Final Chapter:

The End is the Beginning is the End

 

 

 

_Justin's P.O.V_

 

 

Cold. I feel cold. What the hell just happened? I can feel my body becoming lighter, kind of like a feather. I'm not completely sure what is going on around me but I can hear loud noises and screams. Okay, the guy behind me has let me go...I know because I'm slowly coming back down to the ground. Why the fuck is everything going slower? I ran my hand over my face and I'm sweating. My hand travels lower and hits something. It feels like wood. I look down and my question is answered. I raise my hand so that I can see it and it's covered in blood. My blood.

 

 

Everything speeds up and I'm now aware of what is happening around me.

 

 

_Brian's P.O.V_

 

 

---a few moments earlier---

 

 

Reichen staked Justin. Reichen. Staked. Justin. I...I don't know what to...do. I'm suddenly overcome with so many emotions that I don't know which one to act on.

 

 

Rage. Disbelief. Fury. Hatred. Anger. Violence...that's the one.

 

 

All I remember is reaching around behind me and ripping the crossbow away from the vampire behind me and shooting him directly in the heart. I didn't even wait to see if he died before I set my sights on Reichen. I didn't think about Eric, Sookie, or Jason. They could handle themselves. All I thought about was Reichen...staking the love of my everlasting life. I saw red in that moment.

 

 

"What are you going to do Brian? My little Brian, do you really think that you could possibly do anything to me?" I heard Reichen but I didn't register even a word. It wasn't a question of doing anything to him. There was no question. I WAS going to kill him. I AM. Right the fuck now! I glanced behind him and saw Justin reach down and touch the splintered piece of wood protruding from his beautiful chest. When he brought his hand into his line of sight, I saw the sheer terror written on his face and in his eyes.

 

 

At that moment, he made eye contact with me and it was clear. I broke our stare and looked directly at Reichen. I took a step forward and watched as he stepped back, now flush with the house.

 

 

"Oh Reichen. I should owe you a debt of gratitude shouldn't I?" I said as I took another step forward. My voice was a deadly calm and I made eye contact with him. "You've always taken care of everything for me haven't you?" I could tell from the expression on his putrid face that he was confused.

 

 

"That's right Brian...I have. And why wouldn't I? When I created you, I was astounded at how brilliant of a killer you'd become. Your animalistic instinct and your stoic personality. The perfect heir. The perfect killer. I didn't account that I'd care for you so much, but who wouldn't. You're a beautiful predator." I listened to his little dictation for his actions while I took steps closer to him. Of course, in his own smug way, he didn't notice that with every word he spoke...the anger inside me was building to a dangerous peak.

 

 

"Well, Reichen, you did it. You made me the perfect predator." I said as I brought my hand to his cheek and stroked it gently. It took every ounce of control in my body to just touch and not tear. But when I saw him smile and reach for my cheek, I grabbed his wrist and pinned it to the house. I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a sterling silver knife. Quicker than he could block me, I drove the knife through his wrist and into the wood of the house.

 

 

"Funny isn't it? I may have missed that night but not tonight." I said as I pulled out the second knife and drove it through his other wrist. "See, I don't keep silver anywhere near me but the caterers in Alaska were more than happy to give me these. Solid silver, no impurities. A nice gesture is it not?" I said as I twisted the two handles in deeper. I know that the silver was scorching my flesh but at that moment, I could feel nothing other than the anger.

 

 

"Very clever Brian. But what are these supposed to do? These are merely a scratch, nothing more." He said in his ever-growing smugness. I couldn't help but smile.

 

 

"You stupid fucker. These are just to hold you in place." I said to his now confused face.

 

 

Wearing an almost frightening grin, I placed both of my hands on either side of his face. I looked deep into his eyes.

 

 

"I'll see you in hell...but not today." Were the last words I spoke to him before I tightened my grip on his jawline and jerked his head to the left...hard. I heard the snap and repeated the motion, to the right this time. And with one fluid motion, I used every ounce of strength in my body as I ripped his head from his neck. I watched as his body jerked violently against the silver knives pinning him to the house. I stepped back a few feet and picked up the arrow from the other vampire's body. I walked back toward a headless Reichen and drove the arrow directly into his chest.

 

 

_Justin's P.O.V_

 

 

I could feel my body beginning to shiver. I was freezing. I closed my eyes and tried to will away the pain but it wasn't working at all. The sound of Brian's voice kept me from falling into the inevitable shock. I opened my eyes and saw Brian's final act with his maker. I watched as blood splattered over everything. It was then that I couldn't fight the chill that was taking me over.

