Author's Note.

---

Hey all you readers out there in Fanfiction land! I have decided to continue this story for one more chapter…the epilogue. This final chapter will not be attached to this story though. Instead I have decided to place it in the "Mature" section as it will include some explicit and graphic sexual content. If you are offended by sexual content, then please do not read the epilogue entitled "When You Walk Away I Count The Steps That You Take…" Just read the final chapter and leave it at that. I do feel compelled though to tell you what you will be missing.

Esmeralda finally comes to terms with who she is and gives herself to Claude.

She hears horse hooves and goes to confront Phoebus.

While she is out Claude decides that things can never be better than they are now and does something drastic to keep things the way they are.

For those of you who choose to stop reading after chapter 12 thank you for reading and for those who have reviewed I cannot thank you enough. For those who continue reading, thank you and review.
