A New Life
Epilogue (Five Years Later)
Claire's POV
Everything's been fine these past five years. Cristina's 12 years old now; she's doing much better now that she's healed. You know that boy that she had a crush on? Well, he stopped coming here because he had to move away. Cristina was very depressed for the first few days, but she's gotten better over time.
Oh, and me? Well, I'm doing okay. After that day five years ago, Mom decided to live here as well, but not in my house. Gotz built her a house next to the blacksmith's. She said that she doesn't want us to be separated any more than we were. Oh yeah, I just had a baby too. Her name is Cheri. I got married a year ago. Cristina decided to move in with Mom right after I got married.
The villagers are pretty much the same. Mom is good friends with Manna, Sasha, and Anna. She joins them in the square every afternoon to gossip. The library's still my favorite place; I go to the Inn too. Cristina still goes to the church everyday. She'll stop going when she's fifteen, by then, Carter won't have anymore to teach them.
Our lives are better now. Seeing all the things we've been through in the past you'd think that we'd be traumatized or something. Well, we're not. We stayed strong through the bad times and that's what got us through to the good times. My life is just about perfect now. I'm married, I have a child, my mother is alive and well, and Cristina's healed.
"Claire! Can May and Stu come with me to your house so we can see the baby?" Cristina asked.
"Sure Cristina." Right then, the three of them ran off to my house.
Sure, Dad can't join us, but it's okay. I know he's watching over us. He's probably glad that we didn't let all the things in the past affect us that badly. We have moved on and made a new life for ourselves.
