Prologue
I've had near death experiences before, and I don't mean with my mom's experimental cooking.
In fact, a day or two more than a year ago, I almost died. A relentless vampire, posed with the challenge of killing me, managed to lure me into a deserted ballet studio of my childhood and was literally seconds away from killing me before I was saved.
I was in other life threatening dangers before now, too, if you exclude me dating a vampire for six months.
I also dated a werewolf for about two.
Between the constant danger of bleeding accidentaly and then being sucked dry by the Cullens and keeping everyone in check or get mauled by a member of the pack, I thought I'd seen it all.
But now?
It was a totally different story. Rather than running from an enemy or constantly evaluating every move to ensure the continuation of my life – I was working to end it.
I was struggling, physically and emotionally. The trees held me back as I trudged through endless woods, my mind racing. What if I was too late? No – I wouldn't think that. I had to be just on time.
My life meant little to me today. Today I was racing to save something much, much more precious.
The life of another was the only thing that concerned me. The idea that he might lose it broke me apart. The gaping wound that once existed from my first boyfriend's absence practically paled in comparison.
I panted as I struggled through the obstacle course that scraped my legs and arms and tested my patience. I knew that as soon as I arrived at my destination, it'd be all over.
Death was a welcoming thought to me. As soon as it was over for me, he had his freedom. His life.
Another thought haunted my mind as I ran, though. This way, you don't have to choose, I reasoned.
However true that was, however happy it made me feel, it also made me feel guilty. I tried not to dwell on the subject because it added to the uneasy feeling already present in my stomach.
I focused my entire mind on my destination. Determination coursed through my veins, making my legs go as fast as possbile.
Then, they stopped. I stood still as I silently pulled aside a branch. The scene that unfolded before my eyes was surreal. Literally.

( AN : This is my first true FF and meant to be taken semi-seriously. Like the first one I posted, NBLFE, yeah ... not so great. I now look at it like a joke. So I hope you actually like this one!! )
( Blah : I'm not too happy with this Prologue. I actually, like, JUST wrote it. Yes, I wrote the entire story first. And AGHH I HATE FOR NOT LETTING ME USING PRETTY BRACKETS AND HAVING TO USE NASTY PARENTHESES! )
