Not Only in My Dreams

Rosalie's Secret

Y/N POV

I woke up to light streaming in through the glass wall of an unfamiliar room. The light gave it a peaceful angelic look, as if things were in slow motion. Feeling a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waste I snuggled into the cold body that was attached.

The cold was comforting, it felt safe... My eyes shot open. Cold. Unfamiliar room. Last night... oh my god last night. Rosalie... she was there... she-she threw those disgusting men off me. She ripped them off with a Hercules like strength. She almost didn't seem human. So, unfamiliar, but familiar at the same time. I need to get out of here. I need to think.

Shooting up into a sitting position, I think Rosalie sensed my startled awakening because she too started to wake up. "Are you alright?" she said putting her hand on my shoulder, " Y/N... hey what's wrong?"

Wrapping my arms around my knees I turned to look at her. 'I have to get out of here' "Rosalie, I'm so sorry about last night, I'm sorry if I was any bother. I didn't mean to fall asleep, I'll-I'll just go now" I said hurriedly.

Getting up to leave the room, Rosalie grabs my arm gently. "wait. You don't have to leave. And you were not a bother. Those douche bags that tried to hurt you were, no, ARE the problem! I should hunt them down for what they were going to do to you!" she said, her chest heaving. I've seen her mad, I don't really want to witness it again.

"Rose. hey calm down. It's fine, nothing happened, it's over."

"Nothing happened?? Y/N something did happen and its definitely not okay!"

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT. Just leave it alone Rosalie." I said trying to leave once again.

"I know what you're feeling right now... just please talk to me Y/N." she pleaded.

"How could you possibly know what I'm feeling right now??" I spat as I yanked my arm from her grasp.

"Because it did happen to me! Nobody was there to stop them from doing what they did to me..." she said dejectedly walking towards her balcony.

Following her out to the balcony, "Rose... I'm so sorry... I didn't know..."

ROSALIE'S POV

"It was a long time ago, I mean it feels as if it were a long time ago." I said. Looking up to meet her eyes, she looked as if she wanted to me to continue. If sharing my horror story helps her through hers, then I will relive that night over a million times for her. "I was walking home one night when I ran into my fiancé at the time, and his drunk buddies.  Royce, thought that he needed to show me off to his friends." I said with a tragic smile. "They got too carried away, and left me there to die. Carlisle was the one to save me. I owe everything to him. Carlisle made me into the person I am today." Y/N doesn't need to know the last few bits of that story quite yet. "That's why I should go rip those guys heads off for trying to do what they wanted to do to you! They deserve to be in pain."

"Rose... I'm so sorry, but hey listen you saved me, I'm fine I'm right here" I felt her hand on my shoulder. Letting out the breath I knew I didn't actually need I relaxed knowing she is in fact safe, and right in front of my eyes.

All the sudden my door bursts open and in runs, at an abnormally fast 'human' speed, Alice. Rolling my eyes, I turn to face my sister.

Y/N POV

'HOLY SHIT" One second I'm gazing into the beautiful eyes that have haunted my dreams and the next I'm jumping in front of Rosalie to guard her from an intruder. "Alice what the hell!? I thought I was going to have to go all ninja or some shit!" I turned to look back a Rosalie and noticed where her hands were gripping the railing there was a dent.

"Y/N! You're okay. I was so worried about you," She said squishing me in a famous Alice Cullen hug "sailor mouth and all. Although don't let Esme hear you speak like that."

"Alice, don't you know how to knock?" Rosalie said, and I could just tell she was rolling her eyes.

"Well, you wouldn't let me in to come see Y/N, now would you? No. As I recall you said you wanted to be alone with her, to 'make sure she was alright'" Alice said in a mocking tone.

Smirking back at Rosalie, I caught her once wide eyes travel to the ground. "Well, if you must know Alice the alone time really did me well. I'm alllll good now."

"Glad to hear that! Now let's have that rematch, shall we?" I hear Emmett, standing in the doorway with a way too cocky grin on his face.

"Oh, you're on!" Grabbing Rosalie's hand, I followed the big guy out of her room and down the stairs.

Once we reached the living room a beautiful woman was walking out of the kitchen. This must be Esme.

"Hello Y/N, I'm Mrs. Cullen but you can call me Esme" She said with a warm smile embracing me in a light hug.

"Hello Esme, it's so nice to finally meet you. Thank you for allowing me to stay here last night."

"Oh, it's no problem at all dear, I've already called your father to let him know and he said stay as long as you like. And I made breakfast if you're hungry."

"Oh, thank you so much." I said digging in to the beautiful layout of breakfast foods.

"COME ONNN, we were going to have our rematch!" I hear Emmett pouting.

"Emmett! Let her eat." Rosalie said giving him the death glare as she sat down next to me at the kitchen table.

"Whatever, I'm going to go play single player." He said as he sulked away.

"No amount of practice is going to stop me from whipping your ass Emmett!" I said loud enough for him to hear.

"Language." Esme said in a scolding tone but her face lit up with a smirk. Rosalie busted up laughing.

"You just love messing with him don't you?" she says as her laugh starts to die down.

"It's the best." I said with the biggest smile on my face. I'll ask Rosalie about my concerning observations later on. I feel safe with her, I trust her, so for now I'll eat and then kick Emmett's ass.

Author's Note:

Ha! Bet you thought the secret was going to be the whole, "I'm a vampire" thing. Nope! Guess you'll have to keep reading to get to that excitement. :)
