Jake's POV:

Ash was all that was left on the floor. I screamed. Tears came to my eyes but I didn't care. Renesmee….no!

"Nessie!" I sobbed. I wasn't the only one.

Bella and Edward were sobbing without tears holding each other close together in pain. Their daughter was gone, my fiancée, their niece, their friend….

Little Alice grasped Jasper and he looked expressionless but just held her as she sobbed. Carlisle had the same look as he held his wife Esme who was hysterical. Rosalie and Emmett were letting a few sobs escape.

That's when it all happened. Tears broke out among the line. Everyone let all their grief come forward. Audrey, the most hurt that she had helped Nessie die because of force, was smoldering with hurt.

All the radiance in this world was gone. It was black like a moonless night. So this was what it felt like to have the love of your life die? It was burning the ache. I clutched the ground feebly. Bella was in the same position with Edward holding her with his own sobs breaking.

Sam put a hand on my shoulder. I cried harder. Nessie, Nessie come back….

Edward looked at me with a pained glance and he shook his head.

"She's not coming back," was his reply. His eyes looked like a burning man at the stake just like the time Bella almost died.

This was different though. Nessie was gone. She died but for what? Why? What motives?

Alice spoke, "Why?" If she were human tears would have made her voice crack.

I turned my head away. Yes. Why? We had a good advantage I thought. We just had to keep fighting and we could have won. She…she.

Edward shook his head looking impassively at the ceiling. The room was ablaze but not to the amount we couldn't handle bearing. I already noticed some of the vampire covens were gone. The werewolves had left after Nessie died.

It pissed me off for no good reason. Edward whispered now.

"She made a choice. I saw it in her head. She knew the disadvantages. She knew there was no chance. She did what she did to save us. Renesmee used the last of her strength to end it. This was her plan. I wish I had could have just made her stay." His voice broke off. Rosalie spoke up.

"I told you she should have stayed home."

"She wouldn't have stayed. It wouldn't have made a difference," Audrey piped up.

"Coming from you! You helped her!" Rosalie screeched.

"No," my mother said, "Stop it! This isn't going to solve anything."

"Bella's right. It's nobody's fault," Carlisle said.

"Nessie gave Audrey no choice in the matter," Edward defended.

"I suppose we should give her a proper funeral back home," Jasper stated.

I turned away. Nobody said anything for several minutes. This time Esme spoke.

"It's only fitting."

I bit my lip trying to choke back more tears. Everyone was starting to leave now. I stayed behind for a moment while everyone started going. I stared at the burn mark on the ground. Audrey came to stand next to me.

She didn't say anything but we both stood there and I understood it was a goodbye. If we were to have a real funeral it should be here. Where she died…

I sighed. Audrey finally spoke but it sounded unusually pokerfaced.

"Don't worry Jake. I'll fix things. For now this will be goodbye. Send my regards to her?"

I clenched my fists but nodded sternly and she vanished. After that I did what I thought was not possible, but I walked away. Goodbye.

Without looking back, I went with the vampires back home. Home…it seemed so unreal.

I didn't want to imagine it. It was as if it were me as a teenager all over falling for Bella. When she was in love with me. Back when she left. The pain in my chest was numbing. And Edward didn't make a word or comment about my thoughts. Nobody actually said anything. It was unnerving.

A month later…. (Okay I know it's weird to have a funeral a MONTH later but just bear with me.)

We all stood wearing white clothes. The color of 'true' death as Edward has put out. Black was unfitting. It wasn't like I cared either way. It was a cloudy day as normal. Forks hadn't seen a day of sun since we'd returned.

I was coping but like my life it was complicated. It was a shitty day all around. I felt irritated but that was probably just because I was wallowing in self-guilt. I held my breath as I watched all the Cullens stand around the cemetery with Charlie, all of my pack, Billy, Sue, Claire, Emily, and a few other vampire covens who stood in the shadows.

The grave itself had no body beneath it, but the gravestone was to represent the loss. After laying a rose on the ground, I back away. Charlie was letting tears escape, not bothering to hold his emotions in. We decided to all say something.

Bella and Edward came forward.

Edward spoke for them both as well as probably the rest of the family, "She was the daughter we never dreamed we'd have. I only hope wherever she is now, she's safe. She sacrificed herself for us. She was an angel. She was always so brave, so strong and self sacrificing. I was proud to be her father. As Bella is to be her mother. We are all truly going to miss our beloved Renesmee. May she rest in peace wherever she is. "

Sobs escaped from some people and now Charlie went forward. It was hard to catch what he was saying but it came out like this.

"…the best granddaughter….only…..so sweet…..why?.....I'll miss her….may she rest in…wherever she is…."

The funeral was moving along and I didn't take a chance to speak now. I had nothing to be said, nothing I wanted to be said in front of a crowd at least. The day became gray until it finally faded to darkening sunset. I stood with a cigarette in my hand. What the hell? It wasn't like it would kill me regardless.

