Epilogue

Rage and lust. The combination did not mix well.

Trying to suppress my emotions was near impossible. I wanted to scream at him at the top of my lungs then kiss him right after.

The lump rose in my throat, my heart pounding in my ears, adrenaline and nerves raced through my body as he came towards me.

"Cara..." he spoke, his voice smooth and hushed.

slowly, his hand reached out to grab my smaller shaking one.

Our fingers intertwined slowly, and in that moment, as soon as his hand made contact with mine, something extraordinary happened.

his face started to change.

his eyes, his flesh, his lips.

they all became a certain something I didn't know.

looking past him at the sky and the trees, all the foliage, everything.

it all changed.

"D-do you see it too?" I asked noticing his facial expression, a mixture of shock, confusion, and amazement.

"Yeah..." he responded quickly, "I see it too."
