Ah! The epilogue... The last chapter of Life Without Lissa! The end of an era you might say! Nah! You probably wont! But I'm just sitting here on my Poppy bedspread (Hell yeah!) basking in the glory of finishing my first fanfiction (The first of many! :P :D)

All through writing this I was saying epilogue over and over! So I also had my Dad telling me to say it properly...
for some reason I say it EP-IL-OW-GUE when your supposed to say it EP-IL-OG

I still own nothing! And I speak no english!

Enjoy!

Little Mason's POV

It was an ordinary day, perfectly ordinary. I had just finished extra training with Uncle Dimitri, or Guardian Belicov as I am told to call him. My mum was fussing about me not eating enough, again. Seriously, you'd think I was anorexic the way she fussed over me. Uncle Eric was busy representing all Dhampir's in court, attempting to get equal rights for us and to get the moroi learning offensive spells. Uncle Christian was as gloomy as ever. But he had published his book now, after editing out all the little rants he did it only had 500 pages! It cheered him up a bit to see people enjoying his work.

An alarm rang, interrupting me from my musings. I knew this alarm, the strigoi alarm!

I turned and ran for the chapel, the closest safe ground, if the story of Dad, Aunt Rose, Uncle Christian and my namesake getting kidnapped had taught me anything, it was to only fight when you know there is a way. And if you think there is a way, make sure its plausible.

Without warning, a strigoi jumped in front of me. I tried with all my might to fight him, but he was too strong. He backed me up against a thick tree and I could feel his cold, disgusting breath on my neck.

There was suddenly a ray of light and a girl who looked around my age appeared. She grabbed the strigoi and ripped his head off. She looked at me with a clear gaze.

"Are you ok, Mason?"

I was shocked into speechlessness. This girl had just appeared out of thin air, ripped a lunatic strigoi's head off, and not a single hair of her thick black curls was out of place!

"Wh-wh-who are y-y-you?" I stuttered.

She grinned, "Your father had the same reaction when I first met him. Now come on, the fight is over. I'll bring you to your family." She looked squarely into my eyes. "All of them."

"Ok, now I'm really confused." I said.

The girl just giggled, grabbed his hand and ran to the administrative building.

When they entered the room all the guardians were in Mum just yelled, "Mason! Oh, thank god!"

She hugged him hard and showered him with kisses.

"I thought I lost you." she mumbled.

I laughed, "You'll never lose me Mum."

Aunt Rose looked intrigued, "How did you know we were here, Mason?" she asked.

"Oh," I said. "Funny story, this girl appeared out of thin air and ripped a strigoi's head off right in front of me! Then she knew my name and said something about bringing me to all my family, emphasis on the all. It was weird. She's gone now."

I looked around, sure enough she had vanished.

"Mason." Uncle Adrian said. "Did you see Christian?"

I shook my head, "No, surely he would be here with you guys."

They all shook their heads.

Aunt Rose grabbed my shoulders, "Mason this is very important. You have to answer me this in as much detail as you can… What did this girl look like?"

I gave her a puzzled frown, "Umm, black curls, extremely pale, around your height, quite thin, she seemed to have some kind of aura?"

Aunt Rose breathed out an unsteady breath and looked to Uncle Dimitri. He nodded grimly, answering her silent question. She stood up and backed away into his arms.

The girl appeared before us. She smiled sadly, "He's with Lissa now."

My family all nodded smiling a little.

The girl turned to me, beaming. "Now! Let me see my godson!"

"Your what?" I burst out.

Everyone started laughing. Except me.

"What? You look the same age as me! How can you be my godmother? How can you appear out of thin air? Why does everyone seem to know you? What's going on?" all my questions came out at once.

The girl giggled and pulled me into a hug, she whispered in my ear. "My name is Poppy and I am an angel. Your angel in fact. I knew your family long before you were born, I made a promise to them that I would always keep you safe."

She pulled back and smiled at me "I'm your Aunt Rose's godmother too!"

"What?" Aunt Rose screamed. Everyone began laughing again.

Three more bursts of white light appeared and three people stepped out, one was Uncle Christian, he looked younger and happier then I had ever seen him. His arm was around a pretty moroi girl with long platinum blonde hair. Next to them was a man I recognised as my name sake. Mason Ashford. He grinned at me.

"Now the gangs all back together!" Uncle Adrian said cheerfully, "How lovely!"

Everyone laughed. And Aunt Rose looked at me in such a way, that I believed with this group of people by my side. I would be happy forever. And I knew they would never leave me. After all! They were my heavenly family!

Sorry for such a cheesy ending! But I think its a pretty cheesy story...

Anywho! If you are confused from that, Christian got himself killed in a really random, really short strigoi attack! And everyone is happy because they know he is at peace!

Well... thats the end of Life Without Lissa. If you enjoyed that you may want to check out some other fanfics I've done! ;);) I've got two going right now, I'm thinking of starying another, now I have time cuz its summer and I haven't got this FanFic on my shoulders!

Anyway! Thankyou so much for reading, it really means a lot to me!

Lots of love
