Outtake

"Marcus!"

He smiled. He did not need to be able to recognize that voice to know who it was. He knew by how he automatically felt happy as soon as she was near enough.

"Didyme," he sighed happily, watching as his mate hurried towards him.

She tugged on his hand. "Come on, love, I found the most beautiful field of flowers!" A second later, they were outside. She sat down on the ground, gently picking one of the many flowers in the rainbow. Red, pink, purple, blue, yellow…

"None of them can compare to you, my dearest Didyme," he said as he stroked her cheek.

"Tell me, Marcus." She lay down on her stomach. "When are we going to leave?"

"As soon as you wish to," he replied.

"How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow night," he corrected. "We cannot go out in the sunlight, remember?"

"Oh, time goes by so slowly when you live forever!" she sighed. "But at least that means that we can have an eternity with each other."

"Yes. An eternity." He smiled so tenderly that she felt that she could cry. Though, of course, she couldn't. No vampire could cry.

"My brother is not going to be very happy about this," she warned.

"Aro has given us his blessing. And was he not the one who wanted us to be together in the first place?" he murmured.

She let out the most beautiful laugh. "Oh, yes, I remember that when I first met you, I thought that you were the most sullen fellow to ever exist!"

"And yet I fell in love with you at first sight."

"Well, that is a good thing, because you ended up being so persistent in capturing my affections."

"And I succeeded, did I not?"

"Yes, you did indeed."

"The sun is nearly up." She took his hand as they both stood. "We should get back to the castle before any of the humans come out to tend to their crops and livestock. We do not want a repeat incident with them like last time."

"Marcus, how was I supposed to know? Those seven little children seemed to hungry and cold and sad! I had to let them stay in the cottage in the woods. And I did not know that they were going to try to make beards with all that wool."

"I would not be very surprised if stories came up because of that."

"Ah! My dearest sister, my dear friend." Aro came up to them, smiling.

"Aro, Marcus and I are leaving tomorrow," Didyme announced.

The smile disappeared. "What? Why is that?"

"We think that we will be better off with just the two of us rather than with the whole Volturi," he replied.

The smile reappeared. It seemed a bit forced. "Very well, if that is their wish. Didyme, would you please come speak with me later?"

"Of course, dear brother." She danced off to the library. Aro stood there for a moment, thinking, before turning around and heading back to his chambers. Marcus blinked before returning to his own chambers to look for anything that they needed to take with them.

It was sunset. He paced around the entrance to the castle, holding the small bag of items. Aro and Caius glided out of the throne room. "Marcus, what are you doing here? I thought that you and Didyme were leaving," Caius said, sounding surprised.

"We are. But she's a bit late. I suppose that she wants to say her goodbyes."

"Masters! Masters!" The three of them all turned around to look as one of the guard approached to them. "There was an attack!"

"What? Where?" Aro asked.

"In Mistress Didyme's favorite garden."

"What happened?" Marcus hissed, seeming about to kill the guard for delivering the message.

The guard hung his head forlornly. "She is dead."

Marcus said nothing as he pushed past the guard, racing to the garden. The only scent he smelled was smoke.

"No… no, no, no…"

Aro placed a hand sympathetically on his shoulder. "She was my sister." He sounded regretful.

Marcus said nothing. There was no point in speaking if Didyme was not there to hear his words. There was no point in feeling if she did not create his happiness.

There was no point.

And this is the official end of Immortal Love. Thank you for sticking with me the whole way, guys!

For you CarlislexEsme fans - I have another CarlislexEsme story coming up, but IT IS NOT part of the Eternal Love series. It's actually a crossover. When I get it together and write a few chapters out, I'll post it. Can't tell you the title, sorry - It'd give it away.

Love you, everybody, and bye!
