A/N: thank you to all who have read/reviewed/fav/followed. Sorry this is not a chapter update, now to explain things. Yes this is the end of the story and yes this is how it ends; however I do have a sequel on the way it is called the girl in the castle and it picks up right where this story leaves off. I have a few more ideas and I don't want to leave it here as it is such a heartbreaking ending, I want something a bit more of a happy ending. I considered continuing this story or possibly making an alternate last chapter but ultimately, I have decided to continue this story as a sequel. Thank you for all the support an I hope to hear from you all again in the sequel. The sequel will be posted sometime within the next two weeks, hopefully within the next week. Again thank you all for the support.

Peace - Ljstarlight.
