Hey, everybody! I'm updating with the express purpose of bringing you all some news. There are deleted scenes from Twilight up. I just went to Bella & Edward . com and used the links to view them. I just want to say that I totally called them both. I bet the next one will be the Emmett scene. The first one's a little creepy at the end, if you ask me. The second one's cute though. So go watch them.

Next, Edward is losing on my poll! Shocker, I know. If you want to protect Edward's pride, do your jobs as Twi-hard fans and vote!

Also, I'm getting really sick of people not bothering to read my Author's notes. So if you review and say something that shows me you read this, you might get a short preview or something.

I think I already said this, but the results from my last poll are in. The winner was a B&E friends since childhood fic. I will start work on that when I finish one of the things I'm currently working on. If you didn't vote for that, don't fear. I'm still going to do the song fics that were on the poll too.


Time slipped away. Edward and I got to know each other again. It was amazing to simply hear his heart beat. I appreciated things that I never had before. It was also incredible to see his relationship with Renesmee grow. I felt like my life was perfect for the first time in a long time.

There were so many things to think about though. There was a part of me, small but growing larger every day, that still wished for immortality. It wasn't that I was selfish, and wanted immortality more than Edward. That had never been the case. It was just the idea of running out of time. Also, I had no idea how long Renesmee would live. Would she have a vampire's life span? There were so many questions.

I could see that Edward missed being a vampire deep in a tiny part inside of him. He had always considered himself a monster, but he had enjoyed the speed. He was slightly lost without his powers, even now. I feel so guilty for taking that from him.

I was beginning to think that it would have been simpler if I had just been changed. These were thoughts that I could never voice to Edward. He would be appalled. He had never wanted that life for me. Still, I felt guiltier when I thought about how he would lose his family. He would always have me and Renesmee, but the others would have to move on. It was a simple fact.

Years later, I would still wonder if these thoughts had jinxed me. I kept wondering about what it would have been like. I couldn't be satisfied with what I had, even though it was all that I had ever wanted. A part of me was wishing for a chance to take that other road. Did that lead to the events that came next? I will never know.

It happened at the border between the werewolf territory and the vampire territory. It's almost too symbolic if you think about it. Hadn't Renesmee and I become a bridge between the werewolves and vampires?

Symbolism aside, it shouldn't have happened. We should have been perfectly safe. Edward, Renesmee, and I were visiting Jake. Jacob and Edward were trying to come to terms with each other, so e had been making a few visits to see Jacob every now and then.

We got out of the car at the border because the werewolves complained that Edward's Volvo smelled. It was all silly and petty. They were like children.

Jake was waiting on the other side. Renesmee smiled and laughed when she saw him. She ran to him, and he picked her up and swung her around. She laughed and hugged him.

In that moment of distraction, none of us were thinking about danger. We were all secure in our happy bubble. A blur came out of nowhere. I heard Edward gasp. Even human, he was faster to react than I. Edward pushed me behind him, but it wouldn't have helped anyway. He was no longer invincible. I could see him cursing his mortality in that moment. We should have known that I was too much of a danger magnet to ever live a mortal life.

"Hello." It was Jane I felt m y breath catch. Jacob whipped Renesmee onto his back, changing shape at the same time. He cast me an apologetic look as his ran off. I was grateful. At least my daughter was safe. I could see that it was painful for Jacob to run away from a threat.

"What do you want, Jane?" Edward asked. She smiled all too innocently.

"I was sent here to see to Bella. I didn't expect this." She gestured to Edward. I winced. What would they do to him?

"So what are you going to do?" Edward was stalling, trying to give Alice time to get here.

"You'll find out." She wasn't going to give us time. We had no way to fight. It happened in an instant. A werewolf lunged from behind me. I jumped in surprise and tripped, crashing to the ground. Edward was distracted with helping me, and Jane took her chance.

"Edward!" I screamed. Edward got my warning just in time to jump out of Jane's way. This sent her flying into me. I heard bones break in my body as I connected with solid vampire skin. I could not tell who the wolf was, but I was grateful to him. Jane didn't have the luxury of torturing me with werewolves around. Let it be quick. It thought. Edward, I'm sorry. I love you.

"Bella!" Edward gasped.

"Stay away!" Jane yelled, annoyed that her plan was falling apart. We had denied her her fun, and she was angry. She glared at Edward.

"No." I choked, wanting her to keep her attention on me. I was going to die anyway. She spared me a disdainful glance, and then bit Edward. I was screaming inside, but no sound came through my lips. My body was becoming numb, my nervous system shutting down.

The last things I heard as darkness overcame me were a roar, a growl, and a few words all at once. I recognized that roar. It was Jacob. He had returned to enter the fight. The roar was a cry of anguish not war. He must have seen me. Too late, Jake. I also knew the growl, or rather growls. I had mistaken two growls for one because they had been uttered in perfect unison. It was Alice and jasper. The words echoed in my consciousness as I faded from life.

"Bella, I love you." my love had whispered with his last ounce of strength. "Bella, listen to me, Bella. It will be okay. Hold on." He had been trying to help me, even as venom tore through his body. My last thought was for him as I sank into unconsciousness.


There you have it. What happens next? Review and find out. Vote on the poll.
