Night is falling soft like spiders web
upon the dreamy lands
A blanked woven of blue silver
by a pair of unseen hands
I keep walking through the darkness
For a second it’s all so clear

I am seizing the perfect moment
but the moment is garbled by fear
The moon is now hidden in clouds
the stars have lost their shine
I am blind and the silence around me
is no longer a friend of mine

It only takes a short moment
For the shadow to dissipate
but nothing can now be the same
for now light can no more have my faith

Chapter 1

     Bella Swan


     Staring out the window, I watched the sun in the sky slowly rise high into the sky.  I know it is unhealthy to stare into the sun, but I was too agitated to do anything else.  My nerves were going haywire and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I heard the doors to my dressing room open.  I could guess who it was without turning around.  You could always tell because there was a big bang when she set all her products on the floor.  Whoever has that many products and wants to use them on me, it has to be her.  Also, she always made the same shrilling noise whenever she saw me.  And, today, her voice was especially clangorous.

     “BELLA!” Alice shrieked, “are you ready to begin your hair?”

     “Mhmm,” I said with half the enthusiasm that she really thought I had.  But she just ignored me.  She dumped all her cosmetics onto the counter, and started to pull and yank at my hair.

     “OUCH!” I yelped when she yanked too hard on one spot of my hair, “can you go slower?  For my sake?”

     “Sure, Sure,” she replied.

     I began to stare out the window again, which showed the parking lot, and looked down at all the guests starting to file into the church.  I watched Charlie, my dad; walk into the church, along with to my mom, Renee, and her husband, Phil.  Looking at my mom and step-dad took me back to about two years ago, when I moved from my mom’s house in Phoenix to my dad’s house in Forks.  And to tell you, it was the best decision I had made in a long time.  Because I met---

     “Are you ready for the big day?” Alice blurted out, making me lose my train of thought.  She knew exactly how I felt.  But I think she felt an uncomfortable silence arousing in the air while she curled my hair into tight curlers that still hurt my head.

     “Nervous,” I said, and a little uneasy.  Today was one of the biggest days of my life.  I was getting married to my love of my life-well I mean the love of eternity.  His name is Edward Cullen.  And the thing that was so bizarre was that he was a vampire.  One of the good ones.  His family is actually “vegetarians,” which mean hey only eat animals, not people.  So that means they are kind-hearted people, once you got past the “don’t be around me stage, I’m dangerous.”

     Edward and I both have a history together.  Not the usual one a normal couple has. Edward saved me from a masochistic vampire, James, which was trying to kill me.  After that, he left me for 9 months to save my soul, and then I saved him from killing himself because he thought I committed suicide.  That almost got Alice, Edward, and I killed by the Voltouri, because I knew their secret.  Then Victoria-James’s soul mate-decided that she wanted to end my life because Edward killed James.  So, Edward murdered her too.  Oh, and the Voltouri came and told me I must become a vampire.  So that is why I am here today.  That’s kind of both of our agreement.  I’m not saying I’m not ecstatic about everything that has happened in my past.  He just knows what I am actually afraid of, and helps me cope with the challenges.  It was his idea that if I wanted him to change me, I had to marry him. And that’s all I ever wanted.

     I’m not really an active person on parties, events, or even weddings.  So that’s why I’m worried.  I usually trip or be extremely embarrassing when I attend anything.  Especially when the spotlight is on me. Also, I haven’t seen Edward since yesterday because he’s not allowed to see me anytime today until the ceremony.  A kind of “tradition” thing.  And when I see him after a long time period, then I get kind of clumsy when I am around him.

     I can just picture myself falling.  Tripping over the train of my dress. I turned and opened my mouth to ask Alice if she can uphold the back of my dress, but then I saw the weirdest expression flicker across her face.  She stopped curling the hairs that could not get into a curler.  Probably a vision.  Alice can see into the future.  Well, not really.  She can see the outcome of someone’s decisions.  Oh! And Edward can read minds.  Well, except mine.  Which is sort of aberrant, since it is only me whom he can’t read, but I am happy with it.

     But the peculiar thing is that the times when Alice has visions that make her stop in her tracks are when they are horrific and that has to do with me…

     “Alice?” I choked out. “Alice? ALICE,” I screamed.  She was not coming out of her trance.  She then dropped her curler, that was still on, onto my head, and I tried to stifle a yelp, but that was unsuccessful.  I grabbed the curler and unplugged it, and threw it on the chair.  I jumped out of my seat and ran towards the door.

     Who can I get?  Esme was greeting guests.  Carlisle was wherever he goes.  Rosalie was picking up my dress, which, surprisingly, she agreed to do. I can’t get Edward, Jasper, or Emmett.  Edward was getting ready, and the tradition thing. They were all in the dressing room down the hall.  Oh, screw the traditions.  I sprinted to the room and opened the door, not caring what was happening inside.  The room was empty.

     “E-E-Edward?” I forced to say.  “Hello? Anyone here?”  The room was empty.

     Dammit. What is going on?

     I decided to go get Carlisle.  He will know what to do… Right?  I ran down the course that would lead me outside, but skidded to a halt at the end of the hallway because I heard voices.

     “…Alice will see when they come in, and I will warn you,” I heard Edward tell someone that was standing next to him.  Who is “they”? What’s going on?  When I heard no voices, I dared a peek around the corner and saw Jacob and Billy standing awe-struck from the words.  Edward had disappeared.

     I was about to run up to Jacob and ask him what was going on, but then I saw Jacob starting escort people and Billy talking on his phone.

     What is going on!  Where did Edward go, anyways?  I walked back to my room.  Alice should be back by now.  If she isn’t, then something is wrong.  I got to my door and saw one shadow pacing up and down the room.  Another shadow was on the ground.  Who else could be in here?  

     And then all the puzzle pieces clicked together in my head.  Why would Jacob be talking to Edward?  Why would Alice be looking at that one decision? Who else would be “they’?  Only one word would explain this whole situation.  Vampire.  Not the Cullens, a new one.  But who?  Edward said all the drama was over.

     The other person in my room must be the vampire.  It had to be.  Waiting for me to return.  I looked more closely at the person on the ground.  It had black hair. It wasn't moving.  Alice! Not her! I gasped at the thought and the shadow stopped pacing, and walked towards the door.

     Oh No!  Not Today! This is a big day!  I decided to run.  But before I could walk two fragments of a step away from the door, it swung open.  Standing before me was---
