Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1.

Note: Sorry this took so long, I was momentarily stuck on the chapter I was currently writing. All better now though.

Chapter 5: Reality Shattered

Rian woke up the next morning, sore all over. Mostly her back and shoulders ached, she had slept on them wrong last night.

The house was almost silent, alarms were going off in Rian's head; the house was never silent. "Ri! Come on!" Quinn's voice screamed from behind her door. Instantly, Rian jumped out of bed and quickly pulled on her clothes for the day. Rian looked at herself in the mirror and paused. There were two large bruises on her should, were she ached the most. Ignoring the remnants of her latest vision, Rian through on a long sleeve jacket from her closet before she ran out of the house to join her siblings in the car. Of course since she was the last one out of the house, she was left stuck in the middle of the backseat. She knew Quinn had a giant, satisfied smirk on her face in the front seat. She mentally made a note to get the keys back from Bryan sometime so she wouldn't have to deal with her annoying little sister attempting to steal her spot up front.

Besides the uncomfortableness that comes with being stuck between two pre-teen adolescence, the car ride to school was relatively nice. Bryan didn't turn on rap music. Quinn paid more attention to putting on finishing touches to her make up than she did talking. The two on either side of Rian were looking out the window.

Rian was brushing her hair out when they pulled up to the parking lot, with it being so late in the morning, almost everyone was already there and in the school. There was only one other car that had arrived just moments before they had. It was a silver car that Rian didn't recognize at all, she quickly realized why: it belonged to the new family (to which her new crush belonged to). As she stepped out of the car, and her eyes met the golden honey eyes, she felt the blood rush to her checks as she remembered her 'encounter' with 'him' in the woods. He leaned against the car, his smile made her legs melt at the sight of it and she nearly tripped.

Everyone was already inside, besides the Cullen family and Rian, by the time the bell rang signaling the beginning of the school day. Rian had thought she was just behind her siblings, but when she looked around for them she could not find them. Instead she found Emmett standing dangerously close to her. She sighed as she realized it was not humanly possible to get across the parking lot that quickly.\

"I need you, now." She wasn't sure why she said it, or why she was so willing to give into the vision so quickly. But the words came tumbling out of her mouth.

"Good." He breathed heavily, his eyes dark; all indicating how much he needed her at that moment as she needed him.

In between breaths, he managed to pick her up and carry her half way through the forest. Unlike last time, she had kept her eyes open. The excitement of moving so fast had her giggling as she watched the tree blur and she tightened her grip around his neck. It wasn't long before their clothes were once again on the forest ground.

Rian ended up missing most of her morning classes, she decided to wait until lunch to walk into the school for the first time that day. The loud chatter was already buzzing whenever she made her way to the lunch line to grab herself some food. Winter followed her in the line even though she had already gotten her lunch.

"So…" Winter was using her super sweet tone that sometimes irritated Rian, "Where have you been?"

Crap, what should she tell Winter? Winter knew all about her mental problems and would understand, but it wasn't something Rian wanted to talk to her about in school. And even if she didn't mind, she certainly didn't want to talk about the nature of her latest visions. 'Oh, yeah. Been out having lusty, amazing, hallucinations featuring the gorgeous Cullen." Winter would definitely want, no demand, details.

"I've been out." Rian replied reluctantly.

"Out with Emmett? He missed his classes today too."

"He did?" Rian pondered over the weirdness of the coincidence.

"You weren't with him?" Winter raised her eyebrow, completely not buying Rian's story.

"No." Rian lowered her voice, now realizing she'd have to tell her friend the truth. "I was having one of my…episodes."

Winter's expression quickly changed to one of understand and sympathy. "Oh."

"Yeah. Although it did star him." This peaked the other girl's interest. 'Damn it. I said too much.'

"Well that's new. It's not been someone you knew before, right?"

"Yeah, this was the first time." Rian admitted truthfully.

The girls had been standing in a corner away from most people while discussing the younger girl's health. But when Winter decided it was enough information for right then, the girl's made their way to the table who seemed to not notice their secluded suspicious conversation, to which Rian was grateful.

Rian sat again in between the two blonds, whose names she now knew were Josey (the bitch) and Camille. Winter carried on a conversation with the table while Rian sat quietly eating her food, all the while feeling eyes on her. For some reason, she knew who they belonged to: Emmett Cullen. And even though she knew that it didn't actually happen, the thoughts of their bodies intertwined on the forest floor had her blushing brightly.

Rian chanced a glance at the muscular man, his expression a mixture of confusion and wonder. The girl briefly wondered what was on his mind before she turned back to her friends.

Lunch seemed to drag on as the blond bimbo, Josey, (who Rian was really beginning to hate) continued to say lies after obvious lies. Everything that slipped out of her mouth was either a hidden insult to make herself feel better or an obvious over exaggeration. While Rian was left to wonder how no one else at the table seemed to notice this, she began to turn her out and wait for the bell to ring.

It didn't take long though, after a few sentences out of Josey's mouth, the bell rang loudly. Rian was practically the first one out of her chair, taking her jacket off and walking along side Winter.

Then Winter said something Rian never expected anyone to say. "That is a nasty bruise, what happened?"

Rian stopped in her fast walking, no longer caring if she was late for class. Her eyes widened in shock as she connected the dots. What happened on the forest floor was real, it was all real: Vampires. Then the fear slowly creeped up on her, her hands began to shake. "No."
