Forever and Always

Chapter 29: Forever and Always

Brisinger's POV.

No, this can't be happening. Not her, anyone but her. She was my only friend, the only thing that kept me going. She was like a sister to me. I watched the two little boys grasping at their now limp mother. Looking for attention. Looking for her eyes to open. Listening for a voice they will never hear again. It was too much. Too much pain, too much lose. I exploded. Fire poured from every pore, burning the forest surrounding us, but not damaging anything the 5 of us. Boiling hot tears burned scars into my cheeks. The world blurred around me, I could hear the raging of the flames, adding strength back into me. One of the twins started to cry and I felt the fire leave my veins. Looking at him, with his bright blue eyes, tiny rust red ears, and white speckled tail, it gave me a reason to smile.

"She's...." a hiccup sounded behind me and I turned around. Jake was crying. Clear streaks ran down his face, even in the heat of the fire.

"Gone," picking up the crying child, I went over to him, "here, try calming him, it'll help," the look in his eyes when he saw that little boy was priceless. A peaceful calm that washed over his features as he caressed his small head. It sparked a feeling in me that I didn't know what possible for anyone but Kitty.

Going over to my fallen friend, I picked up the other child. His small hands reached out for his mother as I pulled him away and he cried. We all cried. We cried and cried, and the sky cried with us. She was like a sister to both me and Jake, and we cried into each other's arms with the babies cradles between us, for our beloved family, the only family we knew.

After a while, we both knew we had to get going. Kyle, if he survived, wouldn't wait long to start hunting us down again, so, handing me the other little one, Jake wrapped Kitty in the blankets and carried her. I took the blankets I had an wrapped them around the children and we went on our way, to find a soon to be broken Mate.

##############################################################################

It's a good thing that Kitty always talked about her home, otherwise we would have never found it. Going to the door, I rang the doorbell. A ragged, sleep deprived man opened the door, seeming to not care who was actually there at this point.

"Are you Devin?" I asked slowly.

"Yes," his voice was hoarse, it made me think that he had spent a long while crying.

"We have some things to tell you," after he let us into the house, I unwrapped the babies slightly and explained to him that these were his children. Gingerly taking them into his arms tears pricked in his eyes.

"Where's Kitty?" setting the lifeless body on the couch, we started to explain. We told the poor broken boy everything. His cries of sorrow and the devastated look that passed over his features was heart breaking. Although, no matter how hard it got, or how hard he cried, he never let go of those boys. When I finally got to the point of the passing of his Mate, he looked over at the bundle on the couch and dropped to his knees in defeat. "My sweet, my princess, why did you have to leave me?...." and he broke into a cry that could tear someone's sanity, a cry of the truly heartbroken. He cradles the twins to his chest like to very small, very fragile, lifelines. I told his the names when he asked and he seemed to find some amusement in them, why? I do not know.

Once the tears cleared out of his eyes long enough for him to see, I handed him a sheet of paper. It was hard for him to hold with the children in his arms, but he managed. The paper was a note that Kitty had asked me to give him if anything happened to her. So I did. And it read:

Dear Devin, My one, My only,

If you are reading this, then I am no longer present on this earth. I know you must be devastated, and I wouldn't blame you if you were angry with me, but know that I did not do this to hurt you. I wanted, want, you to live, always. Please, do not destroy yourself because of my departure. I thought this is what needed to be done to make sure that you could live on. I know know that I was wrong. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I'm not scared, because I am. I'm terrified. But, our baby needs you. This baby needs a father and if I can't be there to be the mother, then he needs you even more. I'm so sorry. I'm so so very sorry. I didn't mean for this all to happen like this. I just wanted to keep you safe. I didn't realize what I was doing. Please, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, please do. If not, I understand. I love you, even in death, I will love you forever and always.

A.N.

That is the end of this book. I'm sad to see it go, but it had to end at some point right? Comment what you think and if you have any suggestions on how I could improve that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for keeping with this and reading it. I hoped you liked reading it as much as I liked writing it.
