DO I REALLY WANT REVENGE?
Disclaimer: The Cullens, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.
All of the chapters of this story has been beta'd by the lovely dowlingnana and the chapters with mistakes are being replaced.
It was time to take the oath and have the crown placed upon her head when in the back a cloaked figure arose to say, "You will be charged with treason for elevating a murder to the throne." All turned to see who had spoken. Rising to stand beside the figure were four other people, two on either side of the speaker
CHAPTER 26: EPILOGUE
Bella and Edward stand looking down at the newest member of the family, their baby daughter, Aria, before joining the rest of the family in the small family salon. The love and happiness the two shared radiated from them giving hope and joy to all that were around them.
In the intervening years, their love has grown for each other more and more. But, the memory of the chaos that was caused by the Denali sisters remains fresh in the minds of all that lived it. The stress, fear, lies and the grief they caused no one person or two. Not even three or four, but three countries.
As the couple walked into the room they overheard the discussion that was taking place; the memories of that horrible incident, the feelings of pain, grief, loss, fear, stress, hopelessness and then the surprise, felt by each person and the reasoning behind each action taken. It dawned on Bella and Edward that it was the anniversary of Tanya's almost coronation.
From the moment the cloaked figure had stood and spoke the words, "You will be charged with treason for elevating a murder to the throne." The reaction of everyone present at the coronation was nothing short of shock.
Then Tanya yells, "Arrest those people. How dare you interrupt these proceedings?"
"I dare with the full authority of my name, position and birth right." Says the speaker as the hood covering the face is thrown back and all behold Queen Isabella. As she had removed her hood so did the others with her to show the Noragia rulers and the King of Wystonia.
"But, you all are dead! It was reported back to me that you were dead. Some heads will roll for this slip up. How can you all be alive? The plans were infallible." It was out of her own mouth that the confessions poured. She and her sisters, along with all of the rest of her accomplices were arrested on the spot.
The prisoners were released and the celebrations begin along with the reunions since the Wystonian royals had been allowed admission for the coronation and to witness the death sentence being carried out afterwards.
All of the Denali party was questioned extensively before being passed over into the hands of Wystonian authorities for questioning since King Carlisle had been amongst the threatened. From there they were given over to the Noragian authorities who, it was understood, were not quite so civilized in their questioning methods.
In each country they all had stood trial and found guilty of attempted murder, murder and treason. During the questioning in Noragia it was found that they had even done away with Marshall Everson who had taken them into his home after the death of their parents. The death sentence of treason was handed down at each trial.
So, it was that in Noragia the Denali's and party all came to their end by public torture. A ghoulish way to go in prolonged agony. But, that was the way they dealt with traitors.
After that moment, Edward and Bella announced the coming of their first child which turned out to be children. Twins, a boy, Prince Anthony, and a daughter, Princess Marie. Then later came Prince Thomas and now their daughter the Princess Aria. The intervening years had been good to them and the families have grown larger and closer.
Lady Alice Brandon married Prince Jasper and they were blessed with a son and a daughter.
As well, Lady Rosalie Hale had married Prince Emmett and they were blessed with triplets, all boys.
The Sykes River Project was finished and helped all three countries to flourish with the political relations between all being on good standing and solid ground.
The future looked bright and happiness was the order of the day now and forever more.
THE END.
