;None of them had ever seen the boy before�察�or dreamed of his existence�察�until the day they watched
him burn in their mother's arms。 I can only guess that their mother had kept her secret to protect them
from this exact outcome。 But why had she created him in the first place�拭�Who was he�察�and what had he
meant to her that would cause her to cross this most uncrossable of lines�拭�Tanya and the others never
received an answer to any of these questions。 But they could not doubt their mother's guilt�察�and I don't
think they've ever truly forgiven her。
;Even with Aro's perfect assurance that Tanya�察�Kate�察�and Irina were innocent�察�Caius wanted them to
burn。 Guilty by association。 They were lucky that Aro felt like being merciful that day。 Tanya and her
sisters were pardoned�察�but left with unhealing hearts and a very healthy respect for the law___;
I'm not sure where exactly the memory turned into a dream。 One moment it seemed that I was listening
to Carlisle in my memory�察�looking at his face�察�and then a moment later I was looking at a gray�察�barren
field and smelling
the thick scent of burning incense in the air。 I was not alone there。
The huddle of figures in the center of the field�察�all shrouded in ashy cloaks�察�should have terrified me
!they could only be Volturi�察�and I was�察�against what they'd decreed at our last meeting�察�still human。 But
I knew�察�as I sometimes did in dreams�察�that I was invisible to them。
Scattered all around me were smoking heaps。 I recognized the sweetness in the air and did not examine
the mounds too closely。 I had no desire to see the faces of the vampires they had executed�察�half afraid
that I might recognize someone in the smoldering pyres。
The Volturi soldiers stood in a circle around something or someone�察�and I heard their whispery voices
raised in agitation。 I edged closer to the cloaks�察�compelled by the dream to see whatever thing or person
they were examining with such intensity。 Creeping carefully between two of the tall hissing shrouds�察�I
finally saw the object of their debate�察�raised up on a little hillock above them。
He was beautiful�察�adorable�察�just as Carlisle had described。 The boy was a toddler still�察�maybe two years
of age。 Light brown curls framed his cherubic face with its round cheeks and full lips。 And he was
trembling�察�his eyes closed as if he was too frightened to watch death coming closer every second。
I was struck with such a powerful need to save the lovely�察�terrified child that the Volturi�察�despite all their
devastating menace�察�no longer mattered to me。 I shoved past them�察�not caring if they realized my
presence。 Breaking free of them altogether�察�I sprinted toward the boy。

Only to stagger to a halt as I got a clear view of the hillock that he sat upon。 It was not earth and rock�察�
but a pile of human bodies�察�drained and lifeless。 Too late not to see these faces。 I knew them all
!Angela�察�Ben�察�Jessica�察�Mike。。。。 And directly beneath the adorable boy were the bodies of my father
and my mother。
The child opened his bright�察�bloodred eyes。
3。 BIG DAY
My own eyes flew open。
I lay shivering and gasping in my warm bed for several minutes�察�trying to break free of the dream。 The
sky outside my window turned gray and then pale pink while I waited for my heart to slow。
When I was fully back to the reality of my messy�察�familiar room�察�I was a little annoyed with myself。 What
a dream to have the night before my wedding� �That's what I got for obsessing over disturbing stories in
the middle of the night。
Eager to shake off the nightmare�察�I got dressed and headed down to the kitchen long before I needed to。
First I cleaned the already tidy rooms�察�and then when Charlie was up I made him pancakes。 I was much
too keyed up to have any interest in eating breakfast myself!I sat bouncing in my seat while he ate。
;You're picking up Mr。 Weber at three o'clock�察─�I reminded him。
;I don't have that much to do today besides bring the minister�察�Bells。 I'm not likely to forget my only
job。; Charlie had taken the entire day off for the wedding�察�and he was definitely at loose ends。 Now and
then�察�his eyes flickered furtively to the closet under the stairs�察�where he kept his fishing gear。
;That's not your only job。 You also have to be dressed and presentable。;
He scowled into his cereal bowl and muttered the words ;monkey suit; under his breath。
There was a brisk tapping on the front door。
;You think you have it bad�察─�I said�察�grimacing as I rose。 ;Alice will be working on me all day long。;
Charlie nodded thoughtfully�察�conceding that he did have the lesser ordeal。 I ducked in to kiss the top of
his head as I passed!he blushed and harrumphed !and then continued on to get the door for my best
girlfriend and soon´to´be sister。
Alice's short black hair was not in its usual spiky do!it was smoothed into sleek pin curls around her
pixie face�察�which wore a contrastingly businesslike expression。 She dragged me from the house with
barely a ;Hey�察�Charlie;
called over her shoulder。
Alice appraised me as I got into her Porsche。
;Oh�察�hell�察�look at your eyes� ─�She tsked in reproach。 ;What did you do�拭�Stay up all night�拭─�

