Epilogue- 3 Weeks Later
After all that we've been through, I guess I'm happy after all. Do you see this girl sitting on my lap now? The one massaging my Mark and kissing me like her life depends that act, on making me forgive her. The one I said I'd go through hell for. The one I did go through hell for. The one I'll never stop loving, even if she kills me, which, I'm fairly certain she will do eventually. Yeah, her. That's why I can still be happy.
Because she's mine, finally. Well, not exactly. I don't own her in the sense that most pureblood men would mean that. She's not mine entirely, she's still her own beautiful and dangerous person But she's not yours either. I love her and I will never let her go again.
This time, she belongs to me just as much as I belong to her. Our relationship may not be what it was almost a year ago, but I almost think it's better now. We had to lose in order to realize just how much we need each other. Yes, that's right. She needs me just as much as I need her. And for that, I really couldn't imagine being any happier than I am now.
The two of us are in charge of a raid later tonight and I'm so looking forward to it. I hardly recognize myself half the time but at least I'm happy for whatever twisted reason. And at least I have Bellatrix, and that's really all that matters.
The End
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I want to thank everybody who read and reviewed this fic. But there are a few people in particular:
Caroline - Pen name Carolinear -Whose reviews almost always included the word "more" even when I was posting daily updates. Whether or not you like my impression of Alecto, please check out hers in "My Antonin."
Sarah- Pen name Lewrahfanfics -My #1 fan (she said so) who has given me constant encouragement and actually taken my author notes seriously. She's tons of fun and her fics are great. Go check out "I Want What You Desire," it's my current favorite.
Rod2- my real life best friend who unfortunately doesn't have an account here but has provided constant positive feedback on this fic, suggested the "We only love the ones who hurt us" theme, and who deserves happiness more than Rod does.
Sheo- Pen name Sheograph - Who unofficially beta-ed my "Bellatrix the Strange 2" fic and reviewed every single one of my stories. She also gave me an analysis of Rod's attitude and progress after almost every chapter of this fic. She's amazing, please read her stories, especially "Shades of Black."
Thank you all. I have nothing but love for you. Once again, I'm sorry if you didn't like the ending or the epilogue, I'm not sure I did either... But if you want a sequel, I'll be happy to post one soon.
And here's where the title came from:
"...She'll never know that
I'm the best that she'll never have
And when she walks
All the wind blows and the angels sing
She'll never notice me...
It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin', someone shoot me
As I fail miserably
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want." -B.F.S.
Bye for now. Much love. -Lia.
