Thanks for the reviews. It really makes me happy. And a very big thanks goes to Remember for these much reviews! For Fortune Zyne I will explain everything: Titiana´s parents died and were born again as wolves. Her brother became a werewolf and Titiana would have become one ,too but death used her for killing people. That´s a sin. And she would go to hell because of that. But you´ll read in this chapter that there is a chance to be redeemed. Is everything clear now? If not you can ask me. Now enjoy the final chapter and the Epilogue!
26. Until the end of time
My back hurt terribly as I awoke. I tried to stand up while leaning against the wall. It had to be five o´clock. I looked to the window and saw that it was still dark.
"Come here! You have work to do!", commanded Van Helsing. Carefully I took one step after the other step and walked into his room. "Make my bed and then go back to your sleeping place and clean the mess up!"
He closed the door to his room and I laid down on his bed. I felt so weak and wanted nothing but sleep.
But the problem was that Van Helsing stormed into the room as heared no noises. "Lazy thing! Get out of here!", he yelled at me.
I couldn´t move. I was too weak. He grabbed my arm and pulled me from the bed. With a loud bang I fell on the floor. He looked down at me with disgust.
Then he pulled me violently to my feet and pushed me through the door. Again I fell to the ground. Now I knew that the end was near. With my last strength I stood up and made rocky steps towards the door. I kicked it open. Leaning against the wall I stumbled into darkness.
But what I saw there I couldn´t believe. Vladislaus stood there and looked at my form. He hadn´t seen me that way so he didn´t recognize me. But as he looked closer...
Vladislaus ran towards me. He embraced me, carefully not to hurt me.
Suddenly someone else ran in our direction. I could feel it. I looked behind Vladislaus to see Van Helsing coming with a silver stake.
That was my chance: I freed myself from his arms and moved towards Gabriel. Now I stood in front of Vladislaus protectively. Until he realized the danger I was in, Van Helsing rammed the stake into my heart and pulled it out again.
It seemed like an eternity to me until my legs couldn´t carry me anymore and I sank to the ground.
Vladislaus caught me until I touched the ground. But he knew, too that there was nothing more to do.
"Don´t do this to me. I don´t wanna lose you again", he whispered with tears in his eyes. I laid one hand on his cheek: "Please, don´t cry for me."
But he wasn´t able to hold his tears back. "I´m sorry... but I must ... leave you now...", my voice was shaking. He placed soft kisses on my forehead. His tears hit my face.
"I´ll kill myself before I let you die alone!", he said. I knew how to answer: "No... live your life ... like you did before you ... met me. You must ... survive. Make Verona your bride... and forget...me."
"I could never forget you or forgive Van Helsing for that." - "Someday you will", I said with a shaking voice. He shook his head.
"I love you", Vladislaus said quitly. I couldn´t believe my ears. He had redeemed me. "Thank you", I whispered and my breathing stopped.
He let out a long cry of pain and loss. But even his tears of love couldn´t keep me at his side. So I could only hope that in his heart is a place for me.
