Fractured

Third Place Contest Entry

Here is Tammy's take on Fractured's last scene. I hope you all enjoying reading it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Death. It was everywhere. There was just his army and me standing. I had no intention to let them win. It just happened. I hate that. I know people say that winning isn't everything, but in this situation, it is. At this moment, winning means that you get to live another day. It means that through everything that happened, you're still alive. But now, I'm just hoping that when I die, I'll get to see Olivia again.

"STOP!" I heard Izzy's words rumble through the battlefield. Her father looked down at her, surprised that she was there.

"Dad, I want you to stop." Her gentle voice rang out. I could hear the sadness in it. Her voice was full of grief, not only for losing her mother but from almost losing me, too.

He looked at her like she had grown two heads. "But, Isabella, he killed your brother and your mother."

"You're wrong. He didn't kill Eric. Rouges captured Eric. When Logan went to save him, he chose to fight and died in battle. And mother's death was your fault." She choked out.

He fell to his knees, obviously ashamed of himself. He held back tears. His eyes locked on mine and for a second, I thought I saw guilt in his eyes.

"I surrender. I give up. I give my Alpha title to Logan Blackwell. I am sorry my love," he whispered the last part. Then, he finally broke down. He sobbed. And I knew exactly how he felt. It had never gone away. That feeling when you lose that one person that was made just for you. It felt like someone ripped out your heart and smashed it into a million of little pieces. I was done with that feeling. I was done with feeling alone. And with that, I felt the sense of loss slowly fade away. I felt free.

Izzy then broke into a sprint towards me. But before she could say anything, I put my finger on her lips, and I kissed her. I just needed to feel her lips on mine. Let me just say. It felt one hundred times better, now that I feel free. And I realized, even though I haven't known her for long, I loved her. I loved her more than I realized.

Then it hit me. I am now Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack. I am still Alpha. I sprang up, still full of bruises, and I carried Izzy and spun her around. I was overjoyed.

"Calm down now, Alpha," Izzy teased me. Her vibrant blue held grief, but they still danced. I was proud of her for holding on so long.

Even though I didn't get my happily ever after with Olivia, I am sure going to get one with Izzy. Because now I am no longer living with loss, I am living with happiness.

"I love you so much," I told her. Her eyes widened, not expecting me to say that. I put her down scared of how she would respond

"I love you more," she crooned. And this time, Olivia's memory didn't haunt me. I leaned forward and pressed her lips against mine. No more nightmares, no more grief, only happiness. And that was enough truth to last a lifetime.