 

 

I closed my eyes and began breathing shallower and quicker.

 

 

That's when I felt the familiar arms wrap around me and engulf me in a tender embrace. I felt cool hands run through my sweat-slicked hair, making me shiver harder. But what was even more powerful than my shaking was the feeling of Brian trembling over me.

 

 

 

_Brian's P.O.V_

 

 

 

I was holding my most precious possession in my arms, feeling the life slowly leaving him. I heard his breathing coming out in short gasps and his heartbeat pattering in a slower tone. I felt Eric's hand firmly grasp my shoulder and I looked up at him, my eyes filled with gleaming unshed tears.

 

 

"Brian...he's fading. His death will be pretty much inevitable unless..."

 

 

"I don't know if I can, Eric." I cut him short. My words were dripping with the sorrow that I was feeling. It was true. I really didn't know if I could do what was needed to keep Justin as mine. I leaned my head down and caressed my cheek with the Sunshine that I loved endearingly. I heard Justin's rasping breath and leaned back to look at his beautiful face. I watched as he opened his eyes and caught my gaze weakly.

 

 

"Brian..." His breath was hitching and I could hear the small gurgle from the blood trapped in his lungs. "I...I love you." His words were short and low as his breathing was making it hard for him to speak.

 

 

I really couldn't take this torture of watching my lover fading so quickly. Sookie leaned down next to me and brought her hand to Justin's forehead.

 

 

I watched as her tears flowed freely.

 

 

"Brian, we have to take him inside. He's freezing." She said as I nodded my head.

 

 

I gathered Justin up into my arms and made my way up the stairs of the porch and into the house. I placed him on the couch and sat at his feet. Looking around the room, I saw the pained eyes of Sookie and Jason. But when I reached Eric, I knew what he was thinking before he ever said it.

 

 

"Brian, I know that you don't want to do this but it's really the only way that you'll be able to keep him. Look at him, he's slipping away fast. I know how you feel about him. Do you really want to let the only person you've cared about in over 200 years slip through your fingers?" He whispered the last bit into my ear secretly and I appreciated it. His tone was rarely as caring as it was at this moment and I knew that tone. The tone that usually meant that he was exactly right. I had never allowed myself to care for another soul in over 200 years, and I knew I wouldn't love again after this. What should I do? God, I hate feeling like this.

 

 

I looked down at the angelic face of my love. His face was almost ghostly white, eyes closed yet hollowed, and sweat trickling from his beautiful blond hair. It was then that I knew what I had to do. I looked up from Justin's body and locked eyes with Eric. He nodded his head once and I repeated his action. I gathered Justin up into my arms and made my way toward the stairs. The door of Justin's room was open and welcoming as I took Justin to the queen sized bed. I gently laid his body on the soft comforter and positioned myself next to him. I placed my hands on either side of his face and gently patted his cheek.

 

 

"Justin? Justin..." I watched as his eyes opened slightly and he looked around as if he were dazed. "Justin...I need you to listen to me carefully. I have to do this so that you won't die. Alright? I have to drain you but it won't hurt. When I tell you to, you have to drink as much as possible from me. Do you understand Sunshine?" His eyes were battling to stay open but he nodded his understanding.

 

 

I extracted my fangs and steadied Justin, sinking my teeth into his porcelain smooth neck. I felt his muscles tense momentarily but they soon relaxed into my bite. His cooling blood tasted like heaven on my tongue. A taste that I would forever miss after this. His scent invaded my nostrils, filling them with the gentle smell that was purely his. That too would be missed. I continued drinking until I felt his heart almost come to a stand still. I pulled my mouth away from his neck and quickly bit my wrist, hard. I placed it at his mouth and instructed him to drink.

 

 

I felt his cool lips wrap around my wrist as he slowly sucked. He drank continuously until I felt a tingling sensation that signaled that he had drank enough of me. I removed my wrist from his blood-stained lips and sealed our wounds. I watched as he just laid there. Nothing. I waited for a long while and just watched him. I saw Eric standing at the doorway, it was almost dawn. He silently walked across the room and put two small sheets of wood over the windows and secured them in place.

 

 

I looked down at Justin's still form once again, still no change. I felt Eric's hand on my shoulder as I looked up at him. This time, my tears flowed of their own accord. I pulled my lips into my mouth and screwed my face up, trying to keep some of the tears at bay. I looked directly into his eyes and slowly shook my head. I watched as Eric closed his eyes tight and squeezed my shoulder slightly.

