Prologue
Let's start with a simple introduction. Hello, my name is Bella Swan and I can see ghosts and other supernatural things that do not exist in reality. Now I know that wasn't the introduction you were expecting, now was it.
Let's start with a simpler introduction. Hello, my name is Bella Swan, I am seventeen years old, I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my mother and step-father. Well rather, I used to live in Phoenix until today, you see Phil, my stepfather is a minor league baseball player, so he travels a lot. My mother, Renee, used to stay at home with me, but I could tell it was making her unhappy. So I, Bella Swan have decided to sentence myself to the dreary old town of Forks to go and live with my father. Did I also mention that I can see ghosts and other disturbing things?
See I can't leave that piece of my life out as much as I try. Apparently no one expected me to get the 'gift' because my grandmother died a while back and she supposedly took it with her.
So now I go to Forks to endure my sentence, little did I know that once I got there my life would never be the same again. I would see something that I thought would have been impossible. I would fall in love with that thing and little did I know the danger that it possessed because along with my gift there are ancient rules. Two of them are 'Never, ever fall in love with the ghost or whatever supernatural you encounter, whether it be living or dead.' and the other was, 'We mediums also have enemies, only one that can kill us, it is called the cold ones, each of you will come across it in your lifetime, to overcome it you have to not fall in love with their out of this world beauty nor their strange but lurking eyes, but you must kill them immediately.'
I had done the wrong thing and gone against the ancient laws, I had fallen in love already. Little did I know that he was my enemy.
Because when I looked into those black eyes for the last time, I could see the truth that he had kept from me, he was my enemy, a cold one.
He was a vampire.
I had fallen in love with my weakness and I was to be punished. Little did I at the time know what that punishment would be.
