Esme's POV

The buzzards flew above my head, as if anticipating what was to come.

As i stood on the brink, I thought back to my son william who i had known for such a short time. His face swirled around my memory before fading into blackness. In its place was the face i had seen so many times before in my dreams.

The angelic face of Dr. Carlisle Cullen floated in my mind. His eyes a curious topaz, glittering whenever he saw me. His hair blond and glossy. His voice like silk.

Though its impossible to hope for his return, for i hadn't seen him in over ten years and im sure he would be married by now. The wind blew through my hair, as if it where daring me to do it already and end my miserable life once and for all.

It seemed inevitable now, as if my entire life was lived only to lead me to this point.

There is nothing left for me anymore.

I took a small step forward and took a deep breath.

It was now or never.

I took another small step teetering on the edge. I'll see you again soon, my william.

I felt a tear run cheek and fall to the ground.

I took a deep, ragged breath and stepped into the abyss.

Death welcomed me, with open arms.
