Something was moving in the dark and it seemed to watch my every move. I looked around to find a clue to where I was . . . . . . . . .then from the corner from my eye I see a bright light coming slowly closer and closer but it was not warm light but just cold, deadly cold. I just seemed to remember pain . . . . . . . and sharp memories seemed to pierce into me like thousands of little needles. And I felt like a distance storm was getting closer every day. But then I awoke. I open my eyes to a dim lit room, the light just barely shining through the thick cream colored curtains that matched the light blue colored walls to my room. My head was spinning and my eyes were reacting to the light. I slowly got up making sure that my head would stop swimming. My face was covered in sweat and it seemed that I was crying not long ago. As I open the thick curtains I look outside it was just another normal day, the clouds light and puffy in the sky the wind lightly blowing in the trees. Yes it was just another normal day in the small town of spoons. My name is Alexa Bloom and I am in 12^th grade. I sigh knowing that this was just going to be another normal day boring day because today was a school day, but at least it was a Friday and winter break was right after so it was something to look forward to. I drag myself in to the small bathroom next to my room and close the door. I look in the mirror and I see my completion I have a fare face but I have lighter skin than most people, and the weird thing is I play sports out in the sun all day but I still get this light color to my skin. I look down at my tall medium frame for a body; I am still growing so my body is out of proportions. I have long lean legs a medium waist and a skinny top. But one thing that seemed the weirdest to me was my eyes, my eyes where regular dark brown like most peoples, but when you look closer I have small green specks embedded in the dark brown parts of my eyes, and I noticed that when I get mad the green specks seem to get bigger. I decided to just put out all my thoughts on how I look out of my head and to just look forward to winter break. I got a shower and dried my hair. I decide to put on a pair of casual jeans a red sweatshirt with pair of loose laced sneakers. I take a quick glance in my bedroom mirror as I grab my backpack and run down the stairs with an even pace. As I get closer to the end of the long dark paneled floored hallway I hear the usual chatter of the TV and my parents running all around the house trying to get ready for work. I make sure I stay out of their way as I make it into the kitchen; I grab a granola bar and a bottle of water. As I step outside into the brisk winter air, a light layer of snow is on the ground and the trees seem to be in a deep sleep. I take a deep breath of the winter air. I walk over to the big old deep blue truck, that’s parked at an angle because of our long winding driveway. I slowly climb into the big clunky truck and I turn on the heat to maximum, I reach over and turn on the radio and even though the drive to the high-school  wasn’t a long drive, I always loved to listen to music it just seemed to wake me up no matter what mood I was in. As I turn up the volume I noticed the song, it was an upbeat song and it had very good rhythm it was a song called animal I have become by a group called Three days grace. By the time I got to the high-school I was relaxed and ready for the day. As I waited in the line of cars to find a parking space for school I started to get restless, and then it hit me, that dream I had last night somehow I remembered it. I was all starting to make sense. This was not the first time I was having weird dreams. The dreams started when I had moved away from my family. Then memories of my family started to flood through my mind. Pictures of my grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. . . . . . . . cousins . . . . . . . one name seemed to stand out from the rest, it was my cousin’s name and her name is Isabella Swan. But everyone just calls her Bella. Even though we are cousins we acted like we are sisters, ever since we where little we would always stand up for each other. She is the same age as I am but she’s a little thinner and smaller than me. One bad quality she has is her clumsiness sometimes it’s hard to be around her because you’re afraid that she will all of a sudden trip and fall on you, it’s sad how it can be so dangerous around her. But I always look past that. We have been through thick and thin together when we were little. But after I moved I never really saw her again after that. But then it hit me again that thing that was watching me in my dreams was, I quickly lose my train of thought by the beeping of the cars behind me, I look up to see that there is nobody in front of me I must have been so deep in thought that I didn’t notice the cars move on, I blush a deep red and quickly put my foot on the gas to find a car space as fast as I could. It takes me minuet to stop blushing. As I step into the brisk air my muscles seem to relax and I make my way to the high-school entrance. The day seems to go by in a fog and before I know it its lunch and I’m making my way to the lunch table. I sit down with a bottle of water and a pack of gum in my hand. I’m not that hungry today so I just stick to the water. I look over the table to see all my usual friends sitting around the lunch table. At lunch I don’t talk much I just sort of daydream about things that I might do later. But my thoughts were disturbed by my friend Lorey which I have been friends with since fifth grade. Her dark brown straight hair hung down over her shoulders and I seemed to fit her heart shaped face just right. “What are you planning on doing after school today?” I look back at her bewildered; she knew that I was more of the stay home girl that liked to relax after school. “I guess I am just going to go home why?” curious as I was this was nothing like Lorey's personality and I was wondering what she was up to.  “Oh, well I was just wondering because I was planning on going out to go see a movie.” “Do you want to come?” I sat their wondering could this be the same girl that I never saw outside of school. “Sure I guess, ok cool” then I will meet you at the cinema parking lot at about 6:15” But before I had time to answer, the lunch bell rang telling us that lunch was over and that we didn’t have much time to get to our classes. Again the rest of the day went by me in a fog and I was in the car line before I knew it. As I made my way back home I decided that before I leave I should try to give Bella a call. I pull my truck in to our long winding driveway and take out my cell phone, it rang five times and I heard the familiar voice recording of Chief Swan he was always a kind and caring man he was Bella’s father, I sighed knowing that I couldn’t talk to Bella right there. I left a message saying hi and that I just wanted to chat with Bella to see how things were going and that maybe we could meet up some time soon. I quickly did my homework and left around 5:30 so that I would have just enough time to get there. As I pulled into the big open parking lot I noticed a small group near the entrance of the cinema. I parked the truck as close as I could; I awkwardly jumped out of the truck