was just before Cromwell’s
rule, though.

He was the only son of an

it in, just a little bit.

there all along, and I was
so afraid Edward would

But it seems like he’s
too weak to make that
choice. It happened
once, oh, ages ago. The one and only time
: my prey escaped me.

You see, the vampire

who was so stupidly
fond of this little victim
made the choice.

When the old one

knew I was after his
little friend, he stole
her from the asylum
where he worked.

As soon as he
freed her he made
her safe.

to notice the pain, poor little
creature. She’d been stuck

 Another ending.
No matter how
perfect the day Some things
is, it always has don’t have to
to end.

I brought you to the prom

because I don’t want,you'to miss
anything. I don’t,want my. presence
to take anything away from-you:

I want you tobe human.

I want your/life to continue
as it would have.
The only reason the prom
was tolerable was because
I was with you.

Will you tell me

something?

You seemed
honestly surprised when
you figured out that I was
taking you here.

But you must have had

some other theory...1’m curious —
what did you think I was
dressing you up for?

I think it will
make you mad —
or sad.
 Well...I assumed it was
some kind of...occasion.

...that you were going

to change me, after all.

You thought that would

be a black tie occasion,
did you?

things work: To me; at least,

it seems more rational
than prom does:
It’s not
funny.

Yih

And you’re really

that willing?
So ready for this
to be the end...

...for this to be
the’ twilight’of your life;=
‘though your life has barely”
started. You’re ready to
give up everything.
 It’s not the end,
it’s the beginning.

You’re
ready now,
then?
 You can’t really
believe that I would
give in so easily.

A girl can
dream.

Is that what
you dream about?
Being a monster?

Mostly I.dream
about being,with
you forever.
Bella, I will stay
with you — isn’t
that enough?,

Enough
for now._

I love you more

than everything
else in the world
combined.
 Yes, it is
enough. Enough
for forever.
