Book 11: A Beginning to an End

Song: All The Right Moves By: One Republic

"Let's paint the picture of the perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you
There'll be the king of hearts and you're the queen of spades
And we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers
I know we got it good, but they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down
Before anybody's knowing our name

Do you think I'm special, do you think I'm nice
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces
Between the noise you hear and the sound you like
Are we just sinking in the ocean of faces
It can't be possible, the rain can fall
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday but its far away
Over the world they said, they got

They got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves and all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
Said everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
Said everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down"

Isabella POV:

"Katherine what? How? Why?"- Damon started.

"That isn't important right now."- Katherine

"You know her then Katerina? And why is Stefan and Elena with you?" –I asked.

"Let's just say I ran into them and we talked and I heard about little Alice here."- Katherine

"Stop!"- Alice

"Oh she speaks! Oh don't tell me you never told them who you really are did you? No of course you didn't."- Katherine

"What- What is she talking about Alice? I can't read any of your minds."- Edward asked.

"She's my dear sister who is the reason many of us are here. You see I was always mother and father's favorite being born first and with a twin brother. However after little Alice was born she always felt like she couldn't measure up. Now we all loved her, but she had a mean streak. She was just incapable of seeing it. The second I make a mistake she was ready to put it front and center. What I didn't learn until later was that she was the one who sealed our whole families fate. Klaus was watching us and she willingly lead him to me. She set everything up so when I had a child out of wedlock my family would shun me and she would be the favorite of the family. She was the one to suggest sending me to Klaus. Now even he knew he could never trust her and was going to kill her, however she was able to find a cold one to turn her first. I only recently learned that Klaus was not the murderer of our family. It was her herself. And now she comes here and tries to rip another family apart. I accept that I'm not perfect and I've caused trouble, but at least I was doing what I have to, to survive. Alice is doing this because she can. She likes the power."- Katherine

"Oh my- How could you?"- Carlisle

"Is she telling the truth Jasper?"- Both Damon and Stefan asked.

"She is. God I can't believe I let her manipulate me for so long." –Jasper said while Bree grabbed his hand. Which was not missed by Alice.

"You how dare you?"- Alice screamed breaking free of Demetri and Heidi and going for Bree. However before anyone could even move Jasper had her pinned to the ground.

"You will not even look at her. Bree is a thousand times the person you will ever be."- Jasper

I looked up to see that Katherine and Edward seemed to be having some sort of silent conversation.

"Care to share with the rest of the class?"- I snapped at them. Edward turned to me.

"Jane and Alec, they are your children? You, You and Damon's children?" –Edward

"Yes. I'm sorry Edward. I did care about you, those feelings were real but it wasn't love. There was always something missing with us. I know it might be hard for you to see now but you will find someone. It's just that that's not me. I'm sorry." –Isabella

"What do you wish we do with Alice?" –Felix Volturi asked, finally speaking after staying silent the whole time.

I looked from Katerina to the Cullen's.

"If she lives she will just do this to someone else."- Katherine

"She's right."- Jasper

"Wait, stop Carlisle, Esme, Edward? You can't be serious? You can't let them do this?"- Alice screamed.

"Carlisle, I think it would be a good idea for you and your family to leave now. You don't want to see this. Go to the boarding house with the rest of them. Let me, Damon, and Anna deal with this." –Isabella

And so with a defeated look on his face he led his family away.

"Wait I want to be here." –Jasper started.

"You only think you do. However you feel right now, you still were in love with her for a century. Go with them. You don't want to see this."- I told him and so he left.

"No, stop! This is crazy! You don't want to do this!"- Alice

"Alice, you've done enough. It's time you got what you deserve."- I told her.

She just got an evil look upon her face.

Her last words were: "You'll regret this."

6 Months Later:

Mystic Falls:

Stefan and Elena sat in the Salvatore boarding house with Anna and Jeremy watching a movie. Everything had quieted down since the disaster that took place months earlier. Just then Edward and Katherine walked in.

"Have a good time?" – Both Elena and Katherine asked each other at the same time.

"Argh, I'm never going to get used to that." –Stefan said.

Edward chuckled softly hugging Katherine.

"Who would of thought that after everything we'd all be here watching a movie and getting along with Katherine?"- Anna

"Or that I would finally feel safe and stop running and having to manipulate just to survive? You know I may of hated Alice over the years, but I thank her for one thing. Without her crazy antics I would of never met Edward."- Katherine

"So up for another movie anyone? I here there's a good movie called Twilight!" –Jeremy

"Sure" –They all replied.

Forks:

Carlisle, Esme, Lexi, Rosalie, Emmett, Bree, and Jasper were all packing up the house getting ready to move away from Forks.

"I'm so happy that after everything we are all a family again, with new additions of course."- Esme said hugging Carlisle.

"I am too."- Carlisle

"Oh family hug, I'm getting in on this!" –Lexi said jumping over the 2nd floor railing and landing next to them.

Rosalie was rolling her eyes at their antics and carrying a box down the stairs with Emmett right behind her.

Just then Bree and Jasper walked in looking a mixture of scared and shocked.

Rosalie took one look at them and asked:

"What happened? What's wrong?"

"Well we are married now you know, and well we we didn't know that a half- human and a vampire could ha-" – Jasper started getting cut off by Bree.

"Oh wow, seriously… We're pregnant." – Bree yelled happily.

If a vampire could faint I think everyone in the room would of when she told them that.

In Italy:

Isabella was walking in a garden in Italy with Damon and their kids. They had decided to stay with the Volturi for the next decade or so. They just wanted their family to be together.

Suddenly Isabella tripped but Damon stopped her fall.

Damon sighed thinking "Even as a vampire she still trips."

"Hey I heard that!"- Isabella

"Wait I said that out loud?"- Yes you did she said hitting his arm and sitting down with him on a bench.

Sighing she asked: "Who would of thought after 600 years we would finally find each other?"

"Oh I don't know I always knew it would happen."- Damon

"Oh yeah right, you didn't even remember until 6 months ago."- Isabella

"That's true but I still loved you in my soul for that last 600 years and I will forever."- Damon

Isabella smiled happily at Damon thinking: Finally things were how they should be.

And so that brings an end to this tale of a love that truly transcends time. Let this survive as a cautionary tale. Never let the one you love slip through your fingers. Live as if there is no tomorrow because you never know what may happen next. But above all else LOVE. Never be afraid to tell them how you feel because Love will always prevail in the end.

Sincerely,

Aphrodite the Goddess of Love
