Epilogue: 2 months later

RPOV

I loved Emmett so much. My "love" for Royce couldn't even compare to what I felt for Emmett. He cared for me, he was gentle with me, and he told me I was beautiful back when I needed to hear it. He knew every single one of my needs, and he made sure that each of them was met. In other words, he was the perfect guy. He was my life.

It does suck being a vampire, no pun intended. I don't sleep. I don't eat. I am always thirsty. It's inescapable. There were some upsides, though. For one, my face was fixed. It healed to the point where I didn't even have scars to speak of. The lines that the bitch carved in me were completely vanished. And if it were possible, I was even more beautiful since becoming a vampire. Every part of me that was beautiful before got enhanced ten-fold upon becoming a vampire.

Still adding to the list of awesome things about being a vamp, I have to say that sex was a hell of a lot better then I remember it being when I was human. Not that I had much comparison to begin with.

Strength was another plus. I was so happy that I was stronger. I actually scared myself when I ripped Victoria to pieces, but I can't say that I didn't enjoy it thoroughly. No one fucks with Rosalie Lillian Hale. Emmett better watch himself, because if anyone that ever hurts me again, regardless if it's physical or emotional, they won't come out with their life.

Life went on. We weren't human, but we could still live, though Edward would tell you differently. He believed that we no longer possessed souls. In my opinion, souls were overrated anyways. We have a new amazing life. We have a chance to start over. We have a chance to put back together the pieces of our lives that we lost when we first got put in those fucking white rooms.

As I thought of those things, sitting at my vanity staring at the scars that aren't visible to the eye, I felt Emmett's arms wrap around my waist. I smiled widely, and I could see in the mirror that he was smiling back.

"Hey, baby. I've got a surprise for you," he said as he squeezed my hips. He fucking knows that I hate surprises. Any mention of a surprise and I'm hyper and pissed. Not at all a good combination. Why was he doing this to me? This torment was almost worse then when we were in the white room. Almost.

EmPOV

Besides having the most awesome girlfriend on the planet, being a vampire was hands down the best thing that's ever happened to me. I mean, sure we have to kill people to survive. But really, with Edwards's mind reading, we only pick the bad people to eat. In a way, it kind of made us like Victoria, James and Laurent, which made me want to be sick. We were deciding what happened to them based on their lives and their mistakes. Other then that, I was stronger then a wrestler. I could take anyone down. It was just too much fun, and it made me giddy to even think of it.

If there were another way to go about our vampire business, I would do it. We needed blood to survive; we just didn't know how to survive without hurting people.

When I saw Rose in our room staring at herself with disdain, I knew what I had to do. Honestly, I've wanted to do it for a while but I just didn't have the guts. Tonight though, I saw that this was something that she needed. I would do anything to make her happy. That is why I took her by the hand and ran her over to the cliff where some of the kids from the reservation go cliff diving. I was very satisfied with my vampire speed at the moment, because I didn't want to lose my nerve.

We arrived at the cliff and took in the sights around us. The moon was high up in the sky, which was littered with thousands of twinkling stars. The light from the moon and the stars illuminated her face and made her look even more beautiful. It was breathtaking.

I took her hand in my own and slid down on one knee. I implored her with my eyes, silently asking her if this was okay. She stared into my red eyes deeply and started shaking like a leaf.

I spoke, seeing as she couldn't move. She looked frozen. "Rosalie, I love you so much. More then I thought I could ever love someone else. You are my whole world. You are my only reason to live. You make me so happy, and I will spend the rest of forever trying to make you feel the same way. Will you marry me, Rose?"

I could hear her breathing stop, her whole figure immobilized. I tried not to let it get to me, but I still felt a little disappointed. What would I do if she said no, and I just made a fool of myself?

"Oh, Emmett!" she cried as she shook herself out of her stupor and got on her knees to hug me. "Of course I will. I want to spend our lives together. I love you so much." It looked like she would cry if she could. Crying was another human thing that we could no longer do, though.

