Prelude
The deeper you go, the darker it gets. Of course, I didn't realize that when I ran. I didn't know that someone I love, someone I cared so deeply about, could even consider this. I wanted to scream, but what good would that do? None at all.
I came to the conclusion that if I were to die, I wanted him to be with me - but I knew he was far away, still in the safety of our small town setting, unknowing that I had went after this monster myself.
Then the menacing voice I knew so well called out, "It's about time, Bells."
I thought for a moment I thought it would be like old times, before all of this, before he decided to take this road in his life. After a heartbeat, I remembered - he didn't care about anyone or anything anymore. I wished now, that my best friend, would just die, and leave everyone alone. For the first time, I wanted to kill someone. More specifically, the man that stood before me, hiding in the shadows.
Before I could realize what I was doing, I asked, "What about all of those people? Was it time for them, too?" I knew it was the stupidest thing I could of asked at that moment, but I wanted to know what could cause such a caring person, my personal sun in the rainiest and darkest place in the United States, to do all of this. He chuckled softly, shaking his head as he took a step in my direction.
"Why does it matter, Bells?"
Another step and he would be directly in front of me. Within arms reach. Within range. And I thought only of the one I loved, hoping he would come soon as I waited for the hand of Death to wrap around me...
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Not sure when the actual first chapter will be posted - soon, hopefully.
