Author Note- I want to thank everyone who reviewed, added to favorites, or alerts or whatever they did. It really means a lot at totally provides encouragement to write more. I'm serious. It makes me squeal happily and then go write more. This is by far, my most descriptive chapter and I am so freakin proud of it. :)

Also, some one suggested that I do a prequel and a sequel… what do you guys think? Will you be tired of me by then? ;) well, please please review and tell me what you think!

Epilogue-

Jamie and Ben walked down the side streets holding hands. They had been going out for six months now, and neither had forgotten the amazing and terrible events that had brought them to be together. Or the amazing girl for that matter. They walked and twirled, talked and whispered, laughed and cried. They were bonded by an invisible force that no creature on earth could break. This time though, they were just walking. Not speaking, just walking, each lost in their own thoughts. So lost, they never saw the Eraser on the rooftop.

Max smiled at their nativity. The Eraser had been stalking the duo since they left Malpath High. It had been a long six months since she had been in the little town. It hurt her heart to think about when she had left. Jamie's terrified expression, the hurt swirling in her eyes. Ben's understanding, but furious face that haunted her nightmares. Only recently had they begun to let up. The nightmares became less intense, if they came at all. Lately, she had been so caught up with protecting the rest of the flock from The School, she hadn't had time to think about her other friends. Only when she saw Ben on T.V. at a baseball game did she remember fully. She had to see if they were okay. Maybe it was mere coincidence the Eraser chose the same day, or maybe it was fate. She didn't know. Max watched Jamie and Ben break from their thoughts to pull each other into a kiss. She gave a remorseful smile. Not long ago she would have killed to be in Jamie shoes. But not now. Now, she had Fang. And she was more than in love. Still, a part of her burned to feel Ben's arms around her, to brush his cheeks, to feel his lips. All of those were things she could never have. Like she told Fang all those months ago, a piece of her will always belong here, in this simple life. The Eraser standing in front of her prepared to lunge, but she swung a metal rod she had been holding in her hand and with a resounding CRACK!, it's neck snapped and it tumbled from the roof, right in front of the kissing couple. Jamie let out a shriek and Ben yanked her back from it.

"Oh god." She whispered, pointing at Max. "Ben look." He looked up.

Max stood there, looking like an angel of doom. Her brown, white tipped wings (AN- I was re-reading the books, and could not for the life of me, find what color Max's wings were, so forgive me if it's wrong!) were half extended and her chocolate hair hung in messy, wind tossed ringlets. She was dressed in a pair of filthy jeans and a grey sweatshirt that was cover in dirt and blood. It looked like there used to be lettering on it, but it was faded, like the basketball shoes she wore. Her brown eyes were holding more horrors and secrets then the deepest and stormiest ocean. There were bags under her eyes and faint scars decorating her face. The months clearly had not been well to her. Or, maybe they had and this was looking good for her, battered, exhausted, and filthy. But also, beautiful, strong, and with a purpose. The young couple stared in awe as Max gave one slow nod, and then turned and sprinted to the edge of the roof. Her wings extended and with a powerful pump, she was off into the dark grey October sky. Ben wrapped his arms around Jamie as she cried. He knew Max wasn't coming back. It was too painful for all of them. More so for Max then Jamie or Ben. She saw that she would never again fit into this world. Ben knew it too. She didn't belong here, grounded, because she wanted to be normal.

She could never be normal. And for that, she would always be alone.

That was by far my best chapter. (In my opinion) I'm uploading the prequel, Lost Among Strangers, at the same time this goes up, so look for it later in the day, since it takes 4-8 hours to get up. :(
