Full description: "In the beginning, there was only the Goddess. She was Light and Darkness, Beauty and Ugliness, Serenity and Anxiety, Peace and War incarnate. But, at one point, She left the Darkness, disappearing into nothingness but leaving an orb of power behind - one that paved the way for humanity to one day enter the World."
In the small town of Forks, Washington, any newcomers are immediately seen as different from everyone else - as is the curse of small towns.
However, when a mysterious, beautiful stranger moves into town without warning, everyone cannot help but wonder what is wrong with her - the girl with eyes the color of fire.
Everyone finds themselves entranced by the stranger, and that includes the Cullens - the resident odd family that most were wary of and some mistreated.
And when the truth of the girl is unveiled, the world will never be the same again.

I know that I have Swan to write still, but I just had to write this; it's been stuck in my head since I came up with it, making it almost impossible to write Swan. So I apologize.

But I'll try to balance Swan and Persephone equally - to the best of my abilities - I promise.

So let's get this party started!

Prologue:
Bella

"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not unreasonable to grieve when it comes to an end."
~Stephenie Meyer, Twilight — Preface

Rage was not something I was unaccustomed to feeling.

I stared across the room into the dark eyes of the hunter without breathing, my eyes flashing vibrant crimson as my body involuntarily trembles with the force of my rage. The hunter stared back at me with a vaguely pleasant expression on his face, and my lips curled back from my teeth in a snarl; wispy tendrils of power rose to the surface, creating a breeze that blows my curls of oak brown hair out around me, and they threaten to lash out at him, despite my efforts to reign them in.

I was once so full of rage I murdered my Brethren all in one night; so full of rage, lost in my need for vengeance, I earned the name Ares, god of war, on the battlefield; so full of rage I brought Death to an entire species of creature - on several different occasions. Rage was nothing new to me.

But this level of rage, the sheer need I felt to rip the hunter limb from limb and drink every last drop of venom in his sorry body, torture him until he screams and begs for mercy only to refuse it, this was unfamiliar to me.

But I'd never had a family before; my Brethren had been all too ready to betray me - and in return, I slaughtered them all and sated my thirst from the ichor flowing through their veins - and after them, I was left alone with no one to live by my side. I had tried to create companions from the ashes, but thrice, I failed - and in the end, I threw it all away and returned to the Heavens to live out my lonely existence by myself; I only returned to the Mortal's Land in order to satiate the thirst I was cursed with in response to my so-called betrayal.

The loyalty to which one possess for their family is indescribable. It was wholly unfamiliar to me, the depth and intensity of the feeling welling within my soul, but the rage burns within me like a flickering flame within my chest - that was familiar. And more of my power surged to the surface.

The hunter smiled as he sauntered forward to try to kill me, and I stalked to meet him, my muscles coiled like tense springs beneath me and my power ready to explode from beneath my skin and tear him apart.

He would feel the rage of the Queen of Vampires for his insolence.

Finished!

Bella is played by actress Christie Burke, and instead of her characteristic brown eyes, her eyes are amber-gold - darker than the Cullens' but with the same unnatural gleam. She has the characteristic curls of brown hair and pale skin, with the unnatural beauty that she had when she was a vampire - except multiplied by a lot.

But, anyway, what did you guys think? Hope you enjoyed, and I hope you read the chapters soon to come!

Bye!
