BPOV

I set off on my path but stopped instantly. Am I having second thought? No. I've made my decision and I am ready to follow my path. The only thing that makes me stop is that I am the last living faerie and once I'm gone, my race will be extinct. This thought hit me harder and caused me to fall from where I was hovering and drop to my knees. Although I begin to cry because the faeries will be gone forever, I smile in spite of myself. I will be reunited with my family, my friends…my people. I will see them again. I firmly believe that God above (and yes, I do believe in God) has my people waiting for me. I begin to cry even harder, but some of these tears come from happiness.

After kneeling there for a couple more minutes, I get up. Prepared to do what I have to do, I begin to fly again. I stop again as another thought hits me. I'm going to die, but do I really want it to be in some hodge podge place that I don't know? No. If I'm going to die, it's gonna be on my terms. Victoria and Laurent may want to kill me and I may be letting them, but I will die in the one place where I truly felt happy again after so many years of sadness. The Meadow. The meadow was the place where I had told the Cullen's my story and where they had accepted me. The meadow was were Edward and I shared our first kiss. Once upon a time in the meadow, Edward loved me. Oh yes, I do believe with my whole heart that Edward did love me once upon a time, but he fell out of love with me long ago. The meadow was were my heart filled with so much happiness after being alone and depressed for a couple decades that I felt as if I would die of euphoria.

I began to fly again, hoping beyond all hopes that I wouldn't have a sudden brainstorm and stop again. My heart was broken beyond repair and I don't know whether I could continue with this ache in my chest. I was more than ready to be rid of this heartbreak. On my way to me and Edwar- I mean, my meadow, I saw young life all around me. Baby fawns with their mothers, young bunnies learning how to hop, robins and sparrows flying around me singing happy tunes. I smiled slightly at the animals around me, so young and full of life and not a care in the world. No heartbreak no pain, no cheating on your mate. A perfect world where the biggest concern was 'When am I gonna learn how to hop, or fly, or walk?'

An opening ahead grabbed my attention and I sped up until I reached the meadow. It was even more beautiful in the summer than it is in the spring. Summer was always my favorite time of year, what with the swimming, the gardens, the cool summer night breezes, the evening summer rain. At least my death would be during my favorite time of year. "Hello Isabella. We've been following you. Sigh. I was beginning to wonder if you would ever stop and allow us to catch you. After a while Laurent got bored and he decided to just come and get you next time you stop. Sigh. I was beginning to enjoy our little game of tag but Laurent was getting very impatient. I decided to just go along with it. I have been waiting ages to see you again. Why should I wait any longer?" I froze once the first word left her lips, though I smiled slightly. "Hello Victoria. Long time no see."

I turned around with that same smile on my face and saw Victoria and Laurent standing there as casually as if we were discussing tonight's weather. "Laurent, pleasant seeing you again. How's life been for the last couple years since we've seen each other?" Laurent smiled at me. "It's been hard work tracking you down Bella my dear. I've been doing much better these last couple weeks since we've found you." "Yes, I hope I've been giving you trouble. Now, however, you can kill me like you wanted." Victoria surprised me by laughing. "Isabella, Isabella, Isabella. We thought that even you would not be as stupid as to forget our little note on your birthday. We-" "You don't plan to kill me." I said in horror. I can't believe that I had forgotten that little detain. They weren't going to kill me. They want me alive so, but I have no idea why. "Why do you want me alive. Last time we met I was under the impression that you wanted to kill me. I would have thought that surely now, after I killed James," I enjoyed the flash of pain and rage that ran across Victoria's face as I mentioned James' death, "that your hate and thirst for revenge would combine to want me dead. You also want to kill me by sucking me dry to become even more powerful." I waited, watching my words sink in. Victoria looked murderous but Laurent looked amused.

"Bella, you really haven't figured it out yet, have you. We want you alive so that we can give you to the Volturi in exchange for power. As you very well remember, we drank from you last time, and yet, here you are. Still alive today. We plan-" "To drink from me and become more powerful, then hand me over to the Volturi when I'm close to death." "Very good Isabella." Victoria spat out. "You've been catching on very quickly. To bad you didn't catch on to my our little friends mind games on your Edward. Tanya's a very good little tool, isn't she? It's always nice to have the power of seduction, isn't it?"

