CHAPTER SEVEN

~A Dream and A Fight~

-1-

The boy smiled to me and fell down on the grass. I sat down next to him and he swept his hands around me. He was cold, but I only got warm by his touch. His eyes looked right through me, like he knew everything about me. I stepped forward, leaning closer to him and let my lips lightly touch his. My hands went up in his golden hair and I crushed myself against his cold muscular body. I gripped his arm, and he pulled away as I needed air - but his lips didn't leave my skin this whole time. We both breathed big heavy breaths. His lips travelled down to my throat. I pulled him, with help from himself, up to kiss me again and so he did. Then we broke apart again just so I could hear the low whisper - I didn't know if it came from him or me but as the words were out, we both felt complete.

"I love you"

----------------------------------------------------

I woke up slowly. A shiny white velvet cover was lying over me, I pushed it away and sat up. As soon as I saw Jasper who sat next to the bed in a white armchair staring at me I jumped slightly. "You know it's scary when you do like that? Just sits and stares at me..."

He ignored me. "You slept well?" he wondered - he looked curious. "It sounded like you had a nice dream."

I stared at him, blushing deeply. "Um, I-I... I can't remember." It must be everything going on that is messing with my mind - nothing else, I quickly decided. How could it be anything else? I didn't know him, I had bearly known him for a day. "How did you know anyway?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Just like any human - you talk in your sleep. Now please tell me about it!" he begged, I really couldn't lie to him. He groaned when I did nothing. "Come on - it couldn't have been such a bad dream... please?!" His begging made it hard for me not to, but telling him would kill me. Well... it would embarrass me. I would never be able to look him in the face again - that was for sure. "Were you dreaming about me?" he then asked but I kept my pokerface.

He shook his head and sighed when he saw my determined face and understood that I wouldn't tell him.

"You humans can get so irritating some times!" he muttered, disappointed.

"Thanks for staying here all night..." I mumbled and glanced at him. "It's nice... knowing that I'm safe, knowing you're here."

"I didn't stay here all night." He mumbled, then stood up and made a gestured towards the table. "I brought some food for you. You must eat some breakfast. You like cereals?" he said and pulled me up from the bed.

"Yes." I said quickly and walked forwards. The tray with food was lying on a beautiful wooden desk. My hand swiftly touched the whittled side of it. I turned around so I could see his face. "It's beautiful." I mumbled low. It really was and it must have cost a fortune.

He shrugged not taking his eyes of me. "I guess it is."

"Well... thanks for the breakfast." I said slowly, trying to make him leave - it would make me feel very uncomfortable to sit and eat with him staring - but he didn't leave, he kept standing there motionless so I turned to the desk again.

"Am I supposed to sit here and eat?" I asked, I gave a look over my shoulder and saw him nodding. He said nothing else, so I slipped down on the chair and pulled up the silver spoon that was lying next to the bowl with cereals.

I ate slowly, knowing Jasper was standing behind me. He made no sound and that just made it worse.

Finally I put the spoon down and stood up. "Ok, I really can't ta-" I looked around in the room but he was no where to be seen. I was all alone in his room. "Jasper?" I noticed how desperate I sounded and quickly steadied my voice. "Jasper, are you there?"

A door, I hadn't seen, was opened and he looked out. "Yes?" he answered lightly.

"I just... wondered where you were - I didn't hear you leaving."

"Oh, I just took a quick shower - if that's ok with you?" he said and I at once noticed his hair was wet. "If you want to, you can take one later."

I blushed, my eyes grew big in seconds. I had not known vampires took showers. "Um - oh. Well. Ok." I stuttered, really embarrassed. "Of course. I'll just... stay here."

He grinned, closed the door again and I breathed out. I looked around in the room - he had lots of photographs on the walls. Of his family and himself. I passed one I liked and stopped, staring on it, it was of Jasper at the beach. He smiled to the camera, looking so happy, so... free.

"You like it? Alice did everything in here, it was not like I could stop her." He said from behind me and I turned around. "I don't care really - I'm not in here much anyway."

"That was fast." I said looking at the bathroom door. But I could still see, in the corner of my eye, when he lifted his eyebrow.

"I'm a vampire." He answered with a grin. "I am fast."

"What's going on with Jane and Alec?"

"Carlisle and Alice is on their way to Italy - Aro is a friend of Carlisle's." Jasper said, stepped forwards and took a steady grip around my arm as if I was to get a breakdawn any second. "But Jane and Alec is still out there, they know we've got you. We had a meeting with them while you were asleep."

"What?" I said shocked. "You've met them? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's not safe."

"Dammit - it's safe!" I said - he was right to take a grip of my arm - now I was really pissed off. "I spent four months of my life, locked inside - with them, and they did nothing to hurt me! They did the opposite actually, they did everything in their power to keep me safe, so don't dare tell me that it's not safe for me to meet my own siblings." I hissed and then kept quiet for a second staring down at Jasper's hand. "You are going to let me go now! You are going to tell me everything about your meeting and then I'm going to leave and find my siblings."

He kept his face blank while answering. "No!" he said and put me gently on the bed. "No."

"What!?" I screamed out and tried to fight him off, without any success. "You can't just keep me here - I have the right to leave! I-I... I won't stay, you can't force me!"

"You are no match for my strength. My speed. You can never escape." His voice was calm as if we were talking about any other thing but my own freedom, but then suddenly it turned desperate and he looked at me with begging eyes. "Please! Please, I beg you - it's better this way. Please, just believe me. They are dangerous! I can't let you go out to them, you must understand that I don't want you dead."

