Chapter 37

BPOV

In my grief stricken state I'm surprised I heard his approach and even though I didn't want them to, my eyes opened out of instinct. Alexander rushed towards me to kneel at my side and when I didn't look up at him he began to shake my shoulders forcing me to focus on him.

"Drink from me, Bella, you must drink from me," Alexander begged as he pulled his shirt off and bared his neck to me. "I have the power to bring him back! He's still in limbo. If you drain me, if you take my power, you can save him. You can bring his soul back."

My mind started to race with possibilities as I absorbed the new information. Could I take someone's life in exchange for Edward's? Alexander sensed my hesitation and in a fit of desperation he brought his hand to his neck and pushed his nail in to the skin there. I watched as the nail cut through the tender skin at his throat, first the thin outer skin and then the thick inner skin, to expose a stream of sweet, succulent, electric blood. The smell of it was intoxicating and as the scent filled my nose venom began to flood my mouth.

"I'm begging you, Bella. I can't live without her anymore…Do it for me, do it for the both of us."

His violet eyes were pleading and it was so clear that he needed this too. He needed Sandrine just as much as I needed Edward and I could no longer deny myself. It's what we both wanted; it's what we both needed. I gave a nod because that's all I could manage before gripping onto Alexander's body and latching my teeth on to his neck… It was fucking euphoric.

I finally understood how hard Edward must have worked to hold back the urge to drink my blood. If drinking from a human was anything like drinking from a protector than I was extremely glad that I hadn't been in Edward's place. Drinking Alexander's warm, sweet, sticky blood was like drinking pure energy. The only way I could think to describe it would be electric, positively electric. My skin tingled and I hummed with pleasure as I swallowed and devoured every morsel that entered my mouth. My mind was so overcome with the delicious liquid filling my body that I noticed nothing until I felt Alexander fall limp in my arms.

Voices started filtering in to my ears, but everything was spinning, spiraling out of control and it was impossible to focus on anything. My veins tingled; my eyes flashed open, closed, open, closed. Then, when I thought I couldn't take one more second of the almost drug like trip, a shock hit me hard, zapping my body and my mind simultaneously. My vision was assaulted by a bright piercing light flashing before me and I had to force my eyes closed in protest. Slowly the light dimmed, until the orange pink tint of my eyelids was bearable and I felt him there, Edward…My eyes snapped open and I realized with perfect clarity where I was. The sun loomed in the sky giving of a warm tropical heat, warming the sand between my toes as the smell of salt water filled my nose. A short distance away, waves broke along the shore line and there he was, knee deep in the ocean, splashing through the surf, sparkling like a thousand diamonds.

He spotted me on the beach and gave me a crocked smile, that perfect smile, that made me want to laugh and cry all at the same time. My lips curved up in a beaming smile and I rushed towards him, splashing him as I chased him through the water. It just felt so right... His topaz eyes sparkled with joy and I jumped him tackling him to the wet sand with all my force. Lips met lips, tongues twirled with passion and with little effort I straddled his body, effectively pinning him to the ground so I could grind my body against his. We kissed for what felt like forever, his hands running over my body, my hands running through his gorgeous bronze hair until finally I leaned back and he captured my face between his hands.

"My angel, you came for me," he whispered gently caressing my cheeks with his fingers and it was magical.

"Always," I whispered back as I twisted his hair around my finger.

"I love you, my beautiful Bella,"

"More than words, my Edward,"

We gazed at each other and I felt a strange jolt at my heart. Edward must have felt the same thing because his eyes widened with shock. We both gasped in unison when we heard the light pitter patter of our hearts pumping and not only were they pumping, but in rhythm no less. Neither of us knew what to say so we just laid there for a few minutes, resting a hand on each other's hearts as they beat at a steady, even pace. It was a strange feeling, our previously still hearts beating again, like being born for the second time. Our eyes never left each other and suddenly I noticed Edward's topaz gold irises being invaded by a bright electric violet.

"Edward, oh my god, Edward your eyes," I shouted in a sudden state of disbelief and panic.

"Bella, your eyes are turning violet," he replied and his voice was just as shaky and frightened, but before we had the opportunity to really start freaking out a voice tore us out of our bubble.

"It is your new destiny,"

I flew out of Edward's lap and we both crouched slightly in a defensive position. Edward's arm flung out protectively in front of me as I did the same, but the woman, standing no more than ten feet away, made no attempt to advance. She was beautiful, eyes the color of emeralds, skin pale white, hair a stunning bronze, dressed in a simple white dress and as I gazed at her features it all clicked in to place.

