Here I sit on a worn sofa in the living room of a friend. That friend is Jacob Black. That friend is someone who I've come to know a lot over the last few months. That friend is someone that I kind of don't want to be sharing a house with.

" Why don't you just come home?"I could hear it in her voice that she truely wanted me to come..

" No. I love it here mom. I want to be here."

"Okay, but if anything happens, I'm going to fly up there and--"

"Yea Mom, I get it."

"Now. What are you going to eat for dinner tonight?" I think that's Billy talking. I'm not really paying attention.

This house smells like cigars and fish. It bugged me at first, but in a sad way I've become accustomed to it. I don't like it though. The small window in front of me is letting the light from the setting sun dance on my thigh. I watch while I remember. Twilight, the safest time. Faint whispers creep into my mind, but I push them away.

"What about fish? Is that good for every one." That's awesome. I can't wait to eat fish for the first time since yesterday.

"Bella?" I look up at Billy. He watches me from his seat at the kitchen table. The kitchen and living room are in the same area.

"Fish?" he asks again.

"Yea. Sure. Whatever." I say. I'm standing up now. I walk into Billy's room. Dad and I are sharing it until we can find somewhere else. Somewhere else. So much has happened to be in the last week and I feel like I've gone on overload. I can't even think straight anymore.My head rests on the pillow, a new pillow. Not my old one.

I glance at the alarm clock on the dresser. 6:30. My thoughts cloud down on me like a heavy cloud, and for a moment I want to scream for help.

Look at me, I'm getting so carried away. I'm being so dramatic aren't I? It's difficult though, trying to go on. Knowing that I have nothing left. No house, no posessions, no love.

"Why would I want to get to know you better?"

" Oh. I don't know. Maybe because you want something so bad, and I can get it for you."

"And what would that something be?"

"I think you and I both know what that is. Do you have a hunger Bella? A calling?"

"I---"

"Don't you truely want to be one of us?"

"I guess.."

"You guess? When you were with Edward - sorry- didn't you want, with every breath in your body, to be one of us?"

"How did you ---"

"Bella, every human who has ever fallen in love with one of us, will want to be one of us until the day they die.Even if they are no longer with that love."

Memories continue to rush at me. I know that if I kept myself busy, I might be able to stop thinking, and it may help. There's nothing to do around here, so thoughts are all I have to keep me sane. 6:35. I can't stay in here for any longer. I stand up and climb out the small window in Billy's room. My body just fits. I slowly start to walk around the house to the front, but think other wise and head into the forest in behind. Dead branches and twigs try to barracade my entrance, but I fit through.

I walk for what seems like moments, but I know minutes have passed. Soon it's become entirely black around me and I stop near a stream. I sit on the bare grass of the water, taking my sandals off and letting my toes feel the cold of the water. Shivers keep me awake.

"There's not much that we could save, that wasn't burned from the fire."

" So, all of my stuff is is dust?"

" Well not necessarily dust."

" Anything from my room worth keeping..."

"Some CD's and a few pieces of clothing. That's about it. I'm really sorry Miss. Swan."

Small fish make their way through the water. They somehow know my feet are there, and swim around like it had been there since the stream began. It's amazing how things can work. I wish my life could be so different that I don't even notice the things that occur around me.

"Why were you trying to find my father? To kill him?"

" We thought that if we hurt him, that you would want to come with us."

"Who said I wouldn't come with you if you asked?"

"I'm sorry. We were mistaken."

"We?"

"The Volturi. All of us want you to come with us."

"Oh. To come with you were exactly?"

"Italy, Bella."

"Wow."

" Yes. It's amazing there. Not as much rain as here, but we have a reputation were we come from."

"And, why would I go with you and not find someone else---"

"It's your choice Bella. You could go out and find someone else, but if you came with us, we would ensure that you would become something none of us have ever seen before."

"I still don't understand why you want me so bad."

"Bella we crave to have you with us. There are reasons, which we will show you if you agree to come with us. We are not forcing you, you would be coming because you want to. Bella, we know that you want to be one of us. We can make this happen."

"And if I agree, what will become of my dad, my mom? What will they be told happened to me? I don't want you to hurt them."

"If you come with us, you will not be able to maintain contact with these humans. BUT we will let you see them. They will stay, their lives unchanging."

"Okay."

"You are going to come with us?"

"Yes. When?"

"We need to prepare. In a week. You will not need any possesions, but if you chose to bring some do so. We want you to feel at home Bella, and still show you the home you never had."

"A week?"

"Yes.Sunday night"

"How do you know where I'll be?"

"We will know."

Tomorrow. I'm leaving my life forever, tomorrow. I'm excited. I don't want to leave my dad, but for some reason, I'm not as sad as I should be. In a way you would say I'm following my destiny.
