Mak takes Rhea's lifeless body back to her family. He tells her mother and brother, Rafe, about what happened and fills them in on the details.

Rafe and his mother are devastated by the news. Rafe remembers his sister before all of this, her laugh, her joy, and how much she loved her mother, and he can't believe that she is gone forever.

They decide to cremate her body and return to their hometown of Freeridge.

✥✥✥

As the days pass, a deep sadness settles over Mak as he reflects on the loss of his beloved Rhea.

Mak is overwhelmed with emptiness and pain as he tries to adjust to life without Rhea. He is haunted by memories of her and constantly imagines what could have been if only the outcome had been different.

His brothers try to comfort him, but their attempts do little to help the situation. There is a feeling of loss that lingers and lingers, and Mak feels as if he has lost a part of himself along with Rhea.

Every day, something reminds him of her, and he feels like he cannot escape this terrible sadness.

"My sister is gone." Rafe cries out as his mother holds him tight in her warmth.

As the memorial service for Rhea begins, a somber atmosphere pervades the room.

Everyone who knew Rhea, including her high school friends Carmen, Sophie, Brian, and many more, has gathered around to pay their respects.

Some weren't even her friends tbh, they just wanted to show some respect.

Tears are flowing down many individuals' eyes as they express how much they miss her and how much of a positive effect she had on their lives.

As the service draws to a close and everyone disperses, there is a sense of emptiness and loss that lingers in the air.

"Why the fuck is Sophie here?" I noticed the girl who had a problem with Rhea.

"And why is she crying." Marcus noticed

"I'm going to kill that bitch." Malachi said

I pushed him back, "Didn't you have an affair with her brother?"

"For the millionth time, me and her didn't do anything! I drank from her and that was all." Malachi said annoyed

"Mhm."

✥✥✥

After the memorial service, everyone departs, leaving behind an empty room with only Rhea's ashes.

Mak sits next to her ashes, feeling the emptiness of the room and the weight of the silence all around him.

He is alone in his sadness, and he feels the pain of the loss of Rhea intensely.

He takes one last look at her ashes, remembering all the times they shared, their stories, and their love.

Tears flow down his cheeks, as the realization hits that Rhea is truly gone and he will never see her again.

"I'm sorry this happened to you my beloving Rhea. You'll always be here with me." Mak pointed at his dead heart.

Mak walks out of the memorial service room and immediately notices the black cars and his brothers standing and talking with Rhea's mother and brother.

Mak's brothers are trying to comfort Rhea's family, but there is a sad aura between them all.

"Thank you, guys, for trying your best to protect her, I know she's a handful sometimes." Rhea's mother laughs a little.

I gave her a warm smile.

"Well--We'll be going back to the house, you guys are more than welcome to come in."

"Rafe are you ready to go."

Rafe doesn't say anything or do anything-but cry. "Aw, come here." his mother said

Rafe falls in his mother grasps, "I miss her! I knew she shouldn't have left us." he cried

"I know." his mother held him tightly

I noticed a tear falling out of Rhea's mother's eye. I couldn't bear to watch this. This had to be my fault- her death had to be my fault all because I wanted to die. Malachi was right, it should've been me and not her.

Marcus and Milo helped Rhea's mother and Rafe get inside the warm comfy black car. I stood there standing with my hands inside my black coat. "Coming brother?" Milo asked as he closed the door for them.

"I'm just going to stay here for a little while if that's fine."

Milo nods his head- understanding me.

I lay on the road on my back, staring at the night sky just reminiscing about everything.

I saw a sudden flash of light brightening up my skin as I lay there on the ground.

The car stopped as they noticed my body on the ground, "hello? Are you okay?" a woman's voice spoke

"No."

"Well, what happened?" she asked slightly scared.

I can feel her heartbeat as it beats faster. "Are you scared?"

She hesitated to respond, "uh, no." she lied

"Come closer."

"What is your name and what happened to you, sir?" she asked from a distance

"I'll tell you if you come closer."

The woman's footsteps echoed in my vamp ears. "Do I need to call an ambulance or the police or something?"

"I don't know, do you?" I asked nonchalantly

"Sir! What happened to you." her voice getting louder

"Are you yelling at me?" I sat up still on the ground, facing away from her.

"Yes! Because I have places to go." her voice sounding harsh

I stood up off the ground cleaning the dirt and dust off my jacket. Finally turning around face to face with a short brunette-haired woman with glasses.

"Sir-

I flash towards her with my vamp speed holding her tightly against her truck, "What are you doing!?"

"Please don't make a noise."

"What?"

I held down onto her neck and bit my fangs into her veins deep- sucking her blood dry. She was flinching and trying to get away but finally, her muscles relaxed as I realized she was finally dead under my grasp. "Sweet dreams," I whispered

As I drank from her aggressively, I accidentally ripped her head off her body. "Oh no, what happened," I said not giving a fuck

I opened the car door putting her in the driver's seat and her head back in place. "Sorry," I muttered finally closing the door shut.

I wiped the Leftover blood off my face, her blood wasn't as good as Rhea's but it was for sure something...

✥✥✥

"Where have you been?" Marcus asked as I snuck inside a house- (we killed a family for.)

They all sat on the couches glaring confusingly. "Yeah, where were you, Mak?" Malachi interfere

"I already told Milo that I was going to stay back for a little bit."

"He did say that."

"Mhm to stay back?" Malachi walked towards me

I scrunched my face up from his sudden behavior. "What's this?" he pointed at a blood mark on my white skin.

"The fuck are you?! Sherlock Holmes?"

"Brother," he said

"Just a snack."

"I thought we planned on changing our ways, for Rhea." Milo stood up from his seat disappointed

The mention of Rhea touched me, "Rhea?" I said

"Rhea is gone, my emotions are heightened, my feelings are drowning me, I need something to keep my mind off her," I spoke up

"I'm the reason for her death! I don't need a fucking reminder for the rest of my life." I took my jacket off.

"No, no you're not Mak," Marcus said

I sighed annoyingly, "Look, I'll try my best to make it right, not just for me but for her as well. I just need time."

"Mhm." They said
