The Vampire Chronicles

Chapter 27

When all the fighting settled I looked around. Damien's group was all dead. Cyndy was laying next to Michael's body. I went into my backpack laying on the ground and pulled out the flasks. I passed them out to everyone.

"Michael told me to give these to you when everything was done." I explained.

"What are they?" Cyndy asked.

"Poison. I suggest going somewhere and drinking them." I explained.

"Keep them." Cynthia said.

"What?" I said shocked.

"I don't want to die. I love you guys, but if want to continue to live." She explained.

"Aaron and I both agree with Cynthia." Amber said.

"By all means. Do what you want." I said as I walked to Cyndy.

"I'll see you in the afterlife." I said hugging her.

"Goodbye everyone. Thanks for the memories." I say walking off.

"Goodbye, guys. It's been one hell of a time." Ben said joining me.

Cyndy's P.O.V.

I was almost outraged with Amber and Cynthia's decision to live. We were a fucking family! Oh well, all I needed was Michael, Brandy and Ben anyways. Cynthia and Amber said goodbye and walked off to start their new lives. Once I was alone, I began to cry. I looked at Michael and chugged the poison. I laid next to him and waited for the poison to kick in. It didn't hurt at all, I just drifted asleep. Forever.

Brandy's P.O.V.

I looked back and saw Cyndy laying next to Michael. She was motionless, she had already drank the poison. I walked to my car, grabbed 2 beers, and my guitar.

"Why are you grabbing those?" Ben asked.

"I want to die doing the things I love." I simply stated.

I turned towards Ben and handed him a beer. We cracked them open and took a sip as I lead the way. I went deep into the woods and sat down by a creek. I sat with my back against a tree and finished my beer. Ben sat next to me and did the same. I looked at him and gave a faint smile before kissing him lightly. He kissed back and pulled away. I chugged the poison and began to strum "Nutshell" by Alice in chains. Ben drank his poison right after I did. Slowly my eyes closed and I stopped strumming my guitar. My head fell onto Ben's shoulders.

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a field. I was in the same clothes, but there was no blood stains. I stood up and looked around. The scenery looked beautiful. I noticed out in the distance two figures. I heard faint yelling. Were they calling my name? When I began to move closer I noticed who it was. I took off running towards the yelling. I got close enough and I was right. It was Michael and Cyndy.

"Oh my god, I'm glad you're here!" I say pulling them into a group hug.

"Took you long enough." Michael chuckled.

"Cynthia, Amber, dj and Aaron won't be joining us." I said pulling back.

"We don't need them." Michael said calmly.

"Look who it is." Cyndy said pointing.

I turned around and saw Ben walking up. My eyes grew big and I ran towards him. I jumped into his arms and he spun me around.

"Baby!" I said with tears in my eyes.

"I love you." Ben said to me.

"I love you too." I said as he put me down.

Ben took his hand in mine and we walked back together.

"Come with us." Michael said.

We followed Michael to this house. You wouldn't believe who walked out the door.

"Punkin!" I heard.

"Mom!" I said happily.

I walked up to her and hugged her.

"Don't forget about me!" I heard a familiar voice.

"Cory?" I asked.

"Who else!" Cory said walking out the door.

"But?" I began.

"I contacted him." My mom explained.

"We're all here." I say excitedly. "My family." I continued.

I pulled everyone into a group hug. I couldn't help but cry. This was the best thing that happened. My afterlife was perfect. Whether this was real, or just my version of heaven, it didn't matter. I had everything I want and needed. I just hoped that no one would try to carry on our coven or Damien's group of vampire hunters. The fight was over, or had it just begun?
