Okay, here is the last chapter. I still can't believe that I have actually finished this story . . . and without procrastinating any more! I feel great about that! I'm pretty sure that you'll enjoy this chapter, even though it is the last one. I seriously would still like reviews and ideas (since I am doing a sequel to this story) for creatures. I need some for a very huge element of things. Enjoy the last chapter!

When Carlisle was done fixing me up, my relative came in. He sat down on the end of the bed I was sitting, my leg in a cast and my wrist in a brace, all my scrapes were covered up, but I still couldn't move because of the gouge in my stomach. Edward had left us alone for this, per Blake's request. Even though I knew that all of them could hear every single word that was said, it was still nice that they at least thought of this common kind gesture.
"Bella, do you know who I am?" Blake asked me.
"You are Blake," I started, "Any you're related to me, though not exactly directly, you have the same last name, you are a deamon, and you are here to help whith whatever it is that is going to be coming at us."
Blake smiled, "I see that you know enough for this to work. Now, I think I need to explain somethings to you, like how I knew you were in trouble and why I knew where you were, and all of those things."
"I have time, it's not like I'm going anywhere, and I do think that you better tell me this, even though I have a feeling I know what you'll be telling me about," I told him.
He smiled at me again, taking a deep breath. "Well, first things first, you and I were born on the same day. Different continents, different circumstances, but we were both born on the same day, we are distantly related, and my last name does come from the same family tree that yours does. I was one of those freak kids that out of two human parents becomes something completely different. That's another thing we have in common, I am a deamon, you are a pixie. One of the two ways for that to come about is a freak gene twist with two human parents. Anyway, I found all of this out since my parents died when I was only five years old, and even then I had abilities that no one else seemed to have, and besides that, I was quite smart for a five year old. I was in an orphanage and I was adopted by a very odd man. I was seven at that time. When he brought me into his house, he started to tell me some very important things, things that you need to know, too.
"He told me that there was a war coming between all of those that hide from humans eyes. He said that some would fight to protect the humans oblivious nature to all the supernatural things, which is as it should be, and others will fight so that they will learn that all these creatures are there, and that would turn them all into slaves of the creatures that had previously hidden."
"I asked him what sort of creatures, but he only smiled wryly at me, telling me that I would find out in time, that all the information I needed would come to me as I needed it. He told me that I was important to this struggle, and a woman of the same blood would be even more important than me. He told me that we would have to lead a side of the battle, the side would be up to us. We would tip the balance, though it still would not be a guarantee that the side we chose would win this great battle. He told me that I could not lead an army without him by my side. He said that I would not be trusted because of my nature, but the other leader would be beloved by those that wished to fight for them, and she would lead in ways that I could not.
"He told me that she would also be like me in the way I was born, though her life may take different turns. He told me that to find what I needed to, I had to travel. When I was the age of eleven, he started taking me all over the world, only staying in the same hotel room as I did while I ran about looking for information. I learned on my travels how to feel you out, how to tell if you were alive or dead, and if you were in danger or not, and even what that danger was. I learned how each of us could find their mate, so that's how I knew. I learned quite a bit, and as I searched knowledge that I didn't even know I had came to the surface. So here I am, sitting before you, telling you that you are going into battle as a great leader, with me by your side, and, of course, your mate supporting us. I do have to say I was quite surprised to see that you had already found your mate.
"Anyway, I found out something else. We need to seek out a certain creature that can help us plan for what will happen, for how the war will start. The creature will not be able to predict who will win or who we will side with, but they will be able to tell us more about what we are supposed to do with all of this. You and I are going to change the world, at least a little bit. And I don't know about you, but I'm leaning towards the side of 'not letting the humans know about us'. I'll let you say something now."
"Well," I said, "That's a heck of a lot to take in. But I gather that I'm the one that's supposed to know what the creature we need to seek out is?"
"Yeah," Blake said sheepishly.
"Edward's going to be mad at me," I told him simply.
"Why?"
