I have my suspicions that Edward may be the man talking with Abby over the pit Bella is in, or at least survived. I don’t really know why. The sheer number of times he was mentioned as “the man” made it feel to me like you really didn’t want him identified. Bella didn’t find a ring in the ashes, and Abby and “the man” never referred to any gender, so it could have been Irina attempting to go berserk on the wolves or Bella. The only males present were Aro, Demetri, Afton and Edward, and Bella has heard them all except Afton. It’s possible Edward was subdued by Alec and extremely tweaked by Chelsea and Abby to the point where Bella doesn’t recognize his voice though.
I’m certainly no Edward lover (yours was good though), so I’m fine either way. Bella won’t have a happy ending even if she achieves all her previous goals if he’s dead though, so that would be sad. For a moment there I thought both Bella and Edward would die, leaving the sequel to Elspeth.
Bella’s never heard Demetri speak; what are you talking about? And Chelsea and Addy don’t change anyone’s voice. The guy Addy’s talking to is Demetri. That’s not a big deal, it’s just not something Bella could have figured out.
Oh. I don’t know where I got it from that Bella had heard Demetri. Maybe I confused the brief meetings with the Volturi with that of other stories’. I’m going to hang on to my hunch that Edward is still alive and that the ashes are Irina’s, though.
