Rosalie's P.O.V
I lead bella back up to my rented room, nerves crashing in around me all the way. How was I going to explain what an ass I was being to her? She would surely mock me. Me, the famous Ice Queen, so nervous I could vomit. Bella placed herself at the foot of bed waiting for me to start. Those big doe eyes patiently waiting and pleading with me to let her in. I paced back and forth prolonging the talk that I asked for. Somewhere in the house Jasper sent me a dose of courage and I couldn't have been more thankful.
"Rose, it's ok." She says softly to me. So softly that I melt on the spot with a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry I was rude to both you and Tanya, I was jealous."
"Jealous?" She looks confused at my admission.
"Yes, jealous. I was jealous that Tanya was getting your attention and I thought that," I pause and sigh resigned. "thought that you wouldn't care to be around me anymore when you had her." What I expected was laughter but that never came. What came was a tight hug and little whispers.
"Oh rose, I could never forget you. You're my big sister, my protector and friend. I'll never leave you." There, right there, those words made me break down and hug her tightly as well. Not too tight but tight enough. "You don't know what that means to me, bella." With that we returned to our family, awaiting the dark day that was arriving soon.
Jacob's P.O.V
'Welcome to Denali, Alaska' the sign shown as we made our way to our destiny. Can't wait for this to be done and we can return home victorious. The tribe will tell stories for centuries of this battle. 'The Great Battle of the Cold Ones' they will call it. It was near dusk when we crossed the state line and I couldn't have been happier. Soon, soon it will end. Those filthy bloodsuckers will be really dead and our lands will be clear, also, bella will be mine. I've decided to give her another chance. She's human and their charms blinded her to their true nature. I couldn't fault her for that, she doesn't know. I will show her everything and she will thank me when this is all said and done. I'm brought from my musings by Paul.
"What are your orders?" Orders, he's always been a good lackey. Never complains to the Alpha just does as he's told.
"We rest tonight, feed and stay sharp. Tomorrow we kill some bloodsuckers." The pack growls with pleasure at my words and take to setting up camp. We're about 15 miles from the vampire hold out, down wind so we don't alarm them. That shady bastard Edward, has gone off somewhere. He's too scared to return and betray us so I know he hasn't gone back to his 'family'. I've waited so long to be rid of him. First bella was so wrapped around his finger that you would have thought he shit gold. The smug grin and smirks he would send me, flaunting his and Bella's relationship. He would pay for this dearly. For him, all of them, this is the final hour.
Esme's P.O.V
In my final hour my mind raced to and fro of my life. I haven't thought about my human years in many years but today all of it was coming back. When I first met my husband and future I didn't understand. Now I do and the joy I am showered with just makes it that much more. I think about my children. Although some haven't found their mate yet, I hold hope that we will survive this and they will live on to find them. My darling daughter, who is sleeping away by her mate's side on the couch. The heavens couldn't have blessed me more with her. The first day Edward bought her home I knew she was mine. So loving and tender even to those she hasn't known.
Rose, my oldest, so fierce and steady in her love and protection of this family. Alice, the bubbly fashion crazed girl of mine. Emmett, my strong man, jokester, most likely the one that broke something goofing around. Jasper, my little war hero, although the side he fought for left a lot to be desired. He still did it dutifully and with honor. So kind and just with his actions. Carlisle, my love, my everything. He was the leader and father to our family. The Denali's expanded to our lovely family rounding us off nicely. And now we also have Leah, and Seth.
Charlie still had a long ways to go but we weren't giving up hope on him. He's lost so much and has had just about everything taken from him but you could tell he is a changed man. Victoria as well, she was trying to make amends and was doing a wonderful job thus far. Riley was a nice addition to our family. He was a little of everyone. A jokester, a fashion buff, protector, kind hearted, and loving. A joy to call family along all those I love. I thought everyone would be off with their other halves taking the time for intimate moments but no. Everyone was in the living room, silent, latched on to family and lovers alike. Little glances every so often across the room like, like this was it. I surely will do my best to make sure that this wasn't it, or my name isn't Esme Jane Platt Cullen.
Carlisle's P.O.V
In my final hour my family and myself sat around each other. No one wanted to be away from the other. Charlie would give bella longing glances as would victoria. They have come a long way from the people we knew a year ago. As have I, my prejudgment not blinding me to my ex-son's controlling ways. It almost cost me a child, and that, is unforgivable. Bella, my sweet darling snoozing away. All of this is because of her and I'm just fine with that. Without her, without this, I would have been stuck in my ways. Playing pretend and going in circles. Our family would have never been truly happy. We have been stuck, incomplete…frozen. If asked if I would do this all over, the immediate answer would be yes. She is worth it and so much more. Everyone is, my extended family included. We all watch each other, our eyes flickering to Bella every so often. She is the glue to this family, the foundation of love we seek, the life we needed to be, alive. Tomorrow will make or break this family but I am positive that we will prevail. Yes, the Cullen family will survive.
