Recap:
Demetri, who was standing by the bonfire and after seeing Raphael's body is burned completely. He takes a moment to reflect only to realize something. His Mira.
He turns frantically looking for someone he had been yearning to meet. Then pauses before he lets a sigh of relief. When a short figure followed by a larger figure emerged from the woods. Standing on a small hill, which Demetri sped to, The figure of Tiberius came out first, the young man looked relieved as he walked out. Soon the small figure followed quickly behind him. Rosie...or Mira as she also was called. His Rosie, Demetri smiled; he seemed relieved as he saw her face. She looked around then paused when she saw his face. Her face held a relieved expression and soft smile as she looked at him.
Tiberius left them to give the two of them space. He ran over to the side of the field where everyone had gathered after to celebrate the victory. Although a few of the lower guards were looking in the woods for any strays or adding wood to the burning piles of bodies. River walked away from the Volturi slightly, looking around before her eyes went to what she was looking for. Tiberius, who ran towards them, with a wide smile. River laughed before running towards Tiberius leaping into his arms. He swung river around which was easy.
The Two of them wrapped, their arms around each other celebrating the victory. After a moment, they released their grip on each other turning to face Mira who was slowly walking up to Demetri who was just staring at Mira in disbelief. Mira had turned to look around then she realized something, this was her vision. She had before they arrived in forks. She heard him walk in front of her...she breathed a sigh of relief. The sky was turning a yellow-orange color. She turned back to him as she felt the reality of her vision.
She stood on a hill overlooking a sunset she turned to the man she had been waiting for. Demetri, his bright red eyes, has almost a sparkle in them. He had a warm smile as he gently grabbed her hand and placed them into his. He pulled her close, his noses almost touching. He whisperers,'' Finally''.As he stares lovingly into her eyes.
Her heart fluttered, she smiled and the two of them gazed into each other's eyes. For the first time, in a long time both felt something they never would experience. A sense of peace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End scene...
Two lone figures watched from a nearby mountain. A Man and woman immortal who looked bitterly at the carnage below, the battle had finished and they had lost. Well, Raphael had lost, their creator the two vampires turned to each other with grim faces which morphed to hatred. This was far from over...this was... just the beginning for them. They would seek their vengeance.
They both sped away from the mountain and the state of Washington to plot and wait patiently for their movement to strike. Because in the chaos it seems even Mira and the others forgot about two very dangerous newborns.
...................................................................................................
Atticus and Grace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mira and Demetri smile at each other. Mira looks up at Demetri,'' So What Now ?''.
Demetri chuckles before replying,'' You're the one who can see the future. You tell me''.Mira laughs while shaking her head before gazing into Demetri's eyes.''I think we'll be just fine''.They both looked back to see everyone getting ready to leave and head to the Cullens. Demetri sweeps mira up into his arms, which she laughed at before wrapping her arms around his neck. She rested her head by his neck. Which he smiled at before he sped off with mira.

Back at the Cullen residence:
Everyone was already at Cullen's house. Mira and Demetri were already sitting inside engaging with people while other vampires were outside for the most part.The wolves had left to go home but a few helped some of the nomads find their way out of forks safely(mostly to ensure none of them got tempted by the residents of forks). The Cullens house was still very full of vampires so the pack was on alert. The Cullen's beautiful home luckily was far away from any humans and they have since bought a few more acres around the property to add to their security which had alarms if humans entered. But they've had no problems and the only reasons they worried because of the remaining nomads in the area.
Most of the nomads and covens had already taken off. Except for Makenna and Charles, the Seoul coven, and Mary a nomad who was a witness for the Cullens all those years ago. And few others including the nomads peter and charlotte plus the Canadian covens who were speaking to Antonio and Leonardo Alice and Jasper were talking to peter who was being comforted by charlotte. They had mixed expressions...
Despite the justice, Maria received they were still upset. Alice rested her head onto Jasper's chest which seemed to bring some comfort. Charlotte and Peter wrapped their arms around each other. Both looked at each other giving each other forced but weak smiles.
