1Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. I'm not sure if this storyline has been used before but I like to maintain that all ideas are mine. Reviews are nice :) I will update when I can, please be nice, it's my second fanfic :) I'm trying to keep it as close to Twilight as possible however I plan to change parts of it to match my storyline.

Preface.

I'd never given much thought to how I would die - though I'd had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.

I stared across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, as I once again became the hunted, and he stared pleasantly back at me.

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something in the afterlife.

Self-sacrifice had never been a strong trait in my kind, even now the need to survive was pulsing through my veins but I could not bring myself to regret the decisions that had brought me to this moment. When something you've always dreamed of crosses your path and reaches far beyond your wildest dreams it is not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me. This was the fight I was destined to lose.

*****

I know it's short but I wasn't quite sure what to put in the preface, the rest of the story will be good though. Promise :)
