Chapter 10: Last Day Part 1. Sorry it took so long. Got lazy.

Catalina and Red Fern walked down the hall and into the kitchen for breakfast. Catalina opened the refrigerator and looked inside. "How do you feel about an omelet with ham and cheese?"

Red Fern who was looking at the bread rack turned his head. "That sounds alright. I was thinking about making some toast with melted cheese and herbs."

Catalina pulled out 2 eggs and the ham that was in a container. "So you want me to get some cheese for you as well?" She placed the eggs and ham on the counter and started pulling out the cheese.

"Yeah if you will." He pulled out a loaf of bread and pulled some herbs from the herb rack.

The two worked silently in the kitchen making their breakfast. After their food was done they sat at the table and ate. "I wonder why it's so quiet."

Red Fern shrugged. "Probably because it's the last peaceful day before the Apocalypse begins." He took a drink from his orange juice.

Catalina stared at her food. She sighed and looked up at Red Fern. "After we finish eating I need to call Circle Regeneration and go through the check list. Then we can do something together for the rest of the day."

"No last minute training?"

"… No. I think I'll just stay with you today."

-*- Thierry and Hannah -*-

The two walked hand in hand to their room. Once inside Hannah sat on the bed and watched as Thierry stretched. "Hey Thierry."

"Yes?" He looked at her through the mirror. Their room was the biggest bedroom in the whole mansion. It was the same layout like Red Fern's and Catalina's bedroom but much bigger in comparison. The only difference was that there was a dresser with a mirror in the room and the closet door was in the bedroom and not in the bathroom which meant that the layout of the bathroom was also different.

"I don't know how I can say this but… I'm scared."

He turned around then. "For what Hannah?"

She shrugged softly. "From the Apocalypse, from Hunter, for the Circle and every being in the world, Night Person or not."

Thierry nodded and he walked over to her and sat on the bed next to her. "I know. To tell you the truth, so am I. I'm almost as frightened as all of the times I saw you die."

"Thierry…" She called him softly. She slid her arms around him and he did the same as well. "I love you."

"I love you too Hannah. I always have and always will." She nodded in agreement and the two leaned in. The kiss was soft but it also had a feel of urgency, as if that was their last kiss. They pulled away and she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder.

-*- Ash and Mary-Lynnette -*-

"Tonight is perfect!" Mary-Lynette screamed out. Her voice seemed to echo inside the library.

Ash covered his ears. "Mary-Lynette. Could you yell any louder?" He teased her.

"Yes, but I'll spare your ears." She smiled at him. "Oh come on Ash. We have to tonight!"

"No we don't."

"Yes!"

Mark poked his head into the library. "Hey sis? You alright?"

Jade's head poked out under him. "We heard you yell."

Kestrel and Rowan came into full view in the doorway. Kestrel flung her arms in the air. "Not this again!"

Rowan brought her sister's arms down. "Now could you tell us why you yelled?"

Mary-Lynnette nodded enthusiastically. "Tonight there is going to be no clouds and it's going to be a nice night to star gaze, but Ash here won't join me." Ash only shrugged as he turned his back on them.

"Cool." Jade said as she came into full view. "Can I go?"

"And if she goes I want to come too!" Mark said as he jumped to Jade's side.

Mary-Lynette smiled. "The more the merrier."

Rowan smiled. "So I guess you won't mind if I come too?"

"No problem."

Kestrel groaned. "I don't know. It might be boring."

"Boring? Every here's going to come." Mary-Lynette said as she placed her hands on her hips and she glared at the back of Ash's head.

"I'm not going." He simply said.

'Ash… please?'

'No. Not with all of them going.'

'Oh come on. It won't be that bad. We could always get away later. Please? It won't be the same without you. Like the first time we star gazed.'

Ash sighed and turned. "Fine."

Kestrel shrugged as well. "I guess I'll come as well."

-*- Delos, Maggie and Miles -*-

"I'm so glad you decided to stay with us Miles." Maggie said as she hugged her brother. The three were outside currently in the gazebo. Delos who was sitting on the swinging bench only nodded.

"I can't leave my little sis here." He quickly looked to Delos. "I mean I know you're here but you know, I just feel better if I am actually here."

Delos shrugged. "I feel the same. Don't worry about it." Maggie smiled and sat abruptly next to Delos on the swing. She then pushed him into the corner and she patted the empty space next to her. 'I don't like being pushed against the corner.'

'Just work with it. I haven't seen my brother in ages!'

'… A week?'

'…Shut up.'

'No.'

'Yes.'

'Make me.'

Maggie was about to kiss him when Miles pulled her back. "Please… With all that is good and decent, don't do that in front of me."

"Fine." Maggie crossed her arms over her chest and shot a sideways glance to Delos who had a smirk on his face.

'I knew that you wouldn't make me.' Maggie stomped her foot into the ground and Miles looked at her funny. Delos just threw back his head and laughed. 'I love you Maggie.' He moved his arm around her shoulders.

Maggie's face softened and she sighed. She snuggled closer to him. 'I love you too.' She then noticed something. 'Hey! We have three royals and your ancestor! Cool.'

Delos's eyes narrowed. 'Thanks for ruining the moment.'

Maggie giggled and she placed her arm through her brother's and she held onto Delos's other hand. "Just one big happy family."
