Chapter 47
"Edmund has magic?" Edward said, stunned. I turned around to face him. He was leaning against the wall, struggling to stand up. His whole body was bruised and bloody, but I could see that it was already beginning to heal. He would be okay. "My son has magic?" he muttered, still shocked.
I ran over to him, and quickly shoved myself under his arm, helping to support his weight. "I was going to tell you. I'm sorry," I said, glancing up at him. I think he was more surprised than angry.
Edmund ran over to Edward and wrapped his arms around his leg. "Dad, you're okay."
"I'm all right," he assured him.
I looked around the meadow then. Most of the druids had been taken out. There were, however, still a few of them that were winning against our pack.
"I have to help them," I said, turning to Edward. He nodded, and I turned to Edmund. "Stay with your Dad," I warned him. Then, I ran to help my pack.
There were five Druids left. It didn't take me long to kill them, I was much stronger than any of them were. The strange thing was I didn't recognise a single one of them. They were all strangers. My father must have been recruiting fresh blood for years. Perhaps he knew that it would come down to another fight, especially after he kidnapped me from my home.
When it was over, and all the fighting had stopped, I returned to my family, wrapping my arms around Edward and Edmund and holding onto them as if my life depended on it. I couldn't stand the thought that I had almost lost them. They were my life, my reason for living and I would make sure nothing ever separated us again.
Jasper counted the numbers. We had lost ten of our own and many more were injured, but we were now free. There would be no more running or hiding. We could live out our days in peace. I thought it was a small price to pay for such freedom, but we would never forget our dead. I would find a way to honour them and make the memory of them live on.
After burying the ones we lost and treating our injured, we set fire to the house and returned home. Where we tried to live as normal a life as we could, but it took longer for some wounds to heal than others. Betrayal was a hard thing to overcome, but in time we eventually did.
The pack even learned to accept Edmund and me as hybrids under Edward's guidance. He was a great Alpha. One that I knew they would be talking about for generations to come, and I was honoured to rule by his side.
The End.
A/N: So, this is pretty much it. I will write an eppy or two over the weekend, but other than that we are done. I want to thank every single one of you for taking this ride with me. Writing Eclipse has been a lot of fun and that was because of my interactions with all you guys. So, thank you! Honestly, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you x x x
