EDIT NOTE: THIS IS JUST THE PREFACE. I'D APPRICIATE IT IF YOU WOULD READ IT BUT IF YOU WANT TO SO BADLY, SKIP TO CHAPTER ONE.

AUTHORS NOTE: Just a little tip, this story is written with a few different 'point's of views' and the correct point of view (POV) will be posted at the top of the chapter under the title. Those of you Twilight fans should know what I'm talking about! XD Most of them are in Amber's POV but there will be some chapters from others POV. Also to warn you, the first four or five chapters are all human, but there are vampires later in the story. I'm a little nervous posting this but I hope you all enjoy the story. I love reviews, don't be shy!

Much love,

RiP.

SUMMERY: Amber Mason's humanity was stolen from her by a vampire but saved by a mysterious creature. Now she has to return to her highschool while pretending to still be human but she also has the difficult task of surviving as a vampire. And ontop of all that mess, the vampire who changed her is out for revenge on her new vampire family but her unrequited crush (whom her vampire family does not approve of), Bentley Rivera is in a whole different type of danger. She has to chose: Family or Bentley?

DISCLAIMER: I, musicormisery4105 (or RiP), do not own the music selections used in this and the following chapters nor do I own the ideas for the vampires. Those ideas go to the credit of Stephenie Meyer, Joss Whedon and the countless research I've done using all sorts of websites. All movie and book references belong to the appropriate owners and I am in way associated with them. I do however own my characters, the Harper Mansion and the small town of Shiloh :) As well as the poem at the bottom.

PREFACE

AMBER POV

First off I'd like to share two things.

One, sometimes life can change in a complete instant.

Two, everything that happens, happens for a reason. You may not see it this second, or even an hour from now. But if it's meant to happen, it will happen. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I never have given much thought to either of those sayings before but if I would have known what was to come in the future, maybe I would have. In just a few short hours my life would literally fall apart and then get pieced back together. But only, this time, my picture perfect life was put back together upside down. Things would never, and I literally mean never, be the same. Nothing could change what happened that fateful day. I think even if I had a time machine and was able to go back in time, I still wouldn't be able to change the events that led up to breaking point, the climax, the moment my life changed. Maybe if we would have never gone out into the woods that night everything would still be normal and I wouldn't be sentenced to a life of immorality as a bloodsucking monster.

But then again if we never would have gone out there into the woods that night we would not be where we are now in life. So many things might have never happened. Things that I could never and would never, ask to loose.

Now besides the obvious drawbacks of being what I am, I am happy. I have found the love of my pure existence and I have a large loving family who each has one of their own to love unconditionally. I guess I will have my happily-ever-after, after all. To me I don't view our choice as a mistake, I think of it as fate. Fate is what brought my mate and I together and aloud us to be together for eternity. Of course we paid a great price for that eternity but if I could go back and change anything—well I wouldn't.

My name is Amber Dawn Mason—and this is my story.

Mysterious boy

Are you finished pretending?

Rambunctious girl

Is the time finally right?

These shadows are fading

Cloudy skies are becoming clear

As are my feelings, my dear.

The lives we live are too short

O, how people find out quickly

Too many of them don't notice

Until it's too late

Eventually, their time runs out

So long and goodbye, my love.

Daybreak brings upon a new day

A day I will never let pass by

Murmuring those three words

Those words, you love to hear them

Darkness falls

It's now or never
