Not Meyer.

Marie cowered away from me, obviously terrified. I stopped. There was no way I was going to convince her I wasn't a monster and even if I did, I'd be lying.

So I turned, walked over to my old coven, and did something I'd never done before. I got on one knee and bowed before them.

"Colin," Mira said, "What are you doing?"

"I would like to thank you," I said, "and ask your forgiveness for leaving." They all looked shocked... a bit too shocked.

"I know I've been a terrible friend. I left without warning because I had a plan to destroy the Volturi, that I did not complete, and I didn't want you caught up in the mess it would have gotten me in."

Their eyes widened. They weren't looking at me.

"What-" warm arms encircled my waist. My eyes grew large with shock as I looked down at the little girl hanging onto me, tears streaming down her face.

Words failed me.

"Colin." was all she said, but it struck a chord in me I didn't know I had. My three friends shrunk into the shadows.

I turned and sat on the ground. Marie jumped into my lap and sobbed into my chest. I was suddenly sad, looking at her. I felt a tear stream down my face.

Shocked, I stopped it with my finger and looked at it.

It was a tear. A real, salty tear. My breathing suddenly quickened. I found myself in need of air.

Liam rushed out and grabbed Marie from my arms. I was too shocked to react.

A bolt of lightning ice hit my body. Filling me with pain unknown to me. I fell over, on my side. From somewhere far away, I heard Marie scream my name.

Another chill swept over me, I could suddenly feel the frigid ground beneath my back. A thousand needles pierced my body. This pain was too much.

I screamed in agony, then everything went black.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!! What happened to Colin?
