PREFACE
Who am I you ask?
Well let me start by saying that there comes a time in everyone's life when the idea of eternity becomes more real than you can imagine. Your life, everything that meant something to you will eventually rot into a solitary, hollow existence. The sound of crows cawing and the wind whistling as it wraps itself around the trees were the only sounds I could hear next to my rapidly beating heart.
My whole body was numb; I didn't know if it was because it was so cold or if it was because I had given up. I don't even know how my legs found the will to continue because I had truly given up on life, hope and everything.
Step by step my bare feet scrapped along the forest floor turning them deeper shades of brown from the dirt. I had no idea where I was, how long it has been or where I was going; the only thing I could do was keep walking. My whole body ached and no matter how many times I changed my posture I couldn't find one ounce of comfort.
I held my arm to my chest and growled as my shoulder popped back into place. My jaw was throbbing and the blood still oozed out of my mouth from the tooth that had been pulled out forcefully. I gathered the blood up in my mouth and spat it on the earth before grabbing my chest again. It was my ribs that hurt the most; every time I trod on a branch and it snapped I kept having the same recurring image of my ribs breaking.
The only good thing to happen so far was that the bleeding from my head had finally stopped; but it stained the whole side of my face a deep crimson red. I tried to examine the blood stains that was on my torn shirt and the blood covering my palms but my vision was that blurred my hands looked like distorted red blobs as I held them out in front of me. I didn't have to see it to know that it was there because I knew that this blood was not mine.
"If you go down to the woods today" I heard her evil voice as she sang in my head.
I pulled at my hair and slapped at my head.
No. Not that song again!
Oh god, please anything but that!
"If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone,
Its quiet down here in the woods today, you'll be safer to stay at home,
If you go down to the woods today you better not say a word,
because you will die screaming and never ever be heard"
"No" I screamed pulling at my hair.
Before I knew it the world started to crumble and turn upside down. It felt like I was rolling and tumbling for ages. I growled out in pain as my back slammed again something hard then I realised I must have fallen down a hill or a slope of some sort. I panted heavily as it felt like my ribs were about to cave into my lungs. I had gotten used to the texture of the forest floor that's why I was curious to know what this unfamiliar terrain was I was lying on.
I turned my head to look but the darkness from the sky mixed with my blurred vision couldn't make it out. Instead of using my sight I decided to feel around instead. I hissed in pain but eventually I sat up and felt around with my hands. The surface was hard and gritty but also smooth in some places. Is it possible that after minuets, hours, day or even weeks; I had no idea, of being alone that I had finally stumbled onto a road?
Roads are just a huge part of things people take for granted in this world. They never appreciate where it came from or who built it. A road was built for a reason; to get you from A to B. This road was also built for a reason and it must lead somewhere, but which way to go. Up or down?
With a painful sigh I somehow managed to pull myself back up to my feet. I glanced up the road then glanced in the opposite direction; it was pointless because I couldn't see anything anyway. I began walking up the road, not by choice but because my feet were literally dragging the rest of body along with them because the longer I stayed still the more painful my body and ankles felt.
I stumbled a few times and fell on my knees; again I didn't know how my body kept on going. I walked in the middle of the road. Not that I was expecting a car to come along and eventually plough into me, it was because it felt like the dark shadows from the trees on either side of the road were trying to grab me and pull me back in.
I walked for what seemed like eternity and studied every sound that came from this hell I was enduring. I knew what animal was watching me from the shadows, what birds were cawing or chirping; not by name but from sound. There was one sound that was new which I couldn't make out. The sound was familiar to me but from a distance it sounded like humming then it turned into roaring as it got closer. With it came lights which eventually blinded me as it slowed down.
I stopped and raised my hand up to cover my eyes from whatever it was. My vision was still blurred so I couldn't make out what it was. I heard what sounded like a door open then I thought I heard talking; I heard a male voice speak to me.
No.
They have found me.
This was it.
I was going to die!
"Put your hands up!" The male voice commanded.
His voice was unfamiliar, it wasn't him; this was good. I swallowed the blood that had gathered in my mouth again and shuddered at the metallic taste.
"Clasp you hands together and place them above your head, palms up!" He instructed again.
I followed his instructions. I was hurting so much and too exhausted to argue, fight and defy his commands. I lifted both hands around the back of my head and hissed as my already throbbing shoulder blade popped out its socket again. I probably looked like I had been in a bloodbath so I could understand why whoever they were was being so carful of me.
"Chief, I think that's one of those kids!" I heard another voice say.
"Where are the others?" I think the chief asked.
I tried to clear my already dry throat and tried to speak but nothing came out.
"Where are the others?" He asked again more firmly this time.
I tried to gather up some saliva then I tried to answer again.
"There all dead" I whispered, my voice was so hoarse.
"Who are you?" The chief asked.
Who am I you ask?
My name is Edward Cullen. Now let me tell you the story of how one mistake left us all condemned to a series of malicious consequences …
