It was hard to control Dana and I ended out having to bite her. That’s when we moved to LA. In our little cabin. We hunted animals mostly, and only killed humans out of pure necessity. Eventually I had killed so many people, I trained myself to believe that it was purely for survival.

Then I remembered Bette. How guilty she’d felt when she killed Faye Buckley. I felt that way when I killed Lara. When had I allowed myself to forget that? I could be a vampire that doesn’t kill. I was like that for many years before my brother’s death. What had changed that?

Bette has returned to me my humanity. My soul.

Bette.

Where are you Bette? Please be okay, I need you.

My eyes opened slowly. I was in the cabin. Dana, Shane, Alice and Carmen were on one side of me and Dylan was on the other side. I looked down at my body. The pain was gone. There was no pain left, there was only a scar on my chest and on my side.

I sat up weakly, "Bette!"

"Tina," Bette said appearing next to me instantly, "oh God you’re okay!"

"Bette!" I sobbed pulling her into a tight hug, "I was so scared to lose you."

"So was I baby," Bette said hanging onto me tightly.

I turned to Dylan and said, "thank you so much Dylan. You are a good witch."

"And you guys are good vampires, I wish the other witches could see that there are some good ones out there," Dylan said, "one day there will be a witch who will be powerful and influential who can unite vampires and witches."

"I hope so Dyl," Alice said.

I turned to them all and noticed the blood on Dana’s shirt. I looked at her, "well Dane, we’re even. I saved your life, you saved mine. Thank you." I turned to Shane, Carmen, and Alice, "I could never thank you guys enough for everything that you did for me."

"Why does this sound like a goodbye?" Carmen said looking sad.

Shane smiled wisely and said, "because she’s ready to move on."

Dana stood up, "I will miss you Tina."

I stood up and pulled her into a hug, "goodbye Dana."
