Epilogue

You don't have to breathe
I will breathe in for your love

Bella sat on the dewy ground, her knees pulled up to her chest. The sun was rising slowly as the moon began its descent. She smiled and looked over her shoulder at Volterra; her new home, for now at least. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, searching for Edward. She felt the cool strain of his power and tapped into it, feeling it slither across her skin. How's the meeting going? She asked him.

Utterly boring. I wish I was with you.

Oh really? And what would we be doing?

Edward laughed, the sound causing a shiver to run down her back. She could picture his eyes twinkling deviously. Well, first, I would rip off all your clothes and take you right where we stood. Then, I'd lead you upstairs, and take you again-only gentler.

She bit her lip, imagining the feel of his skin against hers; their bodies melting into one. Finish your meeting and we can do just that. Maybe more.

It's a date, my love.

Bella sighed and let his power go, returning it fully to him. Then she looked back up at the sky, envisioning the little girl who had helped them see the truth. She probably isn't so little, if she's one of the Three Fates. Bella mused, smirking.

Inside her heart, she knew everything was the way it was supposed to be. Everything she'd been through, all the pain she'd felt, led her to this moment-led her to where she was now. She was living her destiny, the way it was supposed to be lived.

"Thank you," she whispered, wondering if they could hear her. "For everything."

Then she got up, wiped off her clothes, and walked towards the back of Volterra-to her destiny.

...

Clothos bit her lip and smiled, watching as Bella walked away. "You're welcome," she answered. Then, she turned the scene to her next charges. A couple about to be faced with the greatest challenge they would ever face. "Hello Alice, Jasper. I can't wait to meet you."

Fin.
