(AN: don't own twilight, Stephanie does)
The day came, the day where everything becomes too real, the funeral. At 5:30 evening everyone invited was there. Charlie, Renee and Phil were the first to arrive to inspect the location, there was a large white gazebo, not affected with the weather, with more than thirty chairs, the simple mahogany casket at the middle of the marble floor and some daisies in the railing on the entrance or the gazebo.
They looked for anything that was out of place because everything had to be perfect for her. Renee had dressed her in a yellow sundress with her pale yellow ballet flats, her hair in waves with the tip of curls in the end, her face with a bit of makeup to make her face peaches and cream, even though no one will see her she wanted her daughter to be even more beautiful than she was.
At a slow pace the guest started to arrive, first was Billy Black and his son Jacob, shacking their hands in the condolence manner, later Harry Clearwater with his family Sue, Seth and Leah. Then her class mates arrived in Tyler Crowley´s van, the van that nearly crushed her, Mike Newton came out first with tears in his eyes holding out a hand to Jessica who came out the same way, later Ben holding a heartbroken Angela, Lauren and Tyler holding hands, Lauren gave him a sad smile and tightened her hold on his hand and he returned it and started walking towards the gazebo.
The whole pack came too, for Charlie´s sake and last but not least the Cullen Family.
Like everyone else, they dressed in black but to some guest looked even more attractive. Carlisle pale blond hair sleeked back, black dress shirt and black slacks, his amber eyes full of sadness that revealed his true age, his wife Esme with a knee length long sleeved dress and V-shaped neckline, her caramel hair was in a messy bun, the pain her eyes of losing a child all over again and black kitten heels. Rosalie was dressed in a strapless black dress, her hair was half-up half-down, black stilettos heels, her eyes as she looked ahead held guilt, for acting cold towards her but at least she acted pleasant on her birthday, her husband on the other hand had the same attire as his father but his expression hasn't change, his face twisted in a serious manner, his grieving was bare to see. He tightened his hold on his wife and she gave him a small smile, he looked at her and the corner of his mouth curves. Alice wore an A-line Scoop Tea-length satin black dress, her hair straightened, silver jimmy choo's with a matching hand bag, wearing a sad expression that was only deeper inside and her husband…he forced himself to come here to receive the pain he deserved, his wavy hair, the pain he tried to hide. But worse off was his her lover.
Edward´s face was blank, his eyes didn't say pain, his eyes were hollow like the rest of his being, he looked at the casket and his heart clenched and exhaled sharply, and everyone saw his reaction. Charlie was mad at him and as a grieving parent; he found himself in front of him and yelled:
-"YOU SAID SHE WAS GOING TO BE FINE! IS SHE HUH? ANSWER ME, CULLEN!"
Edward looked at him seeing every emotion but it didn't beat how he felt about himself.
-"No" he answered.
You could hear if someone let a needle hit the floor from the eerie quiet, Renee put a hand on his shoulder
-"Come on Charlie, leave him alone".
-"No, don't you get it Renee? He killed her!".
-"Charlie, that's not true he loved her-" she was cut off
-"No" Edward said
-" Love her and I always will" as soon as he said this he went to sit with his family in the third line close to the casket, they could smell the reeking smell of a corpse as did the wolfs. Renee grabbed Charlie´s hand and led him towards their chairs in the front row and so it started.
Charlie spoke first
-"Hi everyone, well I'm not very good with words most of the time but if I would talk like a parakeet for my baby girl-" he stopped for a moment, he breathed in and out slowly to control himself "- even though we didn't talk much or sometimes at all I love her now like I did when I held her for the first time-" he smiled "and when she came here I nearly burst, seeing her all grown up and all I could think was "I got her back" but I didn't know how long it would last" he cried and said" I'm sorry" to the crowd and sat down.
Everyone had tears down their faces except the Cullen's that had tears brimming in their eyes. Jasper felt his loss, Edward saw his memories, and Esme could connect with them, seeing as she went through the experience twice and now losing her son right before her eyes and knowing she can't do anything to stop it.
It was quiet except for the sniffles but everyone turned mute to see who was speaking.
-" I remember when she did this move from her ballet class to show me that she finally mastered it after a while of practicing and twisted her ankle in the process" she smiled at the memory
-"We practically live in the hospital until her balance evened out a bit through the years" some chuckled at the memory
Memories:
Bella was holding on to the racquet watching everyone play, she was accident prone yet Mike chose her anyway. The little feathered ball was heading her way and she yelled:
"I got it!"
Unaware that Mike was heading her way she hit him while his racquet hit her on the head, they both fell to the floor of the gym and groaned in pain.
Angela was walking with Bella in the hallway talking about a class assignment when Bella tripped out of the blue letting her books fall to the floor with a thud and snickers heard
-"Are you all right?" Angela asked as she held her up then picking up her books handing them to her.
-"Thanks Ang, I'm fine just clumsy as usual" she shrugged
-"Oh Bella what am I going to do with you?" Angela said
-"You can love me"
They stood still for a moment and then laughed
In First Beach
Walking close to the tide seeing her checks flush from the cold, her boots sinking into the sand, how she tries to keep herself warm with her coat, her voice full of curiosity asking about the Cullen's and Quileute legends and their connection. He looked at her when she was looking at the waves meeting the sand with a hiss; suddenly she turned her face to see he was watching her, her looked ahead feeling heat in his cheeks.
