(A few days before Breaking Dawn)

With a small smile playing on my lips I looked at all the presents that had been arriving to the Cullen's mansion the last week. It was only two days left before my and Edward´s wedding. Even though I had been negative towards the whole idea in the beginning, I was extremely happy. That I, Bella Swan, had been able to capture the heart of the most stunning and wonderful man/vampire on this earth was still hard for me to understand. Personally I couldn´t understand how Edward could love someone as plain as me, even though I knew he didn´t see me as plain and I also knew he thought I didn´t see myself clearly. I knew that he loved me as much as I loved him but it was hard for me to truly understand how that was possible. Still I had proof right in front me in the form of wedding presents. The presents from my family and friends were covering the tables that had been put into this room just a few days ago. A feeling of great happiness came over me and once again a smile came to my lips.

Suddenly Alice appeared in the door with a small package in her hand. Her sudden appearance made me jump because I hadn´t heard her coming. This made a huge smile spread over her face. She thought it was funny that I became more nervous and lost in my own thoughts the closer we came to the wedding.

"This came just now, it´s for you", she said with the smile still on her face.

"Thanks Al", I said as I took the brown little box she gave me.

"Well what are sisters for. So how does it feel knowing you soon will be a Cullen?" Alice said with so much excitement I felt sorry for Jasper downstairs.

"I thought I already was considered as a Cullen Alice", I said putting on a sad face.

Alice giggled and soon I was laughing as well, we both knew everyone already did consider me as family. Well almost everyone I thought to myself when Rosalie came to my mind.

"You know we all sees you as family Bella, it´s just Edward who is so stubborn with the whole old ceremonies thingy." She said roiling her eyes, although I knew Alice would have killed Edward slowly if he had taken away her chance to plan a wedding.

"Well I understand him, I mean he was raised during a time when marriage was very important, and it will be nice to be officially a Cullen." I said with a smile.

"I wonder if it is the last name you're after or getting my brother to finally drop those boundaries of his so you can get some..."

"ALICE!!!" I shrieked as I heard Emmet´s booming laughter echoing through the whole house.

"What Bella I ´m just telling the truth and I think you have been very tense this last week, maybe you´re just nervous for the honeymoon", she said with a sly but knowing look in her face.

For the first time since I met Alice I really wanted to throw something at her, even though that wouldn't hurt her. She knew very well that the rest of the family was sitting in the living room downstairs and could hear every single word we said. Emmet only confirmed this fact by laughing even harder and I could also hear some more voices joining him. Suddenly this conversation had become extremely embarrassing and I felt how a scarlet red blush started to creep up my cheeks.

"Alright enough with teasing the soon to be bride", I heard a velvet voice saying behind Alice and there stood my own personal god. Edward´s bronze hair was just as messy as always and he was wearing my favorite crooked grin, his golden eyes were a little firm as he looked at his favorite sister but the amusement was still shining through them together with the happiness they had held ever since I said yes to his proposal.

"I´m just stating facts and besides it´s about time you to lose your 108 year old virginity" Alice said and managed to escape through the door right before Edward grabbed her. When she was gone Edward turned to me and embraced me in his arms. He buried his nose in my hair and took a deep breath, breathing in my sent. I knew how much this closeness pained him because of his never-ending thirst for my blood. Still I felt more at home, here, in his arms than I had ever felt before, I felt whole and the small aching in my heart that always was there then he was gone disappeared.

"You know I love you right?" he said as I lifted my head and meet his golden eyes.

"Yes, I do. And I love you too. More than anything" I said closing my eyes as his lips meet mine. After all this time still nothing could be more heavenly than Edwards's lips on my one. The kiss was short and sweet but it wasn´t hard to feel the love radiating from both of us, and somewhere in the back of my head I thought about how this affected Jasper, but that was a very small part. When we ended the kiss I looked up in Edward´s eyes for a second before resting my head against his chest, closing my eyes. Edward kissed the top of my head, lingering a little with his lips, and I let out a small content sigh, this was heaven. When I opened my eyes they landed on the small package Alice had come in with earlier and for the first time I saw there was a small letter hanging on the package addressed to Isabella Marie Swan. Suddenly my whole body stiffened, I recognized that handwriting but I had never thought I would see it again. I felt my eyes growing big as my mind was trying to take in the information. Edward´s body tensed as well.

