AN: guys I know I have 3 other stories going on right now, but I had MAJOR writers block. I'm talking staring at the screen for like 30 min and then writing a sentence, erasing it, and then staring at the screen for another 20 min before I fell asleep in front of the computer. Sorry, I needed to write SOMETHING so this is what came out.

DISCLAIMER: I NEVER HAVE NOR EVER WILL OWN THE WONDERFUL TWILIGHT.

Epilogue

Edward POV (flashback from 1910 ((during 1918))):

I was nine years old when I met Isabella Swan. No one was as wealthy as my family but the Swans were a well off respected family, two parents (Renee and Charlie Swan) with an only-child: Isabella.

One day Alice went walking on the beach and saw this Isabella Swan girl walking on the shore, an expression of pain far beyond her years plastered on her face. All of the sudden the girl sat down calmly on a washed-up log and wept cold and bitter tears. (I don't know why Alice didn't go immediately to comfort her but Alice claimed it was so private that it seemed incredibly rude to try to approach her.) The girl sat there sobbing for the longest of times, but eventually her tears stopped, as all tears must. The girl was just sitting for a moment on the log when she stiffened her back rigid and turned acutely to look at whatever was behind her. Whatever was there must have been terrifying because the girl ran, swiftly and efficiently for her age down the beach, her footprints t him only proof that anyone had ever been there at all. Alice was stunned and worried and afraid about whatever it was that the poor girl was running from that she did some running of her own.

When Alice got back to our house, panting and out of breath, I begged her to tell me what had happened. She glared at me until she could talk and t hen told me her strange tale. We went to the beach (in vain) to find her, and when that failed we asked practically everyone in town if they had seen her. No one was able to answer that question but we were able to find out that, as of last night, Isabella Swan was an orphan.

AN: hope you enjoyed! Please review! Be honest: what did u like about it (if u liked it at all) too much drama, not enough mystery? I want it all!
