It had been hours since he left Sunnydale. A growl escaped his lips he could not believe she sent him away for Spike of all people she even slept with him, he growled again punching a hole through the wall in his room. "Angel, are you alright," Fred asked, "Ya. I got to get out of here ". He brushed passed her and she grabbed his arm" She'll be okay, I know it." He tried to smile but couldn't," Call if you need me" Angel walked toward the cemetery I need a good fight. Buffy and the scoobie gang drove the streets of LA looking for the building, she could feel him. " Giles, stop let me out, I'll meet you there" he nodded watching her head toward the cemetery. He was hurt and angry she could feel it. "Fu-ck! God Dammit" He growled slamming his hand through the gravestone breaking the crypt to pieces,she watched him silently. "I never thought you were that angry, I heard you could handle it?" He spun around panting and growling hard rushing to her he began to examine her. "You're hurt! You need bandages" She smiled slightly brushing a hand through her knotted hair. "I'm fine. Heal fast. Are you?" She asked sitting down in the grass intensely staring at him, reaching for him she grabbed his hand pulling him down and cupping his cheek with her hand. "Angel" she breathed and his heart sank, god... she just say's my name and I melt he growled in his head. Chapter 2 "What happened is that the first is dead." She sighed. "The amulet you gave me worked." He watched her emotions; as her tears formed in her eyes. "And Spike?" He wished that he didn’t ask. She lowered her head staring at the ground. "Saved us, sacrificed himself for me." She coughed looking up at him. "Everyone else is alive, hurt but alive." She stared at him searching his face for emotions. He looked at the sky and then to her she was so beautiful. "We should go sunrise and you need rest and food." He grabbed her hand pulling her up. They walked in silence toward his home; Buffy stopped her eyes widened at the huge place. "Wow, huge." He grinned as he guided her in. Fred rushed to him. "Buffy she went to go, ooh." Buffy stood beside him. "Ooh hi, I'm Fred, nice to meet you Buffy." Buffy smiled she seemed much like Willow. "Hi nice to meet you too." Angel entered the lobby. "Is everyone ok? I’ll order pizza and there are lots of rooms. Lorne will show you where to go." He stared at Buffy then to the group. "Slayers." She nodded. "Ya sorry ,we can find somewhere else to go." She was beautiful so grown up and mature. He smiled and she stared at him "Angel?" He looked to her "Oh no, please your all welcome." He walked to her grabbing her hand which gave them both a warm sensation that they haven't felt in a while. "Your definitely welcome to stay and I would like you to stay." She smiled and he looked toward the group."Everyone Okay." They nodded gathering their things and following Lorne. Dawn shrieked and jumped into Angel's arms making him laugh loudly. "Thank you Angel!" She kissed him and ran upstairs. Buffy smiled he laughed he looked up at her and her eyes were glimmering with tears. Buffy entered the kitchen to make some tea; Angel headed to his room making sure no one took it. She stared at his belongings and pictures so expensive and extravagant she giggled, so like Angel. She poured her tea and headed upstairs and knocked on his door nervously. She didn’t know why she went to his room but she did. "Hold on." He got up and put on pants and opened the door to see Buffy on the other side. "Hi, umm want some tea?" She asked she was shaking and he smiled at her. "Thanks, come in." She stared at his hard muscular chest she had forgotten about how well built he was and how she missed him. He grabbed the tray putting it on the night table and handing her a cup. She sat staring at his room. It was huge and bright. He had red satin sheets and silk covers. She brushed her hand over the sheets and moaned softly as he grabbed her and crushed his lips to hers;waiting for the invitation she opened willing to him moaning at his touch as his cool tongue slid against her teeth she kissed back hungrily arching her back to get closer to him.She cried as he kissed her more and he looked at her passionately as he brushed the hair from her face. Chapter 3 He began to whisper soothing words into her ear as he rubbed her back. "Buffy, baby its okay. You’re okay love." Angel brushed away her tears and kissed her forehead. "Is this about Spike?" She glared getting off the bed."God Angel! Can't we just talk with out you getting angry?" She said as paced the room. He grabbed her arm pulling her to the bed and then pulled off her clothes and covered her with his blanket as he held onto her tightly. "I'm sorry beloved. Could you tell me what's wrong?" She turned to him as she started bawling harder and started gasping in-between breaths. "I didn't love him. He told me he loved me before he died, but I don't. I never did and he knew that." Tears spilled out of her eyes as she gazed at him while she mesmerized his face again. "He sacrificed himself for me and I lied to him." Angel looked closely at her frowning. "You were telling him what he wanted to hear. He knows you cared about him." She sighed as she laid her head on the pillow inches away from him. She could smell his hunger and need for her and it made her aroused.She snuggled closer not taking her eyes off of him "I'm sorry for sending you away and for letting you find out that way. God I didn't mean for it to even start." She watched as his eyes softened to her and groaned. "I'm not blaming you for anything Buffy and I don't think of you any different. We’ve all done things we regret." He sighed rubbing his forehead. She watched him as his features changed slightly in the moon light. "Was she beautiful?" Angel looked at her confused. "Who?" She groaned sitting up and resting her head on the baseboard and she reached for her tea sipping it slowly. "Who made you happy! Was it Cordelia?, that Fred girl?" She watched him intensely. He swallowed hard averting his gaze across the room. "Cordelia right? Because Willow said she felt some vibes between you two." He moved his body laying himself on top of her. "It wasn't happiness Buffy it was magic. There was no love and no sex." He watched her facial expression change and he could see the love in her eyes. "Do you really think I loved someone else? God Buffy, I didn't leave you because I didn't love you. I left for you to have a normal life. I admit I'm not a saint. I am a man and I have needs but doesn't mean I will just take the first woman I see." He angrily sat up and started to get out of bed but she grabbed his arm holding him there. "Please don't go. I don't want to fight." Tears formed her eyes and she turned and sighed as he sat down and grabbed her sitting her in his lap. "Giles said you were thinking of seeing Europe. If you decide not to go I would like to get to know you again. We have a lot to talk about and a lot to tell each other and I want you to stay, but, I would understand if you left. Think about it ok?" He laid her down pulling the covers over her while not taking his eyes off her. A smile formed her mouth she cupped his cheek. "Can I sleep on it?" He nodded kissing her forehead. "Night Beloved." He said standing up. "Good night, Angel." He headed to the door turning off the lights. "Angel." He turned looking towards her. "I never stopped not once, you know that right?" she didn’t say it. She didn’t need to because he knew what she meant. "I know love. Sleep, we'll talk later..." He smiled as he exited the room. ******************* Chapter 4 It was morning as usual for the la gang Angel sat at his desk looking through his paper work, Lorne had taken the potentials to the Entertainment room letting them explore. Fred/Gunn and Wes sat at the table in the lunchroom looking over their notes. "So that's Buffy, she pretty seems very sad but nice" Fred sipped her coffee Wes smiled looking toward her. "She been the slayer for 10 years now and she is