Okay here it is the final chapter!!! I know that everyone must be excited to hear whether Bella is alive or dead!!!
Edward's POV
"I love you Edward," my Bella whispered, as she was engulfed with blue flames. She loved me!!! But I realized too late that she was saying them as her last words.
She fell into a crumbled heap on the ground. I felt my heart break.
"Bella!!" Reese and the others screamed. I felt numb.
We ran over to her and knelt by her body.
"Bella wake up. Bella WAKE UP," Reese yelled. She started to pound on her chest as if she would come back to life. Ben grabbed her and pulled her back. She struggled but then started to sob into his chest.
I looked around. My family was dry sobbing. Alice looked as if she'd hipervinalate. Emmett's tough exterior was gone. He looked lost and confused. He looked as if someone would jump out and say April fool's. But no one did. Jasper had lost her cool attitude and looked as if he had lost his sister. In many ways he had. Rosalie was sobbing into Emmett's chest and he was trying to be strong for her. Carlisle and Esme had lost a daughter. You can imagine what they felt like.
I looked down at her lifeless body and I lost it. I began to sob and yell at her for leaving me. My life would never be the same.
I gently picked her up and cradled her to my chest. She was gone.
Seconds, minutes, hours, I didn't know how much time had passed as we stood there looking at Bella. I didn't care.
"Edward, we need to take her inside. We will give her a proper burial soon," Carlisle struggled to get out. I nodded numbly. I would give her a proper burial.
I gently picked her up while the Denali coven cleaned up the mess of the battle. My family and the rest of the Vampiress followed me.
I laid her down on the couch. She looked as though she was sleeping. Her eyes were closed and she had a slight smile. It was the most peaceful anyone had seen her. She was no longer guarded.
"I'm going to go to my room and be alone," Reese chocked out. She walked up the stairs and my family left me to be alone with Bella.

Reese's POV
My best friend was gone. She gave her life for those who died and for the vampire race. That was Bella. She never thought about herself. I guess she thought it was her dept for what she did. Bella accepted what and who she was. She helped the Vampiress and me accept who we are.
I reached my room. The first thing to catch my attention was a letter.
ReeseIt was written in the front of the envelope. It was in Bella's handwriting.
My fingers were trembling as I opened the envelope.
Reese,
If you're reading this, then I'm dead. I know that that's blunt but you have got to accept it.
Things happen for a reason. I died for a reason. You may not know that reason yet. But you will soon. So don't be mad or lash out. Since you are second in command of the Vampiress, you are the leader. Keep on fighting. Keep the vampire race safe for me.
Reese, this is my penance. I'm not perfect. I want you to know that I do regret what I did.
You are the best friend anyone could ever have. Be safe.
Bella
I was sobbing now.
Bella acted as though she knew that she was going to die. But she couldn't have… unless,
the prophecy book.
I ran to Bella's room. The book was lying there on the desk. I flipped through it. A passage caught my eye.
A time will come when we face vampire against vampireIn the darkened sky, the flame will fall
When day becomes night
Upon the willing victim
The chosen leader
The Vampiress Isabella
The one to lead the victory
Under the blue flame she will die
To save those dear to her she will perish under the flame
Those who oppose her will also perish in the fire
The vampire race will be safe
She knew!! She knew about her own death and she didn't even try to stop it!!!!!

Edward's POV
Bella's skin was smooth and cold to the touch. If I knew any better I would say she was asleep. But she wasn't. She wasn't going to wake up.
Reese came storming into the room.
"She knew!" she shrieked.
The others had gathered to see what the noise was about. None of them were smiling. They had no joy in there eyes. They were just blank.
"What are you talking about," Carlisle asked. He was always the voice of reason.
Reese slammed a book on the table. We all gathered around it.
"I don't read Egyptian," I snapped. Reese read what it said. We all stood in silence. She knew!
"Why would she do that? She knew she was going to die. She could have asked us to help her," I yelled.
"Calm yourself Edward," Carlisle snapped, "Bella did what she did for a reason."
"What reason!! We could have helped," I replied.
"Could you have really? What would you have done? You and I both know that we would have lost the war if she hadn't done that," he yelled right back.
"I'm glad that she's gone. I mean look at her past. She is better off dead where she won't be a menace to us anymore," Tanya said. I looked at her angrily.
