PROLOGUE
Bella Cullen looked around uncertainly. She could feel something in the ground. A faint vibration that seemed to come closer every second.
"Mommy?" Renesmee Cullen asked, seeing her mothers hesitant expression.
She held her hand out to touch Bella's neck. Bella leaned forward and felt Nessie's images come into her head.
Edward, her husband.
Alice and Rosalie, her sister's-in-law. Emmett and Jasper, her brother's-in-law.
And finally, Jacob Black. Nessie wanted to go to them.
"Not yet." Her mother said reassuringly. "Soon." Suddenly, the vibrations became heavier, closer.
Renesmee looked around in fear as Bella tensed. Something was coming. And fast. Bella's eyes swept the forest around them.
Every tree, bush, and animal was clear and sharp. Squirrels jumped from limb to limb on the trees, fleeing from the oncoming danger. Birds rushed upward frantically, swarming the sky till the sun was no longer visible.
Renesmee held on tighter to Bella, whimpering. "Shhh." Said Bella, comforting her daughter, even though she felt like whimpering herself.
She opened her mouth, and smells flooded in, strong and rich. But out of all the scents, Bella could not smell any blood. Which meant whatever was coming wasn't human.
Where was Edward? Bella thought, scanning her surroundings. She knew he woudn't be able to hear her thoughts, but he should have been able to hear Renesmee's. The vibration changed to a shaking. It was coming very close.
Suddenly, someting moved out of the corner of Bella's eye. It moved sharp and quickly, too hard to see clearly for even her eyes. "Mommy?" Nessie asked, her voice shaking. "Whats going on?"
Then, more sharp, quick movements flitted through the surrounding trees.
"Renesmee." Bella said quietly. "Climb down and stay by my side. Hold on to me." Nessie obeyed, grasping Bella's leg tightly.
"Who's there?" Bella shouted, scanning the forest as more of the things moved around. "Who are you people?" No one replied.
Nessie began crying. "Don't cry, honey. Its alright." Said Bella, even though she wasn't so sure of that herself.
"Wheres daddy?" Asked Nessie through sobs. "I don't know." Bella replied. Where was he? She thought. Wouldn't he have felt the shaking by now?
Suddenly, a dark shape emerged out of the trees and swooped at Renesmee. He grabbed her up and squeezed her till she could barely breathe.
"Mommmy!" Came her exasperated cry as she wheezed. "Nessie!" Bella screamed, running towards Nessie's captor.
But she didn't make it. Something hard hit her head, and she fell with a gasp. The last thing Bella remembered was a blazing fire and her baby's still body next to hers.
