Hello there,

Welcome to my first and new story!

Thank you Svaler for beta'ing this story and giving it shine, otherwise the preface may have looked like a casual jog!
All mistake's are mine.

The characters and Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer.

Preface:

Run, run faster, faster, running, keep moving.

I pushed my feet as fast as I could while I tried to get away; I needed to get away. Away from that place.

My breath came rapidly and I could hear the blood as it rushed in my ears. My footsteps sounded louder with every step I took. Moving my head from side to side my eyes scanning the trees afraid they would actually see 'them'. Fear almost swallowing me whole, trying to choke me. I couldn't give up though, not now.

A branch cracked beneath my bare feet, the sound threw me off guard and for a second, I lost my concentration on not falling. I felt the panic rise, my eyes searching even faster even though I moved downwards.

Just before my nose could touch the fallen leaves I stretched out my arms to catch myself.

I ignored the burning sensations on my palms as I quickly got up and started running again, despite my tired legs. There was no time to check on the damage.

After what seems like hours I stopped at the edge of a forest, a small pond slightly hidden by some trees. I walked towards it; instead of the hasty run I walked slowly. When I reached the edge I looked at the water, as far as I could see the water was clear and clean. I kneeled down at the edge and scooped some of the water with my hand so I could drink some.

After I had swallowed some I made myself stand. Watching my surroundings I saw some mountaintops peaking over the trees.

I looked around again, this time watching the tree line closely, making sure no one was watching me. I slowly kneeled down again, just enough so I could splash some of the fresh water onto my arms and then my face, washing away some of the dirt, tears and dried blood.

My clothes were a mess, my hair was tied in knots, but at least most of the blood and dirt wasn't sticking on my skin anymore. I longed for a hot shower, and some strong painkiller. I longed for a place which I could call my home.

When I stretched my legs a movement in the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned around as fast as I could. Almost tripping in the process.

In front of my stood one of the few true monsters, one that came straight from hell.

"Hello Isabella" he said with an icy voice, and terror shoot through me.

Hope you enjoyed this little Preface, leave a review if you feel like it they are very much appreciated!
