Chapter 12: Finale

It had been an eventful day. All leading to this very moment by the sea. Luke had managed to stop Alice from killing the Gaurdian only to help him escape. With Luke in tow. The Gaurdian dragged Luke from the Mall to the harbor. At the harbor, there were some former Chosen members waiting. Instantly, a pang of fear struck Luke's heart. Not again.

"You're free to go Luke." The Gaurdian said as he untied the rope around Luke's neck.

Luke was confused. All of this and he was now free to leave. Just then the sounds of planes were heard overhead. This couldn't be. There hadn't been planes since before the virus. Something was coming.

"Do you hear that?" The Gaurdian said to Luke, "The true bringers of power and chaos. You can come with us to a safe haven for all believers of Zoot. Or you can take your chances out there. The end of days is upon us and soon all will have to answer to Zoot. So what will it be, Luke?"

Luke took a good long look at the man he had feared and respected for a long time. He looked at him and all he could see was a scared child. All around him he could see scared little children just like himself. And he was tired of it. He knew he could never grow following the herd, like some animal. So he took a long look at the Gaurdian and said:

"Good Bye Jaffa."

And with a quick turn he walked off. He walked toward the woods to start a new life all over again. But this time it would be different. He would be the master of his own fate. Luke would find the man he was destined to be. This part of Luke's journey was over. But in the woods was another journey waiting for him to take. And this time he would take that journey never failing to do the right thing.

So that is the end...so far. Please review. This was my very first fanfic and I enjoyed it whole heartedly. Thanks for reading!!
