Ta fan Ashley writes about how Twilight gives backnbspTwilight Gives Back by AshleyIf all else perished and he remained I should still continue to be and if all else remained and he were annihilated the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. These words should not be unfamiliar to Twilighters for they are found in the twentiethseven chapter Needs of Eclipse. But these are not Bellas wordsno they belong to a literary heroine onehundredsixty years before Bellas time Catherine Earnshaw of Wuthering Heights.
