Hey everyone! So this is a new one that I'm working on. This is just the prologue, so it's a good bit shorter than the other chapters will be. See you at the bottom! As always, I do not own Twilight.

I was running as fast as I could, my heart pounding in my chest. I felt pieces of my hair falling loose from the braid, but I couldn't afford to push them out of my face. I heard the footsteps behind me and I pushed myself faster. My breath was coming out in sharp gasps as I tried to get more air into my lungs. I couldn't remember ever running this hard for this long. The moon cast enough light on the ground that I didn't worry about losing my footing, but it didn't cast so much that I was worried about being seen too easily from a distance.

"Don't stop now, Bella! And don't look back."

Relief washed over me as Edward approached me from behind. I wasn't sure that he had gotten away from them after that blast. He was right behind me, his feet falling hard onto the earth beneath us. He was panting as hard as I was, and I knew that we wouldn't be able to outrun them forever. My eyes scanned trees on our right and I pointed to a looming building just barely concealed by the tree line.

Edward glanced that way before he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the trees with him. We approached the building quickly, and it was very apparent that it had been abandoned long ago. Edward went through the door first, and I was right behind him locking up the door as he boarded windows. We did a quick scan of the first floor before making our way up to higher levels. It didn't seem like anyone had been here in years, so it should be safe for us to stay here until we found a way to get past the patrols.

I followed Edward up the creaky stairs, making mental notes of which ones we needed to avoid later on. We got upstairs and found a few pieces of furniture, but mostly one large open room. We rushed to the window where we knew we wouldn't be spotted, but it would be perfect to see the patrols for now.

The patrols appeared from the tree line a moment later, armed with large swords and those damn guard dogs. My breath caught as I saw the dogs. I didn't know they had pulled the dogs out. If they got a hold on our scent, we were done for. Edward's arm rested on my shoulder at the sound, and I relaxed a little know that he was here with me. The men were slowly walking through the small clearing, getting closer to the abandoned building. We were sitting ducks here, but we couldn't have kept running from them. Edward's lips were by my ear as he whispered, "If they get much closer, we are going to have to run again. The dogs will be too close. You will go first, no objections. Do not look back and do not hesitate. I'll be behind you."

I turned quickly, looking up into his eyes. "No, Edward. I'm not going to leave you again. I didn't think you even made it out of there."

Edward pulled me in for a quick kiss and then pulled back to look me in the eye, speaking softly. "No objections, Isabella. I'm going to be fine. You run and I'll follow right behind you." He glanced out the window again and his face hardened. "Go now, Bella."

Edward and I flew down the stairs, avoiding the ones that creak badly so they had a smaller chance of hearing us. We reached the bottom floor and I ran for the back door into the night. I took one glance behind me at Edward and he motioned for me to run. I flew through the trees, saying a prayer that Edward would be safe and would meet with me again soon. I heard the bark of dogs and the yell of men, and I knew that Edward had created the distraction for me to get as far away from them as I could. I didn't look back as I ran into the night, but tears stung my eyes with the worry for the only man I loved.
