huddled around Selena.

Emery hurriedly ran towards her cousin.

"Selena? Selena?" Emery called out as she forced herself into the huddled group that was staring down at her cousin. Liam and Zane had placed their hands over her bloodied torso.

"It's not working. Why is it not working?" Liam asked, but no one had the answer. Tears had started to form in Emery's eyes whereas Erick was sobbing.

"Wait," Ashley said as she pointed at Selena's chest. The blood on her shirt was slowly disappearing.

Breaths that everyone hadn't realized they were holding were released. They stopped worrying, and a couple of seconds later, Selena gasped in air. Erick immediately hugged her, kissing her passionately and making the rest feel slightly awkward.

"Guys, what do we do about them?" Logan asked, interrupting Erick's and Selena's kissing session. Everyone turned to look at Eva and Bianca, the two women who had passed out.

"We'll lock them up," Selena said.

"And have them escape again?" Logan countered with raised eyebrows.

"Well, we can't kill Eva."

"Yeah. She'll just heal and try to attack us again," Ashley added.

"Well, with Bianca, we can strip her powers and send her back to her prison on earth," Emery suggested.

"Speaking of which... guys, how did Eva get her out?" Ethan asked, and that changed everything. Everyone knew Eva's methods of getting what she wanted. That meant they had to go to earth and wipe the memories of those who had witnessed Eva help Bianca in breaking out of the prison.

"We'll sort it out later. Right now, we have to deal with those two," Erick said as he directed his gaze to the unconscious Bianca and Eva. 

 

 

Epilogue

 

Days later

Third Person's P.O.V

A groan escaped Eva's lips as she fluttered her eyelids open. After a while, she was able to focus on her surroundings. 

What met her eyes was white.

She slowly got up from the floor, cradling her head as she blinked her eyes, thinking she was seeing her own things. However, what she saw was still white. 

She soon realized she was in a large white room. The walls were concrete, and as she faced upwards, she noticed the white ceiling too was concrete. Eva looked at her form, and she saw she still had her long black dress.

She was confused as she looked around, and she soon spotted a figure lying on the floor a few feet in front of her.

Bianca. She still had her yellow dress.

What happened? Eva thought. She soon recalled the events that had occurred before she had passed out. They flashed before her mind, and she was shocked.

With wide eyes, Eva looked at her surroundings once again. She ran towards a white concrete wall, planning to break out. When she touched it, pain zipped through her form. It made her jump away, and Eva stared at her hands in shock. The pain was familiar, and Eva was shocked to the roots.

'No,' she thought as she looked around her enlargened room. There were two bulbs above her. One of them was off, and the other was currently emitting white light. Eva continued to look around. She soon spotted a metallic vent that was blowing air inside the room.

Eva tried to levitate towards it. She didn't get far enough because she soon felt hurtful shocks run through her form again. She fell on the ground, and her heart began thudding in worry.

'Not again,' Eva thought as she continued feeling her way around the area. She felt jolts of electricity as she touched the walls, and a sinking feeling grew in her stomach.

It took a short while for Eva to realize she was in her prison once again. The difference was that it was spacious, and she had a partner to share it with.

She tried to use her powers to see what was behind the white walls. It was hard at first, but she was able to see what was on the other side.

It scared and shocked her to her roots.

The orange rocks she had been fighting against were there, but at the time, they were many. In fact, they had been smoothened to form a thick wall. They were behind the white walls in the room. Eva started shaking in fear and disbelief. She looked at the ceiling, and she was scared when she realized that more orange rocks had been placed, also forming a wall above her. 

"NO!" Eva screamed, the sound traveling through the air pipe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you think this will be enough to hold her off?" Emery asked.

"It is," Erick stated.

Emery was with Zane, Selena and Erick in the newly-constructed maximum security prison. The new one was built far away from Crystalia and Andreladia. At the current time, the four were in a room with monitors. They were watching Eva scream as tears poured out of her eyes.

It was not a pretty sight. However, it was a surprise to them. They had never seen her cry.

"When the cell was under development, I made sure the scientists and constructors worked together to melt the orange rocks to form thick walls. Apparently, the rocks can be discharged of their powers through fighting off their barriers. I told the constructors to use many rocks so that it would be impossible for Eva and Bianca to leave."

Emery continued to look at Eva's crying face. At another monitor, Bianca was seen getting up.

"Wow. I would hate to be on that side of the prison," Zane commented with wide eyes.

"It is bad, but those two are lucky I enchanted the place to provide for them with food when they ask for it."

Everyone was confused.

"I thought the magic doesn't work there."

"Oh, it does. The rocks just contain it in one place. Eva cannot teleport out of her prison, but she can use her powers in that vicinity. At least we can guarantee our safety for eternity," Erick added with a smile.

