I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reasonenough in the last few months — but even if I had, I would not haveimagined it like this.

I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes ofthe hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone Iloved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.

I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now.

But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it'snot reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

我从未仔细思考过，我将如何死去——尽管在最近的几个月里我有足够的理由去考虑这个问题——但即使我想过，我也想象不到它将会像这样发生。

我屏住呼吸，盯着长长的房间对面，捕猎者黑色的双眼。他愉快地回视我。

显然，这是一种令人愉快的死亡方式：在别人的地方，我所爱的人的地方死去。甚至是，高尚的。这应该是值得的。

我知道如果我不回福克斯，我现在就不会面临着死亡。但是，尽管我十分恐惧，我依然无法让自己后悔这个决定。如果命运赐予你的美梦，远远超出了你所期待的那样美好，那么当它结束时你没有任何理由感到悲伤。

捕猎者温柔地微笑着，漫步过来给我最后的死亡。
