opposite of helpful�察�but ready to try anything。 Edward seemed to notice nothing�察�as if I were wearing the
same ratty old sweats I wore at home。
The bruises were much better now!yellowing in some places and disappearing altogether in others!so
tonight I pulled out one of the scarier pieces as I got ready in the paneled bathroom。 It was black�察�lacy�察�
and embarrassing to look at even when it wasn't on。 I was careful not to look in the mirror before I went
back to the bedroom。 I didn't want to lose my nerve。
I had the satisfaction of watching his eyes pop open wide for just a second before he controlled his
expression。
;What do you think�拭─�I asked�察�pirouetting so that he could see every angle。
He cleared his throat。 ;You look beautiful。 You always do。;
;Thanks�察─�I said a bit sourly。
I was too tired to resist climbing quickly into the soft bed。 He put his arms around me and pulled me

against his chest�察�but this was routine!it was too hot to sleep without his cool body close。
;I'll make you a deal�察─�I said sleepily。
;I will not make any deals with you�察─�he answered。
;You haven't even heard what I'm offering。;
;It doesn't matter。;
I sighed。 ;Dang it。 And I really wanted。。。 Oh well。;
He rolled his eyes。
I closed mine and let the bait sit there。 I yawned。
It took only a minute!not long enough for me to zonk out。
;All right。 What is it you want�拭─�
I gritted my teeth for a second�察�fighting a smile。 If there was one thing he couldn't resist�察�it was an
opportunity to give me something。
;Well�察�I was thinking。。。 I know that the whole Dartmouth thing was just supposed to be a cover story�察�
but honestly�察�one semester of college probably wouldn't kill me�察─�I said�察�echoing his words from long ago�察�
when he'd tried to persuade me to put off becoming a vampire。 ;Charlie would get a thrill out of
Dartmouth stories�察�I bet。 Sure�察�it might be embarrassing if I can't keep up with all the brainiacs。 Still。。。
eighteen�察�nineteen。 It's really not such a big difference。 It's not like I'm going to get crow's feet in the next
year。;
He was silent for a long moment。 Then�察�in a low voice�察�he said�察 �You would wait。 You would stay
human。;
I held my tongue�察�letting the offer sink in。
;Why are you doing this to me�拭─�he said through his teeth�察�his tone suddenly angry。 ;Isn't it hard enough
without all of this�拭─�He grabbed a handful of lace that was ruffled on my thigh。 For a moment�察�I thought
he was going to rip it from the seam。 Then his hand relaxed。 ;It doesn't matter。 I won't make any deals
with you。;
;I want to goto college。;
;No�察�you don't。 And there is nothing that is worth risking your life again。 That's worth hurting you。;
;But I do want to go。 Well�察�it's not college as much as it's that I want!I want to be human a little while
longer。;
He closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose。 ;You are making me insane�察�Bella。 Haven't we had this
argument a million times�察�you always begging to be a vampire without delay�拭─�
;Yes�察�but。。。 well�察�I have a reason to be human that I didn't have before。;

