EPILOGUE
Bella ran laughing along the shoreline feeling the sand between her toes and the waves rushing over her ankles. Running fast behind her was Duncan Macleod. She stumbled purposefully allowing him to swing her up in his strong arms and toss her into the surf.
She'd never been happier or more in love. She sat in the shallow water thinking back over recent events. The last six months had been difficult. Even though they'd closed the hell mouth permanently they still had much to accomplish.
The Watcher's Council was in the process of being reformed but with the mission to serve rather than control the slayer. Giles had been named as director but he was being ably assisted by Joe Dawson and to everyone's surprise Methos. It seemed the oldest immortal was tired of sitting on the sidelines.
Two months after Sunnydale Methos and Anya had been married. She became his 68th wife. He'd protested a bit much when it came to her. The last Bella had heard from Anya she was receiving many happy orgasms.
To no one's surprise Spike and Amanda had taken off for parts unknown. But knowing them they were probably planning a lovely jewel heist and having a hell of a time doing it.
Faith and Robin were living in Cleveland. It seemed that there was more than one hell mouth and the closing of the one in Sunnydale had led to an upsurge of demonic activity in Cleveland.
The potentials that survived Sunnydale had traveled to London where Giles had enrolled them in school and was trying to help them live as normal a life as possible until one of them was called as the next slayer.
Angel returned to L.A. and was still running Angel Investigations. He'd called Bella two months ago and told her about a lovely girl named Anne who ran a homeless shelter that he'd become involved with. The former master vampire had found happiness in returned humanity.
Duncan watched Bella as she slowly came out of her memory-induced haze and reached his hand down to her pulling her out of the water.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss and then moaned into his lips, "Let's go back to the house. I want to have my wicked way with you."
