Nightingale's point of view412Please respect copyright.PENANAChwqAEyQCr
I burst through the library doors and run to mom.412Please respect copyright.PENANAHcHvSBaNkq
"MOM!" I hug her.412Please respect copyright.PENANAbc9a5ZsOmn
"Nightingale! Oh, my baby!" She pulls me close. "Where's your father?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAa0uXroM049
"Right here."412Please respect copyright.PENANADSgPEOBsBB
Mom looks up. "Dracula. I have something to tell you. You also, Nightingale." She lets go and walks over to dad. I turn around and watch as she puts her hand on his cheek. "Oh, Vlad."412Please respect copyright.PENANAaRXVyKRBIO
"Elisabeta? Oh my God. How are you even—"412Please respect copyright.PENANATmBsemBaA1
"Alive?" She smiles. "You saved my soul. Really, you did. Me being who I am is actually the real reason why you got a child. Not because you had been drinking my blood."412Please respect copyright.PENANAqVnGfeLc0o
"I lied when I said that I couldn't drink your blood because you reminded me too much of yourself. It's the effect your blood had on me. I felt like I was being healed or something."412Please respect copyright.PENANA3v3cGJZ58f
"It's because of who I am. It's also because when you saved my soul, I got powers of healing. So if someone came in contact with my blood, all of their sins would go away and they'd feel like they're healing. But I tried to keep it contained for you. Lucifer told me you'd be different, but I didn't think you'd be this different."412Please respect copyright.PENANAh1DwJ6bA0R
"What all did Lucifer tell you?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAWAivfeeuTq
"Many things. He also gave me three locks with a key."412Please respect copyright.PENANAeivzhCcvQU
"Why? What are they for?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAwhv6iOkUi2
"One contains your soul, one your shadow, and the other contains your reflection. If I unlock them, you'll get back all three."412Please respect copyright.PENANAklmvjDMoLn
He pulls her close. "I don't need any of them. All I need is you. You are my everything. You are more than any of the three of those things could ever be. You are my missing piece. Not anything else."412Please respect copyright.PENANAUAUpUF0ZcW
She steps onto his feet and stands on her tippy toes. She kisses him. "I love you, Vlad."
"I love you more."412Please respect copyright.PENANAmu7jsP9BVR
"I love you most." She wraps her arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around her waist.412Please respect copyright.PENANAaJNlG0snGM
"My beloved Elisabeta."412Please respect copyright.PENANA53BPwLnEPv
She smiles.412Please respect copyright.PENANALFs1xu5qZE
"What about me?"412Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mxko79wK3
I turn around and see a woman. "Who are you?"412Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ4XkCOTam
She walks closer and puts her hands on my shoulders. "I'm your older sister."412Please respect copyright.PENANAgo4ymilEJe
I turn around and hug her. She hugs me back. Mom and dad come over and next thing you know, we're all hugging each other. One happy family. Best family ever!412Please respect copyright.PENANAcKIfKx7YuJ