finished I don't think she knows what to do." Fred looked towards Angels office and back to them, "Why doesn't she stay and help I know Angel would want it." Wes sighed grabbing her hand. " It's not that simple they have a lot between them and his curse well she is the loop hole, it's pretty intense with them. Buffy opened her eyes she looked to the clock it was 10 am she got up grabbing her clothes she headed for the bathroom, the shower was great she felt great it had been a long time since she had slept that well. She remembered last night angel laying on her she got aroused just thinking about it, she moaned washing her, she pictured him in there with him, kissing him making love to him.. she groaned and stepped out God she wanted him she wanted him forever but she was scared that it would happen again him leaving her again. sHe dressed and headed through the on suite into the main building. " I don't care what you two weasels do , get that guy to find a new lawyer we will not be dealing with him any more I will not associate myself with a baby eater.." " But Mr- Angel he is one of your biggest clients he's been with us a long time." Angel growled and bared his fangs "I don't care deal with it." Buffy watched Angel and smiled he had changed so much and god he was cute when he was angry she leaned against the door and watched him. He could feel her he looked up she was leaning on the door smiling widely. "Morning" she said moving gracially across the room swaying her hips, he could feel himself getting hard as she came closer she was his goddess. "Morning, sleep well" he smiled pouring a coffee and handing it to her he opened the blinds causing Buffy to gasp. "Angel get out of the ... she watched as the sun hit his face he didn't explode she looked at him confused." Tampered glass" Her mouth curved into an ooh shape and he smiled. "Hungry" she nodded and he grabbed her hand leading her to a kitchen with a table. She sat down smiling as he made her breakfast. "Wow you have a lot of people here working for you, she could see them rushing around. "Ya pretty intense huh." she laughed" just a little strange. "Uh boss your ten a clock is here" Harmony entered averting her eyes to Buffy. "Buffy," "Harmony" Buffy looked at Angel and then to Harmony. "She's my secretary, thanks harmony you can leave now." Harmony grunted, "Always shooed away for the slayer. Buffy giggled again he handed her food. " What" she grabbed her toast taking a bite. " We do need to talk don't we."

Harmony entered handing him an envelope. "Where does it go?" She laughed " you are old aren't you, uhhh mailbox."

She averted her eyes looking toward the group. "Guess this means dinner who wants It., I go" Chinese "they all screamed she smiled and turned her gaze to him, "Want to join." He nodded grabbing his coat. Spike tossed and turned he could feel the flames of the amulet he woke sweating. They walked in silence in sync with each other. Buffy stared at the busy streets then looked up at him stopping making him trip over her. "Buffy, what is it" She stared not saying a word. "Let's get out of here run off, forget about anyone. He stared at her hard, he watched as her emotions flickered in her eyes. He grabbed her crushing her. She looked up at him and smiled shyly. "I was expecting this, I'm sorry" He grabbed her kissing her softly, It is not you I am worried about love. They headed towards the door when someone jumped out in front of them chanting loudly, lakzshe, lakzshe, they grabbed onto Buffy and disappeared. "BUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFYYY " Angel screamed she was gone.... **************************** Chapter 7 Angel screamed Buffy's name as she disappeared into thin air. He looked around no one was around he grabbed his cell phone dialling the office. I rang 4 times when Fred picked up. "Wolfman and Hart " " Fred I need you to pick me up now please, fuck... I'm at the restraint down the street hurry," he growled slamming the phone down. " People we need to go now Wes drive, she grabbed the keys throwing them to him she shook her head leaving the room, "Hurry we don't have Time." Fred, Wes and Willow rushed out the office. It was dark why it was dark and where Angel she could not feel him or remember what was had happened. She peered in the dark and noticed three people standing in front of her... " Are champions, the one? My child so precious." Buffy stared at the old women coming towards her. The male stepped forward gazing at her." My sweet child you have done so well, you make us proud, he smiled looking toward the younger girl. The younger one walked slowly toward her smiling widely... "You Buffy have saved the world more than once... you ...Buffy cut Her off You are the powers... the powers that be.... They smiled nodding their heads.... She glared at them getting angry," You guys I have a bone to pick with you , How dare you!!" she growled quietly turning towards the older one, " Why did you put me through so much pain, the lady frowned placing her hand on Buffy's cheek. " My child we , " No, she yelled , It was you wasn't it that brought him back after I killed him, she stared at the younger one putting her hands on her hips. "Buffy yes but you don't understand we needed you both in this fight we still do." Buffy grew angry looking towards the male, "but, what? Still do, I thought I was done. They watched her as she paced back and fourth. "My child you time hasn't ended if you don't want it too; she smiled grabbing Buffy's hand... Buffy stared at blankly... The male smiled and waved his hand showing Angel "You love him tight?" He looked at her and she nodded. "He needs you alone you are nothing together your everything. Buffy's eye's filled with water and she sat down n the stone. "It's complicated we haven't been together in a while we are different people, we have different lives his soul... she whispered and looked to the ground. The younger one lifted her head and stared at her hard. "We have a proposition for you, the curse well it can never be permant it wasn't made to be fixed... Buffy's heart sank and she started to cry lightly, " What so I have to become vampire or angel human, god, we don't know how long and when we are near each other god its unbearable", she cried softly and the old women hugged her. "My sweet child, you won't need to do anything you'll be immortal until he becomes a human." Buffy stared at her confused. Fred, Gunn and Willow showed up running towards him, " Angel what's wrong... where's Buffy?" Willow stared at the vampire. "I don't know Will she just disappeared, I don't know, he looked scared and Willow gasped. "You mean I'll be with him entenially. They nodded and watched her expression. " But the curse, he could, The male put his finger on her lips and smiled, "no need for that now my childe your bound to him for life, he can and could make love to you and he wouldn't loose his soul but first you need to retrieve something for that." Buffy listened staring one to another. " You need to go to Ireland and get a Blue theresoran it 's engraved with a scorpion that is from the gypsy that cursed him if you bring that back and bind you blood and soul it will happen " so do you except." The older one picked up a flower handing it to her. " Gason ,Gason, she twirled it around," Do you accept, Buffy nodded and looked up at her "Yes" the lady chanted and spun around, "when given the theresoran and the ritual finished these two soul mates are bound for eternity and the chosen one a higher being. Willow stared at Fred then to Angel... "How did this, what happened, what did you say? Angel swallowed and a huge wind came fast around them he noticed something on the sidewalk, Buffy" He ran towards her "Buffy"... Chapter 8 Angel grabbed on to her tightly squeezing her to tight. "Angel... I am alright really." she smiled cupping his cheek. "We need to go home I need to talk to you alone." she looked towards Willow; they entered the office no one speaking... Dawn rushed