Prompt: Dying
An old man was sitting in an old cane rocker, bouncing a laughing two year old on his knee.
"Grand-paa, st- st – stop it!" The little girl squealed between giggles.
The old man bellowed out an evil laugh. "Never-r-r-r-r-r!"
Not a second later though he scooped the little girl up and kissed her on the cheek.
"Are they cookies I smell?" he said in a suspicious voice.
The little girl sniffed the air appreciatory. "Chocolate chip."
"Looks like grandmas been cooking" the old man said in a mock serious voice.
"Yeah" the little girl said, climbing off her grandpas' knee and dropping to all fours.
"Lets scare her," she whispered. The old man grinned down at his grand daughter and nodded his head.
Together the old man and the little girl crept into the kitchen, where an old woman with long hair was standing at a kitchen bench, humming to herself as she flicked through the pages of an old book.
Beside her was a large tray of chocolate chip cookies.
"On my signal" the grandpa whispered to his granddaughter.
He held up three fingers to signal the countdown. "BOOOOO" they both screamed together making the old woman jump a foot in the air.
"Jacob Black, what in Gods name did you think you were doing?" the old woman said, struggling for breath.
"Scaring you," he answered with a large smile.
The old woman rolled her eyes but couldn't fight back a smile.
"These are really good grandma" the little girl mumbled through bites of her cookie.
The old woman smiled softly at her little granddaughter and told her that there was lemonade on the table outside.
The old man grabbed a cookie off the tray and walked over to his wife, who had gone back to reading her book.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek.
"Yeah, I love you too" she said putting down her book and taking his hand in its place.
The old man raised their conjoined hands kissing each of his wives fingers before walking outside to check on his little granddaughter.
Outside the kitchen window a vampire looked in.
It wasn't the first time that Bella Cullen had come to the little old house to watch the life that she could've (should've) had.
It wasn't the first time she longed for it either. It was however, the last time.
Bella Cullen let out a breath she didn't need and ran to the safety of the dark woods. "Goodbye my Jacob" she whispered, before disappearing into the darkness.
Forever.
