This is the last chapter set of The Aftermath! Originally I was going to split these chapters up, but then Id have two super short chapters so I thought it would make more sense to combine them! Thank you guys for reading this is means a lot! Also thank you so much to all that reviewed! Especially Evx and Guest! Your reviews always made my day!:)

Okay y'all ready to see how this ends? We are back to Mina and Teague! Are you pumped?! You better be! Without further a due, here's chapter 25!

"Seam ripper?"

"Yup."

"Grimoire?"

"Yes, Teague."

Mina and Teague were speeding well over the limit down the freeway towards the city park. Teague made frequent glances in the rearview mirror to see if their teacher had caught up with them yet. They left well before her, but he had no doubt in his mind that she could show up any second.

Mina could see a figure in the road. When she realized they were speeding strait towards it, Mina's eyes bulged.

"TEAGUE!"

In front of them was Esmerelda, standing in their way, 500 feet ahead. She was barely visible, but Teague knew it was her. He could see her cat eyes glaring right at them and her sharp teeth were in a sneer. Teague slammed the brakes. They would never stop in time, he had been driving 95 mph.

Before they made impact to their teacher, they hit an invisible force field that cause their car to go spinning. It spun eight times and flew off the road into a ditch at the edge of the woods. The car landed on it's side.

"Mina!" No response. "MINA!"

"Sorry, right here. Other than a few scratches, I'm fine. How are you?" Mina said unbuckling her seat belt.

"I'm okay, we have to get out of here." Teague opened his door since the passenger side of the car was in the ground. He pulled Mina out of the car and started dragging her towards the woods.

"We have to go to the pond!" Mina yelled.

"I don't think that matters much now."

Their trek through the woods was all guess work. It was pitch black and had started to storm. The bushes on the ground were tearing up Mina's dress, but at this time, she couldn't care less.

"Where is she?" Teague said with obvious worry in his voice.

"Just keep running." Mina took the lead and started heading further into the woods aimlessly. After a few hundred feet, they heard a menacing laugh behind them.

They stopped and quickly hid behind a tree. There was a huge strike of lightning. It lit up the whole woods, and Mina could see the witch. She was across a trail. All of the sudden, cat eyes were on hers, and she could hear a menacing laugh. She gripped Teague's arm.

"I know you guys are in heerrreeee." Esmerelda sung with an eery voice. "I can smell you." A ball of magic was hurdled toward the wide tree Teague and Mina were behind. Both dropped down to make sure they weren't seen. Mina had to bite her tongue to keep herself from screaming.

"On 3. I'm going to get up and run." Mina whispered. "She'll be distracted. That's when you are going to attack. Okay?" Teague nodded. They had no time to argue.

BOOOM. The thunder shook the whole ground. It wasn't like any other storm Mina had seen. It was a Fae storm. Mina wanted to cry, but she needed to be strong so that she could save herself and Teague. "1.. 2.. GO!" Mina took off sprinting. She didn't know she could run so fast. If only the people in her gym class could see her now.

Mina could hear the sounds of Esmerelda's faint footsteps behind her, then there was a huge blast of light behind her. She looked back to see Esmerelda sprawled out on the ground, Teague running, not far behind. "That will give us time. Get out the seam ripper!"

"WHAT?"

"NOW MINA." The old hag began to get up. Mina fumbled while trying to get it out. She was so shaken up. Teague grabbed the seam ripper from Mina and created a gate in front of them. He pulled Mina through with him. The gate began to close, but not before their teacher could get through.

They landed near to lake that Mina had met Nix and killed the sea witch. It was no longer storming, but that didn't change any fear that Mina felt. "She can't be far. Get out the Grimoire." When Mina got it out of her dress, it hummed with more power than it ever has. Now, they just had to wait for Esmerelda to show up.

Just then, a 10 foot wave came and crashed over Teague and Mina separating them. "TEAGUE?" Mina yelled as she broke the surface. Someone grabbed her. She screamed.

"Shh, it's just me." She looked into Teague's blue eyes and nodded. The water quickly went away, leaving them soaking wet.

"Over here!" The old woman taunted. Teague started aimlessly throwing balls of magic towards Esmerelda. "Do you really think you can defeat me?" She sent a blast of magic at Teague, causing him to go flying behind Mina.

"I know we can." Mina finally got enough courage to say. This caught the witches attention. She changed her direction towards Mina.

Her long, frail finger began tracing Mina's face. She then grabbed her face and looked strait into Mina's eyes with her own. Everything in Mina's body felt like it was under a bag of bricks. She couldn't move or speak. Teague came up behind the Teacher and pulled her off of Mina. She was very powerful, but not very strong.

Mina caught her breath and saw Teague wrestling the witch. She was on top of him with a dagger held at his neck.

"Get off of him!" Mina yelled as she held out her hand. A surge of Fae magic crashed into the witch throwing her into the closest tree. Teague looked at Mina with the same look she was giving her hand. Confusion. Did she just do that?

