Chapter 1
Prompt: Coin
Rating: T
Subject: Bella POV, running through the fountain in Volterra
The frigid temperature shocks me momentarily, yet provides me the most direct route to him. Were his life not in danger, were my heart not pounding at forte in my chest, were I merely a tourist in this ancient, stone city, I would drop a coin into the glacial waters, a wish for my beloved.
Yet I slosh through the fountain, the only partition in a sea of crimson, knowing I must reach him in time, praying my efforts are not in vain, knowing I am his only hope.
The midday sun blazes overhead, spurring me toward the clock tower.
Author's Note:
I am so inspired by the amazingly talented fanfiction writers. This is my first attempt into Twilight fanfic, a little something to ease me into longer works. I will post a series of 10 drabbles (100 words) in the month of October 2009. I would appreciate your feedback, positive or negative, as your encouragement will help build my confidence as a writer.
Also, thank you, Subtlynice – whose own drabbles for the Twilight100 inspired me to create my own prompts and get busy writing.
