[ Bella] , this insignificant girl.

[Edward Cullen]

Her expressions are unreasonable, everything that I would'nt expect.
It is something that I just can't simply ignore.
The feeling. It's unnerving, staggering something that I had not met.
But here it was, staring me in the face. Tempting me in the most brutal way possible.
Knowing that if it were to happen now, nobody would know. No one would...Just one bite would end it all.
For here; she is asleep, dreaming about me, yet once again.

Like every other night, Edward would make his way to Bella's room unsuspected. He'd watch her constantly, finding clues, getting signs and decrypting how she really was behind her hidden exterior. He knew that by doing this, he was breaking all the rules of his kind. But selfishly enough, nothing prevented him from his daily routine into the Swan's residence. This was what he wanted.

Like every other night, Bella layed in her bed. She's never looked so serene, compared to her normality of being almost too clumsy to stand on her two feet. But what was better than her hidden gracefulness was the fact that she talked during her sleep. At this, Edward was very interested in.
This was one of the main reasons why he makes an effort every night to be here; to be by Bella's side.

Suddenly "Edward," she sighed. This did not take him by surprise for she had been mumbling his name for the last week or so now. Infact, this only made him more curious. Curious as to why she was saying his name and only his name. In the earlier stages of his visits he recalled her talking about her mother and how unsatisfying she found Forks. Why the sudden change of subject?
Edward wondered about this almost all the time. Apart from the fact that she found him inhumanly attractive and everything about him seemed to draw her in. What more could there be? But as per usual, the thought of her overwhelmed him. It couldn't be that he was actually beginning to have more than a feeling of curiousity for her. Could it? For Edward had never in all his existence had feelings to be with anyone but his family, let alone a human. An insignificant human girl that made all other humans seem highly irrelevant to him. So why is it that he visits her every night? Why can't he read her mind? Why does he feel an impossibly strong for Mike Newton everytime this insignificant human girl talks to her?

All these questions, none answered was all Edward could think about that night.
"Edward," she sighed; yet once again. This I could get used to, he thought and smiled.

[Isabella Swan]

You tried not to become a part of your world.
Instead you became a part of mine.
Now that you're here, I do not want to let you go.
I'll risk it all to keep your world and mine combined.

Bella loved one thing about being in her room at night time. Edward. He was here every night now. James was on the lose and he needed to be here to keep her safe and alive. She could care less why he was here, the mere fact that he was here beside her made her feel so amazing it was not even able to be described. She had allowed him to come into her room and she had gotten ready for bed. She had made sure her homework was done and everything was in order with Charlie before she slid beneath the covers and closed her eyes "Goodnight Edward." Was the last thing she said before her eyes fluttered closed, she was exhausted.

Suddenly she was in a forest. It was as if the sun was no longer shining and she stars had come out to play. Bella was outside at night. She was not supposed to be out in the forest at all, let alone at night time. But she was looking for someone. She was looking for Edward. He had ran into the forest about 10 minutes ago and she was looking for him. She wanted to know what was wrong with him, why had he left her like that!? Did she do something wrong? "Edward." She called out to him but there was nothing called back in return. She could not find him.

She walked on, it seemed like ages before she came to a clearing. It was the same clearing that the Cullen's frequented to play baseball when the storms came. Suddenly everything was slow, she smelt something in the air, it was a fragrance that was subtle - she could barely make it out - it was her shampoo. She looked up at the top of the field and saw Edward. He was snarling. She reached out to him but she realized that he was protecting her. "Edward." She whispered his name as she watched him closing. Why had he protected her that day? Why was she watching this? Where was James. She looked to the side and jolted. James was standing not three feet from her.

She looked at him he seemed aggrieved and pleased at the same time. What was going on!? She walked closer - likely not the most intelligent idea, but she was over by Edward, she wasn't right here. She walked to him and reached out to touch him, suddenly he realized she was there. She gasped and looked back to Edward, he was no longer bearing his teeth in defense and she was no longer behind him. He looked at her in shock and fear. What was happening. She looked back over at James and he was coming toward her, he was intent on something. Bella could feel herself backing up. What was going on? Had she not just been behind Edward!?!

