I forgot the title to the last chapter… so sorry!

A PERFECT ENDING

GEPOV

At the bottom Vendetta laid breathless. Lifeless. It's a state of mind, it lingered in her thoughts. State of mind.

Behind her ears her flesh moved away from her and made gills. Vendetta filled her lungs with water. She gagged at first but than got used to it. Her trance of thought swelled and she gained awareness. Vendetta shot upwards, as she did her body longated and scales replaced her skin. The water surface departed as she touched it.

By the shoreline everyone was fighting each other as Oracle smugly watched. Vendetta stalked to land, never loosing sight of Oracle.

As everyone was killing each other Oracle smirked in victory. Vendetta's body coiled and twisted as she slithered behind Oracle.

"Don't even try." Oracle said and turned to face her, "I could here your breathing."

Vendetta glared at her for a while. Oracle was tranced at the sight of Vendetta, she lost focus and Rife got free first and staggered to her with broken ribs. He held Tanith's sword to Oracle's throat. She broke her trance and Rife changed the direction of the sword and pointed it at himself.

"Well? The choice is yours." Oracle offered. Vendetta glanced at both, not knowing what to do.

"Kill her!" Rife shouted, "Now!" Vendetta twisted her body and swooped the sword away from Rife and raised it to Oracle, "Do it!". Oracle smiled.

"What are you going to do? Kill me?" Vendetta tossed the sword into the water, "It doesn't make a difference, you know."

Vendetta ignored her words. She was useless in this form, Vendetta's body contorted and squished back to normal.

"You're even weaker when human." Oracle beamed.

Vendetta didn't comment, she couldn't. Valkyrie broke free and whipped out her dagger and tossed it to Rife, who barely caught it. He held the knife to Oracle's throat and sliced her skin easily. She fell on her back and everyone peered down at her.

"Any last requests?" Rife offered.

She smiled, "Two". Vendetta tried to comment but couldn't, the only sound she made was a gagged cough. They ignored Vendetta, they didn't know. Oracle glanced at Rife and he stabbed Vendetta's side but she couldn't cry out. Their blood mixed and Fletcher quickly teleported everyone into Nye's room. Leaving Oracle to die alone.

Nureses gathered them and rolled Vendetta away. Rife, Skulduggery, Fletcher and Ghastly kept silent while Tanith and Valkyrie fell into a slight panic. It stayed like that until a doctor joined them.

"Vendetta will be fine." Valkyrie and Tanith sighed in relief, but the guys kept still, "You'll be able to see in five minutes." He smiled and left.

"Are you three alright?" Tanith asked, mainly Skulduggery, "I get the fact that you and Rife aren't exactly friends, but Ghastly, you had nothing to do with it." Ghastly sighed and twitched his head to Rife and Skulduggery, "Ah… uh, Fletcher, anything you want to say?"

He glanced at Valkyrie, "No, not really." Everyone kept silent until the doctor came by again.

"If you want to see her, you can." Valkyrie and Tanith rushed passed him before he could say something important and Rife slugged behind them. Valkyrie found Vendetta slipping on her coat.

"Hey, Vendetta." Valkyrie greeted. Vendetta turned and waved.

"How are you?" Tanith asked in the doorway, followed by Rife. She opened her mouth but no words got through, "Are you alright?" She asked again and walked towards her.

"She can't talk." Rife finally said, "Oracle took her voice." Vendetta gently smiled. She glanced at Valkyrie and Tanith who walked out, "So how are you, really?" Her smile weakend and she dropped her head, "I'm sorry for stabbing you earlier." He gave a little laugh to lighten to mood. She shrugged with a smile, "I'm sorry I was mad at you, I really didn't know." Vendetta's smiled dropped and she ran for a hug. She mouthed I'm sorry too.

Valkyrie knocked outside, "Can we come in?" Vendetta looked at Rife and nodded.

"Sure." He called back and their hug broke.

"Ooh, what did you two do in here?" Tanith asked.

"Nothing really." Rife replied and Vendetta slightly blushed.

"Vendetta, I found this for you." Valkyrie handed her a pen and paper. Vendetta wrote something done on the pad and showed it to Tanith, "What did she say?" Valkyrie asked.

Tanith smiled and gave a small giggle, "She said sorry about the sword." Vendetta smiled back and lost her smile, "Since you've been here you've been fired, disliked, hated, and had to do with each of our villians." Tanith lost her smile too, "And now you can't speak."

"Plus, like everyone else, we know your secret." Rife added.

Vendetta wrote on the pad and showed it to Rife. It read are you and Skulduggery ever going to be friends?, "No, I don't think so." He laughed, "And how did you know?"

Oracle told me, you shut him up… for once. Vendetta smiled and gave a silent laugh.

"You know what they say, right?" Valkyrie asked and they looked blankly at her, "Release your inner lunatic."

Quite literally. She smiled, wider this time.

I'm going to adress you, like this. Underlined, so you don't get me confused with with Vendetta's writing… it'll go back to normal once she gets it back. And she will, in Alisons suspiscions…

Holy crap, a happy ending to a small and successful season/case. I plan to focus my next season on Tanith and Rife's passed. Ooh, I cant spoil! But please keep me sending those villians and cases, OK? One more thing, as I said before, my new case will be a new story… love you guys! It's hard to let go of this story, even though it'll continue in a new story. This is my original, and I hope you guys (all around the world) know that your reveiws, comments and PM's makes this story better than before. Bye! For the last time in this story…
