Spring 2007
Bella Swan is caught between ice & fire.
Bella is nearing high school graduation and finds herself engaged. She's terrified of marriage, but knows it is the only way to ensure that Edward himself will change her. Carlisle has given his word that he will take the responsibility if Edward will not. She is thankful for that; however it is still Edward she wants to hand her life to.
Edward sill holds out hope for an alternative to Bella becoming like him. He knows, though, that the Volturi are still watching and waiting and that they have no qualms about disposing of Bella themselves if he fails to keep his promise. After his self-imposed exile from Bella's life, he has come to realize that he can never bear to exist without her in his.
Though Jacob was Bella's reason to live while Edward was gone, Edward's return once again relegates him to the lonely role of "just a friend." The enmity between the two rivals is as strong as ever. Jacob has disappeared from La Push having received an invitation to the wedding; witnessing the union would be unbearable.
Though the relationship between the shifters and the Cullens is not quite as strained as before, the pack still threatens war if Bella is changed. Knowing what caused Jacob to leave the reservation hasn't helped the tension between the group.
Victoria has been quietly biding her time. She waits for the day when the Cullens become overly confident and let their guard down for a moment. She wonders if perhaps Bella's guardians will become less protective once she has become one of them.
The Cullens have settled back into life at their Forks home. Carlisle has returned to his work at the local hospital. Esme stays busy in the Cullen home taking care of the family. Bella has become more dependent on her for support and as a mother figure.
Rosalie and Emmet have left the Forks public eye having once again "graduated and married," but are still based in the Cullen home. Jasper has also graduated again and is quite relieved to be having less human contact for the time being.
Alice is happily planning graduation festivities for Bella. Having already "graduated" numerous times herself, she is excited to make the event memorable for Bella whether she likes it or not. She and Jasper still share the Cullen home as well.
Charlie is still furious with Edward. Bella is becoming increasingly frustrated with Charlie's aversion to Edward. Not to mention his recent matchmaking efforts. She is beginning to wonder if he and Jake are conspiring against her...
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A SWEET SACRIFICE?
