Blood within a Rose that's Fair and Sweet

Chapter 9 An Ending for all Eternity

Third Pov;

What happened oh, so long ago, many years had passed since then that it only feels like it was just yesterday. And with endings can come a beloved new beginning.

After dealing with the demonic parasitic creature Karl Knight, Erik's soul was then set free. With that, his soul had advanced off towards Heaven. As people say in the end; ‘All's well that ends well.' Though, not yet for this captivated story.

"Daddy! Daddy, the roses are blooming!"

"Oh, I see. That's great Violet."

"Hey Dad, once they're full bloom, can we pick some for Mom, Uncle Ralph, and Auntie Iris until then?"

"Sure, we can, Erik. Come along my precious little ones. Your mother is waiting back at home."

"Okay, Daddy!"

"Alright, Dad!"

"Welcome home, you three, dinner is ready."

Luna's Pov;

(By freeing Erik's soul many years ago had formerly relinquished since that day. In a steady process, I had even given up my humanity to be with Luka, and then we started a family together; twins one boy and one girl named Erik and Violet.)

Eventually, even Raphael found himself a wife named Iris Mitchel and fifteen years had passed since then. Though, to make sure no one other than Raphael and Iris could locate us, we moved to an abandoned villa where we spent the rest of our days out planting roses.

(For you see when I gave up my humanity to be the same as Luka to do that I had to partake in his blood. By drinking Luka's blood, I absorb his abilities and well-being as a demon, which includes becoming semi-immortal.)

And as being the same demonic breed as he is, my children and I draw out energy from nature, especially roses, to be exact.

"Hey, Luna, hey, Luka!"

"We've come to visit and have spectacular news!"

"Oh, Iris, Raphael good afternoon."

"Welcome you to, so what's this "spectacular news" you both wanted to share?"

"Well, you see, I'm pregnant."

"We're going to be parents!"

"Congratulations, you two."

"Oh, I'm so happy for you both!"

"Thank you. Thank you."

"Now, where's our little niece and nephew?"

"Right, being together with them is like extra practice for our own."

"Auntie and Uncle?!"

"Uncle Ralph and Aunt Iris!"

"Hey, there, squirts!"

"Hello, our little angels!"

"Just how in the world, did I ever become so lucky into having you in my life back and again, my fair rose?"

"You always say that Luka, but truthfully I'm the lucky one. You gave me everything that I've ever wanted and more to no bounds. For you gave me a warm, welcoming home, a loving family that's steadily growing, endless happiness, and finally a life with you for all eternity with no farewell ending."

"The same goes for me to my love. Especially since I have you by my side now and always. Now then, let's get back to our family, shall we?"

"Right, and we need to give Iris all the support she needs during her pregnancy. I can't wait to see our little niece or nephew when the time comes."

"Right, though between you and me, my rose, it's more than one."

"Twins, then?"

"Getting closer, my darling."

"She's having triplets!? But, wait how can you-?"

"It's part of being a demon, we sense their energy, or aura per se, and with that, I even know their genders without them being fully developed yet. Though, I'll leave it as a surprise when it's time for Iris to go into labor."

"Right, it looks like I still have more to learn. So, then it'll be our little secret till later."

(And now, finally, after five years Iris's triplets were then born. Two girls and one boy; Rina, Mia, and Matthew, Matt for short. It was a surprise for anyone after we've told them that they were having triplets when seven months went by, though, nevertheless, they were both beyond full of joy and happiness.)

Though, as time exceeded forward Luka, my children, and I didn't age any further through time. Lonely as it was, we had each other as a family. And so, as time steadily went ahead, even our children managed to find their special someone. To either spend their lives together or to live together though not forever.

(Yet, in the process we managed to have grandchildren, and their children's children, and so on so forth.

Along with Luka and myself having more children of our very own here and there in the process. And with Raphael and Iris's family coming to visit and spend time together shows how that family and friendship is and always will be significant to us no matter what.) The End.
