Ethan's POV
I hugged my wife and passionately kissed. The moment before we killed Jesse I thought I was going to loose my wife forever.
"It's finally over," she said.
"I know, Sarah. God, I thought I lost you again."
"I'm here. I'm never leaving."
We let go of each other and realized something.
"The others!" said Sarah.
We ran to where the fight was last seen.
All of our friends were there. Benny, Erica, Rory, Luis, Maria, Chris, Steven, Jia Li, Sebastian, Christina, and the rest of them were still there. None of them were injured or harmed in any way.
"It's over," said Benny.
Everybody gazed towards us. I wasn't sure if they were looking at us. Sarah and I turned back and saw them.
"Is that who the hell I think it is?" I asked.
"Oh yeah," answered Sarah.
It was the Vampire Council. Not the same one. The others were destroyed by the Lucrifractor. They were older vampires, who were to replace them if anything had happened.
The leaders were first. The official leader, Leonardo was serious and stubborn. He had long black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, dark gold eyes, which showed that he was the oldest, and looked like he was in his thirties.
Then, there was his sister, Cordelia, the witch. She was at five foot two and had an elegant figure. Cordelia mostly has her black hair up in a bun, wears black dresses, gothic jewelry, dark makeup, and had long, black-coate fingernails, which reminded me of Freddy Krueger. Her personality was gentle, calm, child-like, and mostly insanity.
A six foot tall man who was holding hands with Cordelia was her husband, Barnabas. His black hair wasn't long like Leonardo and he had a stubble. He had the most creepiest eyes I've ever seen. They were gold like a vampire, but he had big, bug eyes that never blink. Barnabas was mostly sarcastic, serious, determined, and was extremely overprotective of Cordelia. Barnabas, who was changed in his forties, looked more like an uncle to Cordelia, since she was changed by Leonardo at nineteen. Cordelia and Barnabas have been together for 3,000 years. To this day, they still loved each other as if it was the first day of their eternal love.
The fourth one was Demetri. Everybody dislikes him the most. He was in his twenties, had long, pale blonde hair, and stood at five foot seven. Demetri was snarky, aggressive, and very violent. Even looking at him, you just feel like he wants to kill you.
As all of them marched to us, I spotted some of the guards with them.
They was Alexander, who had the ability to track any mind in the world. He had shaggy brown hair and stood at seven feet. To Sarah, she has to look up at him.
Also, there was Gabriel. The guy with a built body and dirty blonde hair. He didn't have a special ability, but he is the best fighter in the vampire world. Challenging him to a fight would be sudicial.
Last but not least was the Witch siblings. I would either address them as Children of the Corn or Chrildren of Satin. All of them were incredibly dangerous. The oldest was Caleb, who was tall, lanky, and had light brown hair. His ability was to create a black mist that blocks out all of the senses of his opponent. Next was Caroline. She had chin-length brown hair, was tall and leaned, and possibly a little taller than Caleb. Her ability was to break or form bonds between others, although she is unable to break the bonds of true love and family. The little one was Claudia. Her angelic face that was as fresh as a raindrop was framed with her fuzzy, golden curls. Her ability is to cause a pain illusion to the ones she sees.
"What do they want?" asked Sarah.
"To talk." I answered.
When they stopped, Cordelia was the first to talk.
"My, my, my! Isn't this a lovely day?" She shrieked in joy. After three thousand years, you start to go a little crazy.
"Have all of them been executed?" asked Leonardo.
"Yes, Leonardo," answered Erica. "All of them were completely destroyed."
"Who was the leader?" asked Demetri.
"His name was Jesse," answered Sarah. "He was trying to destroy us, but he's dead now."
Cordelia then caught the glimpse of me behind Sarah. Her eyes lit up and her jaw dropped. The thoughts of their minds were all over my head.
Ethan Morgan, the seer, thought Demetri. He is a vampire now?
I always knew he would become one of us, thought Barnabas.
Ethan! Ethan! Ethan! thought Cordelia.
"Ethan," breathed Cordelia. She smiled at me and held her hand at. "Come forward, dear."
I stepped away from Sarah and walked towards Cordelia. As I stopped, Cordelia let out a high-pitched, creepy giggle. It made my eyebrow rose up.
"Leonardo, dearest brother, do you see what I am seeing," she asked her brother.
"I do indeed, sister," he said.
"It seems that the seer is now immortal," said Barnabas.
