Prologue

Edward sat with every muscle in his body perfectly still. No one could sit as still as Edward. His brow was slightly creased, as he stared down at the soiled book in his hands. His shoulder was pressed against mine, the cold of his skin actually warming my body. I smiled, his beauty so radiant, I was still surprised he was here. After all, I wasn't the Bella he had feel in love with.

I was no longer clumsy, no longer warm and soft, and my heart didn't beat in wild patterns at the touch of his skin. But it was something more than that now, relief filled my every nerve that he was here. That our life was still together. Especially as we spent every moment of our joined lives together.

Edward looked up from his book and turned his golden eyes onto me. He had noticed my staring. He smiled his crooked smile and I snuggled into his hard rock shoulder as we sat together on the little couch in the even tinier room. I sighed, content with my new life.

But it seemed that was when my life had dissolved. Everything hadn't worked out the way I wanted it too.

We packed up from Forks after the wedding, ready to move onto our new life. Lucy made the most of a tantrum. She didn't want to leave the sleepy town where no one but the acne-covered boy saw her face. But even now the grocery store boy didn't want to look at her, and that had been the point where Lucy agreed to move to Prince Rupert city in British Columbia. It just happened to be the rainiest city in Canada.

To my surprise, Sarah-Anna and even Kat and Derrek decided to tag along and move with Edward, Lucy and I to our new home. Which just happened to be Northwest community college.

Since we were all along the same age, it seemed practical to blend into the human society. Derrek wasn't too happy to be sharing a dorm room with Edward his first year of marriage. I had convinced Lucy to come to college too, her age hidden under the burns on her face. She still looked younger than the rest of us so her disguise was that she was a gifted student and skipped a few years in high school. The burns were healing slowly and every few months a little of the ash would dissolve. But not fast enough for Lucy.

Lucy and I shared a dorm while Kat and Sarah-Anna had one next door in the all girl dorm building. It seemed Sarah and Kat had become the best of friends. Lucy wasn't too happy about that, her brother's new wife had replaced her. The fact that Kat was gorgeous as all vampires made Lucy even more jealous.

Since Sarah and Derrek were both twenty-two, we decided to enroll as seniors in university.

Sarah blended in nicely at the school and Derrek was well received being one of the most popular boys at the university with his all-star football throw. Kat was known as his temperamental girlfriend. The rumor was Derrek only stayed with her because of her strange beautiful unnatural looks.

Kat and Derrek were an odd couple, since they had fallen in love so quick, they barely knew all there annoying habits. It seemed they fought every two seconds, the second in-between were the constant mushy making up that was soon followed by another bickering session. They never agreed on anything.

Edward and I were always noticed, always declared beautiful by every human eye. Of course we were looked at, but we kept out of the spotlight, going to classes then disappearing out on our own.

Lucy seemed to our shadow. She walked behind us, behind the view of the human eyes. Because she was still a vampire, humans were alienated by her aura, but it seemed without her beauty she was more human that Edward and I.

It was after a year really, where finally things started to go down hill, where I finally realized everything wasn't picture perfect.

Lucy had fallen in love, without her own mother realizing it. I didn't read the signs, as she was different this time. She was quiet and she didn't walk up and flaunt herself all over him like she had before the fire. A love interest would be good for her, except the fact that for once in her life, there was a chance she could get her heart broken.

Derrek and Kat's bickering had always been bad, but one secret that Kat had kept without realizing it, was something that had the possibility to tear their marriage apart. Derrek couldn't ignore the feeling of anger boiling in his stomach.

Sarah and Stewart, the boy from Alaska, were still dating even with the distance. Every month Stewart would fly down from his university to spend a weekend or so with my daughter. Their relationship was perfectly puppy love, nothing serious but still loving. But when it started to get going, when true love was a possibility, a sudden guest swoops in to destroy it all. Like mother, like daughter I suppose it is said. But would Sarah pick right is what I wondered.

Above that all, their was still the factor of the Volturi watching us. We weren't as worried since with Kat our numbers were stronger. Edward and I felt safe, they weren't going to attack. Oh no, they were going to play dirty. They were going to offer one thing Sarah-Anna could not resist.

What could a vampire do? I guess I had to save the world.
