*Bella's Dream*

Lightning cracked through the sky. Jacob and Edward were by my side and they looked strong. Their eyes were on the people walking into the meadow from the forest. They had long black cloaks on and you couldn't see their faces. Jake grabbed my hand and pulled me in close to him.

"I love you Bella and I want you to know that ok?" he was breathing hard and I could tell he was nervous. Every part of him was shaking. I couldn't tell if it was because he was scared or excited. I looked into his dark brown eyes and knew I couldn't leave him.

"I'm going with you," I knew he would fight me but I couldn't let him go, "and there's nothing you can do to stop me."

"What are you talking about Bella? You can't go out there and fight. Are you crazy? You'll be killed if you go out there." He looked into my eyes with a questioned look.

"Yes I am. I want this. I can't just sit in the tent and watch you get killed. You know what happened to me. If you died I wouldn't be able to go on anymore. I have had my heart ripped out once and I'm not about to let it happen again," I looked down at the ground then back at him, "If you die. I die." The words echoed through my head. If you die. I die. If you die. I die.

Someone shook my arm. I heard Alice say, "Come on Bella wake up, is 12 o' clock!" She shook me more. I opened my eyes and saw Alice smiling down at me. She reminds me of a fairy. Just her personality. Energetic and bubbly. She's always happy. I had never seen her in a bad mood until last night. It was unusual. She was mad. Not something you see every day out of her. I didn't want to think about what happened last night. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Morning Alice…oh jeez…I am so tired! How long was I asleep?" I stretched and my back popped. I groaned and rubbed my eyes again.

"Umm about 14 and a half hours. Well let's see you went to bed at ten thirty and woke up at—"I cut her off.

"Fourteen and a half hours?!" I realized that that was probably the longest I had ever slept in my life, "Oh my god Alice why didn't you wake me up earlier?" she was still sitting with her mouth open. She closed it and put up her finger. She blinked then put it down. She knitted her eyebrows and looked focused. Then she put her finger back up and said, "Well I don't really know. I kinda forgot you were here. I came in here to get ready to go hunting and saw you on the bed. That was at about nine fifteen or so. You looked so peaceful…I didn't want to wake you. So I just let you sleep. Sorry." She shrugged her shoulders then stood up straight. She looked at me then turned away. She was about to leave the room when she turned back and said, "Hey were about to go hunting…you wanna come?" I had never been asked that question before. Edward never offered it. Of course I wanted to go! I didn't want to sound over excited though. If I did she might change her mind.

"Sure," I said casually, "I'd love to go." I had never been with them hunting before because Edward said it was too dangerous. Whatever. I stood up and fixed my shirt. I looked around the room to find a phone. I saw her bedroom phone and walked over to it. I picked up the phone and waited for a dial tone. It finally came and I dialed Alice's cell phone number. I heard the ring downstairs. It stopped in the middle of the third ring.

"Hello?" her voice sounded like bells. Beautiful and high pitched. I felt embarrassed that I was one floor away from her and I called her just to ask her a question.

"Hey Alice it's Bella." I paused and almost laughed at myself.

"Um you know I'm right downstairs right?" she asked me sounding confused.

"I know it's just that I'm so tired and --- you know what forget that. Umm do you think I could borrow your hair brush…and some tooth paste…and an outfit…and I don't need shoes I have tho---" she cut me off.

"Ya Bells you can borrow whatever you need. Do you want me to pick out an outfit for you?" she sounded excited when she asked me that. Sadly, I had to reject her. I knew if she picked out my outfit I would end up looking like a fru-fru. I did not want that.

"No I think I can handle it but thanks anyways." I hung up the phone and walked over to her vast closet of clothes and other accessories. This might be harder than I think. I stepped in and flipped the light switch. All along the length of her huge wall was a walk in closet. How can one person have so much clothes? Well then again they had to last her a long time. I found a white shirt with flowy sleeves and a pair

jean shorts with holes in them. Slightly girlie, but not girlie to the extreme. I felt pretty. That normally doesn't happen. But it did now. It was always when I was wearing Alice's clothes. I walked out if the huge closet and stood in front of the mirror. I normally looked at myself in the mirror about once a day. I don't really care about my appearance all that much. For some reason today I did. I heard a knock on the door. It opened and there standing in the doorway was someone I did not expect to see.

"What are you doing here?! I thought you left! What are you doing back?" I stared at him for a while before he answered me.

"I live her Bella. This is my house I'm aloud to be here. Why? Is there something wrong with me being here?"Edward said. I wasn't trying to be rude when I said it, I was just surprised. He said it as rude as he could possibly make it. His expression changed from disgust to surprise.

"Wow." Edward said. His eyebrows rose when he said it. I looked up at him. He was staring at my outfit.

"What?" I asked. Oh jeez, I weren't going to do that all day.

"You look…" I looked at him. Was he gunna tell me how I look or just stand there staring. I tapped my foot and said, "I look what?" I had a feeling he was going to be rude because of what I did last night.

"Beautiful," he said, "Absolutely gorgeous." I was shocked. Did he really mean it or was he just saying that so we didn't start a fight. He moved in closer.

"When you and Jacob, ya know did what you did, did he kiss you or did you kiss him?" He looked down at me. His red eyes burned through mine. I turned my head to the side then looked back up at him.

"Are we really talking about this right now?" I asked him, "You know it's just gunna end in a fight." I told him.

"You didn't answer my question." He said, "Did he kiss you or did you kiss him?" I looked up at him and he blinked then cocked his head.

"Why does it matter? Let's just forget about it and move on." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He pushed me away and walked towards the door.

