For Renesmee Carlie Cullen, reaching maturity meant more than a defined physical completion.  Mental astuteness began at the moment of creation.  With her body finally catching up, it was imperative for her to advance to her next lunar phase.  Three unanswered questions were slowing progression to the peace she so desperately needed.  Who was she?  What could she do?  What was her purpose?  She needed to make a difficult choice between two appealing options.  Being a half-breed was never about even sides.  She wasn’t 50% vampire or 50% human.  Both were dueling for control.  Which would win? Her gift, while simplistic in nature, offered something more than the ability to give.  To explore, she would also need to learn how to take.  Was she strong enough to use it in reverse?  Please join Renesmee in a journey to self-realization, where finding amity means accepting fate and understanding that the light she holds inside herself not only shines brightly enough to free her but the entire world.  Will she disperse the darkness, or will it consume her?

Jacob, an employee at the University of Forks, lives a simple life taking care of his disabled father and buddies on the rez.  Underneath his happy persona, he hides a history of personal loss and missed opportunities that could have changed his future.

Nessie, a privileged student, lives a life full of obligations and forced responsibilities.  With a father who can't relate to her and a mother who is never fully sober, she finds solace in the handsome Jacob who helps her out in her time of need.

From two different worlds, the two find each other despite the dire consequences that will ensue if their budding relationship continues.  Can his past and her sheltered life find a balance and make a love that lasts?  Can family secrets and missed opportunities make their love stronger or completely destroy it?

 Bella hung on because it was comfortable, because she had hope, and maybe she was a little scared to be without him.  But that wasn't enough.  This is a story of knowing how to love even when loving someone means letting them go. AU-Human

Author note:  This story takes place in the present and in the past.  I really love the idea of the Cullen crest and that each member of the family wears it.  Family is THE most important thing to Carlisle and that crest is the visual symbol of that bond that they share.  Since the circumstances of each member joining the family were unique, I thought it would be interesting to see when, how and why Carlisle decides to give them the crest and how they react.  I hope you like what I’ve done.

P.S.  I know some of the characters may seem like they’re acting a bit out of character.  This is because I am choosing to focus on the excitement of Bella becoming part of the Cullen family rather than the drama and tension.  It may get mentioned here and there, but…

The above was my original Author Note for this story, but when I saw that one of my favorite fanfic authors on this site, Elise Shaw, was essentially hounded off this site and fanfiction.net I felt I needed to say something more.

I would like to dedicate this story to Elise.  Her stories were inspired and certainly inspiring.  She inspired me to write and graciously allowed me to reference a part of one of her stories that truly touched me.  I am sure many of her friends and fans on this site feel the same way.  She really is well-loved and admired and will be truly missed.  I hope that she will come back soon or will at least let us know how to find her stories again.

Thank you Elise, for everything.

Isabella Swan is not a normal girl.  She dreams of the present and future, of places she has not been and people she has yet to meet, of events that she hopelessly accepts and tries desperately to change.  Her entire life, Isabella has been going through the motions, numbly resigned to the burdens of her gift, to the tedious existence that she herself has foretold... until one day, she dreams of a boy with amber eyes and copper hair and a meeting in a meadow that will change her life irrevocably.
