DESOLATE FIRE; J. HALE [4]

EULOGY

Here lies Bella Swan, A beautiful character, wife, sister and friend. 

Her life was cut too short by something she could not control but her spirit will live on in those around her. Her laughter is heard in the trees, her cries heard in the rain and her spirit held in the sky. 

It is everywhere, and we are reminded everyday of the gorgeous legacy she will leave behind. May she rest easy.

Scarlett Swan sat still beside her sisters dead body. The decaying smell could be noticed by everyone in the house but she refused to let go. Missing someone came in waves, and today she was drowning. Edward had left. Jacob returned to his home. Both hurting in the same ways.

Carlisle walked over and leaned in the doorway, Scarlett was broken, and needed time to heal. There were some things that were more important than time itself. He made his way over and kneeled down beside the mourning girl, taking her hand in his own.

"Scarlett" She looked up at him, eyes red from crying. "Will you come with me for a moment?"

She glanced back at her sister, afraid they would take her away while she was gone but tentatively took his hand, following him to his study.

He gently pulled the doors closed and took a seat in front of her, his eyes laced with sorrow and regret. "I'm sorry" His eyes fell to the floor. "I can't imagine what you are going through"

"Thank you" her throat was dry and scratchy. "I'll heal. I appreciate all you did for her"

His head bowed and he leaned towards the girl, he spoke in a hushed whisper for fear the others would overhear. "There's something that you need to know. It has to do with your plasma that I took for Bella" She winced as he said her name but encouraged him to go on further. "It showed something, something that was so unexpected I had to test it five times just to be sure"

Her face laced with confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"I believe your abilities are stronger than we had ever imagined. I've never seen anything like it before, It's not even possible for someone of your kind"

Her patience grew thin, she just wanted to be back with her sisters body, protecting it. "Carlisle can you please just tell me? I'm tired of games"

He nodded, understandably. "If you're sure"

She urged him on, her tired knee bounced in the door, freezing when she heard him speak.

"Scarlett, the test is showing that you are pregnant"
