The Girl Who Ran With Vampires

Chapter 18

When the time came for me to sleep I was more than willing to escape the hell I was in just for 7 hours of freedom. My dreams were the only place I could be safe, the only place where I could think freely. Since I was the only person in the coven that slept I had the entire bed to myself. I did my best to ignore Rome as he stared continuously at me from across the room, not one time did he blink.

Sighing to myself I shoved the pillow over my head and closed my eyes. I let out another deep breath and then another to relax myself. Even though I couldn't see him I could still feel his eyes gazing at me. Another breath and then another.

I was close to sleep I could feel it. Images swam before me of my family, it was Edward, my uncle. I could see his reflection in the mirror in what I knew was my bedroom back home. His fists were clenched tightly and his eyes were closed, what was he doing?

As I was delving more into disecting the dream I was having my cousin Renesmee came into the picture. She placed her hand on her fathers face and several images began fluttering through my mind. Wait no through Edwards mind, I was dreaming about Edwards mind.

All the thoughts Renesmee showed her father were the same. They were of me and her, she missed me. I could feel a sadness growing greatly inside me and the need to cry was close, only I could cry. Edward couldn't cry.

"I love you uncle Edward and you too Nessie." I thought.

Suddenly Edwards head snapped up, his eyes opening quickly. The dream changed and I was no longer looking through Edwards eyes but through what seemed to be my own.

As I looked down upon the scene I could see Edwards expression, he was clearly confused.

"What's wrong Edward?" I thought again.

He tilted his head up and from my view it looked like he could be looking right at me. This dream was getting weirder and weirder. This was the first time I was able to ever control my dreams, it all felt real.

Edwards face scrunched up as if he seemed to be contemplating something. Only when Bella entered the room was he distracted. He smiled at her and then moved to kiss her. Nessie who had been sitting on my bed beside her father got up and quickly left.

It confused me for a moment because they were just kissing. That was until Edward closed the door and the too began getting heated on my bed. My aunt and uncle were about to make love on my bed.

"Just what I always wanted to see, my aunt and uncle making love. Even worse, on my bed. Come on you guys go home and do that." I thought to myself.

Just like the previous time Edwards attention was pulled away from his train of thought.

"Wow, its like they can here me." I thought again.

Edwards face contorted into a mask of confusion. Bella who noticed this brought her hand up to touch his face. I saw her eyes glaze over and I knew she was lowering her shield to let him read her mind. Some things they spoke about only to one another using their gifts, Nessie the same. Whatever she wanted to say she didn't want to say outloud.

"What is it?" I heard Bella's voice speak. I knew from the absence of lip movement that this was Edward hearing her thoughts.

Edward shrugged his shoulders. "I keep thinking that I am hearing her voice." He replied quietly.

"You think that's weird, I can here your thoughts and auntie Bella's." I thought to myself. This dream was going to be one to remember.

"There it is again?" he said quickly.

"I didn't here anything." Bella replied.

Edward nodded his head. "It's sort of like me being able to hear your thoughts, it only goes one way."

"What are you hearing exactly?" Bella asked.

The view changed again and I was looking at Bella from what seemed like Edwards eyes.

"Oh great now I'm back in my uncles head again, the torture. Please stop thinking about her like that I don't want to see those memories." I gagged in my mind only to see Edward mimick it. Suddenly images of Bella hovering over a toilet came to me. Her hand was on her stomach and I could see a bump, was that Nessie. Then came feathers and- "STOP! Please make this stop I don't want to see how my cousin was concieved." I thought strongly.

Very slowly my gaze rose up to meet the mirror and I could see Edwards eyes, wide in shock.

"I think she is in my mind." Edward said quickly.

"Who?!" Bella said worriedly.

Before he could answer Alice came into the dream.

"Oh Alice I miss you so much." I thought to myself.

Alice's head turned quickly. "What did you say?" She asked Bella.

Bella shook her head. "I didn't say anything."

"I heard you, you said I miss you." she replied quickly.

I could feel a headache coming on, a great one. "Bella didn't say it Alice, I did." I thought. "Honestly, dream Alice is not as smart as the real Alice."

"Hey, who said that?"

"Who does it sound like?" I asked sarcastically.

Alice didn't say a word but she looked to my dresser where a picture of me sat in a silver frame. "It all makes sense now." She said to herself. "I saw her, well not really saw her but heard her and it didn't make sense but now it does. Some how Juliet is communicating with us."

"Like my gift?" Edward asked.

I laughed. "Somewhat" I thought. "Its basically the complete opposite, like Nessie except she had to touch to show her thoughts and they only went one way. From what I have noticed it seems I am sending you thoughts and being able to hear yours as well." I thought to myself.

Suddenly it dawned on me, what if this wasn't a dream but real. What if I was really communicating with my family.

"Edward, can you hear me?" I began, more aware that this was more than likely real and not a figment of my imagination. "It's Juliet."

A smile formed on his face as he began pacing. "She's talking to me." he said to no one in general. "Yes, I can hear you Jules, are you okay?" He asked me.

"I'm okay, well not really." I thought. "I'm married, Rome made me I swear I didn't want to."

"Shh, its okay." he replied soothingly.

My thoughts grew panicked. "But I drank human blood. I'm a monster" I replied.

As I looked over the room again through Edwards thoughts I could see not only Alice and Bella but the rest of the family. They seemed worried but at the same time relieved. My mothers face caught my attention and beside her my father. My parents.

"Mom." I whispered.

I saw her jump a little before a smile formed. "Juliet." My mother whispered back.

I then forced my thoughts to my father. "Daddy I miss you." I said sadly.

It was true, I missed my family. I wished I was home. A weird feeling began to make its way from my head down my neck and towards my feet. It felt cold yet warm, and strong yet gentle. Through my fathers eyes I saw a faint glow start to form and for a second I could have sworn I saw myself before I seemed to just fade away.

Looking back down upon the scene I saw my entire family staring at the spot where I thought I had just saw myself. So that meant they saw it too. What did that mean?

"Daddy, I'm scared." I thought. "I want to come home, please I'm sorry for disobeying you and going to Rome's house. I just don't want to be here anymore, I never wanted to be here he used his gift on me to make me do what he wants. He hits me." I finished.

In a split second my fathers face filled with rage and he punched a wall. "He's been hitting her!" She shouted. "He's been hitting my daughter."

I wanted to go home so bad. I would do anything to be able to have my father hold me and tell me its okay while my mother brushed my hair. I wanted to cry in their arms.

Suddenly the feeling came again. Just like the last time I felt the odd sensations flowing through my body. What was this?
