Promises In The Dark Series

Never again, isn't that what you said?

You've been through this before

An' you swore this time you'd think with your head

No one, would ever have you again

And if takin' was gonna get done

You'd decide where and when

Just when you think you got it down

Your heart securely tied and bound

They whisper, Promises In The Dark

 

Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night

But too many opponents made you weary of the fight

Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in

All the warnings went off in your head

Still you had to give in

 

Just when you think you got it down

Resistance nowhere to be found

They whisper, Promises In The Dark

 

But promises, you know what they're for

It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before

Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure

And so you put up your guard

And you try to be hard

But your heart says try again

 

You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear

No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears

Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost

On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost

Just when you think you got it down

Your heart in pieces on the ground

They whisper, Promises In The – Dark

Author’s Note

If you haven’t already read Book One (To Believe Again) I recommend that you do. Characters are introduced and developed in the first book. This is a continuation of that story.

 

It has been two years since Book One was completed, and that’s way too long to wait on such a cliffhanger, many, many apologies for that. And lots of thanks to everyone that sent feedback on Book One, and wanted to see the story continued.  I hope this book is well worth the wait.

 

Many thanks to Kay – my beta beauty – for putting up with my babbling rambling quirks big hugs.  And to Bre, my rock in the otherwise whacky world of BTVS fandom and life, this book is dedicated to you – luv ya sweets!

Summary

Afraid and unsure of how Angel will react to the news of her pregnancy and the unknown parentage of the baby, is almost too much for Buffy to bear but she knows she has to do the right thing and come clean.  Apart from of how stressful that is, their impending parenthood is the least of their problems when reality once more throws them a curve ball.

 

Buffy and Angel have been through hell and high water to get to this point in their lives and they won’t let anything get in their way again.  Love and a deep devotion to each other is what will see them through.  For the past is the past and their future is wide open…unknown and unwritten.

 

No matter what, love will conquer all.

 

Author’s Note

There has been a lot of angst, suffering, betrayal and pain throughout this series, as well as a soul binding love and deep seated passion for each other, for family, and for the truth.   Initially when I thought of this last installment my thoughts were pretty much the same…more soap opera like angst, however when it came time to actually write it I realized that I didn’t want Angel and Buffy to be thrown back into that cesspool of negativity, so I decided that this final book would be one that was full of optimism and love – hence the title.  Of course there will be some angst, every good Buffy and Angel tale should have some, but the overall feeling I wanted to give was hope, and that no matter what happens in life there is always a sunny side even though it is not always that easy to see.

 

As always, many warm thanks to Kay, my beta-babe!

 

My sincerest thanks to all the readers who have taken this story and held it close to their hearts, may this final installment give you a sense of closure yet at the same time a feeling of infinity. For though the story ends here for me, Buffy and Angel continue to live on.
