Preface

The soft light of the moon illuminated the mansion as angry fire bolts of lightening stormed across the sky, passing each star. I braced myself as I begun to climb the steps up on the front porch. Half of the wood had begun to rot causing parts to creak and groan even under my light footing. I sucked in a much-unneeded breath tasting the bitterness and the musty stench that lingered around the house.

I steadied myself when the rain started to pour, large droplets came crashing down, pools of water developed in every hole or dip there was in the wood.

The door swung open causing a loud crash inside.

'We've been expecting you. You are late.' Marcus beckoned me in slowly.

'Yes, come in my child.' Aro's voice called cupping his hands in front of them - where I placed mine.

'You haven't visited in so long my sweet, I thought I would have to send Jane to check on you.' Aro's hand smoothed down my cheek making me cringes at his touch.

'I haven't felt the need to, until now.' I replied calmly – stepping back just a little away.

Aro beckoned Marcus and Caius, both took either of Aro's hands while they shared a little nod.

'Ah I see.' Aro's sly smile crept up at the corners making mine twitch with ansixety.

Then a single wolf howl pierced the silence, I knew what had been decided.
