The Greater Threat
A/N: First of all, thank you for choosing to read my story. There are a few background details that I need to make clear for you to fully appreciate The Greater Threat. Firstly, it takes place a few months after Breaking Dawn. Secondly, for the purpose of this story, Jacob did not imprint on Renesmee in the last novel. And thirdly, the story will mainly be told from Bella and Jacob's perspectives. This is because no one can really deny that these two know each other better than anyone else, and I think therefore that they will be able to give the best overall view of the storyline from different angles.
I won't be asking for reviews, although they are always very welcome and appreciated.
Enjoy, and I'm sorry for this overly long note.

Prologue
Bella's POV
I stood there, hand in hand with my husband and my daughter, solid as stone, awaiting the oncoming mystery. We had no way to fight it. We had no way to stop it.
I clutched at Edward's hand, and he pulled me closer.
"You were right," he whispered in my ear, his velvet voice sincere and sure. "You're always right. Whatever this is, we'll face it together."
"Together," I agreed.
"I love you." His eyes flamed with intensity.
My soul flowed through my words. "I love you too." I turned to plant a kiss on Renesmee's soft curls, whispering my adoration in her ear. The wordless response that flowed from her palm to my mind was more than I deserved.
The whole group stiffened as the light of dawn flickered above the trees and the mountain peaks. I looked at the people around me: friends, family, every single one of them. And we were united. We were together.
Movement flickered deep in the trees in front of us, and we all braced ourselves.
Its the unsolvable scenario: the immovable object standing bravely in the path of the unstoppable force. We had no answer, only evidence: a trail of destruction, right across the world.