Rosalie's P.O.V
In my final hour I thought about how petty I was. Something so trivial as looks and money was so important to me. Before this life, I was so shallow and vain. Deathly so, and it cost me my life. Or did it? Meeting this family and becoming apart of it has done wonders for me. I found that I had a range of emotions that was ok to express. Also I had a say in my life and the decisions that surrounded me. I will forever reprimand myself for the way I treated my youngest sister at the beginning. Those dogs won't know what is coming to them. Neither will Edward. I am coming to them, and with a vengeance they have never seen. I will rip Edward apart for the misdeeds he has done. Let them come.
Jasper, Tanya, and Charlie's P.O.V (Jasper- Regurlar, Tanya- Italic, Charlie- Underline.)
In my final hour-
In my final hour-
In my final hour-
The air was thick with waiting, so tight it reminded me of my war days.
My mate, my life, my love. I must protect her.
The time to shine is here, to show my little girl and myself, I'm worth something.
Every eyes twitchin' from one pair to the next.
That I can do this and be trusted.
Always protect her.
No one breathin' but bella and I don't think we've realized it.
Forever protecting her, with everything that I am. My family is counting on me.
My new love beside me, yes, I have to stand up and do something. Charlie Swan doesn't lay down and play dead. Not anymore.
Just waitin'.
Never again.
Down to the wire, to the eleventh hour.
There are no more words to be side at this moment. Just the loving looks and gentle touches are given. Hopin' to extinguish the threat that looms over our heads.
This is it.
This is it.
This, it is.
Edward's P.O.V
A little moan of approval escapes my red stained lips as I drain another worthless being. God the shifters were dumb but their people made for a very appetizing meal. So far I had claimed 13 lives on this god forsaken beach. They should be happy that they get the honor of sustaining me. I must be strong for the battle if I am to be victorious. My delusion family and their delusions of thinking that Bella is theirs. Bella will forever be mine and that mutt will be dead before he can even think about claiming my bella. I dropped the body I was holding and take my leave for the next house. I was plenty full but this was to make a statement. If any shifter survived they would know that I, Edward Cullen, was their god. They stood no chance with my superior mind. Everything about me was better and they would soon know it. Sue Clearwater was the first to go, then Billy Black. I've never liked the man and sue was because she tried to give away my lovely mate to her filthy mutt of a child. The others were imprints of the pack, even their children so I could eradicate their filthy race. Every person carrying the Quileute shifter bloodline will be exterminated by me personally. The streets will run red all the while spelling out my name. Ha, it was too perfect. When my task was completed, I made for Alaska once more a happy grin on my beautiful face all the way thinking, this is, their final hour.
Bella's P.O.V
When I awoke every one was in the room watching me. If today wasn't so crucial it would have been a bit creepy. "Morning." I muttered looking around. Everyone smiled warmly and returned my greeting.
"Are you hungry sweetheart?" Mom asked, she looked calm but behind her eyes you could see the worry. I hated the look, it was in everyone's face. "A little."
Thus started the mad dash to make me breakfast. I noticed that everyone seemed to seek comfort with one another. For instance, normally Carmen and mom would bicker for 10 minutes on who would get to make me breakfast but neither said anything. Mom walked into the kitchen while Carmen carried me behind her with Tanya following me. My poor mate, her eyes were already black, brow creased in worry. Everyone filed in as best they could into the big room. The entire mood was melancholy at best which only made my appetite dissipate by the second. As I shoveled food into my mouth I looked around to the sad faces. I couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's going to be ok." I stated firmly. The smiles instantly brightened the room and I cringed behind my hand. "Tone down the damn dazzle!" I shouted. Everyone chuckled and apologized.
"I can't wait until I'm a vampire. I'll dazzle you guys, see how you like it." Emmett's booming laugh made the room thaw a little. "When do we have to leave?" I asked bring the mood back to it's original setting.
Dad's face softens before he speaks, "The sooner the better. We don't want to be caught blindsided." With that I hurried and finished my food and we all headed out to the battle ground. When we came to a large opening deep in the forest, Tanya set me down and I scanned the area. Soon this is where a fight would break out. This was going to be the final resting place for people that I prayed wasn't my family. For some, this was going to be the final hour.
Next Chapter, the battle. I hope I do it justice for you all. Have a good weekend. I'll see you soon. Rage on.
