Prologue

Bella stood make up done, hair up, in a beautiful wedding dress looking out of the window of the Cullen house as Rosalie, Esme and Emmett set up for her wedding below. Alice and Edward had gone to pick up Renee and Phil from the airport. Everything looked perfect from the outside but the fluttering feeling in her stomach however was not joy. It was fear.

She didn't want this. She had been trying to tell Edward ever since he came back but somehow he always changed her mind. Bella turned away from the window unable to stomach looking at the aisle that she would have to walk down in a few hours. Bella was leaning over the dressing table trying to throw up as bile rose in her throat when Jasper walked in.

"Are you okay, Bella?" he asked.

Bella took a deep breath and plastered on the smile she had perfected over the last few months. "I'm fine."

Jasper smiled and stepped further into the room shutting the door. "You do know I am not Edward or Alice, my gift does work on you. So the truth Bella. Do you really want to marry Edward?"

"No," Bella admitted, choking on a sob. "I've tried to tell him Jasper. I swear I did, but every time I tried to give him the ring back but somehow he always changed my mind."

Jasper nodded. "It's okay, Bella. You shouldn't marry someone you don't love and Edward should never have forced you." Jasper reached into his jacket pocket and handed her an envelope.

"What's this?" she asked.

"A new ID and passport."

Bella took it out and looked at it. "Isabella Whitlock?"

"It was my name, when I was human."

Bella threw herself at Jasper, wrapping him in a hug. "Thank you."

"Come on," he led her out of the room and down the stairs. "You can take my truck and ditch it at the airport. I've stashed you a bag with some money and clothes under the passenger seat. If you drive out to Olympia Regonal airport you'll be able to catch a flight out before Edward and Alice can catch up." Jasper gave Bella a hand into the truck and shut the door. "And Bella get the first flight, where ever it takes you. You make sure you get the first flight out of that airport."

Bella nodded. "Thank you."

"There's a phone in the bag. It has my number on if you need me."

Bella nodded again and starting the engine she sped down the driveway.
