AN hello again. I got a little time in between my schedule and wrote this small chapter. I hope you enjoy it...

In the hall was my father's oldest friend Billy Black along with his son and my chilhood friend Jacob Black. He is 2 years younger than I am yet he looks older. He has a muscular body with fine muscles.

Billy and Jacob often come to our home and then we would all hangout together. It is the last sunday of the month and it is like a ritual in the family that men would go fishing today. They do this every two months. As it was time for breakfast we all headed to the dining room.

I and leah served everyone and then sat down and helped ourselves. Dad and billy were deep in conversation about war. Mom was trying to convince seth to eat more. My little brother always found ways to play with his food. Jacob and leah were in their own little bubble of love. They were born 3 months apart and that was when our fathers decided that they were to stay together forever. And much to their surprise they were inseparable. You would always find them together. I was enjoying the peace and thinking about nothing in particular mainly focusing on my food.

When everyone was done we gathered the dishes and went to wash them. Mom said she didn't need our help and told us to go and join others. When we entered the room billy was talking something about me that got my attention.

" Dr. Cullen is in search of bride for his son. He asked me to put forward if I knew anyone. I was thinking our little Isabella would be perfect match for his son."

" I understand that billy but I hope you haven't said anything about it to Dr. Cullen because I have not given much thought to Isabella's marriage."

" I won't force you to agree to wed them but what's the harm in once meeting the boy. His son Edward is soldier in army. Soon he would be commander. Dr. Cullen's family is well respected in our society. Our Bella would be in perfect environment." bill said.

" Ok then I would meet him, but I won't make any promises."dad said firmly.

Billy was extremely happy to having had dad convinced. They looked up at us as we got seated on the couch. Dad gave me a small smile obviously concious about the fact that I had heard the conversation. I smiled back but I am not sure what it looked like. Dad didn't bother to mention it so I concluded it was just fine.

Rest of the talk was on much lighter topics before they went fishing. After dad, billy, seth and jacob left mom decided that we needed to go shopping for groceries. I denied to join her and leah telling them i would like to stay and clean my room and later read.

Mom knew that my room didn't need to be cleaned but she understood I needed time alone so she let me be. I made my way up to my room and directly went to bed hugging the pillow to me. It was then that I realised the feeling of uneasiness in the pit of my stomach.

I was far too scared for my own good. How would I be able to stay away from mom, leah, seth and dad. I don't think I would be able to survive even a single day without them. Also I don't know anything about this Edward person. I don't know how he would be. If he would be nice or cruel. Good looking or not-so-nice average man. I was terrified at the thought of spending rest of my life with a complete stranger. I knew my dad would only choose what is the best for me but I can't push away the feeling of helplessness.

I didn't know tears were streaming down my face until I felt the wetness on the soft pillow and then a small sob broke out of my mouth. I let it out followed by a few more after it. I let the fear out in form of salt and water. I don't know what is in my future but I hope and pray to god with all my heart not make it too hard for me.
