Chapter 49
Destiny
***EPOV
"Edward?"
Her voice...fuck, her voice sounds so close and yet so far...
"Edward? Are you ok?"
My eyes have rolled into the back of my head. I can hear her, partially see her, but the Universal mind was flooding me, knowledge shooting at me from all sides. Knowledge I wasn't ready to face. Knowledge I had every fucking reason to fear.
"You forgot about one thing, Eduardus. Destiny. We all have one, my friend..."
I'm shaking. Trying to block out Greco and everything else shooting at me. The forgotten memories of a childhood thousands of years passed. The subtle hints...her face...The child...
I fall backwards, hitting the fridge. Bella cries out my name, but I can barely keep myself here with her let alone respond. The force of the energy coursing through me shakes everything.
I know she can see it. Know she can see my very being flashing between the solid and ethereal form.
But it's the least of my worries. Because I remember now.
I see it exactly as it'd happened. Time had eclipsed and blurred the memory. Or so I thought. In reality, I now knew it'd been partially hidden from me.
Because it was my destiny.
And in my head, all I see is the small child I died to protect.
The child with the big, brown and frightened eyes.