toward Buffy. "Are you alright, what happened" she stared at her frightened. ": Dawnie I am alright I need to talk to Angel alone, please" she looked up at him. He nodded grabbing her hand. They entered his room she sat down on his bed patting it for him to join her. They sat in silence staring at each other. "Angel, I wasn't hurt I was, well I don't know where I was but I met someone." she grabbed his hand entwining their fingers together.... He waited for her to continue staring hard at their hands. "I saw the Powers that be" he swallowed watching her shiver, he stood and grabbed a sweater handing it to her, she smiled and put it on. "They told me I am needed... that we are needed, they, A crash downstairs rumbled the apartment. They looked at each other and ran down the stairs...." What happened you guys, what's wrong" Angel looked to where they were looking he froze staring at the person. "Conner." he swallowed looking towards Buffy then to him. "Hello Father!" England... it had been a week since Giles had left LA it could sense something that was unusual he walked closer to the building that now was the watchers council, three new ones sat around sipping coffee. "Do you think the Slayer and The vampire will go to Ireland, which would mean that we would be able to destroy the branch and everyone associated with it including them?" The brown short man smiled, "yes we do hope so don't we." The red head tall man smiled and lit a cigarette. Giles stared at the watchers and crept closer, but first we need someone that can do that, the older man with grey hair coughed, "Already done, happening as we speak, soon, they will be dead.... Giles gasped running away getting in his car he sped towards his apartment. LA Buffy stared at the boy then to Angel, "Father?" Chapter 9 "Father?" Buffy stared at Angel, her face grew hot and her temperature started to rise. The group looked around to each other and back to her. "How do you remember? I erased your memory gave you a normal life' Conner laughed coming closer to him. "You really think I could forget you father or even Cordy, the reason why you did it, she never loved you and you can't handle that. Buffy stared at them " In love with Cordy, What?" Conner smiled turning to her ""You must be Buffy the slayer, my father's great love, or was his great love if you only knew. Willow stood and walked towards him," I remember you but why I forgot and Cordelia was pregnant with your child! "Yes, Yes I remember too. Wes said standing besides her Buffy fainted hitting the ground hard. Conner laughed as Angel ran to her. "There are things to come and when they do you will wish you were, just wait... he disappeared into the night. It had been three hours since Buffy fainted, Willow Fred and Xander searched for a locator spell, Angel and Wes talked quietly Dawn was sitting with Buffy. Buffy stirred and opened her eyes she noticed Dawn and smiled. "Hey Dawnie, you've been up here the whole time, what happened." Dawn looked at her sadly "You don't remember Conner and Angel... Buffy sighed laying her head on Dawns lap, "Ya I meant about me... Dawn's lips shaped a o, There was a knock... "Let him in" Dawn opened the door and whispered, "You hurt her again and I will stake you myself, she turned and left. Buffy turned staring out the window, there was a long silence," I'm leaving LA" she stood and looked at him they stared intensely at each other, he frowned and sat on the bed. " Buffy it is complicated, Conner its, you were not a part of my life I could not just..." stop"; she grew angry glaring at him. "Why? How could you love her? I remember Willow telling me about him about Darla I was angry but Cordelia, I thought you couldn't, what if she woke up ,then what huh, why did you come back to me is it because I'm easy...." Buffy turned and cried lightly Angel grabbed her and hugged her from behind "God no baby, no it was a confusing time, we grew apart and well Cordelia and I grew closer, I don't love her the way I love you but she is in my heart. He wiped a tear from her face; Angel sat beside her and grabbed her hand squeezing it tight." I'm sorry about this I was going to tell you but I don't understand how he could remember, we need to find him, he's very alone and very dangerous... Chapter 10/11 Spike awoke gasping for air he looked around searching the room, he didn't know where he was, he looked to the window the sun shone through he felt his head and then his heart it was beating.… he was alive, he got up searching for answer's. Buffy laid her head down and sighed she wondered if the powers that be were real if they were telling her the truth would her and Angel be together forever or would they be destroyed . tears formed her eyes she fell fast asleep. Angel paced in front of his bedroom he wanted to talk to her but she was angry and confused he stopped leaning against the door. Dawn watched him quietly as she walked towards him. "Angel it will be okay just give her sometime, she loves you she's just confused." Angel stared at Dawn and hugged her, "Thank you for being here, I'm so glad she has you." Dawn smiled and kissed his cheek, "Always, Angel? I need to leave for a while, go to my dad's he needs to see, me can you tell her, please, I don't want to upset her right now." " Are you okay,, is something wrong" he stared at her intensly.she smiled and shook her head , " oh no , god no he just wants to see me has something to tell me, I just don't want to upset her you know Dad and her don't get along." " Ya I know, do you know how long?" "no, but not to long, I'll call k." she hugged him and grabbed her bags heading toward the stairs. She turned "Angel, please take care of her." Angel looked up and she was gone. Spike headed down the stairs he noticed a girl with brown hair and a green demon sitting at the table. "Bloody hell, where am I "fred seen him and smiled." Oh Spike your awake are you okay, did you sleep fine." Spike stared at the girl she was beautiful, " Where am I" Buffy dream's she was at a beach it was a beautiful day she looked around nobody was there she could smell the daisy s and the salt water, she sighed and sat down she looked over and noticed a little girl. Angel opened the door he peaked and seen Buffy sleeping he smiled slightly and entered, he grabbed the blanket on the black chair and placed over her, he kissed her forehead, she mumbled and turned over. he turned off the light and headed towards the gang. "Hi, my name is Buffy, what's yours." The little girl looked up and giggled, my name is Ariel." Buffy smiled and looked passed to a sign that said welcome to LA it was the year 2020. "Where are your parents" The girl looked up and a tear formed her eyes" My mommy and daddy are gone it's just evil here now." "Buffy gasped looking towards the little girl," What do you mean Ariel, what happened". she stood walking towards the little girl, The girl growled and touched her hand the sky turned black and it was raining Buffy frantically looked around she noticed Angel, she ran to him fast " Angel, oh god, Angel, what's going on. Angel smiled widely and grabbed her, " Buff, good to see you, want to help," he vamped and grabbed a boy who ran across the street he bite into him, Buffy screamed and ran away from him running into Xander. "Xander, oh, god, what has happened what went wrong..." He laughed harshly and vamped "Like you don't know Buff you're the one who created this world for us.... He growled and grabbed her, "want to have some fun. Buffy gasped kicking him in the balls, she ran toward the street when she noticed herself floating and glowing, her eyes where yellow and she was laughing loudly, her other self noticed her and smiled. " Its not that bad, god it's wonderful, Angel should of done this sooner, well , and we shouldn't of got that close you know , we should of went to Ireland but oh well this is funner. she pulled a woman with her powers cracking her neck and sucking the blood, she laughed harshly, Buffy awoke gasping for air she