This is really short, but I need to get it out of the way for new chapters, so that it won't be so long, mmkay, I'll post the end as early as tonight, and there are 2 endings for this one, count 'em, t.w.o. an ending and an alternate ending, both I think are incredible ways to end this trilogy...but enough blabber, read on...
Mercy stepped off of the plane in Raleigh with Delilah behind her, she scanned the crowd of people for any sign of the people she recognized as her family, but she was cut short in her gaze by someone tapping her on the shoulder, figuring it was Jeff, or someone else, she spun with a large smile on her face, to meet eyes with an equally surprised group of teenagers, "It IS her!" the blonde one said excitedly, then turning back to Mercy, "You're Mercy Hardy!" she said, "So I am" Mercy smiled halfheartedly, she loved fans of Jeff, Matt, Amy, and her mom, but right now she wanted to see them, not fans, "Wow" was all the leader of the group could say, "I'm really sorry, but I have to go...meet someone" Mercy said, smiling before turning to walk away, and running into someone, backing up, she sighed and mumbled her apologies, hoping that they wouldn't recognize her, but the person put his hands on her shoulders, causing her to look up into a pair of equally emerald eyes, she blinked, and then threw her arms around Jeff, tears coming to her eyes, "Jeff! I missed you...I think" she said as he kissed the top of her head, "You have no idea how much we missed you, we were so worried" Jeff said, Mercy turned to Delilah, "Jeff, I'd like you to meet someone, this is Delilah, she rescued me and kept me until I got my memory back" Mercy said, looking at Delilah's shy smiling face, "Thank you" Jeff said, touching Delilah's shoulder tenderly, "Where's Mom?" Mercy asked, looking up and around, as if on cue, a voice rang out from behind Jeff, "My baby!" it was Paige, with Matt, Amy, and Leila in tow, Paige ran to her daughter and threw her arms around her, Mercy looked at her mom, she had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were sunken and haunted looking, she didn't remember the last time her mom looked so...drained and lifeless, but she put those feelings aside as she introduced Delilah to the rest of her family, and there were plenty of hugs and tears on that day, the rain stopped on that April day, a few stray drops falling from the sky and the puddles left in the mud were the only reminders that the rain had ever been, and so with Paige, the only reminders of the storm that had taken place inside of her was her slightly slimmer body and the haunted tint in her sapphire eyes, but Jeff could see the twinkle coming back, deep inside the depths of her pupils, there was a twinkle coming out, and Mercy was home, soon Paige would be back to her old self, and everything would be fine again...
