Act II

"Hello Bella, how are you feeling today?" I said smiling at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. A myriad of wrinkles invaded my face.
A myriad of expressions of the past in the most complete happiness.
My brown hair, had given way to a dense tangle silver, soft and delicate as a cloud in the whipped cream.
"The older, in truth," I muttered to myself responding and pointing a new wrinkle on the forehead.
that yesterday was not there.
Charbill Reneah and had become adults and masters of their own life for quite some time. By now we had been just me and Jake, to occupy the old house of my father.
A house that had experienced nightmares and dreams, joys and sorrows. Fire and ice.
And in the last seventy-three, had seen the sun shine in every room.
gave me a refreshed and slowly descended the stairs, clinging to the railing, toward the kitchen to prepare the lunch basket. A ritual that was repeated at fixed intervals. For each
my birthday.
My back and arms are weak, allow me once again to carry the heavy basket to the little garage, from which came sounds of screwdrivers, torches and other instruments of hell that only he could handle, with impressive skill.
He opened the door of a freshly painted red, similar to his old home of La Push, and I saw his shoulders broad and slightly curved, barely covered by her long hair still surprisingly a shiny jet black.
Despite his advanced age it was when my less than two years, spun the sound of the door that opened slowly.
His eyes and aged blacks, met mine and lit up as they did every time our eyes met.
Nothing about him had changed before my eyes off the time, but glad you spent with Jacob.
The deep wrinkles framing her face bronze, while smiling at me as I had always loved. From the first moment that I'd meet again in seventeen years on the beach of La Push.
Time has not been able to anything against the heat that emanated his smile and his person.
But then, the sun can not go out.
, dropped his tools and went to work to me, stretching his long arms auburn, strong as those of a forty.
were already hot and ready for their temporary use.
His transfigured once a year, allowed him to age well, maintaining a physically strong and robust, yet able to defend myself and take care of me.
Even if nothing had touched us in more than seventy years of life together.
I took the basket and gave me a kiss on the lips wrinkled.
"Best wishes for your thousand years, Bells," he said with a chuckle. The voice hoarse and deep, marked also by time.
Aggrottai the eyebrows.
"I only ninety-one. Begin to write numbers? "I asked.
"Those will do since I met you," he said with a smile.
"Okay are forgiven," I said doing shrugs, like when I was young.
laughed softly.
"Are you ready for your gift? Asked, placing the long white hair behind her shoulders.
«Back permitting, yeah. Today, where you taking me? ".
"What kind of gift would be if I tell you where to go?" He asked with a grin.
wrinkled his nose and discovered a thousand wrinkles on my face pale.
"Go , but not to run too. Today I really feel one thousand years on, "I murmured.
smiled and set off on foot towards the inside of the woods behind the house.
Once far enough away from prying eyes, Jake began to undress and ankle tie her clothes dirty and old grease.
It became the largest wolf ever, but the color of his long coat was a dull red, almost colorless.
He crouched as he could, to allow me to salirgli back. I placed the basket between his huge shoulders and started to walk quickly, the trees and large ferns of the forest. I had
never understood how he did it to orient themselves, but find myself in the middle of those trees, I did a thousand memories resurface. All about my life lived in close contact with the supernatural world.
I remembered the first time I met Edward Cullen. The strange feeling that in him there was something different from any human being I ever met. My love for him and the discovery of the nature of the legendary vampire.
I thought back to the liveliness of Alice, Rosalie and the breathtaking beauty of its initial hostility towards me. I remembered his face and loving child Esme, the mocking smile of Emmett, the concern on the face of Jasper, and the sweetness and solemnity Carlisle's face. My friends
vampires, who had kicked off my new life.
Then I remembered Jacob's friend, whose soul was linked to my day to day. Without my noticing, my feelings toward this wonderful guy, grew and solidified into a bubble that included only two of us.
make them part of something beyond my first desire to become a Cullen.
life.
remembered as the echo of his emotions, stimulating vibrating within me the ropes of my own.
As nothing could keep us away from each other, defying orders, limitations and secrets. A magnet more powerful than between me and Edward.
Jacob had not abandoned me one day, even when I thought he did. He was hiding, to watch over my safety, unable to disobey the Sam.
But it was there, if something had happened to me, it would be popped from the darkness of his hideout and I have defense. Until then returned to my room, hoping that I remembered only by the truth that I naively had revealed long ago.
To keep his promise to abide more closely.
Then the first kiss, the explosion of my heart and desire, led nell'avverarsi of my recurring dream and a marriage that symbolized the love itself.
Our first time.
And the second, and third ...
The times were lost over time, up to and beyond the light emanating from our children extraordinary.
Reneah RoSeal.
My photocopier, which had brought life into the Cullen family from a very young age, messing their lives otherwise sober and somewhat empty and isolated. Edward was very fond of her, she liked to be confused in the midst of chaotic thoughts Reneah head.