was sweating heavily. "Oh my god..." Angel walked into the lobby and noticed Spike. "SPIKE!" he ran grabbing his grand childe. Spike looked up seeing his sire." Angel, what the fuck." Wes stared at the two grabbing Angel's arm, " He's human now remember, you can't hurt him." Angel growled and punched him hard. Spike flew hitting the bookcase. Wes glared at Angel and he shrugged his shoulders "Doesn't mean I can't hurt him." Fred got up and ran to Spike, "Are you alright, are you hurt." England: Toply the new head honcho of the watchers council walked towards the window smoking his cigarette. "Do you think she will do it, Do you think she can destroy him." Greenvalt stared at his boss intensely. "Sure boss, she killed a man, broke out of jail and even killed the first with the help of Buffy and that vampire." "But how do we know we can trust her." Toply said flicking his cigarette out the window. "Oh I'm sure she'll do fine, she has more anger than anyone I know and the proposition that I gave her would I don't know would change any ones mind. "Ya well you better be right Greenvalt or you'll be answering to her, and I'll let her kill you." "How did you get her on outside anyways Boss, she supposedly loves him. Greenvalt said handing a whiskey to Toply. " Ya well I told her that she could have him, do whatever she wants with him, we just want Wolfman and Hart and well Buffy needs to be destroyed she is untameable could change the world into what we don't want so we need her. she's evil you know, she was the one who planned the whole rain of fire, it wasn't that Jasmine girl, it was her, she just needed the push." LA: Dawn walked towards her fathers house it was dark and she was cold, she could sense something wrong but she didn't know what it was, she hoped Buffy and everyone would be okay, but she needed to say goodbye to her father needed to leave, needed to leave forever. ******************************************************* Chapter 12 Buffy rounded the corner she watched as Angel punched Spike into the bookcase. Buffy ran towards Spike, "Spike is you okay. Spike stared at Them. "Buffy. where am I?" Buffy grabbed him and pulled him up." Your alive, you came back, let Fred get you something to drink and we'll explain. she placed him on the couch Angel watched and he stared at him, jealous, he growled Buffy noticed and walked toward him, she glared intensely at him," Why did you do that" she placed both hands on her hips glaring angrily. Angel stared at her she moaned and grabbed his hand, "We need to talk." he nodded following her to his office. She sat and pulled him beside her. "Angel I had a bad dream a prophetic dream, when I disappeared earlier on, I seen the powers they told me that I needed to go to Ireland, get this dagger it will bind your soul and mine in addition, we'll be together forever, they said they need us alone were nothing, together were unstoppable, Angel looked at her sadly, "Do you want too. She smiled widely at him, "Of course." Do you?" He pulled her close kissing her fiercely. "I have to go and I want you too but you can't and Willow needs to stay here. Angel let go of her moving away, "Who, Spike." She looked to the floor not meeting his gaze. He grunted" Fuck, Go! He pushed passed her. her looked at her tears forming her eyes, " You better go ask him," He slammed the door making Buffy jump, Buffy left walking into the lobby, Wes and Fred just finished telling Spike what they think happened. "So you guys haven't figured out what brought me back and Human? Angel entered brooding he looked at them and stomped up the stairs. "I read a Prophecy it says a soul Vampire saves the world and redeems himself he will turn human. Buffy gasped at Wes's words. "Angel he could of... she whispered watching him leave. " Buffy you alright luv" She looked towards Spike instantly." Spike. How are you? Are you okay?" she placed her hand on his arm Angel sat in the study staring toward the garden, everything was so peaceful and beautiful out there he thought. Cordy would like it. "I'm good Luv, you? He searched her eyes seeing pain. Pain from his sire. She smiled and grabbed his hands. Spike we need to talk she led him to his room. She sat and stared at him "come sit by me." He obeyed and looked at her. "Thank you, for everything for saving us, sacrificing yourself, this must be weird being back, not knowing why and here at Angels." She stood and ran her fingers through her hair. "I guess you're needed now, the powers aren't letting you die, and you're a champion like us. Angel could feel her; His hearing sharpened and could hear her he move closer to the wall. Spike watched her intensely not looking away. Fred closed her book and looked toward Wes and Lorne, Anything, not me" Sorry baby dolls, no luck, care for a drink?" Wes sighed and slammed his book down… I think we all do, let's go." " Do you love him still are you two together. Buffy swallowed and averted his intense stare " Yes I do, I never stopped and we aren't together physically but I need him he needs me, the world needs us, I just am scared you know him leaving again and all. She moved closer to him. He backed away moving closer to the door, Buffy grabbed his arm stopping him. "I never lied to you or to him about us. I did and do love you. Angel couldn't believe it what she said his heart ached at her words he groaned heading to the lobby, he grabbed the whiskey and blood and headed to his apartment. Spike gazed at her lovely she noticed and moved her hand," Your my best friend you were there for me through a lot but Angel and I are soul mates, we are meant for each other were not whole without each other, I love him Spike,. Spike stared at her he always knew he could never hold a candle to angel, But he was human maybe she could fall in love with him... He nodded and she walked towards the door," I need to go, but can we talk later Spike smiled " Always luv wouldn't happen to have a cigarette would you" she smiled throwing them to him. "Goodnight Spike," Goodnight luv. Buffy entered the main apartment she could hear the shower she could feel his anger. Angel stood under the shower he was so furious he knew she lied to him. Spike was human he could go in the sunlight with her... his Buffy. She entered the bathroom and shredded her clothes he could feel her and smell her he growled his eyes turned yellow he closed them, she always made he thinks of her he was intoxicated by her, Buffy got in and lathered her hand with soap she rubbed her hands down his chest he gasped and grew hard, he growled grabbing her and pulling her closer, he opened his eyes and gazed down at her she was so beautiful, but why was she here. "What happened to Spike?" He hissed, he glared at her angrily holding his raging hard on she was so hot and he could smell her arousal. " Why are you here, didn't I just hear you confess your love to Spike," Buffy glared and moved away she lathered her hair with shampoo, " You listened to my conversation, you were ease dropping, he watched hungrily as the suds ran down her breasts down to her core. " Ya I just... Buffy put her hand up stopping him. "You have no right remember, Son and all. He looked at her sadly, she moved closer touching his face lightly, "I guess your getting soft on spying." He looked at her confused, she smiled widely "You're what I want, you're all I need. she grabbed his cock, he moaned moving closer to her, and she gazed at him hungrily. "I love you Angel. He's my best friend I love him as a friend, Your everything to me, I would die for you, not for him... she kissed his neck and he grabbed her ass she squealed and turned grabbing the soap. "I know we can't be together physically but that doesn't mean we can't be together, Angel, god since I been around you do you know how alive I am feeling. He looked at her loving and grabbed her hand kissing it, "I know me too. Chapter 13a (INNOCENCE) " Angel, I love you are my heart my soul, I miss you, all of you, we use to be so close, once..., when we