My eyes opened, I felt pain in my torso, and blood was surrounding me. I grimaced in pain. Saphira was leaning over me Thorn was holding her hand. They were both holding their palms on my wound, blood covering their arms.
A copper colored ball came out of the wound and I instantly felt much better. But Saphira and Thorn suddenly fell backwards, apparently they had done much more than remove the bullet and heal the wound.
"What did you do to me?" I screamed, worried they may have hurt themselves trying so hard to protect me.
"We gave you the life span of a…" Thorn trailed off, he was too tired to explain the rest.
"Rider," Saphira finished for him.
"WHAT? YOU WASTED ALL THAT ENERGY ON ME SO I COULD LIVE FOR…WELL…EVER?" I was furious that they'd done it, but at the same time, tears of gratefulness filled my eyes. I blinked them back.
"We-wanted-you-to-be-able-to…" Saphira gasped, fighting the fatigue that was overshadowing him.
"Spend the rest of forever together," Thorn finished wisely for her. Even though it didn't make sense, it still sounded cute. Did I just say cute? Slap me next time… Just kidding! There was a moment of silence as I tried to sum up all the things I felt.
"Thank you. Thank you so much. You don't even know how grateful I am for this. Thank you," the tears I had held back for the last few minutes finally spilt over. Rolling down my cheeks.
Them for some abnormal reason I started laughing. I couldn't believe what happened this night…no…day. To me, it was hilarious.
I saw the people I loved again (even though one of them I didn't like at the time), I sang karaoke, played truth or dare, my house was broken into, I got hit over the head with something, passed out, yelled at people, locked people in my garage, let those people go, got shot, and got healed. Wow. More stuff happened today…or well yesterday since it was early morning, than I thought.
And now, I am going to go back to Alagaesia with the guy I really love. I used to hate my life four months ago, but now, I think it is so amazing. I'm so lucky to be able to be with people who understand me, love me, care for me, and actually say they do know me in public. I wrote my "mom" a note; Tyler wrote a similar one but with a little more love and explanation. And I really do hope that we get to come back, meeting our parents and letting them meet the new us. And letting them meet with our friends.
Mom,
I just wanted to write you a letter telling you that I'm leaving. I am going back to where I ran away to 3 months ago. Even though you didn't know I left and one of my "darling sisters" did, I hope that you, your new husband, and your two daughters have a wonderful life. I will drop letters by to you and maybe visit if you would wish me to. And even though you didn't care for me too much I hope you can forgive me for running off. No matter how much you and I both refuse to admit it, I'll miss you all. Thank you for sheltering me for the last years I've lived with you and your family.
Have a wonderful life,
Caden
Well…I'm now sad to say it but that was the end. ( So sad now. Anyway I have a one shot on my mind to go with the letter. I'll miss this story and I'll revise it some day. The epilogue will be the FINAL chapter.
Toodles,
Midnight
