Chapter 1

1999 – Alice Cullen

Forks, Washington

Alice looked at her sibling as he played with his best friend, Bella Swan. Innocent children, involved in her heartless world. Sensing Alice's growing heartache, Jasper ran to his love.

"Alice? What's wrong?" His brows furrowed in worry.

Alice shook her head and replied, "Us being in their life only damns them to our fate of eternal damnation." Jasper sighed and looked around him. "Alice, is forever such a bad thing? I mean look around? Bella and Edward are consumed by our love. I love my sister with my life and if Bella wants to spend eternity with our fucked up family then why not?" Alice giggled at that and leaned into his shoulder.

She recalled how she had found her Jasper. Esme had found her mate in a recently turned doctor, who had a strictly animal diet. Ironically, Esme for years had helped Alice and her brother, Emmett contain their lust for human blood. They had grown to love her as their mother and only felt love and happiness for the two finding each other. Carlisle was recently divorced. His ex-wife refused to handle him being a vampire and ended their marriage. However, they shared a son and Elizabeth allowed Carlisle to stay in his life. Even though Elizabeth was visibly horrified around him, he was thankful he could be around Edward. His only son had influenced his diet. If he wanted to stay in Edward's life, he needed to discipline himself and often was too hard on himself. So it only increased their happiness for him when he found their mother.

At Carlisle's wedding, a nomad attacked Chief Swan's twins. Hearing screams from the woods, Emmett barely made it in time to save them from death. However, he couldn't stop the transformation. Rosalie and Jasper were forever 17.

After he turned, Jasper had caught Alice's eye. His kindness and visible emotions pulled her towards him. She had felt the ultimate need to help him and his sister. With Emmett, she took the twins away from the appeal of blood lust to Alaska. For two years they helped Rosalie and Jasper maintain a diet of only animal blood. At first, the twins slipped and killed few innocents. However, this only made them try harder. Rosalie and Jasper were forever grateful for the other siblings but Alice and Emmett only asked for their love.

When they had finally returned home, they found young Bella, laughing and playing with their newest little brother Edward.

Alice was shaken to the present, as she stared at her little brother glancing shyly at Bella. The sight hit her with a vision.

Alice looked at her surroundings and saw a much older Bella on her knees cradling a man. "Bella, I love you. Always have and always will. Don't ever forget that." Alice recognized the voice as Edward's but she couldn't see why he was in Bella's arms. She heard a sniffle and then Bella's voice, full of raw emotion, "Edward, I will always love you. You're my soul mate, I belong with you. I love you." A light formed between them and grew brightly. Alice shielded her eyes but it became infinitely brighter. She felt her vision ending and tried to grasp around her to stay longer. Her vision began to weaken but she manage to hear Bella's last whisper, "Don't leave me."

Alice gasped as she sprung into the present. Jasper was looking into her eyes full of concern. "Alice? Are you okay? Was it a vision?" Alice made sure that none of her siblings were around, before relaying the vision to Jasper. His eyes gleamed of confusion as he looked to his sister. Alice sighed sadly. "I don't know what it means."

2006 – Edward

Forks, Washington

Edward looks at his one true love beside him. Her hair shimmered in sunlight and her eyes sparkled with curiousity. "Edward, where are we?" He chuckled at Bella's confused expression.

"Well, what does it look like?" She turned to him and bit her lip softly. "A meadow?"

He rolled his eyes and she lightly hit his arm. "It's just so…beautiful."

He took held of her hand, tugging lightly as she pulled away. "Yes, definitely beautiful." Bella blushed deeply as he looked into her eyes. He raised his hand to her face and ran his thumb across her ivory skin.

"Bella…I love you so much. We've been through everything together. Through diapers till now. You were there for all my important moments, and I yours. You were even there to hold my hair when I threw up after dad told us about vampires." Bella laughed and ran her fingers through his messy hair but let him continue.

"We humans need to stick together in crazy families like ours." He winked before he got down on one knee. Bella's eyes widened and she heard herself gasp.

"Bella, love me forever. Be by my side every step of the way. Let me love you for as long as we both shall live. I don't want a day to go by when you're not by my side." Bella's eyes were full of only love as he continued, "This isn't an engagement ring, Bella, not yet. This is better. It's a promise." He inhaled deeply, gathering courage to speak his love for this beautiful woman.

"Isabella Swan, I, Edward Anthony Cullen, promise to love you every single day of forever. Will you let me?" He waited on his knees patiently for a few minutes as her eyes seemed to glaze over before she finally spoke with a small smile on her face, "Edward, I love you so much." He smiled her favorite crooked grin and asked, "Is that a yes?" She laughed and bit her lip, "How could I ever say no?" He chuckled and stood to kiss his love.

When they pulled apart, he gently slid the ring on to her finger. "Merry Christmas, my love." Her cheeks warmed and she could only smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. With their foreheads pressed tightly together, she whispered softly, "Forever?"

"Forever."

Bella 2007

"Where's Edward today?" Rosalie asked as she plopped down on the couch beside Bella.

