1911- Ten Years Old
Jasper's POV
I lay awake in bed thinking about the strange behaviour of my sister and best friend. Whenever they were together they were beyond happy and would sneak off together. At times I'd feel left out but they would always make it up to me. It was strange; I would sometimes catch them in Bella's room, just staring into each other's eyes, not doing anything else. I'd occasionally catch this look in their eyes, the same look my mother and father had in their eyes when they looked at each other. At times, I'd feel uncomfortable being with them and other times, I couldn't help but wonder if they were going to lean together and press a kiss to the other's lips.
I was brought out of my musing by a scream. I knew instantly that it was Bella. I ran to her room to see her curled up in a ball in the middle of her bed.
"Bella, did you have a nightmare again?"
Ever since she and Edward started acting differently, she'd have these nightmares from time to time.
I scooped her into my arms rocking her slightly. When she had calmed down, she nuzzled her face into my chest, tears streaming down her face.
"It is always the same one Jazz; the same nightmares. How do I stop it?"
"I do not know Bella. Maybe if you tell me about it, we can try and figure out why you are having this dream. Start from the beginning."
"There's a war. Soldiers lined up to fight, guns in hand. I see along the line. There are hundreds of soldiers, all different shapes and sizes but identical with their uniform. Then I see you and Edward. In the middle of the crowd you both stand ready for the attack. It flashes to a scene when you are climbing a wall of mud, into a barren land. Guns fire and Edward drops to his knees, falling into the thick mud. You roll him over and his eyes are lifeless, another gun fires and you fall into the mud. That's when I wake up."
"Bella, it will be okay. There is no reason Edward or I will be going to war. There is no need to worry. I'm staying right here with you."
"Thanks Jazz. You're the best brother ever. Will you stay with me tonight?"
"Always Bella. Get some sleep. Edward's coming over early in the morning."
She smiled as I said Edward's name and let out a little sigh. I was going to find out what was going on between them, even if it took me a lifetime.
