Annie's POV Twilight's POV

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back" -Harvey Mackay

Time it was endless here, you didn't have to worry about that here. It felt as though it never stopped going. But the more time I spend here, the more I realize this isn't real, this isn't my home. It may seem like it every detail is perfect, some wouldn't even notice the difference. They act the same, talk like them, smile, laugh, their eyes shine like theirs, their body movements are like theirs, but I know the difference. They cannot treat me like I fool, I know it's not them. They cannot fool my heart into believing yet another lie.

I stare at them night and day, I wonder when will he tell me the truth? Will he ever? Or will he continue to lie to me? Haven't I suffered enough for a lifetime? I touch the hands of my lover and pulled him into the woods. He looks down at our intertwined hands, he looks at me and smiles, and I smiled back. We stopped far away from the house in our favorite spot. I turn to him, I pushed him to a tree, he looks at me confused but I only smile. I lean forward, our noses touch and I kissed him, passionately yet gentle. I kissed him with all the love I can out into one kiss and I felt his hands around my waist. I pulled back he whimpered, I laughed at that sound. I stared into those golden eyes and he stared back into my hazel eyes. I could see all the love, adoration, and the affection he had towards me.

"What's wrong, Annie?" he asked in southern voice. He frowned and wiped away a tear that I didn't know fell. It hurt to see him worry about me, but I had to do this, I had to be free.

"I love you,"I tell him staring into his eyes and he smiles.

"And I love you," he says. I lean in to kiss him one last time and he kisses back. I quickly pulled away, his eyes shown confusion at first but then they showed hurt, pain, shocked, and betrayal. He slowly looks down at his chest and sees a knife in the middle of his chest, and I holding the end of it. He looks up to me and I slowly back away from him. He touches the knife and looks at me.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because you're not real," I said as tears fell from my eyes.

His expression shown pain but understanding, with one last smile he pushes the knife further inside his chest and he slowly disappears. When he finally disappears everything around me starts to disappear as well. I look around and see everything fades away, in the end, I was left in an all-white room. I slowly get up and wipe away my tears, I looked around and decided I should look for someone. But before I had the chance to take a step forwards I saw him standing a few feet away from me. Quickly I went to running towards him, jumping on him I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I was happy to see someone familiar. I pulled away and smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Annie," he whispered. He looks the same as I remember him. His candy green eyes staring into my hazel one. Before he could say anything else, I raised my hand and I slapped him across his face. He looks at me shocked. "What was that for?" he asked rubbing his cheek.

"That is for making me leave, you dumbass," I said glaring at him and he looks downs.

"I had to do it," he said still rubbing his cheek.

"I don't care. I told you and the others I didn't want to leave but no, you guys forced me out. And let me tell you it was painful" I said. It was silent he didn't say anything but continued to rub his cheek.

"How long have I been away?" I asked and he looks up.

"Not that long, your niece is born and Bella just became a vampire," he said and I nodded.

"What have you been doing all this time?" I asked and he looks away embarrassed. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Dean, what have you done?" I asked and he doesn't look or answer me.

"Dean," I said and finally he looks at me.

"Okay, promise you won't get mad," he said. I placed a hand on my hip, raised my eyebrow at him, and stared at him. He got more nervous.

"I may or may not have been going into their world and pretended I was a ghost you," Dean said shielding his face from me. I stared at him shocked.

"Why would you do that?" I asked and he looks at me from his hands.

"Because they were losing faith and they needed someone to be there for them, even if it was for a short second," he said slowly putting his hands down. I jumped on him and hugged him.

"Thank you that was sweet," I said and he hugs me back.

"No problem," Dean said. We hugged for a while before we pulled away.

"So what now? Hey, what was that back there?" I asked and he looks at me confused.

"The whole fake Twilight, I was in heaven," I said he finally understands.

"Oh that, well we had to keep you there for a while. See if you notice that it was fake," Dean said and I nodded.

"Yeah, I notice," I said sadly.

"Hey, I'm sorry but you notice within the first two days. Some of the Angels said you wouldn't even notice," Dean said and I looked at him confused.

"You don't want to know what we do up here," he said and I sighed.

"Alright so what now?" I asked.

"Oh, well you were supposed to umm, be reborn as Bella's daughter," Dean said and I looked at him shocked.

"W-what?" I asked. What the hell does he mean, I was supposed to be born as Bella's daughter?

"Look, she was supposed to have twins but umm, the babies body was weak and didn't make it so umm, now we go with plan B," Dean said smiling and it creeped me out.

"What's plan B?" I asked and his smile grew.

"Wanna have a friendly bet?" he asked and I was getting afraid of this plan B.

"Mmm, what kind of bet?" I asked and his smile grew if that's even possible.

"Okay, so this what will happen..."

