PHOENIX - Isaac Lahey

EPILOGUE

"Nobody knows you the way that I know you. Look in my eyes I will never desert you. And just say the word, we'll take on the world."

- Take on the world, You Me At Six

"I knew I'd find you here."

Isaac's voice as he walked towards her made her smile, wiping the single tear that had ran down her cheek.

"Where else could I go to say goodbye?" She shrugged. "I already did so with Scott and Melissa."

"We only have our families left, huh?"

They were both staring at the graves of Erica and Boyd right next to Camden's. All of them having different flowers created by Josie's magic, to say goodbye.

Intertwining their fingers, they began to move through the cemetery. They stopped in front of every grave that had someone they had cared about.

Cassandra and William Wright, who had been buried side by side. Amanda Lahey, Isaac's mother. Allison Argent's, who's funeral had been just a few days before.

Once they were walking through the woods, without looking back, once they were out of the place were the people of Beacon Hills buried their dead, they smiled softly at each other, somehow finding peace on being there again, together.

No longer were they the children who played to be warriors and travelers, but they also weren't the teenagers running from danger. They were their new selves, the ones they were trying to discover.

"The twins are already waiting." Isaac read the text message he had received on his phone before starting the engine of the car, with some boxes in the back seat and others in the trunk.

"I'll tell them to follow close, we don't want them getting lost." She smiled at him, earning a smile back just as they passed the sign that said 'Welcome to Beacon Hills'.

"Great. We're lost."

"Aiden, if you don't shut the fuck up, I'mma make you." Josie hissed while looking at the map in her hands.

"We're literally in the middle of nowhere, there's nothing and no one here." He complained with his arms stretched at his sides.

They had been driving for the last couple days and now they had stopped in the middle of the desert-like place, no signs of civilization for miles.

"It says it's here." Josie muttered to herself, squinting her eyes to check her mother's map again.

"Well, it's wrong."

Isaac growled at flashed his golden eyes at Aiden, receiving the same treatment from the other boy.

"Guys! Guys! Stop it!" Ethan intervened, standing in front of them.

"Does any of you have a lighter?" Josie asked all of a sudden, but shook her head and kept talking before they had a chance to answer. "I'm so stupid, forget it."

She closed her right hand in a fist and then only got her index finger out, a flame over her fingertip. Carefully, she placed it behind and under the map, noticing some words written on it that she hadn't seen before.

"What is it?" Isaac asked her.

"It's a ... I think it's a spell." She put the flame off and walked a few steps away from them and the cars. "Aperito elisii campi." She exclaimed in a low and clear voice with her palms open at her sides and her eyes closed.

When she re-opened them was when she noticed. The werewolves watched in confusion as she carefully approached what appeared to be nothing more than open space, and she slowly lifted her hand to touch the reflection the light was causing on something there.

They all gasped when they saw her hand slowly disappear and then reappear when she jumped back. Josie turned to them with a wide and surprised smile before turning back around and taking two steps forward, disappearing completely from their side.

"What the fuck?" The twins whispered at the same time.

"Jo!" Without thinking twice, Isaac ran towards where she had last been standing and had to close his eyes once the light changed.

Once they adjusted to the new brightness, he noticed that not only the light had changed. There was what looked to be a small town surrounded by green forest. People walking down the streets, a few cars here and there.

The air smelled different, it was cleaner. All of his hairs stood on end, like a wave of power had ran down his spine.

"We found it!" Josie jumped into his arms, laughing in excitement.

The twins soon walked in as well, going through the same process Josie and Isaac had gone through before looking in amazement at everything around them.

Someone's presence a few feet in front of the witch made them alert, ready to fight or flight.

"And who might you all be?" The tanned man asked, eyeing them with curiosity.

"We're looking for Damian Moore." Josie explained, taking the small smile on his lips as a good sign. "We're here in the name of Cassandra Wright."

"Oh, yes. I can sense her in you." The man chuckled to himself. "You must be her daughter, Josephine."

"Damian Moore?" Isaac asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That would be me." The man nodded, his smile somehow widening. "I am pleased to say, welcome to Eden. A safe haven for all supernatural creatures."

And those few words were enough for Isaac and Josie to know that a bright future was awaiting them, it was enough for hope to flourish in their hearts, as their hands intertwined.

And they were thankful, because this chance at being happy was thanks to Cassandra Wright, hopefully looking out for them from the afterlife.
