So this is my first real published story on FanFiction. Let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters; SM does. (although Summer is a character of my own imagination.)
Chapter 1: Prologue
I couldn't remember where I was or how I got there. I couldn't remember what I did or why. I just knew I had to run and to keep running. I felt the salty tears I so unwillingly shed, trickle down my face. My chest pounded, but not from the never-ending race. I was sobbing, trying so desperately to hide my tears, but from who, I don't know.
The landscape rushed past me in one huge blur. Tree branches and thorn bushes reached out with sharpened daggers to tear at my skin. Lurking shadows haunted the woods and leaked into every corner. The whole forest smelled like damp soil and decaying trees.
The morning fog had already begun to settle in the dark night leaving clinging dew on the plants. The beads of soaking water seeped trough my clothes, stinging the flesh exposed by the unforgiving briars.
I listened carefully, honing in on every sound. Still yet, I failed to determine if the silent footsteps that tracked me were those of my pursuers or those of my own imagination.
Their footsteps were too quite and swift to be natural. They were of some other breed. They had no blood, and no need for a heart, although their chests were not hollowed. A night blinded with darkness was as bright as a fully illuminated room to their piercing maroon eyes. The shadowed cloaks they wore made them appear like spirits in the night. Ghosts haunting the night, floating above the ground, and striking fear in hearts. That's what they were; Ghosts.
They weren't dead, but they weren't alive either. They feasted on human souls and used those of excellence to their advantage without care.
I didn't know much about them, but I did know they were evil and they wanted me in their control; like an object in their possession. I've commited no crime and yet, they wanted to put me in chains and control me. I had to run for my life, my safety, and my freedom.
I felt a presence approaching; another set of foot steps drawing closer and closer. I thought for sure I would have been caught. Then I couldn't remember anything. I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't see, hear, or smell anything. The forest around my suddenly dissolved into absolutely nothing. An empty, endless abyss engulfed me. Everything went black.
