Chapter 19. A new ending.

*Elaina's POV

Maria Robinson once said, 'Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.' That is what I decided to do. I cant go back in time and tell my parents not to go to Volterra. I cant make Aro let us go. I cant go back and make Gianna stop hurting me. I cant stop all the times the male vampires would watch me bathe. I cant change all the things that brought me this pain.

I cant change my parents death.

I cant change the past.

But I can change the ending. I can change my future. My past wasn't all bad. My past gave me Karen. My past gave me the Cullen family. My past brought me to Taylor. My past taught me what love is, and that it is rare. But I found love in Taylor.

So that is why I am on this plane that is heading for Volterra. I am going to change my ending by going back to my past.


"Elaina? We weren't expecting you for another few weeks. You wouldn't happen to know where Demetri is do you?" Felix asked as I entered the tunnel. I may not have been here for nearly 12 years but I knew my way around Volterra perfectly. "Hello Felix. I am here early. And yes Demetri is with Karen."

"Ah. Well my friend I will bring you to the masters now. Right this way." Felix motioned for me to walk ahead of him. I didn't like that. He was one of the men who like to watch me. But I kept my head high. This was going to happen.

We walked through the dark tunnel for what seemed like forever. Then finally we came to some light. We went through some rooms and then the one that looked like a waiting room. "Please wait here. I will go tell the masters." Felix said walking into the large room.

I stared at the desk where I knew Gianna used to work. Now there was a pretty young human woman working there. She had a smile on her face as she looked at me. "Is there anything I can do for you ma'am?" She asked nicely. I shook my head slowly. There was nothing I could do for her.

I could have told her to run, but if she tried they would just kill her. I don't know how she got to be in this wretched place but I knew she could never leave. I wonder if she knows her fate as I do?

I heard the large doors open and saw Felix stick his head out. "Come on." He said as I stood up and walked into the room. As I looked around I realized it had not changed a bit. Not even the white faces had changed. There were more than when I was here last but it was still the same.

In front of me was the three thrones that sat the three men; Marcus, Aro, and Caius. "Hello my dear child! So nice of you to visit us." Aro said sanding up and walking over to me. He grabbed my hand and kissed my check.

"You have grown my child. I am sorry to hear about your parents, but you are not yet 18. And I promised your parents." I grabbed his hand.

I don't care what promise you made to them. Change me now. I thought to him. I just kept thinking that if I changed into a vampire I just might forget all my human memories. And that was all I wanted; to forget.

"I understand my child. Alright. You will be changed. Felix please take Elaina to the dining chamber. Jane will be able to change her there." He ordered. "Yes master." Felix said while motioning me to follow him. I heard Aro say behind me, "And Jane dear, please try not to kill her. She is important."

My whole body shook. This was going to be painful. But it was worth it. I closed my eyes as Jane walked closer to me with a grin oh her face. The last thought that went through me before the burning started was Taylor's face. What was I doing? I didn't want to forget him. But I could not think about that anymore as the burning pain shot through my body.

And then there was nothing but darkness.


The pain was gone. I started to see light. It must have been three days. It seemed like forever. My eyes fluttered opened. I could see everything! I felt strength surge through my body. I stood up and looked around. "Elaina you turned out marvelously!" Aro exclaimed. For the first time I could really see his skin and everything on him.

I nodded slowly. Much to my disappointment I remembered everything of my human life. I got very mad too. Then, I had to ask the question that was burning inside me.

"Papa Aro." Aro had made me call him that when I was living with him. "Yes my child?" He said smiling at me. "Who killed my parents?" I know someone from the Volturi killed them. Just then I heard the large door open. And the monster walked in.

"Hello Elaina. Tell your parents I said hi. Oh wait. You cant because I killed them." All emotions were gone from my but one; pure hatred. I started shaking uncontrollably. Then there was a bright light that burst from inside me. It covered everyone in the room and they were frozen. Then I split into multiples. Thousands of myself that looked transparent went and started killing them all.

Then I walked over to Gianna. I was shining as bright as the sun. "You tortured me. You took my childhood away from me. You killed my parents. You will feel all the pain of all the innocent people you have hurt. They will not have mercy on you like did not have mercy on them."

I did not know what I saw doing, But I knew how to do it. And them all the ghost like figures that looked like me turned into people I have never seen. But somehow I knew they were all her victims. They began torturing her. There were thousands of them. And then I saw my parents. They were holding hands and smiling.

I walked to them and they pulled my into a hug. "We are always here Ellie. Taylor is a good man. Be happy." My mother told me. "Daddy has missed you so much my baby. I never wanted to leave you. But now it is time for you to be with the family you belong with." He said and pointed to the Cullen family who were walking in and fighting against the Volturi.

I turned to my parents and smiled at them. "I love you." I said and I knew if I could I would be crying. "Go to him my daughter. And remember; Never let go." My mom said as she turned me around in the direction of Taylor. The Volturi was dead now and I could hear Gianna scream out in pain. They were taking their time.

I walked to Taylor and he was staring at me. "Elaina, Elaina! It's your turn! Finish her off!" I saw a small child say to me. She looked no older than four years old. I nodded to her and took her hand. "I'm gonna make the monster go away now okay?" The little girl nodded her. I walked over to Gianna and everyone moved to make way for me.

I could see in her eyes they faces off all who she killed. And all it took for me to kill the monster who had been torturing me for 14 years, was by touching her with the tip of my finger. She inhaled sharply then fell to the floor and turned to ash.

Suddenly all that was in this large room were dead bodies, the Cullen family, Karen, Demetri, and myself.

Then the light in me vanished and I fell to the floor and darkness overtook me.


A/N OMJ!!! So….Yeah I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know it was a bit confusing but I am gonna try and clear all that up on the next chapter. And I hope you guys were not mad at Gianna dieing. It's just in her 100+ years of vampire life she tortured and killed over half a million people between the ages of 1 and 76. She showed no mercy to any kind of life and had no heart for the young. Like Elaina had said in one of the first chapters; Gianna let go of her heart before she was even turned. I know all of you can not possibly see this story as I do and that makes me sad. Because I see it so clearly.

Anyway I cried writing this chapter. I hope you guys understand it. Anyway so yeah that's about it. Please review and tell me how confused you are and I will try to PM you and explain thing better there. Thanks so very much! And God bless!
