Me: Sorry for that last dramatic ending! And I only got 2 comments so far...well, maybe its because its only been a few hours. I'm easily discouraged. Anywho, you probably don't care about this when you have a dramatic ending to read!

I began to run toward her. Then, suddenly, I stopped. I... didn't want her. I spun around.

Lila was standing there. She looked more beautiful than even at our last encounter. She smiled.

I blinked, completely dazed. Why did I want to have Lila for my own? Why didn't I try to save Alice?

I couldn't even turn my head to avoid Lila's strong gaze.

I reached out and touched her face. I had to convince myself she was real and she was here. She wanted me still after I'd abandoned her.

"Jasper..." she whispered. My eyes hung on her lips as she said my name. If it were only y lips instead of my eyes, I thought.

"I'm sorry, Lila. I told you I would never leave you. How could I be happy without you? I don't know how I've never survived at all without you."

"Shhh..." Lila's whisper silenced me as she pressed a finger to my lips.

I tried not to show her how excited I was to be touched my this girl. This vampire...

"You don't have to apologize. It just want one thing from you..." her quiet voice was seductive. She pulled her arms around my neck. I inhaled the sweet smell of her blonde hair.

I drew nearer to her. I placed my hips against hers and tilted my head inward to kiss her lips.

Lila put a hand against my chest. "No yet, Jasper."

"What's wrong?" I asked her. "Can't I and spotted us together. Some time had passed but all the time in the world seemed meaningless as long as I could kiss this girl. My darling Lila...

"This is a new age," Lila said slowly. "It means I don't have to be proper anymore. It means I can be as naughty as I like. I can give it all to you...but you must give me one thing."

"Give this to me first. Then I will do whatever you like," I promised, leaning toward her again.

"I will give you what you want. But you must give me what I want," Lila traced a finger gently over my chest and leaned against me so her just reached mine.

Her lips were soft and I knew how much I wanted her now.

I was lost in the moment. But she had said it was a new time. Her father couldn't interrupt us. I could go as far as she'd let me. But instead, I released from the kiss.

"What is it that you want from me?"

Her eyes glowed with happiness. "Do you want me?" she asked.

"Oh, yes. How could you ever think I---"

"I can give you your desires. You've experienced how I can give you a desire but I cannot let you have me if you don't want me. So...tell me, do you want me?"

I was hesitant.

"Say it. Just say 'I want you'."

"I---" I closed my eyes. Something inside me wouldn't let me say it. Someone...I turned my head to the girl...the vampire girl...Alice.

I thought about Philadelphia.

I walked inside the small diner. A beautiful vampire came toward me. She had short dark hair and bright eyes.

Although she was small, I stopped in my tracks and took a step back, expecting an attack. That was the reaction of all other vampires I'd encountered.

"You've kept me waiting," she told me.

I felt something I hadn't felt for years. A surge of hope pulsed through me as I tipped off my hat and replied, "Sorry, ma'am."

"Jasper," Lila brought me back to face her. She drew closer to me. She gently nibbled on my ear. "Say you want me." She kissed down my neck.

"I---I can't. I---don't want you."

Lila kept her head by my neck but his time she selected the vein. What had I expected? She was a vampire now. She bit me.

"You want Alice," she spat. She had the ability to give me a desire but she could not sustain it it I wanted something else. "Alice is dead! Now, you're going to be next!"

I admit, it hurt. A lot.

Lila bit me again. "I actually thought this could work out. I thought this could be like before."

I felt her incense turn to sadness, like before I'd left for Mexico. "Don't you remember? You promised me then too! I should have known you would break the promise."

I dropped to my knees. My pain, her sadness...this wasn't a good combination.

Then I felt another pain. Someone else was here. Alive―or at least, undead.

"Jazz..." a soft whisper gave me a sense of hope. The same thing I'd felt in Philadelphia. That was when I knew she was alive.

"You!" Lila turned toward Alice. "You're not dad?" Then Lila smiled. Although this was another usual seductive smile. There was a glint of evilness that reflected in her eyes.

She grabbed Alice's thin body and pulled her to stand.

"You hurt me! I'm going to hurt you!" Lila declared as she grabbed Alice's arm and snapped it back. I heard a crack and I knew it was broken.

Alice would have cried if she could but instead, it was I who gasped in pain.

"Now look how this works. I can hurt her..." Lila demonstrated by biting Alice's neck.

I cried out, "Let go of her."

"Then it hurts you to! How does it feel, Jasper? How does the pain feel? Does it hurt to be betrayed, like you did to me?"

I met Lila's red eyes and that was when I realized, she was completely crazy.

I struggled past Alice's pain and my own and ran to Lila and pulled her off Alice.

"You hurt my Alice!" I breathed angrily.

She pushed me away from Alice.

So I lashed out. Punching her, hitting her, anything I could do.

She did not go down easily, until I bit her and said, "That was for Alice."

Her body seized up and I bit her again. Then a third time.

Lila fell to the ground. She was dead.

I ran to Alice. "Alice?" I touched her face gently. She was cold, but then, she always was.

"Alice, please wake up," I told her.

She groaned. "Thank you. You saved me," she whispered, her voice still weak.

I pulled her head into my lap, then helped her sit up so her head rested against my chest.

"To think you considered marrying her!" Alice joked in disapproval. "She almost killed me!"

I tipped an invisible hat to her and replied, "Sorry, ma'am."

Me: See! I would never kill my Alice! And I had to use that last line since that is my favourite thing from Eclipse. COMMENT! Or I might be tempted to leave you without the epilogue! MWAHAHAHAH! I guess that isn't that evil, its just an epilogue...oh well, MWAHAHA!
