Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying this story, and sorry the last chapter was so short, unless you prefer short chapters. I have made this Simonette into a trilogy, but there will be a waiting period between each sequel. Think of it like waiting for a movie you like to come to theatres, so remain patient; the Simonette trilogy will get finished. For now, enjoy this final chapter to part one of the trilogy, and please leave reviews, follow, and favorite this story. I could use some feedback! Enough chat; enjoy!
The sun disappeared over the horizon, while Simon and Jeanette engaged in the night hunt. Simon had led Jeanette through a thick part of the forest, where no hunters would dare to enter. Running through thick areas was easy for Jeanette due to her claws being sharp enough, they could cut through a tree branch like a machete, and with Simon's help, she was able to make it through as if she were walking down an empty hallway.
Simon stopped, and Jeanette knew why; an animal was near. Her sense of smell was strong, and she could easily smell the blood of an animal from miles away.
"Can you smell it?", asked Simon.
"Yes. Clear as glass," replied Jeanette.
"Good. This is your test to see if you can take down an animal, without attracting attention."
"I'm ready."
"Relax yourself, and when you have it in your sights, attack. To avoid any attention, grab it by the neck, and snap it. The animal will die, then you can feed."
"Okay, Simon."
Jeanette took a few steps forward, remaining hidden behind a bush, and followed the smell of the blood. She looked up from behind the bush, and spotted a young deer. She licked her lips, and quickly pounced at the deer, grabbing it around the head. The deer struggled, but was silenced quickly after Jeanette broke its neck. The deer lied on the ground, dead, and before Simon could make it to Jeanette, Jeanette had already ripped her sharp teeth into the deer's flesh, and was devouring the content inside.
Simon backed away, knowing that a Remagorah doesn't like to share their kills, but Jeanette interrupted his thoughts.
"What are you waiting for? Dig in."
Simon couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Remagorahs' don't share their kills; they claim it as their meal, and only their meal. I would be violating our culture if I joined you."
"Rules, rules, rules. Simon, sometimes breaking the rules is the best thing to do, plus I love you, and am willing to share my kill with you."
"I don't know."
"Stop being so loyal, and eat with me."
Simon felt like he had no choice.
"Okay, Jeanette."
"Thank you, Simon."
Simon kneeled down next to Jeanette, and sunk his razor-sharp teeth into the deer, tasting the hot blood. It was delicious, and he was sharing it with another of his kind; the one person he loved. With his loved one, he feasted on the deer, enjoying a kill for the first time in his life as a Remagorah. In a way, he felt like he was dating with Jeanette. Could her becoming one of his kind have been for the best? He didn't care, because she was here as one of his kind, sharing a feast with him.
"Miller Residence"
It was quiet in the Miller's house, and Brittany and Eleanor were in bed. The time was 9:26 P.M, and Miss Miller sat in the living room, alone, waiting for her daughter to return. Her face was blank, and she was losing her patience, wondering where Jeanette could be. She said she would be back by sundown, and now, it was far past sundown, and Miss Miller was starting to worry if something could've happened to her daughter; something bad.
This time of night was a dangerous time to be out, and she was starting to wonder if Simon had taken her into the cursed forest, and had gotten lost. She was wondering if "they" had found and killed her, just like they got her childhood friend, twelve years before. Miss Miller would never forget the sound of her friend screaming for mercy, as she was killed mercilessly. Her blood covering the ground, and her body to never be found.
Miss Miller rose from her chair, and walked upstairs, to her bedroom, with her hand's in fists. She walked to her closet, and opened it. At the base of the closet sat a large black case, which she lifted out of the closet, and lied it on the bed. She opened it, and looked down at what she had held secret for so long.
"The time has come."
It took Simon and Jeanette an hour to devour every bit of the meat of the deer, which was an excellent kill, due them both being full from that one meal. An offering was still required to please the Master, so Simon and Jeanette grabbed the most precious bones of the body; the ribs. Jeanette was afraid of what might happen when the Master notices her, along with Alvin and Theodore, and if he would accept her as one of them.
She wondered who the Master could be; what he looked like. The way Simon described him was ancient, but that wasn't enough to calm her nerves; just what was the Master capable of. He is the Master of all Remagorah, so he will probably be very powerful and judgemental. Jeanette was turned by Simon, which is forbidden, and she loved him, which was also forbidden. She feared if Simon would have to face consequences, or if she would be killed along with Simon. Meeting the Master was something she didn't want to do, but she had no choice.
Simon could hear her thoughts, and feel her feelings.
"Jeanette, if he dares to even harm you, I will make sure he doesn't. If he kills me, there will be no descendent to take his place when he passes."
