DISCLAIMER - I don't own any of the Nightworld characters and I don't make
any money. Yes I know I should get out more. I do however own a sexy
vampire called Tar, so hands off!
REVIEWS ARE MUCH LOVED AND BEGGED FOR!!
EPILOGUE
Mary Lynette pulled back from the hug and stood alone, knowing what she had to say.
"I didn't come down here to say hello, despite everything I found. I came to say goodbye to you all."
She could feel Ash's heart plummet and her brother's heart begin to pound. She could sense the distress of her sisters also.
"I'm leaving. I have some loose ends to tie up on the coast. Or more precisely bury, I haven't decided yet."
"I'll go with you." Ash said automatically.
"You once asked me to wait for you Ash, while you went and explored who you had become. All I'm asking for is that same chance. No more, no less. There's something inside of me, something that Tar gave me before he died. Something that's hard to explain. Thierry doesn't know what it is and neither do I. I have to know."
"At least let me get you some things, clothes, food, anything."
She raised an eyebrow.
"I think I can remember a good meals on wheels across town."
Mary Lynette noticed Mark was the only one to smile at her poor attempt at humor.
"I came with nothing and I'll leave with nothing. I'm travelling light."
She walked out to the front door of the mansion, feeling everyone turn and follow her. She turned back and hugged each of them in turn, murmuring words of reassurance to each, but saving Ash till last. They stood silently for a moment and he moved and took her in his arms for one last time.
Don't be too long.
She kissed him hard and fast, not wanting to tempt herself to stay. There were tears in everyone's eyes.
"Goodbye, Ash Redfern." She said, waving a hand in farewell as she strolled down the driveway.
"I'll be waiting, Mary Lynette." Ash said under his breath, almost to himself.
Mary Lynette heard. She smiled to herself and kept walking.
**************************
Yes that's the end of FORGOTTEN and there must be something seriously wrong if you've read all the way to the end. Thanks to all the people who reviewed, it really means a lot to see that little review button flashing at the bottom of the screen after a crap day. A special thanks go to pracitcalmagik for continued support. God, I know I must really need help as I'm already thinking about some ideas for a sequel, of a sequel. Sounds kinda dumb really, I suppose I should call it a trilogy. Well, tell me what you think. I've got a couple of chapters down for the next book, but do you think it's worth doing more or should I just let it end like this. Face it, do you want to know what happens to Mary Lynette when she confronts her *relatives* on the coast? Will Ash wait around patiently or will he go after her (YAY). Well farewell, and until our next meeting, Goodbye.
