A/N: This is the last episode and sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long. Apart from having a writer block on this story, I have also started a new story, a completely different one from this (a all human one !) and hence, the slow update. My apology and sincere thanks for all the reviews and support.

Previously on My New Moon

"What happened?" Carlisle looked deeply into Edward's eyes and gently probed for an answer. Other Cullens were all hovering at the door with worry.

"It was my fault." Looking at the dejected figure in front of me, I confessed.

BPOV

This had to be fast. I raced through the forest which was clearer to me than daylight. This would be my last chance to say goodbye to my human life. I stopped at the trail opposite my house where Edward used to wait for Charlie to sleep before coming to my room. The house was in dark. The curtains were closed and all light was out. Yet, I could hear the TV rumbling inside and the occasional crushing sound of the beer can. Charlie was still awake. I tried to cross the road but found myself engulfed in the most delicious smell of human blood. The red haze of thirst started to conquer my eyesight again. I should have waited for Edward before coming here. I grasped the tree at the side to assemble some form of control over my impulses. The tree broke under my hand. The breaking sound of it reminded me that I was yet to have a kind of control that I could see Charlie whilst keeping him alive. I was so near and yet so far. Now I knew what the Cullens had been enduring everyday in order to follow through their way of living. How could Edward be so near to me and yet still had every control of his thirst if my blood was his la tua cantante? How could he resist such a siren call every time he came near me? I finally realized that he had to be as in love with me as I was with him; his love as strong as mine for him, if not more.

"What a stupid lamb." I mocked myself for my blindness. Everything he did was for me. How could I ever doubt his love. Giving up my human life, my proof of my love, was nothing when compared with what he did and suffered to keep me alive. My human life was indeed a small price to pay for the eternity of his love.

I was distracted by a sudden movement in the cottage. As if he knew, Charlie peered out from the curtain and looked at the direction where I was standing. I hide behind a tree although I knew he couldn't possibly see me in the dark with the poor human eyesight. What should I do now? I looked down and found the paper and pen which had fallen out of my hand when the thirst took me. It was thoughtful of Tanya to ask me to bring them along. I sat down against the tree and started writing my letter of farewell to my once dearest on earth.

Dear Charlie,

I am sorry that I have to leave without saying a proper goodbye. You won't be seeing me but you have to know that I am happy and that I am leading a life that I have been yearning for. Don't try to find me, it will only drive me further away from you. I will be trying to stay in touch and someday, we may be able to meet. Tell Renee that I love her and will always do. I am sorry I didn't tell you earlier - I love you.

Yours forever,

Bella

I was wandering whether I should take the risk of going near to the house to deliver the letter on the steps when my senses were assaulted by an awful smell of living creature. My instinct took over immediately. I raised myself up against the tree and let out a growl to the direction where the smell came from.

"Is that really you, Bella?" a familiar voice came out from the brushwood.

"Oh! It's you, Jacob." Surprised, I habitually put my hand on my chest where my heart used to beat. There was no beating. It dawned on me that it was the new me standing in front of Jacob.

"They really changed you." He came out of the wood and stepped in the moonlight. The light shone on his bare chest and his handsome young face. His features were expressionless, like being craved in granite. Shades of lights were dancing on him. I was startled to discover that they came from the reflection of my exposed skin which was now sparkling under the moonlight.

"You know about the Cullens?" His words finally registered.

"You should have known that a long time ago too. Remember the Quileutes legend I told you about on the beach? They are the cold ones."

"And you are the werewolf? No, that's impossible. They were just legends!" I cried, refusing to believe this bizarre change of event.

"You are right, my body started to react when they came back to Forks. I thought it would end when they left the town. I thought I had a chance then." Jacob's stare was burning with regrets and sadness. "Now, it's too late. You are my enemy and what's more, they broke the truce made and now, we have to hunt them down."

"No, you can't. I was willing to be bitten. Doesn't that count?" I argued desperately. I couldn't allow my dearest ones to be on opposite end of a war. I couldn't believe that by choosing to be with Edward, I had become the enemy of Jacob - the one who got me through the darkest hours of my life. My eyes stinted with tears that would never fall.

"No, the truce doesn't have any conditions attached. The rule is simple – no biting on a human."

"There has to be a way out, I don't want any of you two get hurt because of me."

"The truce was broken and I can't put a stop at it. The Cullens should know what's coming." Jacob slowly walked in front of me and gently pulled my straying hairs behind the ears.

"Bella, I can't protect you anymore. I have been looking for you all night to tell you this. You have to run. I have no choice but I can't let my tribe destroy the one I love." Jacob's hand was stinging hot against my face but it was the raging fire in his eyes that was my undoing. How could I always hurt the ones closest to me?

"I love you, Jake. I'm so sorry." I leaned my face against his hand and whispered brokenly.

