Hi! This is just a little something that's been floating around in my head.
Nessie Cullen has struggled with her thirst for blood since she was born in London, England, in 1712. She's been off the wagon several times and has searched for hundreds of years for others of her kind: vampire hybrids. Being half vampire and half human, Nessie is very solitary and very alone. When her family takes her in again and they venture to Forks, Washington, how will her life change when she meets the handsome, fun, mysterious Jacob Black and his friends? How will the Volturi react when she encounters certain people and uncovers certain secrets? With death threats, discovering others of her kind, and the threat of falling in love, how will Nessie balance it all and her desire for human blood?
Prologue:
I KNEW WHAT WE WERE doing was wrong. I knew we were in big trouble. But in the moments that we were together, nothing else mattered to either of us. When we were together, we were just two people, sharing everything with the other. He was what I'd been searching for for years, decades, centuries. If I didn't have a good hold on him, he could slip away. And I just couldn't afford that. Not emotionally, mentally, or – somehow – physically. I felt as though I'd physically fall apart if I ever lost him.
With all the surrounding tragedies going on around us, it seemed selfish, foolish of us to continue on like this, blissfully ignoring the world caving in on us. My family, his family, at war. At war with each other. At war with the Volturi. The wars were so silly to both of us that maybe it made sense for us to ignore the feuds. While the people we cared about fought with each other, we stayed happy and whole.
We didn't do any of this on purpose. No one could blame us for anything. I almost wanted them to, so someone could take blame for everything bad happening. Again, that thought of not caring entered my head. We were together. We were happy. That was all that mattered. Well, that's all that should have mattered.
