Epilogue

(Five Years Later, Tori's POV)

It sucks, it really does being the last werewolf, it didn't when I thought I was but now that I know I am it really does. I can hear the kids in the other room playing, Ruth is watching them and she's good at it. I roll over onto my side and look at the night stand, I look at the picture of Jade. Not a day goes by that I don't look at that picture, five long years have gone by since I watched her die. I rub my hand over the soft comforter, in the empty spot. It has grown cold ever since I lost her, and I've been keeping my promise to her. I haven't lost my humanity.

The kids are doing better then I am, the only reason is they are human. I lost my mate and the fact that I haven't gone rogue is a miracle. I sit up and sigh as I look at the picture of Jade again. There is one nice thing to come out of all this, no more fighting. No more fighting, no more war, no more Vipers, Lycans, or Skin Walkers. Now I truly am the last, the last of an ancient species and I still look twenty three. I climb out of bed and I do what I have been doing since the first day I lost her, I kiss her picture.

I dress myself and walk out of the bedroom and look as the children play X-box. I smile as I lean up against a wall as I watched them. The three of them play the game together and laughed as they raced their cars on the game. I tip my head down and think of Jade again, no matter how old she would get she would always find time to play those games. I walk down the steps and come up behind them just as Holly pushes Ruth's car off the track.

"Hey you runt that ain't cool" Ruth said with a laugh as she playfully pushes Holly.

"Yeah then you'll hate this" Melissa said as she fires a missile blowing up Ruth's car just as she got back on the track.

I smile at the dumbfounded look on Ruth's face as Melissa gives her a devilish look. I slowly make my way to the kitchen and start myself a pot of coffee. The full moon is tonight and I know one thing I will see Jade. She has haunted my transformations since her death. Every time I change she's either there as her human self, which I stay with or her wolf form which I chase through the woods. My mind isn't slipping I set that up so as not to go on a rampage.

"Mom" Ruth says to me making me look to her. She started calling me that when she turned eleven. To her Jade was also like a mother, and so she calls Jade mother.

"Yeah?" I ask as I pour myself a cup of coffee.

"Are we going to Beck's tonight?" she asked looking at me.

"Yeah, I have to leave for work, on my way home I have to swing by the school to see an old friend. Then we will visit mom's grave and then we will head over there" I say as I take a sip of my coffee. I look at the mug and smile, it was the mug Jade always drank from.

"Well, have a nice time at work mom" Ruth says as she wraps me in a hug.

I smile as I pat her head softly and then kiss the top of it. She's almost as tall as I am. I look at her as I smile a bit and look up to see Melissa and Holly they look at us and I smile as I open my arm up inviting them to join. I hug them to before saying goodbye and walking out the door. I carry the mug with me and I climb into Jade's mustang. I look the car over, thinking about Jade again. I smile and pull out of the driveway off to work.

The ten minuet drive came to an end when I was standing out front of the recording building. I walk in, thinking about hoping that I had gotten a chance to do a remake of a song. Jade's favorite song, Don't Wake Me by Skillet. I walk through the elevator doors and look to see my manager there.

"Tori baby, I've got some great news" he says with a huge smile.

"Oh yeah, what is that?" I ask looking at him.

"We got the call, you can do the remake" he says with a toothy grin.

"Awesome, let's start" I say walking into the studio.

"Tori why is this song so important to you?" I hear him ask making me stop before I walk into the booth.

I sigh slightly and look over my shoulder at him, "It was my wife's favorite song."

When I was finished recording I recorded five more songs and that was my day. I left the office and walked out to the car, all the while singing Jade's song to myself. I climb into the car and look back thinking about what people will think of the song. I then realize I don't care what they think it was Jade's favorite song. I pull into Hollywood Arts and park in the visitor parking. I climb out and walk towards the entrance, knowing I can't wait to see him.

I walk in and look around at the wall to my left. They have a small memorial, one of student who have passed through there but died. I look at Cat's and sneer a bit, no one knew what kind of monster she was. The next is Robbie, and in his picture is Rex, I sometimes find myself missing both of them. I look at a picture of Sinjin but quickly walk by it to the next one. The next one is my sister Trina, I'll never forgive myself for killing her back before I could control the wolf. I turn to Andre's picture and smile, I still remember all the fun we had together, my best friend ever. The final picture is Jade, and I lower my head before reaching up and placing my hand onto the picture.