and start walking toward the cinema door. I heard a familiar voice call my name, it was Lorey then I suddenly noticed the group. It was a bunch of girls that I knew at school and some of them I was friends with. Standing next to Lorey was a girl named Maria who had dark black hair and glasses’, standing next to her was Makila who had long wavy black hair, another was Faith she was very small and had mousy brown hair and finally Katelyn, and she has very long brown that almost hit her waist. We talked for a couple of minutes about school and then the movie and we decided on how good it’s going to be, and then finally walked into the cinema deciding  that the movie was going to be ok, but it was defiantly going to be nice with the hot guys and the action in it . As we walked to the north side of the cinema I wasn’t feeling so good my stomach was twisting around, maybe it was because I didn’t have anything to eat. I ignored it and decided that I would act like I was having the best time of my life. As the movie started it was almost like you could relate to the story even though the story was based on a fantasy, it was a very moving story about a very dangerous and forbidden love and how love could last through anything. By the time the movie was over I was crying, the story was so moving and just the end of the story made me think about love. I look over to see that I was not the only one crying and thinking about the movie. We went to the bathrooms to wash up and to wipe away the black mascara running down our faces. As we walked to the mall on the other side of the street to go get something to eat the movie seemed to keep running over in my mind, the movie was about an ordinary girl that ends up falling in love with a vampire, but the vampire leaves her because he is afraid that he might kill her by accident. But as time passes he misses her and he comes back, but he then learns that she now has also fallen in love with a werewolf.  The end of the movie was the most chilling part of all; the girl can’t decide what to do with the two guys that she loves deeply, but she gets attacked by a newborn vampire army and the vampire and the werewolf die together while protecting her. Years go by and the girls memory seem to fade about her two lovers, but just then in all the midst of it all the girl disappears and is never seen again. As time moves on there have been rumors that the girl was seen around her home town, some say that she looked like a vampire and some say that she looked like a werewolf. And some say that she had two kid’s one boy and one girl but they did not look the same almost like they had two different fathers. I kept running the movie over and over in my mind. By the time we got to the mall it was 8:00. I was shocked as we walked through the food court entrance it was so packed, it was like every where their where people and that there was hardly any walking space. But then it hit me, it is almost Christmas so everyone is trying to get in their last minute shopping. I squeezed through the crowds of people to find a place to sit down. After waiting an extra 10 minutes in the food line, we got our order of food and quickly ate our food. We decided to go and look around even though we wouldn’t be able to get around that much. We walked around the mall for about 40mins and by then we were on the second floor of the mall, we were making our way to the stairs to the exit but it was hard because the people where pushing and shoving. They were pushing use into the safety railing on the second floor but then before I could even think on how we are going to make it out alive, I saw Maria starting to slip over the railing but before I could even yell out her name a man with a heavy black coat and hooded grabbed her by the shirt before she fell. I felt a rush of relief when she was pulled away from the railing and was placed on a small bench on the opposite wall. I stood there, my mind in all of a sudden jumble I took me a minute to understand what just happened and how it just flashed before my eyes. I ran over to Maria as fast as I could. She was alright, just a little shaken up. I looked around to try and find the man that just saved Marias life, but he was no were to be seen. He must have been lost in the crowd. The rest of the night just seemed to go by in a blur and before I knew it, the day was over and I was walking out into the mall parking lot. Everyone was crowded around Maria to make sure that she was ok. As I turned the corner I just see a black flash before my eyes. It was a man’s black coat then it hit me that was the man who had just saved Maria’s life. Hey! I yelled, but as soon as I yelled at him he just walked away faster. Somehow he managed to walk with such grace like he was half angel. It was almost like he didn’t want to be noticed. I just let it go, if the man didn’t want to be noticed than I would let him be. “Who was that you were yelling at?” asked Faith as she turned the corner. “I don’t know”. Faith and I just watched the man walk away and disappear into the dark. As I drove back to the house I kept running the scene with Maria through my mind, I felt like I was missing something. The long day just seemed to tire me out so I just decided to forget what just happened and just go to bed. I started to drift into a deep sleep a dream came back to me, and then I remembered that thing that was watching me, it was my cousin Bella but she was not human. A small chill ran up my spine that was weird, why would I have dreams of Bella not being human. Then I started to think about bonds, they can be kind of funny at times and sometimes they can hold you back. Like blood ties to the heart. We all have different feelings to each other. But we each hold something dear to use that is always near to our heart. Feelings will never go away for someone; they will always be buried in your heart some place deep. Bella . . . . . . just the thought of her name made my heart start to race faster. I was drifting deeper and deeper into my dreams and I seemed to drift deeper into my heart. The dream from last night showed up in my dreams again. It was the same, the light that seemed to be deadly cold, and just kept dragging me down to some dark place. That thing was still watching me just watching almost like waiting for something to happen. Then I remembered that thing was cousin. It was so sad. Why would I think of my cousin as such a dead person? Pain and fear just seemed to ripple through out my body. Then all of a sudden I heard a weird growl behind me. I turned to see some type of large dog slash wolf it was scary looking. I just stared at me like it was trying to say something to me almost like it wanted my help. I wondered why this thing would be in my dreams. Then another second later it was running away from me like I just scared it away. But then I could see why. My cousin or thing was smiling at it like it was food or something. It was scary to see the glow of the smile by the faint light of the deadly light in my dreams. And then I looked up at the deadly gold eyes, they seemed like they could pierce through any thing around it. A low beeping sound woke me up, it was my alarm clock. I slowly get up making sure that my head would stop swimming. Are these dreams ever going to stop! I wonder.
