The last chapter. Enjoy. Sorry for the delay.
Oh, and watch for my next story.
Linkin Park – Forgotten: "In the memory you'll find me, eyes burning up, The darkness holding me tightly, until the sun rises up."
Chapter Twenty-Six—Present Day/Epilogue
And so now, I am standing here, in my biology class. I managed to find some rope that we used in a project back in November…Edward was my partner… Edward…
I stand on a chair and tie the rope to the emergency fire sprinklers, then tie the end in a noose and slip it over my head. I wish I weren't crying…It'd make things easier to concentrate on…
Life is worth nothing, anymore. Without Edward Cullen, I am a wreck. There is nothing left for me here…
And since it is my fault that he and Alice are dead, I must pay the price.
I take a deep breath and kick the chair out from under me.
Scottie's neck broke the instant she left the chair. She should have died that very instant, but God had more in store for her.
The weak emergency sprinkler gave way, and she fell to the floor, inches from death. The fall cracked her skull and broke her leg, but she still was not dead. She managed to turn herself over and stare at the ceiling as she died.
Just before the Angels took her, Edward and Alice entered the room, with Malikai's blood on their hands.
Scottie lived her werewolf life for a year, and never once did she perform her transformation. No human discovered her secret. Raab used her in his teachings, and within five years, she was a werewolf legend.
She'd lost it all, and died in the name of love. But in the end, it didn't even matter, for she always lived on in Edward's heart. It was all she could have ever wanted, or needed.
Malikai had been lying all along. He did, however, count to fifty, and started toward the school, when Edward and Alice arrived. Furious, they tore him to shreds and took a lighter to him. There was no coven, and the piece of cloth was where Alice had ripped her shirt running through the woods.
Raab was sought out by Alice, who informed him of the incident. He grieved, and blamed himself for her death to a minor point. He left the country, and was never heard from again, although it was rumored that he assisted newly transformed werewolves in their beginning stages of their new life.
The Cullen/Hale family grieved over Scottie's death. They funded a staged funeral, but buried her at the top of the waterfall, where Edward first confessed his love for her by means of a kiss.
Edward left the country and went to Italy. He stayed there for the rest of his life, in a small flat, and never loved for anyone again. He went to visit her grave every weekend, but never returned to Forks.
Linkin Park – In The End: "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall and lose it all, but in the end, it doesn't even matter."
