Epilogue

When they had left I had watched them with a kind of fulfillment feeling in my body. If they hadn't come into my life I don't know what I would've done. Well, I kinda do. I would still be that girl that looked at the ground and didn't talk to anyone and held a big secret. Sure, I would probably never be really loud, but I had more confidence and my secret was out… well at least to my parents anyways. I didn't need the whole world to know.

When my parents had awaken… I'm pretty sure if I was in their predicament I might have passed out too. It was pretty shocking news and would be hard to wrap ones head around… they accepted my difference. My mother said that it didn't matter what or maybe who I was or were, that all that mattered was that they loved me and that that would never ever change. Love really does conquer all.

Life for me would never go by smoothly, but it did go by a bit smoother than before. With this ring the heat didn't bother me anymore and I could go anywhere I wanted. I could actually enjoy summer months now and eat warm food. I didn't realize how good food actually tasted when it was hot.

I usually saw the titans at least once a week. Whether it was for a movie night or some training, I didn't care, as long as I got to see all of them, especially her. It was through them that I was able to learn how to express myself and stand strong in front of other people. My constant nervousness began to slowly, but surely melt away.

I still wasn't one for many friends. I really only needed several close ones and those I had. It surprised me how much we were alike. Raven and I were like two peas in a pod. She never ceased to amaze me. The things she had been through… I was always begging her for a story about some aspect of her life, much to her annoyance, but my persistence always made her cave in.

It was amazing. I had two families, two families that cared about me, two families that would do anything for me. I always had had trouble accepting love. I never really felt like I deserved it, but with parents and friends like these that was quickly pushed aside and I would never think about that again.

I was finally complete, finally content with myself. I didn't need to change. I didn't need to hide. I was ready to take the whole world on now.

Look out world … here I come!

I know this may not be the ending you were looking for, but I liked it... and that's all that matters... Right?

anyways, this story is finally OVER!

Now I can go and finish another one of my stories.

I thank all those that read this story. it means a lot to me.
