Summary: Sequel to Insanity. Bella has been gone for two years! What happens when she returns to Forks? What sort of surprises are in store for Edward?

Sanity

Prologue

If you look deep in side your mind you can see the madness eating away at you.

You try and scream, but the only one to hear your screams is you as you go mad.

Madness By: The Vampire Matt

BPOV: 2 years later.

"This is the best story I have ever read!" squeals Charlotte as she flipped through my manuscript for Insanity. "The way Marie and Anthony fall in love is incredible! And the rest of the characters are so memorable! Not to mention the way it's written is so descriptive and realistic that readers will be able to picture themselves in Marie's shoes." Charlotte had been raving about my story since I'd sent her a rough draft of chapter one. Now it was done and ready to be published.

"I'm glad that you like it, Charlotte," I say as I look around my small living room in Phoenix, Arizona.

"You could very well become the next world famous author, like Stephenie Meyer or J.K. Rowling," gushes Charlotte as she hugs my manuscript to her chest. "But you still haven't told me where the idea came from. You know people are going to want to know."

"It's based off of a true story of a friend of mine. She asked to stay anonymous, so I told her that I would keep her identity confidential," I say nonchalantly. In reality it was my story. From the day I entered the sanitarium owned my Carlisle, to the day I ran away from home at the age of seventeen after making love to Edward. I changed the names and places, but the story was the same and it took me two years to write it.

The biggest reason it took me so long was because I had to get settled into a home, not to mention I was afraid to write the story. I wasn't sure how I was going to write the story in such a way that only a few people would actually know that the story was really about me without the rest of the world figuring it out. I wanted Edward to know that I was okay, and instead of writing him a letter or sending him an e-mail, I wanted to write a book.

I had read a book once about a Vietnam veteran. He had written it in an attempt at giving himself some closure and it had helped him face his problems. He forced himself to write down every single detail of his life whether it was insignificant or horrifying. There was so much detail in each page that I myself had nightmares, but in the end it had helped him start the healing process of his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

His story had inspired me to start writing my own story, so I did. I started my changing the names. I used my middle name as well as Edward's. I also used Alice's first name, Mary, for her character. All of the Cullens had new names and I had changed their last names as well. I had tried to keep the story as close to my experiences as possible other than that though. Once the story had been created though, I was relieved. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I had a good feeling about this.

Charlotte was still going on about my manuscript when Renesmee runs in carrying her bear and bottle of chocolate milk. She was 15 months old and the greatest gift my life had given me. The night I had made love to Edward wasn't without consequences and our daughter was born nine months after I had run away. I was fortunate enough to meet my best friend Katie. She had introduced me to many great friends and her family had accepted me with open arms until I was able to find my apartment and a job to support Renesmee and I. I had also registered on websites that would send me baby things that I would need.

Renesmee walks over to me and holds her arms out to me so I pick her up and sit her in my lap. She lies down and begins sucking on her bottle while I continue to discus the book with Charlotte. Soon we had everything set up and Charlotte was ready to leave. By then Renesmee was asleep in my lap. Once Charlotte was gone I was able to relax and hold Renesmee as I wondered how the Cullens were doing.

EPOV: 2 months after BPOV

It's been two years since I'd last seen Bella or heard anything from her. Alice assured me that Bella was doing fine, but I wanted to see her again. I missed her terribly. I often wondered what she was doing and if she was happy wherever she was. If she was happy then I supposed I was happy for her, but what if she was lost and alone and scared? What if she was hurt!? She could be anywhere! Anything could have happened to her! The possibilities were frightening sometimes!

As I sat in the living room watching the news—hoping I wouldn't hear anything bad about Bella—Alice skips in holding a book in her hands. She was dancing around the living room excitedly. "Edward! You should read this book!" squeals Alice as she drops the book in my lap. I look at the cover: Insanity by: B.M. Swan. I flip to the back cover and read the summary.

Marie was 14 the night it happened, that terrible event she has forgotten. Now in a Sanitarium she's faced with Nightmares that haunt her every night. Dr. Carl Masen decides to take her on personally. Anthony, his son in training, meets Marie and they quickly fall in love. But Doctors shouldn't fall in love with their patients, especially the insane ones. Anthony and Marie can't help what they feel for each other. As the years go by and her memories return to her one by one her love for Anthony grows.

The book had gotten many great reviews and now that I think about it I realized that I had heard about it on television one night, but I had just been passing through the living room on the way up to my room and ignored it. "Okay Alice, I'll read it," I say as I open it to the dedications page.

To my darling Renesmee and her Father,

Thank you for the inspiration.

Renesmee was such a strange name for a child, I wonder why the author would name a child that. With that thought I turned the page and began to read.

By the end of the book I realized that the author was Bella and the story was her story! Who was Renesmee then? Did I have a daughter that I was unaware of? Why would Bella keep her from me? I had so many new questions forming. It was obvious that Bella was fine, but what has she been up to in the last two years? It had taken me two days to read the book. Just as I had closed the book Alice runs in with a huge grin on her face.

"Guess what, guess what, guess what!" squeals Alice as she bounces.

"I don't know Alice," I say with a sigh.

"B.M. Swan is going to be in Port Angeles in three weeks!" crows Alice handing me a piece of paper with a list of tour dates written on it. I look at the dates and grin. Port Angeles was one of her last dates.

BPOV:

I was checking my e-mail and answering fan mail when I open one from this morning.

B.M. Swan,

My name is Alice Cullen and I really like your book! I heard that you're going to be in Port Angeles in three weeks! I can't wait to come meet you and have you sign my book! Oh, and I'm bringing Edward with me too, he really liked your book too. My favorite character is Mary! She's so cool! I bet she likes shopping as much as I do! By this point in the message I had a feeling that Alice knew exactly who she was talking to.

If you come through Forks on your way to Port Angeles you should stop by our house! We all miss you, Bella. Especially Edward. We're just relieved that you're okay. See you in three weeks Bella!

Love,

Alice

With tears in my eyes I write a response and send it to Alice before checking the rest of my e-mails.

APOV:

I was checking my e-mails when I get a reply to the one I sent Bella. I open it and begin reading before squealing excitedly. She was going to come! I had to tell Edward! "Edward!" I scream as loud as I can. Suddenly Edward runs into Carlisle's office.

"What's wrong, Alice?" asks Edward.

"Nothing's wrong, Edward, it's right!" I say excitedly. "Bella's coming!"

End Chapter

A/N: Thanks for reading the prologue of the sequel. I promise that although it seems like I'm moving too fast I'm not. You see what I mean in chapter one. I hope you like my story so far and I'll keep working on this, but I also have to do the sequels of Taboo and Change and keep working on Shadows. The quote at the beginning was written by my friend who calls himself the vampire Matt. He asked that I give him credit since I practically begged him to let me use it in my story. I thought it fit in a way. Thanks for all of the great reviews by the way on all of my stories! You've all been great! Sayonara! =]
