Okay, the last chapter, heartbreaking as it may be, was my favorite by far. I read over it again, and suddenly had an idea, so I started to write quickly. Hope you like it. Don't kill me, please, if there is no happy ending for everyone.
Once I darted out of the house I realized something. Where was I supposed to go? What was I supposed to do? So I stood there in the driveway of the house, wondering. I felt everyone's eyes burning into my back, but refused to turn around. I dropped to the ground, and just sat. Thinking of what I was supposed to do now. Would Tanya and all of them come to meet me? How would they know when I made my choice? I stoop up abruptly.
"TANYA?! YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED! COME AND GET ME! OR DO I NEED TO COME TO YOU?! I'M DONE. YOU WIN!" I screamed to the trees, hearing my voice reverberate through the forest. I didn't expect an answer. So when I got one, from a sugary sweet voice from a strawberry blonde haired vampire, I was stunned. Tanya, Victoria, and Laurent came through the barrier of trees.
"Yes, I do, Isabella. Now hand him over," Tanya sneered. I was completely confused, as well as horrified. WHERE WERE MY KIDS?!?! What happened to the threat of newborns?
"Hold on there. First off, where are my kids?! Secondly, what happened to a threat of newborns?" I asked. Tanya stepped forward.
"You'll get your kids once you hand over what you promised. You did pick the correct demise didn't you? Oh, and the newborns, were just a threat, nothing more. There never were any. Don't think you can defeat us though. You chose this yourself," She said. No, I want my kids, and I want them NOW DAMN IT! But whatever she had up her sleeve, I didn't want to take any chances with.
"Okay, you win. Be happy, with…Edward. Just…just tell me the kids are alright, and that you won't hurt Edward. Please," I pleaded, dropping my head. I heard Victoria snarl. She wanted a fight; she wanted a fight to the death, with me. She wanted to kill me, mate for mate.
"Then get me the ring! And Edward! Hurry up, God you're so slow! It took you so long to decide," she snapped. I nodded, not even bothering with a remark.
I felt terrible for Edward, I was doing this to him, I was only hurting him. I turned around, looking at the faces contorted in hurt, pain, anger, and sorrow, and walked slowly towards them. I didn't dare look at Edward; too much hurt.
I stood in front of him, looking down at his closed hand. He tilted my head up to him, making me look at him. His eyes her burning with love, and everything we had shared. Everything I didn't want to see. All the hurt I've caused, pain. He kissed me sweetly, longing for more time. I snaked one arm around his waist, and we both walked towards Tanya. He dropped the ring into my hand on the way. I showed no emotion, not wanting to show them how much they hurt me with this.
Tanya reached forward, motioning to hurry up. I stepped in front of Edward, 2 feet from her. I grabbed her hand, and dropped the, my ring, as it will always be, into her open palm. Turning around, I took Edward's hand and tugged him to where I stood. He wouldn't move any further. I leaned up to whisper in his ear. "I know this is hard, trust me, it's worse for me than it is for you. But we don't want her to get ticked off, who knows what she'll do. I love you, Edward. Now please, go….go on." He turned his emotionless eyes towards me, silently nodded, said, "I love you, Bella. Always." With that, he stepped forward to her.
Tanya grinned evilly, and turned to me. "Now what to do with little, broken, Bella?" she taunted, walking around me. I refused to break. Was this a joke, a trick to get me to do something else? Laurent and Victoria advanced until they stood by my sides. I looked between them, they both grinned. What are they doing? I wondered.