"Mom…,"

The word came out of Edward's mouth as little more than a sigh. I reached for his hand, gripping it firmly in my own in a sign of comfort. Elizabeth stepped forward and as she did a set of white feathered wings emerged from behind her, stretching out before they relaxed against her back. Edward squeezed my hand tight as the angel wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a motherly embrace.

"Edward,"

Her voice was so sweet like what home made warm apple pie would sound like. Slowly, I let go of Edward's hand giving him the chance to wrap his arms fully around his mother, but instead he released her and turned to me.

"Mom, this is my wife, Bella,"

Her arms enveloped me in a second as she let out a small bell like laugh.

"Oh, I know, dear. Your wedding was beautiful by the way,"

She stepped back a step and Edward cocked an eyebrow in confusion at her as she let out another tiny giggle.

"Did you really think I wouldn't watch over you, darling? I've seen everything you've ever done. Well, except your more "private" moments and before you even say anything I have never been and never will be ashamed of you. In fact I have never been more proud and it's obvious that the archangel, Michael, agrees or he would not have given you and your family such a great honor. Protectors are chosen because their hearts are as pure as their souls and he has never seen a family so pure in their love for one another and all of God's creatures."

Both Edward and I glanced at each other. His eyes were now a full bright electric violet, probably just like mine. A smile slid across my face at the sight of him, he looked more beautiful then I could ever imagine, and even though his skin still sparkled somewhat in the sun, it glowed with a new found luminescence.

"The others are all going through the change as we speak and if you wish to make the trip back, you must do it now."

"What about Alexander?"

Elizabeth gave me a smile and than answered my question with the answer, that I had deep inside, already known.

"What happened was destiny, it happened just the way it was always meant to…He is with Sandrine now and he wanted me to thank you. You have done a great thing, Bella, you saved my son and you saved the world and for both I will be eternally grateful, but you two must go before it is too late. There is still much in life you have yet to experience."

She pulled the two of us in another one of her warm, loving holds. The light around us flashed and I shut my eyes as I squeezed Edward's hand. Gradually the feel of Elizabeth's arms disappeared and I found myself back on the cold, marble floors of the Volturi castle, wrapped in Edward's arms. My eyes fluttered open and I was met with the most wonderful thing I have ever seen bright electric violet eyes and tousled bronze hair. Without a moment's hesitation I latched my lips to his and kissed him with all the passion my heart was capable of. The voices around us were filled with excitement and shock. Over all of them I heard the shouts of a crazy pixie.

"What the hell happened….your eyes…oh god…Edward…Bella!"

I felt Edward's lips curve up into a smile against mine and we both looked up to see our family circled around us with their eyes all a stunning electric violet. We stood up and were engulfed in the warm embrace of our family, an electric hum of energy crackling in the air. Who would have thought we were all destined for greatness? That in saving the world we would in turn save each other and make life worth living again? It was a tale of star crossed lovers pulled together by destiny and held together by the love only a family can provide. It was a story about tragedy and death, sacrifice and triumph, a love unlike any other and so much more than words.

The End =)

Epilogue

Five Months Later

BPOV

The excitement in me was bubbling over. The day was finally here. Five months had flown by since the Volturi battle and everything had pretty much gone back to normal, well with a few exceptions. We found Carmen and Eleazar in the Volturi dungeons when we went to free the humans and after explaining everything that had happened we were surprised to discover that they wanted to stay in Italy. The vampires needed leaders to keep the peace and they were well respected in the vampire community so it was actually a great idea. After I erased the human's memories using Drake's power I decided to lay off the abilities for a while. I used my shield to block most of them and only really used them for having a little bit of fun every once and a while. Alessia, Raylene, Zareb, and Tamotsu took some time off from protector duty and left a week or so after the fight, but we kept in touch.

Sammy and Derek decided to stay around and since they were still vampires they thought it was best to get their own place. They bought a cabin down the road and Derek took a job at the local hospital with Carlisle. Irina, Kate, and Demetri did the same, except they all moved in to a house together with Jake, Leah and Liam. Oh yeah, Liam and Leah hit it off. Turns out Leah had been fighting the imprint pull to him ever since they met. Eventually she gave in and they couldn't be happier. Seth was sent home by a very adamant Leah and Jacob, he visits often though. Everyone hung out at the lodge a lot these days and it was like we were all one big, happy family, a little strange, but happy.

