Prologue
Bella entered the room, with Edward at her side, her chocolate eyes searching the room for an answer to the tenseness that was clear in the faces and bodies of the two that stood in front of her. She hadn't known the Cullens long, but she knew them well enough, and had been through enough with them to know when something was awry, or about to become just that.
She sat next to Edward on the white couch that filled the center of the Cullens' living room. His ice cold, pale hand reached for hers and held it in a very gentle grip, sure of just how to touch her and hold her now without having had one incident of hurting her. His topaz eyes finally turned to meet her. He heard her heart racing a nervous rhythm and smiled the smile he always gave her when he was worried – but was trying his best not to show it.
Bella looked at Alice, who was standing next to her soul mate, Jasper. The small, gold-eyed woman smiled uneasily at Bella, already knowing the questions she was prepared to ask. "You mother, Bella…" Alice began. Bella's eyebrows slid together in confusion immediately, even though she realized the statement hadn't been completed. "Bella, do you have any siblings," Edward questioned, deciding to simply finish his sister's earlier notion. Bella shook her head and tucked some of her dark brown hair behind her ear, "No, I'm the only one… Why?"
"You have a sister," Alice answered, pausing, as if trying to figure out how to tell her the next bit of information she had to tell her. "And she's coming here, to Forks," Alice finally added.
"But… That can't be. My mom wasn't pregnant…"
"Well, she's not that much younger than you. Only a year, I believe. She'll be here soon."
"Wait… Is something… Bad supposed to happen to her?" Bella asked.
There was silence, and the worried smile Edward had given her before crossed his lips, again, and gave away the answer. Whether he'd intended to or not. She swallowed hard, her eyes meeting Jasper and Alice's now sympathetic expressions.
