Alright guys, this is it. The last chapter. I'd like to thank all of my reviews who've been with me from the beginning and all of my reviewers that have just begun. Thank you for your support and encouragement. You've given me confidence in myself, and made me feel as if my work meant something. The sequel to Destiny is (as of now) titled Shadow. Okay, so I will be excepting votes until tomorrow night, and then I will be closing down my poll. Get in and vote if you can. Enjoy!!
Epilogue-Taken
Bella Pov:
It had been three months since I was changed. Three months since Edward and I had become engaged. Three months since we'd moved to Denali and I'd met Tanya, Kate, and Irina. And sadly two months since I'd begun school again. It bored me, but having Edward and Kate in just about all of my classes helped a little. One more month to wait until the wedding. Through these few months, Tanya, Rose, and I became closer, understood each other better.
"We're leaving soon. Sure you don't want to come?" Edward asked. The Cullens, and two of the Denali sisters were going hunting. Rose, Tanya, and I decided to stay back since I'd hunted a few days ago. We were going to have a movie night.
"Edward go." I said, stroking the dark circles that had slowly made their appearance. He hadn't hunted in weeks, not for any particular reason, he just want to. He nodded and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tight. "I love you." I whispered into his ear.
"I love you too." he whispered back. "Be back soon." His breath tickled my skin. Then he disappeared, practically dragging the whining Alice with him. Alice wanted to stay, but she was thirsty too, her circles weren't as dark as Edward's, but they were getting there.
"What do you want to watch Bella?" Tanya asked, skimming the two shelves of DVDs. I shrugged.
"You pick one." I said, looking away from them. I heard as she slipped a DVD out of a box and popped it into the player.
"Oh, Bella, my brother and sister are coming. They want to meet the new addition to my family." Rose said suddenly. I was confused.
"Your sister and brother? What sister and brother?" I chocked out. Tanya sat beside me on the couch. As soon as I said that, thoughts were shoved at me, yelling and screaming. Emotions were mixed, and constantly changing. It felt like a head rush. I looked at Rose and Tanya who were smiling at me. Their thoughts and emotions were thrown at me too.
"Stop." I gasped. Tanya and Rose moved away from me, giving me now way of electrocuting them. I thought about Edward. He would be too far to "read" me, but if I shoved my thoughts out to him, would he "hear" it? I had no choice, I shoved out, trying to get into his range.
Edward. Can you hear me? I asked.
Bella? How are you doing that? Edward asked. I grew weaker, and hit the floor.
No time. I love you so much. Rose's sister and brother are attacking me. Overwhelming me, trying to make me pass out I think. I don't know why though. Rose and Tanya are helping. I whispered.
Rose doesn't have a sister or brother Bella. Edward replied.
Yes she does. I gasped. My breathing was turning into panting as I clung to consciousness. I couldn't do this for much longer.
Who? Edward asked.
I don't know. I can't stay conscious for much longer though. I love you, just know that please? I said, as I felt myself slip.
Hold on Bella. I'm coming. Edward said, thoughts panicked.
But that was it. I couldn't answer because I was too weak, I was barely conscious, and when someone yelled at me I fell into the pitch black.
Rosalie Pov:
She thought we were okay now, that we would become friends. She convinced Edward, Alice, and the rest of the family to go along with the two Denali sisters. Tanya, Bella, and I stayed in for a "movie night".
"What do you want to watch Bella?" Tanya asked. She was following the plan perfectly although she was nervous about having two of the Volturi members here. The worst of the many, Jane and Alec.
"You pick one." Bella said, uninterested. She looked away from us.
This was it. "Oh, Bella, my sister and brother are coming. They want to meet the new addition to my family." I said, acting as if I'd just remembered. Her head snapped up, her eyes meeting mine.
"Your sister and brother? What sister and brother?" she asked, confusion was shown on her face and colored her tone. She was catching on. Right on cue Alec and Jane started pushing their thoughts on Bella, unleashing their emotions as well. Her face was twisted in confusion and concentration. This was the plan. To overwhelm her, make her pass out, then Jane and Alec would come and take Bella, fly her back to Volterra, Italy, and introduce her to the Volturi, eventually forcing her into their coven. I let my thoughts and feelings free too. They hit her hard, and she was gasping for air now.
"Stop." she gasped, hitting the floor. I knew when I'd seen her muscles relax that she was talking to Edward. I decided to give her a minute, and then without warning I out all of my thoughts and feelings together and yelled as loud as I could.
GET OUT OF MY LIFE! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE! I SHOUTED AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE. She went limp on the floor.
Jane and Alec came in, both greeting me warmly.
"Hello Jane, Alec." I said looking around. Tanya had fled to her room, staying away from them.
"Is this her?" Alec asked as he crouched by Bella's body. Jane came over and studied her too. I nodded.
"She looks weak." Jane said.
"Jane, she's not. She took down a newborn, and a full grown werewolf. She has brilliant self-control, and her eyes change with her emotion. Her abilities are unparalleled, nothing anyone's ever encountered before. She is by far, one of the most powerful of our kind." I explained.
"Then why do you want us to take her?" Jane asked curiously.
"She's not wanted here. She stole my life, and attention. She's taken Edward from Tanya. We're tired of her. She's stayed past her wanting." I said. Jane nodded and lifted her easily, face down.
"We'll train her in our diet, teach her more control over her "gifts" and others'. Thank you." Alec said as he took Bella, and turned her upward. He looked her over a few times, and then his eyes fell on her pale face. "She's beautiful." he noted. I rolled my eyes.
"You should go. Before she passed out she communicated with Edward and he's on his way." I said.
"Thank you Rose." Jane said as she kissed my cheeks. Alec gave me an awkward hug, Bella still in his arms. He was watching her face.
"Thank you. Give Aro my thanks as well." I said. Jane nodded and ran for the woods, Alec close behind her. Minutes later Tanya was back downstairs, and I was sitting next to her on the couch. She was speaking into her phone.
"Kate? Where's Edward?" she asked, her voice revealed fake emotion.
"Bella was taken by Jane and Alec of the Volturi Edward." Tanya said. I handed my hand out for the phone.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"I don't know. She's just gone." I said.
"I'll be there soon." Edward said, and shut the phone. I almost felt guilty for what I was doing… almost.
I smiled wickedly at Tanya.
"Where's Edward?" she asked.
"He'll be here soon." I answered and threw myself into depression, and blocked away my thoughts. If Edward came on a whim, he needed to see that I had nothing to fo with the kidnapping of his soon-to-be wife.
The End.
