Chapter 10
Endings are Hard
"Wake up, Rebecca," Eric whispered as he held her body in his arms, "I need you."
Eric sat by Rebecca's bed holding her hand in their old house.
She still hasn't woken up from facing Marnie. It has been a few days.
Eric can hear her faint heartbeat.
He refuses to leave her bedside in home that she might wake up. During the day, Sookie sits with her.
Sookie felt that she owed Rebecca for saving her life.
And she did.
"Eric, I think its time to let her go."
"Pam, get out," he warned.
"This isn't what she would have wanted," she said.
Eric pushed Pam up against the far wall.
"What am I supposed to do?" he asked broken.
"I don't know, if your blood worked it would have either healed her or turned her into one of us. It was none nothing. Something is keeping her here," Pam said and whispered the last part, "And its you."
"What would you have me do?" Eric asked.
"Let her go, Eric. Humans die, its part of their nature. She needs to find peace. She deserves that much," she said.
He looked sadly back at Rebecca in the bed.
"I don't know if I can," he whispered.
Pam walked around Eric and over to Rebecca. She sat down on the bed beside her. She cupped her face.
"You had a great run, kid. I short one but I think Eric and I made it worth while," she leaned down and kissed Rebecca's cheek. Pam started to cry blood tears, "Look what you made me do," she whipped them.
Eric touched Pam's shoulder and she left the room.
Eric sat down in the spot Pam was at.
"I don't know where to start," an image popped in his head. It was the night Godric met the sun, "I'm sorry for what I did to you. There is no excuse to what I did. I used you body and soul. You have no right to forgive me but you did," he stopped a moment to put his hand over her heart, "I'm sorry for all the times I used to help Sookie. I should have been using that time helping you. I think you are my one and I'm sorry it took me so damn long to realize that. I spent so much time pushing you away. Time I wish I could get back," he looked up at her face and leaned closer to kiss her lips, "That night we made love for the first time…it wasn't a mistake," he started to cry blood tears, "I wish I never said that. It was the greatest moment of my immortal life. I will cherish that gift you gave me forever. I knew what you felt for me because I felt the same for you…Rebecca, I love you."
He leaned down to kiss her lips again.
He still had his hand over her heart.
"Rebecca, you can let go. It's okay."
He could feel what little heartbeat she had left slowly fade away.
Until it stopped altogether.
Eric held Rebecca's lifeless body in his arms as he cried for the loss of the love of his life.

Rebecca woke up in a warm bright place. There were valleys and trees everywhere. It was very beautiful.
"Where am I?" she asked herself.
"I think its heaven," someone said from behind her.
She turned and found Godric standing there.
"Godric?"
She went over to hug him.
"This is heaven?" she asked.
"Why not? I haven't found the pits of Hell yet," he said.
She laughed.
"Come," he said holding out his hand to her.
She looked behind her longingly.
"He'll come one day," Godric said.
"I hope not too soon."
A/N: Thank you for reading my story, Witch. It was a quick idea I had months ago and I made it into a reality, fanfic reality. I'm happy that so many liked my story. I'm sorry it was so short and didn't end the way most of you would have liked it to. Close to the end I wanted it to end it differently but this was the ending I planned for. If anyone noticed, I used a lot of popular quotes from my favorite TV shows of all time. Like the title of this chapter, Ending are Hard, it's from Supernatural. I thought it said it all for the ending of Rebecca's story. Thank you all for reading and please review and let me know what your thoughts are.
