Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1.

Chapter 4: Something Else
Her hallucination took a VERY dramatic turn, the lips she felt on her neck suddenly stopped. Her eyes snapped up to the vampire's eyes, expecting them to be blood red. Instead the man's eyes were gold, the vampire's face belonged to Emmett Cullen. Her breath was once again caught in her throat when she realized she had been so paranoid about having another hallucination that she had overreacted to a very normal interaction. 'Damn,' she thought as she felt her checks turn a bright shade of red, she suspected a similar shade to that of the eyes that haunted her dreams at night. 'I'll have to explain to him my reaction.'
But instead she felt herself being lifted off the ground and his lips where soon pressing on hers. Her mind was spinning. Things like this didn't normally happen to her. Maybe she was having another hallucination.
She felt herself lost in the hallucination though. She was reaching around his neck and pulling him closer to her as she kissed him back. It was one of those passionate, 'I can't live without you' kisses you see in the movies. Rian felt herself melting against his lips. All thoughts were driven out of her head, she forgot her fears of whether this was real or not.
Soft grass brushed against her back as she felt the world tumble about. Her eyes snapped open as she pulled away from the man, she hadn't even felt him carrying her anywhere, let alone noticed that they were now in the middle of a thick forest. Pain rose up quickly, this was definitely not real.
Emmett's cold hand brushed her shirt up slightly as his dark eyes questioned her slightly panicking expression. "This isn't real."
"What do you mean?"
"This is the part of the hallucination that you bite me and dry me dry isn't it. I'd rather skip that part please."
Emmett was speechless, this girl was speaking complete non-sense and total truth at the same time. He was sure Rian had no idea how close she had come to that outcome earlier. "Never. I'll never hurt you." He buried his head in her neck and inhaled slightly, testing the waters again. Success, he no longer wanted to taste her blood, although his body did have another possibly just as dangerous reaction.
Rian, involuntarily, bared her neck to the 'vampire' as she thought he was. What was she doing? Inviting him to kill her. But for some strange reason she could not make herself feel the fear she normally felt in these crazy visions.
Briefly, before acting upon his desires, Emmett wondered if he could pull off the other dangerous action he wanted. It was either that or she would end up dead for certain. Then in the blink of an eye, because the girl already knew he was a vampire, their clothes were on the ground around them. He had an impossibly sexy smirk on his lips that made all resistance (what little she may have hand) thrown out the window.
Rian was panting by the time she came to her senses, Emmett still laying naked beside her. He on the other hand had not even so much as broken a sweat. Not that it surprised her, if this was a hallucination like she suspected, he was a relentless vampire that did not obey the rules of human bodies.
"How come your eyes are like honey and not red?" She decided to talk to her hallucination.
"I have a different diet than most vampires. I only eat animal blood."
"You don't need human blood?"
"Animal blood sustains us, but we aren't at our…best on it."
"Then why stick with the animals?" Why was she trying to talk him into eating her?
"Sticking with animals helps me keep a promise I made to someone long ago. I don't want to hurt anyone again." He was talking about his last 'singer' as everyone calls it.
Rian reached for her clothes, this was the longest vision she has had in a long time. She was beginning to worry. "I should get back."
In a flash Emmett was dressed as was she. "Show off." Rian couldn't stop the words from falling out of her mouth. Rian was really enjoying her newest psychotic break from reality, that is if he let her live (which they never did).
At home, the Johnson's were all running around doing what they normally liked to do: being loud, while Rian helped her twin, Bryan, with making dinner. If there was anyone in the family she'd talk to about that afternoon (leaving out the gruesome details) it would be him. But she didn't know how to bring the subject up, not even when he asked how her day was and how she was dealing with returning to school, to normal life. Her family just wanted to help her get better and she wasn't sure how to tell them that she was beginning to once again having trouble separating her hallucination from reality.
When dinner was ready, Quinn was the only one talking at the table. And as usual, the teenagers quickly disbanded into their own private sanctuary; which was usually their room or the living room in Logan and Casey's cases. Rian was left sitting at the table, lost in her own thoughts. She could still feel Emmett's touches, his kisses. She shivered just thinking about them. At least in this newest vision, she didn't feel the burning fire rippling through her body as she has always felt whenever a vampire bit her right before she would slowly become numb, feeling her energy fading and her life draining.
The oldest Johnson girl put away her food, as she didn't feel hungry, and made her way to her room. Rian Johnson picked out her clothes for the next day before taking a quick shower and retiring to bed for the night. The day's activities catching up to the girl.
