What if things were not how they ended in Breaking Dawn? What if the Volturi won that day in the meadow? The Cullens were captured by the Volturi, and have spent the last twenty years working for Aro. Renesmee and Jacob escaped but were soon separated. Renesmee believed that Jacob was dead. She decided to try to move on with her life and returned to Forks to live with her grandfather, Chief Swan. Only things that seem to be plaguing her if the belief that she caused the death of everyone she loved, those pesky nightmares, and the new students that just started school. Who are they and what could they possibly want?

Shooting Stars
Running. Pounding. Jumping. Snapping. Growling.
I kept holding on. My mother said to hold on and don't let go. I know I shouldn't let go, but at the same time it was getting so hard to hold on.
I kept my eyes closed and my head down. I kept holding tightly to the fur of my friend, Jacob, underneath me. My hands felt like ice, and my lungs were burning from the cold. I kept trying to breathe. My heart was beating out of my chest. I could hear the panting of Jake beneath me. His heart was pounding almost as quickly as mine. I kept holding on. Just keep holding on, I continued to tell myself. I heard snapping of branches in the trees around us. I know that they were sent to fetch us.
Suddenly, I heard Jake growl deeply and felt him jump and shake. I heard the screams of the vampire being torn apart. I kept my eyes closed.
It was then that I heard it…. The screaming began. I could hear them, my family, my mother, my father, my grandparents, Rose and Emmett. I heard them all….
The wind was burning my face, my body began to feel cold, I was tired, and the tears never seemed to stop coming. I couldn't stop feeling like this was my fault. I would have gladly given myself over to protect my family. I was not given a choice in the matter. Now, it was my fault they were gone.
I felt the steady rhythm of Jake running. Before I knew it, I was dozing off. It was just then that hands began to grab me, and pull me in various directions. I heard a loud crack, and Jake whimpering. I opened my eyes to see Aro before me. Then I heard Aro's voice, "So you believed you could run from me?"
BUZZ! "Wake up Seattle! Its 7:00 a.m."
I woke up with a start. There were tears still streaming down my face. Would I ever be able to forgive myself for what happened to my parents? For what happened to Jake?
The radio began to play, "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now…"
Yeah, what I really need is a wish right now…. I'd wish for my family back.