Everyone was saying their goodbyes and I was finally with what I wanted. Alone…again. It felt like my heart was just ripped from my chest. I guess whoever said you don't know what you have until it's gone. Well, they might have been right. In a way you think, you know their dead, but once it sinks in that you'll never hold them, never see them again, never feel their fingers brush along yours, that's when the aching starts.

I stomped on the cigarette butt before leaning down over her gravestone. Rubbing my fingers over it gently, I sighed. Oh, she was never coming back. It was hopeless. Like winning Bella's love.

"Hey you," I started with a casual tone, "I guess you really took the big one." I heaved a breath.

"I'm going to miss you. More than you could possibly imagine. Remember the old philosophy 'never know what you have until it's gone'. Well, multiply that times a thousand. I love you so much Nessie. The sun may never shine again, I think when you left; you took it with you. You always told me I was the sun, your sun, just like your mother did. I guess that sun is gone. I won't move on away from you. Never doubt that."

"I remember the first time you told me you loved me, and the first time I ever saw you. I've loved you since then and can't imagine anyone else for me."

"Billy got me a job, you know? So that's going to work out for me. I mean, I never planned on going anywhere. And your parents are going to….relocate for a time. They want some time away. And Renee, she survived, wherever she is now. I don't think she'll be a problem and I am sorry that we were too late. I'm sorry I was too late to save you. It's going to be quiet here and I bet this feeling of emptiness might go away if I put a bullet through my head. But," I shut my eyes, "I don't think that would work. We don't exactly get as much a chance as Romeo and Juliet, eh? We have to live our lives without the other for the rest of eternity."

"I assume there's not much more. Audrey doesn't plan on staying around. She wants to catch up with her family. They've already left as far as I know. So I guess it's just going to be me. I promise to visit you every day. I love you. But for now, I guess this is goodbye."

Choking back tears I walked away. From my heart. My love. My bond. My….soul mate? More or less. I left my heart behind.

The car was waiting for me in the driveway. It was black now and rain poured in.

Bella was at my side, in the next second, after thunder echoed.

"What is it Bells?" I asked my back to hers.

"Jacob…" she cried. She placed her cold hand upon my shoulder.

I smiled the best I could give her, and from her face, it probably wasn't very good, "It'll be okay. I'll be fine. I guess I'll just get a job or something. I understand why you don't want to stay here. I don't blame you."

She shook her head, "There…there's just too many memories right now. We might return one day."

I spoke I in a whisper, "Well, I'll visit her every day for you. Just take care of yourself. There might be some trouble since we killed the vampires."

Edward spoke, "Yes and we'll be keeping an eye out. All of us."

I nodded, "Here too."

With that, they said their goodbyes, and they left. With that, I was alone with this empty house. This empty town. And it felt hollow. The sun was gone. As much as I promised myself I was saying goodbye, I wanted just one last day with her…I didn't think it would ever shine here again but the next day came.

I had fallen asleep next to her grave in my wolf form, and hadn't changed back, nor had intentions to. I would rot away next to it. The sun shined brightly in my eyes that morning, but I didn't want to look. Groaning, I opened my eyes and saw something glittering in my pocket. It was the key. Blood stained it now but I still remembered.

"I love you Jake and that's why I want you to use this; you're going to need it," she struggled but gave me an unfamiliar key.

I looked at it a while and pondered. What would I need it to? She was gone and I have no idea where it led to. No clues, no secret messages, nothing.

I knew getting used to it would be hard but I needed to move on. My heart would never move on but my mind, me, I needed to move on and forget.

Maybe Audrey would know what it had to do with anything. I was absolutely useless and if I had any luck, I might just find her, but I didn't ever get like that.

I lost my humanity, my love, my friends, my…family.

It was gone. I peered at the sun peeling the shadows of blankets covering her grave and frowned as I bit my lip.

"Nessie," I whispered.

"What do you want me to do?"

I prayed a sign, maybe even a movement, but nothing happened. I didn't feel any evidence she was here. Blades shredded at the bandages on my heart. No pain was worse than this. Death would be quicker, but I wasn't as melodramatic as Edward. I would just live the rest of my miserable life as a werewolf.

Looking back one last time, I transformed before grabbing my bike and taking a ride way out of town.

Nobody's POV

The sun peeked higher following the bike. Wind gusted and the key started pulsing a blue color. Inside it whispered, "Jake…"

And the pulse radiated on to the impassive face of Audrey sitting in the old house in London. Her eyes widened at the necklace she was wearing pulse a blue color.

As for the Cullens, their own trinket glowed whispering hushed words, "Save me…."

However, only five seconds did the pulsing occur and it vanished before anyone but Audrey realized it. Audrey ran to the car and headed for the airport. There was a person she needed a favor from about a deal she made with Nessie.

I'm coming for you.
