Catharsis

Chapter #:
The Cullens stayed for an additional week before leaving the area. A new treaty was formed. One in which Carlisle agreed to assist with medical issues, and to perform yearly physicals for the wolves.
The Whitlocks, McCartys, and Cullens also agreed to assist with any problems with rogue vampires, which might arise; otherwise, they would refrain from residing in the area because they didn’t want the youth changing unnecessarily.
In any case, the coven members were going their separate ways for a while. Alice and Jasper were moving back to Texas, where they owned a ranch with Charlotte and Peter. Rose and Emmett were returning to Tennessee for a while.
Carlisle and Esme were venturing onto something completely different. Carlisle had been accepted to the Veterinary Program at the University of Washington. He was determined to learn about wolf physiology so he could help Leah. Meanwhile, Esme was going to attend the same college, but entering as a freshman majoring in Women’s Studies. Bella found it ironic that they’d all be attending UDub together.
With Edward’s death, Carlisle Cullen needed to disperse his assets. He did so with his new investment banker’s assistance. The very first thing he did was set aside money to rebuild the Swan’s La Push home for them. The entire house was to be razed due to the foundation damage it sustained. Ellen and Levi would be handling the rebuild. After that, he sold off Edward’s assets, and arranged for it to be divided up in four ways. Twenty-five percent would go to a fund that Levi would set up so that the wolves could further their education or start a business, twenty-five percent to the Quileute Nation, and twenty-five percent each to Bella and Paul because Edward attacked them in Port Angeles.
Of course, Levi Uley had extracted a promise from Carlisle that he wouldn’t tell Bella or Paul about their financial windfall. Instead, Levi took the money and held it in a private trust managed by him until they reached the age of thirty-five. He wanted the kids to succeed on their own terms, without the knowledge that they were quite wealthy.
Levi suddenly became very busy. In addition to handling the finances of all the vampires, he found himself handling the finances of the Quileute Nation. Charlie and Alison also handed over their meager portfolio to him.
“Can you build it up for us so we can at least retire in Hawaii?” Charlie had asked Levi while they were vacationing together in Hawaii.
Levi planned on doing that, and maybe boosting it up a bit with a small infusion cash from his own personal funds. Alison and Charlie, of all people, deserved to retire in comfort.
Life eventually returned to normal in Forks and La Push. Mrs. Morris, Edward’s final victim, was found dead in front of her apartment by neighbors. Carlisle Cullen paid for her burial, and also requested to Charlie that Lydia Morris be released from jail and placed into an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility, together with her brother, at his expense. Charlie, of course, agreed to it immediately. Unfortunately, Adam Morris died of an overdose before he could begin rehab.
Jared Cameron married his imprint Kim about a month following the vampire war. He worked as a trash collector and she worked at the tribal childcare center. They eventually had a boy and a girl, and were content living simple lives in La Push while raising their family. Jared never phased into wolf form again, and rarely consorted with the pack. He had closed that chapter of his life, never to revisit it again.
Once he returned to human form, Quileute Chief Billy Black found that he was able to walk on his two legs. Never again did he take his health for granted. He hit the gym thrice weekly with his buddies Charlie and Harry to stay in shape. He was grateful for the second chance that the spirits had given him. A year after he first phased, he married Joy Ateara-Quil’s mother, whom he imprinted on, much to the surprise of everyone in the pack.
Harry and Sue Clearwater were divorced about a month after he became a wolf. He became fed up with her complaining about everything under the sun. They got into an argument, which was heard throughout the reservation when Sue found out that the Uley seat would be restored and given to Sam when he turned thirty-five years of age. She ranted and raged that the seat should go to Leah, but Harry wouldn’t give in. It was soon afterwards that Sue declared she wanted a divorce. Harry gave it to her, along with the house. They shared custody of Seth, who lived chiefly with him.
Leah Clearwater married Embry Call immediately following his graduation from high school. By then, she lived in a house assigned by the tribe to her, and was working as a registered nurse at the tribal clinic. Her relationship with her mother had soured immensely when she moved out of the house and set up her own household. Once a week, she received counseling from Alison to deal with the issues she had. She was very grateful to Sam’s mother for helping her become more positive.
Embry Call, who was never very academically inclined, earned his certificate to become an auto mechanic after graduating from high school. He opened up his own shop in Forks and made a killing in profits. He had always been handy with cars, unlike his brother Sam, who had a tendency to break anything mechanical he touched. Embry loved his brother as much as he loved his imprint. He and Sam never let anything get between them again. Besides, his mother would have killed them both if they did. Eventually, Embry and Leah had five children-twins and triplets. Leah retired from nursing to care for her brood and was happier than ever.
Embry’s mother, Tiffany Call, married non-other than Harry Clearwater when he imprinted on her at Leah’s wedding. They eloped in Vegas a week later following a wild night involving jello shots and skinny-dipping. Tiffany gave birth to little Henry Clearwater nine months following their nuptials. Harry’s friend Charlie couldn’t stop laughing at him. “It’s a good thing you’re a wolf because you can throw all those retirement dreams away, buddy.”
