Silence.
There was an unnatural silence that covered the forest as he lay in the snow.
He hated the snow.
but as he lay - blood painting the ground beneath him, he couldn't help but laugh at the poetic aspects of his death.
Alex Swan had always known that death was inevitable, he had dreamed of the day it would claim him as its valiant child. He had thought of it to be sudden but warm, a flush like a blanket being placed over your shoulders; or the feeling of home as you're carried in from the car after falling asleep as a child.
Yet the snow beneath him was sharp and cold, soaking his clothes and making them cling uncomfortably to his skin. Blood coated his fingers differing greatly from the numbness of his hands in the chill.
Alex had spent his whole life surrounded by people, yet as he died he found he was utterly alone. death was not kind, nor warm nor comforting.
It was cruel, claiming his life as he began to love it.

Willow | Rosalie Hale
Willow Swan thought she had the perfect life. A perfect boyfriend that had given her every reason in a world to fight the darkness in her life and push away Death like it was rabid. She learned too late that everything she thought -- everything she loved so dearly -- was an oasis in a desert of pain and lies. It was coming to terms with life's changes, and learning that Death was more beautiful than she thought, before Willow would see more to life than her current plans. Never would she have thought a silly life in freezing Forks, Washington with a man she barely knew and a sister who pretended to know what was best for her would change everything Willow thought she knew about living, dying, and everything in between. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* "The more you say, the less I know Wherever you stray, I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans, that's my Woman." *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* Rosalie Hale X Female OC | TWILIGHT SAGA |Complete
200 Years Without The Cullens
What if Bella never jumped off her cliff? What if Edward never saw her die? What if he never came back? My heart pounded, Laurent would kill me. I would become one of them. I spun around at the sound of a low growl, my eyes were greeted by five wolves, great big wolves. I turned back at the sound of a high pitched cackle, Victoria. "Never fear, you will be one of us. I must avenge my mate," she cackled. "You're wrong," I gasped, "Edward left. He's gone." "A perfectly awful lie! But lord do you smell good," she breathed. My life didn't exactly swim before my eyes, just HIM. Every moment I had spent with HIM. A sixth sense told me that Victoria was behind me. I heard Laurent scream. Maybe the wolves had got him. I twisted on the floor. Yes, he lay mangled and broken. Victoria growled, a low, throaty growl and I felt her teeth sink into my neck. "Edward..." I breathed. *** Hi, my name is Bella Swan.

His silence was confusing, he never understood it. His silence was comforting, he found himself calm in his presence. His silence was questionable, he wondered why he was the way he was. His silence was unnerving, sometimes he wished the boy would just tell him how he felt and what he was thinking. His silence was saddening, he just wish the boy would open up to him. But most of all,his silence was loving because he didn't need to say how he felt when it showed oh so clearly in his actions. Or In which Edward Cullen finds serenity, love, peace, happiness and a plethora of emotions in a quiet freckled boy. Highest Ranking: #5 In Fanfiction.Complete
Crescent Moon (Rosalie Hale x Male OC)
The Swan twins always thought they knew who they were. For Bella, it was simple: the quiet girl, the one who slipped through life unnoticed-until Edward Cullen shattered her world open with immortal promises. For Theo, it was survival: the boy who faced a vampire and lived, left with scars that run deeper than flesh. But forever doesn't always mean what it should. The Cullens are gone. So are the promises. And in the silence they leave behind, grief takes root in two very different hearts. Together, the twins must navigate the aftermath: whispers at school, the crushing weight of abandonment, and the unrelenting danger of a world where monsters still lurk in the dark. And while Bella struggles to simply exist, Theo is left with a terrible question- What if survival isn't enough? #4 RosalieHale on 9/16/2025 #13 RosalieHale on 9/15/2025 #20 AliceCullen on 9/15/2025 #24 BellaCullen on 9/17/2025 #27 BellaSwan on 9/15/2025 #48 SethClearwater on 9/15/2025Complete
