Bella, turned into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen in the year 1837, and Edward, determined to enter the Great War against his family's wishes, must face the potential for both love and despair embodied in one another.  Through personal journeys and adversity, they confront the limits of their faith in order to determine whether they can share a future. BxE

What if Carlisle Cullen had not always been the saint he is in the Saga? What if he had taken an easier way, and done what came to him naturally as a vampire?

This is my idea of how his life might have been.

Bear with me on the dates and when people may or may not have existed. Haha. :)

Bannercredit goes to me :) yes, that's me in the banner photos :)

Nine years has passed since Edward left her cold and alone on the forest floor. She has become familiar with the darkness and has relied upon Jacob to be her warmth and light.  After nearly a decade of living in the shadows of others, a crushed and broken Bella wanders off into the forest in search of the place where everything had gone wrong. 

She's known the cold bite of Ice.  She runs from Fire's all consuming intensity. What she finds on her jilted journey will change the way she remembers both forever.

What happens when the life you know falls apart, leaving you to pick up the pieces when you would rather fall apart? What happens when the love of your life is taken from you, yet haunts your dreams and your soul? How can you ever live when you would rather die? Until you awake from a dream and see your love has returned . . .

What's meant to be will always find a way.

A short but sweet tale of what might have happened had the wolves waited until Laurent broke the treaty.

"Searing pain flowed through my body as Laurent ripped into my neck. So much for painless. But an odd thing happened, just as the pain started, Laurent threw me to the ground while looking off into the distance with what my pain seared brain could only make out to be shock and fear spread across his face. "

Bella Swan moved to Forks, Washington after being brutally attacked and turned into a vampire in Phoenix. She's desperately trying to put her life back together when she finds out that she's not the only vampire in Forks. Will the Cullen Family and Edward in particular be able to show there that being a vampire isn't so bad after all?

QUOTE:

Edward's family wouldn't care if we took off together. He wasn't a child. He was old enough to be Charlie's grandfather and well knew how to handle himself even if I was simply a seventeen-year-old girl. Edward also had more money at hand than I was even aware of; I always tried not to think about just how rich the Cullens were.

We could literally disappear for months or years on end, checking in with the rest of the Cullen's periodically and they wouldn't think anything of it other than that they might miss us. We could, quite literally, travel the world.

To Edward's horror, he is unable to contain his bloodlust any longer and may have just killed his beloved Bella.

What if Bella hadn't moved her junior year with her father.  Instead she moved with her mother to Florida.  Upon visting her father before leaving for college she encounters two members of the Cullen Family.  Alice's vision tells her that Bella would change their lives forever. 

Edward's first encounter with Bella is 30,000 feet in the air on the way to Darthmouth.  With no means of escape will he be able to resist the temptation of her blood?  Or will he bring the whole plane down for a taste?

  ~Edward's POV: Chapter 2

I closed my eyes to listen to the tones of voices around me. I heard at least one hundred passengers. It would be a massacre. Could I really justify destroying all the lives of everyone on this plane just to taste her blood?

Isabella Swan never belonged to the world she was born into. She was always destined to become a vampire. They interlaced into her future. But what if when she came to Forks and met the Cullen’s, she already had been twined in their dark world not too long ago? She’s still human, but with friends and family living in twilight.

Anna Russo has received a new identity and is on the run from her abusive ex-boyfriend with her young son in tow. She ends up in Forks, where she is now known as Bella Swan, and meets Edward Cullen. While she can't deny the unexplainable pull she feels toward him, she also can't shake off the feeling that he is not quite normal and not quite...human. Does she dare explore a new relationship with Edward while in fear for her life? Will Edward be able to put her safety first and stay away from the family he's always dreamed of having? And what will Bella's jilted ex do when he finally does catch up with her?

Sometimes, humans are monsters, too.