Unknown Person's POV:

I have been walking these for as long as I can remember. I am all alone in these woods, no one ever comes here. There's a legend about a monster with red eyes who kills people if you walk in the woods all alone in the night. There's a lot of different stories about this monster but my all time favorite, is that this monster is tall with razor-sharp claws that can cut you into pieces in one swing. I wish that was true, it'll be easier for me to dig out the heart. But sadly I don't have claws.

Out of the nowhere, I hear a loud pitch scream coming from deep inside the woods. Curiously I decided to follow this sound and when I got there I regretted coming. In the middle of the woods, laid women with her stomach opened, it seems as though something forced itself out. Slowly walking over there I see that the woman is dead. I bend down and closed her eyes, hopefully, she can rest in peace. Looking up I see a man with bright green eyes staring at the woman but he was carrying something, more like someone. With a flick of his hand, the woman disappeared and I quickly got up.

"Who are you?" I asked him. Curiously I wanted to take a look at whatever he was holding. I turn to look at the man and he was already smiling at me.

"I am just a humble messenger but this little being here," he said revealing a small child. I stared at her shocked, she was so tiny, tinier than my hands.

"Who is she?" I asked. I felt a bond with her like I was meant to protect her from any harm. I didn't know I was walking towards the little girl but I stopped when I notice.

"Her name is Annie and you are now her protector," he said. The man looks down at the tiny child and smiled.

"She isn't like any other child who ever lived. She will grow at a rapid speed do not be alarmed but this. She is very important, take good care of her and do not let her be harmed in any way. If she does then it's your head," he said seriously.

"What if I don't want too?" I asked. At first, he laughs then he turns serious.

"Then you'll leave her to die," he said looking at Annie. Somehow my non-beating heart broke. I couldn't let that happen to her, she's just a child.

"What am I suppose to do?" I asked and he looks up.

"In four months, you will travel west and find a coven of the name Cullen. They will need your help but do not reveal her name call her by a nickname if you must. William this is serious and important, she must always wear a veil to cover her face. There will be a man who can read minds, use your gift and do not like him see this moment-"I interrupted him.

"What if he does see it?" I asked.

"Then all her hard work will go to waste. There's a particular man in that coven, he must know, he must be the first to know who she is. He will not be there but when the time comes, when they finally meet, you'll understand why. I ask of this, William, take care of her. I did something selfish and wrong and I'm asking for your help. Will you help us?" he asked. I don't know how long I stared at her and at that child but something in me screamed at me to do it. It screamed and begged me to help her, to help Annie.

"What is she?" I asked. The man looks down at the sleepy baby and caresses her cheek.

"She is light within the darkness, she is grace and she is our hope. She is AnneMarie Charlotte Swan and she is home," he said before kissing her forehead.

He turns to me as tears fell down his face. He walks over to me and hands me the small child. Once I held her, he disappears just like the women from early. I looked around to see if he was anywhere near but he wasn't he was gone. I looked down at the small child and I watched her slowly opened her eyes. I was shocked to see such strong color in a newborn. Her bright hazel eyes stared straight into me burgundy red eyes. She smiled at me, a smile so lovely that somehow I felt like it sealed the deal I just made with that man. She stretched out her tiny hands towards my face. Curiously I lean forward, once her hands touched my face, I saw it. I saw her life, I saw her struggles, I felt her pain, now I know why she has to wear the veil.

"Oh, Annie what have you got yourself into this time?" I asked her and she laughs and smiles. And I couldn't help but laugh with her. That silly little bet with Dean.

"Alright, I'll help you but you gotta help me too. I haven't had any human contact in almost 200 years well besides killing them-" Annie scrunched up her nose in disgusted and I laughed.

"Oh alright, alright, I won't do that anymore. We'll have to learn how to drink animal's blood" I said and she nods.

"You're a smart little baby, aren't cha?" I said teasing and she rolls her tiny little hazel eyes but smiles.

"Alright let's go, I have a place up in the mountains. We'll have to keep you hidden until it's time" I said as I ran towards my cave, making sure I didn't hurt Annie.

"Well here we are," I said and I turned Annie so she can look at it. It wasn't much but living all by myself I don't need much. I had some chairs, pillows, and blankets laying around. The ground was actually all sand that I bought from the nearby beach. The clothes I have are either stolen or are from the men I would kill. But having Annie with me I won't kill humans, we'll learn to hunt animals, together. I turn to Annie and she was smiling.

"Annie. Wait let's call you hazel? Because of your eyes," I said and she looks up, thinking. Then she looks at me and smiles.

"Welcome home, Hazel," I said smiling at her. It feels weird having another person with me. But it feels nice not being all along in this world. Dean was right, Annie is the light within the darkness. She's my light, my new friend, my new purpose to continue living in this awful world. Who knows, perhaps having her with me, I'll finally find my mate.
