Chapter 10- The Conclusion

"Who are you?" Boomer asked.

"I am Luna, and we were under the rule of Aaron." She said. "I was second in command. That is until you officially killed him. Now I will have to take his place in leading our people."

"Wait, you mean that werewolf Aaron that we met yesterday?" Brick said. "But I thought Boomer killed him."

"He did kill him now, but it wasn't on the day that you encountered him. And you did not met him yesterday; it was a few days ago." Luna said. "Your soul and body was being taken over by Aaron to where you blacked out after he had control."

"What!" Brick exclaimed in disbelief. "You mean I've been out for days and that creep was controlling me?"

"Yes. He was trying to eliminate your soul so that he could have your body to not only claim your brother, but to also make his vision come true." Luna said.

"And what vision is that?" The Professor asked.

"…To destroy the human race so that our kind could take over the world." She said.

"And do you plan on carrying out his plan to avenge him?" Boomer said, glaring at her.

"Not in the least. In fact, we've been trying to find him to stop his horrid plan." Luna said. Boomer's glare turned into a shocked expression as did everyone else.

"But, we thought you followed him." Brick said.

"We did, until we realized his true intentions." Luna said. "For centuries, our kind has been living in an underground society. We have always wanted to live in peace with the human race so that they could understand us, but humans feared our appearance and have made horrible stories and rumors about us, forcing us to hide in the shadows. Though we could easily take over them, it would make us no better than them, it would cause us to become the things they expect us to be. But Aaron thought differently. Instead of making peace, he wanted to exterminate every human on the planet and rule as the leader of the world. When we found out about his scheme, we reported him and had him demoted as our leader. He was so upset about it he ran off, never hearing from him again, that is until we heard about constant werewolf attacks."

"We knew that it was Aaron, so we began a search to find and stop his wrong doings. But when we found him, he was dead but we could still sense his presence. That's when we knew he used the forbidden practice of soul transferring. As we continued to search, we had no luck find his aura since his soul was fusing with someone else's. But a while ago, we found your location easily knowing that the transfer was almost complete and instantly followed it. We were going to deal with Aaron ourselves but you beat us to it. We are very grateful that you stopped this menace and sorry for what you had to endure these past few days."

"Wait, what is she talking about? What did you guys have to endure?" Brick asked. Everyone grew silence, forming somber expressions while Boomer was on the verge of tears again. Brick grew even more confused and worried at the silence.

"Guys…was what I did really that bad?" Brick asked, another wave a silence rolled by.

"Boomer, perhaps I should tell him." Jake's mom said.

"No, he's my brother; he deserves to hear it from me." Boomer said sadly.

"Boomer…what exactly did I do?" Brick asked. Boomer stayed silent for a few minutes, wincing and shaking mentally about what Brick was becoming those past few days. Those memories still scared him, so badly that he never wanted to talk about it again and wanted things to go back to normal. But how could it? Things could never go back to the way they were with what Brick tried to do to him and Jake dead. His heart dropped to the deepest depths of his gut. But he had no choice, Brick was his brother and he deserved to know what that bastard did while he was in his body. Taking a long and deep shaky breath, he finally spoke.

"You…you tried to rape me." Boomer began. Instantly, Brick's eyes widened with horror. "Not only that, you tried to kill everyone that helped hid me. And not too long ago you…you…" Boomer chocked, a lump was forming in his throat as tears fell down his face. Before he broke down, he spoke again. "You killed Jake. You killed him when he was trying to protect me." Brick couldn't believe what he was hearing. He didn't remember any of that. And even so, he would never do anything to hurt Boomer, Jake, or his family. Brick was completely silent.

"Y-you're…you're joking right? Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke." Brick said, still in shock.

"I wish it was. I wish it was a sick joke too but…it true. And Jake…" Boomer said as he retrieved Jake, resting his lifeless body on his legs. "Is right here." Brick stared at the corpse that was his friend, feeling his body stiffen. He was angry at himself for letting this happen as tears formed in his eyes.

"Boomer I… I'm sorry…" Brick said quietly. "If I had known…"

"It's not your fault, you were being controlled and you had no way to stop it. I'm not mad at you at all." Boomer said. "And what Jake did was his decision. He knew that he would probably die trying to protect me, but that didn't matter to him. What he did was so brave and yet…I wish I could've stopped him." Brick saw his brother's hands shake as tears continued to fall from his eyes. He felt so guilty and angry. He knew that all of this was Aaron's doing, but knowing that he hurt everyone close to him with his own hands made him feel just as guilty. And now he took away the only true friend Boomer had, the only one he cared for and the only one he loved. Brick crawled over to his brother and gently embraced him. Boomer was surprised at the sudden gentleness, forgetting how good Brick's hugs could be, especially when those memories were filled with almost getting raped by your brother. But that didn't matter now; Boomer finally broke and cried uncontrollably in Brick's chest. Brick gently rocked the boy while whispering comforting words in his ear, constantly saying it's gonna be alright. Suddenly, Luna broke the silence.

"Excuse me, 'Boomer' is it?" She said. Boomer looked up at her once he calmed down. "This 'Jake' person, was he someone special to you?" Boomer looked down, quiet for a moment but finally spoke.

"He…was my everything." Boomer said quietly.

"…I see…well if you don't mind, may I examine him?" She asked. The two brothers gave her a questionable look and she took notice to this.

"It's okay, you can trust me." She reassured. The two exchanged glances and gave their approval by nodding. She calmly kneeled over Jake's body and hovered her hands over him. A blue aura radiated from her hands and she closed her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she shot her eyes back open.

"Well…this is certainly interesting." She said.

"What do you mean?" Brick asked.

