A/n: This story is in modern times, but it has a fantasy twist to it. By the way, the Cullens are not vampires, but vampires do exist in this story.

Prologue

Once upon a time, there was a young baby girl by the name of Isabella Swan. She had short, curly mahogany brown hair with natural caramel highlights and wide, doe-like eyes as sweet and warm as milk chocolate. Her skin was white like purely fallen snow, and her lips were a beautiful, coral pink. To anyone who laid eyes on her, she was a stunning example of what child beauty looked like it. And sadly, one pair belonged to an young man with an possessive gleam in his eyes, which gaze was intensely on the child.

"She's here. She's finally been born!" The man shouted with glee, rubbing his hands almost tenderly like on the crystal ball he was staring at. His eyes were a vivid green, like those of emeralds, and his mussed hair was reddish brown like a fox. His clothes were that of another time, perhaps during the Middle Ages. A dazzling peacock blue robe with golden stitches around the edges that was opened in the front, (exposing his muscular physique), and black velvet trousers. His feet were strangely bare, but around his neck was a silver chain necklace, the charm hanging at the bottom showing two scythes crossing one another with a ruby cut into a star shape form in the very middle. The ruby glowed as if flames burned behind it.

"Oh, my dear. How I wish I could claim you as my own now…but even I have my limits. My morals," The strange man whispered in the dim darkness. Closing his eyes, he moved his hand over the crystal ball with an sharp swipe. In seconds, the image of the newborn baby girl was gone, along with the smoke slithering around it.

"Eighteen years, on this very night. That's how long I will give you, my love. Until then, I will watch over you in your dreams, waiting for that faithful night to arise." The man then stood up straight, and glided slowly out the room, the flames of the torches on the wall dying out with each step he took until there was nothing else, but pitch black darkness.

I know it's short, but is it not promising? I hope you enjoyed this little thing at least, and will stay to read the rest of this dark tale.