I could hear the screams coming from downstairs and I tried to suppress the laughter that was building inside of me as Rosalie's voice got louder. I chanced a glance over at Edward and his eyebrow lifted as if to say, 'Are we going to tell them now?' I gave him a wink and he jumped to his feet, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the iron spiral staircase of the Alaskan lodge. He had been waiting months for this moment and he was almost more excited than I was. We reached the bottom of the stairs and I could clearly see the panic in Rosalie's new electric violet eyes. Her voice was filled with panic and I kind of felt bad for hiding this from her. Still, I knew it would all be worth it in the end, that this would be a moment none of us would ever forget.

"What's going on Carlisle? What in the hell is happening to me?" Rosalie screamed at Carlisle. "Protectors don't eat and I'm using my powers. I'm starving and not for blood, but food, real human food and I've been stuffing my face full of it! I'm getting fat!"

Her voice started to rise in urgency and terror and I released the shield I had placed three months earlier. Edward gave me a smile as we both turned to the back door. I counted down the seconds in my head, 5…4…3…2…1, the door flew open and Alice came running in looking like a blur, the only clear color being the violet of her eyes. She fell to the floor in front of Rose with a look of pure shock on her face. Cautiously, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Rose's legs capturing her in a strange looking hug.

"Alice, what the hell are you doing? You know I don't swing that way!" Rosalie screamed

Reflexively, Alice released her from the awkward hug before the flames ignited. When Rose's temper acted up so did her fire power. I couldn't help the snicker that escaped my lips as the room started to fill with spectators, Emmett and Jasper came in from the backyard, where they had been practicing Emmett's new power. It was kind of cool actually, he could possess people's bodies, but it only worked on one creature at a time. Esme walked in behind them, taking some time out from working on her Earth Power as the argument really started to heat up.

"We've gone over this. I don't know what to tell you, Rose. I've tried using my healing power, but it's not working," Carlisle stated, giving a sly wink in my direction.

I hadn't wanted to tell him what was going on with Rose, but with his new healing power he would have figured it out anyway. Lucky for our entertainment pleasure, Rose hadn't realized what was going on.

"Relax," I stated hiding a smirk as I flew to Rose's side and reached for her hand. "Hey, Emmett, come here,"

I made a come here motion and with a confused look on his face Emmett came forward. Gently, I grabbed Emmett's hand placing it over Rose's before lifting the bottom of her shirt and resting her hand lightly on her belly. I darted back to Edward's side just in time to look up and see Emmett and Rose's eyes widen and gloss over as the puzzle pieces finally snapped into place. Something close to a whimper escaped from Rose's lips and the electric tears in her eyes started to spill over. Emmett removed his hand carefully from Rose's belly and bent forward smacking his lips against hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist. I scanned the room and watched as Alice and Esme began to dab at the tears spilling from their eyes as well, while wrapped in the arms of a beaming Carlisle and Jasper.

I had never tried to shield a baby before, let alone three…

Rose's sweet Lillian May hadn't been the first. Edward wrapped his arms around me placing his chin on my shoulder and resting his hands on the lump emerging from my belly. At five months along, little Alexander Evans was a full on nudger. Without hesitation I lifted the shield I had placed around Alex and a sweet little girl named Raina Lynn, who was the youngest of the three. Alice was right around 4 weeks and when her eyes glazed over with her vision I almost half expected her to kill me, but of course she was far too ecstatic, jumping up and down with Rose, Emmett and Jasper. Esme and Carlisle radiated with happiness and parental pride and it made me happy to know that if Esme had truly wanted a baby she would be pregnant with the rest of us. That's the way it worked when you're a protector, if you truly wanted a baby than you were blessed with one. Edward squeezed me a little before brushing my hair off my neck to whisper in my ear.

"I love you, my Bella and our little nudger too."

I tilted my head back so that I could give him a short, passionate kiss before I whispered a reply.

"So much more than words, my Edward."

*SNIFFLES* It's over...it's really over. Well, for now anyways. I don't know if I'm going to be writing a sequel or not because my plate is full with Colliding With Fate, but maybe in the future. I want to thank every last one of you for taking the time out of your busy lives to read my story and I hope you can free up a couple more minutes and leave me a final review!
