Author's Note: Hey guys! Welcome to my first ever Twilight fan fic! I don't really know what else to say, except thank you to Mystic Angel for being my Beta reader.
Prologue
Life does funny things to me. It always takes me by surprise and I never know what will happen next. But life, God, the universe- whatever you want to call It- threw me a curve ball that I would have never expected.
I fell in love when I thought I could never fall in love again and he was amazing. Supernatural. Literally. But the problematic thing about this new love is, how can you love some one who wants to kill you?
Can the Prey love the Predator and still live? Is it even possible?
* * *
It was a cold night in New York City. I was out on a date with this guy named Steve. We went to the same art school and were coming out of the movie theater from a special screening that our school hosted. Steve and I walked down
the icy streets as small flakes started to tumble down from the sky.
" Slow down, I have heels on tonight" I laughed as I tipped towards him and hooked my arm with his.
" I'm sorry" He said, stopping for me to catch up, " You've picked the perfect time to wear those things"
" Because their cute" I said grinning at him, " you don't like them?"
" I like anything that you wear Kirstin" Steve said rolling his eyes jokingly.
I slapped his arm, " That's such a guy answer"
" Last time I checked I am one..."
" Hush."
I really liked Steve. He was my first love interest after having a broken heart . We first met at our school's Halloween party at the wax Museum in the city. I was really drawn into him and his whole "energy".
We'd been hanging out and getting to know each other ever since then. We finally got to the dorms and the laughs died down.
"You wanna go up before we get catch frost bite?" I asked shaking the flakes from my hood.
"No, not yet" Steve said, " I want to talk to you first"
I silently nodded and took his hand. We walked in silence for a few minutes until he took a deep sigh.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked
"Well, you remember that girl that I told you about? The one I was interested in before I met you?" He said.
I nodded again, my mouth gone dry by the mere mention of this mysterious girl.. He told me about Her before, but never mentioned her name.
" I think I want to be serious with her" he muttered, as if he was realized this for the first time
My body went ridged and I stopped in my tracks. "What?" I whispered in disbelief
" It's not like I don't like you, Kirstin" said Steve, " I just like you as a friend. I never had a girl as a friend before and your the best one I've had"
Tears stung the edges of my wide eyes. Life has a funny way of throwing things at me. Steve surprised me by saying he just wanted to be friends. I took the news with grace but when I went got back to my room I fell
apart. Sticking out from my bag was the christmas card he gave me earlier that night. My first intention was to rip it up in a million pieces but I opened it. It said: Hope that you enjoy your Christmas and it is filled with nothing but warmth
and love! I'm blessed to have gotten to know you , and hope you have the best this holiday season. It made me smile for a moment, but the sadness came right back. Even worse, winter break was only two days away. I was forced to pull
my self together and fake it for my parents.
" Oh honey! I meant to call you sooner" said my mom through the phone with a disappointed sigh, " your father and I won a Holiday getaway to Cancun"
My eyes went wide with shock. " Cancun? When? How?" I said.
"I entered us in, but I didn't think we would win. I also thought it was a trip for four" she muttered, "I couldn't read the fine print...I'm so sorry Kirstie"
" It's fine, I'll just spend my break with Kellyn this year" I said optimistically, " we'll do a sister thing"
" I'm sure she'll like that" said my mom, " I love you and I'll call you when were on our way south, kay?"
" Yea, I love you too mom"
I hung up my phone and quickly dialed Kellyn's number. Come to find out she already had plans to spend Christmas with her boyfriend's family. So without any other option, I brought a bus ticket for Ellington, my home town, the Siberia
of America.
I guess I'm spending my break alone.
