Chapter 1
The bright darkness was overwhelming, it was disconcerting the pain I felt and yet did not feel, the visions I could not see, but ultimately the loudly quiet noise surrounding me. "You stay with me now, Bella!" Someone yelled.
I struggled to open my eyes trying to see who the voice belonged to, the brightness stinging my eyes and the pain blurring my vision not allowing me to focus on anything.
Then I felt it, an unexplained emptiness. Discomfort and relief washed over me and I tried to catch my breath.
"Renesmee."
Edward . . . . . . . . .Renesmee.
I tried to lift my hands, to reach for my baby. When Edward did not give her to me I opened my mouth to speak. I wanted to hold her, no, I needed to hold her.
"Let me . . . ," I croaked. "Give her to me."
The darkness receded and the brightness stung my eyes, but I needed to see her.
White, red, shadows, Jacob's blurry face, Edward's face, I looked down. . . Renesmee.
She was beautiful, so gorgeous.
"Renes . . . mee. So . . . beautiful."
The darkness was winning
I finally understood
I was not going to have my happily ever after
I was going to die
This is how I die,
in a room full of the people I love,
its everything I could have ever asked for