"Wow. Not bad for a Grimm." Esmerelda said brushing off her long black cloak. "You surprise me everyday, Mina. We all thought you'd be a goner by now." The evil woman sneered.

Mina held out her hand again to blast the witch, but this time she was ready. Their magic met in the middle, Mina's glowed gold while the witch's was black. Now it was like one of those Harry Potter scenes where it was Harry's power vs Voldemort's. Whoever had the most power now, was likely to win.

From the looks of it, Mina wasn't in the Fae's favor to win, but she kept fighting. The witch was much more powerful, though. Mina began to cry. I can't do it. She said to herself. Teague noticed Mina was struggling. He put his hand on her shoulder. Mina could feel Teague's power go through her body and out her hand.

Esmerelda's eyes got big. She was so sure she would defeat the Grimm, but with Mina's and Teague's power combined, there was no way she could. The magic finally reached the witch and she was thrown to the ground.

Teague ran up to check her pulse. "She still alive, but won't be for long. Do it now." Mina nodded. She almost felt bad that this woman's life had to end this way, but the feeling of guilt didn't last long as she remembered what Esmerelda has done to her the last two weeks.

Mina opened the book and threw it on the ground by the witch. She was sucked into the pages in the book. Mina opened the book to see pictures of her and Teague throughout the quest. Showing how they fell in love. When Mina flipped to the last page, her stomach turned. Even in the Grimoire, Esmerelda's cat eyes still haunted Mina. She quickly closed the book and turned to Teague.

"We did it!" She squealed as she ran into Teague's open arms.

"Yes we did. Thank you. You were amazing." Teague said into Mina's brown hair. Mina looked up into his icy blue eyes.

"I love you. So much." A huge smile crept across his face.

"I love you, too." He leaned down and closed the space between him and Mina. He kissed her softly, but soon it turned passionate.

After a while, they both pulled away. "Your dress is ruined." Teague pointed out.

Mina looked down at her once beautiful, mint green dress. Now it was covered in mud and torn in multiple places. "I don't care. We are both okay. That's all that matters." She said giving him another peck on the lips. Teague felt his face grow red. "We should probably get back and tell Ever and others that we won." Mina said to Teague. Teague agreed and Mina started walking towards the seam ripper she dropped. "Are you coming."

Teague had stopped a few feet behind Mina. He was thinking. His mind was racing a mile a minute. What was going to come of him and Mina if he went with her? The quests wouldn't stop. They weren't meant to love each other. They were supposed to hate one another. "Teague?"

"Yeah. One second." As much as he loved Mina, he couldn't let her love him. That'd be too selfish of him. "Mina." He called to her. "Come here."

"What's up?" Mina looked a little concerned.

"You know I love you, right?"

"I mean I'd hope." She teased. "Why?"

"I promised you I would never forget how I felt about you, and I won't. I never have." Teague started.

"What are you saying?" Teague could see tears forming in Mina's eyes.

"You need to."

"No. Teague. No! We can figure it out." Mina said trying to pull away from Teague.

"Mina, we are supposed to hate each other. How could this ever work? We'll be on two different planes. The quests won't end."

"We can figure it out!" She argued. Mina was now bawling.

"I can't do that to you. Mina, look at me." When she looked at Teague with her teary eyes, they weren't the normal enchanting blue. They were gold. She tried to look away put Teague grabbed her face and looked directly into her eyes.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you, Mina." Before Mina could protests, he looked into her eyes. They changed into the same gold color that his were. "I love you Mina, but you will forget I ever said that. You will forget you loved me. You won't forget how much fun you had tonight at the dance. You won't forget doing this quest, but instead of me being the prince, you will remember your knight in shiny armor being Nix. You will forget everything we've been through together the past couple of weeks." Teague paused for a moment to wipe tears out of his eyes. "After tonight, you will go back to hating me. We will go back to fighting each other. Everything will be as it was before." Except it wouldn't be because now, Teague's love for Mina was stronger than it ever was before.

When the compulsion was over, Teague sent Mina back to the human plane. He kicked a tree and started crying. He didn't cry often, but this time he had a pretty good reason.

Teague had lost Mina Grime again.

AH PLEASE DON'T HATE ME! I needed to lead it into reign somehow! Gah. I'm sure that's not the ending y'all were hoping for. But at least Teague still loves Mina, amirite ladies?! If you guy's want me to write an epilogue tell me in the reviews! I would be willing to write one!

Anywho, thank you guys again and again for reading! This was my first ever fan fiction and I didn't think it would get as much positive feedback. Especially since I'm not the best writer! I have another fan fic in progress currently! It's another quest, so if you liked this one, I bet you'd like Let Down Your Hair!:) Also, if you have any other story suggestions, I'm open for ideas! I'll probably be writing more in the future.

Thank you x100000000000 for reading! :)