Reese moved quickly and grabbed Tanya's neck, pinning her to the wall.
"You little Bitch!! Bella gave her life for you and your clan. So if you value your life then you better appreciate it," Reese snarled. I had never seen her that angry. She let Tanya go. David and Tanya walked out of the room.
"I found this in her room," Reese handed me a note. The others took his hint and left the room.
The envelope consisted of one letter in Bella's handwriting.
My dearest Edward,
That greeting sounded like some cheesy 18th century letter. I know that right now I'm dead. I also know that you know that I knew. Wow there has got to be something wrong with that sentence. I didn't tell you that I was destined to die because you would try to save me. I couldn't be saved. I had to do this, not only for the vampires but also for me.
I don't know what you think of me now that you know my dark secret. I do regret murdering all those people. I regret it everyday of my life. But I also wan to you to know that I don't regret becoming a vampire. I regret some of the things I did as I said. I'm not evil. Keep your faith. You could call this my penance. I love you. I know I haven't shown you it but I do. I want you to move on and find someone else to be happy with. But always know that I love you. Goodbye.
With all the love in my heart
Bella
How can she ask me to move on? She was my everything. I found out that she loves me and then she dies.
Then it happened, the one thing that I hadn't done in over a century. A tear slid down my cheek and it fell on Bella. No more came after that. I started to sob in her chest.
"You know it's not nice to sob on people," came a faint voice from beneath me.
I look down and Bella was staring up at me with sleepy eyes.
"What? How…" I couldn't complete a sentence.
"Breath and say complete sentences," Bella commanded.
"How are you alive?" I asked. She was alive.
"I have no idea," Bella said, "are you complaining?"
"No!!!"
"What's is all the shouting about. I am trying to mourn," Reese walked in with a furious expression.
"It's good to see you too Reese," Reese stared long and hard at her. She looked at her as if she was making sure she was real.
"Bella," she whispered.
"Yeah."
Reese ran to her and actually pushed me out of the way. Reese was hugging her fiercely.
Both girls were sobbing.
My family had come into the room to see what the noise was about again. They did a double take and stared at Bella.
"Bella," Alice yelled and threw herself at Bella. The rest of them and the Vampiress soon joined her.
"You know if I was human I would have suffocated by now. I wasn't dead but a few hours I think," Bella said grinning.
"But you were dead and now you are alive. How?" Reese asked.
"My body did not burn because I healed those on our side. It said my body but killed me in the process. I think I came back because of Edward," Everyone looked at me.
"You felt so sad that a rare thing occurred Edward. You shed a tear. It is very rare for this to happen. But I think it revived me somehow. You saved me," she explained and pulled me into a hug. My Bella was back. I had my Bella after all we had been through.
She got up from the couch.
"By the way Bella, I am mad at you that you didn't tell me that you knew that you were going to die," Reese said.
Bella just smiled.
"Let me talk to Edward alone," she requested.
The others nodded.
"I want to thank you. You were great on the battlefield and you made me proud," she started.
"What about us?" I asked her.
"I would like to give it a try but I warning you. If you break my heart then you will regret it!! I will hunt you down and make you pay!! I don't even want to mention what the Vampiress will do," I smiled. She was still tough but she opened up a little.
Bella then leaned up and gave me a kiss that I had been waiting for.
"Awwww," The Vampiress chorused in union.
"I think our leader is going soft," Kira whispered.
Bella shot a glare at her.
"I am still your leader," Bella shot.
"How about we celebrate. Let's go to the club," Rosalie suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'll go get dressed," Bella, stated. She came down in jeans and a black halter-top with ankle high boots.
They set off to the club.
Bella's POV
I was happy to be alive, and I was with Edward. I watched as the people on the dance floor moved their bodies to the rhythm.
I joined my friends on the dance floor. As I sway to the music I can't help but feel at peace.
Edward joined me. He pulled me closer and somehow I felt all right. I was with my one true love and my friends.
"I love you," Edward murmurs.
"I love you too."
Edward pulled me close.
But no on noticed that Bella's eyes flashed blue, the same color of the flame that engulfed her.
The End
Don't worry there will be a sequel!!! I hope you liked the ending!!! Please review!!!
