Full summary: Isabella Marie Swan was born on January 1st 1901 in London, England. Her parents George and Emma Swan had lived their whole lives there in England, and thought that it would be good to move to another country. So on the morning of April 10th 1912 they boarded the RMS Titanic in hopes to starting a new life for their beloved daughter. In the early morning of April 15th 1912 the ship was hit by an iceberg and sunk tragically into the north Atlantic, taking the souls of over 1,500 people, including that of George and Emma Swan; leaving an orphaned and alone Isabella. Luckily while aboard the ship the small family had befriended another family, the Tailor's. As Isabella walks onto the streets of New York alone, she runs into the kind and selfless family again. Two years later the family moves to Chicago, Illinois. And just one year after that Isabella meets a boy named Edward Masen… But on the night of February 13th 1918 Isabella will rest her head on her pillow and drift to sleep. The next morning her parents will go to her room and find her bed empty, she is never to be seen again. 92 years later a girl named Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan will awaken from sleep, go to school and live life normally. That is until a boy named Edward Cullen will notice a very particular ring on the finger of a girl with a very familiar looking face.

The Antique Ring

Prologue: New York 1912

I stood wide-eyed; cold and alone. People rushed passed me tear faced and shaking, frantically looking for their families and loved ones.

That was something I didn't have to worry about… my mother and father would not be found amongst this crowd. In fact, they wouldn't be found in any crowd.

My parents were… dead.

I took in a deep breath of confidence as I placed my foot on America for the first time.

Just as all hope was leaving my body a familiar voice rang in my ear, "Isabella?" The voice said in a both shocked and quiet way, "Isabella?" The voice repeated itself.

I closed my eyes and remember the first time that I had heard my name spoken with that voice…

"Isabella! What a beautiful name. Are you excited to be going to America?" The beautiful redhead by the name of Lily asked me with an even more breathtaking smile on her lips.

I blushed shyly, "Thank you, ma'am." I paused to give her a small smile, "And I'd rather much be back in London, I so love it there." I told her as I looked up at my mother and father, "I've never been anywhere else you see, so I am a bit nervous."

The woman let out an angelic laugh and smiled in my parent's direction, "Do you have family in America?"

"Oh goodness no!" My mother told her, "To be completely honest, I don't think we have family in any place accept England. George and I felt that it would be a good experience for Isabella to live life differently than we did, it is a new start for us." She explained.

"Yes, it's always good to give our children what we never had. Our son Brandon will be sixteen come this July… we had hoped to go to America when he was still a boy, but as life goes on things must be put on hold." The brunette man named Ronald told my parents with an equally friendly expression.

"So Isabella, what do you plan on doing once you get to America?"

"Isabella!?" The woman brings me back into the present, "Oh thank the lord you're safe!" She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a warm hug; I looked up to see her husband and son with equally thankful expressions, "Darling, where are your parents?"

I bit my bottom lip as my chin began to bounce up and down with sorrows, "Oh good god…" Ronald said softly as he placed his hand over his mouth, "Lily… they didn't make it."

"Darling…" The woman whispered to me as tears rolled down my cheeks like lighting, "your parents are in a better place now." She paused as I saw her husband and son give her a nod, "Live with us, please; we'll take care of you. I know your parents would want you to be safe."

"Alright," I sniffed against her stomach "Mother and father would want me to be happy."

"That's a good girl… come along." Ronald said warmly as he picked me up and held me tight against his chest, "You'll be safe with us love."

I closed my eyes and slowly let sleep take me over…

"We're going to have so much fun darling, you have nothing to be sad about." My mother told me as we sat together on our front porch watching the sun set, "Just you wait, you won't be sorry."

"But I love it here… I love England." I said sadly.

Just then my father stepped out from behind the front door, "Come here little lamb," He picked me up and took a seat next to my mother, "It's going to be wonderful. Just think, America, a new country… a new beginning."

"But I don't want a new beginning, I want to live here." I complained against his chest as I rested peacefully in his arms.

"Oh darling, it's going to be smashing." My father chuckled, "We can get a puppy."

"Really!?" I jumped up in excitement, "But I thought they were too messy?"

"Oh… I'm sure we can work something out, right darling?" He asked my mother.

"Yes," She nodded, "We'll get a puppy, and you can name him whatever you like."

"Oh! Mother, father! It's going to be so much fun!" I squealed with a wide smile; they chuckled and smiled at each other.

When I opened my eyes, I was not at home. I was not in England. And I would not be getting a puppy.

When I opened my eyes all I saw were newspapers, being handed out and thrown around like free bread…
