Prologue


BPOV

The night was their only cover, hard, cold stones dodged the tree's like experts. With my eyes squeezed shut, I could only hear the wind rushing past us as we made our way through the dark night.

I opened my eyes to see the all to familiar dark tunnel of my almost demise. I have no doubt in my mind that this will end up badly. My large captor finally set me down on the stone ground. I don't know who, but the lights get turned on. Officially blinding me.

"Bella dear! And still human. What a shame!" Aro's over cheery voice says in my haze. "Very human, much to my distaste." I mumble the last part under my breath, knowing very well that they can still hear me clearly.

"Ha, ha, ha. Dear Isabella, would you like to be changed?" I nodded, "I would, and its not like I have the choice. I really don't know why you would ask." I asked trying to rub the sleep out of my eyes and yawning at the end.

Aro's tinkling laughter filled the large room before I was grabbed again by the silent order. I bit my lip to keep in the cry of pain when I'm slammed into the stone wall with too much force. The two gray cloaked figured are pinning to the stone with and iron grip.

"Good, good Isabella. This will hurt a lot." His smile would have been infectious if it weren't so sadistic. Slowly he made his way over to me with pain reflecting in his milky ancient eyes.

When his papery skin made contact with my neck, I immediately tilted it to the other side for better access. I squeezed my eye's and mouth shut, mostly to keep shuttering from his frosty touch and the other so I don't have to see myself get bitten.

The feel of his teeth in me, are like daggers piercing hot butter. I can feel the pulling sensation as he takes a drink from me. Finally, his dagger are removed the delicate skin of my neck but I'm still head against my will to the wall.

Without a floor to crumble to, my fight will be non-existent so I let the fire consume me and jam my mouth shut locking my jaw in place. They won't get the pleasure of hearing my pain, I forbade it.

With the fire help, more daggers are gnashing at me. Breaking my bones and twisting them, putting them back to-
gether to do it again. The world around me is lost, the only thing my eyes can see is every inch of my brain played out like a beautiful tune with a haunting tale.

I lost track of time as the fire and knives got sharper, they got acute to where it hurt the most and made it grew even stronger. My heart is beating in a pained symphony to the damage being done in my body.

With my teeth scraping against each other I make no move to scream or whimper. Just the occasional hiss coming through my grinding teeth. I can feel my close becoming tighter, I don't really know why.

The sudden rush of cool air against my stomach makes me shiver in pleasure. Giving me the strength I needed, I fight harder with the uphill battle. I'll be strong for everyone I know, everyone I need, its the right thing to do.

The fire dissipated from my fingertips, the tips of my toes, the peak of my head. It came rolling in like white water rapids on a rampage. When it finally reached my chest, it all became clear where it was headed.

I swung my head back, effectively knocking myself out. My black oblivion was nothing short of fantastic, it was like a veil of my whole life put into a dream taking the outside world away from me. I was disconnected from my body.

Finally away from pain, I let myself float through the room, collecting overbearing amounts of information from every living thing. I could now speak Italian, French, American, and many more fluently.

Coming back to my body, I sucked in a large gust of air to satisfy my lungs. Scanning the dark room, my gaze landed on a shocked looking Aro. His face showed awe, as well as many others. I wondered why, but didn't ask.

Instead I practiced the moves I'd learned from the guard's heads. I flipped my legs back, landing on the wall and bringing my arms together effectively making the guards collide and let go of my arms.

I sprinted across the wall, kicking the door open and flipped to the ground running as fast as my legs could carry me out the front door. It was pitch black outside when I left Volterra, I left it all behind without a second glance or thought about it.

With my throat burning, I ran into the nearest forest and tuned out my mind of escape. I let my ears, eyes and nose take over. I ran straight through to an appetizing scent I knew to be bear. Venom pooled in my mouth, coating my tongue in its tangyness.

When I reached my destination, I saw the large bear searching for food. I shimmied up a tree and crouched on a branch watching my prey. My muscles were coiled and ready to spring at any moment.

Finally it let its guard down and turned its back to me, I took that opportunity and sprang. I latched my small marble fingers to its neck and snapped it to the side, the loud 'CRACK' and the now limp body gave me over to my senses.

I made a small incision with my teeth and drank every last drop. The warm liquid coated my throat making me hiss in pleasure. When I was done, I buried the carcass and scanned my body of any blood.

Pleased that I didn't find any, I licked my lips and tracked down the nearest airport. I scanned through all of the gifts of the guards I'd gained and made myself invisible. Picking up my hand to make sure, I quickly ran into the already loading plane.

I held my breath, I didn't want to drink human blood. I didn't even know where the plane was going, but I needed to get out of Italy. If I know how Aro works, he'll want me and I refuse to go back there until he forgets I even exist.

As soon as we landed, I knew we were in Tokyo. Its flashy lights and high tech streets and buildings. I smiled, ready to begin a new life here. I remained invisible streaking through the city to find what I would need to live here.
