A/N: So here is the epilogue. It wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but I wanted to finally wrap this story up and complete it.

Dyania slowly opened her eyes and tried to clear the fog from her mind. Her eyes snapped shut as she was blinded by the bright lights. Her throat was dry and her body hurt everywhere.

"Ugh," she groaned and opened her eyes again. Damn, I think I'm in a hospital.

"Di," came a deep voice from beside her. She carefully turned her head and focused her eyes on the man next to her. She smiled.

"Erik? What are you doing here?" Her voice came out as a whisper, but he still heard her.

"Thank god you're awake. You're at the hospital. You were shot a week ago. Your sister flew me out here as soon as she found out." He was really glad that she was okay.

"What happened? Why was I in so much pain? I remember being shot and the pain didn't go away. I didn't heal. I barely remember getting on the plane. It's just darkness after that." Her voice became stronger with each word.

"Hold on, let me page the nurse." Blade pressed the call button. "The bullets you were shot with were filled with silver nitrate. The poison traveled all throughout your body. That's the pain you feeling."

Dyania suddenly remembered something. She sat up slowly and looked down at her stomach. It was flat. Blade noticed this.

"Calm down. The doctors saved the baby. They had to perform a C-section. The baby's fine."

Dyania sat back in relief. "Thank god! Is it a boy or girl?"

"You didn't know?"

"No, I wanted to be surprised. Silly, right?" she laughed weakly.

"No. Our baby is beautiful and perfect. Except for being in an incubator."

"What?"

"Well, the baby was premature. Look, just calm down." At that moment, a nurse entered the room.

"Hello, Mrs. Ptolemy. How are you feeling?" the cheery nurse asked.

"Like I had a shitload of poison pumped into me and had my baby cut out of my uterus," Dyania said dryly. Blade glared at her. Be nice!

Dyania glared back at him. Mrs?

Blade shrugged. She scowled.

"Can you bring our newborn in?" Blade asked the nurse.

"Sure. I'll be right back." She disappeared from the room, and several minutes later she came back wheeling in the incubator.

Dyania looked into the incubator and broke into tears. "That's our baby!"

Blade hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. "Yes, it is."

A Month Later

Dyania was in for her checkup. The doctor was checking her abdomen,

"The stitches have healed up nicely. I don't see any permanent damage to your reproductive system. You are fully healed. Congratulations!" the doctor said.

Dyania sighed in relief. "Thank god, those stitches were a pain in the ass."

The doctor chuckled. "I also have a surprise for you. Nurse!"

The nurse walked in carrying a baby.

"I am letting you take your newborn home!" the doctor said. Dyania practically ran to the nurse and took her son.

"Hey, Junior! We get to take you home today. I can't wait for you to meet your older sister formally," Dyania said nuzzling her son. She handed him over to Blade.

"He looks exactly like you,' she commented.

"But he has your eyes," Blade said staring into the silver eyes of his son. After a month watching him live in an incubator, Dyania and Blade were going to take their son home.

Nenet was waiting for him at the airport. It had been centuries since she had seen him.

Her eyes scanned the crowd for him. All of a sudden, she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.

"Hello, sister," came a deep voice from behind her. She turned around and came face to face with her brother, Drake.

"Hello, brother. Did you do what you were asked?" she said in an even tone.

"No 'How are you, big brother?'?" Drake mocked. Nenet's eyes narrowed.

"Answer the question."

"Yes, I did. Did you think I would renege on our deal? All of the vampire leaders are dead. All you have to do now is release the virus," Drake declared.

"I have a question for you. Why are you willing to sacrifice yourself and your race?" Nenet asked.

"My reign is over. I know that now. My kind are weak and stupid. It was only a matter of time before their stupidity got them wiped out. I'm just speeding along the process. Atleast I'll have done one good thing before my demise," Drake explained.

"I'm going to miss you, even though you weren't around very much in my life. I am glad that my daughter and son were atleast able to build a relationship with you," Nenet sniffled.

Drake pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "I'm going to miss you too. This is for the best."

"I'll make sure your legacy will be respected. It's the least I could do after everything you did for my family."

