PREFACE

I thought life forever meant peace. Amazing peace. I had everything I could've ever asked for and more. I found love and became more than just the average Bella I was once. I gave birth to a miracle. I had more meaning. I had a family larger than who I was and better than I could've imagined. I found friends who risked their lives for not only me but my family. I got married and experienced pain and joy numerous times. I was starting to believe that I was doomed for danger and was out of luck many times. My human life was dangerous and I spent it dodging bullets. I never felt like the human world was meant for me and I was destined for so much more. I was given many chances to fix who I was and my reason and love of my life gave me my strength. He loved me so much and I returned it. He gave me a new life. He gave me meaning to my name. He was Edward Cullen. He gave me Renesmee Cullen.We went through many problems but seeing us in one gave us faith. We promised her safety and our love was going to be an eternal flame. I never thought I could lose her so quickly. She slipped away like sand through my fingers. Renesmee was gifted and surprised everyone. She had the eyes of many but her abilities attracted much unwanted attention. She was in danger and knew it. Many were in danger and they were coming back. They came back in search of blood. They came back for a family member. They came for all of our gifts. He came for my child and my sister's child. No one was safe. -Bella
