A/N: Just giving you something to look forward to. I'm attempting to write a vamp/human story. UGHH! I know, right. Anyway..here is an excerpt from the first chapter. It's a rough draft.. You can review and leave comments. If you have me on author alert...you will get the full chapter when I delete this and repost.

Summary: Facing certain death for defending Bella's honor, Jasper finds himself depending on Bella making the ultimate sacrifice. Her complete surrender to the dark and dangerous Edward but is the price too high? Is her love for Jasper strong enough to carry her through the darkness or will she succumb to Edwards persuasive calling?

Still hazed with sleep, my eyes opened and greeted the dawn with assured reluctance. The piercing, feminine screams carried throughout the dreary halls last evening, keeping me awake as he devoured another life. Curious as to the absence of typical morning cacophony, I scurried out of bed, the cool bite of the rustic hardwood floor nipped at the soles of my feet. My insides trembled with hope that he would be taking his breakfast outside this morning. Easing the threadbare curtains aside with timid fingers, my breath hitched and my heart fought its way out of my chest.

Enveloped in the shade of a nearby oak tree, proud and confident Master Cullen sat in the twisted iron chair. His violet eyes captured my gaze as he peered over the gold rim of his spectacles. Ruby red lips, a stark contrast to his ashen colored skin. The smile he gave was anything but friendly, feral, and savage to say the least. Even from a distance, he had the power to control, and I fought with my willpower to resist him. Master Cullen had made it no secret his affections for me. Since the day of my arrival, he apprised me daily on his intentions.

You will be mine, Isabella. In time. I am a patient man.

The sensual words carried on a chilled whisper, skimming over my skin like a lover's caress while he nuzzled his face at my neck.

But I do not love him. Nor will I ever return his ardor.
