Realization

Prologue

My name is Bella Cullen and I'm 18 years old. I've been 18 for a little over 3 years now. That's probably impossible for you humans to believe, but believe it or not, I'm a Vampire. And forget all that you have ever heard about Vampires, it's a lie. All you need to know is that you can't ever trust one. Including me. But don't worry. I'm part of the Olympic Coven, "the good guys". Only we don't consider ourselves a coven, we consider ourselves a family. Our "family" consists of me, my husband, Edward, our daughter Renesmee, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Carlisle, and Esme. But if you didn't know that already, than you really shouldn't be reading this story. Go back and read the books, my story. This story isn't about me especially, but about me and my family. I'm going to warn you, if you don't like to read about real things that happen, sad things, then this is not the story for you.

…. But if you do like those things, then keep reading….

Chapter 1- Hunting

"Can't catch me Nessie!!" Jacob yelled, breaking my concentration as I cornered a mountain lion. I growled when I turned back around to find the lion gone.

Jake, Renesmee, Alice and I were out hunting in the mountains. Everyone else was at home.

"Jacob Black!" I yelled. "You owe me a mountain lion!"

He stopped running and grinned at me, causing Renesmee to run into his back.

"Ow." she muttered.

I let the snarl rip through my bared teeth. He suddenly changed into his wolf form, ripping his shorts in the process. We lunged at each other.

"Mommy! Jake!" yelled Renesmee.

She started to throw pieces of rock at our heads, causing us to stop wrestling and look at her.

Jacob had a look on his wolf face that said, "Ouch!". Of course they didn't hurt me though.

Then Jacob and I looked at each other and he gave me his wolfy grin while we both erupted into laughter. Mine like bells, his a bark, but obviously a laugh.

"What is so funny?!" Nessie yelped.

"You! Why were you so scared?" I responded.

She walked over to us, placing a hand on my cheek, and another on Jake's. She showed us the "fight."

"Oh It's OK hon, we were just joking around." I assured her.

Suddenly, Alice ran up to me. Breathing heavily for a vampire.

"Bella! Come quick!!" she yelled. Jacob and I exchanged a confused glance.

"What is it, Alice!" She must've just had a vision, that is the only time she got like this, except for when she had decided to make me go shopping, or some other thing. I hope that isn't it.

"It's….. Edward." Ok definitely not shopping.
