Was that it? Was it the end? So many thoughts were going through everybody's heads. The vampires had all stopped fighting. They just stared at each other.
"They have reunited," Vanessa whispered.
The last vampires standing still stared. Pluto had fallen off the cliff, Destiny was killed by Roman's mother, Roman's father was gone.
"It's impossible," Gladys said.
"Call for backup," Vanessa told her father.
"No," Arcturus told his daughter. "We cannot continue to fight,"
"We must go quickly," Gladys said.
Vanessa then looked over at Judine.
"Congratulations," she said. "Don't expect this to be the last time we see you all,"
The Voltri then vanished into the fog, their fallen soldiers everywhere.
"What happened?" Spencer asked.A light illuminated from the three and into the air. They then turned to Alison and Anne. They were glowing. Bianca then turned to see them and covered her eyes.
"My protectors," Alison groaned.
"What's going on?" Bianca asked, walking over.
"Stay away from us," yelled KT.
"I'm not going to harm you all," Bianca told them. "I don't mean any harm. Please,"
"Sure," Boo told her. "Stay away from Alison and the DuBois sisters,"
Spencer then came out of the woods, Alison ran over to him.
"Where are the others?" Alison asked. "Where's Roman?"
"He's attending his father," Spencer said. "He's not going to make it. He was sliced in half,"
"I don't give a fuck anymore," Judine told them all. "I'm going to kill Vanessa,"
Bianca then started to laugh, lightning struck down.
"She's so powerful," Bianca said. "You won't make it to the Voltri's second step,"
"Kill that bitch," Judine said. "I've had enough of her,"
"Why would you betray me," Alison asked her.
"You're nothing to me," Bianca told her. "I've been keeping a watch on you. I was told to since high school. I was walking home from prom that one night when Vanessa stopped me and asked where Spencer was. She didn't believe me and I ended up a vampire. I'm her servant now,"
Spencer and KT were both holding Bianca so she wouldn't run off into the distance.
"Kill me," Bianca hissed. "I want Allllliiiisssssson to do it,"
Alison started to walk over, Judine then cut in front of her and stared her right in the eyes.
"You betrayed us all," Judine said. "Fuck you,"
As Bianca was laughing, Judine tore her head off and threw it into the forest. Everyone just stared with their mouths open.
"Wh-," Misty began. "I would ask what just happened but. Never mind,"
The group all got into Jake's car and left Bianca's body laying in the middle of the road.Back at Firewood, Polly was looking through old boxes of photos with Grandma DuBois. All was silent until the door slammed open and Alison, Judine, and Anne walked in.
"You're home finally," Grandma D smiled, running over to give them all a hug.
"Hi Polly," Anne said. "How are you doing?"
"I'm great," Polly said, staring at Judine.
"What happened to you?" Grandma D asked Judine.
"I just got my hair dyed," Judine said. "Do you like it?"
They just stared at her.
"I know what happened," Grandma D told them all. "I have pictures out. Perfect story time,"
They all then sat on the couch by the fireplace. Polly was also listening, while petting her dog Princess.
"Where do I even start?" Grandma D said.
She pulled out a picture of her when she was younger and another older women.
"Who's that?" Alison asked.
"Your great grandmother," she began. "This was years ago. We have a family bloodline as you know. It skipped my dear mother Vanessa. When I was born with it, she was utterly distraught. She didn't want me to have what she didn't. She was an evil women. One day, she was out when she came across a hypnotist sort of thing. Of course she did it. They tricked her. Her soul was trapped. That hypnotist was an evil vampire whom took my own mother's soul and gave it to her daughter. Now, your protectors must set her free. Please. It's the only thing that I ask,"
"What's in it for them?" Polly asked.
"They must. It is their destiny," she told them.Boo, KT, and Misty were all at Jake's house discussing having to kill Vanessa.
"I'm not doing this," Jake said.
"I'm not either," Boo said. "It's a big commitment. I can't risk my own life for Alison and her sisters. I can't do it,"
"But she's our friend," KT yelled. "Please,"
"Boo, Jake," Misty said, quietly. "It has to be done. It's your destiny,"
Boo nodded and looked over at Jake. "We have no choice. They're going to make us,"
"We set out tonight," KT said.
"We're going there?" Boo asked.
"Yes, Boo," KT said. "We have to,"
Rachel then began crying from the other room and Jake got up, looking at them all.
"It's my turn to change the diaper," Jake said.
Jake left the room and everyone just stared at each other.Serena had been in the coffee shop for a whole week writing her new book. The customers knew her name by now. She walked in one day when she noticed Melissa's book was atop a shelf for the weekly bestseller. She walked in and saw a girl took it off the shelf and began reading it.
"Hi," Serena said.
The girl was Zoë. Zoë was Judine's secret lover for the longest time. Judine betrayed her. She left the hospital and disappeared with Spencer with her baby. Zoë was still struggling from her loss.
"You look familiar," Zoë said. "Aren't you friends with Ali and that family?"
"Yes," Serena said, sitting down. "Why?"
"We are in this book," Zoë said. "Well. At least I'm only in a chapter or two but at least I make an appearance,"
"True," Serena said. "Sit,"
Zoë sat and smiled. She turned to page 56 and turned it around to show Serena.
"Did you love Melissa?" Zoë asked. "This chapter is like a love letter to you. So heartbreaking,"
"I didn't know I had feelings for her," Serena told her. "Until she passed, of course,"
"Congratulations," Zoë said. "Welcome to the community. I'm lesbian too,"
"No I'm not lesbian," Serena laughed. "I like guys. I just had something special for Melissa. Nobody can ever put back my broken heart,"
"I know exactly how you feel," Zoë said. "She literally left me. We were going to be a family in a few years down the road. Judine,"
"I'm so sorry," Serena told her. "I will do you justice. In my book,"
Serena was proud. Nobody knew she was writing a book.
"You can't do that," Zoë said. "The first book was written by Melissa. She knew what she was doing,"
"And I do too," Serena said. "Please trust me,"
Zoë looked away and then back to Serena, she was thinking to herself for a moment.
"Okay," Zoë said. "But make me have a happy ending at least,"
Zoë got up and grabbed her bag as Serena watched her.
"It's what I deserve," Zoë continued. "Thanks,"
Serena watched her exit the coffee shop.
