"I was browsing books on the internet and found one that looked interesting, so, I bought it! It arrived today and I think we should all read it… together." Lissa said as she sat in a circle with her friends; Rose, Christian, Adrian, Mia, Eddie, Jill and Dimitri.
"Honestly, I don't know what can be so exciting about a book, Liss."
"Sorry Lissa, but I have to agree with Rose. Why have you gathered us here just to read a book?" Adrian asked.
"It's not just a book. It's a book about vampires."
"And, we should be excited about this because…" Rose sighed.
"Because, it's well-written and I think it'll be interesting to find out how humans portray vampires," Lissa argued.
Rose yawned and grabbed the book from her friend, "Let's see it."
The book was black with a picture of someone holding an apple. Above the hands 'twilight' was written.
"Twilight," Rose thought aloud, "Just looking at the title and the picture, I would never have known this was about vampires." Rose turned it over and began reading the blurb.
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him – and I didn't know how dominant that part might be – that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
"Jeez. Who says irrevocably now-days?" Christian asked, with a smirk.
"Christian's right. Is this all old-fashioned, Liss?"
"Whoa! Did I hear that right? Did Rose just agree with Christian?" Dimitri chuckled.
"No, Rose. This is set in the twenty-first century, and I'd appreciate it if you'd finish the blurb so we can get reading."
"Whatever, I'm so outta here," Rose stood up and marched towards the door to find that it was locked from the outside, "Damn it, Lissa!"
Lissa smiled and beckoned Rose to sit down beside her, "It's not that bad. Actually, I think you might like it."
"Okay. Are we finished bickering? Because I'd actually like to read this," Mia said, taking the book from Rose.
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
What Bella doesn't realize is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And it might be too late to turn back…
"Dun, Dun, Dun," Eddie laughed.
"Don't diss the book!" Jill snapped. After realizing what she had just said, and to whom, Jill's cheeks turned a deep red, "Sorry…"
"Don't be sorry Jill. You're right!" Mia agreed, glaring at Eddie.
"Whatever," Eddie shrugged, "Who'd like to read first?"
"I will," Jill volunteered. Eddie handed her the book and she opened it to the preface.
PREFACE
I'd never given much thought to how I would die – though I'd had reason enough in the last few months – but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
"That sounds cheerful," Adrian smiled, "Keep reading Jill."
I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.
"Let me guess, the hunter is a vampire?" Rose asked.
Mia, Jill and Lissa shushed her and she shrugged, "I'm just asking."
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks,
"Forks? Isn't that in Washington?" Dimitri asked.
"Um, yeah. I think so," Jill answered.
I wouldn't be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision. When Life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
"How can she be so calm about her own death?" Jill wondered aloud.
Everyone else shrugged and Jill turned back to the book.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
Jill shuddered, "And that ends the Preface."
"And, man, doesn't it end on a lovely note," Eddie joked.
"Shut up," Mia scolded, smacking him lightly on the shoulder.
"Keep it G-rated," Christian said with a huge grin. Mia and Eddie both blushed and moved away from each other.
"We're not…" Eddie and Mia began in unison. That just made Christian laugh more.
"Here Christian," Jill said, passing the book to him, "How about you read the first chapter."
Christian stopped laughing as he flicked through the pages, "It's quite long…"
"Too many words for you Christian?" Rose asked, with a smirk.
"No," Christian huffed and opened the book to the first chapter.
