Chapter 7: Another Dream
Sleep came slowly but it was interrupted regularly by the storm that was roaring on the mountain. I slept and dreamed…
The forest around me was different. It was lighter, somewhat happier.
As I looked around, I was shocked to hear birds singing. I began walking cautiously
It was so different to the other dreams. I noticed that along with the sudden appearance of the birds there was the disappearance of Edward.
It was unusual for Edward not to be there. I felt slightly panicky. Maybe I was to late. Maybe Edward was dead already. But then I remembered what Carlisle said that this place was a mental connection between me and Edward.
I screamed suddenly as I felt cool soft arms wrap around my body. A cool hand covered my mouth to stop my scream.
'Whoa, Bella. Calm down. It's me,' My angel whispered. His immortality was fading. His skin was warmer now and his skin was soft...like mine.
I stopped screaming and turned, 'My god, Edward, you scared the hell out of me. I thought you were the Creature,' I whispered back. My heart was pounding heavily in my chest.
'The Creature?' Edward asked, a frown wrinkling his perfect brow, 'Bella…what are you talking about?'
'Edward…the Creature. He captured you. I'm trying to find you,' I gasped, why didn't he know?
'What do you mean Bella? I'm right here with you,' Edward looked confused, as if questioning my sanity.
'No Edward. This is a dream world,' I whispered urgently, 'This place isn't real'.
Edward shook his head slowly, 'That can't be true. It feels so real'.
I nodded, 'That's how it always is Edward. It always feels real'. I reached up and stroked his face with my finger tips. But I pulled away as soon as my fingers touched his cheek. His face was warm.
Tears welled in my eyes, 'Oh Edward. You're almost mortal now. How much longer do we have? How much longer do you have?'
'What do you mean mortal?' Edward asked as he stroked my face. He looked into my eyes. His were a green-gold.
'What is wrong with you? Why can't you remember?' I cried. I felt like slapping him and telling him to snap out of it.
'I don't know. All I know is that you the love of my life. I don't know how I met you. I don't know where I live. I just....don't remember,' Edward whispered hoarsely.
'Edward...' I sighed sadly, 'I will find you…and you will remember. I love you'.
I turned away from him but then remembered I didn't know how to leave this dream world.
'Bella…where is Carlisle?' Edward asked.
I spun to face him, 'What?'
'My father…Carlisle…where is he?' Edward step toward me.
'H-h-h-he can't access this dream world. Only you and I,' I stammered. Maybe he does remember.
'Oh…and what about Esme?' Edward reminded me of a hopeful child.
'No Edward. Just you and me,' I emphasised the "you and me" part.
'Oh,' Edward whispered. He nodded, 'Help me remember Bella'.
'I will…when I find you,' I promised. I had a sudden thought of how to get of the dream world. Since I talked in my sleep, I might be able to say something to alert Jake to wake me up.
I turned away from Edward and looked at the sky.
'Jake?' I called loudly, 'If I'm talking in my sleep right now, then wake me up. I'm in the dream world with Edward'.
'Jake?' I heard Edward whispered, 'Not Jacob Black?'
I turned to face Edward, Yes…Jacob Black'.
I sighed at Edwards's angry face and called for Jake again. I felt a warm hand on my arm and I closed my eyes.
'Bella?' I heard Jake whisper.
I sighed and opened my eyes to Jake's dark warm ones.
'Hey Jake,' I smiled.
'You alright, Bells?' He asked, 'You were talking hell weird in your sleep'.
'Yeah I know,' I sighed and looked around the tent. I heard the occasional snores and stirring of the pack around the tent.
'What? You know,' Jake sat up and almost hit his head.
'Yes. I was trying something. I was with Edward again. He is losing all his memories of immortal life. And he is losing his immortality too. He is almost mortal. The Creature has almost destroyed him,' I whispered, 'So I remembered I talked in my sleep so I called to you'.
Jake raised his eyebrows then shrugged, 'Okay'. He reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out his watch, '5.30 in the morning'.
I groaned and pulled the sleeping bag over my head, 'Ugh…I don't care Jake'.
Jake sighed and crawled from the warmth of his sleeping bag and pulled on a t-shirt, 'Come on. If we plan to reach the temple by nightfall, we'd better go now,' he reached over and unzipped my sleeping bag.
I fell out onto the cold floor with a loud yelp, 'Don't do that!' I cried.
'Here,' Jake threw a heavy parka at me, 'It's cold outside'.
I pulled the parka over my thick jacket, happy for the extra layer for warmth. As I began packing my stuff, I heard Jake kicking the pack awake. There was quite a few angry growls and groans. The tent shuddered as the pack began to rise. I climbed out as quickly as I could to avoid being crushed by a possible falling tent.
We packed up camp as soon as we could so we could get to the temple before nightfall.
Oohhh. Will Bella reach Edward in time. Or will his Immortality be gone forever? Find out in the upcoming Chapter 8.
