His Possession

Chapter Forty Three: Last Goodbyes

Damon

My hurt turned to anger as I carefully placed Amelia's body on the floor. I dashed of downstairs and picked up Christiana's dead body.

"YOU DID THIS!" I screamed as I chucked her body through the front door, causing it to smash into pieces. "YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"No Damon." I heard Joe say behind me holding Amelia's body. "This is all on you."

He was right. It was all my fault. I did this to her. I just wish I could rewind.

I sat down as I saw Xavier standing in front of Amelia's casket. I was so happy to know her name now. It was beautiful like her.

Tears started to cloud my vision. Why did she have to go so soon? She didn't deserve to die.

"I didn't know Amelia for that long but I'm glad for the time I have known her." Xavier started. "She accepted me for who I am. For my choice of gender I prefer. She didn't look at me different. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be with Andy today. She showed me my soul mate and she has helped make me the happiest man alive. I can't thank her enough. I'm going to miss her bubbly energy."

Xavier sat down and Andy held him as he cried. I couldn't help but cry too. Next it was Samantha's turn.

"From the second I met Amelia, I knew she was different than the others. She was strong and brave. She had a feisty attitude but along with that, she had a warm heart. She would make you laugh and just seeing her smile made you smile. She was a bright ray of sunshine and one of the best people I have ever known. She will never be forgotten."

Samantha sat down and I held her as she sobbed into my shoulder.

Tommy got up and wanted to say some words.

"I only met Amelia the one time but we had fun. She played Call Of Duty with me and was fun to be around. It was even more fun when we had a food fight. We ended up covered in orange juice and egg mayo." He chuckled slightly as he sobbed. "She was a nice person. She didn't deserve to die."

He went and sat by Claire whilst he sobbed. That's when I realised it was my turn to speak.

I slowly rose and walked to her casket before turning to face the small group of people. I looked to Damon who sat at the front looking at the ground. I'm glad he's hurt and feels regret. I hope it eats him alive.

"Amelia touched the lives of many people with her warm smile and kind soul. She was beautiful and smart. If you were having a crappy day and saw her smiling, you couldn't help but smile as well. She would laugh and you would laugh as it was contagious. You could never be sad around her. I remember when Xavier got her drunk and she danced around singing a song from The Lion King about killing Damon." I said the last bit with a slight chuckle which caused Xavier to smile slightly as he remembered that night as well. I took a deep breath before continuing.

"The first day I met her, she was so strong and determined. All she ever wanted to be free and now she finally is. I know wherever she is now, she's happy and free. No matter what life threw at her, she found a way to push through it and live on. She would smile even if she felt like crying.

She said she hated Damon which was true, but she also loved him. She never admitted it to his face but she did. I saw the way she would look at him. No matter what he has done, she still loved him. She may have had a mate which Damon killed but I knew that to her, Damon was her true mate. She would have never admitted it though but she did love Damon. I bet she still does no matter what he did. She always did see try to see the good in everyone.

I loved her like she was my own daughter. I tried to take care of her the best I could. I hated seeing her hurt and I hated seeing her cry. She deserved to be happy. She deserved to be loved. I love her and now I feel like there is a hole in my heart that will never be filled. She was family to me."

I then turned to face the open casket. I looked down onto her lifeless face.

"I'm so sorry I did not make it in time to save you." I cried as I placed my hand onto hers.

I removed my hand from hers and closed the casket down before turning to walk away.

There was a bang as wood splinters flew in all directions. We all took cover, ensuring it didn't splinter our hearts.

I slowly looked over to the now destroyed casket to find Amelia crouched, red eyes blazing and lips curled up over her teeth as she snarled.

"Holy shit!" I gasped in shock.

Amelia was alive...And a vampire.

Author's Note

This was so emotional to write, especially Joe's bit! I even teared up writing it.

But who was shocked by the gobsmacking ending?! Amelia is alive...And a Vampire!!! :O

Who did not see that coming?

Oh and as you can see for those re-reading this book, I have changed the ending and that is purely due to the fact that it was basically a Twilight ending. I wanted to put my own label on how you find out she is a vampire so here is the new ending. Hopefully you all like it :)
