Alaskan Hill

Prologue

Deep within Alaska, unseemly hidden within the mountains their lies a small town which is cut off from technology, other people, and sometimes it seems the world. This town isn't normal by any stretch of the imagination. The town is designed to look like something you would expect to see in the 16 century. There is a grand old castle situated at the top of a small snow covered hill and bellow it is at least seven small cottages that house families of about three kids to each couple but that's only one side of the lake.

The other side of the lake is hidden in shadow almost as if the sun fears to tread upon this area in fear of being tainted. The atmosphere in this part of the town is filled with the smell of death; it lingers upon the neglected houses and the worn streets.

The reasons why this town is so different from others is because firstly the huge lake in the middle of it that separates the two parts of the town isn't filled up with water it is filled up with blood. Thick red tainted blood that contaminates all who come into contact with it. The other thing that sets this town apart from others is that half the people who live in this town feed upon blood to live. Those in the town who need to feed upon blood have come into contact with the water and had there DNA altered so that they are now a supreme sort of being they are faster, stronger more attractive as well as reliant upon blood to keep them alive. They are constantly hungry and there food supply is slowly running out but lucky for

them their prey has found away out of this god forsaken mountain.

Chapter One

Bella said inside her house watching as the sun travelled across her dining room table and couldn't help but wonder how many days left she had to live. Everyone around her was slowly dying being picked off one by one. First it was the people at the edge of town next it was the bakery owner after them it was the man with the spotted pig. Who's next? I wonder she thought to herself as she slowly went around her house locking the door making sure the windows were bared up and seeing what was left inside her cupboards for dinner. It has been said, no whispered among the villages that there way a way off this mountain. It has also been suggested that there are other people out there besides us who aren't contaminated and who can actually help us.

Bella shook her head trying to shake away the nonsense she had let take up home in her head. "No use getting your hopes up just to see them crushed again" she muttered while chopping carrots and potatoes up for the soup she was re-heating. Uncontaminated meat was so hard to come by these days that you couldn't waste any of it. A soft knock echoed threw the house and Bella walked towards the door with a knife in her hand just in case the person knocking weren't as timid as their knock. Swiftly Bella pulled the door open and positioned the knife to stab the visitor in the heart if they appeared hostile but it was only Jasper Hale the person who was the cause of all the speculation about the chance of escape.

"So you have heard the news" he asked in his husky voice, his ice blue eyes piercing me with his gaze leaving Bella hypnotised.

Bella slowly tore her eyes away from his "Ummm yeah l have heard about this mysterious way out that you seemed to have found everyone has but why are you bring it up" she asked.

"Because Bella it is true I've found a away out and l want you to come with me. I know you will never be over Edward and l will never truly be over Alice but l think if we try we can find happiness" he said with conviction in his voice.

Bella bit her lip and thought about her choices I guess l could stay here and wait for death to take me, or l could walk into the lake and join Edward or l could go with Jasper and try to find happiness which one do l choose? Bella continued biting her lip while avoiding looking at Jasper.

"Please Bella l need you. Without you l don't want to even consider making the trip" the desperation was clearly evident in his voice

Bella slowly raised her eyes to stare into Jasper's ice blue eyes and looked deep within them searching his soul for answers. Bella slowly opened her mouth and then closed it then opened it again "Jasper" she said at last.

"Yes" he said slowly.

"I'll go with you" Bella said slowly and as each of the words left her mouth she knew she was making the right choice. Edward had in a sense left her; he had been one of the first to enter the water and had in a way left her willingly.

"Are you sure" Jasper asked in disbelief

"Yes l am" Bella stated with a smile

"Then there is no time to lose I'm pretty sure that the creatures on the other side of the river have hear the rumours of the way out we must act quickly if we wish to have a shot of making it out alive. You need to gather all of your belongings that you need and leave the rest l know it's a big deal but it's the only way we will make it out of here." Jasper said while grabbing a bag and stuffing it full of Bella's remaining food. He then threw another bag at her and told her to go pack her clothes Bella rushed up the stairs and gather all her belongings and limited to taking only the most needed of her belongings like her mothers diamond ring and her pearl earrings her hand lingered upon the necklace Edward had given her for her Eighteenth birthday. Slowly she removed her hand from the necklace left it in the jewellery box new beginnings meant leaving old things behind.
