This is set in about the new moon period. Bella has been living in Forks for about eight or nine months, and Jacob was whom she loved. He left (in a situation just like Edward in new moon) and she has been left to deal with the pain. Edward arrives in town, only too fascinated by Bella. He finds himself destined to protecting her and soothing the pain she is feeling. Before long Bella realises, that what she felt for Jacob is nothing at all compared to how Edward makes her feel.

The salty air stung the open wounds that lay upon my arm. I barely even winced at the pain anymore it was insignificant to what I was really feeling deep inside.

As I slowly walked along the beach, I could not even appreciate the beauty of the area that surrounded me, not anymore at least. Once upon a time I would have taken in every little detail and begged to know how such exquisiteness could exist.

But now all I could see was water crashing against the shore and then leaving, no beauty in that at all. My heart can no longer feel anything but pain when I'm surrounded by such a situation.

It has been 6 months since he left me, left me to fend for myself and try to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. The second he left, it was like a thousand knives stabbing at my chest constantly, I haven't been able to stop the pain the last months.

The wounds on my arm lay from the only way I could manage to grasp that I was still alive. The blood made me realise I was indeed still living and I wasn't just imaging my horrid existence. Though the look and smell of the blood was foul, I could handle it, just to see I was still alive. I thought sometimes of the consequences of what would happen if I tried to kill myself, or tried things to make me feel more alive. Would Jacob come back and tell me to stop being so selfish?

I stopped at the edge of the beach and lay down on the sand. I watched the clouds pass by, they were begging for rain but they just could not get there. As I lay I slowly drifted to unconsciousness.

I walked down the brilliantly white corridor that felt never ending. There was nothing on the walls or floor, just white in every direction. I wasn't quite sure where I was going or who or what I was looking for, but it just felt right to keep walking.

Although people surrounded me as I moved, I still felt utterly alone. And that's when I saw him, just the sight of him soothed all the pain that contained me. I couldn't see his face, just his black leather jacket and dark pants.

He swiftly glided through the hallway barely 20 meters ahead of where I was. Where had he suddenly appeared from?

I ran towards him instinctively, like a drug, I need more of his calming presence. I was curious about him, his back still turned as he moved effortlessly towards the bright light that shone at the end of the hall. As I kept running, it seemed impossible to reach him, the distance only growing. Finally he stopped, and I neared to him. Just as I reached within a meter of him, he roared a thunderous and fierce growl from deep in his chest.

I still couldn't see his face and despite his anger; I crept forward to touch him, just his arm, so delicate and pale, like porcelain. As my hand flung to touch him, he jumped towards me, and swung his body around to face me.

I gasped at his beauty, more incredible than I could have ever imagined. The white of the room seemed to blend with his face and I could only just see the outline of his features. But what stunned me more, the incredible red eyes that lay before me, they looked harsh and like that of a tiger, ready to pounce on his pray.

"Stay away from me!" he roared. I shook at the loudness and intensity of his voice.

All of a sudden my eyes opened and I awoke struggling for air.

I took in my surroundings, realizing I must have fallen asleep on the beach. It was only just midday, so I let my mind wander again and I gave in once again to the urge to sleep.

The crashing of the waves soothed me entirely. My mind was free to wander in positive thoughts as my lips danced with his. My hands were locked into a patch of hair, daring not to move in case this moment could lose any of its perfectness. His hand moved up from my hip and came to rest on the inner of my shoulders, just before my neck. Without warning his head dropped and his teeth sunk into my neck with such incredible force. I woke once again gasping for air.

Dazed I jumped up, leaving me feeling dizzy. I steadied myself on a nearby tree. Pushing my weight against it until I felt the stable again.

I glanced at the sky, it was the beginning of twilight, the sun was beginning to surrender to the moon. This beauty was the only which made me feel sane. Seeing the dark sky break against the grey made me for some reason feel whole. I could see as I looked into the sky, that it was the start of something beautiful, maybe even I could radiate in the lessons the sun must learn. The sun knows it is inevitable for the moon to take its place. Maybe that is what I needed in my life, a moon to break away the sun. Someone to replace the pain that was by Jacob's departure.
