Nillia pov:

I let out the most ear piercing, horrific, paining scream that some might have ever heard. It felt like my body was suffocating me from inside out. Victoria was gone and the boy in front of me had no problem in doing the job for her. He stood before me, his hands folded behind his back as he looked down at my figure, already expecting my exact reaction.

"YOU MONSTER" I screamed, lunging myself at him. Being so overwhelmed, filled with horrible emotions, had caused my body to go invisible without me noticing.

"YOU KILLED HER" The boy somehow managed to catch my body he couldn't see, and wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't escape out of his grasp anymore. No matter how hard I tried. I continuously tried to punch his stomach, which I then figured was impossible, because of how hard his grip on me was and because of how weak I was in that very moment.

After a few seconds later, I completely gave up. I was too exhausted to fight back anymore and I didn't dare to open my eyes because I knew that Victoria was still laying there. Motionless. Her head detached from her body. Like she wanted it.

The only thing I did was screaming. I screamed into Edward's chest, not caring if his ears were starting to hurt because of how good of a hearing we had. I needed to scream all that pain out, even if it would be going on forever. I would do it.

"What happe-" There was no 'oh', no 'oh my God', no nothing. Just that silence of realization. My ears were throbbing so hard, I couldn't make out their voice, but I knew that I was passed over into their arms. "Shh, I got you baby"

Alice.

She tried to silent or at least quieten my screaming, but it both didn't work. We waited on this exact spot, until my screams turned into dry sobs. I was so overwhelmed, I felt how my brain was trying to make me forget the reason I was in such a state.

Alice continued to shush me, but soon I caught onto something else instead of her soft sounds. The smell of fire. Slowly, I tried to move my head away from her chest, but she quickly grabbed my face, knowing I would try to peek even though she couldn't see me. She turned my head to look at her with much force.

"If you can't take it, then scream. But I do not want you to look at that, do you understand that, darling?" I didn't nod, nor shook my head, nor did I scream. I just kept my eyes on my mate, doing what she told me.

Hell, I wanted to see Victoria, but I wanted to see her alive and not turned to ashes.

"It's over" Edward spoke and took ahold of Bella's hand who was still standing there, watching everything. The boy and his girlfriend walked away, leaving only me, my mate, and the redhead's ashes.

With slow movements, I got out of Alice's arms and turned visible, walking towards the gray dust, kneeling before it in the snow. I couldn't believe that the woman I once loved so deeply was now this. Unable to move, to speak, to live. "Promi- no, swear. That you will never leave me. Not like this. Not at all"

I heard some rustling behind me and then Alice walked up to me and kneeled down beside my figure. "I swear" She said and handed me a water bottle that was most seemingly like the human's. I glanced at her and then back at the bottle, emptying it. "Are you sure?" I asked, hesitating as I dragged the bottle over her ashes.

"I promise you, I will do something for her. She may did some stuff that were not so great, but I know she wasn't a bad person" Alice said, resting her hand on my back. I looked at her for a second before falling in her arms. "Thank you, so much Alice. You don't know how much that means to me"

The pixie gave me a soft kiss on my head. "I know how much you loved her and I'm not letting her go without doing something she deserved" I sighed, looking down at the ground. "She deserves something nice, for once in her life"

Alice laid her hand on top of mine and guided the bottle through the snow, capturing the small pile of her ashes.

-

"Thank you for getting the urn Alice, it's really beautiful" The girl smiled, running her hand through my hair after she just handed me the urn. "Thank you for letting me choose it baby. And also, here"

I looked at her rather confused, but that was quickly taken over when she suddenly pulled out a little box. "No, Alice" I didn't even had to open it, I already knew what she got and it made me so happy. "I know you have that necklace of Victoria, but now you can always have her with you" She opened the box for me, revealing a beautiful necklace, that had a pendant with a bit of the woman's ashes in it.

"I love you, thank you Aly" The pixie pulled me in a hug, giving my lips a quick peck. "No need to thank me, darling" She walked around me and lifted my hair, carefully clasping the jewelry around my neck. "Are you ready to go outside?" I nodded shortly and picked up the urn, following Alice outside and into the woods where we had found a pretty little place.

"I never got to know her, other than from what we experienced, what was she actually like?" Alice questioned, grabbing a shovel to start digging a hole. "She was sweet, actually very caring" I trailed off, quietly laughing. "I loved to annoy her. I remember always stealing and hiding her makeup, because I wanted to have it for myself" Alice laughed. "Wait are you the one that steals my makeup?"

I quickly looked away, "Noo?" My mate stomped her foot on the ground. "Nillia, I blamed Rose for it" We both broke out in laughter.

"I think it's deep enough" Alice said, looking down. As I was about to check for myself, I was cut off by Emmett suddenly appearing behind us. "Are we too late?"

"We?"

"Nila, why didn't you invite us?" Rosalie asked rather upset, crossing her arms at me. Jasper chuckled at his sister and came to my side, kissing the side of my head. "I honestly thought you wouldn't want to be there" Rosalie sighed, setting down the flowers she brought. "Just because I wasn't... very fond of her, doesn't mean I'll let you down. She was still a person, and a pretty important one to you too"

My eyes pooled with venom once again. "Thank you all so much, really" I hugged Rosalie tight, her returning it to everyone's surprise. "We wouldn't miss it for the world darling" Esme said, coming along with the rest of our family. "I'm sorry that it had to end this way" Carlisle said, hugging me after Esme did.

"I'm sorry, sis" Edward leaned down and kissed my forehead, walking straight up to Alice. I now stood before my best friend, the human who I now could blame for everything. She didn't say a thing, neither did I. Instead, she wrapped her arms securely around my body, hugging me like she probably never did before. "I am so sorry" I took a deep breath after what she said. "Thank you for being here Bells, I really appreciate it. Thank you all"

They all shot me warm smiles and behind all that sorrow, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of happiness. Every single one of them, even Edward, cared enough to come to this little funeral of their enemy, just because she was important to me.

I took a deep breath and stepped forward, kneeling before the small hole. "I love you so much, Vic" I said in a quiet tone, not wanting to flood my eyes again as I put the urn into the hole Alice and I dug.

"And I forgive you"
