Hey, I couldn't help myself. I had to post another chapter. After all, the prologue doesn't give you much. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1 – The Mission

Two Years Later

Mick and I were kissing passionately in the airport terminal. People were stopping to stare, but we paid them no attention. The only thought running through my head was that I wasn't going to see Mick in over two months. Aro had decided that I should be pulling my own weight – even if I wasn't a vampire.

So he told Mick to give me an assignment – any assignment. I would have thought that Mick would've chosen something where we could be together, but he didn't. He was sending my to the dreary town of Forks, Washington. I had an impossible mission, but I wasn't going to tell him that I would fail.

In the middle of our embrace, the loudspeaker boomed the final call for my flight. He kissed me on the lips before pulling back. He said, " Goodbye, my dear. May your mission be a success." I let one teardrop escape as I boarded the plane, and sat in my first class seat. Of course rich vampires were going to refuse to have me ride in any other class.

I pulled the manila envelope from my backpack, excited that I finally got to break the deal. Mick refused to let me actually see my assignment until after I'd boarded the plane. I pulled it open, and reached inside eagerly. It read:

This assignment belongs to Bella Swan. The task

To be completed is kill vampire Edward Cullen.

Do not under any circumstance, let your true

Purpose to being in Forks, Washington be known.

You are to kill him no later than Dec. 31, 2007.

Good luck Bella Swan.

As my eyes scanned the assignment, I almost cried out in fear. They were sending me…to kill a vampire!?! Why? Mick expected me to be able to kill him? I can't even stay standing upright.

Obviously, he thought I could achieve, so I should believe so too, right? Right, I told myself, as I closed my eyes to get some sleep…

Well, there's the next chapter. Review!
