Chapter Twelve
Bella's Point of View
"Hey Bella" Quil greets coming over to sit by me on a log; I smile at him when I see him. "Been out here long"
"Not really, just needed some air" he nods like he needed the same.
"Mind if I join you" I shake my head letting him stay, our best friends were missing, it's been nearly a month. "I never realized how boring it is here" He jokes picking up a rock throwing it into the water making a dainty splash. I look to the ground picking up a small flat one, and using a wrist technique Charlie taught me when I was little I skipped it across the water, five time. "Dang, I wanna try" He says picking up a semi flat one only getting another single splash making me laugh. "Not funny" He says trying to look sad, I grab a rock handing it too him, and show him how to flick the rock with his wrist. We watch in silence as he skips the rock six times across the water. "I did it" He exclaims jumping up and down.
"Good Job" I say to him he smiles then turns back to the houses when a voice calls his name.
"That's my mom, I'll see you around" He says smiling, probably for the first time in a month. I watch him walk away while pondering what I should do now. Sighing, I finally decided to take a walk, I turn around from the log on the wet sand and walk into the forest keeping my eyes on the ground so I don't trip and fall on my face. I feel as I'm being watched again, making me feel a little more self-conscience, I keep my eyes on the ground.
"Someone should really clear a path way" I mutter to myself climbing over yet another downed tree. Under some hanging branches and almost slipping on some mossy rocks; at least I think they're rocks. Slowly I come to a field its beautiful the trees surround it on all sides, with lots of huge rocks here and there. Somehow I feel as if I've seen this place before, like I've been here somewhere. I step forward remembering one of my dreams from when I first came here; it hits me like a ton of bricks.
The dream
I stand in the field looking out over it, wolves stand in the trees barely in eye sight, the same sandy wolf I've seen before is closest to me. A man jumps out of the trees his eyes crazed black like coal. They lock with mine for a moment then everything goes black; I hear the wolves howl as I wake up.
End of the dream/flashback/memory thing
I sigh checking the trees again for wolves I know that there really aren't any here but it's so weird. I turn to walk away taking one more look around the field once then twice spotting a man. Not just a man but the man from my dream. His eyes black as coal. Am I dreaming? Is this some kind of prank like on those TV shows mom likes to watch? I check again to see if he's still there, sure enough he is. A thick wind blows up from behind me, messing my hair up and making it cover my face, but I didn't miss the expression on the man. Crazed like my dream, almost mad like. He begins to slowly walk towards me. I back into the woods until I'm out of sight then take off running, falling every time my foot becomes trapped by a root, or limb. Slipping on rocks my hands become bloodied my jeans ripping. Is this what happened to Jake and Embry? The strange man in the woods?
Alice's Point of View
(Its been bugging me to see their side on this)
I stalk behind Jasper; he just got back from hunting with Emmett and Rose. I wanted to surprise him because I had missed him; he had been gone all weekend. They left me behind to keep an eye on Edward; who seemed rather distant lately. I stop dead in my tracks as a vision sweeps over me; I feel everyone by my sides holding me up as my knees give out. Edward stands in the field we played ball in last week, he's out on his way to go hunting; he said he wanted to catch up with everyone. A girl comes into view, his nostrails flare out as the wind picks up. He begins is stalk towards her as she takes off into the woods running from him. The vision changes now, he's standing over her dead body; eyes red with human blood. Slowly he wipes his mouth off with his sleeve, before he disappears from my vision all together.
"Alice can you hear me what is it" Jasper asks pulling me into his arms. So much for surprising him.
"It's Edward" I whisper, my voice low. "I had a vision he killed a human girl just outside of La Push, possibly in La Push near first beach."
"Has he done it yet" Carslie asks, I shake my head no.
"Let's go try to stop him" Emmett suggests Jasper nods to him, as we all stand a head out to try to find Edward.
Bella's Point of View
I stumble once more feeling more and more, angry with myself for not being able to get away. It's like those dreams where you fall and can't get back up; I hope this is all that is a dream. I look behind me just as five large wolves come into view they all surround the man growling, the sandy colored one sticks close to me as usual, yes I was definitely dreaming. They attack the man until he turns around and runs back faster than I can see into the woods; three of them take off after him while the sandy one and another gray ish colored one stick near me.
"I didn't know there were wolves here" I whisper walking over to one, he bows his heads allowing me to scratch the top of his head. The other one growls as if demanding attention too, I smile turning to the sandy one. "I'm sorry did you want to be petted too?" I smile again as he comes to me pushing his head into my hand, giving me what seemed like a small nod. "I really think I'm dreaming you know, the wolves usually don't descend so to speak unless it's in my dreams. Do you think I'm dreaming" I ask it, it shakes its head no. "Do you have a name" It nods its head yes. He turns his head upwards to look me in the eye, I suddenly feel weak making me knees almost give out. The other one backs his nose into my back keeping me steady. "Wow that was weird" Some kind of gravitation thing I guess, maybe NASA should work on that. They exchange a look as if they were communicating in their heads together; probably making fun of my ability to walk correctly.
The other three wolves come back then, looking at us. The black one looks almost pained, then shakes his head. The sandy one takes off into the woods, I sigh turning back to the rest of them. Maybe they were gunna eat me? I didn't have much meat on me, but I unquestionably couldn't get away like the creepy guy could that's for sure; easy prey maybe. I look over suddenly to the sound of twigs snapping, Jacob stands there; hair short and wearing nothing but jeans that looked like they were cut off at the knees.
"Jacob?" I question, hesitantly taking a step forward.
