Prologue

Angry flashes of light blazed through the gray skies creating the illusion of oblivion. Rain pelted the ground with it's never ending beats of rhythm, drumming to its own tempo.

Below, harsh waves crashed against the wall of a high cliff. From above the water seemed to be endless. As if it could withstand the world. Through the tests of time. It was dark and forbidden, sinful in its own way. Mysterious in its dark depths that pushed against the rocks.

Another flash of lightning flashed through the heavens, alighting the top of the cliff where a lone figure stood.

A slim frame of a young woman gazed down at the murky pits of the ocean as if daring it to tell its secrets. Dark brown hair plastered to her face and neck reaching down to her waist, drenched from the continued rain falling from the sky.

A white hospital gown covered her petite form, yet with it clinging to her body the way it was, it seemed practically see through. Showing her every arc, her every curve.

But it wasn't the bare feet covered in cuts or the brace holding her arm that would stop a passerby. It wasn't the scratches or deep gashes covering her body that would cause many to wonder what happened to this lost girl.

It was her face. Not the beauty of it, but the sorrow that reflected in her brown eyes. Eyes that once held excitement and happiness were now replaced with a dull never ending pain. Lifeless would be the word to characterize this fragile creature, though it most likely wouldn't be enough.

Her heart was lost. Her life and existence meant nothing now. What was the point in living if you have nothing to live for? Why continue with life if the people you want to live it with are gone?

Love. A four letter word that holds the entire world. A word so small that held thousands of possibilities. Possibilities that were now nowhere to be found. With a snap o his fingers, God had taken the things she held dear. So why not take her own life. It was meaningless now anyway.

Determination now filled her tedious eyes. Before her mind was to take a new course, she stepped back a few feet. Adrenalin ran through her veins, taking a ragged breath she took a running start and in one graceful leap, flew off the cliff.

She laughed humorlessly as she rocketed towards the dark shadow below. She was free! No more pain, no more guilt.

Just before her body broke through the surface a scream from high above flooded her ears.

"BELLA!"
