Those of us who have read the fourth installment in Meyer's saga know how it ends. Briley Browne however, envisions a thrilling conclusion in which Bella is thrust into an alternate world in which Edward never existed, set during the first book's time pd.

1. Preface

In visions of the dark night

I have dreamed of joy departed-

But a waking dream of life and light

Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day

To him whose eyes are cast

On things around him with a ray

Turned back upon the past?

Edgar Allan Poe

I knew everyone thought I was crazy. Even I thought I was crazy. But despite everything, I trusted my own mind. I knew it wasn't all some silly dream. It was all real. It had just been… lost somehow.

I'd fought for what I loved many times. I'd looked death in the eyes and I didn't back down. If the prospect of an excruciatingly slow and agonizing death didn't make me surrender, I definitely wasn't going to let this stop me.

I knew it wouldn't be easy. I would have to give up so much. I'd had a taste of what could be, but what I really wanted was what I'd had. I would give up everything, sacrifice it all to be with the one I truly loved.

Even if he didn't exist.
