Not mine it belongs to Stephenie Meyer. All I own is the plot. Enjoy! I re-edited everything.

I sighed as I looked at the tree in front of me. I was running around in circles. Defeated, I went and sat down on the ground. Three weeks ago vampires had come out of hiding. The reason was obvious. Humans were destroying earth and women were becoming scarce because of a new cancer virus.

The virus spread through the main food supply attacking women from the inside, eating there organs. For some unknown reason the virus didn't attack males. Scientists assume that it has something to do with our sexual organs, but have found nothing to prove that theory.

When the virus started two years ago the world had gone into a state of panic. Every last penny was used to try and find a cure. Unfortunately all our research failed.

The vampires, seeing the state of panic the humans were in, saw this as a golden opportunity to make themselves known.

The Volturi and Cullens, the vampire elite, decided that in order to save mankind (more like save their food supply) they would take over everything.

So they started designing "safe havens" deep in the rainforest for any females left. When I found out about this I couldn't help but snort. Vampires are selfish and this was just another selfish act.

You might wonder what use females would have for vampires (other than breeding). Simple: Mates.

Round about the same time as the virus, vampires found out that a large number of females had the same blood connotation as different covens of vampires. In vampire society if a female carries the scent of a coven, she usually ended up as the mate of one of the coven's males.

Now if we fast forward to three weeks ago I could explain why I am stuck in the woods, in the middle of nothing and nowhere, and even walking in circles if I might add. In a news broadcast Aro, leader of the Volturi coven, announced that all females would be collected (like animals) and transported to one of the "safe havens". Which practically could have been the same as: Let us round up the whores and take the with us to make lots of babies and a few vampires very happy.

Now you might see how I could be a little pissed off at the idea of becoming some vampire's breeding whore. So the day just before the Volturi where supposed to arrive I fled into the woods. I packed a bag full of necessities and ran as fast as I could, trying to escape my fate. I did not tell a single soul of where I was going, not even my parents.

Every night, just before I go to sleep on the hard ground, I imagine what my life would have been like if none of this had happened. Probably very boring, but I could have lived with that. I could have gone to college, could have gotten married, maybe even to Mike Newton. I could have been averagely happy, but most of all: I could have been with my parents.

And, just like any other night, I fell asleep picturing my fantasy world.

I frowned, trying to figure out why this morning felt so much more different from the previous. I kept my eyes closed just in case some strange animal was trying to make me his dinner.

"You think that's her."

I froze, trying to comprehend what was happening.

"That's a stupid question. Of course it's her. How many females have you seen in the last week?"

No, no, no. How could this have happened? I was so sure that I covered my tracks. The only way this could possibly be happening is if these men found me by accident. In which case I have the worst luck.

"What do we do, Dave?"

"You know what we have to do Steve. We have to call 'em. If we don't they'll kill us."

My heart rate spiked after that last sentence and it took every fibre in my being not to just jump up and run away.

"Do you have their number?" Steve, I presume, asked.

"Course I got it you imbecile. I'm not stupid."

I heard the rustling of clothes, which I presumed was Dave taking out his phone, and my flight instincts took over. Without a second thought I jumped up and started running.

"Hey, stop right now."

"Come back here."

I could scarcely hear them over the beating of my heart and the wind going over my face.

I almost thought I was free, and then it happened, just as I am about to celebrate my success, I trip over a root. I guess that is what a lack of balance as well as no food or water can do to you. And by the time I was on my feet again Dave and his friend had already caught up to me.

"Let me go!" I screamed as one grabbed me from behind.

"Sorry Poppet, but if we don't call the vampire guard we will be dead in less than two days."

With that, the other man, whom I presume is Dave, pulled out his phone and dialled a number.

While it was ringing Dave put it on speaker phone and Steve tied up my hands and feet.

"Please, please don't do this." I begged. Steve just looked away in embarrassment.

"Sorry," he said before he walked away

. "Hello, Jane speaking."

Dave looked at me before responding.

"Yeah hi, we found the girl you're looking for."

I closed my eyes trying to block out everything.

"Someone will be there right away." Was all I heard before Steve hit me over the head and darkness overtook me.

I could hear horses galloping in the far distance. I wish I could say I forgot everything that happened, but sadly, no.

I could already feel the danger radiating off of them, even from a distance. The traitors saw the vampires to because they stood up, trying to look respectful. I wouldn't have shown respect even if I could have. I will not submit to these monsters that have destroyed my life. Nor will I let them change me. I will escape, even if I die trying.

I could see four of them, all inhumanly beautiful in their own way. There was a young girl with three men beside her. The girl had blond hair and she was fairly short. Next to her was a big brute of a man with brownish coloured hair.

As I looked further I saw two more guys, both as big as the first. Then, suddenly, the girl spoke.

"Hello I am Jane, this is Felix, Demetri and Peter. We are here to thank you for finding her…"

Jane interrupted herself after a slight breeze bypassed me. Then, as if rehearsed, all of them took a deep breath.

"It can't be." Felix said. "It can't they died. All of them we saw it."

"Reincarnations are possible, don't you remember Victoria." Jane said.

I was starting to get extremely confused, which in turn irritated the hell out of me. Honestly, the nerve of some people, talking about me with no fear of being heard. They probably thought that I did not know what they were talking about (in which case they would be right).

My annoyance reached new heights when they started talking at lightning speed. Which just infuriated me more. If something is wrong with me, I damn well won't to know what it is. Finally after years and years and years of talking (I exaggerate when I'm annoyed) they finally thought to include us in the conversation (how considerate).

"We thank you for finding her. She is the most important person in the world from henceforth."

"A few decades ago the Cullen men lost their mates in World War II. They were still human at the time, and came to a quick death. There is nothing more depressing than a vampire who has lost there mate. Nothing more dangerous. Nothing so filled with hatred for the world. Usually they end up being killed or committing suicide. Unfortunately, we just can't lose the Cullens, they are too valuable."

"We have been debating for centauries what to do, but now we have the answer," Peter said.

This was the exact moment Jane turned to look at me.

"You carry the scent of the Cullen coven."

Fuck my life.
