Prologue

La Push/Forks Washington 1924

What do I do? She paces. This can't be real...I can't be real. Humans, vampires, werewolves...me. What am I? She hears them and stumbles as she begins to run through the darkness. Her heart is pounding and she can feel the intense heat surrounding her.

"Isabelle stop! Please, we can help you."

Not on your life! She runs faster, striving to get away. Just a little further... She felt it when she was clear...when they would no longer come for her.

She had no idea why and wouldn't know for years why they suddenly stopped coming for her just as she crossed the creek bed.
