Twilight and New Moon belong to Stephenie Meyer.

So I had written the last chapter and left out a little tiny miniscule detail that everyone noticed. So here you go everyone, I told you I would fix it, and I did! And I think this is going to be some people's new favorite chapter! Enjoy!


I couldn't find the power within me to move. Brendon had kidnapped me, changed me, annoyed me to no end, and had almost ruined my life. But he had also given me my new life, a new chance to take back what I had lost. Brendon had killed me, but saved me at the same time.

These thoughts wound through my head as the reality of the situation slowly sank in. Brendon had just been ripped apart and thrown over a cliff. He was gone.

It was then something in me cracked. The things I had been holding back for a long time, the anger, the frustration, the hurt, all suddenly sprang forth from a well deep inside me. My anger flared, and a growl erupted from my chest. Not like the warning growl I had given to Brendon at one time. This was a war cry, a call to battle. I felt the monster inside of me stir, and I welcomed it, and let it control me.

I lunged at Victoria. She was not expecting this response, and I caught her off guard. I knocked her over with such force that the rock beneath her shattered. Laurent grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I grabbed onto his wrist and snapped it.

The rest of the battle is something of a blur. I was so given over to my instinct that my memories and human thoughts no longer were in control. Either that or the scene was so horrible that my mind blocked the memories from me. I do remember being hit by Laurent and flying near the cliff edge. I didn't go over, but it was close. I remember biting Laurent's neck, and pulling off someone's arm. I remember, after Laurent was dead, Victoria made a run for it. She eluded me for awhile, but I eventually found her. I remember that she said James' name, right before I ripped her to shreds.

Before I left the house, Lilly had told me that to actually kill Laurent and Victoria I would have to burn the bodies. She had given me a pack of matches, so I started on lighting a fire with the branches I had knocked off of trees during the fight. I threw their bodies in with out a second glance then walked away as the smoke started to fill the air.

It was now that I walked to the cliff edge and looked over. The drop was enormous; the shear height would have caused a normal person to become dizzy. But I was no longer normal. I began to scale the cliff, moving down slowly and carefully. I was no climber, but with my strength I was able to get a good grip on the rock wall. Even if one arm slipped, my strength allowed me to hold on. It wasn't easy, but it worked. The sun set, and I climbed in complete darkness for the night. When it rose again, I still hadn't reached the bottom, and I was getting impatient. So I let go.

Falling from a cliff edge was a lot different then falling down the center of a staircase in a hotel. To begin, a cliff is bigger than a stairwell, so there's a lot more room to fall. I had made it pretty far down the cliff side, but it was still quite a drop. I realized with dread that I was being an idiot, and I reached out grab onto the cliff again. Unfortunately, I had fallen away from the rock, and could no longer reach it. I braced myself for impact with the ground just before I landed. It didn't hurt me as much as it hurt the ground. The rock shattered beneath me, forming a small crater where I landed.

I stood up slowly and looked at my surroundings. A river was flowing not ten yards from me. It was there that I saw Brendon's body. It was lying half on the ground, his legs dangled in the river. I saw that the fingers on his remaining hand had twitched. I shuddered, but resisted the urge to run. I began to look for his head. The crazy idea had come to mind that I could put him back together, like the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

But the problem was that I couldn't find the rest of him. I looked for quite some time, I even went a little downstream, but I couldn't find anything. I realized with horror that I had taken such a long time to get down the cliff, that Brendon's head had probably floated so far downriver by now that it would be impossible to find.

A finger twitched again, but otherwise Brendon's body was still. I reached down and picked up his hand. For a second, my vision went blurry, and I saw my face, still human, when I came to school the first day in Jacksonville. The vision of the past was fleeting, but strong.

It was at that moment that I returned to reality. Everything that had just happened, everything I had just done, it all settled on me in a single instant. It was like gravity had lessened on me, only to return in full force. I knew what I had to do. I took Brendon's body and, starting a new fire with the last of my matches, burned it. When all that was left of the fire was ashes, I gathered them up and walked to the river. I let the ashes flow through my fingers into the water. This was the only proper burial I could give him. Maybe it would mean something to him and his family.

I stood there for awhile, and watched the river flowing. Memories of Brendon flowed through my mind, and I thought about the last real words he said to me. He had promised that he would never let any harm come to me, and that he knew I would never love him the way he loved me. His words were true; I could never truly love him. But he had been what I needed most at the time, to the very end he had been a true friend. But eventually I became conscious of the fact that I had to climb the cliff to get back up to the top, and I started toward the rock wall.

The climb took a long time, perhaps a day, perhaps more. I focused on nothing but climbing. When I eventually did reach the top, I found the remains of Victoria and James' fire. I spat on it as I walked by. I retraced my steps to find myself on another cliff. Brendon's arm was still lying there, not moving at all. I reached down and picked it up. I had run out of matches, so I would have to burn it when I reached home. I stopped then and thought for a moment; where was my home now?

But I was too tired to think about that. So, I walked back to the house. I didn't feel like explaining this to anyone, so I took my time walking. The sun set and the birds slowly returned. Even in the dark, I found my way. The stars seemed to shine very brightly, but I hardly noticed them at all. I just stared at the ground and walked on. The lights of the house came into focus, and I walked up to the front door without seeming to tell my feet where to go. I heard voices inside, but they didn't matter to me. Everything was very bizarre and unreal, like the world was a horrible reality I had never truly experienced before.

I opened the door and stepped inside, turning around to shut the door behind me. As the lock clicked shut, I heard a voice behind me, a voice I never thought I would hear again.

"Bella?"

The voice was beautiful. It was soft and velvety, but out of breath, like someone had just taken all the air out of it. I was shocked, and I replayed its sound in the silence following it. It was the most wonderful sound in the world to me. I turned slowly, not even sure if the voice I heard was real.

But there they were, my family, the family I left behind, the Cullens, in all their perfection, sitting in front of me, mouths agape, eyes wide. And standing in front of all of them was my whole world, my reason for existing at this moment. Edward stood there, more perfect than any memory of him that I could conjure.

I looked at myself, thinking of what they must see. Here I was, a new vampire, clothes torn and dirty, smelling like smoke, carrying a severed arm. What must they think? Edward whispered my name again, but I barely heard it. It was too much. Seeing them was too much, seeing him was too much, everything was too much to handle.

I collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, my dry eyes not shedding a tear. I continued to sob, even when I felt cold arms wrap around me.
