The

Dawn

Series

By: 3-left-turns

Summary: I always knew i would be the first to go. The first of the two of us to die. It doesn't matter that she was born first and I was born second. She will always win and I will always have to sacrifice. She will be the happy ending and I will be the tragedy. I have always known that i would die first. I have always known.

Note: This story and the characters I create (specifically Francesca Swan) are mine and not anyone else's. All recognizable characters from the Twilight series are of course Stephanie Meyer's. The Dawn series is just an idea that i have had in my head for quite a bit of time. Bella, as much as i love the character, has always seem to be the extremely selfish type(as well as being a strong person and a fighter) despite being portrayed as the sacrificial lamb. In the end, she chooses what she wants for herself and not what is actually the best for her and those around her. And as much i like the ending she does end up dead because of her choices. So in conclusion, i thought about creating a character who is essentially the opposite. One who is portrayed as fighter and strong person but in reality is actually a little girl who continuously sacrifices her own happiness for others. This was how Frankie came to be in my mind. Now despite this fundamental difference, and a few not so fundamental, between the two characters, they are also similar in the fact that they love deeply quickly. Hopefully you like what you read or at least give it a chance.

Extra Note: i need a beta for this story. Anyone willing please message me before you try to email me.

Extra Extra Note: This prologue became real while listening to Seven Devils by Florence+the Machine. So i suggest listening to the song while reading the prologue. No specific part of the song either, the entire song works for the prologue.

Book One

Aurora

Prologue

I always knew I would be the first to go.

The first of the two us to die.

Forget the bullshit stories about twins leaving this earth together, no matter how close or far apart they were. It's a pack of lies to make sets of twins feel better about themselves and their unique freakiness.

It doesn't matter that me and Bell are, and have always been, the ideal set of twins. It doesn't matter that me and Bell created our own silent language that only we could ever understand. It doesn't matter that me and Bell have always been able to instinctively know what the other has needed. It doesn't matter that even after years apart I can still sense Bell's presence in the back of my head. It doesn't even matter that she was born first and I was second.

I will still be the first to leave this world.

The reason for this being so is simple enough.

She will always win and I will always have to sacrifice.

In this specific case, I must sacrifice myself to save the precious, and pathetically happy, life of my selfish sister. She will be the happy ending and I will be the tragedy.

Pathetically sad, considering that I was the first to know and touch this world of supernatural means. Pathetic, considering that I was nether naive nor delusional upon meeting and accepting these creatures of darkness and light. Pathetic, considering that I was the one who was supposed to have the happily-ever-after with these monsters, who had become my family.

But then she had come, and changed everything.

Took everything.

She fought, and kept fighting, until she won, and had all of the victor's spoils: my life, my family, and my happy ending.

I'll give her this: She didn't know she was fighting me, and if she had, maybe things would be different. But in the end, she didn't.

So, I hate her, and what I will have to do for her.

But then again, I had always known that i would be the first to die.

I am Francesca "Frankie" Swan.

And...

I had always known.

Final Note: Thanks for reading. As mentioned before I need a beta please message me. I hope you liked it and I hope you'll review, and be kind. This is my first published story, and well, constructive criticism is always the best. I will be updating soon. Otherwise, thanks.
