Summary: It has been 17 years since Isabella Swan’s death, and young Adora has moved to Forks, igniting gossip everywhere she turns. As Adora slowly unravels the clues that lead her down a path riddled with even more questions, she begins to realize that it seems to be more than coincidence, drawing her farther away from the life she knows, and into a world, she does not understand. The closer she gets to the truth, the more her own destiny becomes irrevocably entwined with the girl that haunts the small town. She wonders why everything that’s happening revolves around the mysterious Edward Cullen, and why he seems to hold the key to the answers she’s spent a lifetime searching for.

This story takes place 19 years post Breaking Dawn, and although at first, to those of you who love the classic Edward and Bella love story, it may seem that the initial plot isn't heading in that direction, I promise you it is. I perfer to stick closer to the characters Stephanie originally created.
I consider this story to be pretty much the unofficial 5th installment of the Twilight Series, it takes place after Breaking Dawn, it is 100% canon, which means that it does NOT deviate from the storyline of the books, although in the first few chapters it doesn't seem like it, but trust me, it does.
Edward still loves Bella.
And so on, also for:
Alice and Jasper
Rosalie and Emmett
Carlisle and Esme
and Renesmee and Jacob.
I did not touch these pairings or alter them...trust me.
Vampires are fantastical creatures, and Bella's luck is just too bad for them to have just lived happily ever after, plus...there were a lot of things that Breaking Dawn did not answer...at all. Like what happened to poor Leah? How did Jake and Renesmee end up? What about Edward's belief in his soul, or rather lack there of, what happened to that? Is Rosalie going to be a *insert bad word that rhymes with witch* forever? Won't the Volturi come after them again? What happens to the humans decades later? How long did the Cullen's stay in Forks after Bella's change?
There were A LOT of unanswered questions, so I wrote Eternal Horizon to answer them.
It's written with 99.999999% no grammatical errors, because I'm sure some managed to somehow get past me, and in my opinion, it's written as closely to the original books as I possibly could, I studied how Stephanie wrote and tried to make the flow of Eternal Horizon similar.
The summary that I originally went with hasn't seemed to garner enough interest to do this story justice, so here's an excerpt for you:
The memory made anger flush though me. “You should have been frightened.” I spat bitterly. “But it seemed as if no matter what I said to you—no matter what I did—you were utterly incapable of fearing me.” I gritted my teeth in frustration—irritated by the fact that perhaps my hallucination may have been correct. Maybe there wasn’t anything that I could have ever done. “What a poor excuse for a vampire I was,” I groaned, “unable to frighten one tiny, fragile human girl—the laughing stock of monsters everywhere, I’m sure.” I sighed remembering Emmett’s teasing—
“Maybe you’re not as scary as you think you are,” he had chuckled. “I bet I could have frightened her better than that.”
“And, maybe, I should have let him—seeing as how I had proved to be utterly incapable of doing so.” I muttered sourly. I imagined that somewhere Bella was frowning petulantly at me for saying that—it made a smile tug at the edge of my lips. She never had liked me insisting upon what I’d thought was best for her—even if I’d only been trying to protect her.
Please read and review, just take five seconds and tell me what you think, PLEASE?
And maybe once you read it, you can think of a better Summary that will get people's attention.
The main characters herein depicted, and the rules of the world that they are bound in, are not of my creation. They do not belong to me. They belong to Stephanie Meyer. She created a universe for us all, where we might lose ourselves in the untamable desires and dreams of our own hearts. I am very grateful for all she has given us, for she has breathed a new hope into lives, shrouded by the attempts our society has made, to repress our imaginations, and limit our struggle to reach far and beyond the boundaries of our own fragile existence. I will claim no credit for the inspiration of a lifetime, I will however say, that it was my own fatally flawed dissatisfaction with the closing fragments of the world she created, that spawned the words, of which I have carefully pieced together here, in my own refusal to accept the fact that Edward and Bella’s story was complete. After all, they are vampires, and vampires are immortal. Moreover, as long as they exist, so does their love. And if they cease to exist; does their love cease to exist too? Or is love eternal, undying…forever?
I present to you, my own vision of Stephanie Meyer’s world, where faith knows no bounds and love never dies.

Summary:  You know those fics where Edward doesn't come back and Bella forgets about him and five seconds later she's in bed with Jacob and none of it makes any damn sense? Yeah, this isn't one of them.
This story picks up from the moment in New Moon when Jacob has driven Bella home after the cliff diving incident, right before he catches the scent of Alice. Only in this telling, Alice wasn't looking, so there's no sudden appearance at Bella's house, no Rosalie calling Edward and sending him on a suicidal mission to Volterra, and no reason for Bella to do anything but believe that Edward didn't love her anymore. This is simply a story of what might have happened if everyone stayed mostly in character and Edward's return was delayed. Yes, delayed. Because we all know that he was "this close" to coming back on his own anyhow. So what would have happened if Bella had tried to move on with her life? Would she have found happiness with Jacob? And would Edward be too late?
* First in a series of stories
~I thought of Jacob’s warm arms wrapped around me, his infectious laughter, and his ability to keep me from falling to pieces again… The pain choking my heart relaxed and I could breathe.~

~“More than anything,” I whispered, not caring what I'd just agreed to. When it came to Bella, it didn't matter what the question was. I just wanted.~

Drawing lines is, for a time, on hiatus. Please be patient with me. I'll let you know what's going on when I know.

The whole world is turned upside down when Bella is attacked in Port Angeles and she must be changed if Edward wants to keep her in his life. It is clear from the beginning that Bella is much more than she seems and the circumstances involving her attack and new found abilities prove to be a challenge that Edward and the rest of the family may be unable to prevail against.
When Bella turns to an unlikely source for help, will she be able to heal? Or will they become the keepers of the pieces of her broken heart?
