I had been a fool to come all the way out here. The grizzly's are always more irritable this time of year. I could feel the claws ripping though my clothes and shredding my skin. The bear was going to play with me before he let me die.
I had felt pain before, but nothing like this. I wanted to scream, to shout to the heavens and beg whatever God my be listening to release me from this pain and this world. Tears streamed down my face and I made no sound. My face turned into a grimace.
In a move my closed eyes didn't see, the bear was gone. I heard a fight near me. I simply assumed another bear had started a fight for me as dinner. Then I opened my eyes.
At Last
My Love Has Come Along
My Lonely Days Over
And Life Is Like A Song
An angel with golden locks and honey eyes hovered over me. The angel scooped me up into her arms and started running. I thought angels were supposed to fly to heaven. I couldn't tell you how long we ran for, for time had ceased to have meaning in my bubble of pain. I guess heaven is farther away than I thought.
Ohh Yeah,
At Last
The Skies Above Are Blue
My Heart Was Wrapped Up In Clover
The Night I Looked At You
The pain ripped through my body. I felt my blood leaving my body, one heart beat at a time. Maybe this was hell. Maybe all my sins were catching up to me. I'd had one to many drunken nights. One to many one night stands. One to many one to many's. But you know something? Hell isn't so bad if you get to keep an angel with you…
I tried to fight the darkness, if only to keep my eyes open. I wanted so bad to keep the angel in my vision, to ask her what her name is.
"Wha…you…name?" I asked the angel, struggling with each word. A fully articulated sentence was far beyond my current capabilities.
"Rosalie. My name is Rosalie Lynn Hale," the angel, my angel, said. Her voice was like a thousand bells ringing. She smiled down at me, sorrow filling her eyes.
"Rose…my…angel," I choked out.
I Found A Dream
That I Could Speak To
A Dream That I
Can Call My Own
I Found A Thrill
To Press My Cheek To
A Thrill That I Have Never Known
Ohh Yeah
I passed out at some point, the black abyss finally claiming me.
When I awoke it was to an all consuming fire burning through my veins. I screamed. This surly must be hell and yet when I pried my eyes open I saw God standing over me with my angel, my Rosalie. He was talking but I could not stops screaming long enough to hear nor care.
When the pain finally stopped, I noticed I was no longer breathing nor was my heart beating. I panicked a little. My heart not beating told me I couldn't be alive and yet this couldn't be hell. Wasn't hell meant to be more…painful? The only pain I felt now was an ache in the back of my throat. A fiery burning ache.
Then I opened my eyes and it was like I had never seen before. What I saw made my still heart melt. It was my angel, my Rosalie.
You Smile
You Smile
Ohh And Then The Spell Was Cast
And Here We Are In Heaven
For You Are Mine At Last
"What is your name?" God asked me.
"Emmett McCarty. Am I dead? Are you God?" I asked, my voice surprising me. It sounded…musical.
"No I'm not God. Technically you are dead for your heart no longer beats but you are still living. You are a vampire," Carlisle said quietly.
"Cool," I said laughing. "I don't care what I am as long as I get to stay with her." I nodded my head towards Rosalie.
"Forever," she said and nothing else in the world mattered.