"I wouldn't worry about it," Drake stated. H wasn't afraid of death. Actually, he was going to welcome. For the first time in 7,000 years he would be at peace.

A week later, the Daystar virus was released into the world killing all the vampires descended from Drake's race.

Nenet stood over her brother's headstone. Tears started streaming down her eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. He did what he thought was best. He'll never be forgotten," Ramses said pulling his wife into his arms. He soothingly rubbed her shoulders.

"I know," Nenet said. "But he's actually gone this time. He is not going to come back." Ramses kissed her cheek.

"I know, dear. I know."

Things progressed nicely for Dyania's family. She and Erik were finally happy. Her brother and mother were finally able to make peace; there were still some issues but they were working them out in therapy.

Dyania and Kafele had a hard time accepting their mother's marriage to their father, but they were coming to terms with it.

Erik had kept his word to Melina and gave up vampire hunting for good. He started up a dojo and was teaching people self-defense.

Melina and Nikolus didn't have anymore children because they were content with just having Arianna. She grew up to be a bright girl.

Dyania reflected upon her life. There had been a lot of hard times in her life, but now she was happy. She had a husband who loved her, kids who adored her, and a family who supported her. Things couldn't have gone better in life.

She snuggled up to her husband and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Alright, now it's time me for to take over this story-telling instead of some omniscient-third person narrator. I think you readers deserve some first-person story-telling, so hear I go!

In case you haven't figured out, this Ericka; Dyania and Erik's (aka Blade) daughter. Yeah, I think it's my turn to do the story-telling.

Let me start off where Mr. Omniscient left off. I was about four years old when my parents brought my little brother home. He was a cute baby. And I was the perfect older sister. Honestly, I think I spent more time with Junior than my parents did.

I'm not saying that my parents were bad parents. It's just that I preferred to spend time with my brother more than anything else. Plus I wanted to help out my parents who seemed exhausted all the time.

It's like they forgot that babies cried every two hours. I was actually pretty amused when I would see them walking like zombies because they were so tired.

Junior's cries didn't bother me that much. I was just happy to have someone else to play with. I would talk to Junior everyday, read him stories, teach him how to walk and talk. I wanted him to hurry up and grow up so that we could have more fun together.

Right around the time Junior turned three, my sister Vanessa was born. She was a noisy baby and a bratty kid. Don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but she's not exactly my favorite person in the world.

By the time I was ten years old, my parents had five kids. The last two, Drake and Nenet, were fraternal twins. Thankfully after the twins, my parents decided to stop having kids. I was so glad that I wouldn't have to deal with my mom's terrible mood swings, or lose sleep because a baby was crying. I finally could live my own life.

My life didn't turn out so badly. I grew into a smart and strong teenager. At the age of sixteen, I was apparently every boy's fantasy. I had long, curly black hair, my body was toned from exercising, and my boobs were C-cups.

My dad really didn't like the attention I was getting from boys. Little did he know that he didn't have to worry about me going out with boys.

Let's just say that guys aren't really my thing. I was never really interested in men, even since I was a kid. Women, however, had my full attention.

I loved women, literally. I loved their soft skin, their kissable lips, and their perky breasts. And I loved to make women moan. I lost my virginity to my first girlfriend at 14. We went to the Homecoming Dance and then went back to her house for some fun. My parents just thought we were having a sleepover. Atleast my dad did. My mom knew right away, and had "The Talk" with me. She also gave me a pack of Dental Dam. I guess she forgot that vampires cant catch diseases.

Anyway, my life turned out okay. I was happy. I am happy. I glad everything in my life worked out. My parents rarely fought, my siblings seemed to get along fine. My cousin Arianna was my best friend. She knew everything about me.

My life was pretty much perfect. And I have my parents to thank for that.

The Final Author's Note: It's been a fun few years writing this story, but after awhile I lost the drive to write fan fiction. I might not be updating any of my other stories after this because I want to focus on writing my own original stories. And school has me swamped, so something has to give. I really did have fun on here , but I think my time is over. It was nice having you all reading and reviewing my stories. I will never forget this chapter in my life. Thank you all!
