A/N: This is an experiment I wanted to try. I take no responsibility for the genius of SM.

This story is about Esme and her beginning as a vampire, her jump from the cliff, her change. This is about the pain she feels of losing her only dream and trying to hide her remorse under her love for her new found family.

Prologue:
I didn't get to hear her heart beat. I had felt like mine had stopped the minute it was announced. Such words I will never forget. Each syllable was like getting hit by a car over and over again. Each sentence was a knife to the chest. If only the angel of death had come for me. But death would be too merciful. Why would fate be so kind? Each second of every minute of every hour of every day was agonizing. The memories, my happiness, the black pit that was now burrowed in what remained of my heart. The one thing I wanted most was in my grasp. Right there. Then it was snatched from me in less than a second. My life. My will to live. Died along with my unborn daughter.
