(Epilogue)

Finally, as they boarded the boat, Seiya handed Sienna a bottle of water, as he sat down next to her. The silence between them was heavy, as they both seemed lost in their own thoughts. Sienna couldn't help but feel greatful toward him. From the beginning, even though he didn't want to protect her, he'd still managed to do just that. Protect her in a way no one had ever before. He had been her protector, not only that but someone close enough to be considered a friend...or something stronger...Most importantly, he had never let her down, and she knew he never would. As they sailed towards the island, Sienna couldn't help but wonder what would happen to them next. She knew that their enemies would not give up so easily. That much was true with Vander Scar. There would always be enemies. Some even stronger than him. However they wouldn't give up so easily. So neither would they. Lacing her fingers through his, she finally found herself saying for the second time.

''I love you.''
