I really like this epilogue...My favorite ones are the first chapter and this...how ironic xD. So remember Lara, the pregnant lady with the newborn son Nicolai? Okay, good...

Epilogue

They told me I was special. They said that I was the first-born human in this era. But I didn't feel special.

I am ten years old and am currently walking down the beach. It was very hot outside, seeing as it was summer.

"Nicolai!" Mom called about fifty feet behind me. I didn't want to go home 'cause I've never actually seen the sunset before. So I ran and ran, looking back and laughing, then I almost lost my balance.

There was a book mostly covered in sand and when I picked it up, I realized it was actually two books tied on top of each other. It seemed very old and it was pretty wet, but I opened it anyway.

I had to squint my eyes to read the handwriting and what it said was really strange. This must be a joke, right? But the binder and pages didn't seem like a joke to me…

Who is this Isabella Cullen?

"Nicolai!" my mom called again, though her voice was a little more distant now.

I decided to open the other notebook and it had less writing on it, though more understandable. I went back to the other notebook and read the last entry.

Whoever finds this - either five, ten, or fifty years from now, please take care of it. I know this book revealed what we've been trying to keep for thousands of years, but I trust you with it. Keep it and it will be our own secret.

There is so much more I hadn't told you but I'm out of time. There's so much things that you wouldn't be able to understand right now and I simply don't have enough time to explain them. What I can tell you, though, is that there are certain people in this world willing to die just to save you. Appreciate the world that became after I leave this planet because at some point, you might regret what you've done. Be thankful for a new world and unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to see it.

I took the books back to my room that night, carefully cleaning it, and read all the entries. I had so much questions in mind that I wanted her and the man to write more, as impossible as that is.

"Nicolai, why are you still awake? It's past twelve," Mom scolded.

I sat up, discreetly hiding the books under my bed.

"Ma, what happened ten years ago?" I asked.

She frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, what happened ten years ago? How did the ice age go and how did it melt? Mom, I know enough math that you were alive then," I said matter-of-factly.

She laughed timidly and sat on my bed.

"I can't say, Nicolai. It's just a secret you're not ready for. And it's not just you - the whole world's not ready for it."

"But you said I was special," I protested.

She laughed and ruffled my hair. "And you are. But some things are meant to be unknown. Trust me, it's best. Now go to sleep."

I slid the blanket over me and turned, facing the window on the opposite side of the door. I heard my door click shut and let myself wonder.

Lara's POV

At two a.m. I silently opened Nicolai's door. I knew he hid something when I came into his room a couple hours ago.

He was snoring slightly and I couldn't help but smile a little. He was always the heavy sleeper but I had to wait for a couple of hours just in case. I crouched down slightly, adjusting to the dark and grabbed whatever he tossed under his bed. They seemed to be thin books and I quietly left his room.

I studied the covers, scanned through the pages delicately, and when I sat on the dining table, read a jornal entry. I knew that I was reading Benjamin's journal.

I glanced at my son's closed bedroom door in the hall and back to the notebooks. I've only spoken to Bella and Benjamin for a few times, though these books explains so much more than they should have.

I was standing up and walking to the master's bedroom where my husband was sleeping, but stopped shortly. I turned and went inside my son's room instead and placed the books back under his bed. I opened the blinds slightly and above I saw a quarter moon. I looked back at my son, who was sleeping on his stomach.

I'll let you explore for a while, I thought, because someday you'll know why you're so special. Someday.

I would love to thank all my loyal readers who stuck with me through the ending...I know it's been a little overdone and frankly, I'm not so into this story, but at least it's over now right? This is officially the first complete fan fiction I've ever completed so thank you for the encouragement! =) It really means a lot and you don't even know...

Anyway, I'm graduating from 8th grade in three days, you guys! So I'm going to be a freshman next year (ugh)...Anyone there that's read the Mortal Instruments series? I have...NOT. I'm going to, though, this summer and they said the books are awesome.

One more thing, READ The Host by Stephenie Meyer because I guarantee that it is BETTER than Twilight...Then after you read it, read my fan fiction for that cuz I think that one is my best fan fiction so far...Oh, and I actually started on a Harry Potter fan fiction but have no plan on publishing it to this point cuz I'm stuck. (Okay, that is so much more than one thing...)

LAST thing, you guys are really awesome. Thanks for reviewing. Thanks for reading. Thanks for putting up with my crap...xD
