The sea below her was far enough away to look black and menacing. Bella didn't know what those murky waters held but it really wasn't what she was looking for, there was no way he could have been in there.

She breathed deeply, soaking in the atmosphere of the moment; her heart was racing as if it were whole instead of broken into a million tiny peice, Bella almost felt whole. As she pulled her arms high above her head she pushed the 'almost' to the back of her mind. Her eyelids fluttered shut as the wind continues to gain strength and whip at her hair and clothes, there was a split second in which she felt like she could fly.

Slowly, she tip toed to the edge of the rock, where it was cleanly cut and air was the only thing that followed. Her arms fell to her sides as the anticipation became nervous, it was a massive drop and she herself knew that her own fragile body had a small chance of survival.

Another deep breath.

Take it slowly.

Lift the left foot.

It was her brain that followed her heart this time, her brain let common sense and instinct subside in the place of all the pain and hurt that her heart had taken, her heart was owed this, this last wish.

Bella's left ankle hovered in the mid-air just off the cliff, no one could see her, so there was no one to stop her. After all the one person that could fix all this was distracted by new things. Her mind flashed back to the first day at Forks; "you're the shiney new toy" Jessica had said. The shiney new toy that everyone got bored with eventually.

Another deep breath.

It was time to do this, it was too hard on Jake and Charlie, too watch her slowly disappear, to worry whenever she was out of the room and watch her whenever when she could bear to handle , she'd seen the posters in the record stores, "It's better to burn out than fade away"

Another deep breath.

Bang!

Bella crashed down onto the ground, instinctively her hands went to her face and she rolled onto her stomach. Her brain could still not calculate what had happened and how she got there, but then again, she was used to falling over.

There was a ringing in her ears that was so loud that she only began to hear the velvet voice half way through his rant,

"-being ridiculous, I didn't give you a chance at normality so th-"

Bang!

There was a weight on top of her back, crushing her chest into the mud, it felt like her ribs were about to snap even though her lungs were completely empty.A few minutes later what she pressumed to be a rock rolled off of her. Air flooded into her deprived body and she coughed in shock, her body started to shake as she tried to sit up. She was still in danger but no matter how sure Bella was that Victoria was about to kill her, there was simply no adrenalin rush that could get her vertical just now. As she collapsed back onto the ground Bella's final thoughts wandered to Edward and why even his voice had abandoned her in the this time of need.

She continued coughing uncontrolably, like her body was rejecting the air that her lungs force fed it, with this Bella realised that no good was going to come of her continuing to fight, even her imagination had left her alone on this desolate rock, with what would probably be her arch-enemy standing over her crippled and weak body.

As this feeling set in and Bella accepted her fate and used her final energy to roll onto her back and splutter,

"Victoria, do what you like now, but I'm too broken to beg" A silence followed her defiant final words and Bella took it that Victoria had been shocked at her willingness to give in.

The shaded figure stood above Bella, blocking the tiny amount of light coming from the sky, which was now overcast with rolling grey clouds.

After a few minutes, Bella could feel herself relax, though her brain still knew that she was in fatal danger, the end of her life nearing. She tried to sit up, shaking her head as she tried to wake up, still holding her arms above her in defense of the venomous predator.

More time passed, neither of them spoke or moved. It wasn't the uneasy silence that you would think would be unavoidable with this kind of situation, (y'know when the person you've been running from for a year is about to kill you). There was just something about the atmosphere that comforted Bella, maybe it was because the end was near and the struggle was over, maybe it was because she knew there were worth ways to die, she may even have held on to the faint glimmer of hope that she could be changed, even after all this time. For a reason that was only known to her, Bella looked up, then stood up, and willingly accepted her fate.

There was indeed a venomous predator in front of her, one that had tried to kill her previously, one that she knew would love to drain her at this very moment.
Bella, being the danger magnet that she was, took a step toward it and whispered knowing that he would still hear..

"Jasper."

And then she broke out in tears, and cried, letting the soothing tears flood over her cheeks and face as if they were stroking it. Though they weren't tears of joy, they still signalled a deep relief.

For a second he simply watched her, internal conflicting mounting as whether he could handle comforting her or not, all alone, here, on the desolate beach..
Then there was a crash from the woods, and a dramatic howl. Bella choked on her words and they caught in her throat, Jasper took one last look at her,
"Tonight. ", and with that he backflipped off of the cliff face and into the water below, she only caught the ripple of white as he streaked into the deep waters.
