Chapter 1 - Bad Break up / Strange Dreams

Bella's Point Of View

It was the last day of school. Everything was in full view. I had my life all set out. I had a boyfriend, who is a vampire and after graduation I would be part of his world. I will have forever with my mate.

I had told Alice that I would be at there house after school. Alice wanted to tell me something. I mean I saw her today at school. It had looked like that she had a vision, and by her expression it wasn't good. I went to my orange Chevy truck, opened the door and sat inside. I started the engine and went towards the Cullen's house.

I stepped inside the house. I looked at my surroundings. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch, while Rosalie and Emmett were standing to the right of them . I could see Alice standing right next to a sitting Jasper as she took a step towards me . They all looked at me and had painful expressions upon there faces. They tried to tell me, but I raced up towards the stairs all the way to Edward's room.

Just as I made it to Edward's room. I couldn't believe the scene that was in front of me. There laid Edward with a strawberry blonde hair women. It could have been any of the Denali or someone else entirely. I just.. Why would he do this. To us. Everything was going great. Why. Just why.

I ran the opposite direction not stopping by the rest of the Cullens. I raced down to my truck and slammed the door. I had burst into a thousand tears, it felt like my heart was breaking no shattering into a million micro pieces. Where would my life go now. What would I do. Edward was my everything. All I cared about was Edward. For he was now dead in my heart.

When I got home I called my mom. Needing some motherly love and advice of my breakup. She suggested that I should be out somewhere. To get my mind off of him. She suggested a variety of places including Europe, Spain, France, Italy. I had her stop there. Italy where Volterra was located. I told her Italy was where I wanted to go. She said that we would leave in the morning and she was so excited to see the sites and explore what Italy was about. She even mentioned that I could meet a guy to replace Edward. But I knew that there was no other.

After I hung up on my mom. I started packing all the necessary items that I would need for the trip like clothes, toothbrush, and my 2 copies of books containing my favorites. "Romeo and Juliet" and "Wuthering Heights". I was listening to Evanescence's "Even in Death" while I drifted off to sleep.

I could hear the lyrics as a guy appeared. He was wearing a long dark cloak I couldn't detect any describable features about the mysterious hooded figure. But all I was left with was the picture and sound of Blood red eyes as the song went on leaving me with the song.

I will stay forever here with you, my lovethe softly spoken words you gave meeven in death our love goes on
