At the end of this portion of my story, all is well. The divorce went through without a hitch. Mark and I didn't fight over anything, so it was a simple and inexpensive affair. Emmett did a better job than I would have given him credit for. Mark's lawyer, who happened to be someone named Jasper Hale, did an awesome job as well. In fact, once the papers were signed and everything was finalized, we all gathered in the living room and played some games on the Nintendo Wii. I'm sorry to say that I broke a controller with my new found strength… but luckily Alice saw it coming and had already bought a new one. I gave Mark a hug when he left, and made him promise to call and write.
Mark and Angela left to attend Washington State University together. Somebody had to take my place in the apartment. Alice and Rose went with them to collect my things.
Edward, true to his word, hasn't left my side once since my transformation. The only times are when I tell him to go away – like when I go take a "human moment," as I still call them, and tell him to wait in the room. He obeys… sometimes.
Instead of saying that I was sick and couldn't go back to school with Mark, I just told them the truth. Mark and I aren't married anymore, and so I didn't want to go to school there anymore. I said I would take the rest of the year off and apply somewhere else in the fall. They weren't happy, but there wasn't much they could really do.
While we were talking during the next year, Mark and I decided, with some input from Angela and Edward, that we should have a joint wedding. Our wedding took place in Forks in a little chapel. The only people we invited were our family and close friends. Alice, Rosalie, and Esme had a lot of fun planning and decorating for the wedding. I made sure I was well fed the day of the wedding. Because of my aversion to blood as a human, I'm not really tempted by blood at all, but I didn't want to take any chances. Besides, I wanted my eyes to be the lovely topaz color that they had finally turned. Gone were the days when I wore my brown contacts. My parents thought that I had bought contacts so that I could look like the Cullens!
My parents did wonder what had happened to me. They wondered about my change in appearance. I didn't tell them, and I didn't give them many opportunities to ask. If they did ask, I merely changed the subject. What they didn't know couldn't hurt them.
The Volturi did come, exactly a month after my transformation. They sent Demetri and Jane to find out if I was a vampire yet, and they seemed surprised that I actually was. Jane seemed a little disappointed. I still shudder to think of what she would have done to my family had I still been human.
Victoria is still with the family. We, as a family, are discussing if we should move to Alaska or not. Carlisle has a few years left before he has to move on to avoid suspicion. A doctor that never ages and looks like he's only in his twenties when he's claiming mid-thirties gets a little suspicious. Another reason why we want to move is because of Victoria and me. Victoria is still new to the diet of animals, not humans, and I'm still a new vampire. Alaska would present less temptation for both of us. Victoria doesn't mind living in Forks – she can't go out in public anyway, to avoid questions, and if she isn't around humans then she isn't tempted. But we're thinking about moving anyway. We'll either start high school again or I have the option of finishing college first.
Edward and I are trying to decide of we should travel a little. I've never really been out of the U.S., and he wants me to see the world. I told him that we have an eternity to see the world, and that I don't care what we do as long as I'm with him. Emmett and Jasper, who just happened to be passing our room at that particular moment, gagged and made a comment about how we needed to get a room.
"We're in our room, dimwits!" I called back at them, which started a wrestling match.
Did you know that I can actually beat Emmett at wrestling?
He claims it's because he was going easy on me.
Edward claims that it's because I'm still a new vampire, so I still have extra strength.
Jasper kept his mouth shut. He was the smart one.
All in all, my life is good. Sure, we have a few problems every once in a while, but on a whole, life is perfect. It's been two years since that fateful Christmas break when my life got twisted, turned, thrown in a blender and poured out in a completely different form. It's hard to believe.
Thus ends this part of my life story. As for the rest of my story? You may get to hear it, you may not. Mythical creatures don't always get to tell the end of their stories, and, after all, I have eternity to make mine. Maybe something interesting will happen, but then again, maybe not. Perhaps you'll still be alive to hear more of my happy ending.
The End
