The wet ground beneath my feet, the icy air blowing in the storm but none of this mattered none of this could be helped and I knew I had to keep on running. I knew a minute breather would be the end and this gave me the power to run. The adrenaline pumped through my body forcing me to go faster and enhancing my senses. I knew the man following me would soon catch me but i couldn't do anything about it running was my last hope in freedom. I was quickly tiring and so I had to rest and then it happened I tripped and knew that it would all be over in a matter of minutes.

I tried to scramble up but my ankle collapsed again and again and i screamed in protest and pain. I knew that as soon as I screamed I was done for a goner and so I sat and waited for fate to come and collect it's prize.

The man slowed and I started to shake with the fear of the fact he was here to end my life before it had a chance to begin and the thoughts of never raising a family, never graduating from getting married or even driving a car ran through my head. All I could do was welcome death and hope to go to a better place.

The man walked with cat like grace to where I sat in a pile of wet leaves and ferns. He knelt down next to me and started to whisper in my ear what he was going to do and how he was going to kill me and why. I was suddenly afraid and the he spoke again and told me his secret and it made it worse. He was a vampire and the only thing that would save me now was if he felt merciful and changed me or if we just happened to stumble across a coven of good vampires and that's when he laughed.

His voice was like velvet but ice cold. His hands were as cold as ice and as hard as a rock. then I screamed out in pain and one of his hands clamped down on my mouth to muffle the sound. He went as still as a rock and a noise I didn't recognize came out from his chest a growl of sorts and I hoped it was someone coming to rescue me.

I was out in the forest hunting when I saw her the poor girl was running and I decided it didn't really concern me as to why she was, so I left the area and went hunting a little way away.

That was when I heard it that blood curtailing scream and it triggered the instinct to go and investigate. I stayed far enough away so that the other vampire couldn't see me but close enough so that I could see what was happening and intercede when I needed too.

He was kneeling over this girl and she was shaking in fear, why she thought she could run I didn't know. He was going to kill her but not feed. He was whispering something in her ear and that made her shake harder and whimper. I knew the time had come to stop this before it got out of hand. So I walked at human pace and the girl started to scream. I realised she was screaming from the sadistic vampire crushing her bones he seemed to hate the noise so he clamped his hand over her mouth.

A bit of wind came from behind me and the man must of smelt my scent for he growled a low deep growl and turned from the girl to face my direction. at once I knew what he was. he was a tracker and I knew that the on;y way to save the girl was to kill him.

So the fight began. Even though he had strength I had speed every time he went to strike I got the advantage and started to rip chunks off of him. the fight ended quickly and i started the fire. after all that was left of him was ashes I went to where the girl lay and knelt over her. I knew I had to get her home to Carlisle who would be able to treat her and I also knew who she was.

The girl started to shake again but I whispered in her ear that I had saved her and that I was taking her home.

This girl was facinating to me she was the one person whose mind I couldn't read no matter how hard I tried but her blood had the most delicious smell and it was hard not to sink my teeth in to her warm soft flesh and drink form her but I fought the monster inside of me and I looked in to her big beautiful brown eyes and was mesmerized I knew from that point I had fallen for this girl and it gave me the stregth I needed to save her life. That's when I remembered her name it was Isabella Swan daughter of Charlie Swan chief of police in the town of Forks washington, once I got her back to Carlisle I would go to the Swan residence and check on him.
