BorntoDance94's The Melody Haunts My Reverie

Although she is only two chapters in to this look into missing pieces of cannon, I can already tell that BorntoDance94 has an amazing insight into Edward's mind as he relives the moments that lead up to finding himself in Bella's bed the night after returning from Volterra. He watches her sleep gently at his side while his mind races, jumping from one memory to the next.  Each of them adding to his regret for his responsibility for the whole situation.   Her description of Edward's internal monologue as he stood waiting for the clock tower in Volterra to strike noon is wonderful. 

"Edward, no!" I smiled at the recognition of her voice. It seemed as though the closer I got to my death, the clearer my memory of her became. I had thought I'd been getting her voice exactly right all this time, but now I could see I had been just a little bit off. I hadn't quite heard such urgency in her voice before…. I loved it.

I closed me eyes tightly, conjuring up all the memories of our time together.

The day I saved her from Tyler's van, the first night I visited her while she slept, the dinner at Port Angeles, the Meadow, all those other times I had watched my love sleep, when I had saved her from James, the prom, our last night together….


I could feel the sunlight ricocheting off the stone road in front of the alley and indirectly hitting my chest. I knew it would sparkle in the slightest, and for once, I didn't think of it as the skin of a monster. The grin widened on my face.

The clock struck once again.

It's time now...

Goodbye, Bella. I will see you so very soon...

In enjoyed the two existing chapters as a stand alone two-shot, even though the author's note states it is a WIP.  Can't wait to find out what else she has in store.
