When I woke, I wasn't in a derelict building where I last remembered being. It was a field and I was surrounded in magnificent armies of various colored flowers.
"Where am I?" I said at last bending down to pick up a bloom.
"You are standing in a field of peonies." A voice echoed. I turned to look at whoever spoke but saw no one.
"Who's there?" I asked again.
"My name is Anumesh." There was the voice again but it didn't echo and it sounded close. I turned to look at this Anumesh. He was rather short. Reaching only to my waist. His head was bald, shaved clean of all hair. His feet and hands were bare and only a small space where his eyes and the bridge of his nose was visible; the rest of his body was hidden behind thick white cloth. His skin, from what little was visible, was the color of desert sand and his eyes reminded me of ice.
"Anumesh." I said his name and he answered with a brief nod.
"I have been watching you for some time now." The accent in his voice was something I had never heard before in all my coven's travels to find the Cullens and, eventually, Russell and his coven. He sounded ancient and his garb also hinted it as well.
"You have?" I said quizzically.
"Yes. You are special."
"I only wish I knew that before hand." I heard another voice. A voice I knew and remembered all to well. I slowly turned to face Emily. She wasn't in the clothing I remembered seeing her in. It was a plain white dress that fell to her knees. It was loose on her body and from her hips down the skirt ruffled in several layers to the bottom.
I gasped and made a break to run but Anumesh was blocking my way. "I'm not here to kill you if that's what you think." Emily said again. I turned back toward her and saw something different about her. Her eyes weren't red, they were a sweet honey brown color.
"How-?" I was cut off before I could finish my sentence.
"You're waking up." Emily smiled. "Tell the coven I said 'hello.'"
