In the blink of an eye, your world can change. You can experience the greatest happiness … or succumb to the world’s worst pain, losing someone that had no reason to die …

Edward Cullen, a decorated fireman, after losing a woman in a deadly apartment fire, left his life and family in Seattle, trying to escape the ghost of the beautiful woman, the concert mistress of Seattle Symphony. He stayed away from Seattle, living in Boston, working as an arson investigator until his mother called him, informing him that she had cancer. Without a second thought, Edward moved home to help his family.

Dr. Isabella Swan, a renowned oncologist, specializing in women’s cancers, went through the paces of life. Her mother, an ovarian cancer survivor, was her impetus to become a doctor. However, she was closed-off and had been for many years … since the death of her twin sister, Angela, in an apartment fire. Bella focused on her job, working to forget the empty pain of losing her soul mate. Even eight years after her death, Bella was profoundly broken because of it. She never let anyone in … Until … a handsome, sexy man and a son of one of her patients … Edward Cullen …

Everything in her mind told her it was wrong, but in the blink of an eye, your world can change. You can experience the greatest happiness. Your life can come back to life, especially when you find your new soul mate … the Fire of your Soul.

Summary:  I awake to my Father knocking on my door. He's alive? What did he say? First day of school, how is that possible? Thank God that's possible, this time I won't be fooled!

DISCLAIMER: Twilight and its characters belong to S. Meyer. Otherwise, the rest is my musings on an AU.

Bella is being held captive as a prisoner of the Cullens with no means nor hopes of escaping to safety. When not faced with unspeakable tortures at the hands of captors, she is left in abject isolation – enough to drive a sane person to desperation. Bella uses their projection power in order to escape her bleak circumstances, if only for a few hours. She projects herself across the world one afternoon, after her captors have gone, and encounters Derek. Though they have little time together, Derek quickly becomes a bright spot away from her horrible reality. Gradually, Bella begins to hope that Derek can help her be rescued.

After recent near death events back in Forks, Bella finds herself facing the life Beacon Hills has to offer. But is she truly prepared? And who is this Scott McCall everyone keeps referring to? How does she handle standing in his shoes? (Derek Hale/Bella Swan pairing) MATURE!

When I Pretend: Blood is spilled, and instead of James losing his life, a mate is found and the world is in a world of hurt.  The God of War is about to give lessons on why leaving him and his alone is a good idea.

Rated M for a reason folks.
