Epilogue

Robin slotted herself into the seat near the back of the bus, so she wouldn't be disturbed by annoying and talkative passengers on the way home.

She sat down slowly, her wound was still sore and as she did, she felt a slight rustle coming from her jacket. She slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a letter and she suddenly remembered, it was the letter that Lucas had written her.

The girl breathed deeply as she opened it and pulled out the sheet of paper, it covered with black script.

"Dear Robin," she read, hearing Lucas' voice in her head.

"I guess I should start by saying sorry for leaving you without any explanation. I know I should have told you but I'm weak and I didn't want you to hate me. Although to be fair, you might hate me anyway now, but I hope you don't though because I love you so much. You know that, right? But…you're probably thinking that if I really loved you, I would have told you what was going on. Well you're right. So here goes…

There's something inside of me, Robin and it's not what the doctors said, it's…a wolf. Now don't think I'm crazy or anything, it's true, there's a curse on my family and…This sounds insane, doesn't it? Just writing it down, makes me laugh a little at the situation, I mean you have to, right? And you know what? Forget it. I don't want to spend this letter talking about things like that. The real reason I'm writing to you really, is to say goodbye…I'm not coming back, Robin. But I need you to know that being with you has been the only thing that made my life worth anything and that's why I can let you go because I lived my life to the best of what it could be. I know you're probably rolling your eyes because you hate my sentimental moments but…"

"Excuse me!" a rude woman said loudly.

"PISS OFF!" the girl screamed back, causing the passenger to fall back scared.

She quickly returned to her letter.

"….but I know deep down, you're smiling. Do you remember the time when I gave you a bunch of roses for Valentine's Day and you threw them away because you said they were highly unoriginal? Well I never told you this, but I found it, in the shoe box underneath the old blankets. Yes, I found the 1 you saved. I knew you were a softie like me….I don't even know why I'm writing about that, it's just all coming out of me for no reason. Ok, final words now, are you ready?

Robin: please be happy. I know when you find me, because I know you will, you'll be so angry and hurt that you'll lash out at people that you barely know just to hide it, but I hope that after that (and after you apologise) that you'll be happy, that you'll smile again and find love again. My dear, I know that in a perfect world, we would grow old together and live to a thousand but unfortunately, we live in this one, a world filled with war and peace, with compassion and indifference, evil and good. So the only thing we can do is the best we can and hope that it's enough. Please understand that, that's all I'm trying to do. Love you for forever and a day. Lucas."

As the soft words sunk into her skin, Robin felt her heart beat again and a slight peace filling her up. But still there was something lacking and she knew what that was and pulling out her mobile, she dialed, hearing the familiar husky voice on the other end.

"Hi, it's me. I just wanted to say…I'm sorry."
