Perfect.
That's how everyone's lives had been for a long time.
People were celebrating Halloween as many teenagers were admiring the five teenagers for their fantastic Shadow Hunter looks and dresses.
They looked almost exactly like the characters from Shadow Hunters.
The five teenagers looked proud of themselves and their happiness and excitement had no limit.
Children and teenagers went trick-and-treating with their friends and finally joined their parents and other family members at the party hall.
Esmeralda and her friends screamed in excitement when they got numerous big and delicious candies and chocolates.
The townspeople lived in peace and so did the Immortals and especially the Dark Pearl.
Insomnia and anxiety had finally left them for good and they could finally live a happy and carefree life, able to give their friends and family and most importantly themselves more time.
Life at school and the workplace was going really well for everyone.
Raiden had finally decided to become a Doctor, Phoenix decided to practice law, Brooke decided to become an Economist, Andres decided to get into the Police Force, while Esmeralda like her talent spoke for her, had always dreamt of becoming a singer.
Esmeralda finally overcame her stage fright with the help of her vocal coaches, her friends and family.
She did her first performance in front of the entire town, wearing a beautiful, short red dress, black mid-thigh heel boots and a diamond bracelet and ring.
She did three more performances, two at special events, and one at her school annual function. Her YouTube videos got billions of likes and views along with one million subscribers.
Esmeralda even won a competition.
Her mother's chest had swollen with pride, her father and Andres had broken into tears, Brooke and Phoenix were busy cheering and clapping loudly for her, their cheers and claps surprisingly drowning many other people's cheers, while Raiden filmed her entire performance.
There were even a couple of hoardings in their town, congratulating Esmeralda for winning the competition.
The Arquettes even hosted a party for her achievement.
Raiden finally got the courage to ask his crush, Amber out, who turned out to be a lesbian, much to his disappointment.
Even Max now lived a normal life and began dating one of the bakers at Estella's bakery, Miranda.
While all this happened there was still a matter to be solved; one that was bothering Estella a lot. The future of the Dark Pearl was a bit unsure; until five days ago.
And that was before Esmeralda finally spoke up her mind. She wanted Dark Pearl to be the way it was, like a family, minus the whole 'being villains' part, which wasn't there.
But they sometimes wondered what they would do now. Leopold was defeated, now who would they work for? Who would they make the deadliest weapons for and for what reason now?
Esmeralda's idea was supported by everyone when she put it forward. They had become a family and didn't wanna leave each other.
But how they could stay the same was still a major question at that time.
They had initially decided that Estella would discuss this matter with Aldric and that is exactly what happened.
While the husband-wife had their discussion, Esmeralda was bombarded with questions from the trio about Leopold's identity.
