Chapter 10 Epilogue
Author's Note: This is the epilogue to my story. It basically says what happened to everyone once this was done. It's 3 years later.
Saya and Hagi, Kai and Kaori, David and Julia, their son Eri, Mao and Okamura, the twins, Mika and Suri, sat down to eat. Lulu and Lewis were there too. They were all peaceful now. There had been no chiropteran sightings in the past 3 years. They seemed to have evaporated along with Amshel. Kai had started taking care of Mika and Suri like they were his own and Kaori was helping a lot. Both Saya and Julia's bellies were round. Mao and Okamura still argued a lot, but they were doing better.
Saya looked around. This is where she belonged. She felt so at peace here, with Hagi and Kai by her side and a baby kicking in her stomach. She felt at home. The son outside shone brightly as Saya remembered all the people who had died in her fight, George, Irene, Moses, Solomon, Riku, and her very own sister, Diva. She missed them all. But she took solace in the fact that they would be happy for her and everyone else. They wouldn't want her to be unhappy on her account. She prayed for them.
"Could somebody pass the rice??" Saya asked to nobody in particular. After she broke the ice, everyone was happy and very talkative. Nobody would suspect that just a mere 10 years ago this little family were fighting monsters that were barely comprehensible to normal humans. Even within the people who knew about it, it seemed like a bad dream to most. Saya, Hagi, and Kai were the only 3 people who could still remember the pain of the chiropteran/human war. They still remembered the wounds inflicted. But Saya was the one who still felt a pain inside when she thought of how it was her fault all of her friends had died. But she was happy that finally, after all these years of fighting, the war was finally over. All the chiropterans and chevaliers were gone except 4. A single tear rolled down her face, but she wiped it away before anyone saw. It wouldn't do anybody good to see her crying. Instead, she smiled.
