SORRY! This chapter hasn't been BETA'D cause I didn't hear back from them and I needed to put it up while I had the chance as my laptop is being icky still so I'm using my dad's computer. Anyways I'll upload the epilogue a bit of time after this has gone up.

Lisette

I see light in my eyes as I wake up. As my vision clears I see Bertrand standing over me, and Vlad in the corner.

"What happened?" I ask worriedly.

"You were unconscious, for a week. The battle finished after two days and we won." Vlad tells me.

"Is everyone ok? Where's Ingrid?" I ask, worried for my friend, someone else who knew what I was like to go unloved for so long.

"She's… She's dead." Bertrand tells me, as I start crying he pulls my head onto his shoulder, letting my weep on it.

Four days have passed since I woke up and I've barely been apart from Bertrand, especially since after Ingrid's funeral. My feelings for him have grown even more, and I fear I am in love with him. I just wish he felt the same.

Bertrand

Every day I tell myself that I will tell Lisette of my feelings yet every day I chicken out. Vlad confronted me about her and me yesterday, ordering me to tell her. Here goes nothing, I knock on her door.

"Come in Bertrand." Her voice calls. As I enter I see her putting on lipstick, making me want to kiss her, but I can't, at least not yet.

"I need to talk to you about us." I say taking her hand and pulling her to face me.

"What do you mean?" She asks, a look of confusion passing over her face.

"I mean that I've been having feelings for you since a but before the battle, and since we've been getting closer recently, I've realised that I love you." I confess before feeling a pair of soft lips upon my own.

So yeah they kissed. Just the epilogue left now.
