I know it's been a long time, and personally I blame my self and the school, what with homework, lack of sleep, and some bad grades. but it wasn't anything serious, I managed to get this out surprisingly in the short time i have to write, but I think I'm going to take it slow so don't expect any long chapters just yet.

XXXXX

Run. Run. Keep running, don't look back. Their catching up. Their catching up.

My lungs burn. Don't worry about it just keep running

I face planted harshly into the ground as my clumsiness made it's self known, even with all my training I still have yet to master not tripping over my own two feet.

Why are they chasing me?

Had I broken some kind of law? Did I accidentally cross onto their territory? No, that can't be the reason, I made sure I wasn't even in range to be scented. Was this some kind of game to them, cat and mouse? If so I'll show them why you never pick a fight with Bella Swan.

I brushed off dead leaves once I was back on my feet, I may fall a lot but I always get back up. Sadly, I can't say the same for these idiots. Gripping the handle of my sword I allowed for my chasers to catch up to me.

Closer. Closer. They're coming closer.

TO CLOSE!

Suddenly I'm thrown onto my back, and my head is smashed onto a unfortunate rock. I can already fill the blood starting to seep from my head, as I gasped for air.

"So you finally decided to fight back." a hush whisper against my ear.

My brown eyes locked with my offender's crimson red. Her face is young, much to young for the pain she's causing by clenching my throat. Pale skin reflected off from the moonlight and was whiter than my own. Blond hair blinded my view and contrasted perfectly with my wavy dark brown.

"I didn't know we were fighting." I sneered out the best I could with my burning lungs.

She chuckled and I whispered under my breath,

"Blood sucker."

She gave me a frown, "That's not very nice, we've only just met." my heart froze as I watched her frown turn into a bittersweet smile. "Maybe I should show you how to properly greet someone filth!"

I'm thrown across the clearing like a rag doll. The strength she put into the throw was enough that I managed to put a large splinter into the tree.

Danger. Danger.

Warning lights went off in my head, with hast I pulled my sword from it's sheath and scrambled to my feet. At least now it didn't seem like I was getting kicked around.

The world around me changed suddenly. Everything became more clear, more sharp- and crisp. Colors were radiant like the sun, and even though my opponent was a blood sucker I manged to keep up with her super-speed. Matching it with that of my own.

Dodge right, dodge left, duck under, spin, jump over. Back-flip.

As we fought I was like a dance, of course though it was one with no leader. Everything she did, I countered and added my own attack as a small bonus present.

Exhaustion soon set in and this was turning for the worse. For me at least. If I could just get one hit in, one slash, one cut on her smooth soft skin everything would be fine. But I hadn't so it wasn't. Suddenly it was like god had answered my prayer.

Opening. Take it.

I did. Jumping high over the blood sucker's head and landing softly behind her, she spun and that's when I swung.

I was surprised when black blood splattered, and landed on me. Now don't get me wrong I've had blood splatter on me before, more than I would like actually, but never have I seen vampire blood. It was dark like onyx and smelled rotten and tasted of poison.

Just like this girl's heart.

Despite what others say I believe vampires to have souls, though their hearts are dead their souls are not. I believe in order to be soulless you must be fully dead. No coming back, just...dead.

The damage wasn't much, but it was enough to stall her for an escape. I ran. I ran until I finally reached the outskirts of the Kingdom of Polaris, and collapsed a hill away from the gates.

Pain. So much pain. Endless pain.

That's all I felt, it's all I could feel, I could taste the sweet metallic flavor of blood in my mouth, and could help but wonder if this was how I was to die. Sir Knight Bella Swan, death by blood lose, and chocking on it.

A voice. You hear a voice.

"Don't die, please don't die."
