Divine Falls

Epilogue

I wake up in a good mood because I didn't have any nightmares last night. The first few days after leaving hell I was having them but it's been two weeks since our final showdown with Vane and his demon army. I finally feel like no one is breathing down my neck wanting to control me. I control me and that's all that matters.

Once it was over I stayed at Pierce's cabin where I'm still helping him with his brother. Ash took a big claw gouge to the stomach and we all didn't think he make it but he pushed through. 

Even Vee sometimes calls me asking if he's okay before she asks about anything else. She asks so much that last time I made a joke asking if Levi has any competition but she always says she is a one man woman.

I get out of bed and stretch out and then go to the bathroom to freshen up for the day. It's a bunch of things I have to handle today. My mom, who really isn't my mom, she's my aunt, knows that I'm here. She barely knew much about Celeste's, only that her sister was in love with one and had me.

This world is new to her so I tried to explain as much as I could without overwhelming her too bad. She took it better than I thought. I haven't actually been by to see my birth mother after I met her for the first time. She hasn't seen aunt Jacey in awhile either but has been in contact with her when it pertains to me. I guess I don't know how to feel yet with her. It's a working process.

I step out of the bathroom and see Pierce sitting on the bed looking all stressed. He has his head in his hands looking like he wants to blow something up. I smile and jump onto the bed, kneeling behind him to wrap my arms around his shoulders. I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey today is supposed to be a good day so what's up with the frown?" I ask him.

He kisses the top of my hand, sending fire in my veins. "I know little angel. It's been a long two weeks making sure my brother is okay and it's all thanks to Vee's mom really. She didn't have to help him after everything he did."

He's right about that. Mrs. Garrett is skilled in nursing Celeste's and she was the best person to get the job done. After lots of begging and tears she decided to help and Ash and Pierce were very thankful. "I'm happy he's going to be fine. I hate seeing you like this."

Pierce stands up and turns to me to pick me up and I instantly wrap my legs around him. He sits back down with me on top. He's amber eyes shine into mine. He can be so memorizing.

"And I hate what my brother did to yours so yes today is a big day for us." He smirks and then brings his lips to mine, kissing me slow and deep. Fuck I love that he's all for me and all about me. We are all about each other and it feels so damn good. I'm the luckiest girl.

Abruptly Pierce stops kissing me. Aww it's over already, I want to keep going. I open my eyes to pout but he's staring at me not blinking or talking. No wait, he's staring past me.

 I wave my hands in his face and he doesn't move at all. Not even a flinch. I think he's frozen. What the fuck just happened? His whole body is frozen. Right when I think it's over the clouds are rolling in to make me eat my words.

"Seraphina Hayliel Aster." A sound of a high pitch but beautiful voices says around me. I quickly stand ready to take on whatever is coming. Then a beam of light shimmers through the window and five transparent figures with long white robes show up in it. They look like ghosts.

"Seraphina. We are the collective and we are here to have a word about your future." They all speak at once. And just like that a new adventure is waiting for us. It might be even rougher than the first one. This is about to be scary and what I'm really thinking is aw shit my days as a celeste haven't even begun....
