A/N: So I was sitting at work today just thinking about this dream I had. It wouldn't leave my head, and so I started writing. I wrote out the entire outline for the story/book within 30 minutes and decided to test the waters with the story by using Stephenie Meyer's characters from Twilight to tell the tale. All characters belong to Ms. Meyer, but the story is all my own. Enjoy!

Prologue

Let me first say that I DON'T believe in the paranormal. I don't think that ghosts haunt houses or that vampires and werewolves are secretly living near Seattle, Washington. Hogwarts is a place of fiction, and no monsters are living under the beds (at least at my house). I know the difference between reality and fantasy, and I don't mix the two.

Or at least that's how I used to feel. Then, the most bizarre turn of events led me to where I stand today. My life was forever altered because of one strange evening. I don't know what to call the specific event that led me here, but I do know that if for no other reason, that event taught me the most valuable lesson in life. I'd like to take the time to share this lesson, and my story, with you.

That is, if you're the type of person who is willing to open up a closed-off mind and believe in the impossible. Are you game?

A/N: Please consider reviewing each chapter with your thoughts and even possible ways to improve. I truly appreciate it. Thanks!
