Chapter 1

The loud crack broke through my dreams. I was hurting her. I could feel her pain through her bone shattering screams. She was doing this for me; my mother was giving up her life for me. I was awoken by the lack of oxygen. I couldn't breathe and I would die. I knew it, I would die with her. I couldn't save her and she couldn't save me.

The muffled sound of screams from others filled my space. Then a stream of light shone through the darkness, I could see. The hole was getting bigger. I would be free, but at what cost. My mother's life was going to end because of me. Because of what I was and who I was.

I was suddenly pulled from my sanctuary. I was lifted through the hole into the bright light. Immediately I was wrapped in something cool and cosy. I looked up into the bright golden eyes of a man. He was tall and had hair that was brown but with highlights of different colours. "Renesmee" He whispered to someone behind me.

The man turned my head so I could see who he was talking to. She looked like she was in agony. I knew that she was my mother, the one I had hurt. She was alive, I wanted to do was be with her. "Renesmee?" she asked as if she were expecting someone else.

I looked at her curious to why my mother did not know who I was. But her face lit up and her hands gestured for me. "Let me... Give her to me" She said.

The man pressed me against her skin; she was not holding me but just feeling my warmth. She was so soft and her body was warm. My eyes were locked on hers. She was staring at me with a beautiful half smile on her face. "Renesmee," she whispered. "So... beautiful."

I immediately smiled. My cheeks felt hot, I was blushing. I leaned my head down against my mother's chest, leaning closer to her, trying to feel her warmth. Everything was perfect, she was going to live. I looked back up at her when she gasped in pain.

Cold, pale hands lifted me from her chest and whisked me away from her. The man had taken me from my mother. I was now in a new room with new people. He handed me to a beautiful blonde lady. "Rose, take her." He said and then he was gone.

I waited for him to come back but all I could hear were the twisted dying screams of my mother.
