Chapter 16
Why?
Bella's Point of View
I woke up and realized I was in Edward's bedroom. I thought all that had happened was a dream but apparently not because my dress was lying in the floor. It was still dark out and I searched for Edward, but where he should have been there was a note:
Had to go hunting be back later this afternoon and Bella I know not to expect anything, but last night was absolutely amazing. I love you with all of my soul.
Love Edward
I couldn't help but smile; last night was amazing. Every touch every kiss was filled with passion and fire. I sighed and went back to sleep
(Dream)
I'm standing in the middle of the woods surrounded by the Quileutes and I spoke, "I am here to offer you a gift; the gift to transform into wolves to protect your families. I saw the devastation that the vampires caused and I am here to help you. This gift will be passed down from generation to generation to protect your legacy. The choice is yours to take the gift or not."
The chief came up to me, "And if we do not choose the gift what will happen?"
"Your bloodline will die with this generation. I cannot promise that if you take the gift no one will die, but if you don't take it there will be no one left in your tribe by the end of the year." I said. We agreed to meet the next day for them to make their decision.
The next morning the tribe came and the chief spoke, "We have decided the sacrifice of some is worth the preservation of our bloodline. We accept your gift."
I pulled out my athame and cut my hand, "Please those of you who have decided to accept the gift come forward and drink from my blood. The gift is part of me; it flows in my blood and was my gift originally."
The men stepped forward and drank from me and when they were done they felt it coursing through their vein. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the vampire come and lunge for my neck. I felt her rip open my throat and drink from me. As I felt myself fading I witnessed the pack being born and I knew I had done my job. I accepted my death.
I woke up in a sweat and touched my neck. It was tender to the touch and it burned. I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest; yet another flashback brought to you by apparently God.
I sighed, "God if you can hear me I need your help. I know I'm having these dreams because you want me to, but I gotta say I have no clue why you are giving them to me now. Please tell me why I'm having these memories."
I laid back down and went back to sleep; this time the flashbacks were in pieces:
(First flashback)
It is 1666 and I am standing outside a coven of vampires; why God has asked me to do this to a good man I will never know. I know if I do not than the world's fate shall be grim. I see the young blonde man coming around the corner and he comes up to me, "Miss you must get out of here it is not safe."
I smile at him, "What is your name sir?"
He looks at me confused, but replies, "Carlisle Cullen."
I lose my smile, "I am so sorry for this Mr. Cullen, but one day you will understand." He looks at me and tries to speak but it is too late. The vampire comes at him and bites him. Before he can be drained the mob comes and the vampire snaps my neck.
(Second Flashback)
It is 1918 and I am in a Chicago hospital; Spanish Influenza has broken out and I am standing by a woman and her son. She looks at me, "Please help him." She begs.
I lean down to her ear, "I can not help you but the man who is about to come in can. Ask him and he shall save your son." She squeezes my hand and I turn to her son. He is so weak and I hope that he can hear what I say, "You will not understand this now or even for quite sometime, but what is going to happen is meant to be. I apologize for doing this, but it must happen." I kiss his forehead and walk pass Dr. Carlisle Cullen. He doesn't see me nor does he recognize me. I watch from the shadows as the boy's mother begs Carlisle and than dies. He takes the boy and I know what will happen next. I walk out of the hospital I am not to die yet.
(Flash forward 4 years)
It is 1921 and I am at a young woman's house. She has lost her child and is in pain; I cannot help her though. I merely must make sure she is not interrupted. I watch her run out of her house and I follow her and she jumps off the cliff. I look over and see Carlisle taking her. I watch them go and now it is my turn. I feel the earth give beneath me and I fall.
(Third flash back)
I am standing on what looked like a battle ground; it is the civil war. I see a young man approach me, "Miss you need to leave quickly. You shouldn't be here." He is such a polite southern gentleman.
"Sir I was separated from my three sisters and the last I saw they were heading down that road." I pointed him to the east.
"Miss go on and head to the next town I will go find your sisters and bring them to you." he says and tips his hat.
I watch him until I cannot see him any longer; than I feel a bullet pierce my heart.
It is 1891 and I am in an asylum watching a young girl being tortured by visions. Soon she will be alright; her doctor runs up to me, "He is coming what should I do?"
I look at him, "You already know the answer to that my friend. Go now and I will stall him."
He shakes his head, "He will kill you."
I smile, "I know it is what is suppose to happen."
He unlocks the girl's cell and runs with her. I feel a presence behind me and I don't turn around. The vampire puts his hands on my head and everything goes black.
(Final Flashback)
It is 1933 and I am waiting outside a house for a blonde girl to come out. She steps out and the man in the house offers to walk her home, but I use my powers to make her feel calm and at ease so she will decline his offer. She says her goodnights and heads to her home. Sadly she will never make it; she runs into her fiancée and I turn away and shut myself off so I cannot hear her.
(Two years later)
It is 1935 and I see a young man hiking and a bear merely watching him. I walk up to the bear and apologize for what I am about to make it do. I send rage through the bear and watch as he heads towards the young man. When I turn around I see the bear dead and the blonde girl from two years earlier taking the young man away. My job is done and I feel my heart give out.
I woke up or at least I thought I was awake, but I wasn't:
I was in my meadow but Edward wasn't there instead stood a man. He turned towards me, "God?" I asked
He chuckled, "Yes but you can call me Chuck I have always like that name. Come and let's sit and talk."
I walked over to him and sat down, "Why?" was all I could say.
He sighed, "It pained me for that to happen to my children, but it was necessary. Bella when I created you many years ago most of the angels disagreed with my decision so I found a way to hide you to keep you from harm. They would of found a way to destroy you if I had not done so. I had hoped that when you were created they would see that my children were worthy of my love and when they did not I had no other choice than to do that to you. I'm sorry I put you through all that pain, but you always did as I hoped you would. The books have it wrong; yes you helped propel many life altering decisions, but the ones that counted are what you just saw. Your friends are part of the final battle. It was what happened to them that has made them who they are; given them the strength to be able to win this fight. I do not want Lucifer and Michael to fight because if they do than all is lost. You have been and will be they key to all of it. You are good and pure."
I began crying, "How can you say that? I put them through all those terrible things. Rose, Emmett, Esme, Carlisle, and Edward; I hurt them. I sent them to that pain and suffering. How can you say I'm pure and good when I did that?"
He wrapped his arms around me, "I know my child; whenever you felt pain I did, when you felt guilt so did I. It was not fair for me to give you those visions of the future have you decide whether or not to do what was needed. I know the pain and the battle you went through within your heart and I apologize immensely, but you must understand if it had not happened all of this wouldn't exist. Lucifer would have won a long time ago if you had not done those things. Bella you asked me to help you and I am trying, by telling you the truth. Now you must listen carefully; it is almost time for a sacrifice to be made and it will be hard for you, but you must be strong. Can you do that?"
I simply nodded and he kissed my forehead, "Fear not child for all shall be revealed soon. I will leave you a book that will explain everything that must be done. I shall see you soon."
I woke up and beside me was a book. I opened it and began reading.
A/N: So what do you think? I watched the season finale of supernatural again today and I thought that chuck would be good as God since he disappears. Alright so you know the drill; review. I can tell you we are coming to the end of this story, but it isn't really the end. Songs for this chapter:
