So, I came up with this idea a while back and couldn't exactly drop it. I then decided to create a character to fit the story and she came very easily to me, almost like I knew her already from school or something. She just...appeared in my head, and those are the characters that I write best. So, I decided to go ahead and give this story a shot.
Warning: this fanfiction is EXTREMELY 'AU', as Renesmee does not appear in it. Like, she doesn't exist at all. I know some of you might have a problem with that, but this is purely a 'what if' story. If you have a problem, just don't read it.
Canon pairings, Bella is a vampire and all that jazz. The Cullens' still live in Forks, even though this is set several years after Breaking Dawn (2011-2012).
Chapter One- Prologue
I can remember the noise.
So much noise. It was awful, a deafening screeching, as if several sheets of thick metal were being pulled in half in some gruesome manner. Tires shrieking across pavement, glass shattering with a rattling force. Shouts of pain, screams of fear. The deep sound of some collision, though I think that came before the rest. Sirens, it was all to loud. Adrenaline rushed through my body, pulsing in my ears, though I was unaware of anything at the time, lost in shock and delusions.
I can remember the feelings.
There was so much of that, too. At first, before any of the noise came, I was...happy. I had been laughing at something that someone said. Joyful, not a care in the world. I had no idea that my life could change in the matter of two days. That it would. I did not think that something so horrible would happen; now I wish that I had been more thankful and not taken every day and every person for granted beforehand. Life was a precious thing, and one accident or another could strip that away from you.
But, soon my happiness descended into something of fear, because I remember the force of the strike and the way I was jolted, straight into the seat in front of me. The adrenaline, the agonizing sear of pain, all over! It hurt so much, but I can't remember if I had shouted for help. My arm, my legs, my head...I couldn't keep up with it all. I think that's when I fell into the shock of it all. I blindly searched for my family, but I couldn't find my sisters hand next to me. I didn't know where I was, I couldn't comprehend what happened. The confusion hurt my head. I stopped thinking at that point.
Their was more noise, eventually.
People had stopped and were all around us. Someone pulled me from the wreckage, saying something loudly to me. I cringed away from his touch; it was very cold, and his voice hurt my head. He said something else, his tone comforting, but I didn't understand. My vision blurred and everything sounded muddled to me. Once he had pulled me onto the pavement, the smell of burning rubble filled my nose. The world spun dangerously and I couldn't understand anything that was happening. I gagged and wretched on the ground, the person holding me gently tilting me to the side and rubbing my back. My vision was blurred and all that I could see were a frenzy of flashing red lights. The sirens sounded far away, the voices and worried people all drifting away. I was turned back onto my back as he man holding me smoothed my hair away from my face. I tried to find his eyes in the blur of color, but eventually I gave up. I opened my mouth and forced words out of my throat. Now whether they were intelligible or not, I didn't know.
Then the world had fallen into darkness.
So, here it is. If you're a little confused (which I would expect as this chapter doesn't explain a lot), the next chapter will be longer and explain the whole situation. :)
