Epilogue

Five Years Later

After two years of running and collecting supporters (aka an army), we had disbanded the Edison Group. No one died, thank God. I guess the scientists weren't expecting an attack and they didn't know how to fight. We got lucky.

During those two years of running, we found Kit, the boys' father. We found him in Canada, holed up in some abandoned building. He was a pretty nice guy. He approved of Derek and me. He even helped us to get an apartment after we dispatched the evil scientists.

I had learned to control my powers. I even learned that I had some other powers that went with the necromancy. I could save lives as well as take life away. Instead of just stuffing a soul back into a dead body and reanimating the corpse, I could bring that person back to life. There were limits to this, of course. Like, I couldn't bring someone back who had taken a life on purpose. How could I tell if they had murdered someone? That was just another part of my power. I could see if that person was evil. I had never taken a life if I had seen the evil…but, the anonymous tip line at police headquarters had had plenty of luck.

Derek and I had become even closer than I thought possible. We hardly ever spent any time apart. Many people might find that weird, but because we were mates, we needed to be close to each other. If we didn't…things could get a little tense. Tense is putting things mildly. One time, when I was still learning to control my powers, I had to go to Virginia to meet with another necromancer (Derek couldn't come. He had to go to a meeting for The Pack and he couldn't get out of it). The man (the necromancer) lived in the mountains and cell service was not so great. One day, I couldn't go down the mountain (the car broke down) to make the daily phone call to Derek (I called him everyday at one p.m.) and, Derek being Derek, he flipped out (he didn't like the fact that I was staying with a man without him there, he trusted me but not the man). I missed the one phone call and he assumed the worst. It was about 5 p.m. (A.N.-I don't know how long it would take to fly there) and I was outside practicing with my mentor. All of a sudden, I hear a whirring noise. I turn around and I see a helicopter coming out of the horizon. Before it even lands, five massive wolves jump out and Derek is leading them (I recognized them all, I had met them before). My teacher starts spazzing out and tries to drag me into the house. Derek sees this and starts to advance on him, growling and flashing his teeth. I finally break free of his grasp and run up to Derek.

"Derek! What the hell!" I start to berate him. "I missed one call and you fly here? To do what? Kill the poor man that you just scared half to death?" He has the decency to look properly chastised for one minute. Then he looked at me and glared. I had no idea that wolves could glare, but he pulled it off, his look saying you didn't call, so I have the right to be here and to kill the ass behind you. "The car broke down yesterday and I wasn't going to walk down a mountain." By this time, my teacher has walked up behind me.

"You know them?" His voice shook as he asked.

"Yes. This wolf here is Derek." I pointed to Derek, who then came up to me and nuzzled my hand and leaned into me, head resting on my shoulder (remember his head reaches her shoulder and he's the size of a small horse)."He's the one I call everyday. I told you that he would be worried that I didn't call today. I told you that he would show up, I just didn't know that he'd have an escort. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that he's a werewolf. It slipped my mind. I normally don't have to explain that he's a werewolf. All of our friends already knew and it never came up. Anyway, I'm his mate and his fiancé. That explains why he freaked out as bad as he did." I kissed the top of his head.

"Oh, I see. I had heard that werewolves have mates. I just didn't know how they behaved if they got worried."

"Yeah. You're lucky you couldn't hang on to me." I smiled. "You might have lost a hand. Derek has a no-touching rule. He doesn't even like me to hug Simon, his brother. It's a wolf thing. Very territorial and very overprotective even though he has no reason to be."

"In that case I am lucky." He smiled but I could see the wariness. At least it wasn't fear.

I looked at Derek. "Why don't you go Change and then you can meet my teacher?"

He nodded. When he went to Change, my teacher commented.

"Even in wolf form, it's crystal clear that he absolutely loves you." I smiled. "And it's crystal clear that you love him."

Sorry it was so short. I just wanted to finish the story and I was running out of ideas. Like it? Love it? Hate it? Want to flame me? Review please.

P.S.- I have other ideas.

1.) A crossover with a Dark Hunter novel.

2.) Derek is in prison and stuff happens (not sure what yet) while he's locked up (inspired by the movie Lock Up)

3.) A short story where Derek has been gone for four years and he come back for Chloe (it's much better than it sounds) and it will have the others POVs.

If any of these sound good, PM me or whatever. Let me know if I should continue my writing of Darkest Powers fanfic.
