Last Shot (Jacob Black) [3] COMPLETE

40. The End of an Era

~Jazmine~

I smile as I stand at the front of the classroom for the last time. All of the students from all my classes gathered in the room.

"So, I was surprised with all of your scores. You all made major improvement with your knowledge of Gevudan. But as today is my last day, and this is last you're going to see or hear of me, I have one last thing for you to know about Marie Jeanne, Sebastian, Marcello and the others." I walk over to the chalkboard and erase my name. "Now, I know you have seen the pictures of Marie, you've heard the stories, you know almost all about her. For the past several weeks I have been with you, I have been hiding one thing from each and every one of you." I turn and write, Ms. Argent, on the board then turn to the class. "My name is one of them. My age is another, some of you are older than me honestly, but the biggest secret I've been keeping, is who I really am. My appearance." I pull of the wig and let my eyes glow. They all gape at me. "Now, before you start jumping to conclusions, no I am not Marie Jeanne, my name is Jazmine Argent and I live my another code. Nous protégeons cuex qui ne peuvent pas se protéger eux-mêmes, we protect those who cannot protect themselves." I switch my eyes back. "Now, I chose this particular subject for a reason. Ever heard, "he who fails to learn his past is doomed to repeat it."? Well, I figured that you should know what really happened so maybe it won't happen again. For centuries no one knew of the true tale of le bête except for my family, now you know." I smile. "It's been an honor teaching all of you, I hope you all remember what you've learned, and farewell." I grab the wig from the desk and my bag before walking out of the room and proceeding to my Impala outside. I get in and start it up. They all stand on the steps of the school and I smile before driving away.

I wash off all of the makeup and change into normal clothes. I take all of Selene's belongings and throw them in the fire pit before setting them ablaze. I watch as the flames climb high into the night sky. I take the book of Marie Jeanne and throw it in onto the fire.

"Au revoir Marie Jeanne." I whisper as the flames turn green and the book burns down to ash.

Guys this is very short for a reason. I am going to wrap this whole thing up in the next 10 chapters. Watch the video, it has no dialogue but it shows the story of Marie Jeanne and the beast, ending with the ceremonial bullet.

Buckle up, this is going to be one wild ride for the End of an Era.

You Know Who I Am