"I just fear he will do something to teach me a lesson."
"I'll protect you. He won't touch you, I promise."
"Okay, Simon. I trust you."
"Follow me. I'm taking you to the Master's domain."
"Let's go."
Simon led Jeanette further into the forest, to the Master's domain. The path she was taking was thick as a tangled fishing pole's reel, and very dark, as if it were meant to be hidden from everybody, except Remagorahs'. She could see footprints from Theodore and Alvin, filled with droplets of blood, meaning their offerings were bloody. Alvin could have anything, due to him being a ruthless monster, while Theodore could have a small offering, such as a rabbit.
Jeanette was stained with blood from the deer, and small bits of blood covered her glass's lens. Her sharp teeth were all stained with blood, so Jeanette licked the blood from the tips of her teeth clean, enjoying the taste of the deer's blood. She couldn't believe that she had actually ate a deer's meat, uncooked, but she didn't need to worry of any diseases, because she was a carnivore now, and raw meat was her food.
She had no regrets for killing an innocent deer, because it was the deer or starve to death. In a way, she enjoyed her new life, but she wasn't going to speak to soon, because she had not yet met the Master; the one who will judge her, and decide if she would become one of them or not. She was already turned, so the Master couldn't take back the power she had been cursed with for the rest of her life, and she knew that Simon would protect her from harm.
Simon stopped in front of what looked like an old house; the perfect place for a supernatural creature to hide.
"Where are we?", asked Jeanette.
"You stand before the home the Master was born in; the Seville Dormant House," replied Simon.
"It looks ancient."
"That's because it is. This house is centuries old, and has a disturbing story."
"You told me already."
"No. I only told you a fraction of my Master's past."
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you another time. It's a long story."
"It's no big deal. I understand."
"Are you ready to face him?"
"I'm not afraid. Yes. I'm ready."
"Follow me."
Simon walked to a small opening on the far left side of the house, like an entrance into an abandoned mine, and entered it. Jeanette wasted no time, and followed Simon into the opening. She was ready; ready to face the Master.
"Miller's Residence"
Miss Miller stood before her daughters, with the moonlight shining into the room. She nudged her children gently, waking them up out of a dead sleep.
"What is it, Miss Miller?", asked Brittany, groggy.
"Yeah. Why are you waking us?", asked Eleanor, rubbing her eyes.
Miss Miller stood, looking at her children with a serious face
"Get up; We're going hunting," said Miss Miller.
Brittany and Eleanor were confused.
"What?", asked Brittany.
Miss Miller was getting impatient.
"Do I have to say it twice?! Get up! We're going hunting after what has your sister," said Miss Miller.
Brittany and Eleanor both got a sick feeling in their stomachs', because they were wondering if Jeanette was in trouble, so both of them rose from bed, and prepared themselves for a night of hunting.
The long entrance was dark with only torches on the walls lighting the way. Jeanette could feel something like a strong presence, which she figured was the Master waiting for them. She came to the end of the passage, and was already spotted by Alvin and Theodore, on their knees, obeying their master. They gave her looks of disgust and rage, hating that she was one of them now. Alvin stood from his knees, revealing a carcass of a large coyote, bleeding repulsively.
"What are you doing here, you pathetic fool?! Only Remagorahs are allowed, so beat it!"
Simon stood before his brother, giving him a look of anger.
"You better listen, and listen good. You have no right to call insult her, or threaten her. If you insult her again, I'll make you wish you didn't."
Alvin chuckled. "You can't harm me, idiot. I possess the Seal of Protection, which protects me from threats like you."
"Is that so? The Seal of Protection's properties only work against mortals, not our kind, so I can hurt you, dummy."
Alvin got a dumb look on his face, knowing his brother was right. He backed away from Simon, and returned to his position, on the ground.
"That's what I thought."
Jeanette had remained quiet, observing the two bickering brothers insulting each other. She could feel that powerful sensation inside again, meaning the Master was near. Her thoughts were correct, as a tall, ancient creature rose from the darkness, into the light; The Master was here.
The Master looked down at all four of them, with his blood-red eyes. He was making growling sounds, like when you are hungry and your stomach grumbles, and his long, jagged teeth were gritted. His flesh was a sick grey color, and he was tall and skinny, like a weed sticking out of the ground. His height was unbelievable; over ten feet, he had no hair, his fingernails were long and sharp, and his body was all skin and bones.
Jeanette kneeled down on her knee, trying to remain calm, as the Master observed her.
"Who is this? The female one."
Simon spoke up, in Jeanette's defence against any danger.
"Master, this a newborn, Jeanette. I accidentally turned her into one of us, during an attack."