"Edward." She whispered again, so scared she could barely speak. She held her hand out in a pleading motion to James, begging him not to do anything. He stopped, he smirked, he lunged. Everything ended. She could feel the searing pain in her neck and the aching in her back as she was pressed against the tree, but that was all, she could only feel the pain, she could not see, she could not speak, she could not even breath. Suddenly the pressure was gone and her body fell limply to the ground below. The last thing she whispered before she fell into the darkness was. "Goodbye Edward..."

[Edward Cullen]

Bella, the human... And myself, the vicious monster.
The Vampire.
To refuse to want her, I can not.
But somehow, one day. She may no longer want me, in her world.
Till then, I wait.

Edward sat blissfully on alongside her bed, moving softly as to not awake her from her sleep.

Bella, the girl of his dreams- if he were to have them. Here she layed there, more serene than before.
He was now complete, everything he wants and has wanted were in his hands. Complete.
Edward was content.

His life, his family and now... the girl.
He was eager, he had never felt anything like this before.
This thing; he'd only read about, heard of it... but never felt it.
The difference between love and lust, and everything else that came along with it.

Edward no longer needed anything else, yet at the same time he regretted it. He regretted being happy.
How could he be so selfish?
Is it not enough that I'm putting her in danger? But now I'm happily doing so?
He was too occupied in making excuses as to why he should be there. Why he must be with her; that he forgot about the consequences it had. He was risking everything, breaking all the rules. Yet he did not care.
If this feeling is like this? He can't cope, it's affected the way he thinks and makes decisions entirely.
Edward was attracted to Bella, and he liked the feeling. Bella was like an illegal substance to him. He was utterly addicted and will forever refuse to snap out of it.
Bella, was his brand of heroine. Edward couldn't deny it.

Edward leaned in against her, and ran his hand through her hair. At that instant she woke up.
" Goodmorning, sleeping beauty." Winking at her and smiling the smile that made her heart flutter like a humming bird.
" Pleasent dreams?"

[Isabella Swan]

Is there a life for us, when only one of us is living?
Is there a medium between my life and your death?
Can two be one when one is not the same as the other?
Are we so different? You who can not breath and me?
You stole my breath with one look in your eyes...
Are we so different?

Bella felt a aching as she was lost in the darkness of her dreams. She did not know what to do, she felt as if she could not move, as if she was losing her very existence. She felt alone and cold. She felt a pain she could not describe nor duplicate. What was she doing? Why couldn't she move? Was she dead? Suddenly light came into the world and she saw Edward there. He was standing in the sun, he was sparkling. He looked at calmly, this could not be the same dream. He reached his shining hand out to her and she reached out to touch his and that is when she realized. She too, was sparkling.

The feeling of a hand through her hair shot Bella back into reality. Who in the hell was touching her? She groaned as she opened her eyes to find it was Edward who was touching her. She smiled softly as she looked up at him. She closed her eyes tightly and threw the covers over her head. "Sleeping beauty needed a kiss to wake up, not a hair rub." She muttered from under the blankets. She did not want to get up, she wanted to go back to that second dream of hers. The one where she was a vampire too and Edward was with her. She wanted that dream back.

She groaned and wriggled a little under her blankets. "What time is it?" She asked, though her voice was muffled underneath the blankets. She was not in the mood to go to school. She wanted to lay here with Edward and talk all day, but she knew this would obviously not be happening, school was looming in the back of her mind. She sighed roughly and snuggled back into her blankets, she was in no mood to get out of bed right now. The dream that she had awoken from was too good to pass up. But as she closed her eyes she knew it had faded.

She opened her eyes and crawled underneath her blankets to the end of her bed. This was an odd gesture, she would usually toss them off and get out of the bed, but she crawled like a child underneath them today. In a way, it made her feel better. She slid out of the bed and rubbed her neck as she looked around. She looked to Edward, he was dazzling. She smiled softy at him, he was wearing the same clothes, meaning he had not left her during the night. For that she was thankful. She sighed softly as she rubbed her face. "I hate school days." She murmured feebly.

[Edward Cullen]

The differences are infinite, but the similarites are endless.
I've never had such a longing. A longing undefinable.
I've had more than a lifetime, to search for what is mine.
Now that I've found it, here I am to claim it.
To hold it endlessly.

