I don't know where all the time went. When I look at their faces, even after all these years, I still see the life we have yet to share.

Unlike me, Dante, Seven, and Lucien haven't aged a day. Then again, why would they?

I'm the one who's mortal.

Some days, I can pretend that we still have a full life left to live. At least, until I slip my old gnarled hand into one of their smooth ones.

They pretend not to notice, but I can see they do in the worried looks they send each other when they think I won't notice.

As much as Dante has worried over the years, I've never once regretted choosing him ... choosing all of them. They gave me a life I once never dreamed possible.

They've truly loved me and cared for me through every moment. Every change.

Even now, they won't leave my side.

As hard as it is for me to admit, and as adamant as they are to deny it, I know my time here ... my time with them, the loves of my life, is drawing to a close.

I hope, as they carry on through this life, that our parting will not weigh too heavily on their hearts. They can rest easy knowing that they gave me more love, joy, and passion then I ever thought possible, and I hope that when they find her, the curse breaker, that she will bring them all the joy and love that they gave me.

My Dante. My Seven. My Luci.

Until we meet again.

With all my love,

Evi

June 12

She was the greatest love of my life. She still is. There is no one like her, and never will be again.

Our little one, our Evi, passed away in Dante’s arms last night just after we finished celebrating her one-hundredth birthday ... and she's taken my very soul with her.

She’s taken all of our souls.

The little minx.

Little did we know, she was our curse breaker.

My only guess is that when she chose to sacrifice both her immortalityandher fertility, not only saving us but sacrificing any future children we might have had together, it counted. It actuallyfuckingcounted.

Of course, Dante slipped away with her first, the bastard, but Luci and I won’t be far behind.

We’re not long for this world now.

We can feel our bodies failing.

It’s strange. After all these centuries, to finally welcome the taste of death.

We’ll bury their bodies in the garden behind our house, under our favorite tree, and then Luci and I will lie down beside them.

It won’t be long now.

Goodbye for now, my little one.

My Evi.

Seven
