Wow, long time no update. Sorry :/ I didn't like my sequel idea, so I changed it. Hope this doesn't mess with you guys' heads too much. Anyways, go back and read the last chapter to freshen up your memory, then read this epilogue. Tell me if you like it!

Epilogue

I struggled to get my eyes open. My Bella. I wanted to see her. I had to see her.

"Isabella?" I groaned at last. My eyes opened, and there she was. My beautiful girl. My love. "You're here." It was a ridiculous statement, I knew, but I could think of no brilliant words. All I had been hoping for, praying for, dreaming of, had come to me. I could barely get her name and those two silly words out.

"Yes, Edward. Wake up. Wake up for me." She smiled that dazzling smile of hers and brushed the hair from my eyes. I took that hand in mine and slowly sat up, expecting to feel the soreness, the weakness from before. But I didn't. I felt fine. Better than fine. I felt complete.

"Where have you been, love?" I asked her softly. I knew she said she had made a deal, but if so, how was she here now?

"You're talking about Vie?" She checked and I nodded. She sighed and looked down. "I apologize for her. She's someone who's been pestering me since I died. Trying to get me to come to…their side."

"Their side?" I raised an eyebrow and she chuckled darkly.

"I believe you would call her one of the devil's minions? She tricked you, Edward, and I'm so sorry. She can make herself look however she wants, and I think they planned on getting you to join them by using me…well, Vie. I'm so sorry." Her voice was so heartbroken it nearly killed me, and I immediately pulled her closer to me.

"You're here now. That's what matters. How is that, in any case…?" I had to know. Would she be here for only a fleeting second, or was she here to stay? The idea of her leaving me…it was enough to destroy me.

"Well, actually, Edward…,"

The Cullens found Edward later that evening when Alice saw his future suddenly appear then abruptly disappear again. They raced up the stairs and saw him lying on his bedroom floor, smiling. Appearing completely at peace, with his arms crossed across his chest. He hadn't gone to Volterra, no. But it was obvious he was dead. His family all still felt the pain of loss, of losing their brother, their son. But something Alice said caused them all to relax some, to feel the sadness while still feeling the peace that it appeared Edward felt.

"It's okay." She smiled, kneeling next to her dead brother and taking his hand in her own. She peered back over at her family. Things were different. Emmett was more mature, less carefree. Rosalie was more closed off than before. The always-happy Carlisle and Esme had a little grief under their belts. And Alice and Jasper had had their first real issues. But they were healing, all of them. And slowly, everything would become okay again. Different, but alright.

"It's okay," Alice repeated. "He's with Bella now."

A/N: So if you read the original ending to this story, you'll be very confused reading this. but I deleted those other chapters and things because quite frankly, they sort of got a mind of their own and went way off from where I wanted this story to be. I think my sequel idea was pretty dumb, and although some of you may HATE me for killing Edward, I think this is the ending he and Bella deserved. He was always worried that he didn't have a soul, but I think he did and so he gets his happy ending-an eternity with Bella in heaven. Leave me your thoughts?
