This is my first story and I hope that you all like it.
Prologue
The wind whipped around my face as I ran, hugging a young child to my chest. I tried to be gentle with him but I wasn't sure if I was being gentle or not –I wasn't really thinking at this time. Besides, if I was hurting him, he'd let out some yelp…though that might not even break my concentration.
I kept my attention towards the forest in front of me, not behind me. I didn't want to look back to see if they were still following me in their type of dramatic way. It didn't matter if they were still following me; it felt safer to just keep going and to not stop for a breath I didn't seem to need.
Their footsteps were hardly noticeable. If they stepped on a twig, there'd be a snap that was surprisingly not out of the ordinary. I didn't know who they were or why they were here; I did know, however, that they wore black cloaks and that they were most likely after me. The bushes and trees around me didn't move but did when the cloaks moved past. The child in my arms would smile every once in a while and I'd wonder why. Suddenly, though, I broke through. I stumbled around bushes that concealed a strangely familiar clearing. Cautiously, of course, I walked to the center of the clearing. I looked down and saw brown grass and wilting daisies. I began to get cold and I then knew exactly why. I spun around and saw the three cloaks standing where I had just come from. Getting a better view of them when they weren't chasing me, I saw that the one in the center was smaller than the other two flanking it's sides. The two flanking separated, going off in different directions that involved staying to the sides of the field. The one in the middle took a step forward and that was all it took. All in one solid movement, I tripped while taking a step back, the child fell from my arms, and the three rushed at me. The child looked up at the smaller cloak and let out a short cry. The two taller cloaks picked me up by my arms, holding me hostage so I couldn't escape. I got to see who they all were, though, while I was shocked and rooted into place. The smaller one revealed herself, letting her hood down, while the other two did the same as if she was leader.
She was leader, though.
Her red eyes burned into mine as I struggled to remember who she was. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I soon blinked in surprise. Jane picked up the child and shot the two a warning that held me. They dropped me and I fell to the ground, suddenly useless. The two were both men and, again, it took me a second to see the familiar resemblance. They were Felix and Dimitri looking as stunning as ever. They all sent me wicked smirks and I looked down at the child in Jane's arms.
"So sorry, Bella. Looks like you couldn't win this time. But, no worries, the child will be safe with us," Jane grinned then added, "We're in a hurry so we must go. It was nice chatting with you and make sure to tell Edward hello for us. We send our regards to Carlisle as well." She waved then grabbed the child's hand, making him wave as well.
"No!" I managed to gasp as they disappeared. The child's face when they all disappeared burned in my mind. His face had been sad and seemed to beg for me to save him. What was I to do? How could I save him from them? I didn't know as the dream faded and fate brought me back to reality…
