Sob. This is the last chapter of Revelation, after this, it is officially over. I've really enjoyed your reviews. If you really like my writing, you should check out Solstice, or my two one-shots-The final showdown and Belward Fluff.
Anyway, thanks so much for reading!

Edward's POV
"Well, I guess that's that, then." Emmett's voice actually made me jump internally, and made Bella stir on the floor.
I shook my head, sighing hotly, then pinched the bridge of my nose.
Edward.
Rosalie's thoughts came to me.
Emmett's right. We need to get home. Bella too, she added hastily.
And with no choice but to succumb to her suggestions, I walked across the room, picked Bella up, and walked slowly to the car.
Carlisle and Esme burst out of the door the second we drove up. Carlisle's eyes were wild, Esme's frightened. It was a way we had never seem them. Afraid. Uncertain. Cold. My gaze caught Carlisle's his eyes searched mine. Unable to bear the pressure, I walked through the door and laid Bella down on the couch in my room. Her eyes were closed, a peaceful face in a drastic time. I pulled my hand out from under her head, running it gently down her face. She was beautiful…even when her dreams were in the depths of despair. Even in the hardest times.
For the first time in my life, I cried.
I fell down over her body, sobbing. Not a drop of water rolled down my face, but anyone who saw me would know that I was crying.
"Edward?" Hesitance, Confusion.
Esme walked over to me, kneeled down beside me. She said nothing else, but laid her hand tenderly on my back. If I weren't as old as I was, I would've thrown myself into her arms, sobbing for all I was worth. We looked like we were at a funeral, a still body lying on the couch, two people crying over her.
Life, meaningless. If it weren't for the fact that Bella's heartbeat was still strong, I would be on a plane to Volterra right now. Who knew what would happen next? Fame? Fortune? I wanted none of that.
Murder, like back in Carlisle's day?
What about Bella? Would she be killed by association? I couldn't endanger her. Her life was more precious than my own, by a mile, by then thousand miles.
Edward
Esme's voice reached my mine. I chose to ignore it, letting out a small shudder from the sobbing that had recently ended. And, partially, from the internal knowledge of what she was going to say.
Edward
Esme tried again.
Edward
Her voice was more stern this time, demanding the attention that I finally decided she deserved. Her hand felt like a weight as I heard her next thought.
We have to leave

There it is, the end. You probably hate me for ending it like that, because it's still kind of a cliffhanger….Rergarless, I really hope you've enjoyed Revelation, and I thank you soo much for reading!
I'm debating whether or not I should write another story, probably a one-shot, based on what Mike did when the Cullens left. I'm not really sure. Why don't you tell me what things you want to know that I didn't explain, and I might write a collection based upon that.
Watch in the next couple of days for the epilogue, that shows a bit more of what happened. But, mostly, I leave that to you. Never mind, you'll get it when you read it.
Review?