 

 

"Do you want to stay with him a while longer?" He asked me barely above a whisper. All I could do was nod my head slightly. "Alright my friend. The sun will be up soon so I'd try to get some sleep. I'm sorry Brian. I really am." The words came out with genuine sorrow and they just made my tears roll faster.

 

 

Eric left the room without another word as I laid my head next to Justin's. I traced my fingers over his cherry lips, thinking of all the kisses that would never be. I moved my hand and ran my fingers over the long blond eyelashes, remembering the ocean blue eyes that I would never look into again. My fingers ran patterns over his smooth cold skin and up into his silky hair.

 

 

I began to softly speak to him, not worrying about my shaking voice. "You were the love of my life. The only one who saw me for me. No judgments, no presumptions, just me. But in my heart, I knew it was too good to be true. You were too good for the likes of me, a soulless monster. A creature of darkness that only wanted one thing...Sunshine." The last word I spoke was in a strangled, breathless whisper. My tears flowed like a river as I continued to run my hands down his stiff body. They came to a stop next to the splintered wood in his chest. I furrowed my brows and wrapped my hand around the protrusion. I gently tugged the wood from it's resting place and looked at it. I had never thought that the only thing that could kill me would be a stake through the chest of another, but it was.

 

 

I gripped the stake tighter, feeling the splinters pierce my skin. I welcomed the slight pain as I pulled the wood up to my own chest. The point of the wood was positioned over my no longer beating heart. I closed my eyes tight and pressed the wood hard against my skin, willing myself to plunge it into my chest.

 

 

"You have the Sunshine." My eyes flew open as I heard the soft words spoken. I blinked for a moment before turning to my right. I was met with a set of the brightest blue eyes, eyes that I convinced myself were gone.

 

 

_Justin's P.O.V_

 

 

The look of sheer love on Brian's face broke my heart and made me want to fly at the same time. I looked into the hazel eyes that I feared I would never see again and smiled. When my eyes left his, they found the stake planted firmly against his chest. My smile disappeared when I realized what he was going to do. I looked back into his eyes with sorrow in my own. Reaching up, I wrapped my hand around his and pulled the wood from his chest. He let go of the stake with the slightest look of disbelief as I threw the splintered wood across the room.

 

 

"Brian..." His eyes fluttered closed when I spoke, as if he thought that I wasn't really alive. "Brian?" I once again gazed into hazel eyes.

 

 

"But...you died Justin. You were gone." He said in a choked whisper that broke my heart. A small smile crept across my face as I spoke to him.

 

 

"No...I didn't die Brian. I was just lying there, unable to move until you removed that fucking piece of wood." I chuckled to myself when the realization dawned on him.

 

 

"Goddammit." He said mostly to himself. "This is why I would've never been a good maker. Sometimes I can be really dense." That made me laugh.

 

 

"I never died. But I am feeling quite strange." I said as I ran my hand over my chest and tried to breathe.

 

 

"That I can answer. I...I had to turn you." His words were soft and ashamed. He looked away from my face.

 

 

"I know." I answered him as I cupped his jaw and turned his face back toward me. "I'm just feeling...tired I guess."

 

 

'You're weak and hungry...I have to find you something to eat my love.' I heard a faint voice in the back of my mind as I furrowed my brows. I looked at Brian and saw his look of complete and utter love.

 

 

"You're right, I am a bit hungry." I said in an almost shy tone as I smiled. My smile dimmed when I saw the look of disbelief on his face. "What?"

 

 

"I didn't say anything about you being hungry...but I was thinking it." He said in a slow drawl. I rose my eyebrows and blinked as I thought about what he just said. When I realized what was happening, I smiled to myself.

 

 

'Brian? Can you hear me?' I watched as Brian's mouth gaped slightly and a newfound smile played at his lips.

 

 

"Yeah...I can hear you Sunshine...loud and clear." He said as I smiled a mega watt smile. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed just below his ear. "I can't explain it but fuck...this is amazing." I heard his words and chuckled to myself as I kissed a line from his jaw to his mouth. With one kiss, I silenced both of our minds. Tongues battled for dominance and lips danced the all too familiar dance. We kissed with a passion neither one of us thought we'd experience again. I became so enveloped in the furious intensity of our kiss that I was totally shocked when I felt two new additions to my mouth extract. I jumped and put my hand over my mouth, running my fingers over the razor sharp extractions.

