Preface
All I could do was watch as things went horribly awry. They needed a diversion, but what could I do. I was a weak, stupid little human. The new borns were gaining by the second. No one, not the wolves or the Cullens, could keep them back. They might die because of me. I could not let that happen. But before I could act, a pair of ice cold hands slid around my throat.
Chapter One
Edward's cool hand slid through mine as he guided me to my next class. It was one of the few that he, Alice and I didn't have together. He gently pecked my forehead before gracefully striding down the hall. I sighed as I walked through the door to gym class. My lack of coordination gave me a huge disadvantage. I dreamed of the day when I could become as agile and graceful as Edward and his family.
The only problem with my becoming a vampire was breaking the treaty between the werewolves and vampires in Forks. And Jacob Black, my best friend, dreads the day they turn me. He thinks I will become to different from the me I am now. And not only will Jacob be upset, but Edward won't change me unless I marry him. For very selfish reasons, I hate his condition. My parents would flip and while I would love to be Mrs. Cullen, marriage is something I'm not ready for yet.
Jacob is not the only one who wants to keep me human. Edward wants to feel my warmth and keep me human for as long as possible. And Rosalie, Edward's sister, thinks Im making the wrong decision. It's not that she doesn't want me as her sister-in-law, but the thought that I'm giving up opportunity. Rosalie would have given anything to have a child of her own, but her window of opportunity for that has been long closed. She thinks it is a waste to give up that opportunity so willingly. It's official, I will be changed, but I have no idea when.
