"Edward!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I dragged myself through the fountain, not caring that probably all of Voltera was staring at me. If it weren't for the sunlight streaming down, Alice would be by my side, just as frantic as I was to get to Edward in time. Instead, she waited in the shadows while I lurched forward, breathlessly, to the clock tower directly in front of me.
In a matter of seconds, I would see him and held him in my arms, again. Alice said there was a good chance we won't make it home alive. I hope she was wrong.
Suddenly, Edward stepped into the sunlight, eyes closed, smiling slightly. His body sparkled lik thousands of embedded diamonds in his skin.
I was too late.
"No--!" A cold hand cut me off, clamping down onto my mouth. Before I could blink, I was in the shadows.
I couldn't move because Alice held me in place. We watched in silent horror as two large figures covered in grey cloaks shoved Edward out of the way, into a dark alley.
There was a muffled ripping sound coming from the alley, then silence. The two figures emerged from the shadows and disappeared. All I saw coming from that same direction was smoke.
Alice held me tighter, her tiny arms trembling. I couldn't see, couldn't breathe, couldn't make sense of what was happening.
"What... happened?" I mouthed. I knew she could hear me. She just shook her head, back and forth, back and forth, her body shaking harder.
My eyelids fluttered and everything disappeared. Darkness. Emptiness.
Love, life, meaning... over. Forever.
