Prologue

Edward Cullen

It had been a few weeks after prom, and thankfully Bella had no problem getting her cast off. I remember the way she was smiling when she thought that dancing was the one thing she couldn't do. I proved that wrong.

The days went by longer than they normally went. Mainly, because Bella and Charlie had gone on a boating trip, just the two of them. Obviously, Charlie was trying to get a good relationship with Bella. I heard in his head that I had been spending too much time with Bella in her junior year at Forks High School. I laughed at that.

Still, it was quiet and visiting Bella's now-empty room wasn't any help either. It was tempting to follow them, knowing Bella's a little clumsy than your usual human.

I was pondering over these thoughts until I heard Jasper scream out, "Edward!!!" I immediately put my thoughts aside and was there in half a second, only to see a horror-struck Jasper and a sobbing Alice. I shook Jasper violently, involuntarily.

"What happened?" I asked. He just shook his head, still trembling. This only made me shake him harder. "What happened, damn it?!!" I screamed, furious and frustrated at the same time. Did something happen? Did something die?

Alice looked up at me, a look of pity and sympathy in her soft eyes. "Edward," she said, "Bella's…Bella's-" This snapped my attention. I turned towards her and made eye contact with her, when I saw her vision.

"Dad! It's a nice breeze out here!" Bella said, leaning over the rail of the boat. Charlie just laughed and continued steering the boat. Bella just looked happy and sad at the same time. It was until there was a harsh crash into their boat.

"What was that?" Charlie asked. Bella took a risk and looked back. Her eyes widened in horror and saw four vampires there, their eyes blood red. She took a step back.

"Edward! Edward, help!!!" Bella screamed. They lunged for her, but before they could even reach her, she jumped overboard and swam as fast as she could away from them.

It has been some time since she jumped off and lost all stamina to continue on. She started sinking, her eyes closed, giving up all hope.

I snapped back into reality and screamed out, "Bella!!!"

Alice shook with sobs, saying that it was her fault she didn't see it sooner. Jasper tried to calm her emotions down, but it barely worked. The condition Alice was in would make her seem uncomfortable in the next few weeks. All I could do was run out of the house and into the woods, where no one could disturb me. I started ramming punches into the trees around me, knocking them to the ground in pure fury.

"Damn it...damn it...damn it!!!!" I screamed. Why did the beach have to be part of the reservation? La push was the only beach I could find nearby, unless I had to go down to Oregon or California, but that would only be wasting time. I couldn't think. I couldn't focus. I was about to ram my fist into another tree, hadn't it been for Emmett who grabbed both my arms into a tight hold.

"Edward! Get a hold of yourself, will you?!" Emmett screamed, having difficulty restraining me. I thrashed against him, taking out my anger by trying to get out of his hold. I exhaled and sighed. That's when I broke down. I kept crying out Bella's name, hoping that she would comfort me with her arms, her scent. I felt hands hold my face and I came face to face with Esme. She wasn't smiling, or frowning.

"Edward," she started, "please. Calm down." She didn't want to upset me any further. She hugged me, but I couldn't be comforted. All I wanted was to be in the arms of the only human I'd ever loved.