"Not just that!" gasped Cordelia. "He's like us, but…it's just taking my breath away. Those eyes, that skin complexion, his immortal beautiness—everything suits him so well and fits him perfectly." She looks back at me. "Ethan Morgan, immortality is not just what you possess. You are immortality."
I was flattered by her comment. Everyone says that I was meant to be a vampire.
"Thank you, Cordelia," I said.
"I would be even more flabbergasted if he was gifted," said Barnabas.
"Actually…" I said. "I still didn't possess my seer ability and read thoughts."
"Fascinating!" gasped Cordelia. "So powerful, so handsome, so amazing. He could be more powerful than our own guards!"
I glared at Claudia, who smiling like a little demon.
More powerful than her own guards, her thoughts said. I would just love to cause him or his wife a few seconds of unbearable pain right now.
"Cordelia," I said, "will you please tell Claudia to not toture me or my wife?"
Barnabas's head snaps back at Claudia. "Claudia!"
Claudia stopped grinning and stepped back close to Caleb and Caroline.
How dare she tried to toture me and Sarah? Claudia was like twelve years-old and she has the mind of a murderer.
"Claudia, how many times do I have to tell you?! You will only use your powers when I say to!" Caroline gently stroke the strands of curls of her little sister's hair. "Do not forget who you are working for. I can have your own brother and sister turn against you. Understand?"
"Yes, Master," she quietly said.
"It won't happen again, master," said Caroline. "I promise."
"Dear Caroline, make the promises that you know you won't be able to break," said Demetri.
I would loved to those Children of the Corn a taste of their own medicine, said Chris's thoughts.
I heard Caleb whisper to Claudia, "Don't ever scare us like that, Claudia. We could've lost you." He kissed his little sister's forehead.
"Young Ethan, you are indeed powerful for a vampire," said Leonardo. "We would like to offer you a position as one of our top bodyguards."
I couldn't believe the Vampire Council asked me to be a guard. This moment was break taking.
"I-I apologize," I said to them, "It's not that I can't or that I won't. I don't want to. I'm already the leader of my own family."
"Very well then, my son," said Leonardo.
"My love, my brothers, my children," said Cordelia, "let us travel back to Venice. I want to go to home now."
They turned around and started walking back.
Once they left, we all cheered. The Mexicans howled like wolves up to the sky. Boris kicked the grass and Natasha spit in the ground. Steven embraced both Juliet and Shanelle into his arms. Erica and Rory passionately kissed, so did Christina and Sebastian. Sonya and Nahuel were locked in each other's arms, as well as Olivia and Amanda. Chris happily picked up Tanya into his arms and kissed her.
I yanked Sarah towards me and crushed her against my chest.
"I love you," I said.
"Forever and always." She said.
After the Council left, the night had begun. We all celebrated.
When midnight came, the Europeans were the first to leave. After them was the Russians. Boris and Natasha admitted that it wasn't much of a fight. They were very disappointed."
Then, I learned about Nate's death.
"Steven, Chris, I'm so sorry," I said.
"It's okay," said Chris. "Beforehand died, he actually sided with us. At least we got him back."
Chris and Yvette were now mates. The two brothers joined the French coven. Steven was excited about going to France and hoping to find a mate over there.
Everybody else left in peace.
Sarah and I hopped onto the bed in our room.
"Finally over," sighed Sarah.
"Did you think we were actually going to die?" I asked.
"I had a little faith."
"We're still alive. I mean not alive nor dead. Undead is the word. We are undead."
"That moment when Jesse had you by the head, it scared to death. I thought you were gonna be gone forever."
"No. I'm still here." Sarah slowly and comfortably laid on my chest.
"Read my thoughts." She whispered.
I took a good glimpse into her mind.
Everything that reminded me of Sarah and I—the day we met, when we fought those vampires at the Dusk premiere, the time she saved me when I was bitten by Jesse, the day Sarah returned, our first date, the Lucrifractor explosion—went through her mind.
Our wedding, our honeymoon, our battles were all in her mind. As I saw it, I listen to my Sarah quietly sing A Thousand Years in her mind.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more
Reality came back to me. I gently kissed Sarah. As I kissed her, I whispered, "What else could I do to thank you for this life?"
"I already have everything."
"There has to be something you don't have. Something you always wanted."
"Ethan, what could you possibly give me that I don't already have?" She smiled.
Suddenly, the idea popped into my head. Sarah had dreamt of this her whole life. I might be able to give that to her.
I caressed her forehead. "A child."