;Almost。;
She glowered。 ;I've only allotted so much time to make you stunning�察�Bella!you might have taken
better care of my raw material。;
;No one expects me to be stunning。 I think the bigger problem is that I might fall asleep during the
ceremony and not be able to say 1 do' at the right part�察�and then Edward will make his escape。;
She laughed。 ;I'll throw my bouquet at you when it gets close。;
;Thanks。;
;At least you'll have plenty of time to sleep on the plane tomorrow。;
I raised one eyebrow。 Tomorrow�察�I mused。 If we were heading out tonight after the reception�察�and we
would still be on a plane tomorrow。。。 well�察�we weren't going to Boise�察�Idaho。 Edward hadn't dropped a
single hint。 I wasn't too stressed about the mystery�察�but it was strange not knowing where I would be
sleeping tomorrow night。 Or hopefully not sleeping 。。。
Alice realized that she'd given something away�察�and she frowned。
;You're all packed and ready�察─�she said to distract me。
It worked。 ;Alice�察�I wish you would let me pack my own things� ─�
;It would have given too much away。;
;And denied you an opportunity to shop。;
;You'll be my sister officially in ten short hours。。。 it's about time to get over this aversion to new clothes。;
I glowered groggily out the windshield until we were almost to the house。
;Is he back yet�拭─�I asked。
;Don't worry�察�he'll be there before the music starts。 But you don't get to see him�察�no matter when he gets
back。 We're doing this the traditional way。;
I snorted。 ;Traditional� ─�
;Okay�察�aside from the bride and groom。;
;You know he's already peeked。;
;Oh no!that's why I'm the only one who's seen you in the dress。 I've been very careful to not think
about it when he's around。;
;Well�察─�I said as we turned into the drive�察 �I see you got to reuse your graduation decorations。; Three
miles of drive were once again wrapped in hundreds of thousands of twinkle lights。 This time�察�she'd
added white satin bows。

;Waste not�察�want not。 Enjoy this�察�because you don't get to see the inside decorations until it's time。; She
pulled into the cavernous garage north of the main house�察�Emmett's big Jeep was still gone。
;Since when is the bride not allowed to see the decorations�拭─�I protested。
;Since she put me in charge。 I want you to get the full impact coming down the stairs。;
She clapped her hand over my eyes before she let me inside the kitchen。 I was immediately assailed by
the scent。
;What is that�拭─�I wondered as she guided me into the house。
;Is it too much�拭─�Alice's voice was abruptly worried。 ;You're the first human in here�察�I hope I got it
right。;
;it smells wonderful� ─�I assured her!almost intoxicating�察�but not at all overwhelming�察�the balance of the
different fragrances was subtle and flawless。 ;Orange blossoms。。。 lilac。。。 and something else!am I right�拭─�
;Very good�察�Bella。 You only missed the freesia and the roses。;
She didn't uncover my eyes until we were in her oversized bathroom。 I stared at the long counter�察�
covered in all the paraphernalia of a beauty salon�察�and began to feel my sleepless night。
;Is this really necessary�拭�I'm going to look plain next to him no matter what。;
She pushed me down into a low pink chair。 ;No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with
you。;
;Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood�察─�I muttered。 I leaned back in the chair and closed
my eyes�察�hoping I'd be able to nap through it。 I did drift in and out a little bit while she masked�察�buffed�察�
and polished every surface of my body。
It was after lunchtime when Rosalie glided past the bathroom door in a shimmery silver gown with her
golden hair piled up in a soft crown on top of her head。 She was so beautiful it made me want to cry。
What was even the point of dressing up with Rosalie around�拭�
;They're back�察─�Rosalie said�察�and immediately my childish fit of despair passed。 Edward was home。
;Keep him out of here� ─�
;He won't cross you today�察─�Rosalie reassured her。 ;He values his life too much。 Esme's got them
finishing things up out back。 Do you want some help�拭�I could do her hair。;
My jaw fell open。 I floundered around in my head�察�trying to remember how to close it。
I had never been Rosalie's favorite person in the world。 Then�察�making things even more strained between
us�察�she was personally offended by the choice I was making now。 Though she had her impossible beauty�察�
her loving family�察�and her soul mate in Emmett�察�she would have traded it all to be human。 And here I was�察�
callously throwing away everything she wanted in life like it was garbage。 It didn't exactly warm her to
me。

;Sure�察─�Alice said easily。 ;You can start braiding。 I want it intricate。 The veil goes here�察�underneath。; Her
hands started combing through my hair�察�hefting it�察�twisting it�察�illustrating in detail what she wanted。 When
she was done�察�Rosalie's hands replaced hers�察�shaping my hair with a feather´light touch。 Alice moved
back to my face。
Once Rosalie received Alice's commendation on my hair�察�she was sent off to retrieve my dress and then
to locate Jasper�察�who had been dispatch
