Okay, this is a possible one-shot fanfic. If I get reviewers wanting more, I may write more chapters. I love this series but I hated that Meghan and Ash weren't able to stay together so I wrote another end. I hope you like it.
"When will you come back?"
"I'm not sure but probably not for a while." I answered my mom.
Her lips trembled and I wanted to stay to make her happy but my heart longed for Faery. I smiled sadly and hugged her again. As I breathed in the sent of her my eyes watered.
When my mother finally released me she turned to the left and asked, "You'll keep her safe, won't you?"
"Yes," Ash replied and gave a slight bow of his head.
With the Winter prince at my side I was able to face Ethan. M y little brother was still frightened of Ash but came to hug me, tightly.
"Come back soon, Maggie."
"Okay," was all I could say without breaking down.
"Take care of her." My step-father ordered Ash.
Ash and I stepped out the door and walked to the woods and used our glamor to make us invisible. In the shadows Ash took hold of my hand and gave it a squeeze. His silent show of comfort made me smile at him.
We walked to a place in the woods where our horses stood, waiting. Gifts from my father, the Summer King, Oberon and of Mab, the Winter Queen. Both monarchs decided not to stand in the way of our "blasphemous relationship" any longer. We saved Nevernever from destruction, again, so overlooking our relationship, as well as lifting our exile, is a small price if you ask me.
The false king was after the iron power that was given to me by the last Iron King. The false king could not rule completely without the power so he sent his minons throught Nevernever and the mortal world to track and take me before him to surrender the power. At our last battle I fought against him while Ash fought his traitorous brother and Puck, my best friend, fought Ash's clone.
Some point in the battle I realized I could give the power to another, a fey worthy enough to bring peace. I chose Glitch, the rebel leader. Within the short time we fought side by side, I noticed he was a good man. Before I gave up the power I made him swear to make peace with the old-bloods and not to charge on Nevernever again. Since then there has been peace and contracts were made up between the courts on the borders of the Iron kingdom. Ash and I were present at the meetings, we were given back our places in the courts but as soon as everything was settled we left, to visit my family.
"So, what now?" I asked, both Ash and myself.
"Remember we agreed to take time off from the courts and be alone?" Ash raised his eyebrows and his lips twitched. "Maybe I could show you Nevernever, now?"
I remember the morning he asked me that, the morning before we won the war and stopped the false king. The morning after I went to his bed.
With a flush on my face I nodded. "Where to first?"
Ash thought for a moment and smiled at me, a beautiful sight whenever he allowed it.
"Would you like to learn how to hunt?" Ash asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Oh, hell." I muttered.
Ash chuckled as he helped me onto my horse.
"You'll do fine," he said as he kissed the back of my hand. "Trust me."
That was the only encouragement I needed to follow him.
The Summer princess and the Winter prince rode into a trod, vanishing from the human world. From that day on the two were seen, riding through the wildwood, laughing and hunting together. When their child was born less than a year later Summer, Winter and the Iron kingdom celebrated. A permanent peace between the courts was born with the child and all fey turned their eyes to watch boy grow, for he was destined for greatness.
Remember to review, if you want more or just let me know what you think.