I stepped back out of shock. "Tanya works for you? She was seducing Edward! The Cullen's have know her family for years. Tanya wouldn't betray the Cullen's. They are like family to her. How did you…" I broke off, lost in thought and confusion. "How did we convince Tanya to crush your little heart? Why, it is really quite simple if you have a friend who can convince anyone to do anything." Gasping in shock, I realize what he's talking about and I say, "You know an influencer vampire?" Laurent looked puzzled for a minute but a smirk played upon his features as he said, "I have no idea what an 'influencer'. I suppose that is some crazy-" "It means a vampire who has the power to influence their will on others for as long as they want in whatever ways they want. I find it easier to give them names that explain what they do. Dur." Victoria stepped forward and sank into a crouch. "Why you insolent little-" "I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you. That's a mean word." Victoria sneered at me. Even in times of peril, I'm still making sarcastic remarks. But I could care less about the influencer vampire. If Tanya was seducing Edward, that means he still loves me! My heart filled with joy and euphoria. I'm not alone in the world, and someone loves me. "You won't be making sarcastic remarks when you're in immense agony, blood almost drained out completely, and in the hands of the Volturi. "What do you mean in pain, last time you sucked my blood I passed out and-"

Third Person's POV

Bella was broken off by the feral snarl that ripped through Victoria's mouth as she launched herself toward Bella. Victoria grabbed Bella's throat and pushed her against a tree so Bella's legs were dangling in the air. "Ah…" A small squeal came out of Bella's mouth. "You really thought that you could get away from me. My revenge against you burns so brightly that it caused me to stop at nothing to find and kill you. My only regret is that now, I'm not going to kill you." Victoria smiled now. "At least I'll be able to suck you almost dry." Victoria threw Bella to the ground and stepped on Bella's leg. A sound like a gunshot rang in the air, followed by Bella's scream of pure agony. "Aw. Poor baby. Do you need a bandage for your boo-boo?" Laurent smiled as he walked slowly over to Bella, who was writhing in pain, and looked down at her as he said, "Too bad the Volturi have to kill you before you could see Edward again." He kicked Bella in the ribs, breaking many of them and puncturing her lungs. Bella began to cough up her clear, sap-like blood. Victoria and Laurent's eyes filled with greed. They began to advance on Bella, their eyes fixated on Bella's blood. "I really do want to continue this little game, I really do. But, alas, your blood is too much of a prize to be wasted on the ground. Maybe you'll pass out again and you won't feel anything! I rather hope not. I'd enjoy to see you suffer even more than I have." Victoria laughed her bell-like baby-like laugh. Bella spit at Victoria and hit her right smack dab in the face. "Sorry to inconvenience you." Bella smirked and closed her eyes. I love you Edward. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. Please, don't forget me. Victoria snarled and grabbed Bella up by the neck. "Wrong move Isabella." Raising her other hand, Victoria punched Bella in her visage, causing Bella's head to snap back. Victoria threw Bella to the ground and proceeded, with Laurent following her lead, to lower her head to Bella's neck. "NO!!" Victoria and Laurent's heads flew back in surprise as they heard Bella utter said 'NO'.

BPOV

My leg was broken, my skull most likely fractured, my ribs broken, and my lungs screaming in protest from trying to breathe. Yet I still somehow managed the strength to yell, "NO!" The raging hate in my heart and mind combined with my complete love and devotion to Edward caused me to snap. From deep within I summoned the fire that kept me going. I gathered a huge breath and screamed bloody murder. I'm going to die, but I might as well take Victoria and Laurent with me. I allowed the fire to fill me completely, blocking out any thoughts of pain. It warmed me from my fingers to my toes, up to my nose. My hands began to shake with the power that was culminating there. I moved my head slightly and saw that a bluish light began to come from my palms. A few second later I heard the slight tingle I always got when the fire began to form. The flames grew bigger and bigger until it was so bright that it blocked out anything else. I could tell I was on the brink of passing out from pain even though I couldn't feel it, and I screamed once more and released the 'phoenix' within me. I saw, through my blurry eyes, Victoria and Laurent running away, but my fire consumed them and I heard their dying screams. Take that, I thought. I felt myself slowly losing consciousness. The last thing I heard was my name being called by an angel, and I saw a white lady smiling at me before I slowly embraced the darkness…