Edward was pleased that Bella had finally awaken. He'd been wanting to know a lot more about her, just like he was sure that she'd have a million questions for him.
Edward didn't mind all of Bella's questions. After all, she was very observant and he enjoyed watching her reactions and comments to everything.
" Pleasant dreams?" He had asked.
Bella smiled softly, but then almost immediately covered herself in the covers. Edward was surprised. Did she not want to see him?
" Sleeping beauty needed a kiss to wake up, not a hair rub." She explained. Still, covers over her.
Edward raised a brow and chuckled. " Do you want me to leave?"
Edward expected most of her usual responses. He embraced her back holding her in a firm grasp but not too strong to suffocate her.
"I'm not going anywhere, Bella" he assured. " Please know that,"
She hesitated.
Edward let go of his embrace and raised a brow, directing it straight at her.
" Goodbye Edward....?" This had bothered him before, but this annoyed him now. She obviously still doubts something.
It was obvious, she was covering something.
" You said it... very clearly while you were asleep." He was curious, what was she hiding?
Whatever it was. She was wrong. Edward had heard everything in her sleep, there was nothing she could hide. Yet still, he felt as though he was missing out on something.
Edward held one finger out and placed it under her chin forcing her to meet his gaze.
Their faces were only inches away now. He smiled and drew closer, his breath now close enough to be smelt by the girl. He whispered, " So tell me Bella, what exactly are you afraid of?"

[Isabella Swan]

Endless flames wander this world, they burn, flicker, and go out.
Flames of life, dying in the end. Over and over.
But you, the flame of my soul, you never flicker and you you never die.
You're as timeless as the moon and stars the sky.
You are the moments carved in stone, never dimming.
You never tire, your flames shines bright.
You'll never go out.

She looked to him and sighed softly. "Not really..." She said simply, not really going any further into detail than she had to. Though, knowing Edward he would pry and pry until he found out every little detail about her dreams. Seeing as the fact he could not read her mind. She groaned and stretched, but at the moment he spoke about her wishing him to leave she gasped and grabbed him - likely not a good idea - and pulled him to her, holding him close to her tightly. She buried her head in his shoulder not caring that he likely was having a hard time keeping his cool with her this close. "No. Please. Don't." She whispered softly.

She heard his words in her ears and she smiled softly. "Good." She whispered before she sighed softly and leaned back. "You're in my life now, it would be hell if you left." She said softly. She looked at him, his eyes were their soft topaz that they had been when she went to sleep. She continued to stare into them for a moment silently until she was taken from her dream as he raised a brow and spoke to her. She bit her lip. "I was talking in my sleep again wasn't I?" She asked him simply and feebly.

She sighed and looked down, her eyes scanning over the faded quilt until his long, agile finger slid beneath her chin and forced her to look up at him. She swallowed softly as she looked into his eyes, the feeling of butterflies in her stomach growing as she realized how closes their faces were. She took in his scent as she listened to him ask her what she was afraid of. She swallowed again and closed her eyes. "Losing you." She whispered softly, her eyes opening. "I am afraid I will awaken one day and find you gone... Forever. Or that your a dream." She sighed softly.

"I dreamed that we were at the fields again, and James was there, but that I was next to him and I was behind you. Like I was watching it as a movie or a third person. Then I went to touch James, to see if I really was a part of the dream and then he turned on me. I looked back to you and noticed I was not longer there and you were looking at me so scared..." She sighed softly. "Then he lunged at me and bit me... It was all I could do to keep from screaming. I said goodbye to you and then everything went black... It was over." She said softly. She would not tell him about the other dream, it seemed that her becoming one was a soar subject right now.

[Edward Cullen]

Be not afraid, I will protect you.
No matter the price, the pain... I will.
Do not doubt my love,
do not doubt me; my love.
Hold my hands and I will not let go,
We are entwined, nothing will keep us apart.

Edward knew that he would get the truth out of her, he couldn't think of a reason why she wouldn't be able to. Did she not trust him?
Edward smiled as she had to told him, that losing him would be her deepest fear, it would be unlikely that she would be ever afraid again. He had not planned to leave anytime soon, unless it was the best thing for her.
He was now comforting her, her dream surely had some impact. He didn't like it, seeing her upset. It made it untolerable. Edward held her head with his hands " I will never leave you, you are my life now." He moved his hands from her face and held both her hands. His hands holding hers moved steadily from his face to his heart, " You might not know it, but it's there." He smiled and gently kissed her on her soft lips.
The kiss overwhelmed him, he enjoyed it more than he should. Trying to turn back to reality, he moved around her grabbed her bag and gazed upon the girl who had captured his still heart.
" Aren't we going to be late for school?"

