"I didn't think I would ever be able to get to you." She grinned maliciously at me.

A couple of months ago I might have been petrified to be so near her but I almost welcomed the death I knew she was planning for me. I would be freed from all this pain and more importantly I would be reunited with my daughter. I didn't fight her when she grabbed me and dragged me through my bedroom window. She carried me as she ran to her waiting car. She shoved me into the car and then we sped away from Charlie's.

She finally stopped on the edge of the Quiluetes territory. She grabbed me and ran up the steep cliffs I knew well. Jacob and the others used to cliff dive off them. When we reached the top level she held me close to the edge.

"I had planned on drawing this out but those damned wolves are too smart and quick. I wish Edward could be here to watch me kill you, like he killed my James."

I snorted. "He wouldn't care. He left me a long time ago."

She tilted her head and watched me curiously. "I saw how he protected you. You were his one true mate. Vampires don't stop loving that easily."

"I guess I wasn't really his mate then because he left. I wasn't good enough for him."

"It doesn't really matter I guess. He killed James to protect you. Now I will kill you as vengeance for James." She stopped talking and turned her head quickly. "My time is almost up. Thank you for being so cooperative." She pushed me closer to the edge of the cliff.

I looked down, it wasn't the side Jacob and the pack usually jumped off of. This was the opposite side. The bottom of this side was covered in large boulders and rocks that the water flowed in between, I wouldn't survive the fall. My body would shatter once it hit the huge rocks below. I heard a wolf howl, Victoria gave me one last push and I let myself fall backwards. Closing my eyes and holding my arms out away from myself, I embraced death like an old friend. I hit the bottom and only felt pain for a second before my body was numbed. My eyes became heavy and I could feel my heartbeats becoming sluggish.

I felt a coldness wrap around me and lift my broken body off the rocks. My body finally matched my heart. I hung limply in the arms of whatever was carrying me to shore. "Stay with me Bella. Don't you dare give up."

The darkness was closing in on me slowly. The voice started off commanding but then began pleading with me to fight. But I didn't want to fight. There was nothing to fight for. My heart stuttered and I knew the end was near. Emmie was there beside me.

"Emmie, Mommy's coming." I smiled at my beautiful little girl.

"Bella, don't you dare leave me!" Jacob's angry voice cut through my consciousness.

I felt my face frown. I didn't understand why Jacob would be so upset. I would be with our daughter. He had moved on and our marriage, we both agreed, was over. Emmie walked farther away. I wanted to follow her but something was holding me back. My heart stuttered again and I stopped breathing for a minute or a second I couldn't tell. Something hit me and I took a very shallow breath. I could hear people talking around me but I couldn't make out the words. My body started to feel weightless and Emmie was within my reach again. I smiled at her. "Emmie" I barely whispered.

I breathed a final shallow sigh of relief, I let my eyes close as I felt the final pull of death. I was ready. Then something sharp pierced the skin of my neck and instead of drifting away with my daughter I was hot, so hot. Slowly the fire spread until I thought I was going to melt away. I screamed and begged for someone to make it stop. To let me die so I could be with my daughter.
