Wonder
It taken everyone the rest of the day to find all of the dismembered body pieces and throw them into the fire that Benjamin had created with his power to control the elements. After every piece is gathered, I stand and watch the purple fire rise into the air, feeling accomplished.
The Volturi had lost at least ten of their members, where we only lost two. A nomad, and Nicholas, one of the new wolves.
I was lost in my thoughts, that I didn't hear someone come up behind me, until they patted me on the back. I turned around to see Bella. "Thanks. I know you didn't want to come in the first place, but you did great." She hugged me and I hesitantly hugged her back. "You can go if you want to now."
I bit my lip and looked over her shoulder. She followed my gaze then looked back at me. I looked to the ground, blushing. "I think I might stay for awhile, actually. She laughed and pushed me to what I had been staring at. Seth. I looked back at her and gave her a shy smile before walking over to Seth who greeted me with a huge smile. I couldn't help but smile back.
A few days after the fight, we burned the nomad, Randall, and spread his ashes in the ocean.
Then we all went to La Push and buried Nicholas on the beach where his brother, Mark, said he wanted to be buried at when he died. We had a small service and said our goodbyes. I stayed by Seth's side the entire time. He was really close to Nicholas, so it was almost as hard for him as it was for Mark. It was just as bad for me because I was feeling it through Seth. That's what an imprint did between two wolves.
But Seth would get through it. He had me to help him.