The sun high in the sky rare in the cloudy coverage, he saw the red tints in her hair, her glowing skin in the sun made her look angelic in some way. He couldn't resist touching her warm cheek, feeling the soft skin under his finger tips and she didn't hesitate in leaning her face into his hand kissing his palm; he smiled at the gesture, looking into her eyes leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I love you" he said
The ceremony ended in a blink of an eye, they talked amongst themselves for a while until they had to bury her where the tears stained their cheeks. One by one left, some stayed for a whole different reason than the person next to them, loyalty, sadness, pain, guilt, to be someone's rock and so on.
The Cullen's were stiff as they watched the grave lower to the ground, Esme was sobbing silently into her husband's side, Emmett looked at the fresh ground as a reminder of human ending, the ending he was saved from while Rosalie held him with her head to his shoulder, Carlisle rubbed his hand soothingly on Esme's arm. Alice held Jasper for dear life with her face in his stomach and Jasper had his arm around her shoulder while the other ran through her hair. Edward watched the ground with empty eyes, planning but has been careful not to reach a decision from his physic sister.
They were to wrapped up in their emotions that they didn't see the pack approach them with their new members, Sam cleared his throat for their attention and the Cullen's looked at their direction with a bit of shock because they didn't hear them.
-"What happened?" he asked
-"Car accident" was an automatic response by their father
Sam wasn't fooled he could see the a bit of red in the other blond eyes, what they didn't know was he saw her before she was buried and saw a crescent mark on her neck and as he remembered Edward snapped his head at his direction while confirming Sam's thought, the blond killed her. He broke the treaty and now signs the life's of his coven, death.
The END
(I'm not that mean)
-"You know what this means do you?" Sam asked them
They nodded but some of the pack members were confused as to what happened with their confusion bare Sam said the only words they needed to hear.
-"They broke the treaty"
Some were smiling at the chance to finally get rid of them, smelling them in the air, their horrible overly sweet scent. Others realized that Bella was murdered by their hands and that got them angry.
-"How could you? That sweet child you murdered she had a family at home, you came here to her funeral! , and now you came here to watch her parents suffer because of you! man you guys really are twisted"
The Cullen's looked around noticing it was a bad place to argue about a murder, killing and other things the dogs were yelling at them and so Carlisle spoke in a calm voice
-"Maybe we could speak about this in a another location"
-"Why? I think this place suits you, surrounded by the dead and what a coincidence you are dead" said a fresh shifter
Some snickered but Carlisle was persistent on location because it was too public and the both clans knew how careful they needed to be so they decided to meet in the baseball field in the Cullen's territory in an hour. As they all ran to the house one stayed behind listening to the entire conversation between the enemies, shocked to hear the real reason for why Bella Swan had died. It was no accident. It was murder. All the legends he's heard as a kid were real, the monsters had crossed the line when they took a life it wasn't theirs to take. He was going to follow them and revenge her.
His anger and thirst for revenge was surprising and overwhelming, he thought that they would run away without paying and that's what kept him going, and he was going to make matters into his own hands. As he ran in the forest he gained speed, his bones started to connect into another form, his muscles started shifting and soon he found himself in all fours running in a speed he didn't know he possessed, he followed the fast pads of feet in the ground he somehow hears.
A pair of pads went west and he followed, thinking he was going to take one for one of the leeches had taken hers. Soon he found himself in a clearing, a small clearing and in front of him was a leech sitting in the grass looking like he didn't have a care in the world with a calm face and a too sweet scent came to him as the wind hit his way making him step back.
-"I know why you are here" said a deep voice.
Why am I here then? He thought.
-"To kill me," the voice answered .
-"I have no reason to beg for you to leave me alive, I am responsible for her death".
That's all I needed to hear and then he attacked the willing vampire out of his misery while his family was a couple of miles away.
As the pack came to the baseball field they found the Cullen's right in the middle, one of them remained human form to talk to them while the rest in shifters. And so Carlisle spoke
-"Bella's death was an accident, no one had intentionally wanted to kill her-"he was interrupted.
-"The treaty was broken as soon as the blond pressed its teeth into her neck and fed," Sam said.
-"And all of you know it I presume?" he kept going until the vampires noticed someone missing.
-"Where's Edward?" Alice asked and everyone looked over their shoulders and was surprised to find a spot missing. Then they all heard the tearing of metal and smell of smoke in the air.
-"EDWARD!" Esme screamed and ran towards the scent as did the rest of them, following the scent into the clearing that was the place where she had died and found wood, body parts like legs and arms until they saw a flaming head of bronze hair in the fire.
-"NOOOOO" Esme screamed over and over and over again dropping on her knees and laying there where Carlisle fell also hugging her to him. Emmett hasn't felt that weak since the bear nearly killed him, looking straight into the fire fell on his knees and stood still. Rosalie was to shocked to move but her eyes betrayed her. Alice held Jasper as her anchor with her back to the fire and crying tearless sobs into his stomach. Jasper was trying to control the emotions of grief that were too powerful plus his own feeling of despair as he stared at the flaming corpse of his brother.
The pack left them alone for their time to grief but Sam still heard the piercing scream of a mothers loss in his ears. Jacob left as soon as he heard the footsteps thinking to himself that the score was tied, one for one.
The last thought Edward was the face of his angel, his Bella smiling at him and saying:
"I love you Edward"
His last words were:
"I love you my singer"
