Chapter 32

She knelt down next to me again. She lifted me up, so I was sitting. She brushed my hair out of my face. Then she said what I knew to be the final words I would hear before I died.

"Nobody left to save you..."

I waited. I waited for death.

I guess it wouldn't be too awful. How much more painful could it be than the pain I was experiencing right now? That was the only real thing I was worried about. The fact that I would be dead didn't worry me at all, actually. I believe in some sort of afterlife. And I believe that vampires, even though they do bad things, really are good inside. I believe they would be given the same chance at an afterlife that humans are. Therefore, I would see Edward, Alice, Emmett, and Jasper soon.

My family.

I wasn't frightened of leaving the world behind at such a young age. Everything I wanted to do on earth, I could still do in the afterlife. I would be with Edward forever, and that's all I really want.

Victoria examined my face. "You're not scared," she commented. I shook my head. "Why not?" she questioned.

I shrugged. "How much worse can death be than this?" I asked. "You've already caused me great pain, so that won't be an issue. And I'm not worried about leaving behind people I love, because the love of my life will be waiting for me."

She looked very amused. "You don't believe that, as vampires, we've lost our souls?" the concept seemed ridiculous to her.

"Nope," I said. "I believe that some vampires have lost their souls, but not all of them. Edward was a good, kind, caring person. His heart was full of love. He wasn't evil, or anything even close. He wouldn't lose his soul. You, on the other hand..." I trailed off. Even though I didn't fear the pain anymore, I still didn't want to experience it again.

Victoria laughed. "You just keep believing that, honey. It'll help you as you die. But, when you're up there, looking for your sweet Edward, don't get upset when you don't find him."

"I will find him," I insisted. She simply shrugged.

"Whatever you want to believe," she said.

The next second, without any warning, I felt her razor sharp teeth sinking into my neck.

Please review! Please please please!

I know I said there wasn't much left, but I think there will be like 5 more chapters still. I'll try to get one out every day (I'll actually be able to do that since its summer now!)

Till next time