fought beside each other it was incredible." He smiled and pulled her under the water, he grabbed the soap rumbling it over her body, he started with her neck gently rubbing her breasts, she moaned leaning into him, he washed her stomach then her thighs to her feet, he grabbed her bottom making her giggle. Angel remembered the last time they were like this, when he had turned human, he bent down capturing her in a kiss. She moaned grabbing his hand guiding it to her core. He pause for a moment then entered her with two fingers, they both gasped, they looked at each other , Angel smiled at her she was all flushed and she closed. her eyes "Buffy baby, look at me." Buffy opened her eyes he smiled at her she could see the love in his eye's, she moved and pushed him to the wall she kissed him fiercely and moved down to his huge hard on, Angel moaned grabbing her hair and running his fingers through it. he swallowed him licking every inch of it. "Buffy oh god BUFFY! she sucked him harder. Peru: Drucilla stared at the stars she could feel her Spikey he was in pain, but something was different, she stood and walked toward the group, "LA, we need to go NOW, the stars say so. LA: Eve enters and spots no one she walked into the main where Spike was sitting. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a red tight shirt. " You must be Spike, nice to meet you, I'm Eve, and fell like talking I'll buy you a drink. Spike stared at her mesmerized, "Sure pet, love too, Spike smiled and stood following her... Angel roared and came hard she looked at him hungrily he pulled her to his lips, " god beloved your so beautiful, so amazing.", "I love you." she smiled" I've never did that before you know? / He stared at her shocked" Really?" He watched in awe. " yes , not riley or Spike just you, I imagined that so many times... , he looked at her staring at her closely , "Nobody's ever..." she blushed and turned her head. He smiled she still was so shy to him, his smile grew wider. " Well we will change that." He picked her up and dried her off, he looked into her eyes "I love, you I promise we will make this work. He led her into the apartment, "Hungry, thirsty. she smiled shyly and sat "sure." Buffy flicked on the channel, friends were on. It had been 30 minutes and she could smell the spaghetti, Angel entered with wine and a plate, Angel watched as she scarfed it down, " mmmmmmmmmmm, so good, yummy, just like you," she sat kissing him softly. Fred, Wes and Lorne sat at the bar it had been a couple of hours Fred felt a bit drunk, she looked over towards Wes he stared passed her. " Faith and Conner? Buffy finished and cleaned up, she sat spider ways on him. "Angel do you miss Conner, I wish we can find and help him." He smiled kissing her forehead I know love, and I'm glad your here to help me." There was aloud bang and the house shook, Buffy grabbed Angel there was another bang it shook sending Buffy and Angel through the window knocking them unconscious. Buffy awoke and peered at Angel, "Angel, and Angel." She shook him hard, "Angel, god please wake up." She looked around part of the building had been destroyed, she lifted him carrying him inside, she placed him on the couch there was pieces of wall everywhere. Buffy rubbed his head grabbing the first aid kit; she winced at the cut across her eye. Dawn stared one last time as she got on the bus, a tear formed her eye and she swallowed painfully, "I love you Buffy... Chapter 13b (Turbulence) Buffy watched Angel he was still unconscious and had been several hours she caressed his forehead sighing. Where was Dawn she wondered she hadn't seen her sister in a long time, she grabbed the phone dialling her sisters cell phone. Dawn sat at the back of the bus, it wasn't very crowded but she was tired and she didn't want to be bothered it would be at least twelve hours until she got to new York, they had to stop many of times so she had brought her journal she decided she would write for a while, her phone rang and she picked it up checking to see who it was, it was Buffy she placed it on the seat opening her book. "I love you Buffy, please be careful... she whispered. Willow walked faster down the alley it was getting Dark and she needed to get to Buffy and tell her Giles was missing, she rounded the corner and seen blocks everywhere, the Wolfman and Hart building had looked like a ball crusher had hit it, she ran in seeing Buffy hovering over Angel. " Buffy." she screamed and knelt before her friend " Are you alright, what happened?" Buffy looked up at her friend tears streaming down her face. "I don't know Will, we were talking and then there was a big bang we flew through the window and ...." she looked towards Angel Willow following her gaze." He hasn't woke up yet, it's been hours. Willow hugged her friend and helped her up. "Its okay we will figure this out, where's the gang? Buffy shrugged looking back at Angel. Willow turned on the kettle and sat at the table with her friend. "Buffy, Giles he's missing I called him but he hasn't returned my calls. Downtown: Conner and Faith sat at a booth new the back, they had downed three jugs of beer, Fred watched the two suspicious of them, and Wes noticed and sat by her. "Do you think they know each other WES? Wes looked towards them then back to her. "I don't know Fred but we will find out. PERU: Dru scowled and vamped out she grabbed a women crossing the street she sank her teeth into her the woman screamed franticly, she smiled at her minions and looked to the train. " Let's go, feed fast, I want to be there now." she threw the half ate women and brushed her hands on her dress, she looked up at the sky twirling fast " What's wrong Spikey, why cant I feel you , what has the slayer done to you." She jumped on the train hiding behind the cargo. LA: Buffy stood and paced back and fourth " We need to talk to the powers that be or the oracles., Willow think you can find them." Willow nodded and looked through the magic books she found one placed on top she looked trough it , she looked at Buffy " This is it lets do it." Willow chanted, "Amorie, Amorie tisk, tisk, Appear before me" Willow turned fast and a figure appeared in front of them "This had better be important I was busy." The demon looked to Willow than to Buffy. Willow smiled and walked closer." Skip right we need to see the oracles now, please." Skip laughed noticing Angel lying unconscious, /" Sure but they don't like those lower beings." Buffy growled and ran for him grabbing his throat. "Give me it now, tells me where they were or I'll kill you ... no problem." Skip looked at her uneasy, "You're the slayer, well telephone booth on third street." He smiled wickedly " Be careful what you see." he disappeared. Buffy turned to Willow and grabbed her jacket" take care of him Will, I'll be back." she ran into the night. Conner stared at Faith she was beautiful and a strong fighter. "She loves him but, why doesn't she know he's a killer." Faith laughed and he frowned "Of course little man she doesn't care, she loves him they are soul mates as they say." Conner frowned staring at her intensely. "Why are you helping me than aren't they your friends, you came to help Angel when Angelus was out." She laughed sipping her beer. "Angel Ya he's great Buffy well we have had are differences, she tried killing me for him, I understand but never forgive her for that." Conner grabbed her hand letting her up. "We need to go have things to do. Willow read the books of the new apocalypse that they had to face she sighed placing it down she noticed a red book, "Shansu Prophecy, ummm what's this" She read the beginning gasping loudly "Oh my Angel was suppose to be human but Spike he's human, it was for him, and it should have been him". she grabbed it and sat beside Angel. Buffy found the phone booth she sprinkled the dust willow had given her a door opened pushing her in. "Champion, what have you brought us." Buffy stared at them confused not knowing what they were talking about. "Ummm