Playing with fire

Can she let go of her past for the sake of her future?

Katarina was one of the most remarkable vampires Carlisle Cullen had ever met. Turning up on his doorstep in the pouring rain late one night, Kat's eyes were already golden. She was only three days old.

How can this be?

Kat enrolled at Forks High School along with the rest of the coven, and was an instant hit with the other students, much to the confusion of the others. Humans keep away from them – survival instinct makes sure of it. So why does everyone love this girl with no last name, no history, no background?

Despite their early reservations, Kat charmed her into the heart of the family, and Jasper insisted they shouldn't push her to talk about herself. The two grew close, and became good friends as well as brother and sister. And when everyone distrusted Bella with their secret, their lives, Kat stood on Edward's side.

But Kat's life has always been controlled. And now, with the battle against Victoria looming on the horizon, Kat must make an impossible choice. Can she build herself a future like the one she'd dreamed of all her life? Or will her fear of her past, and inability to believe that one wolf and one family has the power to save her, keep her from breaking free? And even if she can bring herself to trust again, can Katarina Cullen really choose between the family she has grown to love, and the family she was forced to leave behind?

The Twilight Saga as told from a different perspective – that of a troubled young girl desperate to be free.
