Hello my lovely readers! I have finally finished this story. YAY! No offence but I was getting rather tired at me feeling guilty all the time at the fact that I wasn't typing up my story.

I warn you many melodramatic/cliché/possibly over done things happen in this chapter but I couldn't resist putting them in as I am a sucker for that kind of stuff.

I am sorry if you don't think this chapter that good a ending. If you don't, please review and say, so then I can try and make it better. If you do think it's good, please review and say, so then I can jump up and dance around the room.

Also, please forgive me for the dreadful grammar and spelling. If you have read my story so far you'll know how ever many times I re-read my chapter I always seem to miss some spelling mistake. I'll re-read this tomorrow.

Chapter 13

Brianna's feet pounded the side walk as she sprinted through the dark alleyways and twisting passages, trying to reach the Safehouse by the shortest way possible. She ignored everything around her and concentrated on keeping a steady pace which she could keep for the five blocks she had left to run.

Her mind kept replaying the hurried telephone conversation with a witch who lived there that she had received a few minutes ago. The words "surprise attack" and "can't escape" still echoed in her mind.

Breathing was becoming difficult as she struggling to gulp in air which didn't seem to fill her lungs in the slightest but she couldn't slow down. I have to reach the Safehouse before Dorian hurts someone, Brianna reminded herself as she fought to keep going, it'd be my fault if anyone was.

She quickened her pace, now running as fast as she could though the Safehouse still seemed miles away. The surroundings seemed to blur and all noises seemed to fade except the loud sound of her rapidly beating heart. Her limbs were screaming out in agony but still she ran. It seemed hours rather than minutes before she reached the fire escape which went up the side of the Safehouse.

Slowing her pace to quiet the sound of her footsteps Brianna tried to catch her breath as she went up the stairs. She kept out of view of the passing windows after checking to see if any captured Daybreakers were held within. Eventually she reached the top floor and was beginning to lose all hope of finding them.

Looking through the window she realised she had found the Daybreakers. The room was scattered with the tied up bodies of the Daybreakers. Each person seemed near lifeless and there seemed to be no movement in the room at all. They could have been mistaken for being asleep but the fresh cuts and bruises covering the majority of them showed they had been knocked unconscious. Amongst them Brianna spotted Ash, lying against one of the walls with his head lolling to one side.

Scanning the room Brianna ensured the room was empty of any guards Brianna took out a small pocket knife and used it to carefully pries the window open. She slipped noiselessly into the room then crouched down next to the nearest person and began to cut their bonds.

Before she could finish cutting them she heard the creak of a floorboard behind her and spun round only to receive a telepathic blow which sent her flying across the room into a wall. The blow sent her plunging into unconscious.

The novelty of being knocked out is certainly beginning to wear off, Brianna thought to herself as she pulled herself into an awkward sitting position. Her now bound arms and legs left her unable to stand up and her throbbing head lead her to belief she couldn't have anyway. Looking out towards the window she saw it was still dark meaning she couldn't have been out for more than a few hours.

"Finally woken up have you?" The supposedly unconscious Ash called from across the room. "Took you long enough."

"Well I'm, sorry but I'm not really used to fighting telepathically seeing as I'm not a vampire." Brianna replied dryly, gazing around the room to see Ash wasn't the only one who had now gained consciousness. Most of the vampires were now awake and so were a few witches. Most of them were talking quietly to each other, undoubtedly trying to figure a way to escape.

"Oh please. My Grandmother could have delivered a better blow than any of those goons" Ash retorted scornfully.

"It's funny. I don't remember you saying that whilst you were unconscious." Ash glowered at her whilst she smiled serenely in reply.

"So are you actually going to do anything Brianna or are you just going to sit there?" Ash questioned. "Because if you're just going to sit there tell me so I can get some sleep."

"Just a minute." Brianna muttered through gritted teeth as she struggled to find her pocket knife which she had left in the depths of her pocket. Pulling it out she cut at the ropes tied round her arms and legs.

"Ash, you untie the others whilst I take out the guards," She tossed the penknife over to him. "They might check up on us at any moment so be quick about it."

"Really? And here I was planning to take as long as possible." Ash's sarcasm was naturally very helpful.

"Quit being a smartass and start getting people out of here. I'll create a distraction to give you some time." Brianna left the room, ignoring Ash as he muttered loudly about always being stuck with the boring jobs.

Entering the hallway dimly lit by a flickering light bulb Brianna saw that it was empty, though distantly she could here the footsteps of someone coming up the stairs. She crept towards the end of the hallway and hid next to the wall waiting for the unknown person to finish climbing the stairs and come round the corner to were she was hidden.

Patience, Brianna warned herself, resisting the urge to go into battle and deciding to wait until he came closer meaning she would be able to take him out quickly and silently. The creaks in the floorboards forewarned her of the approaching guard so when he turned the corner she was ready for him.

A punch to the face followed by a kick to the stomach left him gasping for breath and barely able to stand. Brianna tried to finish him off by grabbing his neck and throwing him into the wall but he managed to grab her arm forcing her to turn round in order to avoid breaking her arm. She elbowed him in the ribs with her free arm causing him to splutter and weaken his grip on her other arm. Brianna pulled her arm out of his grasp then gave her attacker a heavy blow to the head. He fell to the ground.