I am Buffy the... "We know who you are child the slayer the one, we've met before." I want to know what happened what is wrong with Angel... The man smiled coming closer to her. "You my child is off for a mission right." she nodded." There are forces, evil forces that are here trying to stop you from going, you need to go to Ireland and get the weapon, he cant be with you( sunlight) but you need his strength to get there he needs to feed off you and you need to mate on the full moon before you leave, you need his energy and he needs yours." " but his soul? I can't do that again." the girl came closer placing her hand on Buffy's shoulder. "Tomorrow is the full moon, he need to feed at 12 or after, he will awake soon, your destiny waits, and you're needed." "But his curse, what will happen." Buffy looked at them and to the ground she looked up to see Willow. "Willow, Buffy?" She hugged her friend and smiled "he is coming to, he's been calling your name but he's also been converting his face. Buffy looked sharply to Angel than back to her friend. "We need help, I need you to find the gang, and we need to be prepared." Willow handed her the book "I found this you might want to read it, be back soon." Angel stared at the black wall he noticed a figure sitting in the corner. "She wants me you know, it's me she craves, me she feels when your kissing her she's my mate and we will walk the earth together and freely. Angel growled jumping at him. "you're a pain in mine and her ass angelus she doesn't want you. Angelus laughed and punched Angel in the stomach slamming him into the wall. "When I bit her she came, came for me, she wanted me to make her mine." Angel growled slamming into him" Am I not right, she needs you as much as we need her. "No" Angel screamed kicking Angelus hard. "If she wanted you she wouldn't have sent you to hell, she would have stayed with you, I loved her but I had to leave her and guess what she was sleeping with Spike." Angel snickered punching him hard in the face. "You're laying Angel." Angelus grunted and roared. "Angelus charged at him and Angel moved out of the way." See spike even won her you couldn't even touch her." "I wouldn't talk Angel you're a part of me." No Angelus I am not didn't we figure that out last time in my fucking head. Conner stared into the window he watched Buffy caress his father he looked around at the damaged hotel. "Ummm wonder what happened here." Faith looked up at him "Stay I will be back." Skip walked the halls of Wolfman and Hart he wondered what had pissed the slayer off and what had happened to Angel, " Amorie, Amorie the voice screamed come fourth show yourself. Skip moaned disappearing " geez does anyone get some peace around here. He looked up and gasped. "Cordelia Chapter 14a Cordelia smiled wickedly at him. " Skip great to see you." "Cordy but I thought..." she laughed loudly "yes I know. Aim in a coma your wrong." she stood and walked towards him." "were going for a big ride skip..." Faith entered she seen Buffy kneeling over Angel, she watched as she caressed his face, Buffy looked up at her. " Faith?" Faith entered and sat beside her. "B, what happened? you okay?" Buffy shook her head sobbing slightly, "he hasn't woke up in hours." Faith watched as the pain flickered through her eyes and she felt bad for her. "I don't know yet, Willow is trying to find out, he hasn't woken up yet." Faith looked at her with confusion, She picked Angel up and looked towards Buffy, "Come on we need you to rest. She carried him up to his apartment and laid him down on the bed. Buffy followed lying beside him. Faith looked towards her then to him, " Sleep Buffy, I will see you later." Faith sighed feeling bad she didn't know why she had agreed to help the watchers council. Buffy moaned sitting up. "Faith!" "Ya B" "Thank you for this." Faith smiled opening the door, "goodnight Buffy" she was gone.... Angelus growled punching Angel hard She's mine Angel, soon, so soon." Buffy whimpered and laid her head down on his chest tears streamed down her face making a puddle on his chest. "Angel, I love you, please wakes up. Angel gasped and opened his eyes. Spike shivered it had been a while since he could feel anything they headed toward the pub Eve looked over at him. "YOU Okay?" He looked at her then to the sky "Ya, bloody cold out here, haven't felt this in awhile, well hundreds of years." Eve turned to him pushing him against the wall, she kissed him passionately making him moan," warmer now." she smiled wickedly and he grabbed her crushing his lips to hers. "Very, why did you stop... he mumbled in between kisses, She ripped off his shirt and slammed him into the ground she sucked on his nipple and undid his pants he moaned and pulled off her shirt. The gang rushed into the firm, it was dawn now, Willow found them and hugged them, and she knew Buffy and went upstairs. Buffy stared at her lover," Angel, oh Angel" she hugged him tight kissing him passionately. "Buffy I'm okay, what happened." She shook her head holding him tighter. "I don't know you've been asleep for a day maybe less. Angel looked at the clock then to her, "Did we...." She put her finger to his lips, " Nooo, we were talking them there was the blast and, Why is something wrong, she stared at him intensely burning holes through him. He looked at her then the ground taking a unnecessary breath he looked back at her grabbing her hand he lifted her on his lap. "I feel him Buffy, he is close I dreamt about him, about you?" Angel sighed, stood her up, and paced the room. "God I hate this Buffy I hate having to worry about him, maybe I should chain myself up." Buffy frowned and walked to him caressing his cheek she put her arms around him and hugged him tight. " we will find out what is going on, I went to see the oracles, they said that we needed to bond, that you need to drink from me for us to get through this apocalypse, maybe we need to?" Angel stared at her blankly, he couldn't speak he grabbed her hand and sat her down her rubbed the small of her back. " When Doyle died and gave Cordy the visions we searched for the Oracles they were no where to be found, when she became a higher being her guide told her they were destroyed somehow and it was only the powers left, we don't know what is going on, maybe we need to research more and find out who you talked to." Buffy stood and moaned " Why, who was it then, Willow she was the one who called for the messenger, his name was skim, no ummmm" tears formed her eyes, I don't remember his name for some reason, Willow would know." " But we need that sword Angel, and then you can figure out who you need to be with: Angel growled and his eyes turned yellow, she stepped back and looked at him, " I know you still care for Cordy I can sense it, I just meant." He growled and pushed her on the bed. " Your my mate Buffy, you'll never be without me, I am yours as you are mine." she tensed and looked up at him. "He growled and bared his fangs." Come on Buff, you know that as well as me." Buffy swallowed hard trying to wiggle free. "Angelus?" Chapter 14b (Lost time) Willow wondered if she could go see them she looked over to Gunn reading a book intensely. He looked up to her smiling, "Hey how are you doing? Finding anything?" she shook her head and sat beside him. Spike grunted and pulled her underwear off lifting her up so she laid into him" He stared at her she was damn hot, her breasts so perfect, he kissed her neck nibbling gently she moaned and jumped on him wrapping her legs around him, he slid into her he trusted hard and stops trying to control himself, he thrusted harder and they gasped to the roughness. He could smell her arousal not as much as before but he could smell her desire, she screamed climaxing hard bringing him right beside her. He growled "Buffy!" Eve stared at him Angrily. "Buffy I'm Eve hello! don't tell me you still want her after seeing her with Angel." She jumped off him. "Fuckin great, your pathetic she turned pulling her shirt and skirt on