...EPILOGUE...
Jocelyn
looked at her two children. Her twins. Little Jacoby de Changy and
Jacqueline de Changy, neither of which were deformed.
She was so
happy and excited and heartbroken...
Raoul never got to see them.
He died. He never saw her after Jocelyn found out she was pregnant.
She tried to see him, but Christine forced them apart.
It killed
Raoul never to see Jocelyn. He died of starvation. He refused to eat
until he saw her.
When Jocelyn showed up at the funeral with the
Girys, Christine started to yell that Jocelyn was a whore and that
she killed Raoul, then Jocelyn went into labor.
Jocelyn was so
angry at Christine, that she refused Christine to see the twins,
until they were four.
Jacoby looked just like his father and took
to fencing, which he learned from his grandfather, rather quickly.
Jacqueline had a beautiful singing voice but her passions were
horseback riding and painting, which she excelled at.
Jocelyn,
Jacoby, and Jacqueline moved to the Opera House, where Jocelyn taught
singing.
They lived happily for the rest of their days.
Those
are the words I wish I could type, but sadly Jacqueline quickly
became depressed after moving to the Opera House and leaving behind
her horse, Erik. Jacoby did everything to help his sister. He went
with his grandfather on weekends to study fencing, he begged his
sister to come along so she could ride. She tried, but she hated how
Christine treated Jacoby like a prince and her like a bitch, how her
aunts commented on how chubby she was. The only thing she enjoyed
about going was her grandfather who treated her sweetly.
Jacqueline
stayed penned up in her room painting and painting. Sometimes making
up sad songs and singing. She never let her mother see how depressed
she was. Jacoby however saw every thread of her pain.
What really
killed her is when Jocelyn got married to a tenor from the Opera
House. It wasn't the fact that her mother was getting married, it was
the fact that he had two daughter. They flirted with Jacoby endlessly
and teased Jacqueline to all ends. The only good thing about him and
his daughters was that they owned a ranch and at least once a month
they went up there. She could ride horses again.
Unfortunately,
Jocelyn died when her children were seventeen. Jacqueline then drove
herself into horseback riding. Jacoby pushed himself into fencing.
Luckily, their step-father saw how much Jacqueline loved being at
the ranch and how much his daughters hated it, so in his will he left
the ranch to Jacqueline. He died when Jacoby and Jacqueline hit their
twentieth birthday.
