THE FINAL CHAPTER OF FOREVER
I hummed to myself whilst prancing around polishing the glass vases. This was pretty much as close as we could get to a happily ever after – considering our big dose of misfortune that was hanging like a dark constant cloud over our heads.
I sighed gently turning my head to stare out into the incandescent twilight. With the soft murmurs of my family in the background and the lulling sound of Edward playing the piano it felt tranquil. It only took a blink of an eye to shatter everything completely.
The glass fell from my fingertips and smashed into a million pieces at my feet. I stood rigid watching the premonition pan out.
"Alice?" a gentle familiar voice asked, fully aware of the emotional grief that was drilling a hole inside my head.
***
Alice was burning. She was terrified – I couldn't only see it in her eyes but I could feel it. I wanted to comfort her but there was nothing I could say, nothing I could do to make it better. She had witnessed the seams of our closely knitted family being torn apart and scattered forever.
There are times like this that I wish I could dream, dream that I wasn't a stage hand to my family's private emotions. Times like this that I could pretend we weren't drawing closer to the prominent final moments of eternity.
***
My eyes drew to the face of the angel who was cradled in her mother's arms sound asleep, her tight curls hanging limply around her face. Renesmee. Her name was like sunlight falling on the sea. Right on queue sunlight streamed through the windows and settled on her skin making her face glow vividly. It was eerie watching how the light played on the complexion of the other eight faces in the room.
All I could think was not her. I had dreamt of this moment forever – it was plausible that as soon as I had found her I would loose her. I couldn't imagine a world where she didn't exist – she had become the most consequential person in my whole existence. I would do anything and everything to protect her, my own life meant little to me now.
***
It was snowing softly from the dull grey sky. Despite the weather I wasn't cold – immortality had blessed me with a resistance to certain temperatures. A shaft of light fell from a break in the clouds and danced around my family's faces replacing their stone cold skin with glitter, diamonds and rainbows. There was one face that stood out in particular – one face that didn't apply to this condition. Jacob. He gave me a slight smile although his eyes looked empty, lost.
Although this dream was serene there was no denying the grave atmosphere,
especially with the parallel expressions on my family's faces. Or maybe it was because we were balancing precariously on the edge of impending doom – on the final chapter of forever.

This was originally written for the Twilight Convetion but thought I'd share it with you!
I wanted to play around with the perspectives of some of the characters when Alice has a premonition that the Volturi are coming seeing as you only get Bella's perspective in the book so enjoy looking into their minds!
I used several perspectives in this and tried my best to tell you whose eyes you were seeing through without writing their names (although there were a few instances where I did have to write them!
Here are the perspectives:
1ST POV: ALICE
2ND POV: JASPER
3RD POV: JACOB
4TH POV: NESSIE
DISCLAIMER - I don't own twilight...or jacob either :(
