Just a little FYI- I'm kinda new at this, and for right now I'm just tossing around a few ideas for this story… I'm currently working on another one that I'd like to finish first. So if you like what's here so far, I strongly suggest you check out my other story and leave comments; I'd love to hear what y'all think about my style of writing. Remember, I am new at this- so please go easy on me!

Starving for some reviews,

Elien ;)

Prologue

BPOV

It's hard enough that I never knew what it was like to have a real life. I'd been a prisoner for as long as I can remember, and no one had ever told me why… that is, until I found out for myself just recently. Ever since I was very young, I thought that I was just someone else's trophy- I was always told how special I was, but I was also told how important it was that I obey all of my given commands. Back then, I didn't know better… I didn't know that I could have chosen another path- a path that would lead to a place so much better than where I knew I was heading for, for quite some time.

"Everything will be alright Bella… I got you; I won't let them touch you." Edward's voice sounded muffled in my hair as he cradled me protectively in his arms. I couldn't be sure if he knew I could hear him or not. At this point, I had been drifting in and out of consciousness. My body was beaten, exhausted. I knew that if Edward was capable of crying, he'd be in tears by now.

The scene did appear to be hopeless. The two of us were curled up in the corner with Edward trying to serve as a shield around me. I had used all the energy I could muster, and so had Edward. He continued to whisper sweet nothings into my ear that provided little comfort, as I knew we were both about to meet our end. The monster smiled pleasantly at us as he sauntered forward to kill us.
