A deep, domestic quiet fills the Cullen house. Rosalie is stretched across the sofa, absorbed in a magazine. From the kitchen, the gentle cadence of Esme and Carlisle's conversation drifts in. Alice and Jasper share a silent corner, their presence a still point in the room. My hands move over the piano keys, shaping a new, restless melody. For a suspended moment, everything is calm. Then the forest outside erupts—the violent snap of branches, the thunder of desperate footfalls, the raw, gasping struggle for breath. Something is crashing through the trees, fleeing straight for us, and the peace shatters into a thousand sharp pieces.
