Chapter 20. We wait. We swing. We sing.
Taylor and I were outside in a large field. We were lying on the hood of his car. "Taylor, do you think we will get married?" I asked him. "Of course." He said smiling. He held my hand in his. Are hands fit together perfectly, almost as if they were made for each other.
"Taylor, do you think we can have kids?" I asked hopefully. "Of course." He answered. I turned on my side so I was facing him. "Taylor, you love me right?" He chuckled before saying, "Of course." He turned his head so he could see me. What I saw shocked me.
He had bright blue eyes. I also realized after looking at our entwined hands that he did not have pale skin. I looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Taylor…are you human?" I asked him. He smiled widely at me. "Of course." Was his only reply.
I started breathing heavily. But…he cant be. "No Taylor…you cant be…" I was starting to get scared. I then noticed the sun was shinning down on us, yet he was not shining. Suddenly, the sun was gone and dark clouds covered the sky. Lightening stuck and thunder boomed and the rain started falling heavily.
"Taylor." I could barely hear myself over the storm. "Taylor!" Taylor sat up and climbed to the top of the car, smiling all the while. I looked down and saw the water began to rise. It started coming up to me, and I knew I had to get to higher ground. "Taylor help me up please." I called over the rain.
"I'm sorry love." He said letting go of my hand. "No Taylor! You promised! Never let go!" I screamed as tears ran down my face. He chuckled. "Sorry love." He said before my hand slid out of his and I fell into the water.
I felt the rain water around me. I watched as the blurry vision of Taylor on the car went away. I didn't understand any of this. I tried to breath but no air came into my lungs. Instead water filled them and soon, I could do nothing but float away into the unknown.

Alice's POV
Just when you think things are going good, they go bad. Finally, my new brother found love, the Volturi is defeated, and Gianna is dead. But, now Elaina is in a coma like state. I mean, she is a vampire! But she has been sleeping(yes sleeping!) for three days! Oh and Taylor is going crazy! He thinks this is all his fault somehow.
I think the worst part is I cant see anything. Usually I know when someone is going to wake up because their body decides. But now I cant see when or if she is going to wake up. I can see her eyes moving franticly under her eyelids. Not even Taylor or Edward knows what's going on in her head.
I just hope she is not alone in there.

Ouch. I fell on the ground of an open field. I finally stopped drowning in the rain water. It was so sunny now, and the grass was a vibrant green. I saw a old looking swing set and a little girl swinging. I walked over to her and recognized her as the girl in Volterra.
I sat on the swing next to her. "Do you know where I am?" I asked the young girl. She looked up at me and smiled. "You're in the waiting place." I was confused. "Well, what am I waiting for? Can I leave now?" I asked a little scared.
She shook her head. "No you cant leave yet. It's not time. You have to wait longer. But don't worry, I was sent here to keep you company." She smiled the largest smile I have ever seen. I couldn't help but smile back. "My name's Journey." she said in a sweet voice. I smiled at her. "My names Elaina. You can call me Elle if you want."
She smiled at me and nodded her head. "Hello, Elle. Do you want to swing with me?" I nodded my head and began to swing back and forth. I remember how I loved swinging when I was little. "Journey what are we waiting for?" I asked her after we had been swinging for a while.
"We are waiting on them." she said pointing to the sky. "The masters. We wait, then they tell us if we get to go with them, or go back."
"Go back where?" She just kept swinging as she answered, "Go back home. Go back to earth." We weren't on earth? How had I gotten here? "Journey, how do we get back home?" I asked the small girl. She looked so pretty with her long blonde hair flowing in the breeze. "We wait. We swing. We sing." She started singing over and over. Her voice was like wind chimes. I started singing with her.
"We wait. We swing. We sing." I was truly happy then, singing with the amazing 4 year old girl. I never wanted to leave. Just then, Journey stopped singing and swinging. "It's time. They are coming." she said staring up at the sky. I followed her gaze. I saw two bright lights descend from the bright blue sky.
"Elaina Rose White. You may go home now." I heard a loud male voice call out. I smiled and nodded. "Thank you." I said but then I remembered Journey. "Wait I-" I tried to say but then everything went dark.

Elaina's POV
I opened my eyes to see everyone there. I sat up and looked around. Taylor ran to me and hugged me tight. I held him close to me then we shared a long kiss. I pulled away and started dry sobbing. "What's wrong Elaina? Are you hurting?" Carlisle asked. I shook my head. I looked up and saw Demetri. "I need your help." I said to him. He nodded his head.
"I need you to find a little girl by the name of Journey."
