The Day After Forever
A/N- This is my first Twilight fanfiction, so I'm pretty nervous. I was kind of disappointed with the end of the real Twilight, so I wanted to make a more interesting fight between the Volturi. The battle won't happen right away, as with the real book, and there will be a few interesting twists along the way. So, without futher ado, the preface! Enjoy.
Preface
Renesmee's POV
I was running.
The wind whipped past my face, my hair flying carelessly behind me. The greenery that made up the all-familiar forest blurred past, adding to the surreal effect that I loved so much. I was free...but most of all, I felt untouchable. I closed my eyes softly, not afraid of crashing. It was as if I could feel the forest around me. I inhaled deep, expecting the taste of oak to waft freely through my mouth. Instead, I tasted fire.
I opened my eyes quickly, and was shocked to see that scenery had changed. The foliage turned to ash, and the ground beneath me quaked. I slowed down quickly, looking around in confusion. The trees were gone, and left in its place was a barren wasteland.
Footsteps sounded behind me, and I whipped around, setting myself in a defensive stance. The figure was wearing a dark velvet cloak, which was draped carefully over their pointed shoulders. It extended to the floor, barely moving as the figure continued to move forward. The person was quite short, and their small frame seemed utterly breakable. But this wasn't what I was looking at. Instead, my attention was focused on the eyes.
They were blood red, and seemed as if they were burning over with fire. They bore into my own eyes fervently, causing me to step back in caution. My eyes drifted to their face, and I took in the femininity and pale beauty that screamed 'vampire.' The woman seemed familiar, yet I couldn't place where I'd seen them before.
"Who are you?" I shouted, surprised by how shaky my voice sounded. The person didn't respond, but rather smiled maniacally, showing off their perfect white teeth. They took another step forward, still looking slightly amused. I stepped back again, and let out a warning snarl. "Don't come any closer! Tell me who you are!"
"You don't remember me? How disappointing," the woman said, her surprisingly soft voice echoing slightly. "Maybe this will jog your memory."
My body was suddenly overtaken with immense pain, and I feel to my knees. My body contorted as I felt myself being ripped apart, burned, and beaten at the same time. I cringed on the ground, my teeth grinding together as the pain seared through my body.
Just as soon as the pain had come, it was gone. I opened my eyes slowly, and looked over my body, shocked to see it unscathed, not a mark penetrating my pale skin. I shot quickly up, and stared at the woman. She hadn't even moved, and looked as if she was rather bored.
"Who are you?" I whispered, my voice hoarse. She smiled again, and put the hood of the cloak over her head.
"You'll find out," she seethed, and began to turn around. "But remember this. I will be back, and next time, I'll bring friends."
She began to walk away slowly, and the scenery gradually shifted back into the original forest it once was. By now, her figure had been completely engulfed by the surrounding forest.
"Don't try and hide. We will find you," her voice rang out. I looked around, but I couldn't see her. "And we will pick you off one by one."
I woke up in fear, the strange woman's voice still ringing through my head. I looked around, reassuring myself that I was at home. That I was safe.
"Renessme?" I heard someone ask. I shot up in fright, looking around.
"Who's there?" I asked, my voice quaking. I saw a figure step out from the shadows of my room, and was relieved to see it was just my mom.
"Is everything all right, honey?" my mother asked me. I nodded in reassurance.
"Yeah, I just was a little spooked from a nightmare," I answered. Her face molded into concern, and she sifted into her motherly mode.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No, it's okay," I said, shaking my head. "I'm just going to go back to sleep now."
"Oh. Okay," she said, turning. She gracefully walked to the door and prepared to leave. Before she did, she looked over at me. "If you need anything, just ask. Goodnight, dear."
"'Night, mom," I said, closing my eyes. The minute I did, the woman's menacing face appeared behind my eyelids. I shot them open, sighing.
"This is going to be a long night…"
A/N- So, how'd you like it? This was just the preface, so therefore only a foreshadowing of the actual story. I'll actually continue it if popular. So that means, I need some reviews to act as motivation. Thanks, and have an amazing day!
