Eternity

Chapter 7

Seeing is Believing

Leo orbed back to the house.

"Paige can you orb Phoebe over after Cordy and I have." Leo asked them. The sisters nodded they knew that if they orbed first it would be a let down for those who want to see Cordy. "Are you ready?" He asked.

Cordy shook her head. "I don't think I can do this."

"You can."

Taking a deep breath she took hold of Leo's hand.

Angel stood their waiting it seemed like forever and suddenly a bright light in front of them and their she was, he felt as if time had stopped. No one moved it seemed as no one took a breath, another bright light brought them back when two more women arrived.

"Cordy." Angel whispered afraid that if he spoke too loud she would disappear again.

"Angel." She whispered back, not believing that he was here in front of her and then before she knew it his arms were wrapped around her holding her tightly.

"I'm never going to let you go again." He said over and over again Angel pulled away for just a moment and looked into her eyes and then slowly he leaned forward and there lips met softly at first as if they would both disappear but soon the urgency got the better of them Angel's arms tightened around her waist and pulled her flushly against him, her arms tightened around his neck, they leaned into each other and both drowned in the kiss.

Everyone around just watched the two souls getting back together. Leo his arms around his wife and smiled down at her. Buffy's face paled, she knew that she should be happy but she just couldn't now she understood what she did to Angel when she told him about Riley.

Angel and Cordy finally pulled apart.

"I love you Cordy." He said as he placed his forhead against hers.

"I love you as well." She replied.

They both felt at last at piece with everything that had happened they had never been themselves and told each other how they felt and they knew that they had to in case anything else happened.

"I have some things to do first Angel." She said as she pulled away Angel did not want to let her go but he had to. She turned to the red head. "Willow I need to talk to you."

Willow stared at Cordy and nodded and followed her old schoolmate outside. Everyone watched as the two of them left.Buffy turned and saw the smile on Angel's face and out of the corner of her eye she saw Spike it was still not the time to talk to him but they would talk at some point and she would find out why he never called and let her know that he was alive and was working with Angel the last time she looked he hated Angel with a passion.

Outside Willow watched Cordy carefully.

"Sit down Willow." Cordy asked gently.

Willow sat down. "What's going on?" she asked.

"Willow how would you feel about moving to LA permanently?" Cordy said.

"Why?" Willow asked.

"I need to be near Angel to tell about the visions but I also need to be near you. I mean I could easily get to you where ever you are but I think the guys here could do with a good witch to help but after all that happened in Sunnydale I can understand why you wouldn't want to get dragged back into this life." Cordy told her softly.

"Why do you need to get in touch with me?" Willow asked.

"Have you ever heard of whitelighters?" Willow nodded. "Well kid you made the grade I am your whitelighter you just call my name and I will appear."

"Really?" Willow asked nervously her eyes wide. Cordy nodded, Willow came up to her and hugged her. "That is so cool."

Willow walked in ahead of Cordy with a jump in her step and a smile on her face. Cordy walked slowly in behind her watching her with amuzement she turned to Leo and nodded which he returned.

"So let's find out what is going on and deal with it." Willow said with enthusasim.

"What's going on Will?" Buffy asked.

"After we have helped the big bad here Cordy has asked me to stay and I've agreed. I have to do this Buffy." Willow said softly.

Buffy turned and looked at Cordy it seemed she was taking everything from her.

Cordy stopped a looked up, Leo knew what she was hearing and he knew that when she orbed there were going to be a lot of questions.

"I have to go I'll be back soon." Cordy said with a smile.

All the people from LA walked forward they didn't want her out of their sight and before they managed to reach her she became a bright light and little balls and was gone. Willow grinned. "That's my whitelighter." Everyone turned to her.

Leo nodded. "Yes she is and she will protect and heal Willow when it is needed all Willow needs to do is to call her name and she will orb there and she will also beable to sense her charge anywhere in the world. Cordy has more leeway than we do because of her connections to the PTB."

Gunn grinned. "You have been spending way too much time around our girl haven't you."

Leo grinned.

"So big bad what is it?" Angel asked.

"People killing witches starting in this area that is why Willow needed a whitelighter and that you also have the charmed ones on your side."
