PROLOUGE

Life was perfect. A loving husband, a wonderful home and of course a gorgeous baby girl. What more could she ask for. Renee was content with what God had given her.

She was only 18 when she ran away from home with Charlie. He was an exchange student who had got admitted to her school through a sports scholarship. They were so in love. But Renee belonged to one of the biggest business families in the country. They were old money and there was no way her parents would allow her to marry a boy with no social status or power. So like most couples in similar situations they ran away.

3 years had passed since then. They made their home far away from her families reach in the small rainy town of Forks, Washington. Though she missed her parents Charlie had made sure that she lacked for nothing. He adored her and she him. When Bella came a year later it was as if their family became complete.

But Renee didn't know, didn't know that her life was going to alter for the second time in five years.

CHARLIE SWAN

Born ON: 3 JUNE 1974

Died ON: 15 MAY 1998

Dead. He is dead. Gone. Lost for ever.

This has what it has come to. All their dreams and hopes. He had promised her forever, but he couldn't keep his word. At the age of 24, Charlie had left his wife and baby.

A drunk driver, that's all it had taken.

"He is gone." Renee couldn't stop repeating the words as she saw the coffin lowered to the ground.

There she decided. She was not going to cry anymore.

"I won't shed anymore tears over the dead." Her tears had dried up. Her baby needed her. She had to be strong for Bella. Renee squared her shoulders and turned away from the grave. She left her heart there with Charlie and made to move, to face life.

Though without him it won't be much of a life.

He was watching her. He had been watching her since the moment she stepped into the graveyard.

"Not too long now", he thought. Soon she won't have to worry about anything. He was here now, her father was here. The useless boy was out of the way. This time there was no mistake, he had personally made sure of it.

Now it's about time for his lost child to return home, to fulfil her legacy.
