Grateful Beauty: A new fairytale
Summary: She was cold. Her world had stopped. Then he found her and she was warm. Then her story really began. New Moon, AU, Sam/Bella imprint story, from angst and pain to sweet and fluffy.
Prologue: Warm
Cold. She could remember being cold, but now there was nothing.
The nothing seemed eternal.
No awareness outside herself existed.
And then slowly she realized there was some sound, a low rustling nearby.
Not that it really mattered. Would anything EVER matter again? That question, that thought pulled at her quiet mind. It was too big. Ever. She used to be quite sure of her forever but it had disappeared.
Sounds. Dull sounds floated around her but she couldn't focus. Didn't care.
When the very trees around her began to move and the sounds became sharper, she wondered what had really changed but she was so tired. So sleepy...so warm. She was warm. She was safe. She slept.
