this is my new fanfic, Lurking in the shadows. This chapter is pretty much a preface. It tells you what happened before the actually story begins. This takes place in New Moon, in late March. Bella never jumped off the cliff.

I was perfectly fine just hanging out with Jacob, and Charlie was glad that we are friends, but he said I needed to go out with my other friends more ofter. So, that's what I'm doing, out shopping with Angela. She is my only friend that really kept by my side after Edward left. Well, Mike did too, but it's not like I'm gonna hang out with him. He'd think that we were dating.
Angela had parked the car a couple blocks down, outside of the first store. We just kept going from store to store. We were gonna go back to the car after we were done shopping. I had just gone a couple blocks down from the last shop with Angela when I realised I had forgotten my coat in the store. It was only a couple blocks back, I could go back and get it while Angela went, and got the car.
"Hey, Ang, I left my jacket back in the store. I'm gonna go get it." I said.
"Okay. Do you want me to go ahead and get the car?" She asked. I nodded.
I turned, and started back up the way we came. It was around seven thirty, and it was starting to get dark. The streetlights had just flickered on. Few people were still out. Most were probably inside somewhere eating. Once I was just two blocks from the store, I got a feeling. Something didn't feel right, like I shouldn't be there. I knew I should have turned around, and told Angela something was up. I knew I should have done something, anything except to keep going. But, I didn't. I just kept walking, telling myself I was being silly.
There was an alley up ahead that led to the dumpsters behind the stores. When I was just a couple feet away from it, I saw something move in the shadows. I froze, staring at the spot. Nothing moved. Maybe, I told myself, your just being silly. I decided it was just that, but I was still afraid. Something was up.
Bella, get away from there. His voice suddenly said in my head. I froze, just on the edge of the alley. I knew that this was bad. My feeling was right. If something wasn't wrong, I wouldn't be hearing his voice. I was getting ready to run, and was half turned around, when two hands shot out from behind me, and grabbed me. One went around my waist, the other over my mouth so I couldn't scream.
Fight against him, Bella! Fight! His voice shouted in my head.
I fought against the man, struggling, and kicking as he pulled me back into the alley. It did no good. The man was too strong. His hold over my mouth was too tight. I couldn't get more than a muffled sound out. And if I did, I started getting light headed from the lack of air. I couldn't win. I couldn't get away.
Don't give up! Keep fighting! The voice said, but ignored it. Fighting was no use. I wasn't getting away.
The man threw me down in a space between two dumpsters. My head smacked against the wall behind me. After a moment, I could feel the slight trickle of blood down my neck. It wasn't a bad wound, but I knew the wounds would only get worse. They would probably lead to my death, here in the alley.
I didn't fight, or yell once I was out of his arms. I knew it would do no good. He would probably kill me if I tried. And besides, I was too scared to even move now. The crouched down, and reached out, taking my face in one of his hands.
"What a pretty face." He said, turning it this way, and that way. " Such a shame it'll be gone once I'm through with you. I can't have you ratting me out." What he said only confirmed my fears: I was going to die here.
Then, slowly, he undressed me. I could tell he was enjoying every moment of it. My body was shaking under his touch, and he seemed to get nothing but pleasure from that. Once he finished undressing me, he did what he brought me here to do.
He raped me.
--
My whole body ached. I was scared to death. I had just been raped my this giant guy whose face i couldn't even make out in the dark. I knew I wasn't going to make it out of this.
Then, he started beating me. He kicked he in my stomach, my ribs, my back. I curled up into a ball, trying to protect myself. It didn't work very well though. All I did was manage to protect my head from any injury. I knew he was enjoying this. He loved it when I would wince in pain, and when I started to cry softly. He laughed at me, at how weak I was. I was bleeding in several places now. A lot of my blood was being lost. I knew that several of my bones had been broken from his powerful kicks. It hurt so bad. I wished that he would just hurry up, and kill me so I didn't have to go through this torture anymore.
He reached inside the jacket he had on, and pulled out a small switch blade. when he flipped it open, I saw that the blade was long and sharp. It was bigger than I could kill with one stab if put in the right place.
Suddenly, the light next to the back door of the building across from us flicked on. My attacker glanced at it, then turned back to me. He raised the hand with the blade high in the air, and brought it down, shoving it into my chest, just missing my heart. A fatal injury. Then, he ran.
Blood started seeping out around the knife. Things started getting dizzy. I had lost too much blood. I was going to die. There was no way I could survive this. Not with my luck.
I heard the door to the building open. Things were spinning. Footsteps coming my way. Everything got fuzzy. I heard a girl scream as thing went black.
Hang on Bella! Don't let go! Hang on! Just hang on! Was the last thing I heard before i was completely lost in the blackness, all my pain fading away with reality.