"Wow. I think that's a little too harsh," Selena said.

"Well, they should have thought twice before coming after the people I love, especially after what they almost did to you."

Selena thought about it, and she shrugged her shoulders in agreement. 

On the monitor, Eva was seen still crying. Despite all the crap that Eva had done to her and everyone else, Selena couldn't help but feel pity for her. However, Eva brought her punishment to herself. It was what was needed to be done to protect everyone from her.

"Okay then. Let's get out of here," Erick said, and the rest followed him. 

It was the last time they would all see Bianca and Eva.

***********************************************************************************************

After all the crap that had happened after the wedding, things returned to normal. Eva and Bianca were imprisoned, guaranteeing everyone's safety for, possibly, the whole of eternity. 

The wedding after-party had to be postponed due to Eva's return. After everything regarding her and Bianca had been sorted out, the celebration resumed days later. The after-party lasted a whole day, and it was beautiful. Many people had given a toast about the new couple and how their love was real. Afterward, Zane and Emery went on their honeymoon.

It was in Andreladia.

The royal family had given them a house on an elevated area as a wedding present. The new couple was to spend their honeymoon there, and it was to be three weeks long. The both of them had stayed inside the building for most of the time. Zane and Emery were too preoccupied even to contact their family and friends. They had made love almost everywhere in the house, and a day hadn't passed without them screaming each other's names in passion.

It was currently their second week. The house had a balcony that offered a magnificent view of the Crystalia mountains, the forest and some of the rivers that flowed through the area. Zane and Emery were on the balcony, seated on a bench swing as they enjoyed the view. Emery had placed her head on her husband's naked shoulder, and he had one of his arms wrapped around her torso.

"It's so beautiful," Emery commented as she marveled at the view.

"I know," Zane spoke before he started placing kisses on her ear. She giggled and turned to him, giving him access to her lips.

They continued for a while, and Zane's hand started going underneath her shirt.

"Wait," she said as Zane continued to place kisses on my cheeks. His hand went higher, grasping her breast and squeezing it.

"Why?" he said, trailing his lips onto her neck. Emery gasped as his teeth once again found a hickey he had gotten used to placing.

"Zane..." she trailed off as he continued to bite and tug on her hickey. He sighed, placing his head against hers and rubbing her cheek with the stubble he had gained. He removed his hand from her shirt to caress her cheek.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I think I may be pregnant," Emery informed him.

He stopped suddenly, and Emery began to worry.

"Really?" he asked with a smile, rubbing her lips with his thumb.

"Well, I don't know," she said just as he stuck his thumb in her mouth. Emery sucked on it, and he cursed.

Emery popped the thumb out of her mouth before informing him: "I'm late."

"Well, pregnant or not, I still love you, and I will love the child you might be carrying."

Emery laughed just as he stuck his hand in her pants. A gasp escaped her lips when his fingers found something.

Zane's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at his wife.

"What's in here?" he asked, grasping the object that was in her pocket.

"Zane..." Emery trailed off as he took out the small envelope. It was a gift from Selena, and it had a label on it.

"Pregnancy spell?" he asked as he stared at her in disbelief.

"It's not what you think it is. It's just a spell that is chanted to see if a woman is pregnant," she said.

"How does it work?" he asked.

"I have to chant the spell, and I will feel a ticklish sensation in my stomach if I'm pregnant. If I don't feel anything, then I'm not."

"Oh," Zane said as he furrowed his eyebrows. "Okay. Let's do it."

"Really?" Emery was shocked.

"Yes. You're my wife, Emery. Of course, I would want to know if we're going to be parents."

She chuckled as she opened the envelope, taking out the white piece of paper that had the spell written on it. Emery chanted the spell, and they both waited. After about a minute, Emery felt a weird sensation in my stomach.

She laughed out in surprise.

"Zane..." Emery did not need to say more. Zane was soon grinning at her. He quickly grabbed her, placing his lips onto hers. On instinct, Emery turned as her legs wrapped themselves around his waist. Her form pressed against his naked chest, and she enjoyed the warmth that seeped into her skin. Zane stood up before spinning them on the floor as he stared at his new wife.

"We're going to have a baby!" he yelled, and Emery laughed in happiness. Zane then stood with her in his arms.

He was staring at her again. Her heart thudded when she saw the emotion in his eyes.

"What is it?" she asked him.

"I love you, Emery Marsh."

Emery smiled in reply before saying, "I love you too Zane Marsh."

With a smile, Zane began kissing her. After a while, the kiss was becoming heated, and they were both itching to get out of their clothes.

"Zane..." Emery