;What's that�拭─�
;Guess�察─�I said�察�and I dragged myself off the pillows to kiss him。
He kissed me back�察�but not in a way that made me think I was winning。 It was more like he was being
careful not to hurt my feelings�察�he was completely�察�maddeningly in control of himself。 Gently�察�he pulled me
away after a moment and cradled me against his chest。
;You are so human�察�Bella。 Ruled by your hormones。; He chuckled。
;That's the whole point�察�Edward。 I like this part of being human。 I don't want to give it up yet。 I don't
want to wait through years of being a blood´crazed newborn for some part of this to come back to me。;
I yawned�察�and he smiled。
;You're tired。 Sleep�察�love。; He started humming the lullaby he'd composed for me when we first met。
;I wonder why I'm so tired�察─�I muttered sarcastically。 ;That couldn't be part of your scheme or anything。;
He just chuckled once and went back to humming。
;For as tired as I've been�察�you'd think I'd sleep better。;
The song broke off。 ;You've been sleeping like the dead�察�Bella。 You haven't said a word in your sleep
since we got here。 If it weren't for the snoring�察�I'd worry you were slipping into a coma。;
I ignored the snoring jibe�察�I didn't snore。 ;I haven't been tossing�拭�That's weird。 Usually I'm all over the
bed when I'm having nightmares。 And shouting。;
;You've been having nightmares�拭─�
;Vivid ones。 They make me so tired。; I yawned。 ;I can't believe I haven't been babbling about them all
night。;
;What are they about�拭─�
;Different things!but the same�察�you know�察�because of the colors。;
;Colors�拭─�
;It's all so bright and real。 Usually�察�when I'm dreaming�察�I know that I am。 With these�察�I don't know I'm
asleep。 It makes them scarier。;
He sounded disturbed when he spoke again。 ;What is frightening you�拭─�
I shuddered slightly。 ;Mostly 。。。; I hesitated。
;Mostly�拭─�he prompted。
I wasn't sure why�察�but I didn't want to tell him about the child in my recurring nightmare�察�there was
Page 62
Generatedby ABC Amber LIT Converter�察�www。processtext。com/abclit。html
something private about that particular horror。 So�察�instead of giving him the full description�察�I gave him
just one element。 Certainly enough to frighten me or anyone else。
;The Volturi�察─�I whispered。
He hugged me tighter。 ;They aren't going to bother us anymore。 You'll be immortal soon�察�and they'll have
no reason。;
I let him comfort me�察�feeling a little guilty that he'd misunderstood。 The nightmares weren't like that�察�
exactly。 It wasn't that I was afraid for myself!I was afraid for the boy。
He wasn't the same boy as that first dream!the vampire child with the bloodred eyes who sat on a pile
of dead people I loved。 This boy I'd dreamed of four times in the last week was definitely human�察�his
cheeks were flushed and his wide eyes were a soft green。 But just like the other child�察�he shook with fear
and desperation as the Volturi closed in on us。
In this dream that was both new and old�察�I simply had to protect the unknown child。 There was no other
option。 At the same time�察�I knew that I would fail。
He saw the desolation on my face。 ;What can I do to help�拭─�
I shook it off。 ;They're just dreams�察�Edward。;
;Do you want me to sing to you�拭�Ill sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away。;
;They're not all bad。 Some are nice。 So。。。 colorful。 Underwater�察�with the fish and the coral。 It all seems
like it's really happening!I don't know that I'm dreaming。 Maybe this island is the problem。 It's really
bright here。;
;Do you want to go home�拭─�
;No。 No�察�not yet。 Can't we stay awhile longer�拭─�
;We can stay as long as you want�察�Bella�察─�he promised me。
;When does the semester start�拭�I wasn't paying attention before。;
He sighed。 He may have started humming again�察�too�察�but I was under before I could be sure。
Later�察�when I awoke in the dark�察�it was with shock。 The dream had been so very real。。。 so vivid�察�so
sensory。。。。 I gasped aloud�察�now�察�disoriented by the dark room。 Only a second ago�察�it seemed�察�I had been
under the brilliant sun。
;Bella�拭─�Edward whispered�察�his arms tight around me�察�shaking me gently。 ;Are you all right�察�sweetheart�拭─�
;Oh�察─�I gasped again。 Just a dream。 Not real。 To my utter astonishment�察�tears overflowed from my eyes
without warning�察�gushing down my face。
;Bella� ─�he said!louder�察�alarmed now。 ;What's wrong�拭─�He wiped the tears from my hot cheeks with
cold�察�frantic fingers�察�but others followed。

;It was only a dream。; I couldn't contain the low sob that broke in my voice。 The senseless tears were
disturbing�察�
but I couldn't get control of the staggering grief that gripped me。 I wanted so badly for the dream to be
real。
;It's okay�察�love�察�you're fine。 I'm here。; He rocked me back and forth�察�a little too fast to soothe。 ;Did you
have another nightmare�拭�It wasn't real�察�it wasn't real。;
;Not a nightmare。; I shook my head�察�scrubbing the back of my hand against my eyes。 ;It was a good
dream。; My voice broke again。
;Then why are you crying�拭─�he asked�察�bewildered。
;Because I woke up�察─�I wailed�察�wrapping my arms around his neck in a chokehold and sobbing into his
throat。
He laughed once at my logic�察�but the sound was tense with concern。
;Everything's all right�察�Bella。 Take deep breaths。;
;It was so real�察─�I cried。 ;I wanted it to be real。;
;Tell me about it�察─�he urged。 ;Maybe that will help。;
;We were on the beach。 。。。; I trailed off�察�pulling back to look with tear´filled eyes at his anxious angel's
face�察�dim in the darkness。 I stared at him broodingly as the unreasonable grief began to ebb。
;And�拭─�he finally prompted。
I blinked the tears out of my eyes�察�torn。 ;Oh�察�Edward 。。。;
;Tell me�察�Bella�察─�he pleaded�察�eyes wild with worry at the pain in my voice。
But I couldn't。 Instead I clutched my arms around his neck again and locked my mouth with his
feverishly。 It wasn't desire at all!it was need�察�acute to the point of pain。 His response was instant but
quickly followed by his rebuff。
He struggled with me as gently as he could in his surprise�察�holding me away�察�grasping my shoulders。
;No�察�Bella�察─�he insisted�察�looking at me as if he was worried that I'd lost my mind。
My arms dropped�察�defeated�察�the bizarre tears spilling in a fresh torrent down my face�察�a new sob rising
in my throat。 He was right!I must be crazy。
He stared at me with confused�察�anguished eyes。
;I'm s´s´s´orry�察─�I mumbled。
But he pulled me to him then�察�hugging me tightly to his marble chest。

;I can't�察�Bella�察�I can't� ─�His moan was agonized。
;Please�察─�I said�察�my plea muffled against his skin。 ;Please�察�Edward�拭─�
I couldn't tell if he was moved by the tears trembling in my voice�察�or if he was unprepared to deal with
the suddenness of my attack�察�or if his need was simply as unbearable in that moment as my own。 But
whatever the reason�察�he pulled my lips back to his�察�surrendering with a groan。
And we began where my dream had left off。
I stayed very still when I woke up in the morning and tried to keep my breathing even。 I was afraid to
open my eyes。
I was lying
