I was dreaming, of that much I was sure.

I was drifting in a sea of pain; it felt like I would drift forever.

"Oh no, Bella, no!" A voice called out to me.

More pain. More blackness.

"Bella, please! Bella listen to me, please, please, Bella, please!" The voice begged.

This wasn't Damon's voice. Strange. The dream me felt like it wanted to say something, but it didn't.

"Carlisle!" The agonized voice yelled, that was interesting. "Bella, Bella, no in please, no, no!" This dream body was in so much pain, its stomach hurt, its head hurt, its arm hurt, its leg hurt, the body couldn't take it anymore and it gasped and screamed.

"Bella!" The voice cried again.

"She's lost some blood, but the head wound isn't deep, watch out for her leg, it's broken." Those simple words explained everything; this body had been badly hurt, it was screaming in protest to the pain that had been inflicted on it. There was a strangled howl of agony, followed by more pain in the bodies' chest. "Some ribs, too, I think." That explained more of the pain.

I already knew that I had no control over this body, I couldn't move it or anything. It was like someone else was controlling it, but I was stuck inside. Then I felt the burn.

"Edward." My voice said, but I knew I had said nothing.

"Bella, you're going to be fine. Can you hear me, Bella? I love you."

"Edward." The voice from my throat said again.

"Yes, I'm here." Came Edwards reply.

"It hurts." The body said.

"I know, Bella, I know" – he spoke to someone else. "Can't you do anything?"

"My bag, please…Hold your breath, Alice, it will help." Another voice said. All this time I was stuck in the black.

"Alice." The alien voice from my body groaned.

"She's here, she knew where to find you." Someone said.

"My hand hurts." I told him.

"I know, Bella. Carlisle will give you something, it will stop." He promised.

"My hand is burning!" This body screamed. Then I felt it too, the fire spreading on my hand. Though I was sure I'd never experienced anything like that before.

"Bella." The voice said worried.

"The fire! Someone stop the fire!" The body screamed.

"Carlisle! Her hand!" Edward screamed.

"He bit her." Came his reply.


"Riley? Riley wake up." Someone was gently pushing at my shoulder, nudging it trying to stir me. I opened my eyes slowly…all the pain was gone. Thankfully.

"Damon!" I cried and threw myself into his arms.

"What is it love?" he asked rubbing his hands slowly up and down my back.

"It was terrible, it was a terrible dream." I sobbed.

"Do you want to tell me about it?" he cooed.

I shook my head no. "Just hold me." I pleaded.

"Of course." He said.

After a while I was able to contain myself, and looked back up to him. That dream frightened me. There was Alice, and Carlisle, and Edward, and I think that dream was about Bella. But why would I be have that kind of dream, most importantly why would I have a dream from Bella's perspective?

"Dammy, what time to we have to leave?" I asked.

"Well the concert starts at 7, we have to set up, and we got a new van while you were sleeping, so we'll be driving, so I think we should leave at about 5." He said confidently.

"What time is it now?" I asked.

"Almost three love." He said.

"Oh, okay." Then a thought occurred to me. "What's the bands new name?" I asked slowly.

"Well about that…we decided to go in a new direction with the band…" he said slowly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, um…I decided that I was going to play bass, and then Aiden can so the other guitar, and Sam on drums, and that leaves you to be our lead." He said.

"Really? Are you okay with that?" I asked.

"Anything for you Riley." He said and hugged me close.

"So wait…what's the name? What did Sam tell the manager?" I asked.

"He didn't tell him the name, it's up to you!" Damon laughed.

"Why did he book us without a name?" I asked confused.

"Sam can be extremely persuasive." Damon said, and nodded in agreement.

"So I'll leave you to ponder the name while you get ready." He said, and went to get up. Absent mindedly I pulled him back.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"…yeah." I admitted.

"What is it?" he asked concerned.

"I just remembered that we haven't done this…" I placed my lips on his. "…for a very long time." I smiled.

He smiled widely. "Get ready." He said placing his lips on mine once more.

"Okay." I smiled and began to get myself ready for the concert.

I was really worried, I had gotten completely ready and still I hadn't come up with a name. Then as we were walking out the door it popped into my head. Misery's Minions. I was perfect.

"Hey Rie! Did you come up with a name?" Aiden asked as he loaded the van.

"Yup." I said.

"So what is it?" he asked.

I grinned. "Misery's Minions." I said, and they all smiled wickedly.

"Awesome!" They cried.

We all climbed into the van to our show. It was all normal again.
