Bellatrix walked down the stairs of their home, her room unpacked and everything back up, just like it used to be.
She stood next to Rosalie as they all gathered in the living room, going to vote on changing Bella.
"You all know what I want." Bella tells them. "And I know how much I'm asking for. The only thing I can think of to be fair is..."
Bellatrix holds hands with Rosalie, as they both have the same opinion on the matter. No one should be cursed with the life of vampirism.
"You don't know what you're talking about." Edward tells her, but Bella glares at him over her shoulder. "Shut up."
"Alice?" Bella looks at the vampire she was closest to besides Edward.
"I already consider you my sister." Alice tells her with a huge smile as she hugs Bella. "Yes."
"It would be nice to not want to kill you all the time." Jasper comments, agreeing with his wife.
"I'm sorry." Rosalie speaks up. "I'm really sorry to both of you for how I acted. And I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself. And I wish that there'd been someone to vote 'no' for me. So.. no." Rosalie apologizes but gives her final answer.
"I have lived for decades. I've seen kingdoms fall and rise, even by my own hand. But it's not worth it; living a life of vampirism is a form of hell. So I vote no. No matter how much I hate or dislike someone, I would never put this on them." Bellatrix tells her that the only person she ever turned to was Victoria. She felt pity for her and hoped maybe Vamperism would give her a meaning.
Bellatrix left the house with her vote sealed. She didn't need to say anything else or hear anything else. She just needed her soulmate.
*****
Bellatrix softly climbed into Angela's bed, and the girl immediately cuddled into her cold skin.
"You came back." Angela mumbled, making a small laugh escape Bellatrix. "I told you." Bellatrix kissed her forehead as the younger girl fell asleep once again.
Bellatrix closed her eyes. She knew she couldn't dream, but she enjoyed hearing Angela's heart beat; it brought her peace and comfort to know Angela was alive and well.
