Preface EPOV

I was coming home. It had been two long, grueling years since I had seen my beautiful Bella, and now I was going home.

When I got there, after flying through the forest, feeling exhilarated, I jumped into her room. I quickly scanned the room and was surprised she wasn't here. I mean, I had expected her to have gone to collage, but it smelt like nobody had been in here for a few years. I noticed not everything was gone. Some clothing was missing, all her favorite books, her quilt, all gone. Even the things I had hidden under her bed, gone.

But the weird thing was what was left. Her backpack was filled to the brim with homework from the middle of her senior year at Forks High School. Her computer had been left untouched. I went to turn it on, and when it didn't, I noticed that there was no air conditioning on. No electricity for that matter.

I then smelt the blood on the ground Bella's and Charlie's. What had happened here? I also smelt three vampires. I smelt Victoria's, and two I didn't recognize.

I silently left her room and heard no one in Charlie's room. It was left the same as Bella's. Clothes streaming about, things left out of place. I went downstairs and looked in the fridge. Milk expiring about 18 months ago was in the fridge. All the food looked old and well, even in human terms, gross.

Something wasn't right. I quickly ran to the Forks City Park. A memorial was there that hadn't been there when we left for Maine. A billboard of missing people in Forks sat in the middle of the entrance, started by good ole police Chief Charlie Swan. Unfortunately, Charlie and Bella were in the center.

Immediately, I understood. Victoria had come here, for my Bella, and had killed her and Charlie. There was no other explanation. The two other vampires I had smelt had obviously been accomplices and had gotten rid of the bodies. I was going to find Victoria and kill her. Then, the Volturi were going to give me my wish of death.

Suddenly, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper were there, pulling me away from the billboard. I grabbed Bella's missing person's ad as one last memento before the grief I felt completely surrounded me, and my heart was finally gone.
