AN: I am aware that I posted this before but I finally decided how I was going to deal with the story so I am reposting it. And be aware there are very big changes near the end of the Prologue so you should probably at least reread the end of the prologue if you have already read it.

Prologue: Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.

Prologue title quote is an African Proverb.

There is a truth in this world, it says that from day to day it seems as thought nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different. I hate the truth; it is depressing and uncreative. Lies are the fun stories, the ones that are remembered. Don't believe me, just open any history book.

Someone in the future may believe that I am over stepping my boundaries by telling you that history, as the population knows it, is not the truth of what has happened, they are wrong. If anyone has the right, the responsibility to tell anyone and everyone that historians lie and always have, it is mine, my right, my responsibility.

This may raise a question or two. Namely, who am I to say that history is wrong or that I am the one who knows the truth better than all else?

The answer to both is because I am angry, I am bitter and I am fed up. I have every right to be angry and bitter. I have seen so deep, been so far, experienced so much that I have far passed earned the right to be the way that I am.

I have two more quotes for you before you can possibly understand me.

First: "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return," Nat King Cole first said this not too long ago, and I have never wanted to kill someone more than when he did.

Finally: "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin was a brilliant man. In all my years, that is one of the only things that I will ever attest to history being correct about.

There is a story that has been written and rewritten so many times that there are only three facts that still hold true. They are, "In the beginning," "and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat" and "she took the fruit and ate it."

That is where my story starts, however my story does not get interesting at all until many years later but the beginning is still important for you to be able to understand. So now I will tell you the first truth, the one that started all of the lies.

Xoxox In the beginning xoxox

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, the water and the land, the animals and the plants. This they got right, I will give them that, after that is where they fail.

After everything was done being created God saw that he was still not done, it needed something more; something to care for the animals and the plants, the water and the land, something that would know by instinct how to nurture and to care and to love. God created women and named her Bella for her beauty and her heart.

There was one thing that Bella was not allowed to do. There was a tree and of knowledge of good and evil that she was not allowed to eat from, God gave her no reason as to why. For some time she did not eat, as she had been told, but when God made Woman and gave her free will there was something in her that he did not know. In her was a burning fire, small at first and unnoticeable, but the fire grew. That fire is where all of her instincts to nurture and care and love came from.

God was not who gave her those instincts it was born within her, born from that fire. If God was not the one who gave her those instincts that told her to eat the fruit, then how could God tell her to not eat it? And so, with that logic alone, no serpent or devil's temptation, she ate the fruit.

The fruit opened her eyes not to good and evil but to two truths, love and death. God had planned to keep Bella ignorant to death so that she would have to bear the pain of knowing that all around her the creatures she was nurturing for were not like her, there time in this paradise was limited like hers was not, for God knew that this would make Bella sad. God also kept the truth of love from her because if she truly knew what love between two beings was supposed to be then she would realize that she was alone. All around her were pairs of creatures who had that love, but she was created to care for these creatures so she had none to be with. This God knew would make her angry. God was right.

When God confronted her for eating the fruit she did become angry, and in turn God too became angry. Anger was an emotion that God was not equipped to experience, so when he did something fantastic, terrible but fantastic happened. God became two. There was God the merciful and forgiving, and there was the other great being that was anger and hate. Neither being had control over the other, as they both were born from the same thing. The being full of anger and hate was the one that Bella brought out, and it was that being that she had to deal with.

The being cursed Bella for her crime. All around her would love her, she would be loved but not in the way love was meant to be. She would be loved with a false love, a sensation to be called lust. She also could not love, she could care and nurture as she always had, but she could not love.

With that curse the being gave her another one. She would forever be cursed to see those around her grow old and die, no matter how much she tried they would one day be gone from earth.

The being, later to be called Lucifer the Devil, then left for heaven, but could not enter. Because there was no purity in his heart he could not pass through the gates. He again became enraged and created an Anti-Heaven, or Hell. And as Earth would be her prison, Bella would not ever be allowed to enter either Heaven or Hell, only those who left their bodies and Earth could enter there.

The new, merciful God gave Bella a gift however; he created Adam and Eve. Bella wanted nothing to do with them, for she knew they would leave her as all things would, and they would find love like she could not.

