The Dawning
Prologue- A Heartbeat
I don't know what I am, or how I came to be. I only know that I am. I feel as if I have always been, but have been unaware until now. I am simply a mass of consciousness, confusion and thoughts spinning rapidly out of control. There is no need for questioning however…I know everything I need to as I need to. I recognize the thoughts and feelings flowing through me, as if I have known what they were all along.
As thoughts develop, other sensations begin to emerge. I am becoming something more than just consciousness; I am taking a solid shape. I am forming strange parts that are growing, becoming more and more detailed. There seems to be a beginning to me, and an end; a top and a bottom; an in and an out. How very curious this all is. I am floating and my home is not limitless, there are walls that I begin to press against and stretch as I grow.
Through it all the most prominent feeling I am aware of is the one I understand the least. It is a feeling that seems to penetrate every part of me. It makes me feel as if I am going to burst, but somehow, in a good way.
Ba-bum, Ba-bum
I barely have time to question what I've just experienced before this strange mind of mine tells me that I am hearing. I don't have a name for the sound but somehow I know that it is important. Every steady thump fills me, reverberates through everything I am and everything I am becoming. I am drawn to the sound, somehow feeling as if I depend on it, that I am connected to it. It calms me, and comforts me, and that nameless feeling that has been plaguing me seems to grow stronger.
Ba-bum, Ba-bum
Restlessness overtakes me as my safe haven grows smaller and my still growing appendages take up even more space. The thrumming still sounds, but there is another sound I hear now; a faster, softer thrumming that seems to be coming from me. The louder thumping continues, and my own staccato beat grows stronger. The two sounds are different yet harmonious, blending together into a beautiful and peaceful melody. And suddenly…I find the word that explains the feeling that I have been unable to name.
Love.
Ba-bum, Ba-bum
The knowledge comes faster to me now. That sound is the sound of life…a heartbeat. And I suddenly know that my heartbeat has come from it; everything that I am has come from this bigger, louder heartbeat. I am linked to something bigger, a part of something bigger. And the feeling of connection I have towards it…is love.
Mother
The word is foreign to me at first, but then it all makes sense. That is the name of this body that hosts me, this heart that beats and shares its life with me. Though I am uncertain of what is to come and what the future holds I am not afraid. The steady thrum of my mother's heartbeat tells me I am safe.
It tells me that I am loved. And for now…that is all that matters.
(AN)-This is my first attempt at a Twilight fanfict because I love this world so much I'm afraid to try and step in it and wind up messing it up. Hence this prologue is extremely short. Please review and let me know if this story is worth continuing.
