(Prologue)

Walking from the school building to her truck, Bella didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She was deep in thought, and nothing could break that reprieve. Her thoughts drifted to biology, and she wondered what she had done to deserve Edwards hate. Did he think she was ugly? Did she smell bad? She didn't know, and didn't particularly want to know. She sighed, and started her truck.

Pulling onto the main road, she didn't notice when a shiny, silver Volvo pulled behind her or when the rain started. She was too involved thinking about her new home and what to fix her father for supper. Parking her truck in the driveway, she pulled up her hood when she noticed just how heavy the downpour was. Making a run for the front door, she didn't notice the man staring at her from the trees. She shrugged off her coat when she flung open the front door, and tossed it on the floor next to her sopping shoes. She went into the kitchen to start supper, singing all the while.

Falling to the ground, nothings there

Take a look around, its only for,

Too late, too far away

And I know your lost,

Too late, too far away

And I know your lost

Grabbing for air, time stands still

Try and still compare, with death again

Too late, too far away

And I know your lost

Too late, too far away

And I know your lost, lost

As the sound of her voice faded from the air, she felt someone in the room with her. Before she could even speak, she felt a sharp pain in her neck. And then nothing. She turned around, her hand clasped to her neck to stop the 

bleeding she knew was happening, she saw Edward, being held back by someone. She couldn't tell who it was, but they must have been strong, for she could see Edward was snarling and struggling to break free.

A fire started in the veins where he had bitten her, then a blessed blackness took over her world.
