Once I reached the cliff, I stood there and just laughed out loud. So many things had scared me about this place just a few months ago. So many awful nightmares which were now just bittersweet memories. The secret world of the night, that is now my own.

This is my story. Not where it ends, but only where it begins. I don’t really know what is going to happen next, but I have the best family a girl could ask for, and I know things will be okay.
Standing here, looking over my city, a few things occur to me. When I take a toll of the things gained and lost, there is much at stake. I lost my blood parents, but gained a new family. I gave up my old, easy life, but
found my place in the world. It was a fairly easy price to pay, but I did lose Alex.
I suppose though at the end of the tally, I am a vampire. Nobody ever promised me a happy ending.
