Preface
Id never given much thought to how I would die — though Id had reason enough in
the last few months — but even if I had, I would not have imagined it 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,

I knew that if Id never gone to Forks, I wouldnt be facing death now. But, terrified as I
was, I couldnt bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far
beyond any of your expectations, its not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

than any other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its
gloomy, omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few
months old. It was in this town that Id been compelled to spend a month every summer
until I was fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three
summers, my dad, Charlie, vacationed with me in California for two weeks instead.
It was to Forks that I now exiled myself— an action that I took with great horror. I
detested Forks.
I loved Phoenix. I loved the sun and the blistering heat. I loved the vigorous, sprawling
city.
Bella, my mom said to me — the last of a thousand times — before I got on the
plane. You dont have to do this.
My mom looks like me, except
