**- CHAPTER ONE:: Prologue

**- B E L L A P O V

Things had changed and now I couldn't tell if any of it was for real or not. Everything was in the fast lane blurring around me as if I was at a standstill and the world continue to move and evolve around me. But my thinking was cut short by being brought back to reality, the life before me by a scream of anger and what felt like a brick colliding with my face. My once pleasant reason for existence had fallen into turmoil and now the candle in the end of the dark tunnel was flickering out slowly but surely and my life was turning into complete and total darkness and a nightmare. I felt like I was slowly walking towards a pond that led to the dark abyss in the middle of the freezing snow. Slowly walking to the center of it where I would slowly begin sinking. Mute to call for help, Being pulled slowly to the bottom of no return. Sinking slowly into nothingness where I wouldn't return. Trying to escape the slowly darkening corridor wasn't an option. I had tried. Every time be thrown back in the general direction of the dark abyss every time getting closer to limit my own steps of being pulled to it. That small light at the bottom seemed so close yet so far away and it was my desire to reach it. He wouldn't let me go. He was obsessed. In a stalker fashion not letting me from his sight making me hide the evidence of his anger which I wore like lacing ribbons on my body.

Things had changed and now I couldn't tell if her words were true or lies. Everything had slowed around me my now immortal life living in the fast lane. The world constantly going as I slowly came to a stand still. Her words echoed in my ears. The words I were slowly starting to disbelieve and the orders that were beginning to mean nothing to me. A light was growing in that pitch black tunnel but she wasn't the source of the light. Something else or someone else was. Which it was I am not sure But the steps I have slowly been taking to that cliffs edge preparing to Jump, her words slowly sending me closer were being hauled back in. I was being drawn backwards away from the cliff that jagged edge lead to nothing. I was being pulled towards the light and being saved from the sinking into nothingness. I was pulling away ever so slowly. She knew it and I knew she knew and it didn't matter. She seemed keen on keeping me locked away in a small box where only she knew its key origin but I was slowly whittling away at its lock and slipping through her fingers. Her pleads and actions would not hold me back from that light that seemed to be humming and calling me, I was almost free of the turmoil she caused which I wore on my heart like a lead weight.

I am looking over and in that Light I see my other half... Should I jump? Or Should I run?

AUTHORS NOTE OK this is the preface of the chapter down in the two main characters POV and then done in a combination of both their POVs. If you guess it was done in Riley's and Bella's POV you were correct. Its Obvious which part is which. But just in case. First Portion is Bella's POV, Second Portion is Riley's POV, and third portion which is just a deeply meaningful sentence is done in both their POVs. Imagine them speaking as them selves in the first and second portion then together in the third portion. Please Read and Review. Reviews mean the world to me.
