Chapter Twenty-Five
Epilogue
It was already sunset when the festivities for the Coronation was over, and Jasmine had retired her Crown back into her chambers, a room that her parents had occupied before, before returning to the balcony.
Alice was out of her green dress, now wearing cleaner Elven outfit. She was gazing out at the city her eyes roaming the many towers in the distance.
"Alice," she said.
The vampire turned around, her eyes smiling a little as she took in Jasmine outfit.
"You are a King now," Alice said.
Jasmine approached the railing looking down at the city.
"Yeah," she said, "I'm going to lead this place into a better future. Maybe that's what my purpose was all along. To become King of Autelas."
Alice chuckled, drawing her attention.
"What is it?"
"The guys at home wouldn't believe I crushed on a King," she said, "much less any of what happened here."
"You'll believe it," Jasmine told her as she gives Alice a smile, "You've experience my World just as I experience yours, thought mine came with a lot of dangers and near death experiences…"
"That's true," Alice said looking out at the sunset in the distance.
Jasmine did also as a comfortable silence settled between them.
"It's really beautiful isn't it Alice?" she said, looking at it, "Peaceful, magical."
"Yeah, it seems magic really does exist," Alice told her, looking at the newly instated King.
Jasmine approached her, putting a hand on the vampire's cheek, and caressing it.
"You just have to know where to look," she whispered softly.
She kissed Alice softly on the lips as the other returned it, the kiss filled with passion and love for each other.
"I really do love you Alice," Jasmine said when she broke the kiss, "but you and I both know why we can't be together."
Alice leaned her forehead against hers.
"I know," she answered, "You live in this magic World while I live in the Human Realm as you call it."
Jasmine nodded before putting a hand on her shoulder, gripping it.
"I'll take you home."
With that, Alice's vision was covered in multi colors.
Samuel was standing in front of his Father's Grave. He wasn't sad that his father died like that. He did as any soldier would, to protect this world.
To protect him.
It would seem even with all his experiences, his father was always there to take care of him. What he has done in the battle was his last act, and he was proud of him.
"Thanks Dad," he said, looking at the grave, "You've always looked out for me, but don't worry about anything else anymore, I'll take care of myself from now on in, after all, I am your son."
He made a short prayer at the Grave before, turning away and looking up, he was surprised to see David there.
"What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you," the blond man said rolling his eyes as if it was obvious.
Samuel blinked, "What for?"
"We're going to celebrate," David told him, "After all, it's not every day we take on the Darkness and come out alive…I almost didn't make it when that bastard started chopping us down in the fields."
"At least you did survive," Samuel said.
"Yeah, yeah," David told him, waving it off, "But you know the thing I don't understand. Why Jasmine didn't do anything to Scorpio. I mean, the guy made our life a living hell from the moment we returned."
"Prince…I mean, King Jasmine had her reasons," Samuel told him, shrugging his shoulders; he had expected Jasmine to send Scorpio to jail at least, "You can always ask her when you see her."
David sighed a little, "Maybe I will, Sammy."
Bonk!
David find himself face first into the ground.
"What the hell?"
Samuel glared at him on the ground, "I thought I made myself very clear to not call me that."
David glared at him, "You had to knock me in the head to remind me?"
A small smirk grew on the Elf's face.
"I didn't, I just wanted to."
He outright laughed at the comical expression on David's face.
"I can't believe you just made another joke," he said, getting himself up.
"It seems hanging out with you is bad for my health," Samuel said chuckling.
"What? C'mon, I can't be that bad now, can I?"
Samuel simply continued to laugh as he glanced up toward the Castle. He had suddenly being cut off from the Amulet magic. Considering he hadn't seen Alice since the Coronation, he had a pretty good idea where Jasmine had disappeared to.
"What is it?" David asked, noticing his sudden stillness.
Samuel shook his head.
"It's nothing, so what was that you were saying about a celebration?"
A wicked grin suddenly grew on David's face, making Samuel wonder if he had just made a grave mistake.
When Alice came to, a familiar smell of rain, wood, and dust made contact with her nose. She knew that smell. She was back in her world, back in the small town of Forks, Washington. Hearing movement beside her, she opened her eyes seeing Jasmine standing besides her dressed in casual clothing and looking similar to when they first met.
The Glamour charm that Samuel had explained to her was back on, and glancing down at her body, she noticed she was wearing the exact same clothes she had on when she had entered Autelas with.
"We're back," Alice said.
"Yeah," was Jasmine response.
Alice met Jasmine's eyes.
"I guess this is it," she said, her mind memorizing as much of Jasmine as she could.
She had no way of knowing that Jasmine was doing to same thing with her.
"Can…Can I kiss you… just one last time?" Alice asked.
Jasmine didn't answer, simply taking the girl face with her hand and crashing her lips on hers, entwining their hands together Damn, she was starting to get addicted to kissing Alice, whose lips tasted heavenly. If this continues, she might not want to let her go after all.
When they broke the kiss, Alice gasped making Jasmine look behind her to see that she had unknowingly summoned her wings out. Unlike the dark wings from before, they were a beautiful gray as she smiled a little.
"Go," she said softly to Alice.
The vampire stepped back slowly as walked back and Jasmine let go of her hand as she stood there looking at the vampire until she had disappeared within the green trees.
I love you Alice, that's why I have to let you go. There is another in this world who loves you more than I, she thought to herself.
Then she closed her eyes as gold light appeared around her.
When the light was gone, so was she.
Alice walked home her feet, heavy as lead. If she could, tears would be flowing down in waves down her face. Never in her life as she felt such emotional pain such as this.
Jasmine, she thought to herself, putting a hand on where her dead heart lays.
In what feels like forever, she had arrived in front of the familiar large white house. The house was a welcoming sight after all of this, and in second a blond man was at the door, followed by the rest of the Cullen family.
"Alice," he cried out, crossing the lawn at unnatural speed.
He took her in his arm, as relief poured out of him in waves. Alice put her hands around him closing her eyes.
"I…I was so worried," he said.
"I'm sorry Jasper," she said, "I'm sorry for causing you all of this."
"Don't be," Jasper told her, a smile growing on his face.
Alice returned it.
"Glad to have you back," he said.
Feeding off the relief he was subconsciously sending out, Alice answered.
"I know, Jazz, I know."
Jasmine seated alone in the plain beside the Gold Tree. It was in one of the courtyard of the Castle as she sat there petting a Flamaviant who was cooing at her hand. Smiling softly, she glanced up at the uncoming footsteps, as Scorpio approached her.
"It's time," he said.
Nodding, she stood up; the Flamaviant took off into the sky as she pulls her red cloak over her body as her green hair danced into the wind.
"Will you be alright?"
Jasmine smiled at him, "I won't…but I will be."
The two walked back toward the Castle, as the Flamaviant flew toward the setting sun, singing a shrill but soothing song.
