What would you do during a once in a lifetime event, even for a vampire? Go out and party, spend time with your family, be intimate with your mate? How about all of the above! Who would have guessed that that once in a lifetime event could change everything you know.

The last time this event occurred, they think was the time of the dinosaurs – it’s that rare. This rare occurrence causes a disturbance in the lives of all vampires and shifters and there is nothing, anyone can do about it, absolutely no one.

Can everyone learn to live again after their lives have been completely changed or will it be the cause of their destruction?

Written from Bella's PoV.

The story behind the locket. A companion one-shot to "Beloved".

Thanks to RavynNightstorm for the fantastic banner.

During her freshman year, Bella Swan's mother forces her to join the Forks High band.  Instead of the torture Bella was expecting, she actually meets the five people who will become the best friends of her life.  But amid the flirting, jokes, and pranks, something unexpected happens to Bella.  She finds herself unable to escape one devastating mistake and fears her life is over forever...at the age of fifteen. AU/AH.  

One is not free to make mistakes in a small town like Forks.  The tiniest misstep, the smallest indiscretion is fair game for the gossip mill for years.  And the mistake I had made was certainly not a small one.  I would never be able to escape the shadow of what I had done; and worst of all, absolutely everyone knew about it.

There will be no teen pregnancy or illegal drug use in this story.  Anything else that could realistically happen in a high school setting is a possibility.

Finalist for Best Secondary Characterization and Best Action or Drama Story:

Life for Isabella Swan had never been easy. Growing up at the mercy of an abusive alcoholic father and mentally unstable mother had made her age far before her time.

Two years later, he is suddenly thrust back into her life and has something to say. What is a girl supposed to do when finds herself about to marry the nephew of the man who had both saved her life and shattered her heart? That summer stands between her and the life she always wanted.

Lies are told, mistakes are made, and hearts are broken. Will she get her happy ending after all, or will her saving grace destroy them all?

In a fraction of a second, I was at Bella's side, the rest of my family still frozen. I put my hands on Bella's shoulders.

"Let her go, Rose," I said, my voice deadly.  She just stared back at me grimly. I searched her mind, trying to get a hold of her plans.  There was a resolve, a plan to protect the baby at all costs.  And an aching desire she couldn't hide to have that baby as her own....

******************

Her face was so deathly still, no response.  She was unearthly pale, and there was the slightest blue tinge to her skin, the sky pale at dawn.  As I pressed my lips to hers, they were too cool.  I blew in gently twice, watching her chest rise and fall mechanically. I moved my mouth to her ear as my hands began to move again.

"Come on, Bella, love," I whispered.  "Come on, sweetheart.  I'm right here.  You did it. You've got a healthy baby. She's so beautiful. You were strong enough.  Now it's time for you to come back.  She's waiting.  I'm waiting, love.  I'm waiting for you, always...
