Epilogue

I knew I was dead. I could see nothing but blackness. I could feel nothing at all. I was numb. As sad as I was supposed to be, as horrible as death was supposed to feel, it was a relief. I finally could feel nothing of the pain that I had suffered from just seconds ago.

“Chantal!” I heard someone call. “Chantal, no, please stay with me!”

Was I not dead after all? I struggled to fight against the sea of blackness that threatened to drown me. I felt someone pick me up, sending a wave of pain through my body as I fought to regain consciousness. I slowly became intensely aware of someone’s cool arms wrapping around me, holding me carefully. I could feel myself slipping in and out of consciousness.

“Chantal!” I heard him call urgently again. “Chantal!”

My eyes finally fluttered open, and through my blurred sight I saw his worried face looking down at me; and, although every movement sent tearing pain rippling through my broken body, I reached out to touch his cold cheek.

I smiled as much as I could, “Cedric.”

“I’m so sorry,” he said.

“S’okay,” I mumbled, even that small movement hurting me and making my head spin.

He cradled me gently in his arms, “Do you trust me?”

“Yes,” I mouthed.

He pulled me to him, pressing his cold lips against mine. I felt him smile against my skin. I felt a sudden stab of betrayal. How could he even think about smiling in a situation like this? Then, all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pinch on my lower lip. I realized in surprise that he had bitten me. My heart raced as I searched for a reason why he would do such a thing. But it was too much; the pain, the emotions, all swirling around in my head all at once.

I vaguely registered more pricks all over my body, my wrists, the insides of my elbows, my neck. The stabs continued down my body and a dull burning sensation began to simmer in those places.

He held me to his chest and whispered, “Together forever.”

I smiled. I liked the sound of that. I nodded in agreement.

“Forever.”
