Epilogue

(EPOV)

I feel as though I have struck gold. In the same year I have had the best two experiences of my life. Those experiences were meeting Bella, the love of my life, and Carlisle.

When I met Bella I didn't think life could get better. I had found true love and I was so joyful. It didn't matter that we were from different classes. As long as we had each other, we could overcome anything. On the downside, I had no way of supporting her. That's when I had my second break: meeting Carlisle. He gave us a home and helped Emmett, Jasper, and I find jobs so we could support our loves. That's right; Alice and Emmett are healthy and happy, also. Carlisle found the right combination of medicine to cure them.

I leaned against our windowsill thinking over the last four years. We have all been living with Carlisle and his wonderful wife Esme. To our surprise Rose and Emmett were the first to get married. After two years of working at the hospital Emmett finally made enough money to buy Rose a beautiful diamond engagement ring. They had their wedding five months later. I was very surprised at how fast those two fell in love, but according to Bella, Rose was getting tired of the endless courting and just wanted to find the right man and settle down. So I guess it wasn't that surprising that they were the first couple to get hitched.

Alice and Jasper, who have been together the longest, are also married now. Jasper proposed a few months after Emmett and Rosalie's wedding. They were married last year. Whereas Emmett and Rose's relationship was all passion Jasper and Alice's were full of sweet kisses and gentle touches.

And as for Bella and I…

"Edward what are you doing up this early?" called the voice of an angel. I turned around to give my wife a kiss. That's right Bella and I are also married. I felt that I couldn't wait any longer to tie the knot so the day after Alice and Jasper's wedding I took her for a walk around the town. Then I brought her up to the hill upon which the abandoned church sat and we looked out at the ocean. The sunset behind us turned the sky gold and pink and that's when I asked the big question. She said yes and kissed me. That was the happiest moment of my life.

"I was just thinking over the last four years," was my reply.

She sighed happily. "Yeah they were the happiest four years of my life."

There was a peaceful silence during which both of us did a little reminiscing.

"Do you want to come with me to the market today? We need some food for dinner."

I pulled Bella tightly against my chest and whispered in her ear, "Of course." I felt her shiver and smiled knowing the effect I had on her.

A little while later I was dressed in a simple white cotton shirt and pants whilst Bella wore her pale pink satin gown. We walked through the streets which were already bustling with merchants setting up their stalls for selling. Bella and I walked through the rows of food displayed in the usual market style. I hung back and watched as Bella picked through the foods that she needed and haggled with the seller.

As we turned to leave I ran into a woman nearly knocking her over. I grabbed her arm, gently steadying her. As I let out a stream of apologizes the woman looked up and gasped. That's when I realized that I recognized her.

"Edward?" she said as though she couldn't believe her eyes. Then her gaze slipped over to Bella. "Miss Bella?"

"Mora!" Bella exclaimed embracing her. "How are you?"

Mora smiled. "I'm great. How about you?" Then she saw the ring on Bella's finger and she gasped. "You guys are married? Congratulations!"

Mora hugged Bella first then me. "You have to come by the shop! Riley and Ben would be delighted to see you!"

"Riley and Ben are here?" I asked curiously.

"Of course follow me," she called over her shoulder. I grabbed Bella's hand and we followed. I felt great knowing that my friends were safe. I couldn't wait to find out what happened to them.

A few hours later Bella and I were sitting in a Smith Shop and had just finished exchanging stories with our friends. When Ben had run for it he kept wandering until he found a road which had led him here. Riley and Mora had had a bit more trouble. They had been chased by some of Charlie's men, but were able to give them the slip.

We stayed past lunch and then, with promises to visit again soon, we left to return home.

"Well wasn't that a pleasant surprise?" Bella said. I nodded. "I'm glad that they're all alright."

"Me too," I said.

We were walking through town back to Carlisle's house when someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me and Bella into an alley. I whipped around to see a small girl with jet black hair and eyes too wise for her age.

"Fayth!" Bella exclaimed, hugging the girl. She held her at arms length examining her. Bella's face creased as she looked her over. "What happened to you?"

It was a good question to ask because Fayth looked disheveled. Her black locks were in disarray, falling out of her ponytail. They were snarled and entangled with twigs and leaves. Her white potato sack dress was streaked with mud and torn. Her arms, legs, and face were covered with scratches and dried blood. It looked as though she had gone running through the forest.