I took her face in my hands and planted a gentle kiss on her lips before I took the ring out of my pocket and placed it on her finger.

"Do you like it?" I asked when it was in place. I had no experience with giving girls jewelry, but I was fairly certain that I knew what Rose would like. As soon as I saw it in the deserted antique store, I knew I wanted it on her finger.

"It's perfect. You're perfect, you know that? I love you so much," she said, her voice filled with strong emotions.

We both looked at her left hand, and I smiled seeing how perfectly it fit on her finger. The silver band was just the right size—not too thick, but not thin either. The three diamonds were in perfect harmony, the middle being the biggest. They sparkled in the moonlight. It was aged, but still modern looking. It was beautiful, but its beauty paled in comparison to that of its wearer.

"Forever, Rose. I want us to be together forever," I promised her. It would be an easy promise to keep. No one made me feel the way she did. Us, together, was right.

BPOV

I couldn't understand why Edward wanted to be with me. With his transformation, he had only become even more beautiful, while I stayed relatively plain. It didn't make sense, but still he stayed by my side.

We watched the whole time with bemused expressions while our friends fell in love. It was adorable, and honestly I was more then a little jealous. Why wouldn't Edward make out with me on the couch like Emmett and Rosalie did? Why wouldn't he touch me while we were in bed together? Needless to say, we were both still virgins. I sighed every time I thought about it. Though we were together, we still had not been together.

I thought I was the only one with sexual frustration, but apparently I was wrong. Emmett approached me one afternoon and bluntly said, "So Bella, when are you going to give it up to Edward? He might spontaneously combust one day from his pent up frustrations."

I just stared at him like he was from outer space. Did Edward really want me then? I turned and walked away from Emmett, going to find Edward.

He was outside, in the meadow near the house, where he usually was when he was thinking deeply. It seemed to me that he was going there more and more often lately.

"Edward?" I called, not wanting to startle him. As if that could happen to a vampire, anyway.

"My Bella," he sighed softly, recognizing my presence.

And then, I just attacked him. I don't know what came over me, but I just had to have him. Right there and then, I needed him to be mine.

I kissed every inch of ice-cold skin I could get my lips on, and explored his chiseled chest through his shirt with the hand that wasn't cupping his face. It took moments before I realized that he was a statue under my touch.

"Edward? What's wrong?" I asked feeling a bit rejected. I was basically throwing myself at him, and he didn't even care.

"Bella, you have to stop. I need to talk to you," he said, the tone of his voice had me worrying.

"Okay," I said a little dejectedly, plopping to the floor unceremoniously. My fingers and lips tingled at the lack of contact.

He sat in front of me, and in that moment his beauty had me speechless. The moonlight was making his skin faintly sparkly. He took my hands in his own before he started speaking.

"Bella, you know that I love you, right? You are my world. I wanted to know that, someday in the future, you would want to get married to me..?" he asked.

My speechlessness continued. He wanted me. He really wanted me forever. And I wanted to be his forever. I was glad in that moment that he said we could get married in the future because I wasn't sure I could handle married life at the moment. Dealing with being a vampire was enough to handle for the time being.

"One day, Edward. I'm not ready right now, but one day we will get married." I smiled like an idiot before I attacked him again. All this talk of forever was making me hormonal.

EPOV

Bella would be mine for eternity. She had just agreed to it, and that was all I needed to hear. I let her assault me this time without interruption, pausing only to marvel at her perfection and stroke her precious face. What had I done to deserve such a wonderful person?

We made love for the first time that night. It wasn't exactly the traditional way, by which I mean waiting for marriage, but I couldn't take it any longer; I needed her. I was glad in that moment that we were both vampires because we would never have to stop. There would be no reason to. And just the thought of being with my Bella, in this way forever, made me infinitely happy.

We eventually did stop. How we found the will, I was not sure. It gave me time to collect my thoughts, though, for which I was grateful.

