The battle had finally come to an end in the vampire city, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But amidst the rubble and chaos, a sense of relief and hope began to take root. Damien and Rose stood side by side, their bags packed and ready for the next chapter of their journey.
As they made their way towards the waiting car, a familiar figure approached – Dumphries. His face bore the marks of the intense fight, but his eyes shone with gratitude.
"Rose," Dumphries began, his voice tinged with emotion. "Words cannot express how thankful I am for your bravery. If it weren't for your actions, I wouldn't be standing here today." He took her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.
Rose managed a warm smile, though the weight of recent events still lingered. "I'm just glad I could help, Dumphries. Protecting our kind is what matters most."
