Hi readers! I know this has been a lot, but I have no inspiration for other stories and I always liked these kinds of stories anyway. And for those of you who have written stories like this, I didn't copy anyone so I apologize in advance if you think it seems similar to yours.

Onto the story!

Getting the Book

"Alice, I'm going to leave for a couple of minutes. I'll be back soon," I told Alice. She nodded and continued to browse through a rack of clothes. I quickly exited the store and walked down the block, away from all the fancy clothing stores that Alice loved so much.

Don't take too long, Edward. I need you to carry my bags. Alice thought.

I rolled my eyes knowing that she could carry all her bags, but needed me to carry them to keep up appearances. I turned the corner and kept walking until I found a tiny shop.

A bell tinkled when I opened the door. I looked around and saw shelves packed with books and various trinkets. The old woman behind the counter gave me a warm smile which I returned.

I walked towards the back and ran my fingers over the spines until I found that looked different from the others. I pulled it out and studied the cover. It was black and had a pair of pale hands holding a red apple. It looked more modern the other books but it still had a layer of dust on it.

Twilight. What an interesting name… I thought to myself.

I turned the book around and read what was written:

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him- and I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

A vampire named Edward? I have to buy this book. I thought.

I walked to the register and placed the book on the counter. As I paid I couldn't help but hear the woman's thoughts.

He bought Twilight. He must be the one. It's finally time!

I was puzzled, to say the least. The woman handed me the bag with another smile. "Have fun, dear," she said. I nodded and left the store, jogging at a human pace to where I last saw Alice.

She was waiting in front of the stores with several bags around her. I was surprised considering she only bought half the amount of clothing she usually buys.

"I'll explain in the car," was all she said.

I nodded and quickly loaded her things into the trunk of my Volvo. She didn't speak until we were zooming down the road, back to Forks.

"I had a vision. It was strange, because all I saw was all of us reading some book you just bought. But I can tell that there was something special about it. I'm not sure what it was but it seemed rather important," Alice informed me. "So what is it called?"

"Twilight," I told her. I decided to tell her about the old woman's thoughts, but Alice didn't know what it meant either.

"Maybe you're meant to get the book. She obviously knows that there's something special about it," she said.

We reached the house quickly and I ran towards Carlisle's office while Alice scurried off to put her purchases in her room. I told Carlisle about the book and Alice's vision.

"Well, I suppose we should read it to see what's so special about it," he said.

I walked into the family room where Alice was already sitting on the loveseat with Jasper. She was nearly bouncing with excitement. I sat on the armchair with the book in my hand.

Carlisle and Esme came downstairs and sat on the sofa next to each other. Emmett and Rosalie came downstairs a few seconds later. Rosalie sat next to Esme on the sofa while Emmett sat on the floor in front of her legs.

"What's going on?" Emmett asked.

Carlisle quickly filled Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Esme in while I flipped through the book. My eyes widened when I saw the copyright date. I waited until Carlisle was finished explaining to speak.

"This book is from the future," I said. It was true. The copyright date was one year into the future.

"Are you sure?" Esme asked. I nodded and passed her the book so that she could see for herself. She passed it around until finally it was back in my hands.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Start reading, Edward," Emmett said.

I nodded and read the back of the book out loud since the others hadn't heard it yet. They were all silent when I finished until Esme broke the silence by asking me to start the preface.

I'd never given much thought to how I would die - though I'd had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would not have imagined it to be like this.

I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.

I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

"That's it for the preface," I told them

"That was…interesting to say the least," Esme said.

"That was kind of depressing," Emmett commented. Alice and Jasper nodded in agreement.

"Let's read the first chapter," Rosalie said. I nodded and turned to page where the first chapter started.

A/N - So people, that was the first chapter! What do you think? Is it worth continuing? I'm going to try to make it funnier as they start reading the book.

Please review because I need your opinions!!!
