As I looked around my families living room one last time my breathe caught on the sob that was threatening to break free. 18 years I had spent here I had so many happy memories that would be with me always, however the bad memories I would remember more potently.

Flashback 1 month earlier

Here I was sat all alone in my living room waiting for my mum and dad to arrive back home with my twin brother Benjamin after his football game.

I had to tell them about Edward I just hope they could forgive me. I loved him with all my heart and I knew my decision to be with Edward would be something my parents would have a difficult time trying to process, but there was no other choice I couldn't live without him.

I glanced at the clock and realised it was past 9 now my parents should have been back by now Benjamin's game finished at 8 and the school was only 10 minutes away.

I pulled out my phone to call Edward, something didn't feel right I had this strange ache in the centre of my chest and I could feel my heart nervously fluttering inside my chest.

I dialled Edwards number and waiting for him to pick up.

"Hey beautiful, how did the talk go?" My loves velvet voice wasn't helping to calm my nerves, something definitely wasn't right.

"Edward somethings wrong, their not back yet, they haven't called and I have the strangest feeling that somethings not right." I panicked down the phone.

"Okay I want you to breathe for me baby take a deep breathe, come on in and out okay good, now I'm going to come and get you with Emmett and then we will ring the school and see when they left okay?" He reassured me the best he could but I think he could hear the slight hysteria in my voice.

"Ye okay Edward hurry please somethings definitely not right, I'm scared." I pleaded with him, I needed him with me.

"I'll be there as soon as I can I love you baby." He replied with such devotion in his voice that it took my breathe away.

"I love you too." I whispered down the phone before ending the call.

5 minutes later I'm pacing the living room, trying my best to remain calm whilst waiting for Edward to arrive when there was a knock at the back door.

Frowning I made my way over slowly knowing it couldn't possibly be my boyfriend, he would have walked in the front door. As I rounded the corner into the kitchen I spotted a A4 sized envelope on the floor that must have been posted under the back door.

I picked the envelope up and read the elegant script, my breathe catching as I read the frightening words on the page.

My dearest Isabella,

I warned you about the company you keep, your poor family would be so disappointed. Tell Edward I want my dear brother Marcus back in the next 24 hours otherwise I will slowly take everything from him starting with you.

And to show you I'm serious about what I've said I would like you to take a look out of your back door, this will be the first you better hope Edward delivers Marcus safely or more will follow.

If you even think about contacting the police I won't only be my family that falls.

King regards Aro

Terrified wouldn't even begin to describe how I was feeling, I cautiously walked to the back door and peered outside through the blinds attached to the door.

And there she was my mother beaten and bloody with a rope tied around her neck hanging from the giant tree in the back garden.

Screams erupted from my chest as I struggled to breathe, I couldn't look away, my mother was dead. Aro had killed her, I screamed my throat raw until the blackness started to creep in.

"Baby? Bella what's wrong?" Was the last thing I heard before I succumbed to the blackness that was trying to consume me.

End flashback

That was 1 month ago I hadn't been able to set foot back in this house since that day. My whole family was dead my mum dad and brother Benjamin but I'll explain about that another time. For now this is my story.

I hope you like it, it's my first story so please be gentle. All comments and criticisms are welcome. How else am I supposed to improve.
