Hi, all!!! I'm so happy. I got so many good reviews on "Up in Flames" and that made me happy!! Okay, moving on... I give you the preface of "Nevermore." This is just after Charlie dies, mind you. So she's pretty upset and heartbroken and all that good stuff. And I'm sorry that it's so short, but think of it this way: I had SO much trouble making it THIS long!!! Hehe... Writer's block is like a friggin' party, baby! So, without further ado, I give y'all the preface of "Nevermore!!" And please, please, PLEASE review like crazy, like on the previous story. I need motivation, and y'all are it. Thankee! Sharky was here.


I lunged forward, my teeth bared. He cowered against the wall with crimson eyes. I saw the fear in those eyes, but I surged forward. Strong arms encircled my waist, but I clawed and bit at them until they released me. I ran forward and scratched at his trembling granite body. His eyes squinted in pain and then glazed forward before turning to ash when I set fire to him. He deserved this for killing Charlie.

The same stone arms that restrained me earlier stopped me before I went any further.

"Bella, Bella, wake up," my angel's voice murmured in my ear. I turned around and he melted away into nothingness. Nothing. Nothing stopping me, restraining me. I ran out the door of my father's old house and ran until I could run no more. I screamed and hollered and howled in agony, fury, terror. Shadows followed me. I stopped against a tree and shrieked as the shadows moved to engulf me. I felt a nudge against my arm and came to. I had been daydreaming again. But this time, I screamed instead of biting my lip. The horrified shriek rumbled through me like an unstoppable train.