[Isabella Swan]

The moment you looked in my eyes I felt whole.
I was a only half of soul before we met.
A lost half searching for it's mate.
Life was meaningless until I looked into your eyes.
Is there such a thing as a soul mate?
I believe so, for you have me...
Mind. Body. And soul...

She could tell he was pleased that she told him about her fear. She was no so pleased, if it was a fear that meant it could someday turn into a reality. The thought of losing Edward was too much to bear. She did not know if she could live without him. She was not sure what her feelings for him were, if they crossed the border from like to the dreaded word or if they were simply a deep infatuation. She was more expected the first rather than the second, but she was not sure what love was and thus she had nothing to go by. Then she thought about Esme and Carlisle and she could not help but feel that they were in love.

She breathed deeply as she smiled up at him. Theres, sitting on her bed, Edward's hands holding her head. His warm Topaz eyes gazing into her own soft bronze, was heaven on earth. She smiled softly her eyes nearly closing as she looked up at him, the sheer thought of being his lived made butterflies erupt in her chest. She had never heard such beautiful words. She felt his hands take hers and she looked down at his chest. She smiled softly as she listened to his comment about his heart. "I know it is..." She whispered softly.

She looked up in time to catch his lips grazing against hers. The feeling of his lips against hers sent a shock wave of emotions she could not describe through her. She had the urge to wrap her arms around his but she knew from prior experience that it was a no-no, Edward and her scent were like walking on thin ice. So instead she gripped his shirt softly, right where his heart was, where her hands still were as she reveled in the bliss of his lips on hers in a sweet and sensual kiss. At that moment she was very glad that he could not read her mind, because it was running on turbo and the word love was somewhere in the mess.

She blinked softly as she tried to regain her bearings after the kiss. She nodded simply. "Uh, yeah." She got up and grabbed her bag. "I need to take a shower and everything, meet you out front." She said simply. "You have to get changed anyways." She said with a smile and a wink as she grabbed a simple pair of faded blue jeans and a long sleeved gray shirt. She grabbed the undergarments she needed and her things and ran into the bathroom, quickly getting into the shower and getting ready for school, the tingling sensation still having not gone away from her lips.

[Edward Cullen]

The softest touch, makes a world of a difference.
Her warmth lingering amongst me.
Resisting everything, though wanting it more than life itself.
Surrendering. No more boundaries.
There was nothing left to hide, even for me.

Edward smiled as Bella took her belongings from him. Still smiling when she needed yet another one of her not so many human time.She had offered to meet him in the front of her house, while she prepared for school. Giving himself more than enough time to go home and change into anything, but yesterdays clothing. He did not want the neighbours or anyone else for that matter thinking something unnecessary. After all, there were no secrets in Forks, the little town that it was.

Edward quickly rushed home, having to run all the way there. He did not want Charlie to be more than suspicious, about a silver Volvo on his front yard every night. Poor man would have a heart attack. So instead, every night he would climb up to Bella's room, unsuspected and without transportation.

Feeling the wind in his air, smelling it and every other scent around him. He was disappointed, spending time with Bella had satisfied his senses more than enough. Anything less than her special fragrance would just be a let down.
He arrived home faster than he had intended. No one was home. Everyone must've already left to live their human life. Their charade.

Edward quickly climbed up the staircase and quickly found the door to his room. He opened his cupboard pulling a pair of jeans and a beige turtle neck. He quickly removed his shirt exposing his bare chest to the light that was coming from his wall sized window. He felt the material run up, the material did him no justice against his smooth, chalk pale skin. He removed it instantly and chucked on the clothes he had chosen.
Edward quickly made his way down to the garage. Where, Carlisle's Mercedes and Rosalie's BMW had already been driven away.

He got in his car and drove off, ready to wait for Bella. When he arrived, he saw no sign of her yet. He attempted to knock on her door, but he could stil hear the water droplets sprinkling on her skin. Bella was still in the shower. So he decided to just stay next to his car, leaning his back against it.

[Isabella Swan]

You are my angel. My eternal Angel.
You are as timeless as eternity.
The more I am with you the more I can't stand to be away from you.
I can't tell you yet, but I already know.
My heart is yours.

