You only live twice:
Once when you are born
And once when you look death in the face
- Ian Fleming
I have looked death in the face numerous times. I guess being raised by a family of vampires helped. You never really get used to being in danger so often. I couldn't fault my family for this though. They always protected me.
Being in Twilight even escalated the odds of my survival rate. Would I survive or die? This time, the odds were leaning towards my death. I have never felt more close to death before.
I was always able to run away from danger, but this wasn't something I could run away from. I didn't want to hurt my family. I never wanted to hurt them. But I am hurting them. Solely based on my decision.
This was something that I could not run away from and instead decided to fight it head on. Their opinions matter to me. But, I had to make a decision that I felt was the right one. Even if it hurts them in the process.
I will gladly give up my life if it is to save the ones that I love. I just hope they don't end up hating me in the process.
Breaking Dawn is here. Let's get this show on the road!
