Prologue: The End
I do not own any charcters in the Twilight series. :(
The meadow looked exactly as it had the last time I had seen it, as if nothing had ever changed. But it had, I was alone and Edward was never coming back.
The sun was shining which just made it look even more beautiful. The knee high grass was so familiar, so inviting. I ran into the middle not caring how much it hurt for the memories to flood back, for the gaping hole inside of me to burst open. It was the only thing I had left that reminded me that the last year was real, that they were real. As I lay in the grass I couldn't help but feel as if someone was watching me.
"Why Isabella what a coincidence to see you here," I sat up so quickly, it surprised me but not him "I saw the Cullens had left and was sure they had taken you with them."
As I stared into the familiar face I couldn't help but feel as if I was in danger, but he was my friend, Laurent was my friend.
"Laurent? What are you doing here?" The surprise in my voice was stronger then I thought it would have been.
"Just passing through, I thought I'd stop by and visit Carlisle and the rest of the family but when I noticed they had left I decided to go hunting." His eyes flickered to me and that's when I noticed, his eyes were not the warm gold color I was so used to but a deep crimson.
"Oh, so have you been staying up in Alaska with Tanya and the rest of her family?" I glanced towards the treetops as a bird flew by, hiding from his eyes which were full of hunger. I hoped he couldn't hear the fear in my voice as I quickly geared the conversation away from hunting.
"Yes, I stayed with them for a while," I could feel his eyes on me, it was getting harder to breathe normally "but I decided I had to get away for a while, I don't think I could have stayed on that diet for much longer."
"What?" I turned my head towards him but quickly turned it away and concentrated on playing with a loose thread on my shirt.
"It gets hard once you're so accustomed to human blood, you miss it. I guess you could say I cheated a bit." I saw him step closer to me out of the corner of my eye as he let out a small musical laugh. As he stepped closer my entire body tensed up. "You do smell delicious, like freesia perhaps. Victoria would kill me if she ever found out, but I'm sure I could fight her off."
I looked up just to see that he was already in mid air coming straight towards me. Then his razor sharp teeth cut through my skin as if I was made out of jello. After only a minute I heard him pull back and say something under his breath, and that's when I heard it. Something running towards us growling so loudly it was hard to hear myself think. As I lay there my eyes closed I could only hear the fight raging on, a horrendous scream and some snapping and it was over. I fought to open my eyes and when I did I only saw a huge animal, a wolf, running off into the forest. That's when the burning began; it flowed through my veins to every part of my body.
And just like that my human life was over. I could feel the venom flowing through me making me the one thing I had always wanted: immortal.