"Uhhh…well…" Fayth struggled to find her words. "I don't know how to tell you this…"

"Why don't you come to our house so you can wash up and put something on those scratches? Then you can tell us what happened." I suggested.

We started walking back again when she blurted out, "There's someone that you're going to meet soon. I don't know when, but there's going to be trouble with..." Fayth looked up staring at something, "…him."

Bella and I followed her gaze to a tall muscular man. His skin was deeply tanned and his long black hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I recognized him at once and from Bella's sharp intake of breathe I knew she did too. He was no longer that gangly, awkward looking boy that we knew. His eyes were cruel and hard. He sneered as he noticed us.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. I must say it is a surprise to see you here. Now I know the kind of scum that lives in this city."

"Take that back Black." I yelled.

"Never, you bride stealing slave," he threw back.

"I didn't steal her. She ran from you. Bella never loved you. She loves me."

"I should kill you for kidnapping a rich man's daughter!" Jacob threatened.

"I should kill you for forcing yourself on Bella!" I yelled back. I stepped a few steps in front of Bella and Fayth protectively and held up my fists. Jacob smiled evilly and did the same.

"Edward," Bella said in a warning tone, "we're attracting a lot of attention."

It was true. A crowd of people had begun to gather in a circle, eager to see what was going on. I looked around at them. Then I heard Fayth scream my name and I looked up in time to see Jacob swing a fist at me. Quickly I ducked and punched him in the stomach. As he doubled over I followed up with an uppercut punch. His head snapped back as my fist collided with his jaw. I had held this anger back for too long. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Bella pull Fayth back to the edge of the crowd.

With a cry of rage Jacob charged me again. My father had taught me to fight when I was little. Those skills came back to me now and I knew exactly what to do. I side-stepped Jacob and he freight trained past me. Fuel his anger, let it be his defeat, I recalled my father's advice. I laughed mockingly.

"Is that all you got?" I taunted, "A child could beat you."

I smirked as his eyes lit up with anger. My smirk only further enraged him. He charged me again, but this time I roundhouse kicked him and he flew to the ground where he spat out a tooth. He wiped blood off his mouth then picked up at crate and threw it at me. The crate collided with me and I fell to the ground. Jacob jumped at me, but I pulled my knees up and stuck my feet into his gut, launching him over my body. He didn't get up this time so I stood up and walked over to Bella and Fayth, limping from my encounter with the crate. Bella smiled at me, but I heard Jacob call my name.

I whipped around in time to see him holding a revolver and pointing it at me. The crowd screamed and scrambled away.

"I told you not to mess with me," he snarled loading it.

Several things happened at once, Bella screamed; Jacob put his finger to the trigger. Then Fayth stepped in front of me, raised her hands, and cried out something that sounded like, "Ni ha shak!"

Green energy shot from her hands into the ground at Jacob's feet. At first nothing happened. Startled by Fayth's actions Jacob froze. Suddenly the ground began to tremble. Now frightened, Jacob lowered the gun and stared at the floor. Fayth just grinned as roots shot out of the ground and began to wrap themselves around Jacob's legs. Bella and I watched with wide eyes as they climbed up his body until he was bound by the roots, unable to move.

"What on earth? Get me out of…!" was all he could say before a root clamped itself over his mouth, effectively shutting him up.

"Don't even try to hurt my friends," said Fayth before turning to us. "We can leave now," she said sweetly.

Bella and I smiled and walked with her to our house.

"So, you going to be here for a while?" I asked.

"Yes," she replied. "My mother and I are moving here. When I had a vision of Jacob I ran ahead to warn you guys."

Well, that explained why she looked so banged up.

So, Jacob was arrested for illegally handling a weapon and threatening someone with it, although the police could never explain how he had been tied up with tree roots. They thought he was insane when he told them that it was a witch child that had done it, but since everyone had run when he pulled out the gun no one could prove it. Fayth and her mom moved in nearby and they visit often. We see Ben, Mora, and Riley from time to time. We go out for lunch and just talk. As for the rest of us living with Carlisle, we all lived happily to the end of our days.
