AN/ Unfortunately all things must come to an end, so here is the final part of Let Go- enjoy!

practikalmagik- I hope there won't be too many Kryssy's appearing in odd places. I'm in enough trouble as it is with Kryssy (from RPG) for creating another Kryssy with the same name! As to whether she'll live happily ever after… I suggest you read on for a sort of answer.

Dulce Ambrosia- Thank you for reviewing I'm glad that you think that the story is cool. I hope that this chapter is as good as the rest.

I'd also like to thank my Mum for being the beta reader of this chapter, and for most of this fic. Without her, I promise, this fic wouldn't have flowed so well!

Epilogue

Kryssy walked to the beach slowly, tears dripping down her face. By the time she reached it the clouds had hidden the moon from view. A sea breeze gently pushed back her hair away from her face and she sighed contentedly. No matter where she was Kryssy knew in her heart that she would always feel at home when she was by the sea. She loved all its different moods, but here favourite time to sit on the beach and watch it was in the middle of a storm. Her friends and family thought that she was mad and were always trying to stop her doing it, but sooner or later she would get to the beach. There was only one person whom she had tried to explain why she loved the sea so much even though she knew it was dangerous if she crossed it; and she wasn't even sure if Joey had really understood what she was trying to say. Shivering the cold or from an unknown fear she wasn't totally sure which, Kryssy carefully steeped down onto the beach and sat watching the waves her hands absently playing with the sand. Breathing with the rhythm of the tide- in with the tide, and out with it.

That was how Joey found her. It was where he had always found her when they had agued. The beach seemed to be the one thing in her life that she felt was special; she seemed to have a deep link with it. Sometimes it seemed to reflect her emotions, he remembered vividly the time that they had fought about something when the waves behind her seemed to tower above her reflecting her anger. He walked up and sat down beside her silently trying not to disturb her. She looked really beautiful to him then, oh she always looked really beautiful to him but sitting there totally relaxed she seemed even more so than usual even given the fact that he knew that she was a vampire it was like some inner light was shining through.

Kryssy tore her gaze away from the ocean and smiled at him. "Isn't the sea beautiful at night?" she questioned. Joey nodded, looking at her rather than the sea he didn't really understand her fascination with it but he understood that it was special to her. Kryssy sighed peacefully and leaned against Joey's shoulder. He moved his arm so that he was half hugging her like he had when they had sat on the beach when they were going out. Dragging her closer to him to keep her warm and to offer her some protection.

In doing that it was more by luck than judgement that Joey's hand touched Kryssy's their hands had touched many times before but maybe it was because they both knew about their past that when their hands touched the world seemed to just fall away and electricity crackled through her body.

Kryssy had never felt anything like this before, but Saorise had. Through the bond with her past self Kryssy could feel Saorise understand something and then she felt Saorise bidding her farewell and the link they shared shatter into a thousand pieces. But what was happening to her was more important. She could feel herself being dragged into Joey's mind. She could feel it surround her, engulfing her, a touch that was light and irresistible that was trying to draw out her innermost self.

Through the link Kryssy could tell that although Joey was slightly startled it was like he had been waiting… expecting this to happen. Hoping that it would happen for so long and that all the hope was now being changed into something else… it was being changed into understanding and happiness. 'Kryssy?' Joey called through their link, the silver thread.

'Yes?' She sent back, content to stay where she was. Ignoring the memories that flashed though her mind.

'Why did you want to see me?' He asked. He felt Kryssy draw away unsure, so he wrapped his arm tighter around her pulling her closer to him.

'I called you here to say good bye.' She replied sadly. Joey drew away braking the link.

"You called me here to say goodbye!" he yelped, getting up and pacing infront of her. Kryssy got up and looked at him sadly.

"Yes." She said simply. He turned and looked at her; the look held such joy and yet so much pain at the same time that it made Kryssy want to hug him, but she held back.

"And you weren't going to explain why?"

"No."

"Kryssy! Tell me why you're leaving me behind. I love you, let me come with you wherever you're going." Kryssy looked at him distraught, hope building slowly in her heart. She walked over to him and laid a hand gently on his arm, ignoring the flashes of electricity.

"If I tell you all that has happened, will you listen to what I say and not judge me?" she asked, trying not to plead. But Joey felt her desperation for him to listen and understand through their link.

"I will listen." He replied simply. Kryssy smiled gratefully at him and then began her tale.

Josiff woke up on the floor it was very dark. He looked over to where he assumed Kryssy was to find that she was gone. "Shit!" he yelped getting up and running from the room in a desperate attempt to find his prize. But as he found out ten minutes later Kryssy was not in the house. She had escaped from him again, but at least this time he knew what she looked like. That would help him. "You may have escaped the fire this time Kryssy, but next time you won't be so lucky!" he yelled, then turned and stalked into his room slamming the door shut behind him. In the darkness of the room Josiff began setting his mind to the problem of Kryssy Adams.

Joey found himself staring at Kryssy perplexed. He wanted to go with her. He loved her and in a way that was enough for him, but did he really want to leave everything behind?

"You don't have to come with me." She said, she didn't have to read his thoughts to know what he was thinking she knew him too well. "You can stay here. It's only me who has to go." She left him standing where he was and walked towards the sea, she stood so that the waves would gently wash over her shoes. "We have all eternity to be together. I won't force you to come with me." She turned and faced him. "All I want is for you to be happy." She added, her voice wobbling slightly.

"Then stay!" he begged, Kryssy shook her head sadly.

"That's the one thing I cannot do!" A lone tear crept down her cheek. Then with the fastness of the vampire that she now was she moved from the sea shore up to where he was on the beach. Then she kissed him sadly on the cheek. "Goodbye my love." She said simply.

"Not goodbye." He replied. "Goodbye is too final." He continued before he realised what he had said.

She was half way along the beach when he finally caught up with her, she turned and faced him. "Are you coming with me?" she asked determined not to cry if he said no.

"Yes." He replied. "I want to go with you to the ends of the earth because now I know who you are I cannot leave your side." Kryssy smiled at him.

"Are you asking me back out?" she questioned.

"Are you saying yes?" he retorted. Kryssy smiled.

"If you're asking, then yes."

"Good because I was." Kryssy laughed and kissed him.

"Sealed with a kiss!" she joked. Together they set off into the moonlight, each thinking about the future and what it could hold. This was the first time in all their lifetimes that they knew that the future held a bright promise; that they were finally leaving the darkness behind.
