Sorry about the evil cliffy!!

This will be the last chapter of my story, and most likely the end of any sequels to The End of Another Day. I'd like to thank all those who read it and reviewed and put this story on the alerts and favorites!

Like Dawn's Morning Dew

I gasped out loud as Diendre grabbed my neck and swung me off the ground. Edward, renewed with fury, tried to jump on Diendre. Diendre, still staring intently at me, snarled,

"One toe out of place and this girl's dead."

Edward froze and growled in anger and frustration. I stared into Diendre's unnerving red orbs defiantly, my lips curled up in cold fury. I whispered,

"Let me down so I can fight you."

Diendre threw his head up in conceited laughter and disgust. The other five vampires had stepped in closer to us, rounding on Edward. Diendre, renewed in bravery by his winning position, barked out orders to them in a cruel, rough voice,

"No! I will kill them myself."

The vampires created a tight circle around us, forming a cloud of tension. I ignored all this and did not keep off my glare from Diendre's hateful eyes. I growled fiercely,

"Fight me. Or are you too afraid?"

Instead of mocking me and laughing, Diendre's face became livid. His whisper was like a knife as he repeated,

"Afraid? I am not afraid of anything."

I took advantage of this statement and snarled,

"Then fight me."

From his expression, it seemed as if he was thinking about it in his puny little mind. He smiled maliciously and threw me down on the ground brutally. He turned to Edward, whose eyes were black as night, and threatened,

"If you interfere in anyway of your little mate's death, then you will regret it until the very moment you die."

Edward's angelic face became shocked and livid as he read Diendre's mind. He snarled one more time and clenched his jaws together. I stood there, facing Diendre's leering face. He murmured,

"Brace yourself for your eternal doom!"

I positioned myself for defense. Diendre snarled and jumped at me, as fast as lightning. I drew out my nails and managed to scratch at his face. He leaped back in surprise, then smiled.

"You're not as defenseless as I thought. Fine, I won't go easy on you then."

He started to circle around me, his crimson orbs sparkling with malice. I curled back my lips and let my natural vampire instincts kick in. Diendre extended his arm to tear at my neck, but I was too fast for him. I grabbed his arm and started to dig in my nails into it mercilessly. Diendre started to twist in pain. From the corner of my eye, I saw him extend his other arm and grow wisps of black. The black liquid like smoke was pooling in his palm, getting ready to make a jet of force. (This is his power) In response, I tried to make my blue force field, but nothing came. I had used up my powers. I was too weary to make them. I shut my eyes, still not letting go of Diendre's arms. My nails were dug in halfway through his flesh…

I suddenly felt a large metal pole push at my stomach and lurch me off the ground. In a millisecond, I was flying through the air and headed right for the wall.

I felt the wall hit me hard on the back of my skull and my spine. I groaned in pain and heard Edward's frantic calls of my name.

"Bella! Bella!"

I could feel my crumpled form, leaning on the back of the wall. My vision was blurry, but I could still see Diendre's figure coming near me. His feet found my hand and he made a move to step on it, to crush it. I braced myself for the pain and squeezed my eyes shut. However, the pain never came. I opened one eye, then the next. Diendre was not standing in front of me anymore. Edward was fighting one of the five vampires along with…

"Alice! Rosalie! Carlisle!"

I was bursting with happiness to see them. All hopes that had been killed rose up like rocket fires, sending me flying emotionally with joy. They did not answer, but were in focus of killing the vampires, trying to rip them to shreds. I tried to join in, but a firm hand pulled me down. When I whipped around, I saw Esme's motherly face wrinkled in worry. She murmured,

"Bella, stay with me, dear. You're badly hurt."

I wondered the first thing that came to mind, ignoring the sharp pains and throbs tormenting every inch of my body.

"Where is Edward?"

"I'm here."

A fiery voice spoke from the left. When I turned, he was clawing at Vincent. Vincent's body was trembling, and he pleaded,

"Please, please, let me live. Please!"

Edward was breathing upon Vincent's face as he whispered,

"This is what you get for your unworthy deeds, rat."

Shrieks erupted from Vincent's lips as Edward clawed through him, ripping at any parts of flesh that he could get. I sighed and closed my eyes. Finally, Vincent was dead. He cannot harm us anymore. I watched as the other five vampires went down. It was an unnerving sight, but I had to see it. They had caused my family pain and they deserved it. I soft asked,

"Esme. How did you know?"

Esme laughed in spite of the situation and softly murmured,

"Alice."

I whispered,

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

Finally, Diendre was destroyed for forever by Jasper and Emmett. He would not rise again to harm us in any way at all. The Cullen house became completely silent, creating a dome of peace over it. Alice hurried over to where I was laying and hugged my waists tightly.

"Bella, I'm so sorry! I saw something about Diendre, but I didn't know that it'd end this way. I only saw you and Edward at the house while we were hunting and then we hurried over to help you. Bella, are you ok? How are you feeling?"

I muttered,

"I'd feel much better if you please let go of me, Alice."

"Oh, sorry."

Edward kneeled down to where I was. However worried the others were, they left immediately to give us some privacy. His eyes smoldering, he leaned his face closer to mine and whispered,

"Bella. I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you. It's all-"

I lifted up my arm and pressed a cool finger on his lips, stopping his apologies. I murmured,

"It was my fault. Not yours."

Edward's voice was soft as he said,

"Bella, you saved me from Diendre… I can't believe you just jumped right in front of me..."

I couldn't help but smile.

"I just did what you would've done if I was in your situation."

Edward grinned. He leaned down upon my face and pressed his lips closer to mine. He murmured, his scent so appealing,

"I love you, Bella."

I grinned and whispered,

"I know."

It was our trademark gesture, to speak in this way. I already knew Edward's response:

"I'm waiting, Mrs. Cullen."

I laughed and pressed my lips against his. We held unto each other, until finally he gently pulled away. I murmured,

"Does that answer your question?"

Edward stroked my face gently and whispered,

"Yes it does, indeed."

He gently slid his arms below my back and softly cuddled me. I knew that our marriage was going to have some hardships and a little trouble, but I also was sure that we were going to live through it. We were going to make it. Our love would be sprinkled unto our daily lives, each time our relationship turned a little rocky. Just like dawn's morning dew. Dawn would spread moist, tiny diamonds unto the world each morning, every time the earth turned dry. Every time Edward and I had little, trivial hardships in life.

I gazed into Edward's loving, topaz eyes. My lips turned up into a smile, knowing, no, feeling, with all my heart the flames of love… that would burn forever on, no matter what happened.
