Prologue
Run
I was running. Trees flew past me at blinding speeds. I was running faster than my bike, faster than a car, possibly faster than I'd ever run before. But it wasn't fast enough. Not enough to drive away the piercing pain. Not enough to fill the large, gaping hole left in my chest where my heart had been. I understood now why she would sometimes cross her arms over herself. At the time, I thought it was simply because she was in so much distress that she felt physical pain. But now I know, it was so much more than that. Now I know she was trying desperately to keep the shattered pieces of her heart together, to keep herself from completely shattering altogether. I know how she felt because now I feel it too. It's overwhelming. It's like being stabbed repeatedly and then thrown into an active Volcano to slowly burn alive.
I needed to forget it.
I needed to get away from the pain.
To escape it.
So I ran. Faster each minute, pushing myself to the limit and beyond. I needed the physical pain, to keep my mind off the intense emotional pain radiating throughout my body. I needed to completely give in to the wolf.
And so I ran.
I wasn't aware of where I was going, or how long I'd been running, or when I planned on stopping, but that didn't matter. As long as I was doing something.
And so I ran. And ran and ran and ran.
Until my body couldn't take it anymore, and I collapsed from sheer physical exhaustion. But still, my last thought as I slipped into blessed unconsciousness, was of her.
Bella.
