This is a sequel to Twilight for those that have read it. I will try to get a hold of Twilight and post it too but here's the Preface . Yep... it's true I'm letting you all read the book but I was also hoping that if you all like the book that you will buy the book and support the author just like everyone else that is scanlating and translating the manga.

PREFACE
I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough. My legs seemed to move slower and slower as I fought my way through the callous crowd, but the hands on the huge clock tower didn't slow. With relentless, uncaring force, they turn inexorably towards the end --- the end of everything.
But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life; I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today.
Alice had said there was a good chance we would both die here. Perhaps the outcome would be different if she weren't trapped by the brilliant sunlight; only I was free to run across this bright, crowded square.
and I couldn't run fast enough.
So it didn't matter to me that we were surrounded by our extraordinarily dangerous enemies. As the clock began to toll out the hour, vibrating under the soles of my sluggish feet, I knew I was too late --- and I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited my desire to live.
The clock rolled again, and the sun beat down from the exact center point of the sky.