He gently withdrew his hand and took a step backward.

"So, this is goodbye then. I don't want to see you again."

We stared at each other intensely, longing this moment be extended indefinitely because we knew that the next time we meet, we would no longer be friends, he would have to kill me. The silence was broken by the sudden light that came from Charlie's house.

"Could you do me a last favour?"

"Anything, Bella."

"Could you give this letter to Charlie? I can't go near him." I held out the letter.

He slowly took the letter; turned around and ran into the forest without a word. I then heard a desolate howling sound in distance, a sound that I would always remember for the rest of my existence.

Taking a last glance at the cottage that I had grown to love these past months, I raced back to the Cullen house. There was little time left if we wanted to escape from the wolf hunt.

I jumped onto Edward's balcony when I was near enough. I stood in horror at the state of the room was in. What had happened? All the things were broken and scattered around the room. Even the flat TV was lying broken on the floor. Was I too late to stop the hunt? But there wasn't the awful smell of the werewolves here. My anxiety slowed when I saw the statue sitting on the couch at the far end.

"What happened?" There was no response.

"Edward?" I uttered soundlessly, afraid to upset something that I didn't know.

"You are back." It was so finely said that I didn't know for sure they were spoken. Edward finally moved by putting his head into his hands.

"Edward, who did this?" I gently probed.

"I did. I did these when I thought you left." He didn't raise his head and the words only came through his long tender fingers.

"Didn't Tanya tell you? I just wanted to say goodbye to Charlie before leaving." I was puzzled.

"She said you regretted the change and wanted to go back."

"and you believed her?" Out of nowhere, a flow of anger surged through my vein and invaded my eyes and my mind. My fists were clenched tightly due to the effort to restraint it from letting out.

"How can I not? This is not something I would choose for myself." Oblivious to the anger flowing in wave inside me, he still buried his head in his hands.

"and you think, I would not give up anything for us, after all you have done for me, after all I have done for you." I was surprised by the calmness in my voice. Edward looked up, however, sensing something was wrong.

Not even understanding where the uncontrollable force came from, I lunged myself to him, with the sole aim that I needed him to know the hurt I was suffering from his lack of trust in me, in our love. The couch he was sitting on was thrown and twisted against the wall under the smash. Edward was able to jump out at the last millisecond.

The crumbling sound of debris around me woke me up from the tide of anger.

I looked in dismay at the damage I had done. A shudder ran through me as I thought what could have happened. I fell on my knees. My whole body was shaking with the realization that I could have killed Edward. That was the power Jasper had been so wary about. I asked myself a second time tonight how could I always hurt the ones closest to me. I was a danger, a monster.

Gentle hands enveloped my body, drew it into an embrace so sweet and yet so light.

"It's ok, everything is alright." he whispered against my ears, his hands soothing my back, his body tenderly rocking mine. Founding comfort in his familiar scents, my body slowly stilled.

"I am so sorry." I spoke against his chest. They were the words I repeated over and over tonight, like a discarded cassette.

"I shall remember not to antagonize you for the near future." He chuckled. Knotted together in each other's embrace, we watched the moon paling slowly in layers of clouds in complete contentment. The sun would come out any moment now.

"We had to leave. The tribe is looking for us." I spoke unwillingly, wanting to savor the last moment of peace that we would not be able to have for the months to come.

"We know, we are all ready to go. Anyway, we have to leave for Volterra even if it is not because of the pack." Edward said while planting a kiss on my hair.

"The Volturi? We really have to meet them?"

"Yes, Jane is not just a messenger, she is an escort. When Aro agreed to let Carlisle go, he made Carlisle promised that he would have to return the favour to him when he sent out the red label summon. Aro needs Carlisle to be back to his side, now. Some riots broke out in Volterra and Aro needs Carlisle and me to be the mediator." His voice was still quiet and gentle but the soberness in the sound was unmistakable.

"Who is the enemy that even the Volturi couldn't handle on their own?" According to what I had been told, the Volturi was invincible.

"The immortal children. Aro wants Carlisle, whose compassion surpasses all vampires, to be the mediator to end the war. With me reading the thoughts of the enemy at the side, it would be the added bonus. He knows I would not let Carlisle to do this alone." Though I never heard of this appalling enemy, I knew the danger Carlisle and Edward would be in if they were to involve in the affair.

"We have no choice." Edward supplemented, "It is a matter concerning the survival of our own specie. Carlisle knows he has to go. He wanted us out but we all decided to go. With Alice knowing the possible results of the decisions we have to make, we may have a chance to accomplish the task, after all." Edward tried to make light of the situation.

"Sure we have to go, but could we wait for the sunrise? After all, we have a whole new day to face." I nestled further into Edward and watched the dawn breaking into a new horizon, ready to meet any challenges ahead.

The past was forgotten and the future had so much to conquer and behold.
