Disclaimer : Twilight belongs Stephenie Meyer, not me. I'm just borrowing her characters for a bit.
I'm from Scotland so my American geography isn't really up to scratch. I know states and some cities but otherwise I pretty much draw a blank. For that most place's will be fictional. I would research and try and get everything right but that would take a lot of time and I have another fiction on the go and a rather hectic personal life so I hope you'll forgive me for that reason.
Prologue.
The Washington State Court was a grand building. Extremely large, with in detail architecture. It had seen more than its fair share of large cases and was revered by the people of Washington.
Court room one was currently home to one of Washington's biggest cases. The woman had put up a real fight about being sent down, her last crime was committed eight months ago and only recently had it gone to trial. Isabella Swan was on trial for armed robbery and murder.
When you looked at her you would never think she was capable of murder. She was only twenty four, around five foot four inches, slight frame, dark, brown, curly hair that fell to the middle of her back, deep brown eyes and a heart shaped face. She looked young and innocent. Not haggard and guilt ridden like a murderer should be.
The jury had been shocked by her appearance, initially they had believed that the case they were hearing about could not be the one this girl was included in. But it was. Even the judge, who had worked in the courts for fifteen years , could hardly believe that this woman was capable of such heinous crimes.
"All rise."
The entire court room stood as the judge entered, and was seated.
"Please be seated." There was a loud rumble as the full courtroom took their seats.
"Isabella Swan." The judge called out clearly in a voice that rung with authority. "You are here today having been charged with armed robbery and the murder of seven persons. How do you plead?"
Isabella Swan, who had been watching the dust flutter and glint through the stream of sunlight pouring through the window, turned her attention towards the judge. A beautiful smile graced her face as she answered his question.
"Not guilty," She stated, her voice both firm and proud. "Your honour." She added as an afterthought.
A/N : So I know it's short but it's all that's needed for now. I didn't want to start posting this fic until I had it finished but I just got a little over excited and ahead of myself! It won't be updated super regularly as my other story 'Left Behind' also needs my attention, but I hope you'll all stick with it and enjoy it. It's not going to be a long fic, I reckon it'll be under ten chapters. Also with this one I'm not running blind like I am with Left Behind. I know exactly where this is going, I know what'll happen and how it will end so hopefully that will help when it comes to updating.
Review for major lovin'
