The Death of an Angel
EPOV:
The cool autumn breeze blew gently across my face as I sat down in our meadow and smiled. I remembered the first time she touched my glittering skin in the sun and how we could lay for hours in silence just looking into each other's eyes. "I'm coming my angel. . ."
"Edward?" Charlie sounded very strained and his thoughts were scattered.
"What's wrong Charlie?" I could feel Alice holding on to my shoulder.
"It's gone Edward, the vision, it's gone…" I could barely hear Alice, she was whispering so softly.
"…if you come now Edward you may get to say good-bye." I missed the first part of the conversation but shut my phone and got into the car I was reading Alice's mind. The Volvo's engine roared to life almost as quickly as it was shut off. It didn't even take us five minutes to get to the hospital.
Carlisle was in the room tending to my precious angel. He hugged me, "Edward she has only moments, and is too weak to make it through the transformation."
I shook my head and sat down in the chair next to her brushing my knuckles against her face. "I love you with all my heart Isabella Marie Swan."
"Edward…promise me…" she could barely talk above a whisper but forced herself, "promise me you will wait?"
She was not making sense and I wanted to make her happy I soothed her, "Of course love."
Anger was coming out of her, "No promise me you won't kill yourself. I've seen the future Edward, our souls will have another chance and we will have an eternity together. Promise me you will wait?"
Tearless dry sobs were coming out of me. I did not want to promise the impossible. Surviving without her would be like living in a dark room and if I agreed I would force myself to keep a promise. I kissed her forehead and said, "I promise love."
And with that she smiled and took her last breath…
Carlisle told me that Alice would not have been able to see the vision because it was Embry who hit her. He was driving Jake's Rabbit when he fell asleep at the wheel. Bella swerved to miss him and struck a tree head on. I nodded my head and realized my life was over and I had an eternity to live.
Seventy years later, I regret my choice of promising. I brush my hand across the cold grave marker and silently sob to myself. I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Edward, we have to go, Esme has registered us for school Monday in North Dakota, it will take at least a day to get there." I didn't look at Alice but nodded once.
"30 more years love and if you aren't with me, I'm coming to you."
