The year is 1918, and the Spanish Influenza is wreaking havoc on the country. Carlisle wanders the halls of the hospital, surrounded by the dying, hearing their tortured coughs echo off the walls. As he enters the room of a mother and son, both deathly ill, the mother turns to him and makes her final wish. Pre-Twilight, Carlisle POV.

We all know what Victoria was- a cold, cruel vampire that met her end in a battle with Edward Cullen to avenge her lover's death. Yet, nobody knew of her past, except for Laurent and James. Oh, and her two siblings.

But they were all dead, the ones who knew what made her become who she was now. So this time, for the first time, Victoria Caroline Pace did not evade Death- no, that was not the reason why she let that child (though in truth, she was only one year older than he) taunt her, to keep her dancing on the edge of her life. No, she had welcomed the darkness with warm arms.

Learn about Victoria's life- not only the one that we've gotten a glimpse at in Twilight and its sagas, but her past that built her to who she was as a vampire. Get to know what she was thinking when she learns Laurent dies, or when she takes her last breath before her life ends for the last time.

A lot can be learned in a history class. How we used to live, the mistakes we made, our triumphs and losses. And that no matter how hard you try, you can't avoid your past, even if you give all you have to avoid it.
