These violent delights have violent ends...
... Until the moon is enveloped in shadow; a new moon... disappears into the darkness.           

A ruffled tulip grows within the Underworld's soil. It's surrounded by darkness.         

               .. And in their triumph die, like           
                            fire and powder..                          

THE FIELD
Jane is surrounded by the dark, lush, greenery of the forest floor.                                       

                "... Which, as they kiss, consumed..."          

Suddenly, a foot slams down next to the tulip, nearly 
crushing it. As the foot immediately lifts off again, it 
grazes the tulip, knocking its petals off. The same pair of feet begin to run. They abruptly change direction. Race the fuck on. Jane desperately searches the woods. Her quest is frenetic. "Hello!" Ahead, through the darkness of the thick forest, she sees sunlight; a clearing. She hurtles toward it. "Edward," Jane calls out, bursting into the sunlight.

They're In a Field. He disappears. Instead, Jane sees Kay Challis. Brown hair frames her tearful face. Jane's eyes widen with surprise as she takes a step forward. She looks as surprised as Kay. Jane smiles and waves, as does Kay. Jane starts toward her, but then she hears a voice. "Jane."

She spins to to the voice behind her to see Edward Cullen emerge from the forest. His alabaster skin sits in sharp contrast to the dark shadows of the Underground. She beams at him, relieved, in pure bliss... until he moves to edge of the shade, inches from sun's rays. Edward just smiles, stepping into the sunlight.     

Sunbeams shatter off his skin like a thousand rainbow shards, as if he were made of diamonds. It's an awesome sight. Edward's now inches from Jane, still glistening, entrancing her. She wraps an arm around his waist, then arranges her face into a calm expression. They turn to Kay, whose expression is calm, too. Kay's arm is extended, as if she also holds someone.

Jane and Edward are only a feet away from Kay. Jane's about to present Edward, but then she sees how Kay mimics her movement exactly. With growing horror, Jane reaches out to Kay, but only touches glass. She pulls back to find Kay surrounded by a gilded frame. It's a mirror, mounted on a wall with wallpaper reflecting a surreal dreamlike version of the forest behind Jane.             

"Oh my God," she whispers as she realizes her and Kay Challis are the same people. Jane spins around and finds Edward. He takes five year old Kay Challis' hand and kisses it. Then he leans in very close to her five year old face and whispers into her ear, "Good Morning."
