Birthmarks

Epilogue

Third pov

It's been almost a year since Kailey and David died, and everything's finally beginning to go back to normal. Everyone's scars are finally starting to heal, the flashbacks aren't as constant, and they don't have near as many panic attacks. The seven heroes still fight for humanity, destroying the darkness and evil of the world. They look forward to sleep, where they were visited by Yukari and Kailey, who listen to their stories from the other's days. Their struggles, their hopes, and anything else they can think to tell them.

Many, many more years later

Max's pov

We stopped fighting years ago when a new group of heroes rose to take our place. Everyone else has passed away. Shelby was the first one, her age finally catching up to her. Her husband Scott soon followed, unable to bear life without her. Next was Joel, Ross, Lizzie, and finally Derek. Derek and I used to joke about who would die first, I guess I won. Lucky me I guess. I know my times coming to an end, I can feel it. I'm actually looking forward to it, I'll finally be able to join them all, I'll be able to see Ross again. As I look around my empty hospital room I realize this is it. I feel myself dying, it's getting harder and harder to breathe. I finally give in, and let darkness consume my vision.

I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. I looked down at myself and saw that I was young again, the same age I was when we fought David. As I looked around some more I saw that I was surrounded by my friends! I looked around and the first person I was able to focus on was Kailey. I stood up, tears filling my eyes as I looked at her. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her, remembering how she died to save me. I didn't try to stop the tears, and I could feel her crying too.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't save you. It should have been me, not you," I was sobbing into her shoulder as I hugged her as hard as I dared.

"Max, it wasn't your fault. I decided to sacrifice myself to save all of you. Please don't blame yourself," She pulled away and looked at me with tears in her eyes. I nodded and looked around again. Then I saw him. The reason I lived, my other half, my soul mate, Ross. I slowly turned and began to walk over to him. I felt myself start crying again, and it looked like he was too. I finally reached him and hugged him with all my might. I pulled away and pulled him into a kiss. I have wanted to do this for years. When I finally pulled away I smiled. I get to spend eternity with my friends, and I couldn't think of anything better.

Hey guys, As you can probably tell I decided to just do an epilogue instead of a sequel. I just don't have the motivation to write a sequel. I just have too much going on with school and dance and basketball. I hope that you all liked this book, I certainly enjoyed writing it. This was so much fun and watching the views and votes go up always made my day every time. Thank you all so much for all your support and for reading this book. You all are amazing people, and for the last time, I hope you all have an amazing day and an even better tomorrow. Bye