The sound of his fallen body must have attracted the attention of the guards below for soon Brianna heard the sound of pounding footsteps traveling up the staircase. Unwilling to face another load of fighters Brianna decided to take the only available quickly accessible escape route left now that she couldn't go down the stairs. The open window

"Where is she?" Yelled Eban to the fighters surrounding him, looking around the now deserted corridor. "The girl who was trying to help those Daybreaker scum. She's gone! The rest are still in there knocked out yet somehow she managed to escape thanks to Mr. Helpful over here."

Eban kicked viciously at the guard crumpled up on the floor who moaned loudly in agony clutching his stomach. Eban glared accusingly at the rest of the fighter who all remained silent.

"Spread out. Cover every part of this damn house and I don't want you her getting out of here! For all we know she might be going off to get help." The fighters stood motionless. "I SAID GO!"

The hallway immediately became empty once more apart from Eban and the whimpering guard on the floor. Eban bent down to the guard's height and lent threateningly in towards him to speak to him.

"You better get up and start looking. Don't come back unless you've found her 'cause I don't think Dorian's going to be very happy with you if he finds out you've let some Daybreaker vermin escape."

Brianna landed heavily on the fire escape stairs below but she managed to land standing up so that she didn't make too much noise but unfortunately she made enough to attract the attention of the guard on the other side of the window she was standing next to her. He froze unmoving just staring at her for a moment whilst Brianna took that moment to begin running down the fire escape. Soon she heard the sound of breaking glass and she knew she was no longer alone on the fire escape.

As she ran she glanced in one of the passing windows to see someone familiar. Though she only saw his face for a minute Brianna noticed how tired he looked, how much paler he seemed, and how he seemed altogether much older. I have to get to him. Without thinking she leapt through window covering her face to shield her face from the shattered glass which was now cutting into her skin. She turned the leap into a forward roll and managed to end up standing.

"Brianna…" Dorian's voice seemed croaky and strange, as if he was having trouble to speak. He seemed dazed as if unsure whether this was really happening. He was completely ignoring the man standing next to him who was also staring at Brianna though he seemed angry rather than disbelieving.

"Dorian, you've got to-" But her words were cut off by Dorian who had managed to cross the room in one step and had gathered her arms leaving her speechless.

"I though I'd lost you-" He murmured but before Brianna could reply Dorian had leant in towards her kissed her softly and the whole world seemed to melt away. Fireworks seemed to be going off in her head leaving her feeling dizzy and vunerable. Fortunately Dorian was holding onto her tightly for she would have otherwise fallen to the floor as Brianna could feel her knees giving out.

Suddenly she could see everything. She saw his memories. She realised that he hadn't been searching for her but instead Lukas. Lukas, he didn't kill- Brianna began but Dorian interrupted. I know you idiot. I've seen you memories too. They didn't have talk to each other out loud but instead could speak to each other through their thoughts. They found themselves as one.

It seemed forever that they were held together, knowing the other perfectly and seeing how perfectly they fit together. They belonged together. They were soulmates. The rest didn't matter.

"Dorian, what are you doing?" Eban's voice broke the connection and Dorian was brought back to reality. "She's a Daybreaker. She's one of them. She tried to-"

"I told you, I don't have anything against the Daybreakers. Infact I'm probably going to end up becoming one." He smiled down at Brianna and turned to face Eban though he still held her hand tightly. "I told you before. You're not to hurt any of them."

"Well I'm sick of doing what you say!" Eban spat out the words and began to advance upon them as did the other fighters who had now entered the room. "You're just like the rest of them. The Daybreakers. A waste of space."

Dorian tried to push Brianna behind him but she shook him off. She stood next to him and took a fighting stance. I'm not going to leave you again Dorian. I'm going to stay with you no matter what. He knew it was no use arguing with her.

Yelling the fighters ran towards them drawing swords whilst others drew guns whilst Dorian and Brianna were defencless. The chances of them defeating them were impossible but they were going to try anyway.

And they both died….

JUST KIDDING! I'm not that mean. Why would I make both of them die? Sorry I couldn't resist saying that. I'll continue with the chapter now.

Eban began to aim his gun at Dorian, aiming straight for his head. He and his new girlfriend were valiantly trying to fight them all off but they had no chance. Their heroics were simply stupidity. All the fighters had stopped looking as soon as Eban had alerted them they'd found her and were now ready to follow Eban. They didn't have a chance.

Just as he was about he was about to pull the trigger the gun was knocked out of his hand.

"Not so fast goon." Ash punched Eban in the face causing his nose to bleed. Eban stumbled backwards in pain only to be knocked down with a ball of fire.

"You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun, did you?" Ash yelled over to Brianna as the rest of the Daybreaker began to battle the now greatly outnumbered "goons" as Ash called them. Ash kicked the head of one of the fighters on the floor next to him, who had been aiming a gun at one of the witches who had managed to knock him to the floor in the first place. "I'm sorry to steal the limelight. I know how much you like to play the hero."

