1. Preface

The Hunter

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight as I am not Stephenie Meyer. Since I am not her, I make no money from any fanfictions I post. I also don't own the Evernight Series by Claudia Gray which is part of the inspiration behind this story.

AN: I originally started writing this story in 2010 but removed it in 2015, it was only about a third of the way done. This was always a story that I wanted to finish but after awhile I wasn't a hundred percent happy with the direction I was taking it. So while this is a re-post... it's also going to be a rewrite.

Preface

"What are you going to do now?"

His question was so basic, so simple, and yet so complicated. He had no idea what he was really asking. I had limited choices because I could never have him. My one chance to even live was to run, but if I ran I'd never be able to stop and I'd have to go so deep into the underground that I'd become worse than the very creatures I'd been raised to kill.

I didn't think I could do that.

"Your family will need to leave Forks and never go back, change your names, forget that you ever met me, and most importantly be much better aware of your surroundings in the future. I may have decided you and your family don't deserve to die – mostly because of my feelings for you – but no other of my people will do that."

"And you?"

I didn't say anything for a minute before I finally swallowed. "I'll return to base."

"Why do you say that like it's a death sentence?"

"It is."
