Epilogue: Bella's Point of View

It has been a total of 5 years since I was turned into a vampire. My parents and everyone believe that I am dead. My brother, on which was born April 2012, is called Lochlan Calum Dywer, he is the cutest baby I have ever seen. My dad has gotten himself a lovely new wife. I went to the wedding, watching from a distance. I had Kady, one of the guards, who can change appearances; change me to look like some 50 year old from his high school days. As you can tell I have been keeping tabs on my parents.

Alec and I have been getting better with each other in our relationship. We grow more and more in love every day. We have been on many lovely, romantic dates. Alec is my saviour and my healer; he means everything to me, so today with him gone is going to suck.

I sighed and rolled over on my bed. I didn't need to sleep but I enjoyed the comfortableness of it. Today Alec is gone to do something that he won't tell me, and I am going to train, again. Deciding to get up I sat up and ran to the shower. I quickly washed and got into sweat pants and tank top, as well as some trainers. First up today would be physical training, followed by power training. I am very good at both, but since no one outside the Volturi are doing anything bad, we are stuck practicing.

I jogged out the castle to the training grounds, where Heidi, Demitri, Felix and Jane waited for me. I smiled as I reached them. "Who else is going to be training with us today?" I asked there was uneven numbers due to Alec not being here. Felix answered.

"Leigh, he has offered to train with us and his group, double training," I nodded, Leigh was cool like that. He liked both training groups (the guard had split into two groups so we had more room) and could get along with both of them, though everyone could, he just was more friendly and ready to help with training.

"Roar!" Leigh shouted from behind me. He was a big goofball. We knew he was there so we all gave him a look. He rolled his eyes, "Let's get this party started," he nearly shouted. With that we got into positions and went through a number of exercises. Talk was hardly necessary when fighting, so for the 4 hours of physical working out we never talked at all.

Things are different in the mental department, we all talk and instruct each other and help each other. I worked extra hard today since Alec wasn't here, I needed to take my mind of things. Training went quicker than usual, so when Jane yelled, "End," I was surprised. We all walked in a group, well besides Leigh who had to go join the others.

"Bellaaa," Jane and Heidi sang. I looked at them waiting.

Jane was the one who continued, "Alec is taking you out tonight, and we are getting you ready," I nodded. I didn't mind them dolling me up. I sat patiently and quietly for the whole hour they took.

"Bella, you certainly live up to your name," Heidi whispered, as I stood and walked over to the mirror. I was wearing a soft red – almost pink, strapless dress, black high heels with a bow at the toes and simple jewellery. My makeup was soft pinks and reds and there wasn't a lot of it. Jane had curled my hair into little ringlets; which fell gracefully down my back. I turned to look at them.

"Thanks, you girls are the best," I exclaimed hugging them tightly. They hugged me back and wished me good luck and telling me to have fun before leaving the room. As soon as they left I sat on the bed and let my mind wander.

It hadn't even been two minutes before the door opened revealing my handsome boyfriend. He smiled a soft smiled before holding his hand out to me, on which I took without hesitation. There was no need for speaking; we were just comfortable in each other's presence as he led me down to the garage. We found his red sports car and hopped in it. It has very comfortable seats. Although I am a vampire I have a horrible memory when it comes to cars names. Alec started the engine and we sped off into the night.

~In the Mountains~

Alec drove us up hill into the mountains. The Volturi owned pretty much all of the land up here, but hardly ever came; there for I have never been here before. The car stopped outside of this cabin. It was an old, homey looking place. Alec got out his seat and ran around to open my door for me. I smiled a 'thanks' as I stepped out the car. I looked around. The view was spectacular. We were at least 100 feet up and the trees below folded into a valley at the bottom. Other equally tall mountains created a bowl shape, hiding the valley from the outside world.

I turned around and looked at Alec who was 5 meters behind me, "It's beautiful up here," I breathed, breaking the silence spell. He smiled a breathtaking smile at me before responding.

"Yes it is," He never took his eyes off me, which makes me think that he is talking about me. If I were human I definitely would be bright red. I looked down and he came over to me, taking my hand in his, before leading me inside the cabin.

It was warm compared to outside, and Alec hand been here recently due to his freshly laid scent. A blazing fire in the main room created a warm, homey type feel, as well as the well-worn out couch. I looked over into the kitchen, which was visible due to a large door way and half wall. It had candles scattered on top of cupboards and on the kitchen table. I couldn't see any other rooms due to the closed doors.

"Is this where you have been all day?" I asked accusingly. He looked down and nodded. I let out a laugh and hugged him. "This place is beautiful, thanks for taking me here," I thanked as I breathed in his scent.

"You're welcome, why don't you wait on the couch while I get us something to drink?" he suggested. I nodded and sat on the comfy looking couch.

I listened as Alec made his way to the fridge, as he punched in numbers to the microwave and clanked wine glasses. I transferred my concentration to his footsteps and his quiet, unneeded breathing. His footsteps and breathing got louder as he approached. I looked up at him and he handed me a warm glass of warm, fresh blood. I smiled in thanks. The silence spell was once again cast upon us, as we sat sipping our blood.

~Few Hours Later~

After an hour, we had started talking about anything and everything, a few hours later Alec asked if he could be excused for a moment. I sat in silence as he left.

'He is such a great boyfriend,' I thought, 'He knows everything I like, and tries not to pressure me into anything. He is perfect. I love him so much.'My mind kept praising him until he came back.

"Bella, come out side for a minute?" Alec asked offering me help on getting up. I took his had tightly as he pulled me up. I could get up perfectly fine by myself, but I do like when he offers to do things like that; so I like to take advantage of it every time.

We walked outside and fairy lights lit up this beautiful garden. I finally dragged my eyes from the beauty of it and looked at where Alec was. He was down on one knee, with a small blue box in his hand; smiling up at me. Holy Shit.

"I know we have only been together five years, but Bella I believe you are the love of my life. So Isabella Marie Swan, will you do the honours of becoming my cherished wife?" Alec asked, hope evident in his eyes, "I know that sounds a tad cheesy and everything, but it's the honest truth."

I nodded, venom tears in my eyes, "Yes," I whispered.

~Wedding Day~

'Well this is it'I thought as I clutched onto Aro's arm tightly. He is leading me down the aisle to give me away to the man of my dreams. Jane and Heidi, my two bridesmaids, had just gone down the garden paths to where Alec stood; Aro was counting to ten as we waited for my turn to go. I looked up to him, and he nodded.

"Smile my dear," he whispered in my ear. I was a nervous wreck at the moment. I instantly put a small smile on my face as we started walking at a slow human pace.

I heard gasps, as I came into view. I looked around soaking the atmosphere in. It was a sunny day, and lights flickered everywhere due to everyone's skin. There were long wooden seats all in perfect rows, different coloured flowers thrown lazily across them; with people standing in their places in front of the seats, smiling and looking at me with bright eyes. I smiled back at them, as my eyes came in contact with theirs. Finally my eyes drifted to the front of me.

Alec stood in all his glory, smiling a soft sweet smile. Once our eyes met, everything else seemed to fade away. Aro led up the garden stairs and to my prince, gently taking his hand into mine kissing it before placing it in Alec's hand.

The ceremony was quick, but everything was said and done beautifully. Finally the part where we would be recognised as husband and wife forever came, "I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," Alec bent his head down to mine and we shared our second kiss. There was plenty more to come later, in the rest of eternity.

The End
