the journey continues Book Four

Edward was pulled into Bella's dream world

         Epov

I found Bella screaming at the top of her lungs. “NOOOOO! NOT HIM I LOVE HIM!” Then I felt what was wrong what was affecting her. Then her shield dropped and I seen what was going through her head. “Shit! Anthea I need you now. Tell Craigo and Tarzan to follow at safe distance.”

She lands and I scoop up Bella into my arms and climb up on Anthea. “Take us back to your homeland now. The darkness is affecting Bella.” I told Anthea.

“I hope she will be alright.” Anthea tells me. “She will be once I get her back. Wait a minute. Toothless come.” He comes running as fast as he can and climbs up and settles on my shoulder.

Anthea takes off and puts a shield up which means she's tapped into Bella powers. “She's weak Edward.” I look down at Bella and take my hand and gently brush some hair out of her face.

“Come on baby stay with me please!” I told her. I had to send Craigo back for the queen and Starry. Since Tarzan coming back with us. They should be on there way soon.” She told me.

It took us a couple of days to get there and when I climbed off with Bella in my arms I stopped dead in my tracks. There was a castle made out of the cave.

“It was always there Edward. It was just hidden from seeing eyes.” I just nodded and followed Anthea inside.

“This is your's and the Bella's bedroom.” I turned and looked at Anthea. “Thank you!” As soon as I lay her down I will deal will Mason and soon as he goes to bed I will deal with Bella.” She nods and I walk into our bedroom.

I was in awe at how it looked. I gently laid Bella down on the bed. I bent and kissed her on the forehead. I walked out to deal with Mason.

I took him out of the basket and held him close to me. “Let's get you changed and fed buddy. It will be dark soon.” I told him.

 All I can see is those images in my head. “It’s your fault he is not alive.” Something not right here. Edward has to be alive. He can not be dead.

 “Oh but you could not break down your walls to save him could you?” I turned around to see the black smoke dragon.

“You can't be here.” I told him. “Oh but I am.” I started to scream when I realize what was happening. When I took off Edwards rings the darkness some how affected me.

 I had just put Mason to bed and walked out and noticed everyone just got back so I decided to talk to them and explain what happened.

“Edward did Bella do anything before she came into contact with the darkness?” The fairy queen asked me.

I thought for a second and then remember the rings and pulled them out of my pocket. “She gave me back these. But told me after the mission was over to ask her hand in marriage again with her as a princess with this ring but we will not use the wedding bands because we have dragon wedding bands now.” I told her.

 “Can I see that engagement ring please?” I gave it to her. Her eyes light up. “You put a promise spell on the ring without even knowing it Edward. The minute she took it off she was well unprotected from darkness.” She explained to me.

“NNNNNOOOO, GGGEEETTT AAAWWWAAYYY FFFRRROOMM MMMEE! HHHEEE’SS NNNOOTT DDEEAADD!”” We all look at each other for a minute.

The fairy queen picks up my hand and puts the engagement ring in my hand.  “Put it back on her Edward. It's the only way to save her from the darkness. Go we got Mason.” I took off running to our bedroom and walked in and shut the door behind me.

 I walked over to the bed and lifted up her left hand and placed the ring back where it belonged. I got her undressed and into a nightgown and covered her up.

I changed into some pajamas myself and climbed in beside her and pulled her closed to me until I drifted off to sleep.

I was pulled into Bella’s dream world and I stood there a moment when I saw the black smoke dragon and it was talking to Bella.

“Oh but yes your beloved is dead because of you.” He told her. “Wait they don't know about Mason. So there messing with her mind. Plus when I put back on her ring I was able to be pulled into her dream world. But he doesn't see me.” I said to myself.

I thought back to the night I gave her the ring.

     In Bella pov

We open up the gift and I only had gotten one and it was for Edward. It was nothing special I made it for him while he was gone that day. It was a bracelet.

He looked at me confused when he picked it up. "When did you?"

"Just open it." I watched as he opened it. He sat there and looked at it. Then looked up at me. He got up and walked over to me.

He kneeled down in front of me. "Help me with it!" I tied it on his wrist. "This is the best gift anyone could ever give me."

"You like it?"

"I love it because you made it and it came from your heart." A tear fell from my eye.

We finish opening up the gifts and we head for dinner.

Once back upstairs I was laying in bed waiting for Edward thinking.

"I have one more gift for you." I sit up to see Edward standing there with a small gift wrapped in his hand.

He crawls on the bed and hands it to me. I open it and it was another box. I slowly open that and it was a ring with a green heart in the middle.

"Edward what  is this?"

"It's a promise ring. The heart matches your necklace. But it's also  my promise to you that one day when the time is right and when were ready that someday it will be replaced with a wedding ring. Because I know in my heart we belong to each other forever."

I looked at Edward. "Are you proposing to me?" I asked him. "I guess I am!" He smiled my favorite smile.

"Well then let me think about that a minute." Edward crossed his arms in front of him. "Are you going to answer or just sit there?"

"Ummm, sit here!" I giggled. "ISABELLA MARIE SWAN YOU ARE SO DAMN STUBBORN!"

"I know that's why you love me so damn much  and yes."

"Yeah that's one of the.... Wait did you just say yes?"

"Uh huh! EEEK!" Edward picks me up off the bed and twirls  me around. He sets me down slowly and takes the ring and slides it on my finger. Then he hugs me again and presses his lips to mine.

===end of memory===

I look down at my wrist at the bracelet Bella  made and I think about the promise I made her. “Oh my god! She did a spell on the bracelet and didn't even know it. A promise like I did with the ring. There connected. By protection. The strongest kind that can not be broken. True love! When she took it off..” I closed my eyes.

“She didn't even know.” Then I felt something in my hand and opened it. “What the! I put this back on Bella finger.” I thought.

I was taken out of my thoughts. “STAY BACK!” I snap my head up to Bella when she yelled that and the black smoke dragon was approaching her.

I made my move and pulled Bella behind me.
