EPILOGUE

How could I let it come to this, I loved her, she was my life and now her life is hanging on a stupid decision, all because of me. For the first time ever, I was scared. I've never been so frightened, I was ready to give my life for the one person that meant everything to me, and she didn't even know it.

Aro turned and smiled, then glided over to me.

"Ahhh young Edward, you are aware of the consequences of your actions?" he said in a sickingly almost happy sounding voice.

"yes", I wanted to hang my head in shame, I couldn't look at her, what I'd done, I was defeated.

"then we shall not keeping you waiting any longer" he seemed bemused, even sad but I couldn't read too much into it, this was a life or even two that could end. It was time.
