Prologue: The Beginning

Bella's POV

Sam… Sam… Sam Uley.

Get out of my head. Please, just… disappear.

He had been the only thing I had thought about, the only person I had thought about, since he found me in the woods that night, since the night Edward had left me.

My mind raced and raced in circles. These unfaithful and unfamiliar thoughts… they wouldn't leave. No matter how hard I willed them away, it was like the harder I tried to push them away the more fiercely they would grow. And when they would go away, if only for an hour, if only for ten minutes, they would always come back stronger. The pull to be with him was greater and greater, it was unstoppable and uncontrollable. But I couldn't let myself give into these thoughts… these desires.

I didn't even know Sam. He was a Quileute. He was two years older than me and I didn't even know his parents names. I didn't even know if he had parents.

But what I did know… what I did know is that I couldn't stop thinking about him. He was all I saw when I closed my eyes, all I saw when I opened them and all I saw when I looked at myself in the mirror. I would see him as I drove to school and as I sat in class, I would see him in my dresser drawers and my closet.

And the worst part about it all… Edward no longer hurt me. He would no longer speak to me in times of danger or stupidity, he would no longer appeared in dreams. The chain he had attached to me for so long had been severed, broken. The pain that made him real, the pain that made him remembered… it was gone.

And so was he.

AN: I know it was short, but it was the prologue. Chapter one and the following chapters will be much longer. So… what did you think?
