I climbed into bed with her and pulled her weak body into my arms and cried my heart out. I should have not showed my fears to her, but I could not control my pain anymore.
"Bella," I cried passionately,"love of my life, heart of my heart."
"No Christopher, stop!" She yelled. "Do not shed any more tears! I want to spend what little time we have left remembering our life together. All the good times that we shared, please do not take that away from me, by crying and wallowing in misery. Stay strong my warrior, and talk to me about the ways you shall remember me by." She said, her voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Blast the Twelve Council and the Masters!
Oh I will seek revenge on each and everyone of you! You will feel my vengeance and know my pain, this I promise! I said to them through telepathy. I know they are watching and I want them to know that I will destroy their plans!
I focused my attention on Bella who had now closed her eyes and slept, I could hear her weak breathing, and I died a thousand deaths. Oh Bella, love of my life. Heart of my heart. I am so sorry that because of my mistakes you are being punished. Knowing she will not make the night, I stayed with her, and held her in my arms whispering to her how much I love her and how I will move Heaven and earth and bring her back to life.
Mayhap I should take her to the garden of Eden. I could show her how beautiful paradise is, and mayhap we can walk hand in hand and see the sunset together one last time, but when I lowered my eyes and looked upon her face, my heart stopped beating.
Bella has gone to paradise without me.
"Bella!!" I called out to her, and drew her close to my heart. My gut wrenching sobs echoed and vibrated throughout the walls of the castle.
The door swung open and in walked my uncles, Mary, and grandfather. They all kneeled around the bed and cried with me. We stayed up all night, mourning her death, until the sun came out and filtered it's rays through the drapes.
"Have you made the glass box that I requested?" I asked in a low broken voice.
Brendan nodded his head. I lifted my body off the bed and walked to the tall window and looked out. My tears have dried up and I felt suspiciously calm.
I turned around and saw Tristan lift Bella's lifeless body in his arms, and exit the room. Mary had her eyes on me, watching me like a hawk, to make sure that I did not do anything stupid.
I sighed, took two steps forward and collapsed on the floor, and passed out. The healer was called and put smelling salts to my nose and I awakened, alert and ready to go and find my wife.
They had her in the rose garden, in the glass box. The garden was filled with thousands of people who gathered around her to pay their respects. I pushed everyone out of my way, and walked up to the glass box. She looked beautiful. She wore her wedding dress, and there were flowers braided in her hair. I choked back a sob and kneeled besides her. Everyone went silent, not a sound to be made. I threw my body on the glass box and wrapped my arms around it.
The pain slowly surged through my body and wrapped itself around my heart, and squeezed tightly until I let out a loud thunderous howl, and cried out Bella's name. I cried out in agony, and threw my hands in the air blasting the Council and the Masters.
I tried to get up but my feet could not carry me and I dropped down on the dirt floor. I pulled out my knife that was strapped around my waist, and grabbed my hair and sliced it. I stabbed my thigh, cutting deep into the flesh, and watched as the blood spilled out and glided down my leg. I called out Bella's name begging her to come back, but she lay silent in her grave.
Curling into a fetal position, I fell on the dirt floor and cried my heart out. I do not want to live anymore, I want to die and be with Bella wherever that may be! I closed my eyes and prayed.
