Death's Werewolf Nymph
Epilogue

After two years in a stormy morning Meredith birthed a baby girl with dark brown hair, eyes of silver and forest green. Half werewolf, half forest nymph was born.

Twenty minutes later a baby girl with hair black as raven and eyes of silver and porcelain skin. Celestial nymph.

Meredith named the first girl Adelie. And Death named the second girl Danica.

Mrs. Redwood was there and she noticed how both girls had inherited Death’s powers. A complicated gift for both of them.

Adelie had a prophecy to fulfill when she was old enough. With powers like hers she could be the world’s ruler. Many trustworthy witches and wizards came to Meredith telling her how to protect her. Adelie needed to stay hidden through her childhood, under a cape to hide her peculiar beauty.

She was taught to be obedient and to not use her powers too early. Meredith had to keep a lot of things hidden from her. This all was to protect Adelie from herself, to shield her from her own power.

Danica was a celestial nymph with no werewolf side at all. Her element was celestial. Meredith and Death both knew that she was powerful. There weren’t many people who Death and Meredith trusted. But Mrs. Redwood had seen a lot of creatures in her life, and worked with powerful creatures. She watched as Danica grew a little older. A wolf pack wasn’t the right habitat for her. The skies were calling her every night subconsciously.

She kept sneaking out and waking up under the start. The sky was guiding her. It had become dangerous. She was meant to do something great but she needed to be hidden from her abilities while she grew.

The hardest thing to do occurred to Meredith when the safest plan was to isolate Danica from this world and let her live in the human world. She needed to live like a human until it was the right time for her to know everything that’s true about her.

Twins separated at only three years old. One grew up with her parents and one was being secretly watched by them. Both were shielded from their abilities.

A life that none of them planned, but they still fought through sacrificing for the girls to grow up healthy and happy.

Meredith’s heart never stopped aching for separating her girls but it was a price of keeping them both safe.

The higher powers knew that this was the right thing to do. To protect the girls from power too early. They needed to grow up to know what responsibility they held within their powers. A little child exposed to a world of gods, evil and wicked ways of how the world works would destroy the young mind of a clueless child, make them exposed to lies that people are ready to give to be the greatest.

Once Meredith visited her old pack, with a cape over her head she stood at the edge of the forest where her house used to was, it was still there. There was someone else living there. But the paint and roses she planted were left there. This wasn’t the abandoned side of the pack anymore. Every house was now filled with chatter and laughter.

She noticed Xavier there, now older looking. He was fixing up a hole in the wall. Three children were running around in front of the house. Xavier was happy and laughing. She took her hood off from her head and Xavier casually looking around noticed her.

His face was washed over with surprise but then a smile emerged on his face. There wouldn’t be a time where he wouldn’t recognize her.

Meredith walked back in the forest. “ I will get some wood, let’s make a bonfire” Xavier said excitedly with children cheering and running up to her mother who laid down on a blanket under the summer sun.

Xavier walked in the forest and found Meredith there. “I didn’t expect to ever see you,” Xavier said and Meredith couldn’t help but smile. “At first though I was imagining you.” He looked all over her. “Look at you!” he exclaimed. “Still as gorgeous as I remember.” Her cheeks reddened from a compliment from an old friend.

“I hope you tell your wife that too.” She picked on him.

He looked down on his feet chuckling. “She gets a few more compliments from me. She keeps fighting me to not smother her with my awe of her every day.”

“let me guess. You take it as a challenge and smother even more.” Meredith raised her eyebrow in a cheeky smile.

Xavier laughed at that. “You know me so well its like you never left.” He joked but it quickly turned into sorrow.

“I’m glad you are happy and have family,” Meredith said genuinely with a soft smile and Xavier looked down and chuckled.

“Yea… me too. What about you?” he asked, “Are you happy?”

She nodded sweetly. She was happy with a few unfortunate events but she was truly happy. Happier than she would have ever been in the pack. “I had twins…” she said with melancholy fogging her mind, but still smiled. “ I am happy. I just never knew parenthood would sometimes be so heartbreaking,” she smirked through the pain.

“I assume having children with Death has some cons to it,” Xavier said not in a mean way but just to make sure Meredith knew that he was aware of some parts of her life, her smile suddenly died down, shocked by his sentence.

“How…”’ she asked, confused.

“When you ran away… Some people came looking for a water nymph who is associated with Death. They all explained that Death is holding you captive and that any information would help for your case,” Xavier explained.

“I know that you didn’t say anything,” Meredith said confidently.

“Of course, because I knew that you ran away with him, I figured that he was with you the night you ran?” He asked and Meredith nodded. “Be careful Meredith. I looked for some information and found about the prophecy. I know that your children have got the best mother they could wish for.” He said and a tear appeared in Meredith’s eye. He didn’t even know all the circumstances but was so confident in that.

Meredith smiled at him but she knew she needed to go before tears would drop out. “You have beautiful children Xavier and a wife. I just wanted to see you and make sure everything turned out fine for you.”

“Maybe I can visit you in the place where you are living?” Xavier asked but Meredith shook her head smiling.

“I don’t have a long life to live,” she explained, “I came to say goodbye,” she said. “I think it’s best if I go.”

“Are you sick?” he asked worriedly.

She held a smile. So soft and kind. “No.” she whispered. “I only know my time. It’s not long away. but don’t worry.” She told him even though Xavier would spend the next few weeks wondering and thinking of her. “It’s my time. I lived a great life. A happy life.”

She took steps back knowing the more she was there the more she wanted to stay.

“Goodbye Meredith” Xavier said for the last time and wondering feeling if she was all right washed away from him. He knew that life for her wasn’t very easy but she was happy and it was what she was supposed to do. She wasn’t supposed to have an easy life, but that didn’t stop her from loving and being loved.

And once was the day that Meredith came home from her nightly ritual for the last time. Death never said her exact time of death to her. Meredith only knew the year.

But Death knew. He didn’t let a single tear slip his eye while spending their last moments together. His soul broke knowing he was kissing her the last time. Feeling her warm touch on earth for the last time.

Her time stopped. She took her last breath in Death’s arms. A cloud walked upon the Murrell family. For a moment they were grief-stricken. But after some time there was a garden of flowers in the soil where her body laid.

A garden loved even without bloom.

No one had ever seen Death in love… Meredith gave Death the greatest gift. Death’s heart now had someone to love, to look after. His love never died down.

Their love kept living for centuries.

Death wasn’t supposed to love but even gods have no power over love.

And when Death looked upon his sacredly lost love he knew…Even eternity wouldn’t be long enough…
