A/N: So I deliberated a lot about this because this was my first story that I've been working on for a long time and so it was really hard for me to find a way to end it partially because I didn't want to. I'm not sure if I'll make a sequel or not. For right now this is the last chapter to a story I have enjoyed writing over the years.
Kol
After a while she fell asleep on me and I was relieved she was with me. I'm glad I listened to Jasper because he was right. Bella had gotten used to doing everything by herself. Even if the people were right next to her helping her, she still felt alone. I was glad I came because it gave her a peace of mind. She knew she wasn't alone and would never be again. We could live and be a family. She accepted my help because she no longer felt she had to do everything by herself. I took her back to Sam's house. When we arrived Ellie came out.
Is Mommy okay?
I smiled at her.
"Yes Mommy is okay." I said.
Really?
I smiled and nodded my head.
"She's just tired Ellie. Let's go snuggle Mommy in bed." Ellie launched herself at us.
She landed on Bella's chest and snuggled up to her wrapping her little arms around her neck. I took her to the bedroom and set her on the bed. Ellie snuggled next to Bella and I slipped in next to them. My girls were safe and that's all I could ask for.

Bella
I was standing in an open field filled with flowers that I recognized almost instantly. I turned around and found hundreds of witches and vampires. I didn't understand what was going on or why they were here.
"Why am I here?" Alan stepped forward.
He smiled at me, "your friend will be just fine, Bella. She will become the vampire she was supposed to be. A heretic. She will be awake when you wake up."
I smiled back, but I feared his reason for being here.
"Why am I here?" He nodded.
"Ever the intuitive witch, Bella. I am here because this is my final goodbye for a long time. You have come into your own, a witch shapeshifter. You have done so much in your short life, Bella. The battle is done for now. One day danger will come knocking on your door. Which you already know, but you will be ready when it does. You are an amazing witch Bella and you have proven that time and time again. May you and your family be happy for a very long time." I smiled at him.
"Thank you, Alan," he shook his head, "it is us who owes you great thanks. These witches and vampires are the relatives of those you have helped. If you hadn't decided to leave Forks in the first place none of us would have lived. So thank you Bella, for everything. This is farewell for a long time. Along with one final gift."
A leather bound book appeared in front of me and I quickly realized it was a grimoire. I gasped in surprise and took it into my hands. The book opened and I saw an entire family tree and a list of names.
"The Gemini coven tree and the names of all the souls you saved by going back in time. That is a mixture of spells from everyone here. Use it well, Bella." I looked up at Alan and saw that everyone else was gone except for Alan.
"Thank you so much. For everything." He nodded and vanished.
I held the grimoire against my chest and looked up at the sky knowing that everything would be okay. Knowing Alice would survive, that the rest of the Cullens would be reborn, and that I would live for a long time with Kol and Ellie and the rest of my family made me happy. Everything I had been through wasn't for nothing. It led me to this moment. Where everything would be okay.

Kol
There was a knock on the door and I started to get up to answer, but Bella had beat me to it. I heard Sam on the other side.
"Alice and Jasper are at the treaty line. They want to see you." Bella looked back at me.
I smiled at her and nodded my head. She smiled back at me.
"Thank you." She sprinted from the room and I knew that we would be okay.
Bella
I hadn't bothered with the fact that I would need a change of clothes. I shifted and ran towards the treaty line. Once I arrived I barked and got Jaspers and Alice's attention. Alice smiled at me and nodded. Tears filled my eyes and I rushed up to them. I jumped up licking Alice and Jasper. They both laughed.
"Okay Bella. Down. We want to talk before we leave." I got down and tilted my head at them.
"Bella," I looked at Jasper, "we will come back. We just want to spend some time traveling the world. Let Alice get used to these new powers. Maybe go to a certain school for supernatural creatures."
I yipped. Alice knelt down in front of me. She held my face in her hands.
"I love you so much Bella, and I am so happy that things worked out. One day we will come back, but we want it to be us for a while. We survived a war and I survived saving you. We have a lot to learn and want to see the world. We'll be back, but for now we have to learn how to live again. Do you understand?" I barked in response.
I could feel tears gathering in my eyes. I pressed my head against her chest.
I'll miss you.
"We'll keep in touch, Bella. You are our little sister and Ellie will never let us stay away for too long. You'll have your hands full with that one." I harrumphed and Alice laughed.
I stood and pulled away from them. I tilted my head and bowed my head to them.
Be happy, both of you. Don't be strangers or the first time Ellie transports to you, you will be in charge of bringing her back.
I heard Jasper chuckle, "not a problem, Bella. We need to get going, but thank you for everything."
I nodded and closed my eyes. Arms wrapped around me. A hand wiped away my tears from my fur.
"It's okay to be sad, Bella, but I promise you we will be back." I nodded.
I know you will. Just don't be strangers okay?
"We won't Bella. We promise." I pulled away and nodded at them.
They stood and waved. Then they were gone and I howled a goodbye before I made my way back home. I came through the trees and saw Kol and Ellie waiting for me. I ran up to them and ran around them in circles.
"Is that Mommy?" I barked and sat in front of Kol nuzzling Ellie with my nose.
She screeched, "mommy! It's wet and cold! Daddy, tell Mommy to stop!"
I barked and backed away.
Does someone want to ride the big wolf?
"Ellie? Do you want to ride Mommy?" Ellie's eyes lit up and I instantly knew that she wasn't just excited about a ride.
She had something planned.
Ellie?
She looked at me and instantly started giggling. I looked at Kol and he was smiling at me trying to keep a straight face.
Kol. What did she do?
He started laughing at me and I tilted my head at him. Then I looked at Ellie in his arms.
What did you do?
She giggled, "you have pink hair now, Mommy. You look so bright!"
I glanced down at my paws and instantly saw what she meant. My whole body was covered in neon pink fur. Suddenly I heard laughter in my mind. I looked over and saw the pack. Some were on the ground in human form. Others, the ones up for patrol, were rolling around in their wolf form. I looked up at Ellie.
Can you make them pink, sweetheart?
Ellie looked so excited, "yes!"
NO!
That hurt in my head, but it was too late. All of the pack who had shifted all had neon pink fur.
Not so funny now is it?
"Bella?" I looked at Kol.
He smiled down at me, "thank you for everything, Bella. I'm so happy you are safe and healthy and that our beautiful daughter is as well. I'm ready to go home. Are you?"
Yes. I'm ready, and I love you so much. Always and Forever.
"I love you too, Bella. Always and Forever."
The End