Nearby the Canadian coven was talking with Leonardo and Antonio. Leonardo was speaking to Alden and Anne while henry was observing from the side, while Antonio was talking to the others. Margo was sitting next to Gil watching him talk to Antonio they were discussing their lifestyle. Antonio didn't understand how Gil could stay if he wasn't the biggest fan of it. He shrugged then glanced at margo who looked up at him then smiled at him. Gil looked back at Antonio before stating,'' She's the main reason I stay...and the others too. She's like a little sister I couldn't leave her or the others they're my family''.Gil spoke...Antonio cracked a smile. He usually didn't smile, Smirked yes but he rarely smiled. Gil made him smile though. It made him think of his relationship with Leonardo they were a family. Leonardo not only was his creator he was like a father. Even though from appearances alone they looked more like brothers. Brothers...he thought he sighed a little but tried keeping the smile.''Oh, Raphael why did you have to do this'', he thought to himself. He had been furious but now he was just sad. His brother was dead all because he wanted revenge. Which he understood but the added need for power well made him just a fool.
Elsewhere Tiberius was talking to river near the wood's entrance to the Cullen's property. They were catching up they both seemed more at ease now that everything seemed to be settled. River spoke,'' Tiberius please consider coming with us back to Italy! Please aro has already shown interest...''.They began. But Tiberius put a hand up silencing them.''I thought about it I'll eventually come to Italy but I need some time on my own''.He said. He looked guilty, but river smiled and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.'' It's fine I get it after everything I don't blame you for taking some time to yourself''.River chuckled a weak smile on their face.
River glanced at Tiberius, who had looked away his face was twisted half looked guilt-ridden the other nervous. River furrowed her brows in a look of confusion.'' What is it?''.Confusion was laced in river's voice as well as their face. Tiberius hesitated for a moment before turning to river,'' I have a bad feeling...I don't know what,'' Hesitation and worry could be heard in his tone. River placed a gentle and comforting hand on his shoulder which made him relax. His expression became less tense. He gave a weak smile before continuing,'' I feel it's not over yet. Are we sure we got everyone ...from the army''.Tiberius looked at river with concern his eyes gazing into her searching for some clarity.

River paused then looked away briefly before thinking.
Then froze river's eyes go wide then looks up back at Tiberius,'' Do you know who killed grace and Atticus?''.An alerted river asked. Tiberius's eyes go wide alarmed then said ''no..oh god no '''.Tiberius and river give each other a shared look of horror then turn towards the house and ran.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the house, Mira and Demetri were inside the house. Specifically in Cullen's living room. Some of the Volturi had started heading back to Italy but the three ancients remained as well as a few of the higher up guards. Demetri was sitting on the couch with Mira who had her head resting on his shoulder. Her body was tucked against his. Both seemed at ease with each other almost immediately. They hadn't known each other very long but it felt as if they already knew each other. Aro seated on the couch across from them smiling it wasn't any old smile of joy but of satisfaction. He was rather content with what played out he usually always got what he wanted eventually. When he found out about mira he knew one way or another he'd get her. It was a bonus and just plain old luck she happened to be one of his guards mates. That extra security made him very happy.
Not only that but when River first approached them, he had already considered pardoning them. Once he had learned about the army and their status as someone who had run.
He was impressed that they came to the Volturi to turn in their creator. However, he was intrigued when river began to talk about mira. Oh, and to see through river's thoughts was just icing on the cake to him. Although aro was surprised yet delighted to learn that River was gifted as well and in addition to river there was Tiberius oh another wonderful surprise. After the battle, he had briefly introduced himself to Tiberius taking in his thoughts.
Tiberius was a very gifted young man even when he was human same as mira is now and river was. Tiberius as a boy grew up in new york in a loving and a rather wealthy family. After the battle to everyone's surprise Tiberius solved a family mystery. As it turns out Rosalie is related to him which was a surprise to everyone. He couldn't stop staring at the blonde beauty. Through his thoughts, aro saw that he was very happy with his information. As a boy, Tiberius would often wander the halls of his home for hours often stopping to look at the picture of the blonde beauty who had disappeared decades prior.
