Epilogue

Jen

I woke up in the hospital, completely groggy. I heard my heart monitor beeping and had a profound sense of de zavu. My doctor walked in and smiled at me. He had blond hair and dark eyes.

"You're finally awake," he observed.

"I noticed," I replied.

"You've been in a coma for five months. Your parents will be here soon."

"Where am I?"

"Phoenix, Arizona. Don't worry. The amnesia will pass in a week or two."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Seth Clearwater. You can call me Seth. I've been your doctor since you arrived. I've been training at this hospital while I'm getting my doctorate. I graduated high school at thirteen."

"I graduated at fourteen."

"I'm nineteen. It unnerves some people having such a young doctor. I think of it like Carlisle Cullen in Twilight."

"I'm seventeen. You read Twilight?"

"Yes," he replied sheepishly. "It's kind of dorky, I know. I get made fun of for having the same name as one of the wolves."

"You want dorky, I could have sworn that Carlisle was going to walk in instead of you."

"Really? Why is that?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try me."

He pulled a chair up beside me.

"Another time, maybe."

"Do- Do you want to go out some time?"

"I'd like that," I replied, smiling.

"So, let's here that story."

"Fine," I sighed. "No laughing. It was a dream I had. I woke up in a hospital, like this one, and Carlisle walked in."

Tatiana

We watched the Cullens go back to Forks, Washington with the new wolf pack. Cassie really has way too much fun with her creations. Zekia and Leah really were very cute together. He and his pack adored her. We'd have to go and visit them sometime, now that we had the ability to do so.

Amethyst was obsessed with making her creations the best they could be. Nessa grew up and was the torture of Alice's existence. She hated shopping, like her mother. Anna-Leah grew up slower than Nessa, but soon discovered her gifts. She could shift into a wolf, and change her appearance at will.

Amethyst and Lucinda manipulated all the vampires, making them vegetarian, like we had planned. Marcus was given the castle in Volterra, and turned it into a museum, in honor of St. Marcus. None of the unsuspecting tourists knew it was a museum for himself. He would take groups on tours, telling them "suspected" stories of the saint who rid the city of vampires. He even told people the "conspiracy theories" of Marcus being a vampire himself.

The whole thing was very bitter-sweet for me. My sisters got to change their creations, mold them, manipulate them. I was happy for them, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to have that joy, that satisfaction. I had nothing. My creation had been destroyed many centuries ago.

I walked into my old chambers in our castle in the spirit world. Everything was as it was before. I walked around my room, feeling the loneliness of not having creatures rely on me.

I finally felt the pain of a thousand dragons dying.

I opened my closet seeing the clothes I hadn't worn in two thousand years.

I felt the sadness of the separation that all our creations had felt in the beginning and that we felt since then.

I had always felt it, but had never known the reason.

I finally saw what I had wanted. I picked up the large silver stones and carried them back to my sisters. They looked at me and smiled.

Avari

I smiled at my extended family. It was hard to explain exactly what I was feeling. I was happy, yet I was empty. I knew it must have had something to do with Tatiana. She had been a part of me for so long, I wasn't used to her absence.

Pain seared through my back, as a flash of light filled the room. All three packs and my family fell silent. A package sat in the middle of the floor. I walked over and bent down to read the note attached to it.

Avari

This is one thing that I need done.

I know that you will carry out my wish.

It is hard to explain to you what you need to do with them.

They are Leben and Todesfall.

Be careful, they can be very dangerous.

I will help you control them.

They need to be understood, and kept secret.

You of all people know the importance of secrecy.

I know I can trust you with this task, because you are, in essence, a goddess within yourself.

Tatiana

Life and death? I have to control life and death, and with her help?

I opened the box and saw two stones made of a silvery substance. Each of the stones had a jagged line in it. Alice gasped behind me, pointing at my back. The tattoos were now all filled in with black ink. I crunching sound filled the room, and I looked at the box, instantly knowing what Tatiana ment by Leben and Todesfall.

The dragons lived on.

Todesfall-death

Leben-life

A/N Well, that's the end. I hope you all liked it. Eventually, there will be a sequal. For now, that is the end.
