DISCLAIMER: This is merely a rewrite of the original Life and Death book for fun. It will mainly follow the original plot line, but obviously have many changes due to how different Edythe and Beau's personalities can be.

All rights go to Stephanie Meyer (and all that jazz).


Preface


Dying wasn't something I had ever given much thought. I'd always foolishly assumed that when my time came, it would be swift and painless. Tragically, I was wrong.

I felt my lip quiver in pain once again as I adjusted myself, trying to shift into a position which put the least amount of pressure on my already shattered leg. My hate-filled eyes glared at the hunter from across the room; their face showing that sickeningly wicked smile that made my stomach flip inside out.

If I had never come to Forks, I knew I would have never been facing the crushing fate that I was now, but strangely enough, I didn't regret it one bit. Sure, I was angry at the outcome – who wouldn't be? When you're offered something so inconceivable, it was far from irrational to be devastated when you knew it was coming to an end. And yet, above all this, I also felt peace.

The hunter's smile widened as they strolled forward to kill me.
