Prologue

As I stared at the vampire who was so similar yet so different from the vampires I had grown to love and consider my family, I felt a pang in my chest. A pang of grief and fear mixed together.

As I stared into the vampire's bloody red eyes I felt again the shivers running up and down my spine.

Then I looked at the other vampires who also surrounded me, as if they thought I, a mere human, would be capable of making a successful escape.

As I faced the leader, who was smiling at me, he spoke.

"At last you are finally away from those Cullens," he said, his lip curling on the name 'Cullen' as if it were a filthy word not to be spoken in any conversation. "Which means we may do whatever we want to you."

Ignoring the fear I felt, I met his gaze evenly and said, "And what exactly do you intend on doing to me?"

He smiled, showing perfectly straight ultra white teeth. "I have decided to either kill you or since I sense you will be very useful to me, I may turn you into a vampire – and force you to kill your precious Cullens yourself."

A/N: It's a short prologue... with a weird title I might add. But you'll get understand why that's the title probably around the last chapter. I hope ya liked it!
