Here is another chapter, for my lovely readers.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Neither Edward. Neither Alice. Neither Emmet. Neither Bella...
You get my point! :)
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

IMAGINE
20 November 2003
I was standing in an open space in a forest. It was so beuatiful it took my breath away. The meadow might be small and round but it was filled with the most gorgeous midflowers- violet, yellow and soft white. Somewhere behind, I could hear the faint sound of bubbling music of a stream. I raised my head toward the beautiful summer sky. The sky was clear from the clouds, and it was in a light blue, that was accompanied by the sun. I closed my eyes as the wind whipped my hair around softly. I took in deep breaths.
"Bella." a soft velvet voice said. My eyes snapped open and my body slowly turned toward the voice. I stared in surprise and pleasure as Edward was right behind me, his crooked smile on his beuatiful face. His perfect features, and piercing green eyes made my heart beat like the chirpings of a birds wings. But what was he doing here? Where were we? Isn't he supposed to be...?
"Edward? Where are we? What are you doing here?" I pleaded but Edward just smiled sadly. He gestured to his right and there was my family. Charlie, Carlsile, Esme, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, stood by the trees, all crying. Esme was leaning against Carlisles chest. Charlie had his arms around Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper. Their heads were bowed, and tears were pouring down all their faces. Even the tough, grizzly bear Emmett. I tore my gaze away from them and stared at Edward.
"Why are they crying? Can't they see that you aren't dead?" as I said this Edwards smile turned sour and he gestured to his left. It was my mother. Her caramel hair was down to her waist and she was in a white floral dress. It came down to her ankles and she smiled at me encouracingly. She gestured me to walk towards her but when I took at leat two steps I felt a strong hand around my wrist. Edward was shaking his head and tears were in his eyes.
"Edward its my mother." I explained softly but no words came out of his mouth. Except he looked over his shoulder to my family. When I followed his gaze, they were all shaking their heads too. I frowned. What were they trying to tell me? As I looked at my family again, they too were dressed in white. Carlisle, Charlie, Emmett and Jasper, wore similar white trousers with white shirt. The women: Esme, in her white long silk dress that hung lose around her body, looked like a star in the 60's. Rosalie, on the other hand, wore a one shoulder dress that came down to her knees, and Alice was in a long white dress that had a bow on the front. I noticed that everyone was dressed in white, even Edward. He was in a soft white satin trousers, with white shirt and a beige vest. I looked at myself. I was in a black beuatiful romantic detailed one-strapless dress , that had courset underlining; looked much like the gowns worn by celebrities on the red carpet, with rustling taffeta and a bustle that wasn't overdone. The gown came flowing down to my ankles, like a wedding dress. My hair was let down into soft natural curls. I was now totally confused? Why was I in a black dress and everyone in whites? I looked up into Edwards eyes, and he was smiling again. He took my hand, pressing his soft lips to kiss my knuckles. I bushed.
"You look so beautiful." he said his voice as a matter of fact. I glanced around me again, and saw my mother walking towards us. With the corner of my eye, I saw Edward follow my gaze. He pulled me behind his body, so he was standing infront of me, in a defensive mode. I stared at him in confusion and disbelief.
"Edward its okay. She's my mother. She won't hurt me." I said wanting to pull away from him, but some part of my concience agreed with him. I did feel as if I was in danger, and I felt safer with Edward protecting me. As if he heard my thought he turned and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I closed my eyes, and I didn't want to wake up, and face the reality that this was a dream. His gentle arms wrapped perfectly around my shoulders. It felt as if we fit to an unknown puzzle. He leaned back to see my face;cupping my cheeks.
"You will always be safe with me." he whispered and with that he vanished with the cold blow of air, like sand on a desert. Tears filled my eyes, and I looked at my mother, she too was slowly turning into nothing but air. When I blinked she was gone. I turned around to see that my family was still there, but they were turning around to walk back to the forest. I ran as fast as I could, with my dress dancing with the wind. When I was close enough to reach them, I tripped over my dress and fell on my hands. I looked up and no one was in sight. They were gone. I curled up into a ball and cried.
The sky got darker, with grey clouds covering the sky, getting ready to rain. I slowly stood up, as drops of rain fell to my hair and bare shoulders. After seconds, the rain was pouring from the sky like cats and dogs. I was shiverering as my dress and hair was soaking wet. My teeth were shuttering as my hands and feet went cold as ice. I wrapped my hands around my arms, and looked around. It was total darkness. In this rain, while soaking wet, I was afraid to move, even though I knew I had to. It wasn't safe, but it felt as if I had to wait for something more. It felt as if my time to go, wasn't up yet.
"Mother?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I searched every shadow for something. Someone. Anything. But I knew there was no use, she was gone and wouldn't come back.
"Dad? Anybody?" I shouted toward the forest. I was alone and I was afraid. I was now too numb to think, as the cold wrapped around my heart. My breathing became fast and my throat hurt everytime I tried to breath. I fell down again, not having any energy to stand up, as the ice cold air whipped around me. I was shaking frantically. I was going to die...
