Nobody POV

He followed the girl's loud truck through the woods, knowing that a mere human would never be able to see him. But he didn't plan on the precious girl on being human much longer. No, she would be his. A vampire, immortal, his forever. He had lusted after her since the second day of that first week. Her so-called boyfriend abandoned her, the stupid vegetarian. She was always with someone- at school, work, or at her father's house. He didn't want to alert the girl's father and wind up killing him, because she wouldn't be too happy with him for that. He would lose her. Then there was the fact that the stupid mutt was her best friend, so he couldn't do it then….

But now, in the middle of nowhere, with no humans around, was the time. The engine cut off, and he sighed. Finally.

Isabella Swan stepped out of her truck and started wading through the ferns up to the porch. He followed. He stood right behind her as she turned around. She jumped at the sight of him. He smiled widely at her, showing her his teeth. She gasped.

"Hello," he said sweetly.

Bella POV

"Hello," he said. He had white-blonde hair and dirty clothes. He was a bit taller than me. His teeth were showing, and they looked sharp. His yes were red- perfect. Why, of all times, did another vampire come after me, looking to suck my blood? And this time, Edward wasn't around to save me.

Edward…

Just as I thought his name, his voice echoed in my head.

"Bella, stay perfectly still. Do not move, whatever you do." His velvet voice was strained.

"Who are you?" I asked, obeying his voice.

The vampire chuckled and shrugged. "My name is Andrew. I've been watching you for some time, Isabella. Oh, I'm sorry. Bella."

Edward's voice growled in my head. It reminded me of last spring, when James had been hunting me. My hair stood on end.

"Why is that?" I sounded braver than I felt. Good.

"Because…" Andrew walked forward slowly, exaggerating each movement. His lips neared my neck, and Edward's voice growled even louder. "I'll tell you when you wake up." And he bit me. I slumped to the ground and closed my eyes. The fire started almost immediately. When I closed my eyes, I could see Edward. His perfect face was filled with pain.

"Bella, it'll be over eventually. I promise it'll end," he whispered as I screamed, the fire taking over my body. Edward started humming my lullaby. I focused on his voice, trying to fight the fire. It didn't help much, because soon the fire was all I could feel, all I could think about. I screamed again.

The pain continued, for how long I wasn't sure. It felt like I had been burning for eternity until I could think around the fire and stopped screaming. It didn't help one bit. Edward stayed there, trying in any way to ease the pain.

Who would want to go through this?

"You did, Bella. Remember? You wanted to be one of us- to be with me forever," he whispered.

Oh, yeah. Just then, the fire spread to my throat, making my throat dry. Way too dry. I needed something to drink…

"Bella, love, when you wake up, you won't be able to hear me anymore. You have to remember us, and our way of life. The way we hunt. I promise that one day, we will come back for you. Just stay here so we can find you easier," he begged.

Here? In Forks?

"Yes, Bella. In Forks," a new voice said. It was a girl's voice, the sound of bells, my best friend's voice…

Alice.

"Yes, Bella. I'm here. It's me," she confirmed. Beneath my eyelids, I saw her materialize beside Edward, exactly as I remembered her.

"How much longer? He asked her, never taking his eyes off of me.

"Not long," she breathed. The pain faded from my hands and feet but headed to my heart. I screamed again.

"Bella, it's almost over. You just have to hold on. Please. For Edward, for me, and for the others," Alice whispered desperately. I nodded in my head.

Say hi to everyone else for me, Alice, I thought. She nodded. Were it possible, tears would probably be leaking from her eyes.

"Don't worry, Bella, I will." Her voice broke. She cleared her throat and turned to Edward. "Coming?"

"In a minute." Alice nodded and faded from Edward's side. I focused on Edward again.

"Love, I swear that we will come back. Don't forget me. Ever. I will never forget you. I love you."

I love you, too, I thought as my heart beat twice more, then fell silent. He was immediately gone.

NO! I wanted to shout. It was just like last time. He disappeared so fast…

I didn't want him to go, but I had to believe him. Although, now that I thought about it, the words he spoke in the forest ages ago contrasted greatly with the ones he had muttered seconds ago…but the words seconds ago had been those of a hallucination. But Alice had been there while I was burning, too. She hadn't been there when Edward left me. I wanted to believe them, but I didn't know if I could.

So, which to believe?

Hallucination…or reality?

That was the prologue! Sometime in the next three chapters is where things get interesting. Oh, and remember that project I mentioned? Well, if you don't- after tomorrow, I won't be able to update until the 20th at least! MAybe earlier, but that's only if i finish early. What did you guys think of me throwing Alice in there? I liked the twist. And the whole Laurent or Victoria biting her storyline is getting too old. I've read about fifty of those, so i decided to change it around a bit. See the green button? REVIEW if you love me!
