Decades have passed since that night. She lies by his grave, her arms looped around his headstone. They're buried in their back garden, Helena and Drew. There's even an empty grave for Bonnie. Damon managed to escape and had a family of his own, although he was still plagued with nightmares well into adulthood. Nobody tried to move her this time- Celeste has finally found a place to spend the rest of her eternity. Her face and body are crumbling and cracks cover her body, but she refuses to move. She refuses to leave him. Never has and never will. Snapping his neck was the biggest mistake she'd ever made and she was determined to do her time for it. She'd stay with him until she withered away herself. Maybe in death, there'd be forgiveness. She's still there now, fated to hug that stone for all of eternity. You can go and see her if you want. Just listen carefully at night and you can hear her raspy voice, calling out mournful cries. By all means, go and visit her. But I warn you- keep your distance. People have been know to go to her and not return. At least not alive anyway. So I'll offer you this piece of advice. Now don't forget this, because it could save your life. Don't go near her, don't talk to her and don't touch her. Watch from a distance if you want, but for the love of God, don't blink. Because it may just be the last thing you ever do.
