“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.

Carlisle is very overprotective of his baby girl Bella. Edward falls in love with Bella at first sight and won't take no for an answer. What is Bella to do in these circumstances? AH/AU extremely OOC for everyone, rated M for dark themes, voilence, explicit language, lemons, and a very dark twisted Edward with many issues. You have been warned.

I know you have secrets. Well, I do, too. The only difference is that my secrets have ruined my life. My secrets have forced me to live in a new prison called Forks, and I've been appointed warden. Yes, I am Warden Bella, and my secrets are my prisoners. I just hope they never escape again!

Jasper Hale is a broken soul who has run away from what was normal to him to a new world filled with unknown expectations. He has no trust in himself or for any one other person and has fallen into a bloody cycle he's not sure he wants to end. Is one person all it takes to bring him back to where he wants to be without pushing him over the edge?

*** Violence, Swearing, Sexual content ***

Think 'The Starter Wife' meets 'The Wizard of Oz', only instead of ending up in Munchkinland, she awakens to discover she is now a character in her favorite story.

Caroline Dawson is having trouble coming to terms with her divorce, her husband's pregnant new girlfriend, and the loss of her once perfect love... Christmas is right around the corner, and she decides to spend this first holiday sans-husband alone on the beach in Cancun. During a layover in Chicago, Caro reads Twilight for the first time and is quickly enraptured by it.

But after a near death experience, Caro awakens to find herself trapped amidst the drama that is Forks. Is it a dream, a mental breakdown? What changes will her presence bring to Forks? How will she use her knowledge of the books to change the story? And should she even try?

A city. A secret garden. An enigmatic host. Bella learns that sometimes… destiny grants us our wishes in the most peculiar ways.

Edward Cullen is more than shocked when, five years after he left Forks, Bella Swan calls - warning of Victoria’s intended attack on the Cullen coven – and insisting that the vampires need her help.

A tale of love, revenge, forgiveness and forever. 

Edward is a reclusive College freshman. He holds back from making contact with the girl he believes could be his one true love because he doesn't think he's worthy of her affections. Fate intervenes, and they become friends during a biology class. Will he have the courage to tell her how he really feels or will he be stuck with admiring her from afar?

1999:  Bella and Jasper help each other navigate freshman year.  As it begins to grow into something more, neither of them is certain they are ready to risk the friendship that has kept them sane and centered.  Life has a way of forcing you to deal with things whether you want to or not, and they are overwhelmed.   2006:  After drifting apart, they find themselves thrust back into the same social circles when they fall for siblings Edward and Alice.  Cautious and cordial, they never reveal, or even address, the depth of the feelings they once had for each other.  Until one night, when it all comes flooding back.  Neither of them wants to chase a dream at the expense of what they have today, but what effect will it have on the way they view their current relationships?
