Carlisle and his coven are on the hunt and I am the quarry! I can be a Cullen no more, it is impossible to return and attend the family meeting he plans on frog marching me into.
No, no. It will not do! Death is a far preferable option.
I have been hounded by them, hot on my heels for the last five days. If I can shake them from my tail, I shall hasten to Volterra and end this sham of existence once and for all. Losing my reliquary was the coup de grâce, all has been obliterated and my heart is eternally shattered. I shall never recover from this.
'Tis better to end this conclusively, enough prevaricating Edward- this time you really must follow through! The family meeting is a fate worse than death!
Oh god! They are close now! I can hear them! The devils have me surrounded and are closing in!
La tristesse durera toujours.
