World Without End | Sitkolson [C]

THIRTY-FIVE

After hours of thanking the remaining creatures, and burying the fallen light ones, the twelve friends were the last that remained.

They were each confused on whether they would go separate ways or not, because they were like a family, but not every family can spend the rest of their lives together.

"So..." Vinny mumbled, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Where do we go from here?"

Ricky sighed, "I say... We go wherever we want."

Angelo nodded, "We've been together since the start, eventually we need to live our lives," Turning to Kuza and Ghost, he gave them a small smile, "I don't know you two all too well, but I can tell you're good people. Thank you, for everything."

Kuza gave him a simple head nod, "Anytime."

Lynn snorted, biting her lip to hold back a laugh, "Again, sorry about trying to kill you guys."

The vampires shrugged, waving it off.

Chris pursed his lips, "So are we really going separate ways...?"

Ryan nodded, wrapping an arm around Ricky's waist and pulling him closer, "All great things have to come to an end. Eventually, we have to do what we want in our lives. We've taken care of Ronnie and Michael, what other reason do we have to stay together?"

Alex and Brian, being awfully quiet about the situation, agreed.

"We're hunters no matter what, so we'll eventually run into you guys." Alex chuckled.

Ghost gave everyone a small smile before taking a step back, pulling Kuza with him, "It was a pleasure meeting you all, and seeing you again, Ryan."

Ryan lifted his hand to give him a small wave, "Good luck."

The two smirked before disappearing, Josh and Ryan Ashley being the next to step back.

Josh nodded his head at each of them, stopping at Ryan, "I'm glad you found your way back to Ricky."

Ryan Ashley grabbed Josh's hand and held it in her own, "I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope to see you all in the future."

The two then disappeared.

The hunters were cautious of leaving, because they had spent so many years with Angelo, Chris and Ricky, that it felt wrong to even think of travelling without them. But, all of them were right; they needed to split eventually. Though they hand known Ryan much, they were still able to see him as family.

Lynn inched closer to Vinny and held his hand, "You ready?"

He blushed and nodded, "Thanks, guys."

"Wait, wait, wait," Ryan held a hand up, "You guys are hunters, how're you getting out of here?"

Lynn held a small bottle up, smirking, "Courtesy of Josh and Ryan Ashley."

With a final good bye, each hunter swallowed the purple liquid, vanishing seconds after.

Finally, it was down to the four vampires that started everything.

Angelo, being closer to Ryan than Chris, was having a hard time trying to leave. Just as Chris was with Ricky.

Angelo and Ryan had been together for over six hundred years. They were brothers, but didn't want to leave each other. Angelo had Chris, and Ryan had Ricky, but it was still tough.

Ricky had been friends with Chris since he was a kid, so of course he was going to be emotional when the time finally came where they had to split up. Chris had spent almost every night in Ricky's room, because Ricky hated how Chris was treated. It was only right he give his brother a good place to sleep.

Whilst Angelo hugged Ryan, and Ricky hugged Chris, they exchanged small words.

There was one thing stronger than their brotherhood, and that was the love they held for one another. It was hard to walk away, but it needed to be done.

Ryan and Chris shook hands, both not exactly wanting to hug each other.

Angelo and Ricky rolled their eyes before pushing their boyfriend into the other, making them hug.

Chris lowered his voice, though Ricky still heard him, "You hurt him, you're dead."

Ryan nodded, "I wouldn't think of it. Same goes for you though, you break his heart, I'll tear yours apart."

The two pulled back, both giving each other that look. It was a half smirk, half glare, but still held that brotherly love.

They gave each other a small head nod, Ryan and Ricky watching as Angelo and Chris quickly ran away.

The couple didn't know where exactly they were going to go, but Chris had a few ideas in his mind. Some that would definitely make Angelo happy.

Ryan let out a long sigh of relief and turned to Ricky, "So... Have any ideas in mind?"

He shook his head and draped his arms around Ryan's shoulders, "Wherever you go, I will."

"Does that mean living in-"

"You say anywhere outside of Scranton," Ricky warned, cutting him off, "I will shoot you."

Ryan smiled, "Ohh, damn. I really wanted to take you to Santa."

He shook his head, chuckling, "You're such an idiot, you know that?"

Leaning down, Ryan pecked Ricky's lips, "I know. But, you love it, so you can't complain."

"That's true." Ricky mumbled, leaning forward and resting his head on Ryan's chest.

It amazed him how far he and Ryan had come. They started off as strangers, then Ryan was Ricky's protector. Ricky did hate Ryan for a few weeks, especially after finding out what Ryan was, but it wasn't like he could feel that way forever. The age difference may've made Ricky look at Ryan differently, but he eventually let go of it after the whole 'age is just a number' thing came along.

"You're so old." Ricky whispered, smiling.

"I know," Ryan chuckled, "I'm surprised you haven't found someone you like better that's three hundred something, not almost nine hundred."

Ricky shook his head and looked up, "No one will ever be better than you, Ryan. So shut up and take me home."

"What home?" Ryan asked, quirking an eyebrow, "Incase you forgot, we haven't had a place to call home in almost four hundred years."

"Then we'll make one."
