Year 8
September 10th
Dear Wally
Blair almost got kicked out of school today. I think almost getting kicked out of school on your first day of the new school year must be some kind of a record. If you were here you'd probably be congratulating her, a boy in the upper school knocked over her friend Lacy and was being mean to her, and you know what she did? She knocked him flat on his ass, a guy at least twice her size, I was secretly proud and outwardly embarrassed. So she's the youngest person to ever get punishment duties, our little juvenile delinquent. God, she's a menace, she jumps of stupid things, she shoots people with nerf guns, sneaks into the falcon training sessions, and she's obsessed with being a falcon. She's essentially a mini you, stubborn, helpful, talks to anyone, always ready to help someone, she gets that same mischievous glint in her eyes when she's up to something.
She loves heights, she sits up in the higher branches of the apple trees shooting the odd passerby when she feels like it, she drags her friends into trouble constantly, Alaric, Kent, Lacy and occasionally Nik. If this is her as a 7 year old I'm dreading the teenage years.
Damn you Wallace.

She shot the queen with a water balloon. For Christ's sake. She said she was aiming for Alaric the future king of the country, who aims to hit the future king of a country with a water balloon, it gets worse because the queen is pregnant again and our genius daughter hit her with a balloon filled with water. I don't think I dropped her or did anything wrong when she was younger, I think it's just bad genetics. Yeah, I'll blame genetics I mean what kid wouldn't be hyperactive if she's related to one of the ex-fastest people in the world and master assassins, a complete mess. If she goes jail when she's older I'm blaming you for not being here to straighten her out, because let's face it I let her get away with far too much.
I think she's baking in the kitchen, better go stop her from burning the place down.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
My mom's doing better, Zee stopped by today to tell me that, J told L who told R wo told D who told Zee, that she's doing much better and she's in remission. I smiled when I heard that, then I had to drag Blair down from a tree because it was raining pretty heavily and I didn't want her to catch a cold, she's a nightmare when she's sick, she's pure evil.
That was a battle I didn't win. In the end I shot her with her own nerf gun rapidly, it made her lose her balance and she fell out of the tree, very gracefully and with a lot of style I might add, so she doesn't get that from you. She grabbed a branch before the bottom and did a full spin around it. If she doesn't make it as a falcon, which I do not approve of, she could always join the circus.
Blair doesn't ever see Zee anymore, she'd ask too many questions that I don't want to answer about home, America and you. It's not lying if I tell her nothing, I don't really think it's very good for an 11 year old to know that her family in America are either assassins, superheroes or normal people who know about superheroes and help keep their identity secret.
Damn you Wallace.
Year 15
October 31st
Happy Halloween!
Blair's going to a Halloween party tonight, it's one of Nik's friends but according to her even if she wasn't Nik's friend she would've been invited, I'm staying home and probably grading the latest copious amounts of essays seeing as its coursework season for every one of my classes. I think I'm going to be buried alive and on my gravestone it shall read 'buried by an avalanche of essays.'
She's been sneaking out of the house a lot, I think she may have a boyfriend. she thinks she's being sneaky, she climbs out her window and jumps off the roof, its kinda cute, she thinks she's getting away with it, I trust her she's not stupid, she makes good decisions (no idea where she gets that from, I mean she has me and you as parents).
She's still kept her crazy reckless streak, she's fourteen, she can drink, drive(not at the same time) she makes decisions that affect her future daily, sometimes I wish we lived in America things are much slower they don't have as much pressure on them. God, I never thought I'd actually say this but, I actually miss America I haven't been home in 7 years and I haven't seen Zee in nearly 2 years, sure we talk on the phone but it's not the same.
Damn you Wallace
November 5th
Dear Wally
I miss you. I don't know why but lately I've been thinking about you a lot. Maybe it's the fact that Blair's more independent and not at home as much now? I don't know maybe it's because she has a better love life than me, I don't know but I know I'm missing home, and my friends who I haven't seen in years, Gotham academy's having a reunion, how weird? It's like a 15 year thing. Maybe that's what's made me so nostalgic? I just miss my old life, yes it was crazy and hectic and dangerous, but at least it was never dull enough that I resorted to baking food, God, I'm so bored and I don't know why you're crossing my brain so often, all I know is I miss you.
Damn you Wallace.

Dear Wally
Happy Christmas!
I think I need to stop writing, I've filled 16 books with my letters to you, I should let go, this has become a habit, a bad habit, I'm clinging to who I used to be and I can't do that. I shouldn't do that, I was only meant to do this until I got over you, and that will still be never, I'll love you forever and I know that but I can't keep pretending that you're still here.
Damn you Wallace.
I love you, Goodbye.
So my lovelies this was the last chapter, sorry it was late I was at my grandparents and didn't get much time to write. I was literally crying when I wrote the end, but don't worry there will be an epilogue that leads to the sequel which will start in 2 or 3 weeks. I want to have a bit of a break and try to write a few chapters ahead. Sorry for ending this with so many time skips, I just felt like the ending was near and I didn't really feel like I had much more of Blair's life that Artemis could be aware of, they've started to grow apart when she was fourteen, so is Blair up to something? Read the sequel when it's up to find out and for the penultimate time, I own none of the character's for this book except Blair, Alaric, Lacy, Kent and Nik. Alright lovelies, I have to go now, I love you guys, thank you to anyone who has reviewed, favourited or followed my book, you don't understand how much your support makes me smile and it is so so uplifting when you've had a crappy day to see someone actually likes what I do on here. I love you all xoxox
