Hi, everyone!
Well, not much to say here. Enjoy the epilogue of my novel, "The Villain Academy."
Epilogue
She opened her eyes to another rainy morning. Already, the house was wide awake.
A smile crossed her lips as she got out of her bed and left the room. The house was alight with laughter and the weak sunlight through the curtains. This meager amount of light wasn’t enough to burn Rune, which was why the family had moved here in the first place.
“Morning, Amy,” he said with a smile.
Her smile widened as she was suddenly enveloped by two pairs of arms, with high-pitched, excited yells of “Mom!” attacking her ears. Amy laughed and hugged her two daughters back tightly.
The two girls, twins, were different in most every way. Both were pale skinned and about the same height, but everywhere else they differed. While one girl had her mother’s big, blue gray eyes behind pink, thin-rimmed glasses, the other had her father’s dark eyes that sometimes gleamed with red. The bespectacled twin had long dark hair that was constantly messy, while the other had long, pale blonde hair that clashed with her dark eyes. They were two very sweet children with no sign of powers, which Amy and Rune were quite glad for, considering all the trouble having powers had gotten them into.
So many years had passed since that awful night at the Villain Academy. Amy had heard the place was closed down now. She wondered if they’d ever find the strange myriad of artifacts in the place hundreds of years from now. Odd machines, dinosaur bones, corpses, maybe even the cell phone she’d left in her messenger bag in the library. She was surprised Rune hadn’t gone back at some point to rescue the books.
Her memories from her stay there were far from pleasant, and the events of that night still weighed heavily on her heart. But finding her true self, a self that happily resided in neutral territory, had made her far happier than she had ever been. She wasn’t Tori, nor was she Aimee, and she would never be either again if she could help it.
Angie and Altair were doing just fine wreaking just enough havoc to keep the world on its toes, but it simply wasn’t the right way for her and Rune.
She had the girls to think about, after all.
“Come on, you two, you wanna go to the park?” Amy asked. The girls cheered. “Better go get changed then.”
They dashed off. Amy’s face softened, watching them go off, all excited over such a little thing. But that was why she loved them. They were her beautiful girls. Felicia and Tamara.

I might be doing a long rambly post about the finished novel and such. But not tonight, there's 24 to be watched. :D
