Edward and Bella

Epilogue

A/N:

Well, here it is: The last 'chapter' of my story. I feel really happy about finishing this after a year and a month—take or add a few days.

After this, I will have an acknowledgement 'chapter'. Once again, thank you everyone! Enjoy!

Last Chapter:

Edward's Point of View: "Don't forget to burn me, this time," I said, welcoming death.

Seth's Point of View:

Sam told me everything when he came back. His eyes looked weary, and he heaved for breath a lot.

After that, he went over to Billy's house to break the news to him that his son was dead.

That was a week ago.

Both Charlie and Billy were devastated, having to lose their only child.

Sam took Bella back to Charlie, and he buried her somewhere on the border of Forks and La Push.

Edward was killed in that fight a week ago.

He was burned, and turned to ash.

Sam kept them in a box in his and Emily's house.

"Why don't you scatter them where Bella's buried?"

Sam glared at me.

"He doesn't deserve a happy ending," he snapped.

I recoiled at Sam's tone. He was so cold.

The pack had lost members, and we all grieved for them: Paul and Jacob.

But inside, I also grieved for the Cullens.

I knew that they were like us, not really having a choice in being made into monsters.

Maybe if they actually had a choice, they would not choose this life for themselves. Forced to live off of blood.

I shuddered.

Everyone else in the pack looked down on me, just because I didn't want to hurt Edward that night at the field.

I felt for him. That was why I didn't want to hurt him.

The only reason we were thrown to fight was because, the overview of it all, Edward and Bella loved each other. Loved each other so much, that they would protect each other at all costs. Loved each other so much that they would die for each other.

I felt sorry for him that his brother had died. Yes, Paul and Jacob also died for us—they were like our brothers—but I wondered how the loss must be for Edward.

Neither side should have lost family, but we did.

Human and vampire. Everyone said that they should not be together. At least, from our side, everyone disagreed.

But, I thought, if one of us were to fall in love with a human, no one would object.

I bet it was the same for both of us—werewolf and vampire. Both sides might disagree with the other falling in love with one not their own 'species,' but they would agree if it were on their sides.

I felt for Edward. He couldn't help but fall in love with Bella. Just like Bella couldn't help but fall in love with Edward.

They were perfect for each other, but yanked away from each other all too soon. All by the prejudice of us.

The least I could do, now, was make sure that they were together.

Which was why I was outside Sam's house right now.

He and the rest of the pack were on patrol, and I was assigned to stay.

It wasn't hard to go into his house—no one really locked their doors in La Push.

I went into his kitchen, and immediately spotted the black box holding Edward's ashes.

I picked it up, and replaced it with a replica, with a bird's ashes inside.

Since Sam was the alpha in the pack, he would eventually find out what I had done. But I could take his wrath.

So I took the box, and then ran to where Bella was buried. It was a surprise that I didn't spill the contents.

When I reached the grave, I transformed back into human, and placed a single red rose on the grave. My gift to Bella.

After that, I opened the box, and sprinkled the ashes all over Bella's grave. When the last of the ashes were gone, on the ground, I set the box down on the ground.

There. Now they will be together forever. The forbidden love of vampire and human. Of Edward and Bella.

Bella's Point of View:

It was so dark where I was. I was so cold, too. So very cold. I squinted forward, but saw nothing but darkness.

"Bella?" A voice behind me startled me. When I turned around, I suddenly became much more warmer.

Edward.

"Edward!" I called out, running to him.

He grabbed me as I ran into his arms, and held me tight.

When his grasp loosened, he pressed his lips to mine, and our kiss was nothing like our previous ones.

"Edward!" I gasped, feeling his arm. "Y-you're warm. Not cold."

His eyes gleamed. "I guess I am."

Tears trickled down my face.

"I love you, Edward."

"I love you, too, Bella. We can be together, forever."

With those words, my tears hit the ground beside our feet.

Together. Forever.