Being a vampire was not too awful, I had realized after a while. The only things I missed were my family and my soul, but things like that just weren't attainable while being immortal. We were killers by nature, but I liked to think that we eliminated the worst people from the world. We couldn't be so terrible if we rid the world of rapists and murderers. Well, that's what we told ourselves anyways.

I missed my parents, as did everyone else, but since we had each other we would be set for eternity. Sure we got on each other's nerves, but that's what makes life interesting. We were almost like a family anyway. Rose and I bickered like siblings, and Emmett teased me in a brotherly fashion about my newfound abilities. Alice and I were closer then ever. We could relate in ways now that we never before could. Jasper, well, he is a very private person, but I still feel as though we were brothers. He took care of my best friend in her time of need, and he got us out of our prison. I respected him in every way.

And as for Bella, I think you get where she comes in when I speak of my new family. My mind wandered to the drawer in my room where I kept my mother's ring that I planned on giving her.

The only things we were missing were parental figures. We were all still young and reckless, and in need of guidance. I was hoping that chaos would not ensue just because we didn't have parental supervision.

I pushed all of that to the back of my mind and focused on the happiness and joy that I should be feeling. I did have a family. Bella would be my family for as long as she would have me. So, I focused my mind on planning out the little piece of heaven I could have while living in a vampire hell.

JPOV

I was in complete agreement with Edward. We had lost our souls. We were an abomination to the world. I would have offed myself already if it were not for Alice. She was the one thing that was keeping me in this life. I loved her with every fiber of my being, and she made this life worth living.

We were almost exact opposites; she was hyper, talkative and bubbly whereas I was very subdued and quiet. The thing that made us work was that we got along much better then most, even with our differences. We balanced each other out. She makes me really see the world for its beauty and not for the bad and the evil. I keep her calm and I show her things about the world that she wouldn't have even thought to look for.

Recently I had been thinking a lot about what happened in the white room between Alice and I. I thought back on how we had come to be; comforting her after her punishment, our first kiss, her seeing the real me while I was being tortured. She surprisingly still loved me, even after she found out that I had killed women, children and my best friend. I refrained from mentioning it in front of her because it tended to make her upset with me. She seemed to think that I was not a terrible person, even after watching the horror that was my life.

I discovered not long after we had settled into our new home that I also had a special ability. It was nothing cool like what Alice or Edward could do, but it was still something. I had gained the power to emotions. I could manipulate them, project them, or sense them. I tried not to use this power for personal gain, but I couldn't help myself when tensions were high between the couples. I would send out a wave of calm to keep a fight at bay. They barely noticed the affect I had on them, and so I decided against telling them for the longest time. It was only when the gooey love, lust and general hunger that was pouring from Emmett for my sister did I say something. It was worse when Rose was the one emitting those emotions for him. I just really couldn't handle that shit so I told them to lay the fuck off, at least while I was in the vicinity, and I gave them a very short explanation as to why.

They were all a little surprised, to say the least. My sister was proud of me, but she was pissed that I didn't tell her right away. I didn't need my power to see that. Alice was the first one I told, so I begged Rose to just understand and drop it. She did, which surprised me, but at that moment she was feeling love and pride. It made me smile to know that my sister didn't think I was a freak.

I decided to do something special for Alice. Seeing as her favorite thing to do was shop, I called the manager of a designer store in Port Angeles that I knew she loved, and requested a private excursion for Alice. It was one of the things that she had to give up because she didn't want to put any humans at risk while she was trying to buy things. Of course, the manager would be present at the store, but we would hunt with Edward beforehand to assure his safety.

At the store, the manager had a saleswoman stay late to help Alice pick out some nice things. I checked Alice's emotional climate to make sure that she was alright with the close proximity to humans, and I was happy to see that she was doing fine. Much better then myself. I had to lock my jaw in place and stop my breathing to keep from draining them and killing them, like the murderer I was. Luckily all I had to do was wait outside the dressing room while Alice tried on some things.

