Falling Sun

by gabbigeo

Post-Breaking Dawn. What will Bella do when the Volturi start assembling their own talent and seek out the most vulnerable person in her life? Adds an extra element of supernatural beings. Rated M, just in case the characters get a little spunky.

Preface

I have faced death in many ways. I have even feared for the death of my loved ones. Every time I have escaped, or fought to protect those I love. So to be trapped, without a chance of protecting the most vulnerable person in my life, I know I would (quite literally and even gladly) stare death in the face a thousand times if it would offer any protection. I have never, in my new life, felt such helplessness. When I felt my strength for the first time, I reveled in my new invincibility. When I discovered the speed I was capable of, I was amazed by the thrill. And when I learned to project my shield I thought I would never again have to sit by uselessly to watch my loved ones suffer. I never imagined that all of these things would one day be rendered useless.
