Okay, this technically isn't the first Twilight fanfiction I've written. I have written one other that I posted years ago, but never had the heart to finish; plus many more that I'd gave in and just trashed before they made it to the posting process. However, this might be the first one that I've written that I really like and see having potential. Though, here's the thing, this is a story I wrote two years ago and never finished. I wrote it during the time I was dealing with an ex-boyfriend and kind of needed something to vent my feelings. That pretty much means I'm not as in touch with the concept I originally set for this story, but I have revised it a bit in my head and I've written some notes in case I lose focus again (which I'm praying I don't *Fingers Crossed*).

The way that I came across this story again was I got bored one night, and I was reading through some of my old fanfictions that I'd written and never posted. This one here really caught my attention, and by the time I got to the end of the few chapters I had written, I kind of wanted to bang my head against my computer for an hour (Sadly my mother wouldn't let me lol). That's how bad I felt for never posting this. Anyway though, so far I've got nine full chapters written from before, and I'm currently writing the tenth. I'm going to warn you all though, I'm not a frequent poster so beware of the time it might take me to upload again. Plus, I currently have to use my Uncle's computer to access the internet, and he can be kind of iffy about letting me use it. So, well, hopefully you get what I mean.

This chapter you're about to read is just something I've written to kind of catch your attention, and I was going to throw it away, but I liked the Prologue to much…or is it a Preface? I don't know, I tend to forget lol. Anyway I really hope you like it, and I'll probably be posting the real first chapter right after this one, so please enjoy.

P.S. This story is rated M for a reason. It contains strong adult language and sexual references. Plus later on some adult situations if you know what I mean (though I'm still debating that.) So, if you are not over 18, please, I recommend you not read this. However, I can't control what you do, but I do pray that you take this to heart.

Oh extra P.S. PLEASE REVIEW! I'd like to hear what you all think too, and I'll give you a cookie if you do. LOL

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight whatsoever, or its original characters. The only thing that I own is my own invention of characters and their background. So please don't sue me Stephanie Meyer. I don't have any money anyway lol. :-)

+Prologue+

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months….years.

Just ways we tell the time that passes us by. Time, how it drifts through our hands; only noticing its disappearance when the last grain of sand slips through the hourglass.

Time has no compassion; not for the sick or the healthy. Time does not even bat an eye for the young or the old. Time is cruel; ruthless.

….and I've learned to hate it.

Time is what stole those precious moments of my life away. Time is what helped change my life in a matter of seconds.

Tick, Tock, goes the clock. How it mocks me; reminding me how I can't go back to change that single second that damned me to this very moment.

Mankind has rarely taken the time to notice their actions, or the things they do.

So, maybe that's why God punished us with Time's brother.

Death.

Just another word to personify another heartless non-being.

Death, with his cold pitiless glare, and icy touch; oh how he can sneak up on you at any moment, and pull you away from this world, even as your screaming and kicking all the way.

Death doesn't spare anyone either. Eventually, he will find you, because Death is never deceived. He does not play a fool so easily, and undermining him only results in his own vicious wrath. Death will only make it worse for you if you resist.

Time…Death….

We were created to fear these two brothers, but only to deeply worship their sister.

Life.

She breathes her soul into us, urging us to move forward. She tries to make us thankful that we have Time. With her love she neutralizes her brother's cruelty that Death bestows upon him. With her help, the universe manages to balances itself between the good and the evil.

These siblings, and their triangle, are what make us who we are. Without them the universe would fall into chaos.

So, why would I hate all three of them so passionately?

I guess it might have to do with the constant struggle between Life and Death. Somehow, during their battle, I'd gotten caught in between as they tried to make things right.

Now, I'm my own phenomenon.

I despise Death, because it will not come quick enough.

I detest Life, because she bestowed upon me this curse I bare.

Though, above all of them, I loathe Time the worst. Time mocks me, as he holds back his relentless brother from yanking me from this world; the only escape I have from this curse that Life has given me.

Do not think me wrong, however, when I assume there's no way around Time. I know how to fool Time. Yet, I'm too much of a proud person to pull those stunts, so it is with my honorable decision I chose to stand by Life's side longer. I choose to endure my cruel fate with my head held high.

I am not weak. I can persevere through this.

Now, if only I can convince my body what my mind believes, as I lay here slowly gasping Life's last bits of air. Grasping at the loose ends as I try to hold on to the sound of his voice.

If only I had realized what I had done sooner. Maybe this wouldn't be the last time I'd be staring up into his eyes.

However, it seems the twisted three can't be deterred from their mission now.

Hope you liked this first taste. Anyways please remember to review, and I'll be nice and give you one of my famous chocolate chip cookies, or any kind of sugar filled cookie if you review really. lol
