Prologue

My name is Marie and my twin sister is Bella. Our parents are Renee and Phil and we live in Dallas, Texas. Our mom died three years ago, it really was a tragedy. She died because my father was pissed off. That is the sole reason she is dead, because he can't control his freaking temper. As you can imagine, Bella and I don't like him much (Duh) and he realizes that. That's why he doesn't like us. At all. When he is angry he beats us, horribly. Burns, cuts, and all that 'fun' stuff. Most of the time I take the blame, so that Bella doesn't have to. I wouldn't be able to see her hurt, I love her too much. She hates that I take her beatings but, she also realizes that she wouldn't be able to take them. Not to brag or anything, but she is way more fragile than I am. She realizes this. We both dream of leaving our father but, we are only 12, where the heck would we go?

My name is Bella and my twin sister is Marie. My mother was Renee, I loved her dearly. She died three years ago because my father (Phil) was too angry to control his temper. Besides that night he never hurt her but I can't say the same for Marie and I. He beats us, well mostly Marie on a regular basis. Marie, even though I hate it, takes my beatings for me. She is so much stronger than I am. I love her so much and hate to see her hurt but I don't think I would be able to take it. I know I am weak but it is just the way I am, and I hate it. I just want a normal life, a normal family, but instead I get this. The only reason I am still sane is because of Marie. We both dream of leaving our father but, we are only 12, where would we go?

A/N: Is this story even worth continuing, don't judge it to harshly, I am only 13. Just wanted to try my hand at writing. If this goes as planned it will be a four part story, like the original. It will be the same story with a few twists but, the same main idea. There will be Vampires and Werewolves. This story will be told in Edward's point of view. The regular chapters will be longer than this, this is just a prologue.