"She was one of the best teachers, almost as good as me" I hear a familiar voice say behind me.

"Yeah, you were the best also the craziest" I say with a slight chuckle before turning to face the voice. "How are you Sikowitz?"

"I'm good getting old" he says with a chuckle as he pats my shoulder.

I chuckle as I look at him and wrap him in a hug. I feel my emotions start to rise a bit as I pull back and wipe a tear away. "I miss her so much" I say looking at him.

"I know, we all do. Years ago after she poured that coffee on your head I never would have thought you two would have fallen in love. Life works in funny ways" he says with a smile.

"It does indeed, in a way we have you to thank for our love" I say placing my hands on his shoulders making him look at me confused. "That fake date you sent us on for that play you had us do. Well it sparked something, look its been great seeing you, I'll stop by and see you again soon. I have to meet Beck at the cemetery."

"Well tell that handsome Canadian I said hello" he said with a smile.

I smile a bit and give him a hug before I look back at Jade's picture one last time. Turning around I walk out of the school back towards the car. I climb in and my mind starts playing the song over in my head. I know tonight while I'm in the wolf form I'll be singing it in my mind, I drive away from the school, and head towards the cemetery. I look around as I pull into the cemetery. I see Beck's car parked over out of the way and I see him and the kids waiting for me. I climb out of the car and walk over to where they are. As soon as I get closer the children run to me, and take my hands in theirs. We walk through the cemetery and stop in front of one headstone. My mother's.

I spend a few minuets in front of her stone before walking down a little ways. Beck is already in front of the stone and it belongs to Andre. I look at him and he looks back at me as we move down to the next one. We stop for a few minuets in front of Robbie's and we talk about how much we miss both him and Andre. We walk down a little bit further until we stop in front of one. We stop in front of Jade's. I look down at it before kneeling down and removing some of the leaves away from it. I pull out the dead flowers and turn to Melissa and take the fresh ones from her. I put them in the small vase and touch the stone.

"C'mon you three, let's give you mother a moment" I hear Beck say as I look at the stone.

I glance over my shoulder and look as they walk down towards Andre's stone. No doubt he's going to relive a few of their old adventures. I look back to the headstone and lower my head slightly as my hand reaches up and I rub it across her name. "I know you saw it today but I did a remake of a song. Your song, your favorite song. I miss you so much, but I know I will see you tonight when I change." I say softly as a lone tear drips from my eye. I lower my head as I keep my hand on the stone, as I do I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look back to see my dad standing there.

"We all miss her" he said softly.

I just nod and look up at the sky, I can see its already getting close to night. It's fall now and so the days are getting shorter. I stand up and turn around to see Beck and the children walking over to join us. I look at them as they get their clothes for the night and climb into Beck's car. I waved at them as they left and I glanced back to Jade's headstone. I knew it was going to be a long night.

I am standing near the waterfall, my mind racing as the moon begins to rise. I lower my head for a hew seconds and think about the change to come. When I open my eyes I know they are orange in color. I fall forward as I feel my skin split and soon the wolf is free. I shake my red fur causing my shreds of skin to fall to the ground. My paw moves forward and I look out across the woods before I let out a mournful howl.

"Hey you" I hear her voice say from behind me.

I turn and look to see Jade standing there, like she had appeared from nowhere. I look at her as I walk over to her. I'm not crazy, some how my mind came up with her to prevent me from going on a rampage. I walk over to her and I fell her hand run its way through my fur. I purr softly as I rub my head against her. She smiles slightly as she tips her head to mine. I start to rub my head against hers and I can feel her, I always can feel her.

"Let's go for a run" she says climbing onto my back

I went to bed I was thinking about you,

Ain't the same since I'm living without you

All the memories are getting colder

All the things I wanna to do over

Went to bed I was thinking about youI wanna talk and laugh like we used toWhen I see you in my dreams at nightIt's so real but it's in my mind

And now…I …guessThis is as good as it gets

I look back at her as she gets into position on my back. I see her smile at me and nod. I know she isn't real but it feels oh so real, her skin on my fur. I look out into the woods and I bound down off the rocks. I walk up to the water as it flows by and I can see my reflection, but I only see me and so I look back and she is still there. I bound over the stream and take off at full speed crashing through the brush, carrying her out into a field. As soon as I come through it I see a group of deer standing in it and they are looking at me. I feel her grip me tighter telling me to control myself as I feel the wolf wanting to take a deer. I turn and walk through the woods leaving the deer behind.

