The Life they were meant to Live

Prologue

"Edward, it's ok. This was how it was supposed to happen from the very beginning. I was only supposed to be here long enough to point you in the direction of your soul mate and I've done that. Angela is turning even as we speak. We both knew that it was only a matter of time before it happened. So now my time is up." Bella said with a sad smile. She knew her time was coming soon when the memories of her past lives returned to her last month. They always come back exactly one month before her death and then her new life would begin. This time was different though, she got them back three months before her birthday and that meant only one thing. Her next life she would go through the final change, take her place amongst her ancestors, and she could hardly wait. But first she had one last job to do before she died this time.

"What do you mean?" he asked, he read from the minds of his family that they were as confused by what she said as he was.

"You'll find out soon enough," she said. As Bella bleed out on the floor, she put the last of her power to work and called to her protectors, her warriors. As she did so, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper saw her begin to glow. The three of them then fell to the ground clutching their hearts in excruciating pain and then their hearts began to beat. The four remaining vampires took in the site with great confusion and worry. When Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper met the eyes of their family the four vampires could only look on in shock as they saw their siblings' human eye color.

"I don't have enough time to tell you what you have now, but go to the Voltori and tell them that the Guardian they made a truce with is calling in the debt that they owe to me. They will ask you two questions. The first will be to see the mark that now resides over your hearts, you three will show it to them. The second will be the name of the Guardian, you will tell them her name was Piper." Bella then began struggling for breath as she said her parting words, "They will tell you everything, but for now, follow the glow it will lead you to the woman who will bring me back into this world. Do not intervene, you may watch over me but you must let the chips fall where they may, when it is time for you to come for me your marks will begin to burn. It will guide you to me, until then the mark will also guide you to your mate, it will glow when you find them. Now, follow the glow." As she said that, she took her final breath and her heart beat no more.

Upon that final beat, her body glowed for all to see then it disappeared, and in its place was a bright ball of light. It flew around them and into the woods. Edward stayed behind with Angela while the rest of the Cullens followed the light. Surprising to everyone was the fact that Emmett, Rosalie, And Jasper seemed to have the same abilities they have now as they did as vampires.

After three days of running, the light came to a stop at the side of a road and seemed to jump into the stomach of a knocked out woman who appeared to be no more than twenty years of age. They watched on in confusion as after a few minutes, a man found her knocked on the side and heard him say,"Shit, she's been raped." And preceded to call 911.

They continued to watch over her until March 5th 1995, when a baby girl was born to her, a little girl she named Elle Halliwell.

Jasper then said in a hushed whisper, "And so it begins."