Jake and Emily moved to Seattle after his graduation so he could attend the University of Washington, where he majored in aeronautical engineering, eventually becoming a chief engineer for Boeing. Emily became an in-demand, celebrity hair-stylist, charging $500 just for a haircut. She still cut Bella and Lauren’s hair for free, though. They refused to pay her, but she didn’t mind, she loved them both so much. The couple had three children, a girl and twin boys, whom they doted on. The kids each inherited their parents’ happy dispositions. The couple lived in Bellevue, Washington.
Lauren attended Peninsula College for one year, and then transferred to New York University when Quil graduated from high school a year later. After several years of furthering his education, Quil ended up becoming the tribal lawyer. Meanwhile, Lauren-who had majored in fashion design-started her own successful clothing line, making her debut splash when she designed the new Hooters uniforms while still in college. She was frequently called on to design costumes for Las Vegas showgirls. Lauren was credited with bringing jobs to the area when she opened up the factory for her clothing line in Forks. The couple lived in La Push with Quil’s grandfather and had adorable, twin girls named Willa and Quilla. Old Quil worried his family line would not continue, but he had no reason for distress, Lauren gave birth to twin boys named Will and Quil when the twins were twelve year old.
Rachel Black graduated from the University of Puget Sound, and was accepted to the University of Washington’s Dental School. She opened up her own clinic in Forks, and became a beloved dentist in the area. She also served as the tribal dentist on the reservation. Actually, she was the only dentist in the area. Paul and she were married after she graduated from dental school. They had been in absolutely no rush to tie the knot, especially with Paul’s career choice, which we’ll get into later.
Bella and Sam remained friends with everyone from their lunch table. The group still called themselves the ‘lunch table’ and they still got together once a month with their families for dinner at one of their homes. They looked after each other’s kids and they were there for each other in a pinch.
Mike Newton went to college at Seattle University. Katie and he had an amicable break up in the summer after high school graduation. He eventually married Angela Weber, whom he had comforted after Ben Cheney broke up with her prior to leaving for college. She attended the University of Puget Sound. The couple ran Newton’s Olympic Outfitters together and had three kids.
Ben Cheney attended Gonzaga University, became the calculus teacher at Forks High, and married a sober and reformed Lydia Morris, who wasn’t part of their lunch table-but was officially now. After the deaths of her mother and brother, and her stint in rehab, she reformed, finished high school, and was able to attend college due to a previously unknown college fund, which her ‘grandparents’ had started for her. Carlisle and Esme Cullen kept tabs on her from afar and were very proud of what she had become. They were happy that they were able to change the life of one woman in such a profound manner. Lydia took over the running of the Women’s Center after Alison retired, and she became just as beloved as her predecessor. Ben and she had two little girls, both of whom were raised with love and security.
Katie Marshall and Tyler Crowley tied the knot immediately following college. They were thrown together when they attended Washington State University. They both worked for Forks High School and had two children. She was the school nurse while he taught PE and coached football. Everyone still turned to Katie for the town gossip.
For example, she was the first to find out that Jessica Stanley became widowed when Riley Biers died heroically whilst taking part in an Army Special Forces mission. She never returned to Forks; instead, she remained in Georgia, where they had been stationed, and a few years later, married an army sergeant who had been friends with Riley.
Samantha Wells attempted to attend college, but hated it. She ended up becoming a mail carrier and marrying Austin Marks, who was a firefighter for the Town of Forks. They had four kids-all hell raisers, who were always being disciplined by the high school principal, Mr. Eric Yorkie.
After college, Eric Yorkie began as a special needs educator at the elementary school in Forks. He went back to school and earned his master’s degree in Education Administration. During that time, he met and married a Nez-Perce woman from Idaho named Bree Tanner, who was enrolled in the same program as he was. She became the principal for the tribal school in La Push. They had three children.
Josh Uley was convicted of one count of first-degree, attempted murder, one count of second-degree aggravated assault, car theft, and possession of illicit drugs. He was sentenced to two consecutive twenty-year terms, meaning he would most likely die in prison. Indeed, a year after his sentencing, he was found dead in the prison yard in the oddest of circumstances. He had been drained of all his blood along with a few other violent criminals. The mysterious prison homicides would remain unsolved for eternity. In any case, even if Charlie Swan had known that Peter and Charlotte Whitlock were passing through Walla Walla, Washington, where the prison was located, he didn’t mention anything to anyone.
After Alison was informed of Josh’s death, she gave no more thought to him. Instead, she put more effort into running the Women’s Center, reaching out to as many abused women as possible-one of them being Lydia Morris, post rehab. Charlie and she frequently visited the kids in Seattle while they were in college because they worried about them living in the big city. They became close friends with Levi and Ellen Uley, as well as, Renee and Phil Dwyer.
Phil played right field and became the Mariner’s designated hitter for eight years after he was brought up to the major leagues. After he retired, he started his own line of nutritional products, and made even more money than he did as a Mariner. Renee worked for one year as a teacher in Tacoma before retiring. She spent her time supporting Phil in his career and hovering over her daughter Bella, whom even she had to admit was a bit weird.
