Epilogue
By shadows/of/flame
Thanks to all my reviewers, for sticking by this story and for all the inspiration.
This chappie, the final one, is of course dedicated to all of you.
The rain was gone, leaving behind a slightly foggy sky.
Water dripped off the leaves of the trees, shimmering softly as the drops hit the grass.
A slighty chilly breeze ran through Haven Forest, sweeping past a large log cabin.
Keira stretched as she awoke, rubbing the sleep from her clouded eyes.
Sleeping in was one of those great things she savoured about the trip away from the city.
She had been through a lot in the past few months - joining the Underground, getting shunned by her two friends, being in the middle of a war, being in the middle of another war - but the final result was what she was most pleased with.
Ashelin had decided that, for all their hardwork, while her and Jak were on their honeymoon, that they should at the very least get a holiday.
This 'holiday' came in the form of the large log cabin, which Torn had stumbled across while trying to find 'the disturbance', and both were surprised at their mission.
'That mission was actually a holiday.'
Arms wrapped tightly around her, and she smiled.
"Morning Torny." she purred, snuggling into his arms.
The ex-KG nuzzled her chin as he smiled softly, a small moment that could only be savoured by the one he loved.
"Good morning Keira. What shall we do this morning?"
She giggled.
"How about lie around in bed all day like we usually do?"
Torn chuckled.
"We have a holiday, we may as well use it wisely."
Keiras face screwed up, and Torn kissed her ever so gently as his arms wrapped around her shoulders.
Their foreheads were touching as they pulled apart, Keiras arms wrapping around Torns waist.
"So much for a mission." Torn grumbled, and Keira giggled at his seriousness.
"Daddy did well to actually trick you! I mean, has that ever been achieved before?" she teased, earning a playful glare from Torn.
"I'm glad for the stay away." Torn replied, throwing off the covers, and making Keira shiver.
"Hey! What was that for?" she glared, and Torn went off to the shower quickly to avoid her wrathful glare.
As the door slammed shut, Keira curled back up under the blankets, smiling as she listened to the man she loved tinkering in the shower. At one point, she thought he was singing, but she thought it must have been her imagination.
Happy endings didn't come very often, but Keira knew she had finally found hers.
'When I started my adventure, I always thought that I'd win Jak back. I'd be his girl in shining armour saving him from the evil clutches of Ashelin. But I guess... I guess everything turns out the way it does for a reason. And...' she giggled as Torn returned from his shower, steam rising from the bathroom, 'Its not like I mind at all.'
"After I'm dressed, how does a walk sound?" Torn asked, and Keira nodded half sleepily, wondering if there was any food to be found in the kitchen.
"Come on, Miss Lazy competitor of the year." he grunted, grabbing her by the hand, and gently pulling her out of bed.
She clung to him as she stood uncertainly on wobbly legs.
"Torn... do you like how your lifes turned out?"
The rebel was obviously surprised at the question, and squeezed her hands tightly.
"What do you mean?"
"I was just wondering... you know... if you're happy with the end result of the war."
'And me...' she thought silently to herself.
He pulled her into a hug, resting his face in her hair, sighing softly.
"Jak and Ashelin are in office of Haven City. Jinx has Spargus, and I have you. What more could I want?"
Keira blushed, resting her head against his slightly damp chest, and listening to his heart thudding in his chest.
"You know, we don't have to go out..." Keira purred, and Torn smirked.
"Anything to get out of a walk, I'm not blind. Come on, you need to stretch your legs."
Keira tried to protest. but the bathroom door slammed shut again, signalling that Torn was about to get dressed.
She rolled her eyes, quickly dressing and escaping into the kitchen, where she attacked the fridge.
"There'll be none of that." Torn tutted, before grabbing her from behind and slinging her over his shoulder.
She squirmed a little bit, wondering how he had changed so fast, but gave up after a while, as she knew it was useless. Thin though he was, Torn could easily lift up a few people and sling them over his shoulder.
It began to get slightly warmer, and sunlight started filtering through the gaps that the trees weren't shading, and Keira shivered as a raindrop found its way down her sleeve.
Torn let Keira down, and she gasped as a huge waterfall greeted them, the lake underneath it perfect for swimming in.
He smirked and held out her bikini, silently laughing. " I knew Samos was up to something when he said bring your bikini..."
Keira wrinkled her nose, half in disgust and half in delight. "Well, he knew about this beforehand, remember? Thats why I packed one just in case, something was obviously up."
"Yeah, Samos loves you too." Torn chuckled, ducking behind a tree to change into his swim suit.
He met Keira in the water a few minutes later, sneaking up on her and shoving her into the water.
She let out a strangled yelp, and fell clumsily into the water, grabbing Torn as she fell.
"You'd better still be around again when Haven City needs saving again. You're too precious to me and to Haven to lose..." Torn murmured as they surfaced, holding Keira to his chest tightly.
But she she didn't answer, as she was fast asleep, dreaming of the future.
Well, this is the end of KY. I would like to thank my sister, Em and Sull for all their help and support with this.Thank you guys!
