Chapter one ---Third's POV---

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Isabella. She wanted to be called Bella but it was never her place to correct anyone for she was young and a girl. It was improper and against the law for a woman to talk to a man without being spoken to first and a child could not talk back to their parents. The children had to follow every order given to them by their parents.

Isabella was only fifteen and she was the only daughter amongst many sons of the fruit seller in Forks. Barely any one was in their small town for many travelers never made it to the west before they died. Because she was the only daughter and her mother was too sick to do most stuff, Isabella gained the responsibilities of the family at the age of six. She helped out her mother when she was younger but when she turned six her mother got sick and her illness never went away. As Isabella grew up her mother got worse and worse because of the disease and old age.

Everyday Isabella got water from the brook, cleaned the house, did the laundry, prepared all of the meals, and took care of anything her family wanted or needed done. She was never allowed to go into town so she had no friends and knew no one. The only things she knew were the things she did at home and the little bits of information that her mother would sometimes tell her about the world.

All of her brothers were older than her and had jobs selling things in the market they all lived in their same house. Isabella's brothers had to keep their children in a separate house next door. Even though there must have been thirty kids in that house none of them were girls and all of the children's mothers died having one of their multiple kids so Isabella had to take care of her brother's families also.

One day, Isabella's mother died and because the funeral was in town Isabella could not come. She never understood why but her father knew that if she were to go into town she would be claimed as someone else's wife and her father could not stand to lose her. If women went to the market that meant that they were eligible for marriage. Isabella's father wanted to find a good man then introduce him to Isabella, but no man was good enough for her and as she got prettier and older by the day it was harder and harder to keep her away from society.

One day Isabella's father decided to see what kind of man would ask for her if she would go into town. He did not want for her to marry only for money because he didn't mind being poor but he didn't believe in love only good people and greedy people. So he sent Isabella to get some books from Mr. Feller, the local book store owner, so that she could start educating her nephews. The book store also just happened to be in the center of the market where the most people were too.

Unfortunately, his idea to make men come to Isabella would only lead to her death.
