Eclipse – Epilogue - Jacob's perspective
Come home when you can. The words were faint, trailing off into blank emptiness as he left, too. And I was alone.
So much better. Now I could hear the faint rustle of the matted leaves beneath my toenails, the whisper of an owl’s wings above me, the ocean—far, far in the west—moaning against the beach. Hear this, and nothing more. Feel nothing but speed, nothing but the pull of muscle, sinew, and bone, working together in harmony as the miles disappeared behind me.
If the silence in my head lasted, I would never go back. I wouldn’t be the first one to choose this form over the other. Maybe, if I ran far enough away, I would never have to hear again...
I pushed my legs faster, letting Jacob Black disappear behind me.

Go

To un-explain the unforgivable

Drain all the blood and give the kids a show

By streetlight this dark night

A seance down below

There're things that I have done

You never should ever know

And without you is how I disappear

And live my life alone forever now

And without you is how I disappear

And live my life alone forever now

Who walks among the famous living dead

Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed

And if you could talk to me

Tell me if it's so

That all the good girls go to heaven

Well, heaven knows

That without you is how I disappear

And live my life alone forever now

And without you is how I disappear

And live my life alone forever now

Can you hear me cry out to you?

Words I thought I'd choke on figure out

I'm really not so with you anymore

I'm just a ghost

So I can't hurt you anymore

So I can't hurt you anymore

And now you wanna see how far down I can sink?

Let me go, fuck

So you can
Well, now so you can

I'm so far away from you

Well, now so you can

And without you is how I disappear

And without you is how I disappear

Whoa whoa (And without you is how I disappear)

Whoa whoa (And without you is how, is how, is how)

Forever, forever now
