This is dedicated to shorts for the entire series from alternate endings to other little things. I hope you enjoy them!

This was the original ending for the Blood, I didn't like how it came out but I thought you guys might like to read it. The events in this are not the actual events but it was how it was going to end initially.

Daula Marin Uley was a shapeshifter who was born September 13th 1997 in Forks Washington in the hospital room right next to Isabella Marie Swan. Isabella Marie Swan and Daula Marin Uley had something happen, they had been conceived at the same time and they breathed their first breath of fresh oxygen at the same moment. They became soul sisters. So much happened to these girls. They met people, they met vampires, they met humans, the met shapeshifters, and they made friends.

They hadn't expected any of this. They had been one girl with a voice inside her head. Now they had friends and Dol knew why she existed. The problem was the questions. How did this end? How was it supposed to end?

Was it ever really over though? Sure life moved on but did it ever truly end?

The answer was no. It couldn't end. It was life. Dol had accepted that no matter what direction she went she would never have all the answers to all the questions. It wasn't possible. No matter how much Dol wanted all the questions answered they never would be.

That was what had led her to the next point -this point in this room- the unanswered questions.

Dol was an alpha shifter without the ability to shift. She was basically human. Even after everything they had been through it wasn't over. There was a final thing that needed to be answered.

Three people sat at a table. A broken vampire, a human, and a broken shapeshifter.

"Girls?"

Bella was staring off into space now. She was barely ever there anymore. A child trapped in an adult's body.

"Yeah, mom?" Dol asked her mom who laid a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"I still can't believe it. It still amazes me." Her mother hadn't believed it when she'd seen them.

"We need to talk, Bella." Dol touched her sister's arm which earned a jump and rapid blinking from Bella.

"Um…yeah, sure." She mumbled as her eyes focused on her sister before moving to her aunt. Dol was thrilled that they'd gotten a somewhat mature response from her. A somewhat Bella response.

"We should do something, Bells." Ellen spoke softly, her eyes searching the face of her adoptive daughter.

"What do you want to do, Aunt El?" Bella's voice returned to a childish tone which caused the mom and daughter to glance at each other nervously.

"We could go watch a movie?"

"I'll grab my jacket!" Bella jumped up and ran out of the dining room of their childhood home, going up the stairs.

"Dol, we need to talk about, Bells."

"She'll come back around. She has to." Dol whispered with no conviction in her words.

"She's barely…"

"Mom, please. I don't want to talk about this."

The hard truth was Dol knew what needed to happen. The final crack had grown in Bella's falling sanity until she was barely her anymore. Kachiri had broken her and she was regressing. She wasn't Bella anymore. She was somewhere in her Izzy mindset most of the time. The youngest part of her.

Dol was selfish. She didn't want to let go of her sister. She couldn't let go of her. She wasn't ready for it. She wasn't ready to lose her sister.

The three sat outside the theatre after their movie had ended on a bench, Dol hadn't paid much attention but Bella had been happy watching it, smiling and laughing and grinning. It had been good. Dol knew what she had to do though. She had thought about it during the movie. She had accepted it.

"Dol?" Dol looked up as Mike and Jessica approached them. Jessica had mostly forgiven Dol for everything. It had taken several months but she had done it.

"Mike!" Bella jumped up from her seat and ran up to him, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him with care. Had it been Dol Jessica might have made some snide comment but instead she just smiled sadly. Jessica didn't like the two girls but she wasn't completely heartless either. She knew where Bella was and wouldn't ruin the girl's day.

"Hey, Bella. How're you today?"

"I'm hungry." Bella mumbled and stepped back.

Bella was technically a vampire, that was true. However, in her receding mind Bella had lost her appetite for human blood. She picked at human food when it was given to her but she never ate. She didn't feed and she didn't eat. It was useful in some respects.

Dol was leaning against the wall drinking whisky out of glass. Her mother was sitting on the couch, watching her daughter with slight disapproval. Mike and Jessica were sitting on the couch, Bella was playing in the yard with her stuffed dog named Frog and the four others were talking.

"I need your help, Mike." Dol said suddenly as a thought entered her, she had one final chance.

He looked at her with curiosity before asking her, "what do you need help with?"

The glare Jessica cast her was unsettling. "I haven't been able to establish a mental connection with the Bella we know because her mind is crumbling. Kachiri destroyed her."

"How can I help with something between the two of you?" Jessica's glaring was irritating Dol more and more.

"I need to use our connection to stabilize the bond between myself and Bella. I wouldn't ask if there was anything else and I don't know what being touched by her mind will do to you."

Mike was wary. "I won't go-"

Dol immediately knew what he was asking. It bothered her that he'd assume she'd put him in a situation like that. "You won't go insane. You know I would never put you in danger's way."

"No. Mike, don't." Jessica interrupted. "She could be wrong. If Bella is that far lost God knows what being touched by her mind could do to you." She turned him, making him look at her. "Please, Mike." Dol was annoyed by Jessica as she usually was. She clenched her teeth and took another drink of her drink.

"Jessica, what don't you get about the fact that I can't put him in harm's way?"