"Yes," Brianna replied as she used the hilt of a knife to knock out a vampire that had been attempting to throttle her. "I really love nearly getting killed."

"There's no need for sarcasm," Ash answered, trying to sound hurt and offended, which was quite difficult seeing as he was busy grappling with a werewolf.

Soon the whole group of fighters had been knocked out and tied up. Ash had called Thierry, who had promised to send over a group of Daybreakers to deal with them. Those that could stand were trying to help the injured down the stairs to were a bus had been "borrowed" by one of the Daybreakers to take them all to the nearest unharmed Daybreaker Safehouse were they could be healed.

Dorian had insisted carrying Brianna down the stairs though it was her arm that had been hurt and not legs that had been hurt seriously so she walk easily where as Dorian had a deep gash in his leg causing him to limp. Ash, who had managed to injure his leg, then began moaning at Dorian why he hadn't been carried as he hobbled down the stairs.

A few people had stayed behind to make sure Eban and the rest of the fighters didn't escape but the rest headed off with the injured, trying to help when they could. The witches managed to partially heal the worst injured and by time the reached the Safehouse no one was in a critical condition.

Dorian was healed sooner than Brianna, who had to stay at the Safehouse for a few days and he never left her side except when he visited Thierry to tell him what he knew of other Nightworld groups against the Daybreakers. Soon Brianna had been fully healed and finally woke up from the healing spells…

Looking around here bare room Brianna felt things couldn't be better. She sat up in her bed and began to think of the future. Dorian would be there of course and they had decided that they'd continue to do jobs for the Daybreakers but this time they'd do it together. These days Dorian seemed reluctant to let her out of his sight, which was understandable considering he'd thought she'd been dead for months.

"Hey, you're finally awake." Dorian walked in the room and sat down on the bed, his face relieved though Brianna could tell he still hadn't been getting much sleep. "I was getting worried…"

"Don't be such a wuss," Brianna smiled at him affectionately. "You know the healers all said I was fine. They're getting annoyed that you keep bothering them so much."

"And they're probably sick of you getting hurt so much. I've heard about all the times you've nearly got your self killed. You know you should probably start being more-" Brianna cut him off short by wrapping her hands around his neck and pulling him into a kiss.

"I love you Dorian but if you don't stop following me about like I might brake I might have to punch you." Brianna warned him. Dorian leant towards her to kiss her again but Brianna looked behind him to see Lukas. He looked dreadful. His hair was in disarray, he seemed thinner, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, and his clothes obviously hadn't been washed for some time. He seemed to look as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Lukas wait-" Brianna got out of bed and began to walk towards him but before she could reach him he'd turned and ran. He'd heard what she'd said. He knew she loved Dorian. Brianna began to run after him but Dorian stopped her.

"Don't Brianna." He held her tightly round the waist ignoring her protests and shoves as she tried to chase after Lukas. "Leave him. He won't want to see you."

"But I have to explain. I have to tell him I'm sorry. I-" But even as she said the words she knew Dorian was right. She'd broken his heart. He wouldn't ever want to see her again.

Dorian held her in his arms as she sobbed. He had seen her memories and dreaded this happening. He knew how it felt to lose someone you loved and he didn't think he could go through it again. He just hoped Lukas would be able to stand it.

It was a few days before Brianna returned to the flat she and Lukas had lived in. When she returned it was empty just as she has expected, though there had still been a small part of her that had hoped she'd find Lukas there. The flat seemed strange and deserted. Looking around, she found a note left on the night table.
Dear Brianna

I know you love him. I know he will make you happy. You were right, you did finish this but I'm sorry you couldn't stop someone getting hurt. You two are soulmates, when I found that out I guess I should have given up hope…but I didn't. I couldn't. And I don't think I ever will.

You tried to warn me but I just didn't listen. It's not really your fault that things ended this way. I'm going to leave. I won't to get in your way. But I ask, please don't forget me. I know you'll do great things. And don't forget that I loved you.

Don't come looking for me. I won't look for you.

Lukas

They are very readable.

Picsean Wisdom - Thanks a load for all your reviewing. I hope the ending has lived up to your expectations and that it isn't too mushy... Sorry to keep you waiting so long for this chapter. It's very long so took ages to write! I spent hours doing it. When in Ireland I even ended up having to write a bullet point of my plan for this chapter on a piece of wood because I couldn't find any paper (as I was on a beach and had forgotten my notebook) Thanks again. You're great!

El Loopy - I know this ending probably hasn't satisfied your undieing love for little Lukie but you should be pleased I didn't kill him off. Just to satisfy you, I may or may not put Lukie poo in a different story. It depends how generous I'm feeling.

Please review! If you do I will give you a metaphorical chocolate factory. Also, this chapter took so long to write I will be very depressed if I get no reviews. I hope you enjoyed this last chapter (sorry for the cheesy bits! I may change them later)!

P.S To those who have already reviewed this chapter, the metaphorical chocolate factory is in the post. I'm sure it will reach you presently.
