Only Vampires Could Kidnap A Highly Trained Assassin

Chapter 30 - Epilogue

"Please Mother, just let me go and see him. He is not moving on and it has been six months now," I begged my mother.

"You knew the deal. You aren't allowed to go back down there, you are here for good now,"

"Its not like I want to live down there again. I just want to appear to him in a dream and tell him to get over it,"

"Fine, you can go for an hour tonight. But that is it, after this you are not allowed to 'look' after him or go down there ever again."

"Thank you mother," I looked down at Kaleb again. He hasn't done anything in the last six months. Victor had been doing all of the running of the Kingdom. Kaleb just stays in his room and eats when he is forced too.

That is going to change... I am sorry for what I had to do to you Kaleb, I just hope I can make it better now...

(Kaleb's POV)

"Master Kaleb you have to eat something," One of the many servants told me.

I grumbled under my breath but reluctantly got up from my bed and grabbed the bottle that she was holding. I took the cap off and quickly drank what was in there. It did make me feel better but it didn't get rid of the hole in my chest, I don't think anything could get rid of that now.

I have been miserable since the day that Mary died. It just keeps playing over and over in my mind. What if I made her leave, what if I didn't get distracted by the fight, what if... But I will never know. She is gone now and it is all my fault.

I laid back down on my bed and fell into a restless sleep.

(Mary's POV)

Finally he has fallen asleep again...

I quickly said the spell and popped into his dream. He was dreaming about the day that I died. Though his imagination was embellishing the truth a bit. It was clear from this that he blamed himself for my death.

"Kaleb," I shouted out.

Once he focused on me I was able to change the scene, we were now standing in the meadow where I first met my mother.

"Mary??" He said looking at me, "This has to be a dream."

"Yes it is a dream, but it is still me here talking to you,"

"But.... How??? Are you an... angel???"

"Something like that," I said with a slight chuckle, "I have been sent here to help you move on. Kaleb you have to forgive yourself for my death. It wasn't your fault, we all knew the risks of fighting in the war. I just got the worst of it."

"No, I should have made you leave.. I should have.."

"Kaleb there is nothing that you could have done. You tried to get me to leave but I wouldn't, there was nothing that you could have done different. You were the one that survived it, now you have to start acting like you survived it, not like you died there with me,"

"I can't... It hurts to much,"

"I know it hurts, but you have so much to look forward too. Remember me, the times that we shared. But you have to move forward. Your people need you. You were raised in this life, you know what you are doing and Victor need you, his big brother,"

"I have to know..."

"What? I am here to give you closure,"

"Would you have said yes if I asked you to marry me. If I was interrupted that night?"

This is why I was here, Lie or not I had to do everything I could to get him to move on. I didn't want to be responsible for ruining his life.

"Yes, I would have agreed to Marry you,"

"So that means that you Loved me?"

"How could you even doubt that? I am here now because I loved you and I hated seeing you in pain," Only then did I realize that it was true. I was in love with him, to bad I had to die to figure that out.

"Can I here you say it once,"

"I love you Kaleb Santiago," I whispered.

"I love you too," With that he pulled me in and kissed me with all of the passion we were feeling and for the first time it was real for me too. I didn't have to fake the passion that I was feeling.

"I have to go now, my time here is up. Just promise me that you will begin to move on. It is killing me more watching you like this. I want you to be happy again, be that man that I love again."

"I will try,"

"It's not that bad, there are lots of people that still love you and are also hurting because of how much pain you are in,"

"For you I will do anything. I am just glad we got this one more night,"

"So am I," I gave him one more fleeting kiss before I faded out of his dream.

"How are you my child,"

"I am fine Mother. Thank you for letting me do that. I think it was good for both of us."

With that we walked back towards our home, to my new life to never look back at what once was. I just hope everyone can move on now...
