PROLOGUE

'Nice view, hm?' I heard a voice coming from behind me; it's strange, I haven't heard their footsteps. I turned around, immediately in a defensive crouch, ready to defend myself from the unknown enemy. Whoever it was, I was all alone – I prepared myself for the worst during the sixteenth of a second, when I raised my eyes and looked at the one who spoke.

'You're a fierce one, aren't you' the person spoke again. 'Just like I saw you in their memories…'

My eyes slowly embraced the figure in front of me; it felt like an hour, but it couldn't have been more than half a second. I immediately relaxed, even though the person in front of me was still a stranger to me. I looked at the woman, slowly registering every detail – perfect body, long, black hair reaching below the waist, olive, glimmering skin, now dimmed by the paleness of our kind. I raised my eyes and finally reached her face – her eyes – our eyes met, giving me a sensation I've never felt before. Suddenly, everything before this moment became the past, even That Person; and the future has already been planned out. Cliché, some might say, but that's how I felt when our eyes met for the first time.

The planets of my universe shifted around, and I became the lonely moon, orbiting around this stranger, whom I've never met before, but I'd die for, from today on.

Her lips – her perfect lips – opened slightly; she smiled. I stood there, speechless, defenseless – if she came here to kill me, I'd gladly die from her hands.

'I've been searching for you for so long…' she said, taking a step towards me and my exposed heart, my feelings, my future.
