I'm back! I'm back, I'm bad and I'm...oh never mind. Here it is, Sky/Alkira's last chapter. Sorry for the waiting guys but I had so much going on and I totally forgot about this story! Terrible of me I know but I shall have it finished soon. Please enjoy and don't forget to review with your thoughts. Your thoughts guide my hands as to what happens next, remember!

Love Silver X

Bleep. Bleep. Bleep.

Huh?

Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep.

Whatever that sound is turn it off. It's giving me a headache.

Bleep.

Fine then. Be like that. Wait, why can't I open my eyes?

"Wake up baby...need you...wake up." Someone whispered and Sky struggled to remember the voice. Who did it belong to? It was rather faint and you could barely make out the words but somehow sky knew she should recognise that voice.

"Baby, you need to wake up right now." The voice was clearer now. "Or no television for a week."

Yup. That's mum.

Slowly Sky peeled her eyes open, squinting against the lights. When a shadow loomed over her she focussed on the person's features, finding it to be a doctor. "Levels are stable, she's waking up!"

"Yeah no kidding." Sky muttered hoarsely. "Where am I?"

"You are at the hospital Sky. You were in a terrible car crash."

"Car crash?" The doctor nodded his head then looked around to where Sky's parents were sobbing. "Mum, dad, calm down. I'm alright. I can't have been out that long." There was a deadly silence. "Right?"

"You were in a coma for eighteen months, Sky. You're very lucky to be alive." A nurse smiled down at Sky who frowned.

"What...where's Indil-I mean Lily? Where is she?" The doctor and nurse exchanged nervous glances as Sky's mum stepped forwards, sitting beside her in the chair.

"Baby, Lily's gone."

"What?" Sky sat up suddenly. "No! She can't be!"

"We were asked to pull the plug on her life support after two weeks by her guardians." Sky's blood boiled hotly and the monitor began to beep furiously as her heart hammered in her chest. Those sneaky...Sky burst into tears and began to sob, pulling off the oxygen mask despite the nurse's insistence she keep it on. Sky cried in her mother's arms as her dad rubbed her back, comforting her gently.

"It's going to get better baby. I promise."

"I...I want to see Lily." Sky sobbed. "I want her back!"

"I know. I know hush, you have to be strong now. You have to get better and be strong for Lily."

Strong. I can be strong. I was strong. No matter what happens, I am not going to be that immature child I used to be. I'll be stronger, better and smarter, just like Lily was. Sky thought to herself as the tears slowly disappeared.

"Alright mum. I'll do my best."

"That's my girl." Her dad ruffled her hair softly then turned to speak with the doctor.

When Sky returned to school she was the main event. Everyone was crowding around her asking whether she was okay and what it was like to be nearly dead. To catch up on eighteen months worth of lost school Sky was put back a year and given all the help and support she needed. Good thing that deep down, she was actually really intelligent. Something she usually liked to hide.

"Hey Smellanie! How much lunch money do you have today?" A nasally voice demanded and Sky looked around. A little girl squeaked in fear as she was pushed back against a locker. The jocks all crowded around her and laughed as she began to cry and shake in fear.

"I don't have much. It's not worth it."

"You know what they say, every little helps. Come on hand it over." Melanie, Sky assumed that was her real name, instantly dived into her purse and shakily began to fish out the coins.

"Alright that's enough." Sky suddenly stepped forwards. "You're scaring her." The leader turned and eyed Sky over as she placed her hands on her hips.

"That's the point baby." He winked. "What you doing later?"

"If possible, keeping away from you. Leave her alone." Sky emphasised her words and pushed the guy away. He stumbled back into one of his friends then blinked in shock before growling.

"You'll regret that."

"No, I really wont. So back off!" Sky thrust her face into his and glared at him. "You don't scare me one bit." He rolled his eyes but slowly backed up.

"Come on guys. Let's find someone and shove their heads down the toilet." He muttered then turned to leave.

"And if you think I'm going to let you keep hurting other people you're dead wrong. This is my school, buddy, and I don't tolerate jocks and idiots." The leader whipped around and swung a punch at Sky's face. Melanie screamed but Sky was too fast. She spun into his chest and elbowed him in the ribs before grabbing the arm and flicking him over her head. "Thank you Legolas." She whispered quietly before drawing back.

In a rage of fury the leader leaped up and barrelled towards her but someone blocked the way. "Back of Frank."

"You back off, Samuel." The new guy merely gave a crooked grin which caused the watching girls to sigh dreamily.

"You sure you want to go there?" Samuel easily out muscled Frank so after a moment of contemplation, he backed off.