she turned and smirked at him. " That was great, better than I thought maybe next time, you will get the name right, oh and Spike get over her she way out of your league now, you know all human and all!" she walked away. NEW YORK: Dru decided she was hungry, the train stopped and she got out the sign flashed New York. It had only been a half a day she smiled clapping her hands jumping up and down. Oh yes, yes always liked New York, she giggled twirling slowly. Dawn finally entered New York it had been about a half a day, at least 11 or so, she grabbed her luggage getting off the bus she seen a phone booth and smiled, she dialled his number it rang five times and then they answered. "Xander, Hey its Dawn thought I'd stop by." There was silence and Dawn swallowed hard, "Dawnie, that you, where are you'll I'll come pick you up." Okay, I am at the bus station" Okay be careful I will be there shortly" "Cordy but how and when did you." Skip watched her as she smiled wickedly at him." I t was all part of the plan they think I'm gone, but I am not and I am going to show myself but as Cordelia. " But Cordy what about ..." Shut up skip, You'll know soon, very soon." " Wish me luck." Cordy seen Eve and followed her into the office. "Are you ready Eve?" Eve stared at her angrily, "Let's do it." she led Cordy up to Angel's apartment. Buffy stared at him she swallowed again and moved toward the wall. "Don't be scared," Angel, cried, he won't hurt you." Angelus laughed harshly, " You see Buff for some odd reason, we kind of being switched I don't know but, I like it." He snarled bearing is teeth. "Fuck, you got to be kidding me." she laughed harshly and glared at him., " Whatever, we need to know what is going on, you can be good I won't have to stake you." He looked up at her grinning wickedly. "What if I don't and you don't stake me?" She sighed and stood Angel looked at her painfully, "Buffy I don't know what is going on. we need to research." Buffy stared at him and hugged him. " Angel," he nodded and shook his head " I don't know how long and I don't know what is controlling us last time it was like this it was in my mind with Faith." she looked at him weirdly, " Oh Ya she told me, Huh."he smiled shyly" later, anyways we need to. Knock, knock. "Angel looked to the door and it swung open it was Eve and Cordelia." Cordelia." She smiled shyly." Angel hi." Buffy watched Cordelia she seemed different, odd different **************************************** Chapter 15 Dawn sat on the bench watching the families go by she frowned thinking of her mother, she had been gone nearly 3 years, she shook her head holding the tears back. Xander pulled up to the bus station, why was Dawn here by herself where was everyone else., he found her sitting on the bench crying. "Dawn is u okay." She looked up wiping the tears away "Xander Hi, Ya I was having a moment thinking of my mom that's all. He nodded understanding and grabbed her hand. "Ready my lady, care for lunch, and a drink." she smiled and nodded her head. "Yes please." He grabbed her bag and looked at her, " then maybe you can tell me why your here." Dru watched from a distance, "Hmmm the slayers sister interesting, yes yes this will be fun." she followed them silently. Buffy stared at the Ex cheerleader, she had gained weight and chopped her hair, blonde. she chuckled at her appearance, Cordy seen her and turned to her. "If it isn't Buffy (how's the bitch doing.) she smiled but kept that to herself, Uh hi good to see you. Buffy crossed her arms staring at her she was strangely different , she was going to find out what was up with her when they figure out about Angel, Skip watched as Buffy's eye's turned a red colour and he grabbed Cordelia transforming them. They were gone. Angel stared at Buffy then to the door, " What happened." she shrugged and sat on the bed, " I don't know but we have bigger things like Angelus to deal with." he smiled turning towards her. "Aww what's wrong Buff, can't handle me, I'm more of a man than he is." Buffy laughed and kicked him hard, putting her foot on his neck. "Listen, watch it or I'll stake you, I love Angel I don't like you, you piss me off, I will kill you". She grabbed him shoving him out the door and down the stairs. "Cordelia, you cannot do this don't you read the prophecies it will change it all." He looked at her and she laughed. "Of course, the strongest slayer, the most powerful weapon in the world, and If it all goes right and you co-operate too, she will be the most pure one. Skip shook his head and looked down at LA. " What is it Cordelia, What do you need her for, she isn't evil she good, pure." Cordelia growled and grabbed him by the throat slamming him against the wall. " She'll be our fighting machine, the purest one, turned evil to destroy the world, she has it in her skip she just hasn't found it yet, but just wait, she will find it on her own and when she does I'll be there to greet her." Skip stared at her frightened and looked at the city. Downtown LA: It was late and he knew they would be looking for him soon; he entered the abandoned building putting down his axe and turning on the light. "Hello, are you there?" he looked around noticing a chair he sat and rubbed his head. "Yes Conner I am here, Did you see your father?" Conner turned to her staring at the older women, "Yes but, why are you so Intrested in Angel." she smiled and walked closer to him. "let's just say he use to be a pain in my ass." He looked at her blankly, "I've seen you before in pictures with Buffy who are you? she smiled "All in good time my boy, make sure you get him to leave with Buffy no matter what, Okay." He nodded and she started to float, Conner watched her disappear he was confused he wanted to kill his Father to destroy him and that firm and with Faith's help not to send him away not to help him but she came to him last night showing him things that he couldn't even imagine, what was going on and who was this mysterious women. England: " Yes, oh uh huh, no we didn't realize, who?, when did she show up, who was she with? I didn't realize she was, oh I better get the boss, and she might be a problem." Toply hung up the phone running to the main office. "Boss, Boss, we have a problem." Traveller turned around looking at Toply; he butted his cigarette and sat down. "yes Toply, what is it, I uh just talked to Faith she said we have a problem, The witch she's with them." Okay Toply get packing we need to leave if we want this to work." Traveller stood and walked to the door, "see if Rupert is awake yet, I'm sure he'll love to see us. Toply nodded leaving the room. Willow smiled as Buffy and Angel walked down the stairs, "Buffy, Angel your okay." she stood walking to her best friend. "Everything alright." Bhuffy shook her head looking toward her then to Wes and Gunn and Fred who watched them closely. "Actually no." Angel walked to the couch sitting on it pulling Buffy on top of him. "It seems we have another player in this apocalypse. They watched as he laid his head on Buffy." Who Angel, what is going on." Buffy sighed and stood " Angelus it seems he is making appearances and he isn't leaving, I don't know why, but we need to find out, because I need to leave for the weapon and I can't until we find out why, Angelus is here." Angel stood and wrapped his arms around her. " It will be okay Buffy, we will figure it out, I promise." She turned and kissed him softly," I don't want to kill you again, I can't I would die before that happens." tears formed her eyes. Willow grabbed her shoulder spinning around. "Buffy don't worry we will find out." Wes stood looking at the couple, "We have another problem, Conner he well has someone helping him." Angel looked at his friend in the eyes. "Who Wes," Fred grabbed a cup pouring some water and handing it to Buffy. "Uhhh, I think we should all sit down first." Fred said looking at the group. "No Fred who is it." Buffy asked angrily." " its Faith Buffy she, is the one who was with Conner, she is I