Bella let the water run over her as she kept her eyes closed for a few moments. It was interesting to feel water over her when all she really wanted was to be with Edward. She quickly washed her hair and finished getting cleaned. It was likely that Edward was already waiting outside for her, he had a tendancy to be a little too fast for her own good. She chuckled softly as she wrapped her towel around her and dried off. She then slid on her clothes and brushed her hair before brushing her teeth and leaving the bathroom.

She grabbed her bag and ran to the stairs. Taking them two at a time. BAD IDEA. She felt her foot slip on the fourth to last step and she literally said "Ah hell." when she felt her arse land forcefully on the step and then slide down the ramaining four. She groaned as she got up, rubbing her bum before havering to the door with a soar look in her face. She stretched a little and shrugged on her coat before sliding on her shoes and opening the door. She could literally feel the amused look she was going to get from Edward. He would have likely heard the fall.

She sighed roughly and stepped outside, running her fingers through her slightly tossled hair before looking at him with the 'don't-even-start' look. She was not in the mood for his teasing about how she was a walking disaster. She made her way slowly to his car and sighed simply. "Yet another blissful day in Forks." She said simply. "Onward to school..." She muttered the last part, conveying that she would much rather not be in school right now but be somewhere else, like back in bed. That would be amazing, with Edward by her side. That would be bliss.

[Edward Cullen]

Her presence uplifts me.
She has victory, and a prize to collect.
Anything she wants, she will receive.
For I am foolish enough to give the world to her desires.

Time went by slowly, Edward was still leaning against his car awaiting Bella's return to his side. He could hear that she had just finished taking a shower and was getting dressed, chuckling to herself. Again he waited, just enjoying the smell of fresh air. Still not satisfied, it was nothing compared to her scent.
Instantly he heard a loud thump. He was amused. Bella was barely capable of standing on two feet, let alone walking down a staircase.

There her scent, he could clearly make it out now. She was walking towards him and the car, with a not so pleased look on her face. Edward tried to hide a smile and wondered what she was thinking. He smiled at her and said simply, " Goodmorning Bella," This time trying to hide a laugh. " Why in such a rush?" He hoped he knew what he was getting at.

Edward listened as she had complemented the day, making him more curious as to what she was really thinking. He got into the car, and heard her to talk about school. Did she mean for him to hear that? For she had mumbled it to herself.

Immediately, Edward started the engine and reversed off the Swan's driveway. He pressed the accelator not too hard, just enough for the speedometer to go up to eighty. Worried that, he might scare Bella.

He was resisting small talk, but wanted to know what was on her mind so desperately. He hated it when she kept things to herself.
" What's planned for today?" He asked conversationally, as they set forth to Forks High School.

[Isabella Swan]

I am screaming for something and I don't know what.
I am aching for nothing but your cold touch.
The feel of your lips against mine sets me ablaze.
I am lost in your embrace.

Bella sighed roughly as she looked at him, knowing he heard her little tousle with the stair case. "Don't play coy Edward Cullen, I know you heard me." She said bitterly as she stepped into the car. Though she had to admit seeing him try to hide a smile - he looked so amazing - she was smiling softly by the time she had gotten into the car. It was impossible for her not to smile when she looked at him, not to be dazzled by his wonders, to be captivated by the look and feel of him. He was her dreams in reality, she was so lucky.

Bella sighed softly when Edward started the small talk, always wishing to know what was on her mind. She looked to him for a moment and smiled. "Well, I am going to school, can't ya tell?" She asked him with an almost too innocent smile. She was not giving anything away just yet. It was by far the only thing she had hanging over his head, the fact that she was the only one who he could not read like an open book. She turned back and looked out the window in silence.

They were nearly to the school when she gave in. "I have to interview a new employee tomorrow at work." She said simply. "That should be interesting, his name is Jonathan Ainsley and he is new in the town. He is supposed to be a Senior here at Forks but the word is he keeps to himself a lot like you all do. Seeing as he is new to the town. I have seen him once or twice in the halls, he dresses like he is used to the city, no wonder he does not talk that much." She said calmly before looking to Edward and smiling.

"So if you could please tomorrow either take me home right after school so I can get my truck and be to work on time that would be great, this is of course if you are taking me to school. If not I'll drive my truck and head to work right after." She looked down at the floor board of his car and licked her lips softly. "Whether or not you take me to school is your decision, but I would really like it that - no matter the decision - if you stay with me again tonight." She whispered softly, still looking at the floorboard.
