...The Vampire & The Wolf...

"I guess chivalry's not dead, just really late to the party."

Epilogue

Elijah awoke at dawn disturbed by sunlight streaming the lush leaved trees. It was hard to believe the destruction that occurred while looking at a place so beautiful, so peaceful, so quiet. He propped himself up against the tree trunk hazily but then jolted wide awake.

"Hayley." His mind recalled immediately. Last night certainly seemed like a mixture between a dream and nightmare but his current position proved that it t did in fact take place.

Elijah grew naturally worried by not seeing the woman by his side. The fear that he had experienced yesterday would have him paranoid for a lengthy period of time.

He would not let her out of his sight.

Elijah stood up dusting his jacket.

"Hayley!" he was about to call but didn't need to.

He heard a rustle of leaves and immediately latched onto her scent.

His senses brought him to a large tree. Elijah grew confused.

"Elijah." A voice croaked softly.

Elijah turned to face the sound. Hayley's head peaked from behind the tree trunk. Her face looked healthier; the cuts had healed, though she was still a mess. "A beautiful mess." he thought and smiled.

"Good Morning." He replied playfully and she smiled.

"I need to see my daughter." Hayley then spoke a sombre expression falling onto her face.

"Yes, of course. Come let's get you home." He replied with almost a sigh, they all needed to get home.

Elijah turned to leaved but Hayley did not follow him.

He turned back and looked at her confused.

"Umm your jacket?" she asked eying his coat and then it hit him.

His eyes wondered to the ground seeing her bare feet in a pile of shreds.

Clothes.

He then looked up at her and she blushed slightly.

"I do apologise." He spoke alluringly taking off his outdoor coat in one swift motion.

Hayley rolled her eyes.

He handed her the coat and put it on. She took a deep breathed taking in his scent and then stepped out from behind the tree.

Elijah walked up to her, pulling a leaf out of her hair.

His mouth opened to speak but she interrupted him...

"I love you." She spoke taking out the words from his mouth. She then walked past him waiting for him to follow her.

"Shall we." She asked just as he would have.

Elijah nodded smiling at the ground a little taken a back.
