❝To live and to exist are two incompatible things. To exist is simply to survive, but to live is something much more passionate than that.❞ ~ Tate Carver had always lived in the shadows of Forks, Washington high school. The geek that sat in the corner and read every book in the high school's library. He was a nobody, and he was perfectly content in not having to live up to social standards. Everything changes once the Cullens come to town - a beautiful family filled with Greek Gods and Goddess's. Soon, Tate is pushed from the corner, of which he'd formed his high school career; and is soon thrust into the lime-light and becomes more popular then his cousin, Mike Newton. It doesn't help that with the entrance of Isabella Swan, a new girl who seems just as content in fading with the background as he is, befriends him and brings him into a world where Alice Cullen is the only one who makes him want to show himself - instead of cowering away.

❝Our capacity for love increases with each person we cross paths with throughout our lives, and with each moment we spend with those people.❞ ~ Growing up, Wallace McAtee wasn't what you'd call a "logical decision-maker". He did what he pleased whenever it pleased him, and if it left someone else in the wreckage then they'd eventually crawl themselves out of it. It was the way his family was - every McAtee was only looking out for themselves. And this rings true the moment that Wallace gets caught vandalizing the docks in Forks, by not only a police officer but by the head chief himself. Charlie Swan likes to think he's an open-minded guy, and despite living in a small town like Forks, he does see a lot of once good seeds turn bad. And Wallace McAtee is not just a bad seed, he's an entire garden. So, maybe that's why Charlie gives him a chance that he'd give no one else: community service in the shape of making Charlie's daughter, Bella, act like a teenage girl again after her break-up. Wallace accepts, because what other choice does he have? However, what he'd originally thought was just lugging a sad girl around with him everywhere he went - turned into so much more.

❝I was born a fighter; a gatekeeper of an endless war. Where justice and revenge are dishes best served warm, where lines between right and wrong don't exist anymore - I'm judge, jury, and executioner. I am the weapon that hands out the sentence, I am the last thing you will ever see - but I didn't want to be a fighter. I just wanted to be free.❞ ~ After being transformed into a vampire by Maria for the Mexican army, Charlotte Everett was taught alongside Jasper Whitlock to be an unforgiving soldier. However, with Charlotte's refusal to take an innocent life to prove her loyalty, the brunette is taken into a tomb and buried by the one girl whom she loved - with a boy whom she once believed was her friend helping wholeheartedly. Now, with Bella Swan's pregnancy causing her to deteriorate at a rapid pace, Jasper Whitlock, the boy who buried Charlotte centuries ago, must bring her up again - alongside all the things he did to warp her into the monstrosity she has become. Forced into helping the Cullen's with Bella's pregnancy, Charlotte had nothing to do but to fight against years of hatred that have built up while sitting down underneath the ground; where no one could hear her scream. So Charlotte fights, and fights, and fights; and hopes she can make it out with the soul she had once cherished. And with the help of a certain blonde she just might.

❝I guess we are both angels in each other's stories and demons in our own context.❞ ~ After coming back to Forks at the news of his adoptive brother, Edward's wedding to Isabella Swan, Sebastian Hale finds himself the recipient of Paul Lahote's imprint - and it's safe to say that neither are happy with the arrangement. As if an unwanted imprint wasn't enough, Sebastian finds his family in turmoil whenever they're accused of harboring an immortal child amongst their numbers. The Volturi set to cause a war in Washington once the snow sticks to the ground. All his life, Sebastian had never once thought about life with a boy, much less a werewolf - but if he's learned anything in his few hundreds years, it's to accept any possibility that's given to you. And Paul Lahote is definitely a possibility. [the twilight saga: breaking dawn part 1 and 2] [a sebastian hale stand alone] ©seIcouth
