A/N: This is a Twilight fanfic. I know I know, not another one! Ah well, can't get the story out of my head. This is thanks to the ultra-sexy Peter Facinelli. My story is slightly AU, in the fact that...well you'll see the differences. MOST main pairings are correct and I've tried to keep it to the original story as much as my storyline will allow, that belongs to Stephanie Meyer!
This is a Prologue, of sorts. It occurs some time after Edward marries Bella, after Dana has met the entire family...but before the real story begins. I hope that made sense, because to me it seems to. No? Yes? -crosses fingers-
This story is dedicated to my friend Ails, you know who you are luv, and you know why.
A pale hand smoothed itself across warm, bare flesh, where shoulder becomes arm, and back to the base of a neck, raising goosebumps where it passed. Shivers could be felt just below the surface of skin. Only the sound of their unsteady breathing could be heard, and one heartbeat. Eyes roamed over tanned skin, wishing to see more- to feel more. To remember. To memorise. Another's eyes passed over a pale face, sculpted, angelic- handsome. Two people, two minds, one soul.
"Carlisle..." she breathed, "You have a wife."
"Hmm?...Oh...Esme!"
"Forgotten her already?"
"No, never!"
Dana stepped back, her face shuttered closed, her eyes lost all emotion. She had locked all feelings away...once again.
"Dana? Don't, please? We need to..."
"WE don't need to do anything! There is NOTHING we need to do! You got that? Nothing!"
She turned to leave, Carlisle grabbed her arm."Talk to me. I need to understand..."
"What's to understand? You left me. There was no reason. You just left."
"There was a reason..."
"Oh right yeah, you're a vampire...AND?"
"I didn't know then..."
"You didn't want to," she whispered, "you left me. You...you...i can't even say it...what made you choose Esme, Carlisle? What was so wrong with me?"
"You don't know the whole story."
"Will it make a difference if I do...REALLY? What could knowing possibly change?"
"Dana..."
The sound of footsteps drawing near was heard.
"Good evening, Dr. Cullen," Dana said as she walked away. Pain sliced through Carlisle, like only once felt before...
I know, I know, short chapter...I really dislike sort chapters, but this is just a sneak peek. I will really try hard to keep the rest over (well over) a 500 word minimum. Ok? Sorry again.
Reviews please! They're as good as real love, better even...sometimes :-D