Satisfied with what she tried on, I paid for the merchandise, gave the saleswoman a nice tip for her help, and paid the manager what was owed.

"Thank you so much, Jasper! I love it! I love everything you bought me. I really needed new clothes. I love you so much," she exclaimed emphatically, in typical Alice fashion. I smiled at her widely and told her I loved her, too. I would do it again, at every single one of her favorite stores just to see her smile and say those three powerful words.

APOV

He knew me so well. He knew every aspect of my personality without ever having to ask. He knew what I liked, what I disliked, which places were my favorite in the world, and what I felt. Well, that last part was a given, considering his ability, but it was nice to know that someone fully understood me. Sure there was Edward, but he only understood my pain when he became a freak himself. I personally didn't mind being different. It was everybody else that would have been afraid of my power, and afraid of me. That was what made it hard. I had to live in secret. Sure Edward accepted me, but he never understood. And now I have Jasper who not only understands, but can also feel it.

And when he brought me to my favorite store on the planet to shop without humans there to tempt me, I could have died of happiness. It was at that moment that I truly realized I had found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I had always felt like a loner, even with Edward around, but Jasper was my other half. He was a loner, too. We could be loners together.

As if the shopping trip wasn't perfect enough, he brought me to the roof of the mall, after dropping my bags off in the car, so that we were seated under the stars. We sat close together and talked until dawn. When the sun was poking into the sky, he gently took both of my hands in his own and kneeled in front of me. His eyes were intense, but I couldn't understand why.

"Alice," he started in a serious tone. "I don't know what I did to deserve you. You make me a much better man, and for that I want to thank you. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for your love. I can feel it, every second of everyday, and I don't know what I did to deserve it. I want you to know that I feel exactly the same way. I love you so much. Sometimes I feel like I will explode from the feeling. What I really want to say is, Alice... Will you marry me?" he asked in a reverent tone, the intensity still blazing in his eyes.

"I love you so much, Jasper. Of course I will marry you. Call me Mrs. Hale!" I exclaimed brightly throwing my arms around his neck, kissing him zealously.

I had found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I was glad that he felt the same way about me.

Later on that morning, after trying on the beautiful ring he had gotten me, we went home to share our good news. We had expected to be the only ones with news of impending nuptials, but we were mistaken. As soon as we got home, Rose and Emmett bombarded us with happy news.

They were getting married as well. Jasper was extremely happy for his sister. He shook hands with Emmett and hugged his sister before announcing our news. He wanted Rosalie to bask a little in the spotlight before he shined it on us.

Needless to say, when Jasper said that we were also getting married, Rose started to sob tearlessly as she threw her arms around Jasper's neck while Emmett lifted me off the ground and spun me around in circles. She came over and kissed my cheek, saying "I'm so glad you're going to be a part of my family, Alice. We'll be sisters!"

Edward stood in the corner with Bella, holding her hand and rubbing soothing circles on her palm with his thumb. Upon noticing me noticing them, Edward expressed his congratulations.

Then, Bella spoke. "Well, isn't this funny? We're all getting married. The guys all got the same idea," she giggled.

"We're getting married?" Edward asked, a bemused smile playing across his face.

"Well, I was thinking that I would take you up on your offer sooner rather than later, if that's okay?" she asked, a little insecurely. It made me happy that Edward proposed to Bella. That would practically make us sisters.

"In that case, let me go upstairs and get your ring!" he said happily. He was back in seconds, after having run up the stairs at inhuman speed.

He got down on his knee, and slid the antique ring on her finger. All three of us women let out a sigh. I could practically hear Emmett and Jasper's eyes rolling.

As soon as her ring was in place, I felt a sense of rightness settle between all of us. We were exactly where we wanted to be, with the people we wanted to be with. At the risk of sounding cliché, life was perfect, and we could start living our happily ever after. At least, for the time being.
