Chapter 13 - The End

We were now back in Forks, having left Isle Esme quickly after the whole fight incident. Anton had showed up shortly after the Mixim, Mera, and Jelena had been burned, and he had apologized for his covens actions. He wasn't sure how they would react to Nessie being a hybrid and was concerned for them meeting her from the beginning. He did not know they would act so terribly and he apologized for their actions.

"I do hope you still consider me a friend and an ally, Carlisle," Anton said.

"Do not worry, Anton, I am sure you had nothing to do with this," Carlisle responded, shaking his hand and thanking him for his help. After the incident, Anton had helped located Billy and Charlie and had personally transported them home safely. They weren't injured, only confused. They had been told they were being held hostage to get our attention, and we saved them all the gory details.

As for Lavrenti, I owed him an apology. Sure, he has poor social skills, but he was never after Nessie and maybe I overreacted a little bit. After Nessie lecturing me about it, I finally told him I was sorry for the way I acted, and that I hoped we could be friends. I also thanked him for saving Nessies life when I couldn't. I might not have been that sorry for acting like a jealous boyfriend, hey, what does he expect? But I will never be able to fully repay him for saving my imprints life. I could never thank him enough for that.

That was the last we saw of the Russians, we said our goodbyes to those remaining two that didn't turn out to be evil on Isle Esme, and we went our separate ways.

Forks was exactly as we left it. Funny how so much happens in Forks but it never seems to change.

Nessie and I were now lounging on her bed—yes just lounging, nothing else, completely G rated—and things are finally starting to get back to normal. Well, as normal as they can be around here.

"You're stuck in a room, all the doors are locked and there's no windows…" Nessie continued on with the game, explaining the scenario. It's much more fun to pretend we are trapped in these awful situations then to actually be in them.

"Hmm…" I started. "Are you in this room with me?"

"Sure, I guess," she replied.

I smiled at her, "Then I wouldn't want to leave. I would be content to stay in that room for the rest of my life if it meant I could always be with you."

She laughed at me. "That's sweet but—" I cut her off with a kiss.

"Renesmee," I said, breaking away from her, "Marry me?"

Her eyes widened as a shocked expression came onto her face.

"Well, that's really not the response I was hoping for…" I said, trying to laugh off my embarrassment. What? Is she too young? Not ready? Does she just not want to marry me? My mind started filling up with doubts and concerns.

But then she reached her hand up to the side of my face and forced me to look at her as my her thoughts filled my head. Of course I will marry you.
