Chapter One

BPOV

I flew up from the bed sweating. Another nightmare, well not exactly. Flashbacks is more accurate. Damn dreams, thought I was rid of them for good. I lay back down on the bed and closed my eyes and thought back to the nightmare.

Dream / Flashback

Men in white jackets with needles and syringes filled with liquid metal. They drugged me down and tied me to a table and lowered me down into a tank of water.
I do not know how but they had covered all my bones with a kind of metal. I remember that I felt my nails grow longer, like daggers. They cut through the metal and glass in the tank.
Men with guns shooting at me when I tried to flee.

End Flashback

I hated having those dreams again. I hoped Professor X had blocked them from coming at night, but it doesn't look like it worked. Fortunately, Edward had not been here tonight, he was hunting with his family.

I did not like lying to them, it just happened. Edward thought I was shy, clumsy and sweet. It was not exactly true. Just as I was not really Charlie and Renee's daughter. The professor had planted it in their heads that I was their biological daughter. I needed a vacation from the X-Mansion. So I was Isabella Swan, who moved to her father when she was 17. Something that is far from my true age.

I looked at the clock, 7:42 am. Time to get up. I went and took a shower. After I was done I went and got dressed. Jeans, t-shirt and vans. Not exactly my style but a cheaper and less sexy style. The reason I dressed different was to look younger than I really was. I really missed my leather jacket. Sigh ..

I went down to breakfast, Edward was coming home from hunting soon, too. The plan was to spend this Sunday with him and the Cullens. I really loved them.

Esme, so caring and she loved all the Cullen kids as her own, including me. She really was like a mother to me. I couldn't remember how my own mother was like.

Carlisle, the blonde vampire who saved the people instead of eating them. He cared about everyone. I had great respect for him and I looked up to him. He was really was my father in my eyes.

Emmett was a big teddy bear. Funny and had my wicked sense of humor. Loyal and protected his family with everything he had. No one gave him much credit and did not think he was too smart. But I knew better, he chose to be a clown in the family and enjoyed that. He held the family cheerful and happy.

The beautiful Rosalie and I had probably would have been good friends if she had known how I really was. She needed someone she could respect. And shy, clumsy Bella was not the kind of person she respected. Well, after I went to Italy to save Edward, it seemed that she tolerated me more. She was not an easy person, but when she first saw you as a friend, she was really loyal and protected you with her life.

Poor Jasper, nobody had any faith in him. They thought he was weak when he actually was the second strongest in the house outside of Carlisle. The truth was that he had to endure with the bloodlust of 6 other vampires other than himself. Had he had more faith in himself, he would have had it much better. Every time someone questioned him, he doubted himself because he felt what they felt. And every time he thought of human blood, Edward and Alice were there to stop him. He never got a chance to correct itself. I wish we could get to know each other, but they didn't trust him alone in a room alone with me.

Alice was like an energizer bunny on steroids. Jumping up and down, never at rest. Always happy and ready to go shopping. She chose too girly clothes for my taste, but if she had wanted to go shopping in my style, I had been with her voluntarily. She was one of my best friends.

Then there was Edward, the polite, moody and over-thinking vampire I love. He always thought he knew best and no one could prove him wrong. Since he could read thoughts, he was sure he knew best, which is not true. It was one of the things I hate in our relationship. He decided something and did not ask me what I thought. He lied to me in the woods and used the self esteem issues he thought I had against me. Tried to get me to not fight him instead of saying the truth that he did it to protect me. He destroyed a part of our relationship that day, it would never be the same again.

I was not sure if he could cope with the real me when it came time to tell them. I could not keep it hidden much longer, since the dreams came more frequently. In a week, if it got worse I would tell the truth.

I heard someone come running up the porch. It was light steps so I knew at once that it was Edward. He knocked on the door.
"Come on Edward" I said from the kitchen in a normal voice, since I knew he would hear me.

"How did you know that it was me, love?" he asked, confused.

Shit I had not thought of that. How do I explain it? Aha! "Well, I knew you would be here soon and if it wasn't you, then they would just knock again" I said with a smile.

"Oh, right. Well how was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?"

"Well I went down to La Push to be with Jake and the pack. I helped Emily with cooking and stuff" I said.

"Bella! I told you that you should not be around them, they are dangerous beasts."

"Cut it out Edward, they are no more dangerous than you. Plus, I can take care of myself."

"They're werewolves Bella, you are only human, I want you to stop going there. No more trips to La Push."

"No Edward, it's not up for discussion. They are my friends and I can visit them if I want. Maybe we should go to your house now. I have an appointment with Emmett."

He sighed. "All right, let's go. But this discussion is not over." We locked up the house and drove the Volvo.
