Midday Light
Though I never doubted for a second they would forget, I'd managed to keep the thought from dwelling in my unusually protected mind. I knew I was just deluding myself, but I didn't want to think of it, it hurt too much. I knew how long it had been since they're last 'visit' that had barely escaped a seemingly unavoidable fight. But even after 20 years my needs were still not satisfied. My almost unbearable passion for my husband, Edward, had not been dulled with time. My need to protect and to care for my angelic daughter, Renesmee, was not enough for what we faced now. How many more treasures had they collected over the years? Alice, now staring at us with that blank expression in her eyes we all knew so well, matched with a horrified gaze, was a face we all remembered. She had not needed to utter one word for us all to know the danger. The Volturi were coming. How soon? Not yet known. How dangerous? Assumed easily. What for? The hardest question of all, but the one with the simplest answer. My happiness, my reason for existence, my daughter.