As the story goes, Eve too ate from the tree, however as she was tempted she did not become cursed as Bella did, she only got childbirth, a period, and mortality. Time continued on and Adam and Eve had children, who in turn had more children, who in turn had more children and so on and so forth.

Xoxox

Much time had passed and Bella lived on. Bella became strong and powerful, but never power hungry. She left the dying, so that they might live without the burden of having to lust after her. As time went on however she became lonely and bitter so she decided to finally venture out to mingle with the others.

It was then that humanity learned of deceit and jealousy. The men wanted her, even if they were already tied to another. The women wanted to be her, because the men all wanted her. All of humanity wanted to be able to stay on Earth like she could. She knew that this made them fools.

God saw this and decided to help Bella; he created another being that could not age, he no longer had the power to make his creation truly indestructible as Bella was, for he was not the whole being that created Bella, he was only half. But the creature would be immortal, only able to be killed not to die.

This infuriated Lucifer, Bella was to be alone forever. So as he did with Bella he cursed Gods new creation. The creature would be immortal, yes, but would be killed by the very substance that started this entire story, the substance that existed deep with in Bella, fire. The creature would also live off the very beings that Bella was made to care for, the blood filled, and as punishment to God for giving Bella this gift of a being Lucifer gave the creature a poison. The poison was made within the creature and gave the creature the ability to make more of its kind from the children of God's precious Adam and Eve.

Bella was infuriated with both God and Lucifer. God gave her an immortal, just one more being to lust after her. And Lucifer turned the immortal into a vampire, speed, strength, sparkles and all. She wondered when the two would learn to stop medaling in the lives they created.

The creature had some control and for years never created more of his kind. He fed off the blood of the mortals, which in time caused them to fear him. So he, like Bella hid, only to go out to feed. The creature was immune to the power of lust created inside himself by Bella's curse, however his offspring were a different case.

It was found that some of his offspring remained immune from the lust, but others were like the mortals and had the same lust for her.

Xoxox

More time passed and the first creature was killed by one of his three offspring, as they began with less control then he did.

Bella tried to say away from the creatures and the mortals, but there came a time that all the Earth was occupied by some form of human, both creature and mortal alike.

Finally giving in Bella began to mingle with the mortals, still bitter over the creatures. She grew more bitter and angry over time, for because of her curse there always seemed to be destruction in her wake. With her anger and bitterness she occasionally gave the mortals what it was that they wanted from her. But she always left, causing only more destruction and mayhem.

If you look closely enough you can see her story dotted through out history, never in the forefront, but always there.

Around the time of the Roman Empire, God came to Bella again. He had a job for her, and in exchange for that job he would promise her that an out for her curse. If she accepted, God would create a man, one man who could save her soul forever. It would be that one man that could break her curse and they would love, not lust, but love entirely and completely (forever and ever amen.)

She agreed. She would take God's job. It was only after she accepted and gave her word that Lucifer again found out about God's plan. But as the deal had already been made, he could not stop this man from coming into existence, he could however slow him down. So Bella took the job God offered; she was to watch over the vampires, to be sure that they did not grow too powerful or that they be revealed to the mortals, for if the mortals knew the truth of the vampires and of Bella they would turn away from God and become angry and hateful like Lucifer. And in return Bella received that promise that one day her curse would be lifted, she did not know when and she did not know where, but he would come and he would rescue her.

Xoxox No longer in the beginning xoxox

Bella's story is one that is not known, but it is the one that has always and will always begin and end all others. Some who hear this story now will laugh at her story and believe it is only there to teach the young. Some will disregard her story because they cannot accept that what it is they have been told is not true, and everything they believe is some form of a lie. Some will not believe because the think that they know it cannot be true because it cannot be explained by science. However the most unfortunate of them all are the ones who believe her story, for they are the ones who will forever be waiting to know how it ends as all their other stories do.

It is your choice now reader to decide which of those people you will become, whether you will believe the lies you have been told and continue on with your life as it is meant to be or if you will be pulled in by the truth to forever crave to know how her story ends. The decision is up to you.

But before you decide you must be cautioned Bella's story does not end, it cannot.

It continues on beyond the end of time. It always has and it always will. It is the story of one woman and the consequences of one action. It is the story of a world altered all because I ate a stupid fucking piece of fruit.
