Second sight

Epilogue

A/N:  So going along with my other fics, I'm trying to finish all of the stories I've written earlier that I meant to be shorter from the beginning.  This story is no exception.  After re-reading this fic again, I think an epilogue would be the perfect ending for this one.  Hope you guys like it! 

I'm thinking about writing another story with this pairing sometime in the future however, so this is not the end for our girls as far as this pairing goes.

Also, on that note I am actively trying to keep more regular updates on my fics, thanks for sticking with me on this one guys!

Epilogue

Since her transformation, Bella had the best training the guard had to offer.   She had discovered, with the help of Eleazar that she had both a mental and physical shield.  Eventually she had learned how to project her shield, which was indeed a helpful gift on missions as well as the battlefield. 

Bella found out that she was both a sadist and masochist, and perfectly suited to be Jane's mate in that regard.  Ruthless when working together, when the foe deserved it.  However, she did bring the voice of reason to her Janie when the vamp in question needed a tender hand instead of a hammer.  Their relations were loud as they were confusing in that regard...Their lust and love of each other never waned throughout their eternity, and they cherished every moment together.

The pack in Washington eventually fell on Leah's capable shoulders when Sam decided to stop shifting to live out his years in peace with his imprint.  Leah's pack had become a surprising ally to the Voltouri, thanks in no small part to the friendship she shared with Bella. 

The most surprising change with the pack was the constant presence of one or two of the shifters at the castle.  Leah had encouraged her pack members to have a rotating presence there after a visit from Bella and Jane.  The mated vampires had made quick work of the proud shifters when wrestling around for the fun of it.  As such Leah, being the most levelheaded wolf decided to learn from the embarrassing experience.  With Bella's urging she had brought Leah and Victoria to the castle and spent a full month training the wolf and later several months showing her the world. 

Leah realized the pack needed these experiences , as well as train up better, thus the shifts at the castle and elsewhere around the world.

The discovery of other shifter tribes was a welcome one and led to the hotheaded Paul to finally find his imprint in a sleek black panther shifter named Dragon Paw.  The man he imprinted on was his packs Chief and, as a cat shifter Paul had to work to gain his mating mark, much to his Alpha's delight.

The Cullens finally gave up their seemingly endless pursuit of high school diplomas after the surprising death of their dear Eddiekins.

He had died in a freak accident, while taking his second supposed human "mate" to the tropics.  Both himself and the human died, and no one, not even the future seeing pixiepire could figure out what happened. Their remains were found still shouldering  in a pile two days after the incident. 

The fact that Bella had never left home without a match or lighter did not escape Jasper's knowing smile, as she would often be seen fiddling with her fancy zippo smiling distantly ... ever the soldier he knew how to keep others' secrets to himself.

——————————————

Jakey had found his imprint in Jane's twin brother Alec.  He had embarrassingly realized that the feelings he once harbored for human Bella must have been a familial bond.  However, once everything was squared away they found a rhythm and a peace in their life at the castle.  He was the resident diplomat of the wolves, a job he enjoyed immensely.  Living at the castle housed certain entertainments...such as endlessly pranking Felix and Dimitri.  Alec was smitten immediately and doted on his fluffy wolfy constantly.

Charlie eventually married Sue and upon their marriage found out about their world, and the fact that was Bells was still alive.  He was much like his daughter and was surprisingly good with weird.  Throughout his remaining years father and daughter could be found across the globe on fishing and hunting  trips.

Bella had been surprised to find out that the Voltouri had many scientist.  They had employed the finest minds to answer many questions and issues plaguing the earth they lived on.  So it had not been too much of a stretch  to further believe that the first blood bank had been set up by the ruling vampire class.  The system had been established so that the unusable blood would be directed to the castle, for purely experimental purposes, with the human population none the wiser. 

This created a stockpile, in case they ever were under attack, and in their long history had saved them on many occasions.

They still preyed on humans, though.  This was because human kind was a surplus on the land they inhibited.  No true predators could match them, but the supernatural, if left unchecked they would use up the limited resources.

That being said the wildlife, however was a finite amount on the earth.  The Cullen bunnymunchers, on the urging of Bella, had to every year register their kills and be monitored.  Emmitt had been appalled to learn that he was solely to blame for the near extinction of 4 breeds of bear.  No longer mistrusting of the Voltouri, they gladly accepted the terms. 

The Denali's upon learning of this were hard to convince, not trusting of the ruling class easily, that was until they found out Heidi would personally be in charge of monitoring their coven...closely...clothing optional...frequently...thoroughly...nakedly...very thorough...

This had been proposed by Bella's flighty mother, whom adored the succubai.  Di and her could be often found, Ahem, experiencing, Ahem, the Alaskan wilderness...including the coven of succubai...also naked....

—————————————-

Which brings us back to Bella.  She and her mate lived an extraordinary life.  Light could not exist without the dark, and so it was true that she could not have found her dark angel without stopping an annoying boy from exposing himself to the light.  She had gained a new life, a new vision, this beauty gave her a second sight.
