A/N: This was something I came up with while reading Luvinj's "Rewriting History". I fell in love with one of her characters so much (she knows which one, I don't want to give anything away to anyone who hasn't read it, which you should, go read it now before anything else) and I thought 'man, I love the idea of it. What if...?' So, hence comes the idea of what if Twilight was in Jacob's POV and when he first meets Bella, she's already a Cullen? I'm going to try my best to write this in canon. We'll see what happens. ;-)

Preface
I should have known it would come to this. I guess, on some level, I always knew it would but hoped it wouldn't.
My dad flitted through my mind. If only I had listened to him, if only I had heeded his warning and stayed clear of the very ones he wanted me to. If only I had stayed home that first day like he had begged me to.
But as I lifted my eyes to find the deep scarlet irises staring back at me with a predatory determination and an overly satsified smirk on my killer's face, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision I'd made to walk out the door that day. If I had to do it all over again, I would do everything exactly the same, except maybe be here right now. I could do without the painful death I knew I was about to endure. Yeah, that would be my only change.
At least I knew my father would be safe. I just prayed that someday he would understand. That they all would understand. I had been given a dream these last few months, no matter how taboo or unthinkable it seemed to them, and I could never regret it, regret her. Never.
I braced myself as I heard the slow, careful and nearly silent walk of my killer coming towards me.
