully intend on keeping a check on her but without her knowing anything about it. No I heard no sounds as I saw the vision, none at all, but I felt the fear and the overwhelming need to keep her safe. Did I cover them all, for now anyway?" I smiled as I sat back in my chair and tried to reaffirm to my brothers that I was alright.

BPOV

I laid there in the hospital bed wondering if I had completely gone out of my mind. Was my imagination that good? Had I sat here talking for hours to an imaginary man who claimed to have supernatural powers? I took a deep breath to calm myself and realized, well if he was imaginary, then he was the best damned smelling imaginary friend I had ever had. I could still hear his voice in my mind, so soothing and strong. My God Bella you have goosebumps just thinking about him. Could this day have been any more strange?