"Come on guys." Sky turned to Melanie and smiled.

"Hi! I'm Sky, your friendly neighbourhood watcher. You okay?"

"Y-y-yes. Thank you." Melanie blushed, making her freckles stand out even more.

"Aw, you're adorable. Go on, you go get some food." Sky placed a hand on her shoulder and pushed her gently forwards. "I'll be around if you need me!"

"Thanks!" Melanie relaxed then hurried away.

"That was some sweet moves there." Samuel said as he looked Sky over slowly. "Who taught you?"

"A friend." Sky shrugged then shouldered her bag. "Thanks for the help but I totally had everything under control."

"Sure..." Samuel nodded. "So Sky. Are you doing something later?" Sky paused then thought for a moment. She normally went to visit Lily's grave after school. She had done everyday since she got out of the hospital but now...Samuel was pretty good looking. He had blond hair and warm blue eyes. In fact he looked very familiar. Too familiar. Oh my-It's Legolas!

"No." Sky answered coolly.

"How about we go see a movie or something?" Sky arched an eyebrow.

"Do you always move this quickly with girls?" Sam grinned.

"For you I'll make an exception."

A woman stood alone in the cemetery, clutching a bunch of white roses. Slowly she knelt beside the grave and removed the old flowers and replaced them with the fresh ones. The stone slab was still young and fresh with the signs of age creeping around the edges, a little bit of soft moss, a few cracks but all in all, it was still new. "Hey Lily." The woman whispered quietly. "It's me again."

The wind seemed to quieten down to here the woman speak. "I know it's been a while but the children have been ill so I had to stay and look after them. Poor little tykes." She smiled softly. "I have another one on the way, just so you know. I think it's going to be another girl. Poor Toby's going to be outnumbered by his sisters soon." The grass shivered as if in laughter. "The world is pretty much the same. People are jerks and money is the thing everyone wants but you know, that's the way it's always going to be."

"Sky?" A male voice called out and the woman looked up and smiled.

"One moment Sam." She called back then leaned closer to Lily's grave. "I miss you so much Lily. I really wanted you there for my first baby, I wanted you there when I graduated, I wanted you with me every step of the way just like we promised we always would. Wherever you are it had been better worth abandoning me for." Sky joked weakly. "Most importantly though, I hope you're happy. I hope you found Aragorn and you have many little elf-human babies. They would be such beautiful children."

"Sky?" Sam murmured as he came to kneel beside his wife.

"Hey Sam."

"Lily's been calling. She wants to go home."

"Okay. Just one more minute?" Her husband smiled and tucked a long strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

"As long as you want, love." He kissed her head then stood. "Hey Lily." He smiled down at the grave. "You keep my wife out of trouble whilst I go see to our little monster-I mean angelic little girl." Sky rolled her eyes with a grin.

"As you can tell, Sam doesn't change. Which is good. I fell in love with him for who he was. He's still the same Sam I met at school. You remember I told you about that? And the date? Idiot moved so fast, he kissed me only on the second date!" Sky lowered his voice. "But I admit I'm glad he did. We took it slow after the first adrenaline rush and here we are. Three girls, one beautiful boy and another girl on the way." Sky rearranged the flowers carefully before picking up the old ones. "You take care of yourself, Lily. If I find you jumped through that window and landed yourself in an orc pit then I will murder you." Sky blew a kiss to the gravestone. "I love you sister."

"Mummy!" Sky's face burst into a smile.

"Lily! Who's my beautiful girl?"

"Mummy! Daddy wont stop tickling me!" Lily said as she leaped into her mother's arms.

"Oh really? How about we get daddy back?" Sam's face paled and his eyes went wide.

"No! Mercy! Mercy!" The two girls lunged for him and the yells of laughter filled the empty cemetery, bringing life back to the silence and joy into the hearts of the resting. From beside her gravestone Lily smiled. Forever she would watch over her friend and her family. Forever just a breath away. Forever had she walked beside Sky's side.

Forever. She whispered and Sky looked up, hearing the small voice on the wind. She turned her head and out the corner of her eye she saw Lily standing beside her grave but when she looked closer, she was gone. "Forever." She agreed then leaped onto her husband once more.

Such a cute ending. If I do say so myself. The background story of Sky is she ended up dating Sam and they graduated together then went to Princeton University together too. They married when they were twenty three after already having Lily when Sky was twenty. After that came Shannon, Katy and then their only boy Toby. Their next child was named Dawn and then finally their last little girl was Dusk whom they had when they were thirty. Poor Toby! So many sisters! Anyway that's their family and story. Lily's story is coming up next!
