Red Moon

Epilogue

This couldn't be happening. I wouldn't let it happen. They would have to tear me into a billion pieces before I'd stop fighting this. Even when they burned me I'd make my ash choke and blind them. I'd destroy everything about their decidant excistance if they tore my heart away from me.

I growled, hissed, snarled and spat as I watched them come to their decision. The vampires restraining me where having a hard time. It was taking four of them allready.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" I screamed, but the inevitable was coming. I would still fight it.

I watched her stand there infront of the judge, jury and executioner. She didn't move, still as the witnesses around us. Her golden hair shimmered as bright as her skin in the only beam of sunlight that filterred through a small window above, like some higher power was damning her, making sure all the evil in this god forsaken hall forcused on her.

"You know your crime?" Aro said softly.

I wanted to rip his mouth off.

She nodded, still poised. She would show no weakness, no fear.

"Then you know that justice must me done? You do not only risk you loved ones lives, but the exposure of our entire world." he mused, looking past her to me.

"I ended the crime myself, I don't..."

"HA! You think that matters?" Caius interupted. His crimson eyes full of joy and bloodlust. He wouldn't wait much longer. "Foolish girl! You will pay..."

"DO NOT INTERUPT ME " she screamed.

I grinned. Through all my rage I still thought, That's my girl.

"How dare you" Caius hissed bolting out of his seat.

"I don't care what you do to me! I know the law. I know the importance of why you keep it. Do what you want to me. I won't run. But, leave Emmett alone. He didnt know anything as I'm sure Aro has allready seen." She laughed, it was such a beautiful laugh. "But, I do think its about time the law changed hands"

She spat venom at Caius's feet and turned. She was infront of me in less than a second.

I was still struggling against the brutes beside me. She smiled, and pride flashed in her eyes. She knew I'd take half of this room down if I was let loose.

I went still as she raised her hand to my hair. She delicatly played with one of my curls, and moved her hand down my face onto one of my dimples. She smiled again.

"They'd hunt us forever if we tried to run, you know that. Let it end here." She leaned in to my ear and whispered so softly that only I could hear. "Find an end to them, Emmett. Your stronger than all of them put together. You can change it...I love you, allways"

She kissed me. A kiss to end all kisses. Her lips where so soft. She pulled back and began to walk away, holding her gaze on me for as long as she could.

"Rose no...PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!" I roared.

"Dont fight them here. Please baby." She turned to Aro. "Make your verdict"

Caius spoke allmost instantly. "You will burn for your crimes! And the witnesses will be sent forth to spread your story. You will be destroyed"

Jane giggled. I screamed louder. 3 more of their guard had come to help restrain me.

Felix had stepped forward with Demetri beside him. They where beside Rosalie now, holding an arm each.

"Do it!" Caius commanded, his voice filled with poisonous euphoria.

And they tore. It was over in an instant.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

I couldnt struggle anymore. I fell to my knees. I fell silent. All my immortal strength had dissapeared. My eyes didn't move from the fiery mound infront of me. I felt like nothing was holding me here anymore, as I watched my angel burn.
