Prologue:

She had been running as fast as her legs would take her for almost ten minutes now, and didn't think she could keep it up much longer. He had come out of nowhere, and started talking to her about abilities, or powers, or something like that. He was so terrifying, that she didn't wait for him to finish his speech, and started running then and there. Now she was in the middle of the woods, and it was pitch black outside. The only sound she heard was herself, but she knew he was right behind her.

"Help!! Please somebody help!!!" She called out as loud as she could.

From somewhere in the dark, her pursuer answered her. "There's no one around to help you" his voice purred menacingly. "You might as well make it easier for yourself, and give up. If you do, I promise, it won't hurt."

"Help!!!" she called out again, almost to tears by this point.

"Smart girl" the voice said. "You want to know the truth?" he asked as she tripped over a very large rock that suddenly appeared right in front of her feet.

She winced in anticipation, waiting for her body to hit the ground, but instead, a seemingly invisible hand grabbed her throat, and stopped her in mid air. As her breath began to slip away, she could feel herself being lifted up, and the hand around her neck slammed her into a tree. As she hit the tree, she heard a sickening crunch, and no longer felt anything below her waist.

"Aggggghhhhh!!" she screamed out as she felt the pain reach her upper body.

"Well?" the voice asked. "I asked you if you wanted to know the truth."

"Why are you doing this to me?!" She cried out, blood spurting from her mouth with each word.

"Because. You have something that I want, and I'm taking it. " He paused, then almost as an afterthought, he added, "But more than anything else… I love listening to my victims scream."

Out of the darkness, she saw his smiling face emerge halfway out of the darkness.

"Who. Are. You?" She whispered with the last breath she had left, as she saw his hand emerge from the shadows, and point strait at her forehead.

"I'm your worst nightmare."

The last thing she ever felt, was excruciating pain.

As he wiped her blood off of his hands, he glanced at his watch.

"Hmm" he thought, silently adding some numbers in his head. "In two minutes, I'll have officially gone one week and five days without sleep. As busy as I am, I think I'll take the day off"

He started walking through the forest, trying to decide where to relax, and get some sleep. He had just narrowed it down to Seattle, or Portland (the two most populous cities closest to his current location) so he could be near someone with power when he was well rested, when he exited the woods, along the side of a road.

In the fresh twilight (get it?) of the morning, he saw a simple sign, advertising the city limits of the nearby town.

He smiled as he read the sign, deciding to spend his brief "vacation" here.

"Look out Forks," he said as he started walking toward the city. "Sylar's coming to town!"


DP: This is my first fanfic, so please be kind if reviewing, although constructive criticism will be helpful. I know some of you might have noticed that i left out the girls ability, during the first part of this. That was intentional... You'll find out what it is during the course of the story, when it becomes very useful to Sylar, while hunting the Cullens. Anyways, I don't own either Twilight, or Heroes, please don't sue!

Note: Apparently twilight occurs at the end of the day, not the beginning. I didn't realize that when i wrote the story, but I don't want to get rid of the joke, so please ignore it.
