Here is the final chapter. I understand if you're kind of sick of reading this since it's been so long since I've last posted a chapter, but if you really enjoyed the story, then you'll feel the need to find out what happens.

Bella's P.O.V.

"W-what?" I asked, clearly startled and confused by his words. 'It wasn't possible, right? I couldn't be dead. Edward finally loved me again and now I'm dead? I've got to be in Hell. There's no other explanation. I'm going to be alone forever, now. I've lost everything.'

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the beautiful man began to laugh, his chuckling immediately reminding me of Edward's velvet laugh. I felt my chest aching. Finally, he shook his head, an amused smile on his face, "You aren't in Hell, Isabella. But, you're not in Heaven, either. You're .. in between, really. I am an angel, sent to take you to Heaven, though. So, if you will, just take my hand." He held out a pale hand, blue eyes watching my every move.

Standing still, I simply stared at his hand, at loss for words. 'He can read my thoughts.. But, should I listen to him? I mean I-' I clamped down on my thoughts right then and there, deciding my actions needed to be decided without an extra thought, "No." I said, stepping away, "I'm not going. Because I refuse to let myself die."

The angel frowned, taken aback by my sudden unwillingness to go with him. He gave a nervous laugh, "You can't just decide to not die. That's not how it works. You have to go with me." He stepped closer to me, eyes blazing practically blazing. I almost grabbed his hand, so mesmerized by his eyes. Again, though, I shook my head.

"I'm not going with you. I don't care what you say. I will not go with you." I turned away so I couldn't be absorbed by his beauty once more. It didn't matter if he read my thoughts after that, because my mind was set. "That's not how it works!" he suddenly yelled, seeming furious. The next time he yelled, though, his voice was cut off by everything shattering around me, causing me to fall back into darkness once more, "Not how it works!"

"No, no, no! I won't believe it! She's not dead, Carlisle! She's right there! Alive!" It was Edward's voice slowly becoming clearer and a lot louder. I blinked once, then twice, soon opening my eyes completely. Carlisle just stared at me while Edward squeezed me to his chest, not realizing I really was alive.

"You're .. hurting me." I whispered, my throat scratchy. Edward looked down at me, astonishment written on his face, "You really are alive.. I told you, Carlisle! See!" Though he didn't want to, Edward loosened his hold on me. My wrist was bandaged up and I was still in the chair, blood everywhere.

Both Vampires and Werewolves surrounded me, all unable to believe I was alive. Even Jacob was there, still in wolf form. He looked weak and about to pass out, but seemed relieved. I gave him a small smile, "Thank you for finding me, Jacob.." I blinked, suddenly noticing Alexandria was no where to be found. I looked around helplessly, my heart thumping rapidly with fear, "Where.."

My question was cut off when Alice answered, "She ran off.. Jasper is trying to catch her as we speak, anything to do to get away from here. He's .. well, let's just say he's not very happy with himself, right now." I understood immediately and didn't blame Jasper in the least bit. Him losing control over his blood lust wasn't his fault at all, and I think they all knew that.

Edward was still staring at me, a mix of adoration for me and hatred for himself covering his features, "I'm so sorry, Bella.. I hope, there is some possible way you can find it within yourself to forgive me.." He squeezed his eyes shut, almost looking as if he were about to cry before he found my lips pressed against his in the most passionate kiss we had ever experienced. I hoped that was answer enough for him.

Finally, I broke the kiss and asked, needing to know, "Do we have any idea how any of that happened?" Carlisle took his turn to speak, a small, regretful smile on his face as he tried to explain, "We did have a couple moments to find out what happened. As you probably figured out, she had the power to control minds. But, since you're so .. different, she couldn't control yours."

He continued, "So, she used us against you. From what we could gather, she wasn't with the coven in Alaska, but she did happen to spot us the last time we visited them. I guess she became fascinated by Edward and that's why she came here. She must not have been expecting you."

I frowned, "But, what about her eyes? Why were they purple?" Alice cut in, "None of us are sure. Clearly there is something about her that's .. different. Hopefully Jasper finds her, though. As much as we hate killing, she's a threat to you and we have to do what we can to protect you, Bella." Just as she said this, Jasper walked in, frowning deeply. His eyes locked onto mine and he sighed in relief, glad to see I was alive. Finally, he spoke, "I couldn't catch her.."

"It's okay." I quickly interjected, forcing a smile in his direction, "I don't think she's stupid enough to come back, especially knowing there are wolves on my side and we know how to stop her anyways." I tried to calm everybody's fears while mine sky-rocketed. While everybody seemed to agree and relax, Jasper watched me, knowing how I really felt.

Closing my eyes, I forced my body to relax against Edward's. I was so tired and my wrist was in quite a bit of pain. Knowing Jacob was going to live, I was going to live, and Edward was mine again, I felt exhaustion begin to overtake me.

It was then Edward picked me up effortlessly into his arms, taking his time to bring me up to his room, I think it was because he wanted to hold me for as long as possible, "Everything is going to be okay, now. I will always love you. And I will always be yours.." He whispered.

Those were the last words I heard before I finally allowed myself to fall asleep.

Two Weeks Later

Bella's P.O.V.

Edward sat on the couch with me on his lap, both of us rather absorbed in a deep kiss. I couldn't help but use my thumb to twist my engagement ring, still so pleased to have it back in its rightful place. Things were perfect again: Jacob was as good as new, thanks to healing fast, Edward and I were back to getting married, Charlie hated Edward even more for hurting me -again-, but most of all, I was back with my family.

Soon, Alice came running into the room, excitement written all over her face as she urged us out of the kiss. She waited until we were paying attention before finally screaming, "We're getting a –"

"Visitor..." Edward breathed, dark eyes wide as he stared at me.

Aaaand, that's the end. Apologies for taking two years to write 10 whole chapters. Though, I was reading through the chapters and I couldn't help but notice the changes in my writing techniques. Pretty cool how things change like that, right? Well, anyways. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Farewell. ~Isa~
