Michael nodded to that , "and Justin would want you to move on live a happy life Natalie he wouldn't mind you falling in love again he would want you to. Just know he'll keep an eye on you till you pass on to the afterlife there's a constellation in the sky that looks like several wolves in the sky at night just know he joined them." He smiled a bit, "I also think he would want you to have this in memory of him." He held out the old, beaten up black leather jacket out to her.

Natalie took the leather jacket clutching it close to her smiling at Michael. "Thank you. This is a sweet gift." She says giving him a hug and waves. "I'll see you again I hope." She says walking to the house putting the leather jacket on.

Michael nodded to that, "I'll see you around Natalie just make sure to take care of yourself I don't think justin would like to see you not and also move on in your life he would want that as you would want that from him." He waved to her, hoping she could move on.

Natalie turned around and tilts her head. "What else can I do? I'm human. We've gone through worse things before. I'll get through it day by day." She says with a small smile. "And I promise I'll find something to settle my mind on and once more I wish for our next meeting to be on better grounds. What will happen now for you now that Dracula is dead? You are freer to do as you please." She asks curiously wanting to know what he would do without the threat that hung over him and the other rouge's. It also gave her an excuse to avoid going to the house that felt emptier.

Michael shrugged, "we don't know yet were still trying to figure that out guess we can finally come out of hiding from the other vampires since draculas gone." He nodded to that, "I wish we could have met on better terms."

"Fate is a funny thing." Natalie agreed sighing. She didn't want to return home but she had little choice for the kids needed her. And besides she couldn't stay away forever anyway. She wondered what her fate would be. Now that she had lost another person she cared for, was she to be alone? She doubted it. She shrugs shaking her head. What use was worrying about it?

Michael looked to Justin's grave before getting two vamps to unbury his body, he got Justin out of the coffin. Before biting his neck giving Michael gave him his blood then drained the rest out of justin, he had to try this at the very least for Natalie. He reburied justin, a few minutes passed before Justin came out of the ground. "How in the hell am I alive," Michael took a step forward. "Me" justin had a confused look on his face before it changed into one of thanks, "my hearts beating and that's probably because of my Wolf side." His eyes widened before he fully got to his feet and started running toward the house Natalie lived in with the kids.

Natalie had entered the house an hour earlier and had shed the blue clothes and settled into the couch snuggling into the leather jacket her eyes closed sleeping. She had a long emotionally draining day. Alexie, the eldest teenager and a night owl was looking over the house and making sure that everything was alright and getting one of Natalie's weapons when the door opened. "Who goes there?" He demands looking at the silhouette. Was that...? "Justin? I thought you left. Everyone does." He said a bit bitingly for those at the house didn't take to being double crossed and betrayed as they had been so too long.

Justin swallowed he had some explaining to do, "I uh......I don't know how to explain this unless I'm in front of Natalie I don't really know how to explain this really unless you know the stories of the lycans and vampires. I need to speak to her, please I know I have some explaining to do but I do it best when I'm in front of Natalie."

"She's sleeping. And if you value your continued existence you won't wake her up. She had a long day. It took a lot out of her to continue functioning and put on a bright face." Alexei said placing the weapon where Natalie always put it. He didn't believe in that stuff. I mean seriously? It was just stupid. But he knew that Natalie was a believer for she devoured books on the lore.

Justin nodded to that, "Natalie knows this and so do I but you have to not tell anyone else. We don't need a whole out war, the supernatural exists vampires and werewolves I guess you could call me a hybrid between the two I guess." He ran his hand through his hair, "just don't tell any of the other kids Natalie already knows what I am, also I guess I can wait here for the night since I really don't have my truck to get back to my place."

Alexei pulls a hand through his hair. "Who would I tell anyway? Any sane person will throw me into an asylum. Yeah I suppose you can stay here." He said not going to toss someone out in the cold.

Justin nodded to that, "don't tell Natalie yet she's had a rough day at the very least she deserves the sleep." He stretched his shoulders, he saw Natalie sleeping on the couch curled up in his jacket. He went over and slept on the floor of the living room getting comfortable he fell asleep.

Alexei sighs. He hoped Justin knew what he was doing. From what he had seen, she had said her goodbyes although she hadn't wanted to, and they usually knew that the person wasn't returning. He just hoped Natalie wouldn't hurt Justin. Cause she could get scary when she got angry. He went to his room and stayed up the rest of the night.

When the sun began to rise, Natalie stirred bringing the leather jacket closer to her nose to take in Justin's scent blearily waking up and seeing some sort of lump on the living room floor. She walked to the shutters and closed them putting the room in darkness, the sun unable to come through that and walked back to her sleeping spot her mind barely working beyond that of yet another day where she'd have to pretend she was alright even though Justin died. His ghost had said good bye so she figured he had been okay with departing so she had to let him go. So why did she keep thinking that she saw him? Crazy. She closes her eyes again curling into a ball.

Justin didn't fall asleep, he was just keeping his eyes closed.
Felt Natalie move, his eyes opened seeing Natalie. He took a deep breath, "hey Natalie." He swallowed, "before you think I'm a ghost I'm not Michael brought me back only a couple minutes ago I am a hybrid just I'm alive in a sort of way I guess you could say."

Natalie froze even her heart stuttered as her back went rimrod straight. Oh please no. She couldn't do this! She covered her ears as if doing that would block out the voice of one who had died and whose soul had left. It wasn't real. She had to repeat it to herself her shoulders shaking with her quiet sobs. She couldn't believe he was there. It would hurt.

Justin was by her in a second, pulling her into his arms. "Shhh Natalie your fine it's alright it's alright I'm here for real not a ghost a ghost wouldn't be able to hold you now would it." He sat there on the couch with Natalie in his arms as she sobbed.

"This is a dream." Natalie said her voice shaking with her sadness. "Its just a horribly painful and beautiful dream." She repeats shaking her head as her head tilted to look at him. "Stop. It hurts." She pleads her eyes still filled with tears and red rimmed from them. She didn't want to leave these arms. But he was buried. His soul had gone. How could one come back from that?!

Justin sighed to that, "Michael decided for your bravery he had brought me back I'm half and half Natalie half vamp while half lycan this isn't a dream if it was then why do I feel so real then why does this feel so real." With that he put his lips to hers.

Natalie's eyes first widened then drifted shut as Justin kissed her. She drew back then smacked his shoulder different emotions passing on her face in moments. From sadness, to relief, then anger. "That fucking ass! I don't know if I should thank him or strangle him!" She said pacing pulling her hair knowing that to be angry with Micheal for bringing back the man she loved was a bit odd but she really was struggling with her emotions.
