This story takes place after Breaking Dawn. The Twilight Saga belongs only to Stephanie Meyer.

A/N: Okay, so I haven't been fateful to my other stories lately, and I apologize. But then I had this idea I couldn't get rid of, and you know how uncomfortable that can be :) So here's the prologue, hope you enjoy.

Prologue

I consider myself lucky to be alive.

I know, it's a grim thought to have, but if you know the story of my life, I'm sure you'll understand. I have a gift; a talent, you might say. But I call it a curse. I see things that people don't want me to know about. I see things that will happen. I see things that have happened already.

Of course, I only see these things when I'm involved in them.

You might think that I'm exaggerating, but if I was, would I be being followed by people who want to kill me? Would I have been forced into an asylum, or have been subjected to experiments every day if I wasn't? Don't pity me though. I don't like sympathy.

But I wouldn't have survived if I didn't have this photo that my mother had given me while whispering in my ear,"Find her. Find them. You'll know where... She'll help you."

This single, faded out photo is the thing that saved my life. I have had it since my mother gave it to me, on the day they came to take me away. This is the only fragment, the only clue that I had in surviving; the only light in the dark. This is the last picture ever taken of my great-aunt.

Honestly, if I didn't have this, I couldn't have escaped from the asylum and have come to this orphanage. I know that I'm going to be adopted by a family of vampires. I know that they'll help me survive.

My name is Mary Cynthia Brandon, daughter of Anna Alice Brandon, granddaughter of Cynthia Anna Brandon... And my great-aunt, Mary Alice Brandon, is the reason that I am in this orphanage. The reason I escaped from the asylum.

They're coming tomorrow.

A/N: Hope you guys kind of got this gist of what the story is about. Sorry about the short chapter. And for the most of the middle names, I made them up, obviously. I'll update as soon as possible.
