Sorry if there was any confusion in chapter 6. It wasn't Malice that Caila was calling evil, it was Vilandra. Sorry about that.

Chapter 8: So It Is Written, So It Shall Be

The charm of the necklace glowed bright red. "Alex," a voice whispered. "I love you. I promise I won't ever leave you." A hand caressed her face.

Alex looked at Mason, who she was holding in her arms. He had just transformed back to a human.

"Mason!" cried Alex. "You're back! You're human again!"

He sat up, which was difficult to do since he was still injured from the thorns. They hugged and Alex continued to hold Mason in her arms.

"So what the heck happened?" asked an unfamiliar voice. Just about everyone looked over to Caila who was looking down at Feather, who had just transformed as well.

"Feather?" she asked.

"In the flesh," the girl chimed.

"I am so confused," muttered Alex. "Can we start back at the beginning? Is Feather a werewolf-turned-wolf too? And Vilandra, why did you say you were Caila? And how did you even know where to find us, to find me?"

"Well," started Caila, "we were there that night when Mason was turned into a wolf and when Juliet lost her vampire powers."

"What do you mean you were there?" asked Justin.

"Pixies can change their size so they look like flies or even specks of dust, fairies can cloak themselves or hide themselves away from prying eyes, and wood nymphs can become the souls of plants," explained Malice.

"After I transformed into a wolf, that's when Vilandra took me in and took care of me. I didn't know who she was at first but I remembered her after she continuously reminded me that I chose Juliet over herself," Mason continued. "Malice and Caila were also there and told me about the prophecy. After long hours of trying to communicate with me, Malice finally figured out where I lived and then Vilandra kidnapped me. I tried running away after we got to New York but I figured that wasn't the best idea after she was enrolled in school and she took you and Harper to Central Park, Alex. I was afraid she was going to try to kill you."

"But why? I mean, if were are part of the prophecy, why kill us?"

"Jealousy," muttered Juliet.

"Yeah, but Caila made it seem like she was going to kill Mason too. I don't get it."

Mason stroked Alex's face. "Even if she did kill you, that doesn't mean that I would love her."

Vilandra huffed. "If I couldn't have him, nobody could."

"Right. So, in trying to find a way back here, you lead her to us not knowing. So, it was just you, Malice, Caila, and Vilandra on a boat back here."

"And me," piped Feather.

"And you," added Alex. "Who are you, Feather?"

"I am a Native American Werewolf. When America was invaded I fled, but not before seeing the death of my family. I fled to Transylvania and about two years ago I was turned into a wolf by a vampire."

"So, how come you changed back?" asked Alex.

"There really was no cure for this. It just depends on a blue moon. It transforms you back no matter what. It was in the lore of my tribe. I didn't think it was actually real, but then again, nobody of my tribe had been turned into a wolf."

"You lived in a tribe of werewolves?" asked Mason, his curiosity getting the best of him.

Feather giggled. "Yeah."

"Ahem." Alex cleared her throat, annoyed.

"What?" he asked.

"Were you just flirting with her?"

He laughed. "No. I love you. No matter what." He looked back at Feather. "But she needs a place to stay, to live. Only as a friend." He thought about that for a second. "No, not as my friend, as my werewolf sister."

"Oh, thank you, Mason. I am grateful."

"Does the tribe still exist?" he asked. She shook her head. "And every Native American needs a tribe, but two people can't make up a tribe alone." Mason looked at Caila, Malice, and Vilandra. "You three can also be our tribe sisters."

Alex smiled at his generosity but one thing was still bugging her. "The prophecy? What does it say?"

"Well," started Vilandra. "It specifically mentions me, Caila, and Malice."

"How?" asked Juliet. "Does it mention your names specifically?"

"No," answered Malice. "It mentions 'The cousins of The Forest', not the three of us by name."

"Then how do you know it's you? What does that mean anyway?" asked Alex.

"'Of The Forest' is what I said my name meant when on my first day," said Vilandra. "When I was impersonating Caila."

"Caila means of The Forest," deduced Alex. "But that's just Caila then."

"Negative," said Malice. "My middle name is Caila and Vilandra's is Cailan which can still be translated to 'Of The Forest'."

"And you know for sure the four of us are part of the prophecy too?" asked Alex.

"Well, the prophecy talks about a vampire and werewolf who dated and then they break up and date wizards. Juliet and Mason are a vampire and a werewolf and they dated and they are now dating wizards."

"And what else does this prophecy speak of?" asked Justin.

"It doesn't really say but it says something about breaching the dimensions of reality."

"So it is written, so it shall be," said Feather ominously.

And that's the end of Forever and Always. Now, for the sequel...I'm sure most of you haven't seen Roswell. It's about aliens and the conspiracy of Roswell, New Mexico. I will have actual episode summaries on my myspace page. This is the link to my myspace page: myspace . com / bookworm_007 (without the spaces of course)

After I have all the episode summaries up, I will proceed to post the sequel.
