Hi! This is my new- and first – Twilight fanfic.
It's set during New Moon. Edward is still gone, Victoria is still hunting, but things are about to get worse.
I really hope you enjoy this! I know it's very short to begin with but I'd really appreciate it if you'd stick with this, it would mean so much to me!

This is crazy, I thought, as I wondered alone through the dark forest.

The sky had darkened above me, and now only the moon guided my path, washing the forest in a surreal white glow, piercing through the trees like white needles.

Shadows danced on the floor around me, flickering like candles, taunting me.
A shiver ran through my body, though it wasn't from the cold wind.

I had never felt more alone, or vulnerable – exposed.

I glanced nervously around the forest. I had no idea where I was, or how to escape the dark depths of the thick woodland.

But still I continued, though directionless. I wouldn't give up, I wouldn't stop.

The further I went, the further my common sense went to try to force me in the other direction. But I knew I had to keep going. I had to leave a trail, strong enough so she would find it and trace it here – to me. I needed her to come, so she would finally kill me and end this.

I knew that my death would stop her.

And, maybe I would even welcome it. A final relief. An ending at least. Through everything that had happened, everyone who had lost because of me, I owed them this much. So many people had fought to protect me, but they couldn't. Not anymore. I had to sacrifice myself.

It was the only thing I could do now. Maybe it was too late, but I had to try.

I had to try to save those I loved. And this truly was the only way.

My heart began to beat faster, my breathing became uneven. I glanced around me again, nervous. I wished more than anything that I was far away from here, safe. As I did, his face flooded my mind, paining me, but also making me continue.
I stumbled on the broken bracken, and held a tree to steady myself. I cursed lightly, through the dull pain in my ankle.

I leant against the tree for a moment, trying to regain my thoughts. I closed my eyes, and as I did, a single tear fell.

With my hand, I brushed it from my cheek. There was no time, I had to hurry.

After all, my life had very little meaning now...

Thank you for reading! I'd really appreciate it if you would review. I love hearing your thoughts and it motivates me to keep writing.
Thanks, Rose xx
