This is an idea I've been kicking around for a while, writing a fic in Esme's perspective, with a not-so-usual pairing later on. This is really just an introduction to see if people are interested in hearing more.

Stephenie Meyer owns all, including my heart on ice in a cooler.

I was devastated. Completely and utterly devastated. How could I not be? I had lost my mate. The one I was to be with for the rest of eternity. When you're a vampire, you never really prepare yourself for the death of your mate. You're pretty much invincible, and nothing can harm you, and you're together forever. But the fight between my family and the Volturi changed everything. The weeks leading up to it I tried my hardest to prepare, but I couldn't help but feel that we would override them. I was so wrong. We had won the battle, yes, but the casualties were absolutely devastating. That fateful night I lost part of my family, and several friends. Kate was gone, as were Benjamin and Zafrina. I lost a daughter and I lost my husband, my soul mate. It was the most depressing and overwhelming moment of my entire existence, and I felt so completely and utterly…empty. What was the point of living with nothing to live for anymore? Alice and Carlisle were gone, and I was left alone. Not entirely alone, for I had the rest of my children, but it wasn't the same. It never would be. Once or twice I thought about going back to the horrid Volturi and begging for death, but thoughts of Carlisle stopped me. He wouldn't want me to do this, not in a million years, and so I didn't. I knew I had to stay alive for my remaining family, and continue guiding them in all they needed. All I had to do was keep it together for the rest of eternity. And I could do that…right?

Please please please let me know what you think! If you'd like to read more, review so I can get writing!

I'd like to take a second and plug my story for Harry Potter called "S.P.E.W. Is For Lovers." If you're a fan of HP, then please check it out on my page and review!
