6:00pm

"The spirit climbs my spine to the brain, Following the railroad tracks down again."

Right on time.

I grab my phone from were it's resting on the couch arm." Edward?" I breath down the phone.

"Bella? what's wrong? Why are you whispering?"

"Edward. I need your help. Come over please."

Back to when the photo was sent:

I rushed out of the room upstairs towards to window in the hallway which falls on the Blackstone property. I gazed out of the window towards the netted on. Then back at my phone.

The picture was of me looking towards the window.

Under the picture said. 'Curiosity Killed the Cat.'

My first logical thought after seeing that photo was Alice. I need to get her out of the house. Running down stairs I see she is still perched on the couch texting away to who I can only guess is Jasper. She looks up at me from her phone, her face dropping slightly. " Bella? You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Or a creepy picture of myself.

"Actually Al I'm feeling a bit crappy at the minute. I think I'm going to go to bed early. Do you mind going now? I know we were going to get food but I don't think I'm feeling it." I hate lying to her but this was the only way I could think of to get her to leave.

" Are you sure? I could stay, make sure you've got everything you need." That's my Ali, always trying to make sure everyones okay.

"No I'll be fine. I'm just going to go to bed anyway."

com'on Ali leave!

She stands up grabbing her bag and heads towards the door. "Okay, Don't be a stranger." She closes the door behind her. I run towards it locking it, putting the dead bolt on and pushing the side table against it. I spend the next twenty minutes running round the house, checking the windows and the back door. I grab the baseball bat out the kitchen where Dad keeps his glove and make my way in to the living room. Checking my phone for new messages and seeing I have none I decide to screen shot the text with the picture just in case then text the number back.

Who is this?

Not ten seconds later I get a reply.

I know you. I walked with you once upon a dream.

That was my favourite Disney song growing up.

Seriously who is this? I will call the police.

Stand your ground Bella. We've got rights!

My phone went off again. It was another picture. My hands shook as I pressed it to open. It was Alice leaving the house. Another message came through.

It would be a shame if little Alice fell down a rabbit hole.

Alice! I swiped off the text and on to my calls, I found Ali's name and tried calling. She picked up on the first ring.
"Hey, change your mind?" She said cheerfully down the phone.

Quick Bella think!

I looked quickly around the room. " No, I'm just calling to tell you that you left your scarf so you knew where it was." Phew, quick thinking.

"Oh, you could of just text me that" She laughed down the phone. "Silly Bella. I thought you were getting some rest?"

"I-I was. I came down for a drink and saw it, so, yeah I'm going to go. Bye." I put the phone down before she can say bye. Thank god she was okay.

Leave Alice alone. Who are you?

Silly Bella, that's not the right question to ask. I don't want you to know who I am.. yet.

I stared down at my phone. What is the right question then? I went through the 5 W's and decided on what next.

Okay, What do you want?

My phone chirped again, signalling a new message. My whole body broke into goosebumps before opening the message. I dropped the phone in complete shock, there on the screen was a collage of me. Pictures of me when I was a child leading up to more recent pictures. I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. My phone chirp again, I screamed as my whole body was so tense. On the screen was a single word that I dreaded completely.

You.

I threw my phone to the other side of the couch, grabbing a pillow and wailing into it. This person was a complete creep, how did he get those pictures of me! Why was he stalking me.

Why are you so sure its a he?

My subconscious had a point. Why was I so sure it was a he. It could easily be a she. I mentally shifted through a list of people I knew, I couldn't think of one person I had done something too, to warrant this sort of behaviour. The only person I knew for the long on all the photos was Alice and we'd always been close, she couldn't have done anything like she. She didn't have it in her. Plus there was a picture of her leaving my house, she couldn't of took that.

I slowly reached for my phone, acting as if it was more like a bomb than a phone, and took screen shots of everything before going on to the internet and setting my phone up so it couldn't receive unknown text or calls.

Well that's one way to stop it at least.

Lets just hope it works.

I sent Alice a quick text saying not to bother coming round in the morning that I would be fine before noticing the time. It was nearly 6, Edward would be calling soon. I had never felt so alone and scared, I need to tell someone.

"The spirit climbs my spine to the brain, Following the railroad tracks down again."

Right on time.

I grab my phone from were it's resting on the couch arm." Edward?" I breath down the phone.

"Bella? what's wrong? Why are you whispering?"

"Edward. I need your help. Come over please." The phone line cut off. I'm guessing that was a yes and he was on his way. I sent him a message asking him to shout when he get here so I could let him in.

I doze on the couch waiting for Edward. Some time after I begin to dream.

I'm running from the darkness of the shadows, their hands reaching out towards my ankles to grab me before I can reach the light. I see the light at the end of the forest, the light stretching as far as any mortal eye can see. I hear my name, I hear the velvet voice shout for me, begging me to hurry up.

I sit up straight out of my laying position on the couch. The shouting wasn't part of my dream it was Edward! He's here! I race towards the door pulling the table out of the way so I can open it fully. There standing in all his wet glory, is Edward.

I guess I should clarify it's raining pretty hard.

I think we got that.

I reach for his arm pulling him into the house with force. slamming the door shut, dead bolting it and dragging the table back to where it was before I turn and slam my body into this drenched one. He holds me for what feels like a lifetime and a day, before moving us to the couch.

"Bella, whats wrong? What's going on? You nearly scared me to death." He grabs my hand and squeezes it.

I reach forward and around him to grab my phone opening it on to the screen shots I took. " Take a look for your self." I pass it over to him. He seem to just stare at it so intently. I'm so exhausted I feel myself drifting off again.

"This is all my fault." I can barely make out what he says.

" What is?" I'm pretty sure I just made a sound than a sentence at that point.

He wraps me up into his arms and rocks me gently into a deep sleep I can barely hear him say," I'll protect you. I'm so sorry."

BOOM!

chapter 6 done. I didn't really know where I was going with this chapter. I sort of struggled with it. I know its only short but better than nothing.
