Prologue

It all started on the day of my 17th birthday, June 28,1935(in this story Bella isn't human). My mom had forgotten about my birthday because she was so infatuated with her new boyfriend Phil. I didn't care anymore. It was always like this. My mom ignored me so much that I was completely numb to anything that happened around me. I had no friends to celebrate it with. I was completely alone.

I was wandering around in the book store looking for something to read. I had picked up Dracula, one of the most confusing books I have ever read. Though I did find it very amusing, actually I found all vampire books amusing, and incredibly stupid. I chuckled to myself as I came to the part where Dracula came out at night to do his hunting. There is no such thing as vampires, werewolves, and shape shifters.

What a load of crap.

At least.

That's what I thought. Until I bumped into them. I saw them and thought nothing of it. The five of them all with black or bleached hair. Their eyes I couldn't see behind the tinted sunglasses they wore. They were all giants too. Not one of them under 6ft. But what I found weird was that when they pasted me, for a brief second, I saw them flinch. Maybe I imagined it. Either way I had to leave. It was almost11:00 a.m. and I needed to start making lunch or Renee would go hungry, well, maybe not. I sure Phil will keep her from going hungry on my birthday.

So much for my 17th b-day. At least I had my driver's license. I was so focused on my self-pro-and-con list that I didn't notice them following me into the more secluded part of town where I had parked my mom's motorcycle, (from her college days when she was fast and furious. I found it last year in the garage, and when I asked her about it she said if I learned how to drive it I could have it. And that's what I did. I now had both a motorcycle license and a driver's license), when I finally did notice them behind me I shrugged it off as them parking near me.

I had no idea how wrong I was back then. I was innocent back then. I truly believed that no one would notice me with my pale translucent skin that when good with sunlight, but never tanned (unusual for Phoenix), pitch black hair that didn't get a bit lighter in the sunlight, and my purple eyes which I had covered up with brown colored contacts. I figured that besides that I was pretty much unnoticeable.

Apon reaching my motorcycle I started to fish around in my pocket for my keys I felt a hand on y shoulder. I tried to push it away, but it turned me around. That's when I came face to face with the tallest man I had ever seen. I had only been looking at him for a few seconds, but my neck was already starting to hurt. Seriously this guy must have been 8'1 or something. And that compared to my 5'8 is pretty far to look up.

"What?" I half mumbled. Irritated that a complete stranger was touching me. The others smiled at my expression, which was totally blank. Like kids that had just found a brand new toy.

"Ms.Swan." It wasn't a question.

"Yes…" He grinned.

"You're going to be coming with me and my friends here." I shook my head. Who did this guy think he was! Ordering me around like he owned me.

"No." I said flatly. He frowned.

"Did I say you had a choice Ms.Swan?" a sly smile crept onto his face. "Besides you wouldn't want us to order our friends to kill your mother and her precious boyfriend," he said nastily. I didn't do anything. Didn't say anything. I just stared. Then an aloof smile made its way onto my face.

"Go ahead and do what you want. No like she ever gave a shit for me anyway," I lied. I loved her. Her and Phil. I didn't blame her for leaving me alone. I mean. She had me when she was like 18. I had taken away her youth. If she wanted to regain it now, seventeen years later I wasn't about to stop her.

"I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Maybe this will convince you," he motioned for one of his lackeys to hand him something. It was a picture. And not just any picture. It was a picture of Renee and Phil beaten, blindfolded, and tied to a pole with what looked like metal fishing wire. That stuff could cut off limbs if you push hard enough. I froze.

"What do you want!" I growled. They all grinned a few of them chuckled under their breath. His answer was simple.

"I want your body," he paused to see what my reaction to that was. I didn't show anything. "You have the exactly the kind of body that we need for our experiments." He finished.

Okay…….wait………WHAT! Experiments. Uh-uh. There is no way in hell that they are going to use my body for some freakish experiment. I start to back up from them. They must be crazy if they think I'm going to go without a fight. "No….." That was the only thing I could get out before everything went black.

I woke up with a massive headache. Actually to tell the truth. My whole freaking body hurt like hell. I looked around. I was in a nice room on a king size bed, wearing one of the most beautiful ball gowns I had ever seen. Saw a mirror a little bit over to my left and got up to examine the damage.

I gasped at my reflection. My contacts were gone. My eyes were a pure dark purple with specks of red, but my hair was strait with a slight wave that went all the way down to my waist and the first inch(wide) in each side of my head my hair was dyed a very bright purple, it was perfect. Not to mention that the last two inches(besides my bangs which are purple) of my hair was dyed a bright red, I liked it. It was weird and different, just like me. My skin was the same color which was fine with me, but I couldn't help but notice the my body was in perfect shape. Well toned muscles, flat stomach, and a slim waist. I was the picture of absolute perfection.

I was so stunned with my appearance that I didn't even notice that the group of five had come in the room.

"I see you like your new appearance" one of them said.

"What did you do to me?" I asked awed by my refection.

"We have determined you to be the legendary Immortal Night Creature slayer and conqueror. That was prophesized by the stars seventeen years ago." That snapped me back to reality.

"You're crazy. Whatever you Night Creatures are, they don't exist." I said my eyes narrowing.

"No. You are wrong. You are stuck at the age seventeen forever. You are immune to all Night Creature powers and venoms, you have super human strength and senses, you have all the fighting skills of every culture and religion trained to perfection. If you do not believe me then lift up that piano there. It weight nearly five hundred pounds, but you should be able to lift it with one hand" he pointed to a grand piano. Disbelief colored my face. There is no way. NO WAY I'll be able to lift that with two hands much less one. "If you cannot lift the piano then we will leave you alone, now and forever."

"And if I can?" I asked curious.

"You will do the job that destiny hath chosen for you. Because even if you don't want to you will be able to tell a Night Creature from the humans. Also because many will seek you to control you or try to destroy you, but you are indestructible. Now." He said in a softer voice. "At least try to lift up the piano." It couldn't hurt to try. I went cautiously over to the piano and found it was incredibly easy to lift up. Okay, I thought. Maybe this is made of some fake material. So with that I simply dropped it and found(much to my surprise) that it made a huge dent in the floor before shattering sending splinters of wood everywhere, and making an awful noise that hurt my sensitive ears.

I looked at their faces and saw amusement. "Oppps" was all I could say.

"Do you believe us now?" the one from earlier spoke, amusement clear in his voice.

"Yes. You have my attention." With those words spoken they explained everything to me, and my never ending adventure of a life began.
