Gonna keep it short and simple here, I loved writing this story, and I'm sad to see it coming to an end, but check again in about a year and you might see the sequel 'Elise', which is about Elsie finding her mate and discovering life as a vampire.
So I hope you all enjoyed your stay in Miriam's universe, you're welcome to come back for a visit anytime!
EDIT 07/20/2016: Yeah, the sequel to 'Miriam' has been cancelled. Sorry.

One year has passed since the battle at Volterra, and everything is perfect.
Elsie's managed to get though the newborn stage just fine, and is now well-adjusted to her new life. Being a big believer in the pursuit of knowledge, she's ecstatic about the many years she has ahead of her to learn. I think she's a total nerd to be so happy about that, but she's my nerd, and I wouldn't have her any other way.
When we got back home, we had to hide her from everyone. When the O'Laskeys didn't return from Italy, the local police spent pretty much half the year searching for them, then they gave up. The whole family was declared dead, even though they have no hard proof. We have Elsie, and the Volturi had already disposed of her parents' bodies. I went to the funeral in Elsie's place, mourning for her parents.
As for the Volturi, we managed to get a sort of peace agreement with Marcus. We stay out of their business, and they stay out of ours. And that's totally fine with us. We were all sick of playing politics.
Seth and I are finally together, and I couldn't be happier. Dad's not so pleased about it, but Mom's got him whipped. Every time he shows disapproval, she leans over and whispers something in his ear, and he backs off right away.
The Cullens have spent four years in Golden Creek; they'll be moving on soon, and I'll be going with them. My adopted family is sad to see me leave, but they all knew it would happen eventually. Now that I'm done with high school, I've been taking online courses in the roots of mythology. Since I've discovered my roots, I'm now fascinated with the lore of vampires and werewolves. It'll be fun to look at the traditional views, and their origins, now that I know their true natures.
That isn't even the best part. We've done some tests, and apparently, I've already stopped growing. Like Mom and everyone else, I'll be able to live forever, and spend all that time with my family and the love of my life.
Yes, everything is perfect.
THE END