"Jasper. Let. Me. Go." I hissed and tried to get out of his grip once more - I should have learned that it didn't work, how much I ever tried I would never get out of his grip if he did not allow it. -

"Just wait until Carlisle comes back." He said with the same desperate voice.

"And when is he coming back?"

"Two to four days - it depends." He steadied his voice and took my hand. "Katie, he can talk to Aro. He can make them go away, you don't have to be locked inside a room in the rest of your life until they decide to change you. You don't have to be changed. You can live a happily normal life."

"I don't have to be locked inside a room - then what am I now?" I asked him coldly. I knew now, that a happily normal life, was not what I wanted or at least something I couldn't get. My destiny had been changed

"You are free to walk where ever you'd like in this house, do what ever you'd like - I won't stop you." Jasper said calmly.

"I'm the only thing my siblings got, they won't withdraw. They will fight until the end." I told him, my voice shaking a little. "I love them and I won't let them hurt anybody, so you have to let me go. Who says I don't want to be locked up in a room all of my life?"

"If you want to take a shower, do that now." Jasper said, his eyes black as coal. His voice was stiff and I knew to my happiness, that I had pissed him off at the last sentence. He slowly walked out of his room, leaving me there.

I threw myself up to the window. Could I jump? Was it possible for me to jump from the second floor without getting hurt? Maybe, but they would quickly get out and catch me in a second. I was not fast enough. I swore low to myself.

I walked slowly into the bathroom and put on the water. I pulled of my clothes and then stepped into the warm shower, the steam rushed up into my face. Sure - I can play their game, but just until I find an exit. Then they can play with themselves. I thought bitterly to myself.

When I was done I stepped out of Jasper's room, I was freezing. I opened the door to the room I had seen Bella walk in to yesterday. "Bella?" I called, my voice weak. The room was dark. I thought she wasn't there but then she came out of the shadows, her hair was in a big mess.

"Hi, Katie - what's up?" she grinned, right behind her came Edward and I understood at once what was going on.

"Oh, I'm so sorry - I didn't... I'm sorry, I'll just... go." I turned around and was to step out of the room, but Bella gripped my arm. I shivered by her touch, her skin was so cold. And I was so wet.

"No, don't do that" Edward said and smiled to me. "I'll leave." He turned to Bella. "I will see you later, love." He kissed her gently on the nose and then walked out of the room leaving me and Bella to stare at each other.

"What's up?" she finally asked and turned on the light, walking into her room. Everything was in a mess, Bella just walked right over everything. Guess vampires get a bit... violent around the poeple they love. I thought and chuckled to myself. It's not like they can die so...

I walked after her into the messy room. "Well, I wondered if I could borrow some clothing. You see, I didn't take any clothes with me from Italy and I really don't want to wear these-" I made a gesture to my clothes, "-one more day."

"Of course." She mumbled happily and turned around and walked quickly to the wardrobe on the other side of the room, then started pulling things out. "What would you like to borrow? A dress? A shirt? A pair of jeans?"

"A pair of jeans and a big, warm jumper would be fine, if that's possible. I'm kind of freezing"

She grinned. "Of course." She pulled out a pair of dark jeans, a light purple jumper and threw it to me. "Here, take it. You don't have to give it back later."

"What? Of course I have to, it's your clothes. Not mine." I had to protest. It's what you do when people offer you stuff, you protest and if they insist - then you are free take it.

"I've never liked them anyway. They're old, from my human life. Doesn't fit me now" She said and made a gestured towards a door I think was leading into a bathroom. - Even though they had no use to bathrooms, they seemed to have one in every room - "You can change in there if you want to."

I walked inside and changed quickly. Even though the clothes didn't fit me at all either - Bella had been too tall and I had obviously lost some kilos not eating like I should - , they warmed me up at once and I was no longer freezing. I walked outside and found Bella holding Renesmee in her arms. "Hello." Renesmee called and smiled to me. "Catie, would you like to play with me and Jacob? It's fun! Please?"

"You don't have to it if you don't want to." Bella said swiftly and let her daughter down on the floor.

"No, it's ok - it would be fun." I said and smiled back to Renesmee. It would be fun- meeting Jacob again. Renesmee knew exactly why I came, she was a smart kid. A good kid.

"Then come." Renesmee said and took my hand, then pulled me with her. Her room was lying next to Bella's and Edward's. The walls were painted pink with cute purple teddy bears on it. Jacob was sitting on her bed. The covers were purple with a big white horse on it.

"Jacob, hi." I said, and he stood up. I walked forwards and hugged him tightly. It felt good to see him again.

"Hi, I heard about your ability. That's cool." He said and grinned.

"Well, I heard about you being a werewolf. I thought that was cool." I said and grinned back.

"I guess both is pretty cool," he said with a laugh and I nodded and joined in. "You've got anything, a plan or something that will make the bloodsuckers leave?"

"Jacob, that is my sibling's you are talking about - Never! I do neverwant to hear you say it like that!" I said angry. "And no for that matter," I sighed and turned to look at Renesmee who was pulling up some horses from her play-box. ", Jasper won't let me do anything - I am to be locked inside here to be your beautiful little porcelain doll."

"Come let's play!" Renesmee called, giggling. Then ran forwards took a hold of one of Jacob's hands and one of mine. Then pulled us closer.

"What do you want to play, Nessie?" Jacob asked and Renesmee held up a horse.

"You are the red horse, I am the brown horse and Catie, you are the white horse." She said and threw us the horses. Then we sat down and started playing. It was fun actually, it cleared my mind if it was just for those thirty minutes.
