I DREAM OF RAINBOWS
Disclaimer: The Cullen's, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.
The awesome and talented dowlingnana searched out my errors and corrected them.
CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE
My Gran always told me to dream of rainbows, but, don't always expect them to be seen only after a rainfall. That rainfalls and storms sweeping across the land was God's way of reminding the people of the history of his promise to Noah and the reason for that promise. That He would shine a rainbow as a reminder that He was keeping His promise to mankind.
"Now, my child, that story is in the Bible and we all bear witness each time the skies opened to pour forth his tears because of the world's stupidity and cruelty at times. But, child, those aren't the only rainbows that God grants to his people."
"But, Gran, the Bible only talking about rainbows after a storm. Gran, are you sure you know what you're saying?" I quietly tell her and then asked with a bit of a smirk as I believe she is starting to lose her mind the way children do. And instead of being insulted she just smiled and gave a slight chuckle.
She answered, "No, child, I'm quite sane. In each obstacle conquered, in each goal a person achieves, in each prayer answered, these are all rainbows as well. And, some reach far enough out for many to see, or, remain small enough for only a few to see.
"It makes no difference how small or how big the rainbow is or how many people view it, it still acts as a reminder of a brighter tomorrow. And, lets us know that if we believe then we can reach for our personal stars and gain a hold of them. Just remember that as you dream of achieving something and then work towards reaching your goal that you are dreaming of rainbows and once that dream comes true you have received your rainbow." She explained in a voice that you would swear was filled with nothing but wisdom. And, then it was shortly after that visit that she was gone from me in a visual sense, but, in a very personal, spiritual sense she remains by my side.
So, as I stand before the doorway that leads to hell and the devil himself, I think about to those words of my Gran and wonder what wisdom she could pass on to me now that could help me to turn this situation around to where I could see more rainbows?
Yeah! Yeah! I know you're wondering what I'm talking about and what brought me to the point that I'm thinking I'm about to open the door to enter hell and meet once again the devil that controls it.
I guess the best way to explain is to tell you about my biggest rainbows in my life that have occurred up to this point. First there was my graduation from high school; something that, at times, I believed would never come quickly enough. Then when I graduated from college with my BA and once again as I got my Masters in English and Journalism. These events were all shared with my family and friends, both old and new.
From there I found out as I was looking for a job with some of the publishing houses that I didn't have to worry about working anytime soon if I chose not to. Gran had left me a small fortune; something that would last me a lifetime, really, and as her attorney said, 'beyond that to my children if I invested it wisely.' I did take that advice to heart and sought out professional help to do exactly that, but, still I wanted to work and feel like I was contributing my fair share to the world, so, I did continue seeking employment. It was found after about three months of searching.
It was during those three months of searching and then another year as time permitted that I was able to achieve an important dream of mine: writing a best seller and having it made into a movie. Bingo! Another rainbow that Gran described.
My novel was published, did become a best seller and was bought to be made into a movie. However, never did I realize that the CEO of Cullen Productions, Inc. would be the one to buy my book. Before the deal went through I had talked with my cousin Rosalie who happened to be an established actress about the offer and she told me that the company was highly regarded in the show biz industry.
In fact, both of my cousins had achieved their dream rainbows when Rosalie Hale became a much sought after actress and Mary Alice Brandon became a renowned dresser and fashion designer to the stars. But, it was Alice, as she preferred to be called, that did warn me about the playboy CEO of the company and filled in the facts of how he had taken over the company after his father had retired. Of course, she also told me of how his brothers, Emmett and Jasper were also very much involved with the company as well.
It was Jasper Whitlock Cullen that had approached me about buying my book, but, I informed him upon the advice of my financial advisor that I would be retaining the copyrights of my accomplishment. But, Rosalie and Alice, both, advised that I have written into the contract that I should have a say into who will portray the main characters in the movie. And once the deal was signed, sealed and delivered I was introduced to the director of the film, Emmett McCarty Cullen.
Then fur began to fly from the first meeting with Mr. Edward Cullen himself. For some reason he thought that I was part of the total deal and everything has been in a complete upheaval from that point onward.
Oh, well, I guess I had best fill you into all of the events that have led me to this point of getting ready to pull the plug on the whole project and kick the shit out of asshat Cullen.
A/N: Hope that you will enjoy this new journey of our beloved couples. What all has made Edward an assward? What type of problems has Bella encountered with him? How has she handled it all and what is she planning to do to end everything to be able to just walk away?
