Epilogue
It's funny how life goes on while you're stuck in this twisted and tortured dream. When you realize that normal people have gone on with their normal lives and this nightmare hasn't made the slightest dent in their lives, you want to scream at the world. "Don't you get it? Don't you realize what's happened? Don't you care?" Then you break down and cry, and you begin to wish that you were one of those people instead of the tortured soul you are now. You want life to move on; you want to forget that this ever happened. But you can't. It's there every time you eat, sleep, or breathe. The memory is there haunting you and you can't be rid of it. You're lost on your own, uncertain about your distant future, afraid that for you, life will never be normal again.
Lance's arms encircled Kitty's waist as they watched Evan cradle Arisnoƫ's head in his lap. Jean sat stroking Scott's tousled hair as he began to stir. Kurt let go of Wanda's writhing body as the Brotherhood vacated the premises. Tabitha stood trembling, her arms wrapped around herself as if to reignite her lifeless body. Rogue turned away from the site, wiping a tear from her heavily made-up eye. They all stood in silence observing the horrific site before them.
Evan let the tear slide down his cheek, leaving one clean stripe on his dust covered face. Arisnoƫ had died to save him, it was up to him to prove that she had died for a worthy cause.

That's the end, there isn't any more. I kind of hate to leave it like that, I hate sad endings. . . anyways, hope you all liked it! Thanks to everyone who's been reviewing it! Oh, btw, if someone would like to review to this and tell me what an AU fic is, or how to italicize or bold things, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
