Backstory

Stonington, Ct is a fairly small town, quaint looking place. It has been around for quite some time, in one form or another. It's a place you might picturing yourself going if you wanted to visit a nice bed and breakfast and see the foliage change. Of course, not too many outsiders visit. Something stopping them, keeping them away, without them even knowing it.

A majority of the residents in Stonington are every day, ordinary people. But Stonington is home to a collection of families, who were drawn there a very long time ago. Their origins, known to only direct decedents, made them who they are today; what they evolve into with every passing generation. But their ways are ones that need to be kept hidden from the outside world. They have to protect themselves and carry the burden between the light and dark.

The town had been threatened before: During the American Revolution and in the War of 1812. The British threatened to destroy it. But they had no idea what they were truly up against. There were forces there –those people drawn to this land- The British never stood a chance.

In history class you might read about the note that said: "We shall defend the place to the last extremity; should it be destroyed, we shall perish in its ruins."

It is their duty to protect it, because it is a part of them…and that's what they have been doing for hundreds of years, growing stronger over time, but fewer.

A prophecy was spoken of dark times ahead. It stated, the darkness was coming soon. The true fight was just beginning, though it seemed to have been written in the stars hundreds, if not thousands of years ago.

The question no one seemed to know was, how would this story end…

Note: I read a story with a similar plot line that I really liked, but didn't want to write something too similar, so I debated it. Recently I've seen someone else do a plot line along the same lines. So I figure, why not, right. I've had this idea for a while but totally admit to using story ideas from other stories, so I hope people don't get mad. I promise, aside from some plot ideas, this story is my own.

I am reworking the start because I tried to write in third person but failed . It will be in Bella's view