"Look Bella, I love you. But I don't think I can forgive you quite yet. I'm sorry." He walked into the hallway and closed the door behind him. I ran and grabbed the door handle just after he had closed it. I stood there and cried dry tears. What was wrong with me last night? Why did I choose to make that mistake? Then I thought about it again and how much I had enjoyed that kiss and the dry tears went away. I stood up straight, fixed my shirt then opened the door. I stepped out and closed Alice's bedroom door. I built myself up with confidence and walked down the hallway. I turned around the corner and stood at the top of the stairs. I heard gasps and Alice squealed.

"Bella! You look so cute! You did better than I would have done. And you're wearing shorts! Riskay…just kidding. You look so good. I am not even playing." Alice said with her bellish voice. She sounded really excited for some reason. I had worn shorts more than once. Well then again that was in the privacy of my own home. I started walking down the stairs when Rosalie came out of the kitchen. She gasped.

"Whoa. Did Alice give you another makeover?" she said with a smirk on her face. She cocked her head and looked at her nails.

"No. This one was all me." I said in a tone that could intimidate anyone but Rosalie. She stopped smiling and gave e a glare. I laughed and said, "You know Rosalie, I'm not afraid of you." She looked up at me, her eyes black, and said, "You know that's not a very smart thing to say to a person who can snap your spine like a toothpick." She smiled again. Edward walked into the room from the kitchen and stood next to Rosalie.

"What's going on?" he asked. I smiled at him. I looked down at Rosalie and said something I immediately regretted.

"Ya well according to Edward you guys aren't people, your monsters!" I screamed. Rosalie looked up at me.

"That's it!" she said. Edward grabbed her arms behind her. A growl ripped out of her mouth. Wait not her mouth. Some one else's and I knew exactly who it was. Jacobs's clothes tore off and then there in the middle of the Cullen's living room was a huge wolf. Why did Jake always have to get in the middle of things? Rosalie stepped back and Jake snarled. That was the first time since I had met the Cullen's that Rosalie looked intimidated. Edward stepped in front of Rose and growled. I walked up to the huge hairy wolf-thing and said, "What the heck are you doing here?! You're going to get yourself killed! Go home!" Jake looked up at me and whined. He gave me the puppy dog eyes. That wasn't gunna work on me this time. I pointed towards the door and looked at him. Then there was a ripping noise and a naked Jacob was standing in front of me. I heard a scream and looked around the room to find Emmet with his hands over his eyes.

"Gross!" Alice yelled as the turned around and buried her face in Jasper's chest. Edward looked like he was about to puke in his mouth. Rosalie didn't even look at him. She was still glaring at me.

"Jacob." I said as I looked down at the floor, "Will you do us all a favor and umm…GO PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" I practically screamed it at him. He looked down and then said, "Oh my God!" he turned and ran out of the house. I looked up at the Cullens. Alice turned to face me. Emmet cracked his fingers to the point where I could see a fraction of his blackish redish eyes.

"Is it safe?" he said. I laughed and said, "Yeah Emmet, he left." He put his hands down.

"Don't ever bring him here again." He said and looked at Edward. He turned his head to the ide and said, "Are you okay Edward?" Emmet walked up and shook him.

"I don't think I will ever be able to get that image out of my head." She shivered and walked back into the kitchen, releasing his grip on Rosalie. He immediately turned around to grab her but she was already on top of me with her cold, rock-hard hands around my fragile neck. She picked up my head and smashed my head into the wood floor multiple times.

"I'm not a monster! I'm not a monster! I'm not a monster!" she screamed at me. She picked me up and threw me. I hit the wall and a agonizing pain shot threw my back. A blood curtailing scream tore up my chest and out my mouth. Then there was blackness. I could hear voices though.

"Bella!" Alice screamed. Then complete and udder silence. Nothing. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't feel anything. Just blackness. That was all.

I woke up to a bright light in my eyes. I blinked and regained consciousness.

"Carlisle! She's awake!" Alice yelled to the room next door. She walked over to me and grabbed my hand. I had an IV in it and she felt normal. She wasn't cold. What had happened? I felt her hand shaking. I looked up to find her crying dry tears.

"Bella." She whispered. She lifted me up and hugged me. I started crying. She set me back down with my head on the pillow. She looked down at me and said, "When Rosalie…threw you…and you screamed. I thought you were gone. I had never felt so much pain in my life. And it wasn't physical pain. It was emotional. It was so bad, Jasper couldn't help me. I thought that was how I would last see you. You bent and curled in a ball like that. Your scream was all I could hear. For hours all I could see in my head was you hitting the wall." She looked away then looked back at me. Her eyes were golden. That told me they had gone hunting while I was out.

"How long have I been unconscious?" I asked her. My voice was raspy and the throat hurt really bad. She looked down at me.

"About two days. I missed you. Carlisle was afraid you weren't going to make it." She looked like she was about to cry again. Well she couldn't actually cry but whatever.

"Where's Rosalie?" I asked. Not that really cared. She was the reason I was like this anyways.

"Um she's not here, I will tell you that." She looked sad. I was confused.

"Where is she then?" I wanted to know now. Did Carlisle kick her out? Did they go hunting and she never came back? Where was she?

"Um she flew to Italy." She was looking out the window now.

"What?! W-Why?" I asked. This was so confusing. It didn't make sense at all.

"She umm…she joined the Volturi." She said.

"What?!" I flew up and grabbed her face, "Why?!" she looked at me. Her eyes grew huge. She took a step back and her back was up against the wall. She looked at me and let out a scream.
