Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, or Midnight Sun. Stephenie Meyer does!
I used quotes (they're in italics) from the books and the outtake "Emmett and the Bear" (which can be found on SM's website) but changed some a little to make them shorter.
Prologue
I just stared at her, uncomprehending what she had just said. It couldn't be possible. It just couldn't. She waited patiently for my next words, but I found that I couldn't speak. I opened my mouth to speak, only to shut it close.
I blinked disbelievingly several times, my gaze shifting to the ground. It just can't be possible. Me…and Edward, and Jasper, and Rose had…had…died…? No, it can't be. It can't…be.
"You wanted the truth," she said softly. "I'm sorry if you don't like it."
"How do I know if you're even telling the truth?" I asked suspiciously after I had processed what she said.
"Listen to my thoughts. This is the only time I'll allow it," she said and opened up her mind to me.
No. No! It can't be! It can't…be. Jay… Alice. Emmett…Rose. Edward…Bella. Her…Me…
"You've kept me waiting a long time."
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
"Suddenly it felt like I was flying. I opened my eyes…and saw her. I didn't want to miss one second of the angel's face. I kept wondering why we hadn't gotten to heaven yet, thinking it must be farther away; I kept waiting for her to take flight. And then she brought me to God. I thought it was for my judgment. I had a little too much fun in my life so I wasn't surprised by the fires of hell. What surprised me was that the angel didn't leave, how something so beautiful was allowed to stay in hell with me–but I was grateful. Every time God came by to check on me, I was afraid he would take her away. But he never did. So you see, hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you."
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
"Together? As long as I want? Are you sure about that? If you say yes, you can't change your mind," she warned, completely serious. It was laughable.
"Yes," I said simply.
"You do realize that means forever, right?" she asked, still unsure.
"Forever," I mused and then smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
