Hah! Did you seriously think that I would leave you hanging like that? Though it was a good idea, I feel like it not. Actually my subconscious, though it just gave up, will not let me complete this story without the damned epilogue. If it weren't for that I might have left you guessing like that, I'm so evil.

Have a nice read.

!-Epilogue-!

My fingers rested on the keyboard as they stopped typing. I looked at the monitor's screen. It had been ten years since then. This event had haunted my dreams for the past week, so I had finally decided to write what had happened.

Kai had decided to take Dimetra in, probably because we later discovered that her uncle was Boris and she had no other living relatives, the moron had probably killed her parents. The courts had agreed to Kai becoming her guardian, probably because Boris had too many charges on his head for him to be allowed to take care of her. She was seventeen now, and every bit of a rebel that she had always been.

Tyson and Max, well mainly Tyson, had been annoyed when they found out Kai hadn't left for Voltaire's trial, there had been none. But this made sense, we couldn't find any news about it. The fact that Rei couldn't tell me what he thought had made me mad at him for all of a minute. I just can't stay angry at him.

As I sighed and saved the file the door opened and I heard footsteps. Instinctively, I knew who it was.

My beliefs were confirmed when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind and a kiss was placed on my cheek.

"What's that?" Rei looked at the last words of the document. "Oh." He tensed up, recognizing it.

I turned my head to smile up at him, I placed a hand on his arm, using my foot to flick the power of the surge protector off. The screen turned black. I felt the scar on his arm from where Nezz had repeatedly bit into his arm to fling him around.

"Can I do something for you?"

"Hey, remember you're supposed to be going to the doctor's today?"

"Opps. Let me get dressed." Rei let go off me and I ran off into my bedroom, our bedroom actually. I got dressed in some of my favorite pink clothes. Rei said I looked best in them. Unfortunately, I was finding it harder to fit into them every passing day. This was probably because I was what, four months pregnant with our child by now. I smiled and rested a hand on my belly before going out the door.

"Fear and Torment" Extra Comments by the Author

Hey folks! Sorry that the Epilogue is so short, but it wouldn't fit in with the other chapters, but I had to get it in, so I could spare myself getting my head bitten off. I mean come on, for all points and purposes it seemed like Rei was dead, and seriously, I was all set to leave you hanging like that, however my subconscious had to get this in and make it a "happy" ending.

Now this is the point where I usually say stuff like, watch out for the sequel, or advertise other stories I have that have similar pairings. Sorry to disappoint those of you who liked this story, but this is it as far as my Rei and Mariah stories go.

I got inspired by reading a story where the village burned down, but it was left with Mariah crying, and I read the reviews. They said it would be better if it had been continued to let Mariah have an adventure. I never checked on the story again, but my mind had a seed for this story planted in it and it would not let me rest until I got the first chapter up.

I was originally going to leave it like its inspiration a one-shot, but my subconscious got me to put up all subsequent chapters up until seven. By that point the "seed" had grown into a fairly twisted tree, so I was left with a few inklings as to how the story was supposed to end. And yes, the epilogue was included, though I would have been more then happy to leave the story as it was, I was not allowed to leave any loose ends.

So basically, I'm not writing any more Rei Mariah stories as far as I'm concerned, mainly because I dislike the pairing. Yes I suppose its okay, nothing wrong with it really. But I'm more of a fan of Rei and Salima myself, and I think that Rei and Mariah are more like brother and sister. Probably why I lost complete interest in the continuation of this story. But, nothing against the pairing, I just am not a fan of it, though I see the reasoning behind it

However, I did enjoy writing all the gore into this, it just worked well. I hope this didn't seem to horrible to you reading this. Hope you all enjoyed it more then I like writing this! –For after the first chapter I wasn't found of this-

I hope you enjoyed my experimental pairing story! –for I wanted to see how well I could write a horror, suspense, romance combo-

This is Digi signing out -leaves-
