SOOOOORRY I have not updated in so long I have been so busy.

Without further delay here is the next chapter…..

Twenty years before

I was tired; no that is not the word to describe it I was shattered. My feelings were a live wire. I had stayed up all night, all night, full of worry and fear. Fear for what had happened at my party, that stupid god forsaken birthday party that quite nearly turned into a bloodbath and a meal for some incredibly ravenous vampire friends; me that is almost being the food. And worry for how my overprotective vampire boyfriend will react now and what he is going to do.

I got up out of bed and went downstairs with the promise of a well deserved breakfast and then a wild goose chase trying to find a gorgeous Edward who was intent on avoiding me, it was like that song with the lyrics; 'when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.' However in this case it being Edward completely avoiding me. Well we will see!

I was digging through the kitchen cupboards (great looks like Charlie got to them!!) when there was a loud bang on my backdoor. I jump at the sound of it.

"Bella it's me, please let me in." Edward said in a very neutral voice. I sighed in relief and opened the door. There in all his glory stood Edward, his eyes were the brilliant topaz shade that they always were and his hair was exactly the same messy coppery brown. But something was different, he seemed more distant.

"Hi, do you want to come in?" I asked hesitantly.

"Actually I was wondering if you would take a walk with me in the forest." He spoke formally, not at all Edward. I started to get a numb feeling in the pit of my stomach. This was not right.

"Ok let me just grab my coat" I said; as I was still in my pyjamas. I grabbed my coat and put my trainers on. All the while Edward just started walking through my garden to the edge of the forest. Where the trail was that I first put two and two together and decided that it did not matter what Edward was, that I was in too far.

I shut my door behind me and walk towards him careful not to fall over like always. We had barely even stepped on the path when he started the speech that would lead me on a downward slide to the things that would make and break me; and to a place that I never wanted to go.

"Goodbye Bella, we are leaving, you will never see me again." And with that he was gone and my world was shattered. But little did I know that this was not the last time I would hear that sentence. It would be a part of me for a very long time, I just didn't know it yet.

Please, please, please review. Even if you did not like it… thanks….
