I finally calmed myself and picked up the poor tortured alarm clock and placed it on my bedside table, promising to myself that I would take better care of innocent things. I decided that there was no way in hell that I was going back to bed if I was going to keep having those weird vision like things and besides, I can see a little light out of my window, that must mean it's nearly time to get up anyway. I went towards the kitchen with the intention of looking at the actual time but as I left my doorway I saw a mess of bronze hair on the sofa. Edward.
He's clearly asleep and I can see that damned book in his hands. I stand staring at him for a moment until I realise he's probably cold so go and get a blanket from one of the cupboards. I lay it over him but in my close proximity, I can't help but slide the book from his hands. I'm just far too interested. I looked at the page that he had been reading and saw the mind reading incantation. Hmmm, it looks like he might have seen my dreams, I hope not though. Oooh, if he looked at my dreams then I get to see his!
"May the circle be open and remain unbroken, may the circle be open and allow me to your head, merry Meet, and Merry Part, till Merry we Meet again!" I laughed a little at the ridiculous words but then my head started buzzing, like I was suddenly in a hall crowded full of people all talking at once. I focused in on the loudest, smoothest sound and found myself in what I assumed to be Edward's dream.
A large cloaked figure was stood in the middle of a meadow, his face was shielded by a hood and so I decided not to focus on the person but on the surroundings. The meadow was filled with shadows from all sorts of trees and there was a small river running through the middle. There were large sandy rocks piled up around it and small green plants pushed through the gaps. It seemed gloomy but in a happy way, like this was a very peaceful place. The figure walked towards the river and sat on the bank, submerging its feet in the water.
I looked up and saw flowers sprouting out of the grass, there were all sorts and I was sure that most of them were in no way suited to these conditions. Then the trees started to blossom and the sun shone through the gaps brighter than before, the grass was greener and the water more blue. Another cloaked figure appeared out from the trees and came and sat on the other side of the bank, allowing its feet to rest in the water as well. They looked at each other and I think they smiled. After a little while with just the sounds of the water and animals, the first figure spoke.
"You're here again"
"And so are you"
"You said you wouldn't come back, that this place haunted you"
"You said the same"
"I
could not resist, the peace and calm outweighs the end"
"It is
so harsh, how can two such opposing things ever come together?"
"I do not know, it is not right"
"Would you believe it to be possible to leave without it happening?"
"I doubt it; I believe that it is unavoidable"
"I know, I only wish it wasn't so"
And with that the figures returned to silence and I watched and listened. I think that the first figure is a male and the second female but I don't recognize their voices. They are beautiful voices, soft and smooth but broken slightly as they talk about the end. I feel a sense of dread about what the end could be and I partly want to leave before I find out but some force is keeping me, holding me to this place.
I waited, listening to the calming sounds of the water and watching the patterns that the light made on the water. Everything was so peaceful, it was like this place had never witnessed any pain or hurt. I felt finally at rest and regretted that this was not somewhere I could go in my own dreams.
Eventually the second figure stood up and things darkened, the blossoms fell off the trees and a wind picked up. The light coming in all but disappeared and the river was churning, throwing huge waves out of its banks. The flowers were spinning around in the darkened sky, joined by twigs and leaves. The sense of peace had disappeared.
As rain started to fall and the meadow started to fall further in to darkness everything suddenly disappeared.
I cursed under my breath, how dare the mind reading spell wear off now! I suppose it is probably a good thing that I didn't see the end of that as the people talked about it with such fear but now I'll never know! Arrrgh! I stood up and studied the area around me, Edward was still fast asleep but twitching slightly and everything was exactly where it had been this morning. It felt weird to me that everything should still be the same when I've experienced such different things.
I walked over to the kitchen and looked at the coffee maker. I stared at it for a few minutes and then looked inside. There sat Alice's phone, so I fished it out and then put the machine on. I'm glad I remembered to look. As I stood waiting for the coffee, I looked at the glowing time display on the cooker, 5.47, well that's not too bad, maybe a little too early but it's okay. I'll just have to go to bed earlier today. I poured the coffee in to a mug, avoiding Alice's hair straightners and went back in to the lounge. As I sat down on the other sofa, Edward's eyes flickered open. He blinked a couple of times and then looked at me.
Wow, i only took a day to update, that almost never happens :)
Okay so next chapter i'll do a different point of view and explain the dream.... it's not necessarily edward's you know :)
Oh yeah, i have to admit to the fact that i don't own twilight, i think it's obvious i don't, however upsetting that may be
