A/N: This is a reupload, so if you are reading this and think it sounds familiar it's because I posted the first few chapters on my other account. However,I have now forgotten the login so have had to change accounts - annoying as I have now also lost all reviews.

I've always loved reading these type of stories and even though they're a quite a few on here, most of them are either incomplete or take a while before updates and I'm a very impatient person :p

So here is my promise to never read my lovely readers waiting too long for an update.

Enjoy and this is story is told from Edward's point of view.

I shook my head as I sat in front of the piano, wishing for some strike of inspiration to hit me but so far I had nothing.

"Edward," I heard my 'sister' Alice call and I listened carefully but I all I could hear from her thoughts was 'Get in here now!'

Figuring it must be important; I dragged my feet into the living room to find the rest of the family all gathered all the chairs around the large coffee table.

"Yes?" I inquired, glancing around the room but they all just shrugged back at me asides from Alice who held a thick book in front of her as an answer.

"You asked us all in here to read?" I asked with an incredulous look and Alice rolled her eyes.

"Yes! But it's not any type of book." She stated and I raised my eyebrows in confusion. "It's a book from the future revolving around our lives. That's all I know." She added when she saw my mouth begin to open.

"Alice, books from the future don't exist." Rosalie pushed but Alice simply placed one hand on her hip.

Neither should vampires but here we are." She retorted and I couldn't help the smirk that graced my face.

"Girls." Carlisle stressed. "Let's just read the book. It's not like we don't have time."

I sat myself down on an empty seat while Alice skipped over to where Jasper was sitting and sat herself down next to him. "I'll start."

She opened the book to the first page and read in a loud, clear voice – "Preface."

I'd had more than my fair share of near-death experiences;

"Who is this?" I asked, as far as I remembered all of us had only really had one in which Carlisle turned us.

"It's not told from any of our point of view. It's from the perspective of a girl named Isabella Swan." Alice answered, consulting the back of the book.

"Swan? She must be the chief's daughter." Carlisle muttered but the rest of the family ignored him, eager to get on with the book.

It wasn't something you ever really got used to.

It seemed oddly inevitable, though, facing death again. Like I really was marked for disaster. I'd escaped time and time again, but it kept coming back for me.

"Poor girl," said Esme worriedly.

"She must be someone fun to hang with." Emmett laughed.

Still, this time was so different from the others.

You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers—the monsters, the enemies.

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options.

"I'm sure you wouldn't love someone who was killing you." stated Emmett but once again no one paid attention.

How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it?

If it was someone you truly loved?

"That's the end of the preface." Alice told us, looking up from the book.

"She sounds like you, Eddie. All pessimistic and that." Emmett winked but I ignored him, shaking my head.

"Who wants to read the first chapter?" Alice asked, holding up the book.

A/N: And there we have our preface. The first chapter will probably be up later tonight, if not early tomorrow so keep an eye out.

Please review. Suggestions as to who should read next or just a note
