Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love

This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever

Holding onto patience wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
We could watch it fly and just keep looking up

This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever

-Paramore, Hallelujah

~EPILOGUE~

I had awoken to the light of a new day, to the sun shining into the huge picture windows. Edward was smiling down at me, his face much more beautiful now than it had ever been before. In that moment, I decided not to tell him about losing my soul. He was happy, so much different than what we had been in the past years. I wouldn't do anything to ruin that.

We were back in Forks. Edward explained the whole thing to me, after my first hunt of course. It was exhilarating, the power pulsing through my limbs, the taste of sweet blood on my tongue. Of course, I messed up my first time. There was blood smeared all over me, and my clothes were torn into pieces. Edward didn't seem to mind.

After he bit me, he "borrowed" a car, and drove us to the nearest private airport. He had called Alice, requesting that she fly a plane all the way to Italy, to pick us up. There wouldn't be a way to explain why I was passed out in an international airport. Apparently, the Cullen's had even more talents and vehicles than I was aware of.

Edward had lain me down on his leather couch, since his room had been left unchanged in all of the time he had been absent. Nobody had gone inside, since it caused too much pain for them to bear. I had been afraid that his family would be angry at me, hate me for the rest of eternity. But they didn't. They only thanked me for trying to save Edward.

Neither Edward nor I talked about what had happened in Volturra. I still didn't know why he was there, but I had my own idea of what had happened. They had captured him, all because of me. But strangely, he hadn't hated me either.

But the biggest, most important thing that had happened was the fact that Alice found my son. She found Anthony, and took him from the orphanage that had been caring for him. And even though he was human, I found his blood repulsing. I could never dream of taking his life. He was my reason for existing, besides Edward. I believed it was my duty to bring him into the world, no matter what. My joy was overwhelming when Alice carried him into the room, wrapped up in a blanket, cooing. No matter if I was a vampire or not, Anthony was my son.

I still haven't talked to Charlie or Renee. Angela and Luke were still in the dark. I was still debating over how I could ease them into this world of the supernatural, or if it would be better to leave them out permanently. It would hurt, but I would have to be completely selfless. And I would have to accept that, when the day came.

But for now, we were a happy, slightly messed up vampire family, with the exception of Anthony. And I hoped for this to be the end of the pain, the misery, and the uncertainties.

The End, Hopefully.
