If my heart were capable of breaking after hearing her cries I was sure that mine would shatter into million pieces. Rain started to fall from the leaden sky above me and I looked up at the clouds, asking for whoever might be out there listening to me.

"Why? Why would you allow me to find such happiness only to snatch it away from me?" A crack of thunder sounded and was quickly followed by a flash of lightning. "Why? Am I truly damned ?" Just as Alice had predicted, she told me that Bella needed to be home before the storm set in, but I knew that she was still in the forest and that worried me. The rain started to fall and I closed my eyes, smelling the air for her scent. Then I froze, there was a scent that shouldn't be here, it couldn't be. There was another vampire close by.