"Very good Tori, fight all urges of the rampage" I hear her say.

Don't wake meCause I don't wanna leave this dreamDon't wake meCause I never seem to stay asleep enoughWhen it's you I'm dreaming ofI don't wanna wake up

I break into a run again, my four paws digging into the soft dirt as I run, weaving my way through the trees as I run. For some reason I am leading myself to another area we know. I run up onto a cliff and look out across the ocean, the moon is casting its soft glow across the water and I hear the waves lap against the rocks. I feel Jade climb off and I look as she walks towards a stone structure. I see her run her hand over the smooth rocks, and I have flashes hit me. It's the same structure that Quincy put Jordan to rest at, I haven't been here in almost five years. I walk forward and sniff it as I start to remember that night. I feel it, something I never thought would happen, a tear. I feel a tear dripping down my fur and before I know it I feel Jade's hand come up and wipe it away. I look over to her and she smiles at me before she places a kiss on my nose.

"You're still human under that red wolf" she says as she climbs onto my back again

I went to bed I was thinking about you

And how it felt when I finally found you

It's like a movie playing over in my head

Don't wanna look cause I know how it ends

All the words that I said that I wouldn't say

All the promises I made that I wouldn't break

It's last call, last song, last dance

Cause I can't get you back can't get a second chance

And now…

I…guess

This is as good as it gets

I jump through the air and land in front of another structure, the structure we put Quincy to rest at. I look around at the area, my mind racing as I remember everything. I look around for a few seconds as Jade gets off of me again. I see her walk over to a spot and look down before looking back at me. I walk over and look down to see what she found and when I do I see a flattened skull. I know it's Sinjin's and I let loose a small growl. Suddenly I feel jade smack me across the nose causing me to snort and look back at her.

"He's dead, no need to loose yourself over a dead man" I hear her say as she waves a finger at me.

Just then I hear a lour roar and I look to see a bear walking towards me. Jade is in front of the bear and I watch as the bear walks through her. Its getting closer to me and I arch my back and bark loudly. Suddenly I feel a hand stroking the top of my head and I look to see Jade standing there. She just shakes her head and I loosen up as I look back a the bear. I watch the bear as it looks at me and then slowly turns and walks off into the woods.

"You see you don't always have to fight" I hear her say as she moves back onto my back.

Don't wake me

Cause I don't wanna leave this dream

Don't wake me

Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough

When it's you I'm dreaming of

I don't wanna wake up

Don't wake me

We're together just you and me

Don't wake me

Cause we're happy like we used to be

I know I gotta let you go

But I don't wanna be alone

I look at her as we walk through the woods, towards where we started. I walk up to the waterfall and look up at it. I look over to Jade as she walks up to me and wraps her arms around my thick neck. I look at her as we walk towards the outcrop and I can her laughing. I look back at her as we get to the outcrop. I see her nowhere and I look around, worried my mind is sending her away already.

"Boo" she says as she jumps out behind me.

I jump and look at her as I snort slightly. I look as she walks over to the edge of the outcrop. She sits down and I slowly walk over to her side and lay down. I move my head over and lay it down on her lap, my eyes look up to her. She looks down and smiles at me as she starts to rub my head. I purr slightly as I close my eyes, knowing that when I open them I'll be human again and she'll be gone.

Theses dreams of you keep on growing stronger

It ain't a lot but it's all I have

Nothing to do but keep sleeping longer

Don't wanna stop cause I want you back

Don't wake me

Cause I don't wanna leave this dream

Don't wake me

Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough

When it's you I'm dreaming of

I don't wanna wake up

Don't wake me

We're together just you and me

Don't wake me

Cause we're happy like we used to be

I know I've gotta let you go

But I don't wanna be alone

I went to bed I was thinking about you

Cause I don't wanna leave this dream

It ain't the same since I'm living without you

Don't wake me

Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough

I know I've gotta let you go

I don't wanna wake up…

The sun rose bathing me in it's warm glow. I moan a bit as I felt a cool autumn breeze wash over me. I shift a bit and when I did I notice my head is laying on a pair of legs. I open my eyes quickly and looked to see a pair of legs covered in black jeans. I roll onto my back and look up to see Jade looking down at me smiling. I reach up and kiss her with fiery passion and she kisses me back. This is the first time she has been here when I changed back.