"Because he won't want me to go all over the place looking for the creature that will tell us what we need to know, and I have to find out where exactly this creature is as well, am I correct?" I said to him.
"That's right, but I know that you won't know where at least right not. It will probably take a few months for you to figure it out, until then, I'll be sticking around. I've already talked to Carlisle and he said it would be alright for me to stay here as long as I need to. So, I'll be here. I'm even going to see if I can go to school . . . well, maybe not. I haven't been in school since I was nine! Maybe Esme will tutor me to get me up to speed in all the normal things," He said.
"Well, that's good to know. I know I wouldn't be ready to go on any sort of quest like thingy right now, I'm just trying to recover from that nasty attack. I guess I need to get a little bit older before I can take on a vampire safely," I said to him.
He laughed at me, "You can say that. I think it would be quite a few years before you get to that point." He ruffled my hair.
"Don't ever do that again or I will bite your head off," I told him. The mood in the room had lightened considerably, but the threat of that up and coming war hung over our heads, lurking there just waiting to come back and bug us, to force us to get ready for it.
"I think we should tell the rest of them now," I told him.
"I would agree."
"You know they've heard our entire conversation already, don't you?" I said.
"Yeah, but I think we should tell them again," Blake responded.
"Where did this 'we' come from? It's you that will be telling them! I wouldn't remember half of that stuff, or at least be able to tell it the right way," I told him.
"Fine. But you're telling your mate. I'll send him up while I clarify things with the rest of our family," He said.
"Our family?" I asked.
"Yeah. You're mate is a part of this family, I'm part of your family - albeit distantly - so this is my family as well," he responded. I just looked at him funny as he walked out of Edwards room and down into the living room. Edward was up there in a second.
"Are you doing alright?" Edward asked me.
"I'm doing fine, I just am having a bit of an overload of information going on right now. My life just changed in about half an hour, you know. I don't mean it hadn't before hand, but this time it's astronomical. If you know what I mean," I told him.
"I can see that," he said, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"What are we going to tell Charlie?" I asked Edward.
"We'll think of something to tell him, Carlisle will figure it out," he said.
"Oh! I know! We can say I fell down the stairs, successfully breaking my arm and leg and managing to scrape myself up in the process, all the cuts that might show are very minor, the big one is in hiding underneath my shirt. Unless I want to go swimming, he doesn't need to know about it," I told Edward.
"I think that just might work, I'll talk to Carlisle about that," he said.
"At least Alice and my week spent together is a good cover up for everything that has happen, huh?" I said, placing my head on his stomach.
"I think so, too. You should get some more rest, you're really quite tired, I can tell," Edward informed me.
"Alright, as long as you promise to stay right here while I sleep," I told him sternly.
"I promise I will."
"Good." And I quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was brought down stairs, it was the last day of Alice and my sleep over like deal, and we needed to clear things up. At least about how we would proceed from here. I won't bore you with all the words that were said, I'll just let you know what the turn out was.
We decided that Blake would be a family friend that was transferring from New York who was being home schooled by Esme, if he went out in public, that would be his story. As far as my injuries go, we had decided to go with my 'falling down the stairs' cover up. It worked perfectly. For the summer, we were planning on having some sort of vacation, where we all go and I am invited - and it would be for the entirety of the summer, giving Blake and I enough time to figure out what we need to for the impending war, and then prepare for it. Edward still wasn't very happy that I would be a main part of the supposed war, but I was going to help him get over that. We just had to live out the rest of the school year before we went on the 'vacation'. Hopefully by the end of the year I would know what sort of creature we had to find, and where we were going to find it. And let me tell you, it was going to be quite the adventure.
I would love you to review, even though this is the last chapter, but still, it makes me smile. I hope to be able to start posting the sequel to this lovely story in a month - maybe less. It might be more time than that - due to the insane work load my school schedule will be not so kindly providing. What ever the case may be, I will do my very best to get the story going as soon as I possibly can.
