"What? How?" I gasped as I looked around the room looking for something to defend myself with.

"Don't forget, you are mine." Arthur pointed his sword at me, I froze. 

"No!" I clenched my head. "You can't control me." 

Arthur pulled away in anger.

"I'll be back there is no escape." I looked up and he was gone. 

I sat on the floor, sweating and breathing hard. Did I just imagine the whole thing? 

"Jim? Jim? Are you okay?" Claire grabbed my arm and helped me stand up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said not even convenienceing myself.

"Come on, your mom is excited to see you! I can't wait to see her reaction!" Claire beamed.

"Yeah… me too." I said then slightly smiled.

"I can't believe you didn't give me a warning I would have cooked or at least picked up a little-" my mom stopped when I walked into the room.

"Hey mom." I smiled.

"Jim?" Tears streamed down her face and she hugged me, I held her tight. 

"I promise I'll never leave you again." I said to myself. 

"How did this? What happened?" She asked and touched my face. I grabbed her hand and smiled.

"I don't know, I just remember being turned to stone and then… I was back." I said then grabbed Claire's hand.

"So, what are you going to do now TrollHunter?" My mom smiled.

"I don't know… I'm not the TrollHunter anymore though. The Amulet, it broke."  I said, then lowered my head in disappointment.

"That's okay, maybe things can go back to how they used to be." She smiled and kissed my head. 

"Except with lots and lots of babies." I said then picked one up.

"Are you guys keeping them?" Claire asked, while playing with the baby I was holding.

"Well, we've been looking for the parents if they're still around."  Strickler said.

"And if they are just too old, we'll take them in." My mom sighed then smiled.

"That's really kind of you." I smiled at the baby and then my mom. 

"Well. I'm going to clean up." I handed the baby to my mom and then kissed Claire on the cheek. 

"I think your parents would love to see you." I said with a weak smile.

"You're right. Don't get into any trouble when I'm gone." She hugged me then said bye to Toby and my mom. When she left I went up stairs and cleaned up. And I won't lie to you. I stared at Myself in the mirror for thirty minutes. I still couldn't believe my eyes. 

Later that night, I changed into a new blue jacket. And through on my blue Converse.

I checked the time and smiled in relief. There was still time to pick up Claire for dinner and bring her to the lookout point. She had been there for me through everything I wanted to do the same.

I ran downstairs and waved bye to my mom. I went into the garage to get my Vespa. Right. My Vespa was gone. I threw my head back in frustration!

"Merlin." I grumbled and slammed the garage door.

I went outside and smiled as the last sunshine of the day touched my face. 

"I will never take the sun for granted again." I said to myself then walked to Claire's house.

I got to her door and knocked, I was so nervous. "Why? Why am I so nervous?" I asked myself, then went to knock on the door again. It swung open, and Claire stood there, in her pink papa skull shirt, a purple jacket, dark leggings, with a short black skirt, but the most beautiful thing about her was her hair, she wore it down it fell right below her shoulders. 

I smiled, "Hey, you look…"

She cut me off, "I know, trust me I spent hours untangling my hair." She laughed, her  unforgettable laugh.

"Perfect, are you ready to go?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah, but I have a surprise for you first." She said then took my hand, she pulled me inside and walked with a mission to the garage. I waved to her parents, as I was pulled throughout the house until we made it to the garage door. 

"Okay, close your eyes." She giggled.

I sighed, and closed my eyes. "I don't know how many surprises I can take." I said as she felt her pull me forward.

"Okay, so since my mom is the New Council women she's been put in charge of replacing things, from the eternal night, I also guess there was this huge alien attack too." Claire said as we came to a stop.

"Okay, but what does this have to do-" I began to ask but she covered my mouth.

"Just listen, you've spent too much time with Blinky, asking all these questions. Anyway, she has replaced broken and damaged items, so." She came up behind me covered my eyes, "now you can open." I slowly opened my eyes, I had to blink a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. 

"A VESPA?!" I squealed.

"Yeah, since yours was destroyed. We got you a new one." She smiled and brushed a piece of her hair back.

"Claire! This is the best thing ever!" I ran up to the Vespa and sat on the new leather seat, I gripped the handles and brushed my thumb against the speedometer.

Claire giggled and she came up and sat on the seat behind me. 

"You said we had a date?" She asked then held on to my waist.

"Indeed, Fair Lady Claire." I smiled and winked at her.
