A/N: Twilight and its characters are creations of Stephenie Meyer.
WARNING: This fanfiction assumes knowledge of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and at least the first few chapters of Breaking Dawn. There may be spoilers in the following text for those who have not read that far.
The Better Story takes place on Edward and Bella's honeymoon, but ignores most of the consequences of this that play out in Breaking Dawn (you know what I'm talking about). I began writing this before reading Breaking Dawn, and I'm fairly confident that I will continue the story as planned, even though it deviates significantly from Stephenie Meyer's plot.
Why did the fairy tale have to end so soon?
Why did I think that we'd finally be safe?
Looking back at these past few days, these few, wonderful, heavenly days, I can't help but feel that we were being pulled along. That the script was already written and we were just acting out our parts. That explains it, I thought bitterly. How else could I have let this happen?
Charcoal eyes glared down at me. The author of our tragedy pacing about me, a predator circling, drunk in the adrenaline of this latest triumph. And I, the damsel in distress, sit patiently, my hero cast aside, waiting for the first strike.
