PROLOGUE

Bella Swan sat on her bed, while listening to her lullaby being played. Her new friend, Julie Parker, closed her eyes, enjoying the melody. Though the brunette had no idea that it was in fact Edward Cullen, Bella's husband, who had composed it.

Bella had arrived in Forks a few years before, with the great belief that she would never fit there. She had only left Phoenix for the sake of her mother who wanted to be with her new husband. But that thought didn't last long as she met Edward. He was this mysterious boy that only sat with his family, looking like a magazine model. He had intrigued her from day one.

It's only a few months later that she learned the truth about him and his whole family: they were vampires. Unlike the most common vampires you see in movies, these vampires were never sleeping and were very hard to kill. But the Cullen had another thing that made them so different from the others of their kind: they didn't hunt humans.

Carlisle Cullen, the father figure of the family had been repulsed of his new form of life and had found, after several months of effort to destroy himself, that he could survive on animal blood. Centuries later, he started his new family. Edward had been the first one to be transformed, then followed Esme, who was Carlisle's wife and to that, the mother figure of this family. Later, he Rosalie and Emmett were transformed. The only two members of the family who hadn't been transformed by Carlisle were Alice and Jasper.

These two had joined the family after Alice had a vision. Already different of their kinds, Alice, Edward and Jasper had pushed further that difference with their different gifts. Alice could see the future, Edward could read minds and Jasper was capable of influencing people's emotions.

"It's so beautiful." Julie stated as it ended. "Where did you get that CD?"

"Oh Edward gave it to me." Bella answered casually, trying to avoid giving more details.

"Alright then! Tell him to get me one too." She laughed as Bella did the same.

Julie was quite different from any other girls she had met since she arrived in Forks. They had been Jessica, with who she had briefly been very close until last year where things had gotten out of control for her.

For a brief period, Edward had left Bella hoping that with him gone, she would be protected, but he couldn't have been more wrong. He came back months later, with the promise he would never leave her again and he had kept his promise.

Then there was Angela who was probably among the sweetest girls she ever met. There was just no bad blood in that girl. Bella had cherished her friendship with her and spoke to her from time to time.

Now, she was studying in Dartmouth. She hadn't expected to make any new friends as she was months from being transformed herself.

Edward's return was anticipated by the vision Alice had seen of Bella who had jumped in the water. Rosalie had told Edward that Bella had killed herself and Edward took the first plane to Italy to get to the Volturi. The Volturi were the most ancient vampires and by whom the rules were made. Edward's intentions were to provoke them so they would have no other choice but to kill him. But things had changed when Alice and Bella had fled to Italy to stop him.

He was alive, but they were not out of trouble as no humans were allowed to know about their existence. There were only two options: kill her or make her one of them. Alice's vision of Bella being one of theirs had calmed them, but she knew it wouldn't last long.

From there, Bella and Edward had made a deal, after a long and heated argument. He would change her if she agreed to marry him. That's why over the summer, the two had gotten married, though she had hid that fact to Julie.

She had met Julie when they were made partners for an assignment. At first, Bella was really distant, only talking about the project, rarely talking about other things. But soon, she found herself talking more and more about her life, of course editing a few details, and found herself enjoying Julie's company.

"I'll be sure to tell him." Bella replied laughing too. "He should be home soon too."

"Should I be thinking of leaving then?" Julie asked her.

"Of course not." Bella exclaimed. "You know you don't bother him."

And it was the truth. Edward had been happy to know that Bella had delayed for a few months her transformation and he was enjoying her making friends. The Cullen really seemed to appreciate Julie too.

She was slightly like Bella except she didn't have the same curiosity that had devoured Bella after meeting with the Cullen. Julie had just accepted the fact that they were not like most people and let it to that.

"Unless he's planning to rape you tonight." Julie teased her as she knew Bella would blush like mad at her innuendo.

"You have a twisted mind." Bella only found to reply as her red cheeks kept on getting brighter.

"But you love it anyways." Julie laughed once more. "I still ought to leave anyways."

"Alright." Bella said. "I'll accompany you to the door."

Julie grabbed her bag and followed Bella downstairs. She could see Esme drawing in a corner of their grand living room and Alice was sitting in front of a computer doing who knew what. She waved at the two of them before hugging Bella.

"See you in class tomorrow." Bella told her. "And drive carefully."

"I will, don't worry." Julie assured her before walking out of the door.

Bella closed the door and walked into the living room where Alice suddenly found herself besides her.

"She's going on a date tonight." Alice informed her as Bella frowned. "With a guy name

"I didn't know she liked a guy." Bella exclaimed slightly mad that Julie hadn't confided in her.

"Oh I'm sure she's going to tell you tomorrow." Alice giggled. "Actually I..."

But then she stopped and froze in place. In half a second, Esme was besides her. Bella knew that Alice was having a vision and one that was really going to affect them.

"Alice, what did you see?" Bella demanded.

"Julie. She's in danger." She answered. "We can't let her go on this date unprotected."

Julie wondered what kind of danger her new friend could get herself into. Alice was really vague about that danger and when her sister-in-law dialled Jasper's phone number she was talking so fast that she didn't catch any of it.

She was worried now and unfortunately, she knew her family wouldn't allow her to help. Alice seemed to be slightly relief when she hung up. Could have her vision this quickly after one phone call? Bella wasn't sure.

"It's going to be alright." Alice tried to comfort her, but Bella knew Alice well enough to know that nothing was sure yet.
