A/N: I wrote this chapter first however in my excitement I forgot to post it before chapter one. This chapter will lay the ground work for my madness that I am wrecking on the Twilight world.

disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of it's subsidiaries.

Please take the time to give a review I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, complaints, suggestions, or if you just want to say hi that would be nice too. Let us all take the time to say something nice to someone no matter who they are or where they come from, the color of their skin, national origin, language, etc.


The Prelude of 2004

It's 2004, Prato d'Era Italy…Somewhere north of Volterra…a woman panting hoarsely as she hastens down a stark and narrow corridor, as she walks her stiletto heels echoing off the walls. Clutched tightly in her arms, firmly pressing it against her chest is something of great importance.

After walking some distance she reaches a steel door her actions give her pause, she takes a breath releasing it calmly into the air. In front of her is a keypad and after entering a series of nine digit numbers the door unlocks.

She swings it open then heads down the corridor; this one is dimly light by florescent lighting. Upon reaching a set of double doors at the end of the hall, she stops, calming her nerves. She is over flowing with excitement; she exhales, and then pushes through the doors.

She doesn't notice the stranger leaving as he passes her on his way out the door, the tall black haired man with red eyes and chalky skin. He stares briefly at her before passing through the double doors without a word.

Stationed at a lab table staring into a microscope sits a man, pale in completion also with dark hair however his eyes are amber in color. He writes as he looks into the object studying the subject contained therein.

"Doctor," she says with whisper.

"Yes, Genevieve" he said calmly.

"The results of our testing," she says handing over a file.

He flips through the pages, scanning the data, frantically glancing over the pages. He finishes jolting his heard around to face her.

"How is the patient?" he said excitedly.

"Fine, she is doing well. However Claus would like to keep her a while for observation."

"Release her," he said scanning over the pages again.

"But Doctor what about the side effects," she with caution in her voice.

"She volunteered for this and besides we've been doing this for months without any sign of side effects."

She stares at him, releasing a sigh, "Fine, but I must know what your next move is?"

He looks at her, his amber eyes a glow with exhilaration, "We will taint their food source as planned. Phase one will begin in Volterra immediately."

"What about them?" she grimly, she turns her head looking out a window.

"He will watch them for us," he said following her gaze.

"Are you sure he won't betray us to them?"

His eyes roam the pages again, grinning calmly over what he sees. "He wants this as much as we do if not more," as he speaks his works give him pause, "This is what we've worked so hard for all these years and finally it is here."

Genevieve draws herself close to the doctor nuzzling his nose. She flings her arms around him trying to comfort him. He whispers to her softly, "I will get back what I lost." His eyes look upon her warmly, carefully he caress her skin along her neck in between his kisses.

After a while, he pulls away holding his hand to her cheek lightly caressing it, she stares at him with affection brimming in her gaze. Her hand bracing his, she kisses it. They stare at each other for what seemed liked hours.

"Well then doctor we should get to work…."
