Lady Lithoniel: well here we are the end! cries I can't believe it my first finished fic, I'd just like to thank all the awesome people who reviewed! Now on with the final performance sweeps cloak around and bows dramatically before stalking off into the shadows
Ashley was released the next afternoon. Later that day the gang found themselves at a restaurant having a last drink together.
"Well I think this demon girl has had enough of the south, time to head back up north." Ashley sighed with a small smile, "I heard from my parents yesterday, they've, they've invited me back home."
"That's great!" Calleigh said seeing her friends eyes mist up slightly. Ashley grinned and winked.
"Ah now you don't think this is the last you'll be seeing of me do you?" Ashley smirked taking a sip of her Bay Breeze, "I'll be back don't you worry"
"I'm not worried about you; I'm worried about our sanity." Catherine teased. Ashley mock growled, but her eyes were dancing. Everyone laughed and Ashley noticed Horatio slyly slip an arm around Calleigh's waist and she smiled.
"Well you never know where I'll turn up." Ashley giggled like a naughty child.
"Why do I suddenly feel absolute terror?" Ryan said. Ashley growled and punched his arm playfully.
"Ow that hurt!" he said feigning pain.
"Wolf?" Delko asked.
"Yes?" Ashley and Ryan said at the same time. Everyone at the table cracked up, it felt good to laugh after all they'd been through, now they could get back to normal…well a little more normal anyway. Eric grinned and raised his glass.
"To our favorite werewolf."
"Here, here!" everyone said lifting their glasses.
"Aw guys!" Ashley said, as she blushed modestly.
"Perfect, who ever heard of a modest demon?" Ryan chuckled. Ashley landed him another punch on the arm, "okay I take it back! Jeez!"
"Well I better get a move on and get to the airport, the plane leaves in a bit, I've gotta pack up some last minute things and then its back to the rock for this girl."
Ryan raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Ashley cut him off.
"And no Ryan I don't mean Alcatraz!"
"Well feel free to visit anytime wolf girl." Eric said. Ashley grinned as she rose from her seat and headed out the door.
"See you 'round by's!" she called back before the door swung shut. The group of CSI's were quiet for a moment.
"Do you think we'll see her again?" Catherine asked quietly.
"Oh I have a feeling." Gil said, "We'll be seeing her again."
A few hours later Ashley was sitting on the plane bound for Vegas. Gil and Catherine had taken some time off and were staying in Miami for a while. By the time they returned she would be gone.
"Hmmm maybe I'll come back for a vacation next summer?" she asked herself quietly. Then she pulled a face and grinned, "Nah it'd probably be boring."
The werewolf chuckled to herself as the plane rose higher in the sky. The clouds below them were like a fluffy white sea. Ashley couldn't help but smile, soon she'd see the frigid North Atlantic she loved.
"Watch out Newfoundland, the Alpha is comin' home!"
THE END…or is it?
Lady Lithoniel: Short I know, but look at the ending, is that not a big enough hint or do I need to put up a virtual neon sign? Oh and for anybody who likes Pirates of the Caribbean I'm a pirates fic today so ya you can look out for that.
