Prologue - Bella

Deep down, I've always wanted to go to college. It was a dream of mine before I met Edward and all my priorities changed. Funny how love changes things. Now I have everything I could ever want and then some. A loving husband and a beautiful daughter, a large family that loves me dearly and friends I would die for. And I have them all forever. So now that things are as close to perfect as I could ever ask for, maybe it's time to start thinking about what I'd like to do. Besides spend all my time adoring my husband and watching my daughter grow, that is.

Alice had a vision. Not terribly odd, at least not for us. But this one was a little scarier than her usual day to day forecasts, since it involved a serious exposure of our world to the humans. We have little choice but to try and change this future, for all of our sakes. And so, I'm going to get to fulfill that old dream of mine. Dartmouth, here we come.