"Please, help me Edward." I whispered and all of a sudden the rain stopped revealing the sun. I blinked as the sky was filled with a bright rainbow that shot across the sky. The hot sun burned against my wet skin, making me feel a little warmer. What just happened? As I said Edwards name, the rain vanished and the sun came up? I was in shock but also in relief. In shock, because what happened could not be explained. And relief, because I was saved from freezing to death. I started to stand up slowly, my dress and hair soaking wet- the hair on the back of my neck stood up. This happened when someone was watching me. I straightened myself, and looked around, to see him.
"Edward!" I gasped and started to run toward him. I wanted to get into his strong embrace and bury face at the crook of his neck. Smell him, and feel his touch, as he would rub my back. I ran hard against his body, and I giggled as he picked me up from my waist and spun me around. I ran my fingers through his tousled copper hair, and placed my other hand tightly around his neck. He put me down, and smiled, as his face was inches away from mine.
"I missed you." I said, smiling. His green eyes shone with happiness. I knew this was a dream, but I didn't care. Edward was the wall that I would lean against when I was weak. He was the sun, that warmed me up inside when I was cold. Having his arms wrapped around my waist made me forget of what happened. All my fears and pain vanished, and my heart was furious: beating fast and hard against my chest.
"Don't think that you'll get rid of me that soon." he laughed. It was the most perfect and beautiful sound I've ever heard. For others Edwards appearance and his popularity was what was thought to be gained when they thought they were going out with him. But the truth was Edward was more than that. There was always two sides to people, and I liked both sides of Edward. The inside was warm, caring, passionate, modest, unselfish but even though the outside was cold and heartless, I loved them both and admired them very much. He was too perfect for some people, but he was just perfect for me.
"Wasn't planning on it." I answered and saw a crooked smile, appear on his face. I had to look away to hide the blush that was threatining to rise to my cheeks. I again realised that our faces were inches away from each other, and I unwrapped myself from him, but also kept close.
"Are you okay?" I asked wanting to know if he was in pain or anything. I mean the kid, did go up into flames...
"You just hit your head, got stiched up, and you're asking me if I'm okay?" he chuckled again, and I smiled. I missed his laugh. I t was the perfect sound of my world...
"I'm glad I amuse you. And how do you know about my head?" I asked frowning. He lifted my chin up with his finger, and I stared at his eyes. I was mesmerised once I locked my eyes with his.
"I can see everything."
"Now you're a full time stalker." I laughed, but was cut off of how serious Edward looked. His eyes were locked into mine, and I didn't see any humour run through them.
"I can see you hurting. I can see you trying to be strong, and close inside your shell, Bella. But don't." Edward said in a soft voice, his eyes never leaving mine. He knew me so well, that when I lost him was like I had lost sense of who I was. Tears were urging to fill my eyes but I fought hard to keep them away.
"Edward-"
"You don't have to." Edward cut me off. I nodded in defeat and buried my face in his chest. This one time, I let the tears pour down my cheeks in front of someone. I promised myself that I would never cry again infront of anyone. Ever again. Edward held me up against his chest, and started rubbing my back with his hands. Slowly, I saw the tears dry out, and I leaned back to look at his shirt. It was wet, but Edwards smile showed he didn't care. I smiled and tried to think of something to say to ease the tension.
"So, since when did you turn out to be so sensitive? I thought that was just Jasper." I teased lightly.
"Ha, ha, real funny!" he said, trying to hold back a smile. He never could keep a straight face, and I cupped his face in my hands, and kissd his soft cheeks. They turned bright pink, making me laugh, at his adorable innocent face. After my laugh faded, we both stared at each other. My eyes fell down to his perfect lips. Our heads moved towards each other like magnets, but before our lips even met, he jerked back. Pain crosssed his face, and somehow it looked as if kissing me would harm me.
"I have to go." was all he said before untangling himself from me, and walking away. He walked toward the forest, but I was afraid to follow. I didn't wan't to lose Edward but he walked so fast, he was out of the clearing in seconds.I felt the urge to scream his name, as if he would come back like before. But even though I knew it was no use, I tried.
"EDWARD!" I screamed toward where he left off. I screamed his name out again, but he was no where to be seen. I put both of my hands over my heart and closed my eyes. I let a little prayer, and asked for a promise from Edward.
"Please, don't leave me." I whispered into the soft summer air, and opened my eyes to see that I was falling into a deep black hole.
So end of another chapter, meaning that all week I will be dying to see if people commented. :)
Oh and from now on if you guys are unsure about anything, let me know.
And as unlucky as I am, I lost at least two chapters of my work, for some odd reason with my computer *crying my eyes out* . Those chapters were based on Emmett and Rosalie's past lives. :( But no worries since I don't mind writing all over again, but I sure do need your support. And Edwards. He he!
Please read and review. It does really make me happy. :D
