Preface

Author's note: I did not write Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse. Emma and Bryan are from my imagination, so please ask me before you use them.

This would probably be one of my most interesting encounters in my existence.

I had been running on this path for what seemed like hours, but was probably only a couple minutes. I was so eager to get to him-the breath that I did not need came in shallow gasps from the anxiety. It felt as if my feet never touched the ground-like I was flying. If my heart still beat, it would have come at about a hundred miles per hour; Okay, maybe that was an exageration.

My nose filled with a scent that made my nostrils burn as it became more pronounced. I continued to run, hot on his trail, my thirst in full power. The trees passed by at an impossible speed, making me feel exhilarated as I darted between the oaks. I was surprised I hadn't caught him yet; he was only a werewolf. Being a vampire, this should have been easy for me. I guess I was wrong.

As his scent became stronger, I knew I would catch him soon. I moved faster, eager to ease my thirst. A clearing opened up in front of me, the canopy of trees opening to show the moonless night sky. I stopped at the edge of a ring of leafy ferns, knowing that he waited for me on the other side. I stepped into the clearing, shadows bouncing off my beautiful, pale skin. He crept out silently, the dark black fur on his back standing on end. It became unbearably painful as my thirst yearned for his blood.

At slow half-smile crept onto my face, dangerous in its own little way. His lips curled back over his teeth, in his own wolf-like smile. We approached each other carefully, trying to see anything extremely treacherous in each other's postures. He tilted his head to the side; I tilted mine to the other. I looked deep into his eyes, sorting out the emotions that I saw there-rage, anger, confusion, pain. One of the emotions was echoed in my own eyes-the one emotion that kept his overpowering instincts and my painful thirst at bay:

Love.
