Ch14 Amazing Grace
Embry POV
It had been three days since we sent the message to the Volturi. Adram had been a wreck it looked like he really had lost a son and I guess in a sense he had. He and Collin had a father son relationship. I am a little worried about him though it almost seems as though he's lost it. Today was Collins funeral today is the day we will all be able to say goodbye to our fallen brother. Here I am in front of a mirror a black suit on Adram right behind me in the same black suit. I look at him through the mirror and you could see tears in his eyes ready to fall.
Then I look at myself and realize I have the same pained look the same sorrow in my eyes. "Are you ready babe?" he whispers low. I just nod my head and turn to look at him and take his hand squeezing it lightly. He forces a smile and we walk down stairs to see everyone in all black tears in their eyes loss written on their face. "It's time to go say goodbye." Adram said softly Brady was the only one not here he was with his mom and dad.
We all get into our cars and head out to the funeral. The car ride was quiet no words where needed today was a day of mourning and silent prayer. Adram had put a lot of money into the funeral Collin and Brady's mom and dad accepted the money and suggestions Adram put in. They knew of their relationship and how much Collin loved him and him loved Collin. We arrived at a huge open field where we bury our chiefs and important members of the tribe aka the wolves.
The last person to be buried here was Ephraim Black. I looked around and saw that all of La Push was here as was most of Forks. Elders and other shifters from close by tribes also showed up to show there respect. Everyone was seated and waiting for the funeral to begin Adram, Brady, John (Collin and Brady's dad), Seth, Sam, and Paul where caring the casket. I took my seat up front next to the family, wolves and imprints. And the funeral began. The La Push High marching band was stationed around the mourners. The music began and when I heard it I broke as did everyone around me.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
Jared POV
Kim held on to me tight as I stood up and looked back to see my fallen brother being carried by the closest people in his life and mine. To say this hurt was an understatement he was young and had so much to live for. He was my brother my friend. I look around for a moment and saw a little over a hundred people id say and it infuriated me. What right do these people have to cry over a man they didn't even know what right did they have to be here? I calmed down and looked back at the casket coming down the walkway the ban blaring in the back ground Leah, Bella, Arianna, and Anna singing Amazing grace and it was filled with so much emotion so much pain yet a little joy knowing that our brother is with our ancestors and is finally free and happy. The boy... this man they are caring down the walk way was a hero a true hero. All these people will never know what he did day after day they will never know the countless times he saved their lives.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Brady's POV
Here I am caring my only brother down a walkway to his grave to his everlasting rest. I stand tall and proud to be caring him the pain in my heart is like nothing I have ever felt before its loss pain sorrow suffering and loneliness all in one. Tears in my eyes I continue to walk as I remember all me and my brother did. Our camping trips we took with our mom and dad the last time was before we shifted Collin had gotten lost we all panicked but it turned out he had found this lake not too far from camp and fell a sleep there.
I was so happy he was ok I didn't take my eyes off him the rest of the trip. Then there was all the birthdays they weren't much being on the reservation didn't exactly make you rich but our mom and dad tried so hard to give us everything we needed we had nice sized parties and no matter what Collin got you could always see the happiness in his eyes the joy he always held. I began to cry more as I realized I will never see that again. I'll never be able to tell my brother I love him ever again or teas him about how he never had a girl friend I can't sit there and play video games with him no more. He's gone he is really gone today will be the last day I can say goodbye to my brother. The tears flowed harder as we got closer to the hole in the ground.
I don't know if I can say goodbye.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
Paul's POV
First I loss my mom and dad now a boy who was like a brother to me... so much has been taken away from me but as close as I was to Collin I couldn't imagine how Brady felt how much this hurt. He had never really lost anyone close to him before so he must be taking this hard. Then there was dad he hasn't been the same since that day. He looks as distraught as John in a way he has a right to be Collin was his son for all intent and purposes. I walk down this walkway tears in my eyes and I listen to the girls sing. May you rest in peace my brother you will always be my family my brother my friend you will always hold a place in my mind and heart. Goodbye and say hello to my mom and dad for me please.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Adram's POV
Why couldn't I save him he did not disserve to die like this it should have been me not him. "You know as well as I do dad that it was fate." I heard Collins voice it was like a whisper and that did it the tears cam faster I was barely holding myself up and moving forward. Why god of all the people in the world why him he was one of the kindest people ever so full of hope and life.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
We reached the sling that the casket was to be placed on and as soon as we let go me and John fell to our knees and balled our eyes out. Linda Collin and Brady's mom cam and held onto John as they both cried and Embry did the same with me. I cried so hard I had lost my son Embry slowly lifted me to my feet and brought me to my chair between John and him. I couldn't stop crying. It was too much for me to handle at once.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Then I remembered something all the feelings he had before he passed all the memories flashed before me again and I remembered how he felt the peace the freedom and I pushed it out to everyone who knew of my gift the elders the wolves the other pack John and Linda. I let it all lose as the felt it as we all realized that our brother is no longer hurting that he is free we all stood even the elders everyone was shocked as Billy attempted to get up and pushed anyone away who tried to help him. He stood on his own two feet and as the casket of a man who sacrificed his life for all those in this world who gave everything to keep people safe we all saluted the wolf's elders imprints the other pack and other elders.
We saluted because the man going down was a hero a soldier a true worrier. Then we all got on one knee including Billy and began to sing along with the girls soon everyone joined in. as soon as the song was over and he was fully in the ground I walked over with John Linda and Brady as we all dropped a white rose into his grave we whispered our goodbye and I love you. "Collin I know you can hear me I just wanted to let you know you will always have a place in my heart you will always be my son and I will see you again one day little buddy... Goodbye.". I smiled sadly as I walked to my car Embry in my arms.
