Some say that you flashback on your life before you die. I would say that was true.I felt myself slowly giving in to the darkness and I thought of Lissa. My bondmate, my best friend and sister. My favorite memory of when we first met. When we were in kindergarten and our teacher asked us to spell out names, asking children to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was just child cruelty. So I chucked my book at her called her a fascist bastard. We were inseparable ever since. The time when I first met Dimitri, how he came to escort us back to St Vladmirs academy and how we fell in love, the night in the cabin when we gave in our feelings for each other, in Russia when I met the Belikovs and Abe. I thought of Mason and Eddie, my two partners in crime, how I swore to protect Eddie when Mason died. Christian, whom I thought of as a brother, who had never judged me. Adrian, one of the only people that I could tell everything too, my shoulder to cry on. My mother, how she had raised me for four years as a child, how she had told me she loved me. Abe, who had helped me throughout Russia and supported me. These people were apart of my heart no matter what. Footsteps broke my trance and I found myself staring into a pair of golden eyes.

- Rose p.o.v-

"Love fades, mine has."

Dimitri's words echoed through my head as I ran out of the church. My face streaming with tears. I fumbled with my cars keys with one instinct running strong through me. Leave. I ran to the car passing a blur of faces. Not caring where I went, I drove. I didn't bother with possessions, they were nothing to me. I cleaned out my room of some clothes before i left though, and packed as I would need them. I stopped the car just outside of court and started to cry, the tears being the only comfort I had. I pulled out my cell phone and called Abe.

"Kiz, what's up?" My fathers voice came through the phone.

"I need your help." I managed to get out.

"Meet me outside the mall." I hung up, and managed to drive safely to the mall. I got out of the car and approached my father. "Oh Kizim, I would literally kill Belikov for doing this. What do you need?" he was so kind about it all, I was close to tears again.

"I need money, I'm leaving court. I don't know where I'm going but I really need to escape." I told him. He handed me a credit card.

"Here Kiz, makes up for 18 years doesn't it?" I hugged him.

"Thank you." I whispered. He nodded and hugged me goodbye and with a wave he was gone. I stared down at the credit card. This was it. I took a deep breath and headed for the airport.

When I reached the Moroi airport I randomly scanned the upcoming flights.

Seattle

Forks

Hawaii

St Petersburg

Hollywood

Portland

I chose Forks, the weather was always rainy and the others would never think of finding me there. As I booked my ticket the flight attendant was confused about my backpack being my only luggage but shrugged it off. I spent my journey with Lissa as this was the last time I would probably see her. As I was pulled into her head I saw that she hadn't noticed I was gone.

"I don't know what I'm going to do, Christian." Lissa was at the cafe with Christian discussing how Dimitri's position. They had not yet confirmed his status of a Dhampir and Lissa was concerned whether the people would ever accept him.

"Rose would know." Christian soothed rubbing her back.

"Your right, we should see her. When was the last you saw her?" Lissa asked.

"Two days ago, where is she now?"

"haven't seen her for two days either, hmmm." Lissa's face suddenly paled as she realized that it had been two days since anyone had seen me. Forgetting Christian she ran to the guardian building into my room, and barged in. "Rose?" she called a little breathlessly. She opened the door, revealing my clean room. Things still in place yet messy as if in a struggle. Christian was behind her.

"Whats happening Liss?" he looked a little worried at her shocked expression. She spun around.

"Where's Dimitri?!" she all but demanded.

"In his room, whats going on." Lissa ran to Dimitri's room beckoning Christian to follow her.

"Dimitri!" she knocked. He opened the door, as usual his appearance took my breath away but his eyes had dark circles and his face was gaunt.

"Yes princess?" he asked politely.

"When was the last time you saw Rose? What did you say to her?" Lissa was desperate now.

"Two days ago at the chapel…" Dimitri caught on, his face a look of horror. "Love fades, mine has." he breathed and they all realized why I had left.

"No, No. NO!" Lissa started crying. "Rose is gone." and with that I pulled out of Lissa's head.

"Welcome to Forks" the flight attendant said as we landed. Yup. It was pretty much what I imagined, green and the sky was covered with clouds. I grabbed my back pack and checked that my stake was there. And headed out. Now what? It was twilight (A.N. no pun intended.) and as I turned to the next block I felt a wave of nausea. Strigoi. I pulled out my stake, there was about ten of them. As they saw me their fangs bared and they lurched toward me. I staked the first two easily but the third was ancient. It was harder with another seven trying to kill me but I fought and fought. Then suddenly a hand grabbed my neck.

"What's a pretty Dhampir doing around here?" he gloated, I struggled.

"Get off me you son of a bitch." I cursed and writhed in his grasp but it was no use. He pulled out a knife and slowly dragged it across my stomach. I screamed in pain and tried to fight. But I was hopeless there was eight of them and one of me. They tortured me and left me to die. I could feel my life slipping away.

Some say that you flashback on your life before you die. I would say that was true.I felt myself slowly giving in to the darkness and I thought of Lissa. My bondmate, my best friend and sister.

Abe, who had helped me throughout Russia and supported me. These people were apart of my heart no matter what. Footsteps broke my trance and I found myself staring into a pair of golden eyes.

"Carlisle." a man around my age said urgently. He had tousled bronze hair, pale skin and strange golden eyes. Maybe this was a dream, he was beautiful. Not that I was interested in that way. My heart was beyond repair after Dimitri ripped it to shreds. Maybe he was an angel, come to take me to heaven. Probably not after what I've done. "Carlisle, there's blood everywhere." he was more urgent now. Another man came in my vision of sight. His blond hair shinning in the moonlight, he had the same pale skin and the same queer golden eyes like butterscotch.

"Edward, we have no choice." Carlisle it must be replied back. "We have to turn her if she is to live." Wait. Turn me?! Was he a strigoi? The golden could be contacts.

"Who are you?" I whispered. The pain in my chest was unbearable.

"I'm Carlisle Cullen. I'm what you would call a vampire." WHAT?! I thought I was a vampire. "Who are you child?"

"I'm R-Rose Hathaway. I'm dhampir." I managed to breathe. The bronze haired boy, Edward I think raised his eyebrows.

"What?" He murmured beside me. "We are not the strigoi. We are a clan. We drink animal blood. We can protect you Rose. In order to turn though we will have to bite you and it's going to hurt. Do you want this life Rose?" he held me hand, but it was a friendly manner rather than romantic. I could only nod the pain was becoming unbearable. He leaned down as if to kiss me and bit my neck. Slowly, my pain faded away. It became worse! My body was on fire! This wasn't how it should end I bit my lip from screaming. Shadows flittered in my line of vision and I succumbed to the darkness.