"I won't be here for much longer" she says softly as I sit up and look at her.

"No, I don't want you to leave" I say as tears start to well up in my eyes.

"I have to" she simply says as she reaches up and rubs the tears away from my eyes. Her hands are so warm and soft like I remember. I look into her sapphire eyes as she just smiles softly. I reach up and place my hand on her cheek as more tears flow from my eyes. I happen to glance down and I notice she is already starting to fade out into nothing. This instantly causes me to sob more as I throw my arms around her, forbidding her from leaving me again.

"Please Jade don't leave me" I beg through sobs. I look at her as she smiles softly, her face slowly becoming transparent. I can feel an invisible hand reach up and stroke my face.

"I will always be with you, I love you so much Tori" she says softly as her eyes slowly start to disappear.

"I love you too" I cry as she completely disappears. I fall forward into the grass crying loudly as I curl up into a ball. I lay there crying softly, my mind racing as I slowly start to get up. I walk over to my pile of clothes and reach down and pick them up and put them on. I look at the black leather coat before I put it on, it used to be Jade's. Slowly I make my way out of the woods and walk to the car. I climb in and reach over to the glove box where I hide my keys. I reach in and my hand falls on something else, my pistol.

I pull it out and look at it, I know its still loaded with silver rounds. I look the gun over, maybe this is the way I can stay with her. I pull the hammer back on the pistol, my mind racing as I place the muzzle of the gun to my temple. I close my eyes as I sit there with the gun at my head. Tears are streaking down my face as my hand starts shaking. With this shot there will no longer be anymore werewolves.

No I hear Jade say in the back of my head. My eyes shoot wide and I pull the gun away from my head. I look down at it as it sits in my hand. Opening the car door I climb out of the car and walk back into the woods carrying the pistol with me. I walk up and come back to the outcrop and look down at the waterfall. I look back to the pistol and then to the waterfall, more tears start to flow. In one good heave I throw the pistol at the base of the waterfall and I look as it sinks below the water. Just then my phone rings and I answer it.

"Hello" I say doing my best to cover up my crying.

"Hey are you coming or not, its Thanksgiving" I hear Beck say into my ear.

"Oh, yeah I'll be on my way in a bit" I say hanging the phone up.

I look back out over the waterfall, thinking of how my life is going to go now. What other adventures will there be for me in the future? How long will I truly live? All these answers I know will only come with time. Turning around I start to walk back towards the car but I stop. There is no way I just saw that, did I? So to answer my question I slowly turn back around and look up to the waterfall. Sure enough there is a white wolf standing there looking at me. Its blue eyes lock with mine and at that moment it barks and a red wolf runs up next to it. I smile a bit as I look at these two natural wolves. It would appear wild wolves are making a comeback in California. I turn and walk away making my way back to the car. I climb in, Thanksgiving day, and I'll be spending it with my family. I look in my rear view mirror and freeze Jade is sitting in the backseat. I quickly spin around and look but she is gone.

I will always be with you I hear her say in my mind. I look down the road, I know I have a long road ahead of me. And the only thing is I'll have to walk that roar alone, and spend eternity alone. I drive away leaving the woods behind, making my way to Beck's. It's a five minuet drive and I'm there in no time. I look up as the kids come running down to meet me and I smile slightly. They, they are the reason I have been keeping my humanity. I climb out of the car and wrap them in a hug.

"We love you mom" they chimed together and I smile as one more tear slips from my eyes.

"I love you three so much" I say hugging them tightly. It may be a long eternity but I know I'll at least have them until they pass. I'll out live everyone but I know, I know I'll always have Jade when I change. I look up as Beck walks out and looks down at us. I smile a bit as we go into his house. This is what I'm thankful for, I still have them.