"He's with his mom. She wanted to spend Christmas Eve with him so he spent the night last night." Alice rolled her eyes at Bella's answer. "She knows she's invited correct? As she is EVERY year." Bella sighed, "Alice, you know she's not comfatorable with the whole vampire Christmas." Rosalie snickered, "Is she afraid of our non-existent fangs?" The girls laughed before Bella chided Rose, "Your boyfriend scares her." The blonde playfully glared at her sister, "You mean husband? I could've sworn you were at our wedding last month."

Bella held her hands up in surrender as she stood to receive a bag of chips. Mouth full of chips, she replied, "Old habits die hard." Rosalie rolled her eyes but her eyes were full of love for her sister. As Bella pulled another chip to her lips, the light shimmered off her ring. She smiled at the memory of last Christmas. Every time they visited the meadow, which occured frequently, she would bask in the love they shared. He loved her, and she loved him. Their love was simple but strong. She was pulled out of her memories and Rosalie spoke, "Bella? Did Dad tell you he was coming over today?"

Bella frowned, "No. He had to work at the station. He shouldn't get off until eight." Both vampires furrowed their eyebrows. Alice stood and walked the door, "Well he's almost here." Bella and Rosalie joined Alice as Charlie's cruiser appeared in front of the Cullen home. They opened the door and Charlie approached them slowly. His face masked of emotion, asked Alice, "I need to speak to your dad." Alice flashed away and Rosalie grabbed her father, "Charlie, what's going on?" She saw his eyes flicker with pain and abruptly let go. She followed him, confused, as Bella stumbled behind her to keep up. He ran his hands though his hair as he sat on the couch, purposely ignoring Bella's watchful stare. Bella could only mull over possible reasons for his visit as he refused to talk. Before she could ask, The Cullens all appeared along with Jasper. When Bella looked to her brother she became even more confused. He had frozen and was staring at their father with great curiousity.

Charlie stood as he saw Carlisle, "Well Charlie, you're my closest friend and you're welcomed in my home anytime but something tells me you're not here for a friendly visit?" Before Charlie could reply to Carlisle, Alice choked out a mournful sob. "Oh God no. Charlie, no." She started sobbing uncontrollably. They all looked to Alice as Emmett held his sister. The Cullens and his children all looked to Charlie for answers. Jasper went to his father, "Dad, just tell us." Charlie ran his fingers through his hair once more and started, "Earlier today, the Seattle Police Department contacted me to notify me of a car that had been in a serious accident with a Forks license plate." He stopped and surveyed everyone's expressions. "The car belonged to Elizabeth Masen."

Everyone in the room took a surprised gasp. Bella remained frozen as she started to piece two and two. Her soft voice carried thoughout the silent room,"Edward went with his mom today." She immediately turned to her father for answers, hoping her conclusion was wrong.

Charlie couldn't meet her eyes as he continued, "One victim was found in the car, a male victim."

"No Charlie. Don't your dare say it." Bella visibly shook as she became borderline hysterical.

"Carlisle, I hate myself to be the one to give you the news on goddamn Christmas, but its best coming from me." his voice shook with obvious grief as he paused. Carlisle stood with an unemotional face and walked to Charlie. "Tell us Charlie." Charlie nodded and continued, "Carlisle. Edward was found was identified. The hospital said he was found with fatal injuries. They don't expect him to survive the night."

The room was deathly quiet before Bella's cry pierced the room, "No! No! No!" Bella stood and ran towards her father. "You're lying!" She pulled her hand back to slap her father but Jasper pulled his sister away. "Bells stop."

Bella turned into Jasper's embrace and couldn't stop the tears. The room became filled with hysterical sobs and sorrowful screams. As Esme soothed a shocked Carlisle, she turned to Charlie. "Can we see him?" He nodded and continued, "There's more. Elizabeth's body was not found. Carlisle, I have a right to believe that Vampires were involved. Remember how we were studying growing cases in deaths? Well, no blood was found in the driver seat. Only…Edward's blood seemed to be present. I'm not sure, but Christ Carlisle. Her bodies missing." Carlisle straightened out and closed his eyes.

"Charlie, take Bella to the hospital. I'll be there as soon as I can." He opened his eyes and stared at his family. "Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Esme will come with me to Seattle." They all nodded understanding what he meant. Before Bella could say anything, her family was gone and Charlie was ushering her to his car. She could barely process his words as she stared at the ring upon her fingers. She couldn't imagine a life without Edward. It hurt to even think about it. She closed her eyes as the tears came. Please don't leave me, she thought. Yearning for the thought to reach Edward. "I can't exist without you." She whispered. She didn't know what was coming, but she somehow knew nothing would be the same anymore.

Carlisle

As the vampires ran, Carlisle could only think of his beloved son. Esme squeezed his hand in support. He couldn't think of Edward dying, at least not now. Not now when he was barely leaving his youth. 17. The number ran through his head. Only 17 years of life. He shook his head. He wouldn't think of that yet. First he had to find his son's mother. He reflected on his relationship with Elizabeth. They were the best of friends but happened to make the common mistake of sleeping together. But that mistake gave them Edward. They tried so hard to love each other that way but it couldn't work. Five years of marriage trying to make good of what they had. Once he turned, it seemed as if that was the last straw for his Lizzy. He couldn't even bring himself to stop her. He loved her but didn't want her with a monster like him. He understood her perspective and let her go. If he hadn't, he would never have met Esme. She gave him hope that eternity wouldn't be miserable. His reminiscing came to a halt, when he realized they had arrived in Seattle. They proceeded to the site of the crash and smelt the blood. "Oh yeah, there's been a vamp here." Said Emmett. Rosalie rolled her eyes and smacked him. "Of course there has."

