~Three Weeks Later ~

--= Rob's + POV =--

My ribs skid across my skin and I couldn't help but flinch when Lachlan rolled over, mumbling in his sleep. He knocked himself out accidentally trying to stay up so he could walk Vikk to his tent.

A small smile spreading onto my lips, I stepped silently over him and continued walking. Vikk was out cold as well, or, I hoped so. He's the only one who can probably assume what I'm doing.

"You going to visit him?" 

"Speak of the devil." Twirling around to face the moladdo coloured boy, his lips twitched upwards in a smile as my hands fiddled around, nerves jumping up and down in my stomach like grease on a pan.

I didn't need to do anything because he already knew the answer. I'm always there anyways. Vikk opening his arms up and shrugging in defeat, 

a failed laugh popped out of his lips sounding more of a breath than anything else. He sounds absolutely exhausted. Furrowing my eyebrows at this, he shook his head not wanting to point the finger on him.

"What if he doesn't want to see you?" Vikk asked. He almost seemed like he was trying to prove a point about something, but there's nothing to prove here either than my love for Preston.

"He can't tell me otherwise." I answered truthfully. Preston's face flashing clearly into my mind with his closed eyes and calm chest, my stomach twisted in knots as the silence tensed.

"......Rob...." 

"Vikk, come on, you know me better than this." My eyes picking up teardrops and hugging them tightly, ready to run out of space and drop them at any time, Vikk huffed not knowing what else to do.

Deciding that was the end of our conversation in quiet, mutual agreement, we both continued our separate directions I headed up the hill where he should be like always whenever I come by.

Passing through all the flowers making sure not to crush anything, a sliver of happiness swirled inside of me when I saw a butterfly fluttering through the flowers. Green covered the once burnt grass.

Seeing the building up ahead, I prepared myself for the worst as I jumped in there as quickly as I could, only to see him lying there yet again. Calm chested and closed eyes, sleeping.

"You always sleep whenever I visit just to spite me huh?" Kneeling down so I was sitting, I swung my leg over him so I ended up sitting in Preston's lap. It's odd how he's comfortable.

Shuffling even further down, I laid myself down and my head hung right above his head. A small smile growing on my lips the longer I gazed at Preston, my heart skidded to a stop to feel lips on mine.

Eyes widening and the lips disappearing almost immediately, Preston chuckled as he slowly wrapped his arms around my back and held me as tight as he could which made me feel like crying, 

because it didn't feel like he was even trying to put any force into it. Resting my chin on his torso, Preston nuzzled his face into my scalp and breathed in, seeming happy with us and our comfort.

"I woke up just for you each time though."

"This is true." I nodded. The small giggle that bubbled from Preston's adorable mouth making me want to melt and marry him on the spot suddenly stopped and Preston's face became unreadable.

"........Rob?" Preston spoke up. My eyes locking onto his in an instant, I felt my smirk grow even wider, this has got to be good if he pauses first before speaking like that. It always is.

"Yeah Preston?" 

"....You know how, umm, you guys used to live in that city place thing? With lots of other weird specimen." 

Preston's head cocking to the side as he said it, almost seeming confused with the massive amount, I couldn't help but chuckle a small bit to remember a certain fact.

"Preston you're part weird specimen, but, yeah?" His light brown eyes once deep in thought and confident, instantly flickered to a glazed, glassy look filled with tears and he tore his gaze to the floor.

".........Preston?" I asked. 

Reaching a hand out to Preston, he whipped his head towards me so we were inches close but this time something else was lingering around the aura. Something I wished I never felt or saw again. 

Desperation.

".....Are you going to leave me behind?" Preston choked out. His voice cracking at the word 'leave', I shook my head instantly and pulled him forcefully into my lap so I could hug him as tight as I could.

His sobs were silent, but I knew he was crying because the sound of steam hissed through my ear. Bowing my head in shame as my arms spread farther around him, 

longing for him to be happy right away I laughed as a tear of my own slipped down my face. He's making me cry, I don't want to be a sobbing mess when I get back to camp. It'll be embarrassing.

"If I ever left you behind Preston you know I would always come back to you." The answer seeming to be the right one considering he immediately slumped into me, and the shaking now a slight tremor I sighed.

"When do you think you'll be leaving camp?"

"We, will be leaving when you get better, it's nice and quiet here though so expect the opposite from the city." Preston curled his tail around me and pulled me closer to him, smiling weakly.

"Let's just rest here for a while then....." Preston reaching his hand out to mine, I intertwined my fingers with his, not helping but feeling a warm feeling swivel inside of my chest like a little fire.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." I murmured. Pressing the side of my face against his, we sat there cuddling into each other. Preston's wings wrapping around me as well so it felt like a tent I grinned.

The world was gone and it was just us, screw the world we had each other. We had the pack. We had a family. I had Preston and he had me. Yeah, we're leaving where we began, but it's just normal.

Everybody leaves, but most stick together. I just find it funny because, usually when something like this happens, there are no second chances. No way. No how. But, for us? We got one.

We got a second chance, and this time? I'm not letting him out of my sight no matter what happens. Whether it be for better or good, I will love him and follow him to the ends of the 

Earth and I know for a fact that he would do the same for me in a heartbeat. It's just what people do when they love each other, but it's instinct for soulmates. That's what we are.

Soulmates and more.

I don't want to end this book XD but this was the last chapter....Guys, I ask you of this, if I opened up another slot to open up another book inside of it, would you guys wait a while for the next book of this? I just want to know because I want to finish it off and leave it at a happy ending like this one but I also want to sort of make another book. I'm mostly positive this will be where the sequel ends even though it was short for my books but I also need to focus on other books of mine that don't actually get updated as often as I like. So, thank you guys for reading this, I'm pretty sure this is the end of the book, and, I'll see you in all of the other books to be updated and to come. 

Love, MisfortunateMC