"Well his soul is in a state of limbo, it's when your soul is debating on whether to go back to the body or pass on." She explained.

"So he's not dead?" Boomer asked a gleam of hope in his eye.

"He's not dead but he's not alive either. But it's unusual for a human soul to do that. Unless…" She began to trail off.

"Unless what?" Boomer asked. She looked at the blonde, then towards Jake's family. They gave her a pleading look not to say any further and she respectfully agreed.

"Unless he is a very strong willed person." She lied. Boomer gave her a small smile.

"Yeah…he is." He said.

"Well in that case, this shouldn't take long." She said. Before Boomer could ask what she meant, she placed her aura filled hands on Jake's chest and gave a quick push, transferring the energy through his whole body. Everyone watched in amazement as Jake's body glow with the energy. Soon, it started to fade and everyone watched intently, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, Jake began to groan as his eye fluttered open. Boomer, along with the others, gasped as Jake's chest started to rise and fall and parts of his body started to twitch. His eyes slowly opened finally showing his light green irises, instantly seeing Boomer hovering over him and his navy blue eyes filled with tears. The two stared deeply into each other's eyes not saying a word. They both got to see the love of their lives again and words could not express how happy they were. They didn't need words. Jake sat up in front of Boomer, not taking his eyes off of him once. He took Boomer's face into his hands, gently caressing his tear stained cheeks with his thumbs. Jake smiled warmly and that's all it took. Tears broke free once again as Boomer smiled; Jake pulled the blonde towards him and shared a loving, passionate kiss. Boomer wrapped his arms around Jake's neck as the other wrapped his around his waist to deepen the kiss. Everyone watched the two and smiled happily.

"Awww, isn't that sweet?" Jake's mom said.

"Yeah, it is." Brick said. As he watched the two, he finally processed what they were doing and grew shocked.

"Wait…did he just…and are they…wait what…"Brick stuttered, trying to speak pass his total shock. Jake's family chuckled.

"Don't worry, we'll explain it later." Jake's dad said as he patted Brick on his shoulder. The pair finally broke the kiss and lightly panted, both of their cheeks stained a light pink.

"Boomer?" Jake finally spoke. "I'm sorry for scaring you like that. I just do think when you're in danger. You know I'll do anything to protect you." Boomer smiled.

"It's fine, don't worry about it. I'm just glad that you're back." Boomer said as he hugged Jake, nuzzling his face into his chest. Jake smiled and returned the hug as he ran his fingers through Boomer's hair.

"If it helps, I won't do anything like that again." Jake said softly.

"It would help…but knowing you, that's the last thing you would want to do." Boomer said just as soft. "Just promise me you'll be more careful next time okay?"

"Okay…I promise." Jake said.

"Good…I love you so much." Boomer said.

"I love you too." Jake said. Luna observed the loving display and smiled.

"Well, since everything is taken care of we should be going now." She said. Jake jumped at the new voice and quickly turned towards the wolves.

"Whoa, when did they get here!" Jake exclaimed. Boomer chuckled.

"That's the same reaction I had." Brick said. Jake turned to the other voice and grew shocked.

"Brick? Brick you're back!" Jake said happily. "How did you get back to normal?"

"We'll explain everything later." Boomer chuckled.

"Farewell everyone, hopefully we'll meet again." Luna said. With that, her and her pact disappeared into the forest.

"Well this was an adventure wasn't it?" Jake's mom said.

"Indeed nit was." The Professor said. "But I think I'm going to go home and get some sleep."

"After today, we all need some sleep." She said. "Come on boys, we'll take you home." With that said, everyone walked through the forest to go home.

"Hey guys?" Brick said to Jake and Boomer.

"Yeah?" the two responded.

"…I still want to know what that kiss was all about." Brick said. The couple looked at each other and smiled. They then turned back to Brick.

"Well Brick, it all started a few days ago…" Jake began.

After explaining what happened over the past two weeks, everyone departed for home. Later that night, Jake stared out his window at the bright full moon, lost in deep thought. He was soon pulled from his thoughts when he heard his door open. Jake turned to see his dad in the doorway.

"Hey Jake, dinner's almost ready if you're hungry." His dad said.

"Okay, I'll be right down." Jake said.

"You know Jake; you gave us quite the scare in the forest. We actually thought we had lost you." His dad said. "Especially Boomer, he was crying his soul out for you."

"I know…I really didn't mean to scare anyone. I just…I would never forgive myself if I lost him and the attack was so sudden. I didn't have time to think." Jake said solemnly.

"We know and it's okay. You did what you had to do." His dad reassured. "But Jake."

"Yes dad?"

"…When are you going to tell him the truth about us?" the room grew quiet as an awkward silence rolled by.

"…I don't know…but soon." Jake finally said.

"Well why not tell him now? He's been your friend for years and now that he's your boyfriend, now would be a good time to let him know." His dad said. "He already knows part of our secret. He deserves to know the whole thing."

"I know…but…" Jake trailed.

"I understand that you're scared of the outcome, but if he truly loves you, none of it should matter to him. You know that right?" his dad said.

"…Yes…yes I do." Jake said.

"Then you have nothing to worry about." He said with a smile. "Come down stairs when you're ready." With that, his dad walked out and closed the door behind him. Jake sighed as he turned back to the window, looking at his reflection.

"Dad…I hope you're right." Jake said to himself. Suddenly, his eyes turned from light green to blood red instantly, showing clearly on his reflection. He soon walked away from the window and headed down stairs.

THE END...OR IS IT?

Well that's it. I would like to thank everyone who supported this story and left really encouraging comments that kept me going. Hopefully I'll make a sequel to this and probably a prequel to go with the trilogy to the JAKE AND BOOMER COUPLE! But until then, goodbye and peace out!