 

 

I watched as Brian smiled and looked at me through lust-hooded eyes. His beautiful hands traced a path from my arm to my jaw. The cool feeling that had always accompanied his touch was gone, replaced by a warm sensation. His fingers traced my jawline and made their way to my new born fangs. A small drop of blood trickled down his thumb and I slowly drew my tongue across the wound, healing it. He removed his hand from my mouth and began stripping me of my shirt slowly. I mimicked his action and removed his shirt, exposing the smooth chest that I loved. I ran my hands over the expanse and moaned at the touch of his hand on my chest. I felt his hand travel to the back of my neck and slowly pull me into a searing kiss once more. I lowered my hand and lazily traced over his hardened erection through his pants. I unbuttoned and unzipped his pants as we moved upward, kneeling in front of each other. He removed his pants in a matter of moments, revealing his glorious cock. I watched as he did the same with my pants. Our clothes now adorned the floor of the room as we embraced. It was a strange action, to be hugging when we were both so turned on, but it was definitely something we both needed.

 

 

_Brian's P.O.V_

 

 

I held onto Justin's small frame as if my life depended on it. In fact, a moment ago it did. I inhaled his scent, what I expected to be gone had strengthened. When I pulled back, his eyes were in fact a brighter blue than before. It seemed that everything that I thought would have deadened became more pronounced and alive.

 

 

I wanted him more than I ever had.

 

 

I grasped his hair and angled his head as I began to plunder his mouth again. His hands moved slowly down my back and toward my hips. I let my hands follow suit, but my target was safely nestled in a silky patch of blond hair. I wrapped my hand around his smooth, hard cock and began to stroke at a painfully slow pace. Justin let out a low, husky moan into my mouth. I lowered our bodies so that we were lying on our sides. I continued to kiss him with a hunger like none other, my tongue exploring his mouth wildly. I reluctantly broke our kiss and looked into his lustful eyes.

 

 

"Turn over." I whispered in a low drawl as he kept eye contact with me until he was facing away from me. I positioned my cock at his hungry entrance and slowly began to push my way into the warm tunnel. I placed kisses on his neck, trailing my mouth from there to the delicious spot behind his ear. He whimpered when he heard my fangs extract and moaned when I carefully pierced his skin. I didn't want to drink much from him, I just wanted to feel his essence on my tongue.

 

 

I began to thrust with deep strokes, making sure that my cock brushed over his sweet spot every time. Justin was grasping my thigh, digging his nails into my skin. I moved my mouth and sank my fangs into his shoulder, eliciting another delicious moan. I heard his fangs extract when I began to quicken the pace and my cock filled him a little deeper. He turned his head so that we were making eye contact. I raked my eyes over his body, his leaking cock, and back to his mouth...seeing his virgin fangs. I pulled out of him and sat in front of him.

 

 

'I want to be close to you Sunshine...I want to see your beautiful face.' He heard my lustful thought and climbed on top of my lap, impaling himself on my cock once again. I let out a guttural moan that rivaled his. I was deeper inside that I ever thought possible. He began moving himself on my cock, up and then back down with a slow sensual speed. I turned my head as he lowered his mouth to my neck and bit down. I felt his nervousness and placed my hand firmly on his back to let him know that I was fine. When he was facing me again, I devoured his blood-stained lips.

 

 

I couldn't take it anymore.

 

 

I began to thrust up into him faster and harder. He wrapped his arms around my neck as I fucked him. He broke our kiss with a loud moan.

 

 

'I'm so close...so close.' I heard his voice in my head as I wrapped my hand around his cock. I stroked him in time with each thrust.

 

 

'I'm close too...god, so...close.' And with that, I felt him shoot onto our chests as I filled him. We came together spontaneously with mutual moans. Collapsing onto the bed, Justin was still wrapped around me. His arms were secure on my back as I pressed our foreheads together. I saw a mega watt smile appear as I leaned back and looked at him. I smiled back.

 

 

That's when I heard the sounds coming from the doorway. It shook both of us out of our dazed state to see Sookie, Eric, and Jason standing in the hallway with wide eyes. Justin blushed and covered his face. All I could do was laugh.

 

 

"Looks like everything's okay up here then." Sookie said with a smirk. Justin looked at me and smiled softly. I ran my hands through his silky hair and kissed his soft lips briefly.

 

 

"Yeah...I think everything's going to be alright for a long time." I said loud enough for everyone to hear, but low enough to still sound sensual. I turned and looked at the people in the hall and smiled. "Now...shut the fucking door."

 

 

The laughter was the only thing we heard as the door shut and we were alone...Together, forever.
