My tattered heart will mend

If and when we love again

Bella decides against cliff-diving, causing the Cullens to continue their life away from her. But how long is Victoria willing to wait before she seeks her revenge? And how can the Cullens protect her without hurting her again?

The holidays have arrived, and at Empire State Acadmey, a school-wide Secret Santa has everyone excited for the holidays. Will Bella and Edward finally have a chance to make sparks fly, or will the mystery of the game keep them in suspense until after the break?

PG-13 for possible language

24-year-old Bella finds herself caught in a battle between rival mobs. In order to protect her mother, she has to work for one of the mobs: the Cullens. It doesn't help that the Boss is an asshole.

With a family of his own to protect and the Volturi coming to once and for all put an end to the Olympic Coven, Jason must go to battle with Aro and the Guard one final time.

However with Aro's wrath so great that he is willing to suspend all vampire laws in order to raise a newborn army of such a scale as to guarantee his victory, the odds are stacked firmly against the Cullens and their allies.

Jason knows, they all know, that above all else, the children must be protected and so they will hold back nothing and sacrifice everything in order to assure the safety of Harry, Chloe, and Renesmee.

Open war is upon vampire-kind and even if the Cullens cannot win this battle of all battles, they must win the war, for the sake of their children. The time of Aro ruling from on high in Volterra must end.

After Edward leaves in New Moon, Bella finds herself pregnant and alone. She turns to the Volturi, who accept her and her daughter, Renesmee. A hundred years later, Nessie convinces her mother and the Volturi to let her throw a grand ball for her hundredth birthday, but fails to mention to her mother that she intends to invite the Cullens.

Ok… I know that there are a lot of other songfics like this, but the songs I use here are ones that I don’t see used a lot.  I will also include links to the songs for each chapter.  I don’t know about you, but I always like to hear what the author is referring to when they talk about a song, it really helps me get into the story!

Chapter 7 (Bella POV) is up!!

I know it's been a while since I've updated anything on here, but I'm stuck in this writer's block. If anyone would like to help me, send me a message and I can give you the details! ^_^ Also, if you're interested in making a banner or anything for the story, let me know!

There is no music without her...

That is what Edward would say would Bella perish because of her pregnancy. And to his point of view, it is his fault, it is because of him, he's full of guilt because he feels he is the cause for her life withering the way it is. And worse, because even unknowing of the possibility, the secret he kept deepest in his heart coming true, is the reason he's losing her. He is losing his own life.

A Short story & Stream of consciousness drabble.

Since her parents were killed in a car crash, 11-year-old Bella is forced to endure an abusive adoptive family. It’s up to Edward to save her before it’s too late.

“Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”– Bob Marley

This story starts right where New Moon left off.

Edward has just proposed and Bella can’t seem to give him a straight answer. She just got back from Italy and is grounded until for-ev-er! Jacob isn’t talking to her and to top it off Charlie and Renée decide to come clean about a huge secret they’ve been harboring.

Can Bella deal with this new information, without her best friend? Can she embrace a past she never knew existed?

As Bella comes to terms with this new revelation and all it entails, Victoria runs rampant with her newborn army in Seattle.