The Master was angry at Simon, due to turning others being forbidden.
"Simon, you know our kind is forbidden to do what you did. Even if she is one of us, she is not a true Remagorah. Therefore, she needs to be removed from existence, by death."
Jeanette's blood went cold, as the Master put her under a spell of some kind, before Simon could even respond to protect her. Jeanette could feel her body beginning to crush to bits, and was close to death. The Master laughed.
"Farewell, Jeanette."
Before the final blow was struck, Jeanette felt a strength come over her body, and started to push out of the Master's spell's grip.
"You won't get me so easy!"
Jeanette's red eyes changed to gold color, as she let out a thrust of strength that broke the Master's spell. Jeanette's rage was above any limit it had ever been at, and she stared at the Master with the gold in her eyes, hurting the Master. The Master attempted to retreat, but was stopped by Jeanette, who cast a spell on him, and started to torture him ruthlessly. Jeanette was more powerful then the Master now.
The Master made the howling sound the Remagorah made, pleading for help from his fellow Remagorah allies, Alvin and Theodore, but Alvin and Theodore were too stunned to do anything. The Master continued to howl, but Jeanette silenced him by crushing the fragile bones in his body.
"You're finished," said Jeanette, in a sinister voice.
The Master made one last plea for help. "Help me, children! Kill her!"
It was no use. Alvin and Theodore were motionless, and Simon was enjoying the show, because he had wanted to see this for so long. Jeanette finished the Master off, and crushed his body to nothing. The Master was dead, for good.
The aftermath of the Master's demise was silent, except for Simon and Jeanette, who were smiling and holding paws. Jeanette had returned to normal.
"What happened?"
"You killed the Master, Jeanette."
"I what!?"
"You crushed him to nothing."
"If I killed the Master, why isn't anything happening to you? You said you were next to become the Master, once he passed."
"I don't know."
Suddenly, the scripture on Alvin, Simon, and Theodore's seals, glowed red, then started to fade to nothing. The seals snapped in half, and collapsed to the ground, which confused Jeanette. What was happening? That was when Jeanette felt herself start to change back to normal, along with the rest of the others. All four of them were puzzled on what was happening, because they shouldn't change back to normal until sunrise.
"Simon, what is happening?", asked Jeanette.
"It's the seals. Since they were connected to the Master, and he didn't die the way he was supposed to, the curse is broken," replied Simon.
"What?"
"I'm free, and so are you and my brothers'! I'm finally, free from him; from the curse."
"You mean, I broke the curse, but how?"
"Something inside you broke free; something stronger then the Master himself."
Jeanette thought for a moment of what could've broken free from inside of her, and realized that it could only be the one thing the Master hated. His weakness; love.
"Simon, it was love. Love is the one thing that could defeat him. That's why he didn't let emotion corrupt any Remagorah's mind; because he knew if love existed inside, he could be weakened."
"You're right! Your love for me and your loved ones is what made you strong; what made you strong enough to defeat him."
Simon lunged toward Jeanette, and kissed her passionately, running his finger's through her soft hair.
"I love you, Jeanette. I love you so much!"
"I love you too, Simon."
Jeanette and Simon kissed passionately again, without stopping.
Miss Miller sat inside her convertible, waiting for anything to exit the forest. She was parked on the right side of the road on Oak Street; the same spot the girls encountered the boys as Remagorah. She held a crossbow in her lap, loaded with a silver-tipped arrow, to kill her target. Her vengeance would at long last be fulfilled, by killing what killed her friend years ago. She was ready to finish it; the dawn of the Remagorah.
She heard some rustling in the trees, so she rose the crossbow, ready to fire at the monster. The rustling sound got louder, and it was close, so she aimed near the outskirts of the forest, ready to end the creature. She could see the monster, so she put her finger on the trigger, aimed at the creature's chest, the with all her anger, fired the arrow.
The arrow hit the creature in the shoulder, causing it to drop like a rock to the ground. Brittany and Eleanor tried to make out the creature, but it was too dark to tell. Miss Miller stepped out of the car, so Brittany and Eleanor followed behind, ready for what they were about to see. The closer they got, they realized the creature was still moving, and was groaning in pain, which was music to Miss Miller's ears. Miss Miller could see the creature now, bleeding to death. She dropped the crossbow onto the ground, and burst to tears, along with Brittany and Eleanor; Miss Miller had shot Jeanette.
Hope you enjoyed part one! Part two will be started, when I get the time, which could take awhile. Sorry the story was so short, and only six chapters long, but there wasn't much to add. Leave reviews, follow, favorite, and hopefully you enjoyed part one! So, until next time, take care guys :)
