THIS IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ! Author's Note: All right people, I did it. I finally replaced my decrepit computer with a all new high-speed computer! Woo!

Anyways, this is a completely different story than what I usually write. For starters, most of my stories are fluffy. This, not so much. It's not depressing, but it's not vampires cooking and going to the beach, either. Secondly, this is intended to be an actual story, not just a one-shot. Thirdly, this is AU story, something I have NEVER done. The idea to make this story is based off of a dream my mom had about angels.

Now, I am in NO WAY trying to upset people. I know religion is a touchy subject, but I thought this was a good idea. I am NOT saying that anything in this story is true, nor am I trying to negate what you believe. Believe it or not, this story isn't going to be full of religious things like Jesus and God. This is purely about angels, and what would happen if they suddenly stopped protecting you.

My mom has always believed in Guardian Angels, and I do, too. I have nearly died way too many times (falling down a flight off stairs as a baby, nearly drowning in the ocean, etc,) to not believe that something has helped me. Because of that, my mom and I always thank our angels for taking care of us. But my mom had a dream where she didn't appreciate her angel, and it started causing her harm. I thought it would be a good plot line.

I am not a deeply religious person. I believe that something is there, but I don't have a name for it. I'm more spiritual. That being said, I'm not trying to upset anyone. If you don't want to read this, you can either look at my other stories which are completely religion-free, or you can just ignore me. I'm not going to be blasting any type of religion, (Catholic, Mormon, Muslim, Buddhist, etc) so don't get pissy. This is something that I thought would be good. And mixing it with Twilight just makes it better for me.

Also, this is only a Preface to the actual story. I want to see how this story is recieved before I really start posting chapters on here. So leave a review, telling me why or why not I should continue this, and then I will decide.

Sorry, this has been a painfully long Author's note, but I need to make sure that you all don't think I'm trying to make fun of your beliefs, or that I'm trying to offend anyone.

Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer, and I do not own Twilight.

PREFACE.

I should have never denied it. Looking back now, it was so obvious. But I had been blind, and now it would cost me greatly.

I'd had my close brushes with Death. Car accidents, fires, stalkers. But I lived through it all. Someone's watching out for you, people would say. I never believed them. To believe them would be to accept that there was a higher power, and I just couldn't do it. After years of torture, I'd long given up on the idea of anything protecting me.

I'd constantly refused the opinions of people saying that something was looking out for me, mocked the idea mercilessly. There was no such thing.

But what if there was?

As I stood in the cold forest, snow falling gently to the ground as the wind whipped and stuck my hair to my bloodied face, I questioned this epiphany.

What if, there had always been something there, fighting off the accidents, fires, and criminals? What if, after years of being ridiculed and rejected, the higher being got upset? If it suddenly stopped?

I couldn't ponder the idea for very long. Across the wintery ground, the figure trembled and shook with it's fury. The angel's shoulders tensed before it sprung at me, flying over the ground faster than my mind could catch.

I closed my eyes.
