Prologue
Third Person POV
(Cullen's)
Almost two years ago, the Cullen family left behind a vital member of their family, Bella. Carlisle, the father and the head of the Cullen Coven, left behind his youngest daughter and one of his most infamous patients. Bella could often trip over thin air and that would leave her to needing him in a way that none of his other children or even wife did. You could often find them in his study even when she did not need his medical expertise. They often talked about his past and things that he lived through and seen. This is especially true when it came to Literature and the Arts.
Esme, the mother and Matriarch of the Cullen Coven, left behind her youngest and most cherished daughter. Of course she loved and cared for all of her children the same amount, but Bella held a special place in her heart as she was the only child that actually needed her. Bella needed her the way children needed their mother. She was able to cook meals for her and just dote on her like parents do. Esme really misses their time together in the kitchen, where they would learn new recipes together and if they were successful, then Bella would try them out on her father, Charlie.
The 'children' all miss Bella for different reasons. The boys, Emmett and Jasper, miss their little sister. They miss playing video games or chess with her. They miss catching her when she lost her balance or fell. They miss teasing her to make her blush or having her referee their many wrestling matches.
The girls, Rosalie and Alice, also miss their little sister. Even though Rosalie outwardly acted as though she hated Bella, she really did not. She actually loved her as a little sister. Rosalie was just jealous of Bella's humanity. All she ever wanted was to be able to have children of her own and she felt that Bella was giving that up to be changed. Alice misses her best friend and sister. She really misses being able to dress her up and play 'Bella Barbie'. Alice does not remember her human life, so she lives vicariously through Bella and often went overboard with the excitement and things she thought Bella would want and love.
Finally, the last Cullen. Edward. He perhaps misses Bella the most as she was and is his mate. Leaving her was the hardest thing that he had to do in his over 100 years of being on this Earth. He misses her smile, the way she used to blush so easily, the way her heart would race or skip a beat when her gaze would land on him. He even misses the burn in the back of his throat that he would get around her and the smell of her blood because that told him that she was indeed alive and safe.
(Swan's)
The Swan's have had a rough couple of years since the departure of the Cullen family. There have been many sleepless nights, miracles, deaths, tragedies, and losses. There have also been several big discoveries for the Swan household. Although the one in the middle of all these discoveries and tragedies, Isabella, is not showing her emotions outwardly, she is dieing on the inside. Is it just figuratively speaking? Or is Isabella literally dieing on the inside?
