Epilogue: Breaking Dawn

by Ana Cristina

It was a typical day in Forks: rain, and lots of it. But I knew Bella had to go hunting soon, no matter the weather.

She was in pain, though she would never admit it. She feigned bravery, but I knew by her taut mouth that she was suffering, enduring the sensation of her blood vessels constricting, the venom coursing in her veins. It had been a century since my change but I still remembered the pain, how it felt like fire burning in my veins.

This was the process every fledgling vampire had to endure. This was our torment, but happily it never lasted more than three days.

The first day I did nothing but hold her in my arms, trying to keep her immobile while the waves of pain washed over her, rocking her to and fro. It was a strange sensation, holding my erstwhile breakable Bella, suddenly become more powerful than me. It took all my strength to hold her down. Emmett offered to help, but I allowed no one to come near.

I had been the one to change her, and I would be the one to guide her down this path.

    For all you Twilight fans out there, there is a contest to write the Epilogue to BD from another character’s perspective. I’m trying it out here first, before I enter.

    Okay, I’m not familiar with Twilight, so what you do here will have a major role in deciding whether or not I investigate it further. (Not to put any pressure on you or anything).

    Great start. I loved the last line.

    Bella got changed into a vampire?

    Since when?

    I’m not a big fan of the series (Only read the first one, and it probably shows) but this was pretty good.

    You should write a book, Ana!

    I liked the painful transition to vampire described here and the little hints at how the relationship dynamics would be changing.

    Fan fiction! Yay! (That was sarcasm, if you must know, but you’re forgiven since it’s much better than the fourteen-year-olds who post on DeviantART).
    .
    No, really, I liked this ficlet. I’ve never read the books, and I assume this is sort of a spoiler anyway. Great descriptions and such.

    Ooooh, I love this, I went to the release, but didn’t have money to buy it, but I do love the series. This would be an excellent epilogue to Breaking Dawn. [[Apparently, my friends are major spoilers that gasp at everything]]
