Chapter Twenty-Five
Epilogue
As though it never happened, Marguerite awoke from her coma with her usual air of negativity and prestige. Challenger was perplexed by her sudden great health and she constantly caught him examining her peculiarly. Her children basked in the attention she lavished on them, thrilled to be in the familiar warmth of their mother. Roxton was so ecstatic that he proposed on the spot.
Yet, she wasn't as well as she led them to believe. More and more frequently, her power had begun to strike without warning. And she could never block it on her own. It left her with a headache and a strange sense of her conscious being shoved aside. It frightened her.
Marguerite now lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling remembering how she struggled to gain reign over her body. She feared the power she held within because it seemed to have a soul of its own. She recalled her attack on Veronica and felt ashamed, but she honestly hadn't been in control of her power. She worried that she may access her power one day and not be able to lock it back up. Would she harm those around her? Did she want to take that risk?
Marguerite crawled out of bed and slithered into the twins' room where they slept peacefully in their separate cribs. She gazed at them lovingly, tears springing to her eyes. "My darlings," she whispered. She bent down, kissing William on his downy head and smoothing out his nightgown. "My dear sweet boy." She then wandered over to Lillian's crib and did the same. "My beautiful little girl."
She stood for an hour in their doorway before shuffling out of their room and right into the arms of Roxton. She gasped. "John, what are you doing up? Why are you just standing here?"
"You woke me when you left. Marguerite, is everything all right?"
She felt a mild tugging at the back of her mind and her skin began to tingle. Not now, she pleaded. "Yes, John, everything's fine. I was only checking on the babies." She swept passed him and into their bedroom, hiding away her tears in the dark.
End Epilogue
I know it's a short ending, but it's all you're getting!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Ok, ok, I just didn't have the patience in me to make a long ending. But I like it because it doesn't give proper closure. Will she gain control of her power? Will her power ever hurt anyone? How will William and Lilly be affecting? Who the bloody hell knows!
