Chapter 4 - The dream

"Edward, where are you?" I said, panic bubbling up through my throat. "This isn't funny!" I was freaking out, where did he go? There is no way he would have just left me alone. "Anyone? Can anyone hear me?"

It was so dark here. I wasn't even sure where here, was. It was like a big black room, with no windows or even a door, just a big, empty, black room. I spun around in a circle, looking up, down, left, right, and everywhere in between but there was still nothing but black. This black was odd somehow, not just a colour or shade, no, this black was much worse than that. This black was darkness and evil, pure evil.

Then it came out of no where, my lullaby. I spun around to see Edward and his piano in the brightest light I had ever seen. He was just close enough for me to see his body moving to the music as he played, I could almost see his hands moving across the keys. He was gorgeous, the way the light danced through his bronze hair, and off his pale white skin, made him that much more dazzling.

I wanted to sit beside him and for him to hold me, the darkness was starting to get to me and I was feeling slightly claustrophobic. I started to walk toward him, smiling from ear to ear as he played my lullaby. It was strange that he didn't look up, surly he would have heard me coming, and he never missed a sound. After about a minute of walking I noticed I wasn't getting any closer. I could feel the panic start to bubble its way to my throat, and I started to run.

It felt like I was running forever. While I ran, I yelled out for Edward but he still never looked up from the keys. I was still running when my lullaby came to an end and another one picked up, I recognized it as Esme's favorite. I still ran full on, wondering how I did this without getting tired, or tripping over my own feet. I was scared, and it felt like I was stupidly running up a down escalator, not the most productive activity out there.

Just when I thought I was doing so well at not falling on my face, I tripped. The same time my hands hit the floor Edward stopped playing. Of course, it just took my falling for him to look at me, if I would have known that I would have falling ages ago. I looked up to see if he was really looking at me and he was gone, light piano and all, gone. Now I was scared out of my mind.

That's when I heard the laughter, it wasn't a happy laughter, and it was evil and menacing. I knew this laugh, it was very familiar to me I just couldn't remember where. My subconscious did, all of a sudden I was in a tower with vampires all around me and Edward was lying on the floor crippled in pain. I looked up and it was black all around me again, but I saw someone walking toward me. As they got closer, I saw their face, it was the face of the little girl Jane.

She was smiling at me with the most menacing smile I've ever seen on anyone's face. She saw my horrified expression and giggled to herself, as she stepped even closer to me. Her eyes were boring into mine as if to make me even more scared, it worked like a charm. I was mortified when her eyes suddenly left mine and shifted too just behind me. My eyes followed hers very slowly, I turned my head and shrieked as this huge man stepped into my view. He just laughed and then looked to Jane with an amused smile on his face, and nodded.

If I thought I was scared before it compared to nothing now. I was terrified, so scared that I think I could possibly explode. I looked back to the face of the evil, little girl, her expression was pure pleasure. Then she gave me the wide smile, and out of no where pain shot through my body and it felt as if my limbs were being ripped from my body and head ringing with my own screams, mixed with the highly hysterical laughter coming from Jane and the man.

I was abruptly woken by screams and my name being yelled. I wasn't sure what had happened, or was happening, but when I opened my eyes all I could see were hot, orange flames flickering around my face and body.
