Preface

Author's Notes: Many of you may not know me. I'm not entirely sure if that is a good thing or bad thing, but anyways…umm…

This is kind of an experimental story. I'm not entirely sure where this is going, haven't even gotten the entire plot developed yet. So why am I writing this story at all, you ask? Well, first off, Stephanie Meyer has captured my very heart with her books. They are my all time favorites, without a doubt. The moment I finished reading, "New Moon", my mind was flooded with various story ideas. Out of all of them, I have to say this is the one that I favored the most. It's a pretty fresh idea in my mind, but it's been interfering with my writing for the other stories, so I just had to write it down.

Second, even though it may be just a half-assed story I'd like to have people's thoughts on what they think of it. After all, what is a writer without his readers:3 So, I hope you enjoy where this story is going. I shall be updating very slowly, though, so if you decide that this story is actually worth reading, then I ask you to please exercise the greatest amount of patience with me, at least until I finish my main focus, which will allow me to focus on this story more.

Precautions: To those who are familiar with my writing style, you should know what to expect in this story, to those who don't, I shall warn you now. My stories always have some amount of Yaoi ((Male/Male relationships)) in it, so if that offends you in anyway then feel free to walk away from this story. Although, if Yaoi doesn't disgust you, or if it doesn't really bother you all that much, then I please ask you to read along. The Yaoi isn't heavy and there is no sex. Of course, if you still think you will feel uncomfortable reading this, then do not read. I won't, nor do I have the right, to force you to do anything, only influence. :3

Anyways, I don't know where to sort of start this story. It's definitely after "New Moon", but for it to work it can't count the Epilogue, so picture this story taking off a few months after the last chapter, without the Epilogue. So, right after the last chapter, alright:3

Disclaimer: I do not own ANY of the Twilight characters or places. They all rightfully belong to Stephanie Meyer.

Anyways, this is only the preface. It's supposed to be short. Consider it a…sample. :3 Enjoy!

I never thought it would to come down to this. I've kept my secret well hidden to all those I did not trust. I was careful. I didn't even know why I was frightened. I was supposed to be considered invincible, right? You're still part human. I growled audibly, now was not the time to be talked smart to by the very person who's supposed to be protecting me.

My hand tingled, warning me about the impending doom closing around me. As if I didn't know already… And here I was foolishly thinking I was safe around vampires. Not all of them can be as caring as the Cullens… the voice in my head told me. "Yeah, yeah," I muttered under my shaky breath. I noticed a grin spread slowly across my killer's face. How exactly did I get myself into this position? A small flashback of the past few hours played over in my head. Oh…right…Bella. I felt a grin spread across my own face. That girl really was trouble. But no matter what, I was not going to let her be in danger. Edward may be there with her, but he has to lead her away from here. Besides, this…was personal.

"I'm not going to be the one dieing here," I tell him. He laughs his usual cold, cruel laugh. One that I grew to love, one that now pains me to my very core.

"Such confidence you have gained… It's too bad, really… All that time you've spent sulking, me trying to keep you uplifted, and now when you're finally happy, I must end your existence… True irony, is it not?"

I glared at him, my face completely solemn, my eyes reflecting the one emotion coursing through my entire body, giving me strength. I put my palm over the symbol glowing brightly on my hand. There was nothing more to say, we both knew it. Now, it was time for our powers to do the talking.

I was suddenly engulfed in light, a strong wind gusting, but my eyes continued to hold his gaze. This…was where it would all come to an end. Edward... I think, sending my thoughts to the mind reading vampire.

I know, he responds.

I smiled sadly. Just tell him…tell all of them… I'm sorry.
