~PREFACE~
They say that before you die your life flashes before your eyes.
Every hour, every minute, down to the very last second.
All your regrets and mistakes.
Everything you should have done but didn't.
All the joys and all the pains.
All the people you love that you'll never see again.
As I stared into the blood red eyes of a monster, I only saw my death.
I saw how he would do it.
I saw how much he would enjoy it and I saw how much it would hurt.
And for a second, I could see myself breaking. I could see myself begging for mercy, begging to go home to my family.
I could see my crying and screaming and falling apart.
But begging wouldn't change things. It would only give him satisfaction and that I wouldn't do. No, this would be the death he carried with him for the rest of his miserable existence before his own death came.
And his death would come.
There was no doubt in my mind that this beast would fall.
And that knowledge gave me strength.
So I made a decision to give him nothing.
I was not going to beg for mercy.
I was not going to scream.
I was not going to be broken.
I was not afraid of him.
He could take my life, my blood, but he would not get my fear.
"Are you afraid, Isabella?" he purred, caressing my cheek with his cold, stone like hand.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But, even as I faced my imminent demise, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
As the monster smiled in a friendly way and he prepared to kill me, a lone wolf's howl was echoed in the distance.