Esme stepped forward and laid a hand on Carlisle's shoulder, "But whom?" Carlisle sighed before turning to his family. "These monsters hurt my son, your brother. It is our duty to avenge him and help his mother. Rosalie and Jasper I know he is not your family but-" Rosalie snorted and Jasper stepped forward. "Carlisle. My sister and I love Edward as our own. Just as your family loves our Bella. We are a whole, not two separate families." Rosalie nodded in agreement and Carlisle gave a weak smile. It was true, they were one family. A family who was currently losing one of their own…

Bella

Forks Washington Hospital

Bella held Edward's hand and cringed at the bruises along his arm. "Edward, you can't leave me. You just can't." she started to sob uncontrollably. She looked to the door to check if it was closed before turning back to Edward.

"You listen hear Edward Cullen. You better come back to me. I refuse for you to leave me. You still have so many things to do! Go to college, leave this God forsaken town...ask Charlie for my hand, propose to me with all the gushy details that are implied, help me pick out wedding colors," the tears started falling as she continued, "You're going to suggest some God awful color but we'll eventually settle with blue and some fancy form of white. Emmett will be your best man; Alice will be my maid of honor. My dad's going to be tearing up as he walks be down the aisle, but I won't notice because I'll be staring into your emerald eyes and think to myself, 'God Bella, how did you get so lucky?'…we'll get married, have loads and loads of kids!" she burst into laughter with her tears still streaming down her face. "And they'll look just like you but inherit my despicable clumsiness." She caressed his face softly as she continued her tale. "And then we'll get old. We'll get old but still love each other so much. We'll get old and die. Like how it's supposed to be Edward. Not like this. You will not die like this!" Bella spoke the words with such conviction, that even she began to have hope. But deep down she knew this wouldn't end well. Her life was suddenly being thrown off track into an intense down spiral. They were supposed to be together for as long as possible. Everyone always said they were meant to be together. As Bella sat beside his bed, she had her first doubt. Were they really meant for each other? Bella shook her head and felt instantly guilty. How could she think about that at his death-bed? She gripped on to his hand tighter, holding on to the memories, holding on to their love. As Bella sat in that room, the downfall of their love story began.

Cullens

Seattle, Washington

"Stop. We're close." The Cullen's stopped as Alice raised her hand. They all sniffed the air and smelt the filthy stench of death. They turned the corner into a dark alley and saw dozens of bloody bodies Esme and Rosalie gasped in surprise. Emmett and Jasper growled in disgust. Alice just closed her eyes as her vision appeared in reality. Carlisle refused to react and just searched for Elizabeth. He finally spotted her, just as a vampire sunk his teeth into her neck. "Lizzy!" Carlisle ran to her and instantly jumped on to the murderer's back. The others barely registered his actions until the vampire's head lay upon the floor. Carlisle's family instantly surrounded him as other vampires began to approach. Carlisle could only focus on Elizabeth, however. He used his medical background and surveyed the damage. "Car lost control. Vampires smelt blood. Thought Edward was dead. So much blood. Edward." Carlisle hushed Elizabeth, "Lizzy don't talk. You're using too much energy...you're going to be okay. Just stay with me." Her wounds were too great and Carlisle knew she was going to die but he refused to let her know. As he stared into her knowing eyes he started gasping and uselessly sobbing. The venom prevented tears from falling, but his eyes began to sting in an odd new sensation. "Carlisle, it's okay." He quieted at her voice and pulled her hand to his face. "You know, we were stupid to think we could ever make a marriage work. We never loved each other in that way. The only thing it did was make us hate each other." He remained quiet as she spoke her last words to him. "But Carlisle, I could never hate you. I love you, but in the right way. I'm so sorry I left you when you needed me. It's just…you being a vampire scared me. I was so scared." She stopped and looked away. "I came to the hospital you know. To tell you I wanted to try again. But then I saw you with Esme. She brought a light to you that I hadn't seen in years. I knew then that I couldn't be with you again. I couldn't ruin your life again. We would never be happy. You deserved someone like Esme. You belong together." She began coughing blood up and Carlisle knew it would be soon. "I've had my life Carlisle. My decisions have been mine and although I have regrets, it's all part of the game. Edward hasn't Carlisle. Please. Save him. Save our Edward." Carlisle heard the double meaning to her words and couldn't refuse her dying wish. "I will save our son. I love you Lizzy." They smiled and he whispered, "The right way." She laughed but it only caused her coughing to increase. "The right way." She agreed. He kissed the top of her head and heard her heart flutter to a halt. He squeezed her against him and thought of his promise. Could he damn his son to an eternity?

Well there it is! A little short, but I promise it'll get better. Review? Thaaaaaaaanks guys!
