NICO- “Thymian? Is that really you?”

THYMIAN- “Of course, who else would be here to welcome you?”

NICO- “You are so beautiful. I want to come, but----

THYMIAN- “I know Daddy, you don’t want to leave Lennon and your boys, but they are going to be fine.  And you can watch over them.”

NICO- “Yes....we can together, right?”

THYMIAN- “You know it. Take my hand daddy...are you ready?”

Nico hears Lennon’s voice.... “It’s okay Nico, you can go. Go with her.  She is here for you.....”

And like that, he was gone.

Lennon sobbed but he knew he wasn’t alone, that he with his daughter, and all those that came before him.  And someday he would be there with him as well.

It still didn’t help the hurt and the loss.

When they got back to their room, Lennon could tell that Nico was happy, but also very weak....

NURSE- “You need something for pain, Mr. Boedell?”

NICO- “No sweetheart, nothing more. I am content. Lennon, come closer...”

Lennon moves in closer and put his arms around him...

NICO- “Thank you for a great life, Lennon.  You brought such joy to me.  You were an amazing partner, and fantastic father to our daughter.  I owe you so much, and I feel terrible that I have to leave you alone.  I want you to be happy. Find someone to share your last days with like we planned....”

LENNON- “I won’t need to, Nico. I can be at peace and happy  knowing what we have is real.  It will last me until I go.”

NICO- “No...find someone.  I don’t want you to be alone.  Someone good, like yourself. You deserve it.”

LENNON- “What I have with you Nico was more than I ever could have imagined.”

NURSE- “Mr. Goth, I am going to step out....if you need me, ring, okay?”

Once the nurse left the room, Lennon climbed into the bed with Nico to hold him and be close to him.  Letting him know he could go, but he wasn’t alone...

LENNON- “I love you Nico Cruz Boedell, you have shared your heart and your life with me, and I will be forever grateful....Close your eyes, and rest.”

NICO- “I love you Lennon. Truly there has not been a greater love than what we have. Remember that day when I brought you to the old Goth house and told you it was ours and I wanted to marry you?”

LENNON- “The happiest day of my life, Nico.”

NICO- “Lennon?”

LENNON- “Yes?”

NICO- “I see her.”

LENNON- “See who, Nico?”

The next evening, Willow Creek Counsel met to name a new coven master...Thymian Boedell. Nico invited Jonas Jones and his son Michael to the meeting.

NICO- “Effective tomorrow, on her sixteenth birthday, Thymian will begin her service to the Willow Creek Coven, as their Coven Master.”

THYMIAN- “I am honored to serve this coven, and continue it’s long history of honorable witchcraft, and service to the community.  One of the things that I think we need to do immediately is to contact the Realm Counsel and have them seat a new coven master for Oasis Springs.  We will work with them to restore that community and it’s people.”

JONAS- “Mistress Boedell, this is a wonderful honor to know that Oasis Springs Coven will once again serve it’s people. My son Michael has requested the Coven of the Realm to appoint him as thier new coven Master.”

THYMIAN- “This is a great news, Willow Creek Coven will send it’s approval and vote for Michael to be named as well.”

Just one week after Nico and his family left, Noah was found by Ava, gone.  He had died in his sleep….

Suddenly the room filled with smoke and clouds, and Elliana began to spin around the room, as did Jamison....and once the clouds and smoke dissipated it was evident what had taken place....

THYMIAN- “Because I am not Elliana, I am Thymian Boedell. And this is not Jamison, but my father, Nico.”

LUCIA- “Lucian...quick run, I can handle them!!”

LUCIAN- “What?? How??”

THYMIAN- “We took their form to deceive you so you would let us in here, where is Laurel?”

Lucia breaks out in maniacal laughter again...

LUCIA- “Lucian, your mother doesn’t know her own strength...go ahead and call 911, tell them a man has died out here of an apparent stroke.  Then once that is dealt with, Laurel will HAVE to talk to us....
