EPILOGUE
His face was leering at me from out of the darkness, and behind him were his hands. I knew those hands so intimately, it seemed. Every one of the thousand of them. Some held the holy books we’d beat him with, some held whips and knives, guns, swords, and candles. Every way he’d ever hurt me was manifest in this one image, and his eyes rolled, searching for me. Hoping to see me, to burn me, to spear me. Maybe I’d start to bleed if he caught me. Maybe I’d die. I didn’t know, but then, his gaze met mine and that maniacal grin got wider.
I sat up straight in bed, shaking and panting, a scream frozen on my lips and a cold sweat sliding down my back. I looked at Gerard, asleep beside me, and shivered. It’s so hard to love the man who wears the same face as the only person I’ve ever truly feared, but I manage. In the daylight, when he laughs, when he smiles, I know who he is. But here, in the darkness, it’s so hard to tell. When the flame from the candle casts shadows across his face, darkening and making his eyes seem to move…
I can’t look at him. We’ve grown so much closer, so much stronger now. Together, we’ve become so much more than we were. But all of it seemed as precariously balanced as a feather on a knife blade. One wrong move, one harsh word, and it seemed like it would all disappear in a swirl of gray mist, and we’d find ourselves back there, among the books and the candles, trapped in our prisons of both skin and wood. I couldn’t tell him of these nightmares, and he wouldn’t tell me of his. But we knew, both of us, and we knew that only time could help it to fade. When the sun rose tomorrow, the world would seem alright again, the night ghasts reduced to memories. We had weddings to plan. Ray and Lesley first, then Mikey and Alicia. Bob and Amy, followed by Frank and Jamia. And then us. People were speculating about who I was. My face has changed in the two years since I left Las Vegas, and I haven’t called my parents yet. I don’t know what I’d tell them. Amy has the same problem. We have new social security numbers, new identities, supplied by the money from the band. The girls buried in the back yard were dug up and I don’t know quite what was done with them. The house was demolished. We were tying up the loose ends, so we could start again. But it always felt hollow, always felt like we were holding our breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. I didn’t really believe that Gee was gone. I think he was just out there, waiting, biding his time until he could find some new way to hurt us. I didn’t know. I didn’t know. Oh, God, why weren’t we warned? Why didn’t you help us? Why didn’t you stop him? Why didn’t we know?
A/N: Okay guys, here’s the epilogue. Now, as you may have guessed, I’m toying with the idea of making a sequel. I dunno… I’m going to let this universe take a little rest, and I’m going to go and work on this other plot bunny which has been slowly nibbling my ears off. Let me know what you liked, what you didn’t like, and what you think. I’m always working to make the stories better, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks bunches, dearests, for reading, and major thanks to all you who left such awesome responses to this. I’m also working on going through and beefing up the areas that are a bit bony. Which means that yes, eventually, I’ll have a new ‘final battle’ scene worked out. As it is, my vocabulary is lacking the words to describe the mental pictures I have. Still, keep an eye out. Also, thanks for reading this small novel of an author’s note.
