A/N: I started this story about a year ago but I wasn't able to finish at the time. Now that the movie Eclipse is out I decided to give it one more try.

This story is focused on Jacob and Renesmee. Jacob is the main narrator but other characters will also narrate the story at some point.

This only a preface. I'm still working on the fist chapter. I hope you'll enjoy.


Shadows Unravel

Love to fault is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined and breaks all chains from every mind.

William Shakespeare

Preface

And so… she did it…

Stubborn as she was, I should have known she would be able to keep her promise…

I will keep my heart beating. I'm strong enough for that…

She kept her heart beating… for him… for that creature growing inside of her – that thing that sucked life out of her… my Bella…

And now…

Happily ever after…

Even though I used all the strength in me I wasn't able to chase them away – those words echoed in my head over and over again and suddenly forever seemed to be long enough… too long even for me; especially for me.

I was cursed… Befriended by the beast pulsating inside of me... I was enslaved by her forever loving him.

I wasn't certain of what motivated me – what changed or awaken. All I knew was that I felt something rising inside of me, something primal… inhuman. As I watched the leech cradling the creature in her arms – feeding it – my skin burned as if I had been set on fire. Hatred filled my entire being. I wanted to kill it – I had to.

It would only take me a few seconds or so. I felt the trembling in me fastening – I was ready.

I felt my eyes darkening in hate, in anticipation, and I launched forward only to freeze in motion.

An unknown heat emanated from and through me. I came undone… She was looking at me
