I'm not a storyteller.
So, before I even begin this, don't expect any flowery language or detailed descriptions or anything. I'm not going to pay attention to rhythm or diphthongs or meter or whatever the hell else writers pay attention to. I'm just getting this all out of my system before it eats at me too much, turning me hollow.
Now that I can look back on the event that changed my life, I know what went wrong. We trusted her too much. We put too much faith into her power. We were not as prepared as we had thought. After all, there was a reason the Volturi had stayed in power for so long. On top of that, I was a dumb kid. I was too sure of myself, and we thought we had an edge over the Volturi because we had love on our side. Love. It was more like we were all under a spell.
My next warning is this: If you're expecting a happy story, you're going to be disappointed. Since I'm not a real writer I don't have to worry about foreshadowing or exposition and I'll spoil something for you. There were deaths. I won't say how many or who just yet, so prepare yourself. And no, this isn't the kind of story where people come back from the dead. But don't worry, it's not a tragic story either. If all us survivors spent the rest of our lives wallowing around in our sorrow, I'd obviously have nothing to tell right now. Some of us recover. Some cope with what we have left. No one forgets. That's just how it goes.
Truth be told, this is a love story. Don't ask why.
Just turn your attention away from your ordinary lives for once and I'll show you.