"Love, what is it? Bella?" Edward said but his voice was very far away right now. How was it possible after all these years? How could she know I was getting married and where in the world had she been all these years!!!? Would she come to the wedding? Why? How? When? Countless of questions appeared in my head. Suddenly I heard more voices around me, all of them concerned.

"What happened?"

"I don´t know. Suddenly she just became really stiff and looked like she saw a ghost and completely froze. After that I couldn´t get any contact with her and that were five minutes ago! Carlisle, tell me what´s wrong with her!?"

"I'm fine," I whispered. All of the Cullen family was staring at me with worried expressions on their faces, even Rosalie.

"I´m fine I just… it´s nothing I just need some time alone to think, please?" My voice was very distant and barely above a whisper just like my mind in that moment. Everyone around me were in a blur and all I wanted was for them to leave so I could read that letter and open the package.

"Bella you´re whiter than a vampire, I don´t think you should be left..."

"I said I need time alone Edward!" I screamed at him which caused him to take a small step backwards, startled, as everyone's faces turned from concern to shock, and in Edwards chase sorrow. For a moment I was a little shocked myself. I never screamed at Edward unless I had a very good reason, which I didn´t have right now, at least not in the Cullens eyes.

"This has to do with the package which came earlier, hasn't it?" Alice said and I felt myself stiffen again and the little color left leaving my face. How could I have forgotten about Alice´s visions? They weren't meant to find the truth this way, I knew they would all hate me, leave me and…

"I only see you opening the letter and the package Bella, nothing more. Please calm down you´re giving us all a heart attack, especially Edward. We´ll all leave if you promise us that you´ll be alright." Alice said her voice thick with fear and worry. Fear? Why fear? What did I look like?

Alice´s statement made Edward glare at her but she gave him meaning look. Numbly I nodded my head to assure them I would be alright and without another word they all left the room, although I got one last worried look from Edward before he closed the door behind him.


Not wasting a second I rushed to the table and opened the package, that now was my biggest concern, and lifted up the beautiful piece of jewelry that I knew would be hiding in there. It was a necklace that had a long thin silvery chain. I knew the chain had been picked out so you could hide the stone which hang from it under your shirt or dress. The stone looked like a diamond and reflected the small light in the room. The stone didn´t have a specific form but it had an oval shape. It had countless of cracks on the inside, but none of them had affected the outside which still was smooth and perfect. The stone itself had the same color as a diamond, while the cracks on the inside were blood red. I picked up the stone in my hand and the movement made the cracks look like they were moving. Without second thought I put on the necklace and let the stone slide down under my shirt, stopping a little under my bra. I picked up the letter and opened the envelope with my fingers. I began to read:

Dear Isabella

I heard that you are getting married. I am so happy that you finally have found true love, since we both know a vampire only truly loves his mate. Yes, I know your fiancé is a vampire, as you know I have my sources. You also know I only care about your happiness and I know that your Edward will give you that and more. No one in this world deserves happiness more than you do.
You know I have never liked writing long essays instead of speaking to someone in person, so, I am just going to say: I love you and if you ever need me you know how to reach me.
Watch your back and protect your family at all costs! Don´t trust anyone!

Much Love M.I.S.T

P.S I am sorry you haven't heard from me but you know how easily I forget the time. ;)

A few tears had escaped my eyes as I read the letter. The words had warmed my heart and it as a huge relief knowing I had the approval from the one person I wanted approval from. But the knowledge of that Edward or anyone else in my family never could read this letter was heavy. This secret had to come from me when the time was right which it wasn´t right now but it would be. With a deep breath I placed one hand on the stone which now hang on my chest. I miss you, so much I thought. I took another deep breath and headed towards the door. I was going to apologize to my family for my previous behavior.


So I hope you liked the first chapter. Please tell me if I should continue writing on this story or not.
