Well it's been fun, here is the very last chapter. Hope you enjoy!

50

Chaos, that's what the world was now. Or at least our small part of the world.

The bond was gone between me and Rose. I don't know how it happened but it did, cut clean.

Now this horrible plan was unearthed and destroyed, or at least hopefully destroyed. The Queen had been under a spell set by Viktor Dashkov, along with a few others like Ambrose. I didn't exactly know what the full plan entailed but I just knew it had something to do with me.

And oddly enough the throne.

"What are you thinking?" Christian asked from beside me.

We were laying on the couch in guest housing, he had his arms around me.

"Something isn't right."

He nuzzles my neck, "I dunno, I think there's a lot right with this."

I roll my eyes, "Seriously, how did Rose know about all that stuff?" I ask turning in his arms. Now we lay face to face and I wish I hadn't turned.

He kisses my nose, "Whatever happened, if somehow Rose managed to magically time travel or something crazy like that I know for a fact everything is going to be good, she's always got your back. She won't let anything happen to you. And neither will I," he says kissing me again.


I found her outside under the stars. She was lying in the grass just staring up.

"Wondered when you'd show up," she said without moving.

I sat down beside her. "I had a few things I had to do."

"Have you ever seen the sky so bright?"

I looked up, the sky was completely filled with stars, more than I had seen before.

"No," I say falling back into the grass beside her.

"It's so pretty don't you think?"

"Cut the crap Rose."

"I don't know what you're talking about," she said with a straight face.

"Rose."

She sat up and glared at me, "No, listen to me. I'm not talking, you can't get a thing out of me. It's over and done with now, just go on and forget anything weird."

"Fat chance."

She stood up abruptly.

"Just let it be Adrian."

I watched her leave, heading into the woods.

"Fine with me little dhampir, fine with me," I say as she disappears, not wanting any memory of what could have been.


Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Adrian knew something was up but I knew in time he'd forget.

Now I just got to deal with the fact I was seventeen again, still in high school, and still haven't taken my trials.

And the Promise Mark on my hand, gone. Everything from being a Death Dealer was wiped away. Even the memories were becoming hazy.

The one surefire thing I remembered was Dimitri, lots and lots of Dimitri.

And now I was seventeen again, and still in school while Dimitri was twenty-four and very very off limits. I had a very bad feeling as to what was going to happen with that.

I mean sure it was difficult after I came back from the Shadowland but I was eighteen and legal. Now after remembering all of the…fun we had together, I just don't know if I can give it up.

So that's why I avoided him.

Label that plan with a big fat F for failure.

I was wandering through the woods, opposite side from the infamous cabin, when he found me.

"Roza," he said from behind me.

I came to a screeching halt. I turned around, "Dimitri hi, love to stay and chat but I gotta run," I say with a smile as I try and rush off.

Yep still a god in this life.

He had me against a tree in seconds. Each had on either side of my face.

"Roza we need to chat."

I tried to keep my gaze away from him. I concentrated on a tree behind him.

I waited for him to start chatting but he didn't say anything. I quickly glanced at him and then away. He was staring at me.

"Well this is nice," I say fidgeting.

"Roza, what we did, before the fighting," he didn't finish.

I can't help it, I look at him, his beautiful dark eyes are staring straight at me. "I didn't get the chance to tell you something," I say caught up in his gaze.

He raises that eyebrow, that infuriating little thing that gets to me every time. "What?" he whispers.

I stretch up, "That I love you too," I say pressing my lips to him.

I half thought he was going to push me away but he just wrapped his arms around me.

Just like I remembered.

"Roza," he mutters into my hair.

"Hmm? Isn't this where you point out I'm only seventeen and that our relationship will never work?"

He stops from kissing under my ear to look at me.

"I have a feeling things will work out."

I smile, "You don't want to know about all the other details I left out?"

He kissed my forehead, "No, let's just rewrite our future."

"Together?" I ask trying my best to arch one of my eyebrows.

Laughing he kisses my brow, "Yes, we'll figure it out as it happens."

He takes my hand and we start walking through the brush.

He chuckles as we draw nearer to that notorious spot. A huge smile graces his beautiful lips.

"What?" I ask a smile of my own.

"So, I'm a god?"

The End

So I'm sorry, but I absolutely love that last line. Makes me laugh every time I read it. So that's the end of Life and Death. I hope you all enjoyed my story. I've had a blast writing it and I'm sorry it took me so long to finish it.

I just want to thank all of you, everyone who's reviewed or just kept with me through all of this. I don't think I'd have been able to finish this story without a few of my reviewers who were...persistent? Haha yeah. I've had so much fun writing this story, loved reading all the reviews. You just have no idea how much I appreciate you all. So even though this is the end I hope you all will still review and tell me what you think of my little twists and turns.

Thank you all so much! Thanks for reading and putting up with me! Don't forget to review!

Love Kaiai