"You're kidding me, right? Your very presence put him in harm's way back in Missouri! We were perfectly safe until-"

"We freed that town from the city of fucking vampires running beneath it! Don't you dare say you would've been safer before we showed up!"

"The burning of the city, it would've happened whether you'd been there or not." Jessica shook her head. "Get off your fucking high horse, Dol. You didn't need to be there. It would've happened either way."

Dol didn't respond, she narrowed her eyes at Jessica and –before she realized she'd done it- threw her glass at the wall behind Jessica. Jessica shouted something as Dol stormed up to her room. She hated Jessica, she hated what was happening. She wanted her sister back. She also knew Jessica was right.

So what had brought her to this point? This final point where she stood in the middle of a beautiful clearing digging a hole in the ground.

Embry. She sighed and sat at the edge of the hole, dropping the shovel to her side as the wolves came out of the forest around them. She closed her eyes and put her face in her hands for a few seconds before pulling her face out of them and looking up.

Bella saw the wolves and jumped up, running to Embry and wrapping her arms around his neck while giggling. At least she didn't remember her fear of the wolves. She could be happy around them and they could see her before they did the last thing.

Hey, Bells. The young girl grinned at the wolf as the rest of the pack moved past her, sitting down in front of Dol.

"Dig." Dol didn't bother asking but she also didn't bother using her Alpha Voice. The wolves knew what was being done and why it was being done. It was strangely comforting that she didn't need to tell or ask them to do it.

Would you like to go for a ride, Bella? The girl wasted no time after Embry knelt down allowing her to climb on his back.

"Seth." He moved past the other wolves that had taken to digging the hole she had requested and knelt down in front of Dol. She laid her hand on his shoulder before climbing on his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he stood and joined Embry who was now standing with Bella in a similar position.

"Hey, Izzy." Dol mumbled as she looked at her sister who was laying her head on Embry, facing Dol.

"Let's go!" She grinned at her sister.

Hold on, Bella! Embry's voice filled their heads. Once the girls had tight grips on thei wolves they took off into the trees.

This was it. This was where it ended. The two girls standing in the dark looking down a deep hole under the light of a full moon, hand in hand.

Bella, are you there?

Thank you, Dol. Bella's voice was strong in her mind. It hadn't been easy but once her broken mind had somehow pieced together what was happening she had managed to patch herself together temporarily.

Are you sure? Dol knew the answer, she didn't like it but she knew it.

I'm barely here right now, Dol. This needs to happen. I will keep falling until I'm gone completely. Tears filled Dol's eyes as her sister talked to her.

Dol looked at her sister out of the corner of her eye. It will basically be murder.

No. It's the right thing to do. Bella turned so she was facing her now.

Letting you go insane is the right thing? Dol looked at her sister.

I'm already insane. I've been insane since the day Aro kidnapped me. Dol, I was so happy… She sent images of the fantasy world she had lived in for four years to her sister. Dol had to admit seeing her sister's parents together and happy was an amazing prospect. The happiness in her memories filled Dol with guilt for prolonging this because she didn't want to let her sister go.

Do you think you'll ever wake up?

I don't know, Dol. In my head, time probably will never pass as it does here.

Bella turned her body and wrapped her arms around Dol squeezing her in a tight hug.

Dol felt herself bruising but was comforted by it. She hugged her sister back and cried softly. They stood there for what felt like years before Dol made her decision.

She hadn't been able to change forms since the SH injection. This was different though. She wasn't taking her Spectral form, she was merging herself with her sister's mind. She squeezed Bella's hand and felt herself combining with her sister, the world was colorless again but it hardly mattered. She was in Bella's mind again. It was different this time.

The two girls met face to face in a place that dark and terrifying; Bella's mind. She could see the battle scars. There were walls that looked like they had been hit with high end explosives, Bella's bad memories played themselves out, younger versions of her ran through it screaming. Every part was damaged beyond repair except the very back. There was one place in the very back with a solid wall.

Embry, you know what I want.

I'll miss you both.

The two girls took each other's hands in her mind.

"Dol, so much has happened to us. I wish it hadn't come to this."

"It will be happier there, right?"

"We'll have sunshine and happiness." The sun had been the reason for their fight; the reason to be free. It was ironic that they were here now, in Bella's head. Somehow it was better though. Even if she was leaving Mike behind Jessica had been right. He was safer with her away. It also came down to the fact that if he was ever in complete danger she would be woken and brought forward to save him.

The two girls were content with where they were going though. They turned to face the wall that held Bella's fictional world, the world where things were good.

Dol and Bella. A rare occurrence. This was the last place any of them expected to end up. Bella dropped down into the hole that had been dug and curled up in it, closing her eyes as the wolves began pushing dirt over them.

At the bottom of a hole in the real world in the back of Bella's mind in front of a wall they would live life behind. This was where they ended. The two sisters took each other's hands and stepped into it, emerging into the new reality with more friends and family than before and the sun. They had the sunshine they had wanted. They got what they wanted, even if it wasn't how they'd expected it to happen. They got their sun and they didn't have to remember what had happened to them. In the end. Things were good for them.
