Epilogue

Alexis

We survived physically. But none of us will ever be the same. How could we. Three of us made it. Three out of thirteen.

The police did come. They couldn't find a trace of them. We told our story, they laughed claiming we were high. The high volume of painkillers in the punch didn't help. Neither did the dogs that tried to track the dead people. We still get calls from their families begging for the truth. A truth they can't understand.

That was a year ago. The three of us have been together ever since. School, no we dropped and Xavier and I are married. Tragedy brings people close, maybe, maybe I always liked him which is a truth. Sanniya stays next door. Her house is a fortress of weapons and countless types of magic. They call her a witch in town. The rest of the family keeps a distance from us. My own is safer staying away.

We know Jezal is still alive. I saw her a few months ago. Sometimes I dream about her. Dream about all of it. What is she coming for? Xavier has control over the beast. So why? Well she is coming for the two people in the crib. My twins are a boy and a girl. The product of our Christmas nightmare.

I'll never let her have them, ever….
