Epilogue

Serena sat by the window of the plane. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, she didn't acknowledge any of them though.

All she felt was pain.

Callie watched her worriedly as she cried, tears streaming down her face.

She had barely spoken in days, she ate less, she was miserable. But it would pass.

No wound could hurt forever. Could it?

Serena watched the plane taking off, wanting nothing more than to run back to Kai and ask him what she had done, why he had left her.

But she had tried that, he had ignored her, looking down at her from those cold dark eyes before walking away.

She looked into the window, watching the world go by.

Contrary to what Callie thought, she was not crying.

She was empty now.

Devoid of all feelings except for hurt, sadness, pain.

She knew.

Knew that her life could never be the same again, she had been changed by the experiences of the past, and nothing could take her back to the way she was.

It had been something out of a fairy tale, the whole meeting, the getting to know each other, and then eventually falling in love.

But being the naive person that she was, she had thought that it could last, that like a fairy tale, everything would turn out happily, and they'd grow to love each other even more, and then perhaps one day get married.

But now she knew the truth.

Those stupid fairy tales just messed with peoples heads. Made them believe in love and hope and then be surprised when they really did get hurt.

Those god damn fairy tales lied.

Kai turned away from his grandfather, exiting the chamber.

He was angry, but knew better than to show it, not now, and not to his grandfather.

Pulling open the door to his room, he resisted the urge to slam it, dropping onto his bed, eyes drooping thinking about what had happened in the past, thinking one last thought before dropping into blissful unconciousness.

Life is complicated, full of twists and turns, bringing you so close to the object you desire and then taking you away so quickly that it leaves you breathless, and with only the faintest of scents of the object you have left behind...

AD: Ok, first I would like to thank you guys for the support I've recieved on this story.

All I can say is wow. I never thought that this would gain this many reviews, or that I would actually finish it.

I'd better do the replies to the reviews, which I got heaps of (thanks you guys) for the last chapter! The sequel will be up soon, sorry that this took so long by the way, I didn't want to end it.... ;(

n0b0dY: I'm glad you liked it, and I hope I never made Kai too soft.

The Windcaller: I'm sorry if you're depressed, they're might be a happy ending in the sequel, depends.

Purra: Who? Me or Serena? Hehe, yay me, I made it different and interesting...Yep, you've got plans for them too! *pokes tounge out at Irvine and Kai*

KaibasGirl: I portrayed Kai as I saw him, if you have different views on how he acts then that's good for you. As for the personal pleasure um...well Kai and Raven have actually been pretty good, so I can't, they only get sent out to be punished...

xanthe: Murder me, and you don't get anything, now do you. :P

Kita: *watches frying pan* he he he....Umm yes, there is always a sequel... Now don't do anything your going to regret...

Rita: Thanks for telling me that. Yes I did feel the pain, I wrote it, but as for hurting Kai, I don't think that he's as hurt as Serena.

Yana: Lol. You'll just have to wait and see. Glad you liked it!

Sofia/3sh: I have!

Reika: Yay!!!! Thank you. Hmm, you think I should update slower? *sighs* Yes he broke up with her, yes you were right.No I'm not a good writer, I'll never admit it!!!! And he can't do anything against his grandfather, Voltaire has ties everywhere, he could have her killed in two seconds.

NEB: I think it should be up soon, probably a few days because I have to move out cause the renovations are being completed this week, and so I have to move out tomorrow! So it'll have to be some time after that, and after I've completed my three hours of homework each night. *sigh* I dislike teachers.

Dranzer: Oh well, there's always gotta be a critic! Lol, No, you can't be, you killed my father!!!!! Waaahhh!! Soz, couldn't help myself either... You had nine packs of sugar?!?! Okies, well your entitled to your own POV. I'm glad to hear different ones.

AnimePrincess: I know! You haven't reviewed in ages! I know. Yep, she's heartbroken. I forgive you! *hugs* Very nice. I've never heard it though...