Aro had raked through his memories including when he meets Raphael, He had been walking home after going out to Ralph's Karaoke and coffee shop. Tiberius had been thinking of mostly mundane things like what he was gonna eat when he got home. Takeout maybe.No he then thought I'll have the leftovers he had in his fridge before they went bad. Other thoughts including calling home next week to check in with his family.
There was a break coming up, he was excited to see them again. Aro began to think more about Tiberius thoughts he had observed. When his train of thought was interrupted by yelling from outside. Then the front door opened and slammed.
River and Tiberius ran into the house with alarmed looks on their face. Everyone turned to look at them all sharing the same look of concern. Aro spoke up,'' What is it my dear ones''.He asked nervously. Renata was standing behind him while he was sitting on the couch she grew alert at her masters' expression.
As Tiberius and river went to speak mira gasped as she got a vision. Alarming everyone especially Demetri who goes to comfort mira.Mira observes in her vision. First ...To outlines of shadowy figures. Then two pairs of red eyes. Finally, Grace smirking with Atticus watching behind her. Both had sinister smiles and predatory eyes. Grace whispered something then. But all mira could make out was ''soon''.
The vision ends and mira shakes a little before Demetri gently tries to ask,'' What is it ''.
Mira gulped turned weakly smiling at him before saying,'' I'm fine '', She began then her expression turned serious as she added,'' I saw grace and Atticus ...very much alive. And I think they want to do something bad''.
------------------------------------ End of chapter 9 -------------------------------------------
Chapter 10 sneak peek:
A group of campers in Yellowstone national park were settling down for the night. It was a calm and cool evening, there were six of them in their group chatting and laughing while soft music from their portable radio played. One of the guys stood up and began walking away from the group.
Another male glanced at his friend walking away,'' Where are you going gus?''.A concerned tone in his voice. Gus chuckled before replying,'' those burritos went right through me man besides I also had a whole keg of bud...I got to take a leak and dump Jack''.Jack wrinkled his nose in fake disgust then laughed before turned back to his friends. Their other friends had overheard the comment chuckling mostly but one of the girls Amanda made face before sipping her beer. The other three campers were playing a card game to kill time. All six had taken this trip as a reunion of sorts. All of them were college friends who recently graduated, they wanted to go off the grid a bit. So they told their families where they going which was this national park. For two weeks of bonding and catching up no phones besides the park's emergency phone which was a couple of miles away. Just peace and solitude for the six of them or so they thought.
Unbeknownst to the group of humans, they were being watched by two very irritated vampires who wanted to take out their aggression on someone. But first, they were very Hungry...hungry for chaos and blood.

Superhuman Magus
A story about an anti-hero guy among righteous people fighting against villains disturbing peace of his land. That's how the story unfolds. Interesting, right? Higher Races rules over lower human/sub-human races! The protoganist believes Higher Race took away his family. But he is powerless. So, he gave up so that he could live a harmless life. But fate didn't allow him to do so as it gave him a Supernatural power called 'Avasci'. But that wasn't the end as he found something else within him, something that allows him to defy his human limits. But nothing good comes without a price, balance is an universal law. Will Eason defy his limits while pursuing after his parents? Or will he lose the motivation to do so and selfishly pursue after power? >>NOTE: This is my first novel, so go easy on me with the typos and grammar mistakes.Release Time : Minimum=>1 chapter(good plot)/weekI will release more if I get enough time >>Title Name: The first title name was called Limits Defying Human which is basically the theme of the story. Superhuman Magus is a title that is based on a concept. Can't say more as it's a spoiler. I prefer the first title but it's just that the current title might attract more people. First title didn't make the novel seem like it's fantasy based. >>Motivation to create Novel: I created this novel to implement the vast imaginations I had while I was not creating a novel. So, there will be a lot of extreme imaginations. Most of these imaginations can only be implemented afterwards as it's a story. So it will take a while.

Amir: A Short Horror Story
"My throat became dry; my tongue felt like sandpaper scraping against the top of my mouth. My mind became fuzzy. I had no chance of survival against this, this thing, and It was toying with me. It seemed to see the fear in my eyes and laughed, the metal sounding voice screeching like nails on a chalkboard. " I wrote this when I was young, and I haven't touched it since 2019, so don't worry about it.