And she fell in love with him, obviously. I suffered at the thought that it was not paid as desired. And
Charbill Edwarlisle. The Alpha male from
brown hair with golden streaks on the face of new and strong pack of werewolves in La Push and Forks. From which he had found the object of his imprint.
Leah Clearwater. When she was young
to vent pent-up anger and anxiety, sporadic hunting vampires who appeared here and there. Until
first look crossed with that of my son Charbill.
My mind wandered among the memories of a life lived on the side of the sun, air and fire.
constant and inexhaustible, set fire to my every night.
Jake continued with its steady pace and quick, I did not know if we were near the goal.
Slowly my body felt more and more tired, as if you deposit each year with all his weight on my back tired from old age.
decided to take a short nap, curling on the wide back of my beloved wolf. I was woken up when we arrived.
My body relaxed, she was always heavier, as if I were sinking on my own bones. Jake then slowed to a stop. Probably we were there, but I did not have the strength to move a muscle.
I was so comfortable and warm from her hair, so long as to potermici wrap like a blanket.
I feel my body gently deposited on the turf, and a big nose and wet caressing her face, giving me gentle tapping like to wake up. Let rest
, I wanted to tell him, but not from my old mouth no sound came out.
"Bells, Bells love wake up," Jacob said with a hint of concern. He had turned, but I had heard the rustle of clothes as if you were coating.
he had to worry about? I was just tired, I was resting for the misery. On the other hand I have the beauty of ninety years, not eighteen.
"Bells," she heard him speak, but his voice was not just worried. He seemed to be crying.
Why? She thought I was dead? Yet still breathing, I felt the fresh air and scented with musk and rain fill my lungs.
No love, you must not cry, leave me alone again. I feel so tired and heavy , I mean.
But still I had no strength to utter a syllable. And he never stopped wetting the face with her tears.
Then he heard light footsteps, like the leaves swept away by a light breeze, close to my body relaxed. And a different voice, but that I recognized among a thousand. I had heard just a week ago, when one night he came to visit us along with Alice and Rosalie.
Even Jacob had become more friendly towards him, with the passage the years.
'It is time, "announced Edward. His velvety voice was low and slow. Scand every word.
'Bells. My little girl ... wolf, "muttered Jacob in the throes of an inexplicable fit of hysterical tears.
began to worry seriously.
"Part of me will remain empty for eternity, and the same for you. My friend and eternal rival, "Edward said in a whisper away. "If it were not for Reneah, which shocked me almost as much as the existence Bella, I would have asked you to kill me, how you plan to do from the beginning. I would be honored to die by your hand. "
I froze the blood in the veins in his words. Why talk about me as if I were to die?
What had got these two crazy?
Edward, readme thought a good time: I'm sleeping! ARE TIRED!
"Bella would never have allowed it to you, and I would never have forgiven if you had paid attention. And not just her, "muttered Jake with his voice even more hoarse and deep.
I fought against the sudden cold and the inertia of my old body, to find a weak voice and say something. To say that I just wanted to sleep in that coat soft and moist.
But the words of Edward had provoked in me a different thought. A face, a bright mind and full of life. A daughter who loved him.
"Reneah you throw stones in mind," mumbled.
He felt cold wave on the one hand, and a warm hand. They were crouching, remaining silent for my weak grasp whispers. I did
strength in the muscles of the face and managed to slightly open his eyes.
I saw Jacob's face furrowed with tears, laughter and a faint smile.
"I doubt that our hard heads would break. If anything, the stones, Bells, "he said.
Stiracchiai a laugh, although the stiff muscles of the face let me.
"Edward," I whispered looking for her face from the immortal perfection.
Edward came up to me, with his usual crooked smile. "In my eyes you're not changed one iota you know? You are always the same girl, awkward and attiraguai, "she said, sobbing and giggling.
I made a face, but I kept smiling.
'You're always beautiful, breathtaking, "whispered one of the many thoughts that I had kept hidden in his youth, and watching his eternal youth. Then I turned around with the little strength I had left.
I felt that I slipped through our hands.
returned copper on the face of my Jacob. My life partner, my eternal savior.
him that I had saved and protected even from myself. And I had come to love more than I loved Edward.
"I'm sleepy. And cold. Jake, warming up, please, "I murmured in a voice more and more irrelevant to my ears.
Jacob put his arm under my back bent and lifted me up, and hold her chest copper.
But I still feel cold.
"I'm here my love, do not leave you cold. I'll stay to warm up, " answered with his eyes flooded with tears.
"Like you always did," I said, but was not sure it really said. I no longer felt.
I saw him nod his head, trying to smile, as only he could do.
His smile, bright, warm and unique, was the last image my eyes saw weighed down by that time.
Then, darkness.
The end
