1. Prologue

Prologue:

Then, Judy steps forward. "The Brenners and Williams have decided…" Oh please. Please please please please let us stay with the Cullens.

"…to take this to court," Judy finishes. Bella's face turns completely white, Kerry's eyes widen and her mouth drops open, and Edward's eyes turn ebony black. I almost faint. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no! This can't happen! It can't! I look desperately at the Brenner family, and Anna shrugs sadly. I know she's on our side, but doesn't have a say in the decisions.

"No…," I whisper, and feel as if I am falling into the restless sea without any way to escape. I feel Edward's hand on my back and look up at him. His lip is quivering with anger, and Bella is against his chest, sobbing tearlessly. I bury my face into Bella and Edward, tears sliding down my cheeks. My mother holds my bandaged hand, slowly rubbing it. "Why?" I whisper into the nothingness. But no one hears me, because I feel as if I am all alone again.

Then, I woke up.
