HAPPY EASTER GIRLS! LOVE YOU!
John was already awake and reading newspapers with coffee and breakfast by his side when Dean, Sam and Bella woke up.
The boys were smart enough they didn't speak of the nightmare in the morning. When they had a nightmare they never wanted to talk about it either and their father always said they needed to deal with them on their own. So they let Bella deal with it on her own too.
But Bella didn't know how to deal with that kind of a dream.
If it was a nightmare, she could probably convince herself it was just a dream. But it wasn't.
Bella had never had a dream so vivid. Everything felt so real. She felt every touch, every kiss.
She was so happy when the dream people got married.
And when Jonathan died. God when Bella saw the uniformed men standing at the door she felt the crippling sadness, the grief of losing her husband.
There was no way that that was just a dream.
»What are you doing?« She asked John as her and the boys sat down to have breakfast.
»Looking for a case.« Was Johns tense answer.
Bella was confused. Did she say something last night when she was dreaming of him? Was he angry at her for something she did? She didn't know but she let him be. She didn't have the energy to interrogate John.
After a day filled with tension and silence Bella finally put the boys to bed and she was free.
»I'm gonna go for a walk.« She told John.
John nodded. »We're leaving for Billings tomorrow.«
»Montana?«
»Yes.«
»Okay.« Bella said and left the room.
She had no idea what was going on with him today and for once she didn't care. She felt she had enough problems of her own to handle without adding in Johns.
When Bella found the same bench she sat and cried on the day before she fished the phone out of her pocket and dialed the only person she wanted to talk to right at that moment.
'Hello.' Victoria answered.
»My dad is dead and I think I'm going insane.« Bella said instead of a greeting.
'What?'
»My dad, he died.«
'How?' Victoria wanted to know.
»A ghost killed him. That thing he saw in his house, it was a ghost.« Bella choked out.
When there was nothing but silence coming from the other side Bella wondered. »Did you know?«
'That your house is haunted?'
»That it exists.«
'I knew but it's so rare that…'
»But it's not!« Bella cut in.
'What do you mean. Of course it is. I mean I only saw one and I've been around for some time.'
»NO.« Bella sobed. »It's not rare. There are people – hunters. They go around killing ghosts and vampires and werewolves.«
'How do you know that?'
»I'm with this guy and he's one.«
'A hunter?'
Bella nodded forgeting Vicky couldn't see her.
'Bella, I'm sorry.' Victoria said after listening to Bellas sniffles for a few minutes. She felt really bad. But in all honesty she really never thought about warning Bella about the others, thinking she'd never meet them. A mistake on Victorias part, Bella attracts trouble like a flame attracts a moth.
»It's not your fault.« She felt guilty for yelling at Vicky.
'Why do you think you're going crazy?' Victoria asked. 'Of grief? Because that will pass.'
»No. I mean yes, I'm sad but that's not it.«
'Then what?'
Again Victorias question was met with silence. 'You can tell me Bella, you know I'd never judge you.'
»I don't know. I had this dream.«
'About?'
»This man. A man I'm traveling with. He saved me from the house, when dad died. The hunter.«
Victoria wanted to yell at Bella so badly she almost bit her tounge off. What was Bella thinking running off with a guy she didn't know?
'Aha?' Was all she could get out of her mouth.
»And I know this will sound crazy but last night I dreamt about him and me. We were married. But in a different time. I… I think it was the world war. The first one, I think.«
Now Victoria was stuned speachless. No longer did she want to yell at Bella, now she wanted to know everything.
'How do you figure it was the first war?'
»By the dress I was wearing when I opened the door.«
'Who did you open the door for? Your husband? You do know it's supposed to be the other way around? He should open you doors.'
»No.« Bella cried. »The officers came.«
'What?'
»Jonathan was in the navy. The submarine he was on was sunk. He died.«
Bella was sobbing again, holding herself together with her arm pressed against her chest. She felt her heart breaking.
'Is that his name? Jonathan?'
»No.« Bella shook her head. »His name is John. And in the dream he called me Isabelle.«
'Does he call you by your full name now?'
»No. I don't think I even told him. I introduced myself as Bella, you know this.«
'Look try to get over this. It could be just a dream but I'll snoop around a bit. I'll see what I'll find out.'
»How do I get over this? I feel like someone ripped my heart out of my chest.«
'I don't know.' Victoria admited.
»It was so real, Vicky. I never had a dream like this. Never. I felt like I was diying with them.«
'Oh sweetie.' Victoria felt so bad for her friend. She wanted to help Bella so much but there was nothing she could do.
Bella sighed and wiped her eyes and nose.
»On other news – Renee caught the first flight to Forks to see dads lawyer.«
'Huh?' Victoria was confused. What business could Renee have with Charlies lawyer? As far as Victoria remembered Bellas parents were divorced for years.
»Yeah. She was sure dad left her a fortune.«
Vicky snorted on the other side.
»I know. I told her that too.«
'Yeah? What did she say to that?' Vicky asked, she would bet the clothes off her back that Renee was not happy with that.
»She assumed that if dad didn't leave her any money I'd give her some.«
'You're kidding?'
»Unfortunatley no, I'm not.«
'Oh my god!' Victoria exclaimed. 'You said no, right?'
»Of course I said no! I may be going insane, but I'm not stupid. I told her not to call me ever again.«
'You're not going insane. I told you I'd look into it. And you did the right thing by writing off Renee.'
»Are you sure?«
Victoria didn't know what she should be sure about either cutting off Renee or Bella not being insane. She didn't care, she was sure either way.
'Yes!'
»Thank you Vicky.«
'Don't. You're my friend. That's what I'm here for.'
'Ill call you as soon as I find something. Okay?'
»Yeah.« Bella nodded. »I should probably go back, we leave tomorrow and I need to get some sleep.«
'Take care of yourself, you hear me?'
»Yea. You too.«
Bella hung up and slowly walked back to the motel. She felt a bit better but she still felt that emptines in her chest.
