Disclaimer- I didn't write Twilight/ New Moon, those were written by the wonderful Stephenie Meyer. But I do own the character Sage.

Epilogue- Always and forever

Bella's POV

I laid my hand on Edward's chest, rubbing the skin softly with my fingers. My head was underneath his chest, he ran his hand up and down my spine, sending shivers with every move. " I'm worried Edward." I whispered, holding back a dry sob.

" So am I." He replied wearily. " She has so many enemies, it'll be hard to narrow them down." I sat up straight and pushed my hair out of my face, climbing out of our bed. Rose petals laid scattered on the floor, but only because we pushed them off. Neither one of us had been in the mood to do anything.

" That does not help the situation!" I exclaimed. I began to pace, my thoughts jumbled. Edward stood up and grabbed me, wrapping me in his arms.

" I know sweetie, I'm sorry. But, it doesn't help to worry about it right now, Sage wouldn't want us to worry about her. You know that."

" I can't help it! Edward, are we going to find her?" His face turned grave.

" I hope so Bella, god I hope so." He whispered. I put my hand on his cheek, knowing he was as worried as me if not more. I kissed him softly, then applied more pressure. Soon my back was pressed against the cotton sheets and he was pulling my top over my head.

" I love you." I said.

" I love you, for always-"

" And forever." I sat up and pulled up his shirt while he kissed my neck. Every move he made had me begging for more. Soon we were both tangled in the sheets, naked as the day we were born. Our dance heated; I dug my nails into his back and let out a cry. Ecstasy erupted before me, colors exploded underneath my shut eyes. " Never let me go." I whispered.

" Never." He told me. He kissed my neck forcefully and shook his head. " Never in a million years would I let you go Isabella Cullen."

" Always and forever." I whispered again, and that included our whole family. Along with Sage. We would find her, it was just going to take time. But that was the problem, how much time did we really have?

Sage's POV

I opened my eyes, my hand flew to my head. I had a killer headache. " Damn it all to hell!" I cried out. I was in a small, dirty cell. Only a small window to bring me fresh air, and even that wasn't that fresh. I looked outside and grimaced; I was next to a beach. I wasn't that particularly fond of water that didn't allow me to see the bottom. I turned around and blew a piece of hair out of my face. I walked forward and wrapped my arms around the metal bars, they were stronger than me. " Who would've thunk it?" I thought to myself aloud. " Hey!" I yelled. " Who's got me trapped down here like a caged animal, and how fast to you want to die?" I waited, my foot tapping against the ground. " Hey! Answer me!" Again, I got no answer. I growled in frustration and sat on the cot in the room. " Damn you!" I yelled. I growled again and stood up, throwing the cot across the room in a fit of rage. How could I be stupid enough to get caught?

Suddenly my eyes laid on something in the corner of the room. I bent down and scraped away some dirt, holding the object up in the light. It was a small key, looked to be about 500 years old. I heard a shift on the stairs and quickly dropped the key in my pocket, whirling around. My eyes connected with crimson red ones on the stairs. The figure in the shadows chuckled deeply. I squinted, trying to make out who it was. He came down two more steps, allowing himself to be in light. My hand flew to my mouth in a gasp. " Oh my-" I began, but unable to finish.

" Yes Sage, it's me. Remember? I vowed to come back for you, and here I am! After so long, I've come to avenge all you've done wrong." He said.

" It won't work, I'm stronger than you."

" Are you? Really? Or do you just think that?" I shrunk back a step, but then remembered who I was and straightened up.

" Let me go."

" No, you'll be here for quite some time Sage my dear. Get comfortable, this is your home now." He walked back up the stairs slowly. I rattled the bars and let out a huge growl, one that would've scared the pants off a lion.

" Let me out!" I yelled. He merely laughed quietly and closed the door behind him. I cried out and jammed my foot into the wall, creating an instant dent. I knew my past would come back to haunt me, and here it was. Ready for revenge. . . And I was all alone. I sat down against the wall and banged my head against it, a small sob escaping my lips.

A/N Short chapter, I know. But I figured it was the epilogue and I liked ending it there so! haha, hope you liked it! I'm still not sure which story I'm going to start first, we'll see soon enough!! This is it for in the flames and water, hope you've enjoyed coming along for the ride ;)

Thanks for reading, if it wasn't for you guys, I would've gave up a long time ago. So thank you SO much.
