A/N: Hey guys! Okay, here's a short alternative ending to the story :o)

Maybe I'll do a prequel or so, but I'm rather busy with school at the moment, so it might take me a while.

Take care, and 'till the next story :o)

Epilogue

-----------

He woke up, sitting up in his bed, bathing in sweat, taking in heavy breaths, trying to catch reality. Letting out a sigh he tugged back the covers, which he'd pushed away in his sleep, realising it all had just been a dream. A scary, and very realistic dream.

'Cordy.' He whispered, still feeling how her warm body had pressed against his, teasing, torturing him with sweet ministrations, her lips pressing kisses along his cold body. And it was her blood he could still taste in his mouth and on his lips.
But waking up he'd felt a presence next to him, like a sweet comfort, a warm blanket of love. Looking next to him, he could see the figure of a woman.

'She's still asleep' he thought, 'I didn't wake her'

Resisting the urge to wake her up and lavish her with a thousand hugs and kisses, he moved closer towards her, finding comfort as he spooned up against her, resting his head against her bare back.

He could hear her moan softly, but she was still fast asleep.
He'd stopped sweating, and he wasn't gasping for air anymore. She was there, she was all he needed.
Hearing her heartbeat and feeling her warmth he drifted back to sleep again, knowing all he needed was right there in his arms.

Cordelia Chase, his seer, his soul mate, his love.
