Prologue

It all happened so fast. The fist connecting to the side of my face, the trees of the forest surrounding our home coming closer and closer to my flying form. Then darkness, nothing else. I thought I would float around the darkness forever. Never finding my way out. I wanted nothing more than to be free of the freezing cold blackness. To be curled up in my mothers' ice cold embrace. Then the fire like pain began to surge through my veins making me wish for the numbing blackness. I was vaguely aware of my mothers' voice hovering next to my ears. That was how bad the pain was. But it wasn't really all over it was flying through attacking certain parts of my body. My left leg, right in the back of my head and along the right side of my ribs. It triggered a familiar memory my mother had told me when I asked her how she had become the gorgeous vampire she was today. But that couldn't be it I was already a half and half (as my dad liked to call me).

I could hear my father's chuckle from my recent thoughts of my least favorite nickname come to a halt. He was then quiet and I could practically feel my mother's curious gaze stare upon his beautiful features. She must have dropped her shield to ask him a silent question because he had said something about it being odd. But why didn't she just ask out loud. That's when I realized the scents here were different. Not like home and I could hear more than one persons breathing but no heartbeats close by. I could hear one downstairs, outside I was guessing. Suddenly I wanted nothing more than to go check out whom the heart beat belonged to. I felt this tugging at my gut, pulling me in the direction. Again I heard my father grunt disapprovingly.

"How much longer Alice?" a soft creamy female voice asked this woman i had never heard of or seen before. I had never heard it before. "Two minutes and five seconds exactly Esme. But Carlisle, Jake is getting really impatient I don't think its right to make him wait any longer."

A deeper, rougher voice answered. Nothing like a vampire's sweet melodical voice. And the heartbeat came closer. The calming, tugging feeling in my gut intensified but clamed as well. "She'll want to see me to you know she can probably already feel the pull."

"Fine Jake but be careful the dad doesn't look to happy." Another deep voice said but this one did have the smooth sound of vampire. My father murmured his agreement to the statement. I couldn't keep my eyes closed anymore, I had to know who the deep calming voice belonged to. As my eyelids fluttered opened I felt my left hand be squeezed by two colder bigger ones. My right actually felt warmer. As my eyes adjusted to the light sparkling of my parents skin like diamonds I saw the eyes from every dream I had had since I was born look back at me.

"You must be Reneesme it's nice to meet you." His smile was blinding as he held on to my hand like it was a life preserve. My heart thumped wildly in my chest and I winced at the slight pain it caused my ribs. Ive never really been in pain before it was a new feeling I didnt particularly like it. And I could only faintly feel the burning.

"Your better than morphine I hardly feel a thing." His grin stretched even wider. And I found myself mirroring his stupid grin. While trying to memorize the features from this boy whose been in my dreams since i was born.(being a half and half i remember only being alive for five years)
