Breaking Dawn Alternate Ending
"Is there no hope, then?" Carlisle whispered. There was no fear in his voice. Just determination and acceptance.
"There is absolutely hope," I murmured back. It could be true, I told myself. "I only know my own fate."
Edward took my hand. He knew that he was included. When I said my fate, there was no question that I meant the two of us. We were just halves of the whole.
Esme's breathing was ragged behind me. She moved past us, touching our faces as she passed, to stand beside Carlisle to hold his hand.
Suddenly, we were surrounded by murmured goodbyes and I love you's.
"If we live through this," Garrett whispered to Kate, "I'll follow you anywhere, woman."
"Now he tells me," she muttered.
Rosalie and Emmett kissed quickly but passionately.
Tia caressed Benjamin's face. He smiled back cheerfully, catching her hand and holding it against his cheek.
The trio of ancients turned to us, Marcus and Caius still touching Aro's hands. Edward tensed and a snarl gurgled from his throat, I knew this was not good. Edward's grasp on me tightened.
A frown stretched across Aro's face and slowly he lifted his pasty colored hand and flicked it in our direction.
The onslaught was at first terrifying, I nearly lost my shield. But I quickly regained myself and held it tight. All around me individual fights were breaking out. Tanya was throwing aggressive moves at Caius and Kate was attempting to give Jane a taste of her own medicine. To my left Carlisle and Aro danced in a circle, both their faces full of pain although they hadn't touched each other.
From my peripheral vision I saw Jacob tear off into the woods, Renesmee clinging to his back. Felix also saw this and followed them. I was about to yell for someone to help but Emmett knocked him off his feet before he could make an honest chase. Felix jumped to his feet and he and Emmett began to spin in circles.
I didn't want to but I couldn't help looking for Edward. He was dueling with Demetri; they both spiraled around each other. All of a sudden a cry broke both his and my concentration. Emmett had been injured; I caught a glimpse of Felix flinging my brother-in-law's arm with a smile on his face.
Horror stuck through me but I kept my shield tight, I knew that soon Rosalie would dismiss what she was doing and would go to defend her husband. But my attention was soon taken over by a painfully familiar roar. Demetri had taken advantage of Edward's brief loss in concentration and had him pinned to the ground.
I forgot my shield, I forgot Emmett, Rosalie and the rest of my family, I forgot Jacob and Renesmee fleeing. All I thought of was Edward. All my instincts shouted at me as I tore towards my love, tackling the evil wretch who was atop him. But I had no idea what to do next. I faintly heard Edward yell my name. Demetri flipped me over; a throaty laugh escaped his lips as he grasped my head in his hands. I screamed, staring at Edward's god like face for one brief happy moment, before Demetri's quick hands twisted…..
