Can you save a frozen heart?

. 12. Epilogue

(five months after Cuba)

"Erik what are you doing?" I say giggling. I am blindfolded being led through the halls of our new apartment.

"You'll see in a couple seconds, be careful because there's a step coming up Mercy." He holds my hand trying to guide me. Which is not an easy job. "I told you to be careful" as I tripped over the step.

"I'm fine I always triple for that stupid stuff you want I'm not." I sure him.

"Okay sit down on the couch right there." He takes my hands and sitting on the couch. "Don't take off your blindfold." And he leaves the room.

"Okay now you can take off the blindfold" he says helping me with it. The first thing I see is the sweetest little German Shepherd puppy. "Oh, He is so precious, how did you find him?" The German Shepherd puppy hops in to my lap. That is when I seen a note.

It reads

Dear Mercy,
My name is Slappy, yes Erik did name me, he found me in an alleyway. He wrapped me in his jacket and took me home. Home to you. He nursed back to health and now I am a happy little puppy. Erik had a very important question for you. But I can't tell you what it is.
Your dog,
Slappy

I look at Erik, Who is down on one knee with a ring.

"Mercy, Will you marry..."

"Yes, yes, 1 billion times yes"

"I didn't finish my sentence yet. But I think you got the point" he slips the ring on my finger, and I kiss him.

(three weeks later)

Well I was looking for that perfect dress with Erik for wedding my Head Started pound.

That is when I see her. We make eye contact for one simple secondthen our worlds start getting blurry and everything is painful.

"MERCY, MERCY!!" Erik is screaming trying to get my attention. My hair starts turning white. White as snow. The stranger who is having the same thing happened to her but her hair was turning red. Red like fire.

"Help her." I was able to whisper before my world went black.

(One day later)

I wake up to three familiar voices and a lump of fur and I lap.

"She's coming to" Hank said as he looked at Erik.

I start putting Slappy on the head.

"Where am I?" I ask

"Back at the mansion, Charles want to make sure you two are okay" Erik said worriedly.

"What?" I asked very confused do you say two?

"Yes mercy I did see two, you have a sister, a twin sister. You to share a telepathic bond with each other." Charles said.

I looked to the side of me. To see the woman next to me.

"Her name is Echo" Charles finished.

"Ich liebe dich" Erik said knowing us probably freaking out at this moment. And boy was he right. I have never had a sister. Or if ever wanted one. I'm so used to being alone. Or with Erik.

"Echo" The name bounces around my mind.

(Ok I had a friend that wanted to be in the story. He begged and begged and begged to be in it. So I made him the dog Slappy. please comment,votes, and follow. I don't bite... Much😋)
