The storyline, new character development, new events, and new characters are my intellectual property. Glorioux

This is it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Maybe one day I will expand this, but for now.

i like my favorite characters to live a double life, for normal people to think they are one of them. I am not sure who decides what is acceptable fanfiction. Such a distinction would limit the imagination. But everyone is entitled to their opinion; even when people can only see monochrome, which is also fine.

Best wishes and a happy day.

So here we go; a last chapter, it went too long.

Finders and Endings

"No, he won't," A deep melodious voice spoke behind them.

Lizzie saw their king. He wasn't alone; many were with him, mostly warriors surrounded him. Lizzie cried a tear of happiness. Like all her people, she loved him, even those who turned against him, loved him.

They all appeared in the old dungeons, at once.

George froze in fear when he saw the king, he had never seen him. George had heard that he had stayed away from the human world since the wars over 150 years before. He had assumed that he would never come back.

The King of the Fae stood in the middle of the room. This day he chose to be nearly a giant, who glowed with magic. His hair wasn't like any Lizzie had seen before. It was messy, little creatures flew in and out of it. It seemed as strands of fall foliage. His face was covered with a mask, she could imagine why.

He pointed a finger, and the knife turned into dust.

"You cannot be allowed to continue. I never intervened and couldn't because your darkness shields you. You destroyed William's father because you were not his heir. All that they gave you counted for nothing. They wanted to live as humans and have a peaceful life, but you couldn't let it go. But I will not kill any of my people, and you are one of them. Unfortunately your nature is such that you will do evil deeds no matter what you are; some beings cannot be redeemed. Hence, I will just add you to my collection, there is nothing else I can do."

George disappeared, in his place, a small pewter hyena stool. The king called the figurine and placed it inside a pouch. Then, he lifted Georgiana who was weak and not well, she was tied with a charmed chain, her hands were tied and a gag in her mouth, he freed her and held her like she was a young child.

"Little one, you need to obey your brother. I think next time you are willful, I will bring you with me; I can use your company." He kissed her forehead and sighed.

He passed the unconscious Georgiana to her uncle, who wrapped her in a shawl. He moved next to Lizzie and bowed. He took her hand and kissed it gallantly. "I will come for the naming of your child. Thank you, my dear, you found her. Tell your father to come and visit. We have plans to make, now that I know not all were no lost."

He looked at Darcy and touched his face, "Son, never take your life, you are the last male, all I have left; only thru you, the inheritance will pass. I wouldn't survive it and fade into the shadows forever. When I guessed your intentions, you were too far away. So your wife has my favor, forever. Leave this world and rule by my side. You have a wife, come with her."

"Yes, but we must find the others first." Darcy agreed.

"So be it." With this, he left as he came.

When they went back, Mrs. Reynolds took Georgiana, but before she left, Darcy blew on her eyes.

"She will remember getting away and maybe hiding until she found her way here; she needs to remember so not to disobey again. At least he didn't violate her, which I didn't think it was possible, though I wasn't certain. He wanted her to die so he didn't feed her, but we can survive for a long time without food or water." He kissed his young sister again. "All is well, for now. Just rest well, let us go to sleep; we need to since tomorrow we have guests."

New Horizons

That night when they went to sleep on each other's arms. Darcy smiled all night, his heart was lighter and full of hope. He would have never given Elizabeth a second look if this hadn't happened; he thought himself better than all, and he was above everyone. However, he learned much in a short time.

In the early morning, he reached for Lizzy and instead felt a small head, then another, he sat up, looked, and saw the four children two on each side of Lizzie. They were a tangle of arms and legs. Her arms were around, protecting them. They used to sleep with Georgia, they missed having a mother; or they would come to bed with him. At least none of them wet the bed anymore, not a pleasant feeling.

He smiled, "Poor babies," he whispered, got up, picked the four sleepers, and sent them to their beds floating. He sent a missive to Agnes to check on them, then he moved next to his wife, maybe he could wake her up.

Later

Elizabeth and Darcy welcomed her family. Charles was subdued, Jane, and Emanuel had announced their engagement; it made him regret lost opportunities. He knew he had made a mess of things and was grateful just to be here.

Elizabeth was happy to be with William. She had seen him from far and had misjudged as one of London aristocrats who looked down on them; she was glad that she had been wrong. She looked at her husband with love and pride.

Darcy had told Elizabeth that until he didn't talk to Charles, they would have to behave normally. He was used to, he entertained often, and nobody would have guessed who they were, not even their neighbors.

Charles had not seen much because he always came with his sisters that nobody trusted. He was locked inside for now. During the journey, he had gone to sleep.

When Darcy came to greet Charles, he saw thru him. Charles was neither a satyr nor a Nightshade, nor a full human; who knew what George did to him, or if it was the result of his unselfish act. He was something in between, but not necessarily bad. Darcy touched his shoulder, "Now, you remember. I know you wanted this, but I will take them away if you ever disobey or make more children out wedlock. My family is not for you, remember that."

Charles looked at his wings and went on one knee. Darcy laughed, "You can do this another time when Caroline is looking." Charles stood up and laughed with him, imagining Caroline's angry face. He was done with his sisters, he didn't want to lose Darcy's favor.

Darcy showed his other self to Elizabeth's family, who bowed when they saw the magic surrounding him. They understood why he seemed so proud, he should be. He laughed, "No need for that, I am family." He had done what he always did when in an open space, he wore a half mask; it was his Papa's rule, not to give a chance to those who might want to impersonate him.

"Look up," Lizzie told her, "Pemberley is an entrance hidden to human eyes, the one we hoped to find."

They couldn't believe their eyes, there were hundreds of them, even a couple dragons. Four young children with Nightshade wings flew down and were stuck to Elizabeth. The remained by her, looking at the newcomers until they saw Elizabeth's mother, Jane, and Kitty's wings and flew to them.

Jane recognized their hair and the looks, and Lizzie nodded. It wasn't the children's fault, but Jane was glad she had chosen one that would always love her best and wouldn't break her heart. They were lovely, Jane thought and held the little hand reaching for her. Emanuel knew it as well and loved Jane's generous heart. He reached for her other hand to join the others. His heart soaring with joy.

Lizzie's mother flew up, holding the hands of the two boys, the girls went with Kitty and Lydia, which made Elizabeth happy. Georgiana was still in bed, but came out to the balcony and waved hello.

Elizabeth held on to her husband's hand; she was ready to start life by his side.

She whispered. "I hope it is bedtime soon. I do love you so."

"I know, you said it on your sleep more than once. It is a good thing because I feel the same, my warrior princess. I also hope for the same, my love."

"You never told me, is Georgiana like you?" Elizabeth asked, she was curious.

"I didn't, you are correct, catch me." He grinned as he flew away.

The end?
