They say that change is easy, pain free and the greatest feeling they've ever had in their lives before. For me, change is what almost got me killed-on the night of our former anniversary date.

What did I ever do to deserve this? I thought Gott was watching and protecting all of his children. Was I not good enough for his eyes? Was I a worthless little bug to him? I might as well be, Gott never really cared about me, anyway.

Here, I lay on the cold, porcelain floor as my life flashes before my dimly lit crimson eyes. Are people calling out to me? I cannot tell..is someone holding onto my hand? That, I cannot tell, either.

"Maria, stay with me!" Frantic screaming seemed like nothing more than a fainted whisper, as if it was beckoning me to sleep like a soulless lullaby as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

Near death, there's thousands of things that I regret. The biggest regret that seemed to continuously stab into my already bleeding heart—was dragging you into this.

Roderich, I know that I am a fool for letting you but into my own personal affairs, but I had no other choice.

I loved you. I wanted to keep you safe, and away from me.

But you continued to come back, much like a lost cat or a boomerang. I didn't wish to hurt you more, so I let you into my locked doors—and led you into the dark light that was my fate.

I know I never got to tell you that I loved you, how could I? I was being hunted and tormented, like a cat who only wished to be free as a bird, but was the bird that got eaten by the cat instead. Yet, there's no time like the present to finally say it, right?

My body is so numb—I don't even feel you put pressure onto my hands as you held it. Am I loosing a lot of blood? I feel so weak; my body looks paler than it already is. Being an albino doesn't help much, does it? I didn't even feel the crystal tear, tainted with fear and hatred roll down my face.

Am I crying? Can you tell me that, Roddy?

Bruder, I feel so cold. Am I really dying?

I see a bright light at the end of this hell hole, filled with ruined bodies and souls as mine seems to rise up. There's someone standing in front of me-in the bright light.

I think it's Vati. He's holding his hand out to me. Should I take it?

He seems so sad, but he has a smile on his face. Why is that, Ludwig?

Vati's saying something. Can you hear him? What did he say? I couldn't hear him—I only saw his lips moving.

I can no longer think and hold onto life as my eyes drifted shut-destined to be shut for all eternity.

"Welcome home, Teuton."

HELLO PEOPLE.

If you didn't know, (which I'm doubting you have.) this is the new-er and improved version of my previous story You Get What You Get.

Yes, this is gonna be completely different-I have it all planned out. I actually wrote notes about this at like..12:30 in the morning while I couldn't sleep! Happy day~

Also, don't freak out about this epilogue, it's not spoiling the whole story, is it? I hope not, that'd suck!

Like? Hate? Wish to burn it? Want me to move back to the original story? Review and tell me what you think!

Keep writing for the entertainment of others,

Angel of Patience.
