Nature's Spirit Epilogue: An end Through a Beginning.

It had been 10 years since I started going out with that one perfect guy, that one perfect guy who wasn't even human. My dark nature's spirit, Tom. Or Thomas Henry Oakson, as was his full name. I had also kept in touch with my best friend in the whole world, Angie Jackson and her boyfriend, who was still her boyfriend, Johnny Simpson. We didn't see each other that much, me and Tom being in university and Angie and Johnny having started a band, but for some reason, the guys had started to get really reclusive. They hung out with each other more and more, driving me and Angie a little paranoid. It was especially strange considering Johnny was freaked out by anything related to slenders, so seeing him get slenderwalked away with Tom was just a little abnormal. When I tried to reach Tom through our psychic link, he more often shut his mind away from mine, which worried me a lot. Today though, all four of us were supposed to go to the mall together. That same mall where we bought that fancy suit all those years ago to freak out people into leaving the forest alone...a forest, which we were proud to say, still stood tall, and even extended it's reach a bit. Leo now took over his older brother's position as the living myth. He wasn't that bad of a Slenderman, and it was awesome that his gift turned out being the ability to remove some memories from people.

I arrived at the mall to find Angie standing there. She had a black t-shirt with a skull on and a pair of black jeans, silver chains hanging from her waist. She had gotten a nose ring in the recent years and dyed part of her hair electric blue. I had also changed over the past few years, mainly getting a tattoo of dark flowers winding around my left hand. I also had a dark blue strand of hair. I'm not exactly the common image of a scientist, am I? Me and Angie simultaniously raised a brow when we saw the guys arrive, talking to each other and sharing a few laughs. Since when were they so close? Tom was mostly unchanged, still wearing those pale colors that I had always loved, still having that head full of perfectly curled brown hair and still wearing his signature scarf. The only thing really different was his slight mustache, a real one this time. Johnny had changed the most, also having a slight mustache now, as well as a goatee. He had a few lip and ear piercings and dyed his naturally golden brown hair electric blue to match with his girlfriend. They also had matching outfits of black, punk looks. I looked up into Tom's perfect sky blue eyes, recalling the first time I had ever looked into them.

"Dill's not coming?" Tom grinned and shook his head. "Nah. He's out with his boyfriend." Yes, Dill had admited to being gay a few years ago and had managed to find himself a boyfriend. He had also admited to have had a slight crush on Tom, which just made things really awkward... but he was pretty happy and moved on. We looked through the store, recalling all our good times we had had here as teens. It was funny, because out of the four of us, it was the most casually dressed and calm looking one that was doing the craziest things. He decided to race me going down the escalator, which were going up. No surprise that he won, but I still had fun. We walked by that suit store, now realizing that Tom looked exactly like he had desguised himself to buy the suit in the first place.

All was pretty cool and fun. We went to the food court to get something to eat. The guys were very gallant, offering to go get the food for us as I sat with Angie at the table. I briefly thought I saw a dude in a flashy pink shirt go by, but I couldn't find him anywhere when I looked up. I also thought I saw a woman in a black dress with long flowing dark hair. The guys returned, trying to make hot-dogs, burgers and french-fries(chips for you Brittish folk) look as classy as possible. Yeah, that worked well. It wasn't until we were done with the food and went to get up that we got the shock of our lives. Tom grabbed my wrists and Johnny took hold of Angie's. They spun us around until we two girls were back to back. Me and Angie's eyes then widened and we both gasped as the boys got down on one knee simultaniously, pulled out black boxes and spoke in uniscion. "Will you marry me?" Angie looked about to faint and I thought my heart was about to leap out of my chest. Me and Angie looked at each other briefly, before jumping into our respective men's arms. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I hadn't realized I was crying until Tom reached up and wiped my tears off. Everyone around us started cheering and I was surprised to see that Dill and Jessie were indeed in the crowd, both filming. I blushed a bright red.

I almost laughed when the ring was slipped on my finger. It was an amethyst carved Master Ball. I looked up into Tom's eyes. "There's no escape from this." I laughed and kissed him. "Not like I'd want to escape." He had worked on managing to keep his human form when I kissed him, which was really conveniant right about now. I turned to see Angie crying in Johnny's arms, who held her tighly against himself, tears showing lightly at the corners of his eyes too. Angie showed me her ring, a golden ring with spikes on the top of it. We high fived each other and walked on, strangers cheering for us along the way. I felt a voice echo in my mind. "I knew you'd say yes." I smirked before answering him. "I've been expecting this moment for 10 years. What do you think?" " My love for you is legendary." And so this story ends with a new beginning. But where will life take us from now?

AN: IT IS FINALLY COMPLETE! Oh God I had a lot of fun writing this. And it's done right before school starts again! I've had this chapter planned for quiet some time now. As I stated in the previous author's note, I will be writing a sequel. It'll be...drastically different from this story. It'll be told in the point of view of an entirely new character that was never introduced in this story. I'll give you a hint as to who she is: she's a slender. DEAL WITH IT! So this story ends...yay. Again, oh God I pray that nobody I know reads this cuz this fic is so awkward ;-; Thank you, all you crazy readers. I wanted to get this concept out. If I inspired you, well I'm glad. I will thank a few people who inspired me, but I'm sorry, I don't typically register the name of authors, but rather the fics they write. So, thank you to the author of Ambrosial Dreams. That was the first slender fanfic I read. I'd also like to thank the author of A Slender Chance and A Slender Child. You were great inspiration and your stories are easily in my favorites. I'd like to thank the author of When your dad is Slenderman. who I know actually reads this fic! Which makes me really proud... I never read past half of your story, sorry for that :/ But what I read was good and I should finish it someday. I'd also like to thank the author of Nightmares of the Damned. God that fic is good...it's so good, that I can completly over look all the grammatical error and keep reading. There's probably a lot more authors that I read their fics but can't think of right now, so...sorry...but thanks to everyone who reads me! It was fun! So, Until next time! ArashiKira out.
