Chapter 4: The Taste Of Fear

Chapter 4: The Taste of Fear.

Bella's POV ...

I work with a shrill cry. My eyes shot open and I soon came to immediate awareness of my surroundings.

I'm home. In my own bed.

My heart was pounding out of my chest and my breath short and fast, I sat up and looked around my bedroom.

''Nothing's here, no one. ''I whispered to myself as I shivered and rub my arms to warm myself despite the warmth of my bedroom.

I was chilled to the bone, but happy to be here in my bed Edward wanted me to stay with his family last night but I stuck to my guns and wanted to go home. Even though Caius was coming, I just wanted to go home. Edward disappointed me.

I saw as I pulled myself out of bed and rose to my feet. Stretching slightly, I was still tired from tossing and turning from the nightmare. I seem to be having too many of them lately, the nights haunted me. I thought about last night's dream as I made my way to the kitchen. Truthfully, I didn't want to sleep anymore even though I was tired, the nightmares returned.

The red lady is there, and she brings with her violence, and fear. Also, I felt a yearning for something or someone. in the night terrors, I feel something evil lurking in the shadows. it might be the fear of my impending demise because Caius would surely make sure I died or changed, but no, it felt more like a dark presence and impending doom. Every night the unknown entity felt closer, more suffocating. A new element entered the dream last night. It was someone else in danger and all I can think about was Edward or Jacob. They always defended me, and it might be one of them. I know one thing, I cared for this one a great deal.

I shook out of my musings then went to the fridge and poured myself some orange juice and made toast. I didn't feel like too much today and soon made my way up to the shower. I decided to at least enjoy the comfort of a hot shower and put my fear out of my mind.

Caius's POV...

I just flooded in frenzy out of the plane and almost left my cars behind as they carried our bags. With an extra bulk and weight, they had to carry, I flew ahead almost a mile. I was not used to my heightened emotions coming now to the surface so raw and violent. I felt my mate in danger has the night pass. My whole being was humming with energy pent up inside from having to sit all those long hours. It was unbearable. I wanted to just jump from the plane, and it took all my discipline to remain. I growled in annoyance at my guard because they were too slow. Ugh, I wish Marcus had explained to me and warn me about the intensity of emotions. I may have had romantic feelings for Athena door but this! It was untamed, exploding from my soul. If I had a soul that is. I could believe I really had one after this! It was so hard to keep my composure, I felt like I could lose control at any given time.

''Come on morons, get the lead out, move it! ''I shout back at them, A mile away.

''As fast as possible, master! ''Dimitri calls back in grant says he slung the strap from the bag that slipped from his then shoulders back up.

I had to get a grip.

Come on Caius don't let it get to you. You have a mission vampire, so let's get it done! I say to myself to get myself together.

Shit! how was I supposed to keep myself together and be in control of my life. It's just been upheaved by a little voice in my head. During the night it was worse, I felt her emotions. So afraid, so alone. I feel as though I could come undone with all the love feeling my resolve. I will save her!

I stop so they could catch up to me. They arrived as a sudden woosh cause my cloak to bellow about. We were now on the edge of the quaint little town of Forks. Bella's town and my old friend Carlisle. I decided to seek him out and stay with him. I know he will open his home to us, especially if I promise to hunt elsewhere. Though I know my mission and it will remain my priority, I will try to find her period the one my soul calls to.

We make our way up to the Cullen's residence. Ah, what a charming building so beautiful. I'm sure I will be comfortable here. Though I think my presence here will be felt as fear. I chuckled to myself. Yes, and they should fear it, especially Edward Cullen. I step up to the door but found that I did not have to knock. The door opened to us and there stood Carlisle.

''Hello old friend, may we converse inside, it's been a long journey? ''I ask with a smile gracing my lips.
