Kimberly POV
Darkness. That was all I could see. I was awake but I couldn’t seem to move my body. I heard muffled screams but couldn’t recognize where they were coming from.
Just then a bright light shone into my eyes.
“Kimberly! Kimberly!”
“Who’s speaking?” I asked looking around but couldn’t find anyone just the voice.
“It’s me Miaka. You need to wake up okay, we all need you to wake up. Kaleb is losing it every second and he might do something he’s going to regret later.”
“But I can’t.” I tried moving but I still couldn’t. “I can’t move Miaka”.
“Relax, take a deep breath and channel your thoughts towards the one person you want to see the most. The energy from that person will make you able to wake”.
“Okay”. I took a deep breath and thought about one person, Kaleb. The more I thought about him I felt my body lifting up and finally I opened my eyes.
“Kimberly! Oh my gosh, you scared me!” Miaka exclaimed as she hugged me tightly.
“Maika what’s happening?” I asked still trying to grasp the situation at hand.
“Melinda shot you with her magical light, you should have been dead by now but I used my healing powers to save you”. She paused and observed me “are you feeling any discomfort?”
“No I’m fine”.
Just then I heard Kaleb growl loudly. “Melinda!!”
The temperature dropped more than it has ever done. I couldn’t see his face but I knew he was really angry.
Melinda screamed and fell on the ground.
“Aaaaaah, please stop.” She pleaded.
“I’ve given you more than enough chances to change your ways but you refused, remember I told you I’m going to deal with you for all you’ve done to me and my brother, well your punishment begins now” Kaleb said
Just then Melinda’s body started swelling and turning red. She kept on screaming and begging him to stop but he turned deaf ear to her plead, everyone stood by the sideline and watched as Kaleb dealt with Melinda. No one would dare to stand between Kaleb right now.
Melinda body kept swelling and when her body couldn’t expand further she burst into pieces, he blood splashing on the walls and floor of the room.
I was horrified. I haven’t seen Kaleb this angry once. “Kaleb?” I called out his name hoping he would listen.
He turned swiftly and ran to me. He hugged me tightly and gave me kisses all over my face.
“Kimberly don’t you scare me like that again” he said and hugged me again this time tighter than before.
“Ummm, Kaleb I think you’re squeezing too hard”.
He released his hands and chuckled. He carried me bridal style as we walked out of the room.
Three months later……
“Will you Kimberly Brown take Kaleb Eustis to be your lawful wedded husband till death do you part?” The priest said reciting the marriage vows
I looked up to the Man I loved and answered “yes I do”.
“You may now kiss the bride”.
Kaleb wasted no time as he cupped my face with his hands and took my lips in his. This felt amazing. Everything was perfect.
At the reception I walked towards dad and mum and gave them a massive hug.
“Congratulations pumpkin” dad said
“Yes baby, congratulations” mum chipped in.
So after the incident at the ball that almost took my life. Kaleb’s mum although grudgingly accepted me as her daughter-in-law. Dad explained what happened to him.
On his way back from work, he decided to take the alley and there he had seen an Incubus drain the life of an innocent lady. The Incubus attacked him and left him at the point of death but he was saved by some hunters who were also out looking for that incubus. They treated him and offered him the position to become a hunter else his memory would be wiped and that would include the memory of his family too. He didn’t want to forget his family, so he decided to become a hunter but still watched me and mum from afar.
Melinda had approached him and compelled him to thinking that I was held hostage by Kaleb and that explains the shoot out at his office and him trying to get rid of Kaleb at the ball too.
It turns out that Melinda was also the one attacking and killing those vampires in order to set Kaleb up and make him loose his title making everyone think that an ancient had risen.
Now everything was back to normal and dad and mum had got back together although mum still doesn’t know about Incubus. We decided to keep it that way else she would freak out.
I never heard from Kieth but Maria said he had travelled back and wasn’t planning on coming back.
“Hey babe” my husband came and gave me a peck on my cheeks. “Why don’t we ditch the reception and go do something fun”, he said sucking my earlobes.
Ever since I became immortal. Yes I did. A ritual was carried out and Kaleb converted me through his blood. So now I was an Incubus too and would stay by kaleb’s side forever.
“Hmmm, I like the sound of that”, I giggled as I took his hands and ran out of the hall.
The car was waiting for us already. We bade everyone goodbye as we drove away to start a new chapter of our life.
THE END
