Dream Lover

By Midnight Dreamer

Chapter 01:

Little girls around the world are all raised to believe in fairytales. Gallant knights on white horses slaying dragons, Prince Charming coming to wake his sleeping love with true loves’ first kiss. A handsome prince rescuing his fare maiden from the clutches of a wicked stepmother or evil witch. They all ended the same. The lovers road off into the sunset to live their happily ever after.

Isabella or Bella as she preferred to be called was no different. In fact her mother would read her stories every night before bed. Filling her head with dreams of what a perfect man should be. Handsome and strong, loving and fearless. He would rescue her when she needed it the most, sweeping her off her feet and riding off with her to live happily for the rest of their lives.

If was her freshman year in high school when she thought she found said white knight. She was being picked on my several of the upperclassman and was almost in tears. When suddenly out of what appeared to be nowhere a boy came to stand in front of her. Protecting her from the onslaught of demeaning torment she was dealing with. After chasing her tormentors away he turned to her, using his fingers to lift her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. There before her stood the most gorgeous boy she had ever seen. His eyes a burning emerald green, his mop of unruly bronze colored hair, perfect nose and cheek bones. he stood at least 6 inches taller than her. She was lost in his eyes. Until he spoke, his velvet like voice breaking the spell he held over her.

“Are you alright? They didn’t hurt you did they?”

Stunned for a moment, she breathed in deeply before replying.

“Yes…I’m alright. No they didn’t hurt me.” she stammered out.

“What’s your name?”

“B…Bella.”

“Well Bella, I’m Edward.”

“Hello.”

“Hi.”

They both stood there awkwardly for a moment before they both broke out in laughter.

“Well now that was not how i planned on meeting a pretty girl but i guess i will take what i can get.” Edward said to her.

“Thank you. For saving me.” she said as the blush creeped up her cheeks.

“You’re welcome. Why may i ask did i need to save you in the first place?”

“It’s no big thing. They do that all the time. I’m small and clumsy and they find it funny to harass me on a daily basis. Tripping me, knocking my books to the ground.”

“Well then I’m glad I came along when I did.”

“So am I.”

And that is how it all started. They grew closer over the next several months. A friendship that would bloom into a budding romance over the next couple of years.

By their senior year they were inseparable. They were voted cutest couple, homecoming king and queen, and later prom king and queen. Their love seemed to grow and know no bounds. It was just after graduation that Edward proposed to Bella. Bella was thrilled and immediately said yes.

The engagement lasted just over a year. They got married over winter break their freshman year in college. Moving out of the dorms and into an apartment just off campus. Everything seemed perfect. Bella thought she had got her fairytale. Her handsome prince charming. But what Fairytale doesn’t have a twist in fate?