guess running for the other team." Buffy stared at was then to Angel she growled and her eyes turned red, Angel looked at her frightened and so did the gang. "Buffy, are you alright." Angel walked towards her and she growled again walking right passed him. " That bitch." she stopped at the door," I'll be back." She ran fast out the door. "Buffy!" Angel screamed he ran chasing her and Wes grabbed his arm. "Leave her Angel, we need to find out about Angelus, How to get him back in I suppose." Fred, Gunn and Willow nodded and started to research. Wes grabbed Angel and pulled him into the kitchen. " Buffy she can handle herself. Nevertheless, there is something going on, her eyes glowing red. Angelus, faith, Conner, I just don't understand, we need to find the powers or the oracles see if they can help. Angelus laughed and Spike came barling in huffing continues. "Uh guys, we have a problem." They looked at him weirdly. "Spike was is it," Willow snarled looking from her book. "It's Dawn she's missing, I've looked everywhere for her, she isn't no where to be found." Chapter 16 Xander and Dawn entered his apartment he led her up the stairs and into the first room. He placed her bags on the bed and turned to her. "It's pretty small but it has it's own bathroom he pointed to the connected room, take a bath I'll will see what I have to drink." She nodded and placed her self on the bed she watched him leave and she opened her bag she grabbed a pair of sweats and a shirt and headed into the bathtub. Xander headed to the living room and grabbed the phone dialling Willow's cell phone. "Hello!" Willow said gasping for air. "Will its Xander, Umm I have dawn she showed up here today." He said opening the fridge and grabbing two sodas. Willow sighed, "Oh Xander, good, I'll let everyone know, would it be okay if she stayed there a while." Xander said yes the sipped his pop. "What's happening Willow, what's wrong." Willow hesitated and watched the group stare at her. "I don't have time, but it's big, I will let you know as soon as we do okay?" They talked for a fee more minutes and willow said goodbye. Angel stared at Willow then to Spike. He moved closer to Willow and grabbed her arm. We need to keep Angelus away right now, do you know how too, I'm worried he might do something." Willow searched Angels face and nodded. "Do you think you can concentrate and tell me when you think he's coming?" she asked grabbing a spell book off the table. "yes, I'll try please hurry, I need to find out. he turned to his childe and looked at him carefully, " Buffy she might be in danger can you please go check on her. Touch her though and die." Spike swallowed hard and backed away. "Yes angel." he disappeared through the door. Buffy snarled she couldn't believe Faith could be in on it again, she snorted, "always trying to mess things up." She stooped and stood trying to feel her sister slayer, she couldn't feel her, she seen a cemetery and headed for it. I mine as well kill something while I'm out here. she pulled out her stake and sat on the tombstone. Spike walked toward the town he couldn't sense her anymore or smell her since he took human form but he did know her and he knew where to look he spotted a cemetery and headed towards it. Fred watched Angel and Willow talk they looked scared and Angel seemed exhausted, she stood and headed to the kitchen grabbing the blood container she poured a glass and walked towards them. she sat and looked to her friend. "Here Angel you need to eat, your exhausted. He tried to smile and took the cup. "thanks Fred." He gulped it and wiped his mouth. "Have you found anything yet?" Fred asked grabbing her lab top and searching as well." I don't know yet, it says for this type of situation when their human but not vampire." Angel walked to the training room and grabbed the chains bolting him in. Spike found her sitting on a large tombstone swinging her stake, mumbling angrily. She turned and looked at Spike. "Spike, what's up?" she didn't move just looked at him. He shrugged and sat besides her looking at her strangely. "you tell me, luv what's got your panties in a bunch." she glared at him and stood, twirling her stake in her hand. "Guess they never told you huh, didn't think they would. Right after you came back Angel and I went to go get food for everybody and well I disappeared talked to The Powers that be, they told me I had to go to Ireland and get this dagger thing to bind my and Angel's soul." Spike listened to her silently he averted his gaze and looked to the ground. "So what did he say?" Spike asked. She looked at him sadly "he wants too but he can't come with me and the only one who can is you , but then the building shook knocking us out of the building and knocking Angel unconscious and now he is kind changing, he's Angelus ,then he isn't." Spike looked at her confused. He watched as tears formed her eyes and she pushed him away. Spike stood and walked to her hugging her. "I will go for you luv, and you can stay here." Buffy smiled and a tear fell. "Thank you Spike but they said I had to go, it was me who needed to find it, I can't leave Angel like this he's to dangerous, for all of us." Spike pulled away and looked at her. " If we need to deal with angelus we will you have before, willow can just restore his soul if that happens and I have learned some things from Angelus I know they way he thinks, it will be okay Buffy , really." He looked at her sadly brushing her tears away. Buffy leaned in kissing his cheek she smiled at him and grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry Spike for everything; I didn't mean ... Spike stopped her by putting his finger over her mouth. "Buffy I'm glad I did it, this .me being human, I can get to liking it, and I never thought I would see a sun and feel it again. I mean." he pulled away from her and looked at the stars. She sighed and stood beside him they watched the Sunrise and Spike smiled Buffy watched his eye's flicker with happiness and she smiled at him. "Spike you are my best friend you were there for me no one else was please remember that." Spike smiled and turned towards her. "Why else were you mad Buffy I can still feel some serious vibes. She looked at him and then to the street. "Faith she's somehow, involved with Angel's son and we don't know why." Spike laughed and shook his head. "I could told you she would fall of the wagon again, it's in her nature, she likes the dark side, and a lot of us do." Buffy looked at him and crossed her arms staring at him blankly. "I agree but Angel thought he could save her soul." she turned and started to walk. Spike followed her. "I'm sorry pet about not telling you about the boy, I heard it through the grapevine, you know from the demons. I didn't want to stir up anything." Buffy frowned but let it go, they turned back to the W/H building and entered it. Buffy smiled at Spike and he smiled back, " I'm glad we talked I'm glad I got to see the sunrise with you." Angel heard and angelus roared loudly. Buffy heard and rushed into the training room running seeing Angel chained up. "Angel is you alright." Buffy asked moving towards him cautiously, he growled and bared his fangs to her. "He was right, soul boy was right, you fucked my childe." He growled again a and yanked his chains, Buffy backed away and the others entered. Watching silently. She walked closer and crossed her arms glaring at Angelus. "You're my mate I'll kill him for that," he yanked at the chains again and averted his gaze to Spike he snarled and growled glaring at Spike. "My mate you fuck, I'll kill you when I'm free." Angel roared making everyone jump slightly. Buffy laughed hard and Angelus turned his gaze to her growling loudly. " Your not my mate, Angel is, Soon you won't even be here so just shut up." she walked to him closer and he watched her intensely watching her every move, she then turned to the group and stared at them, we need help now, we need Giles.. she turned to willow. "I still can't find him, his cell phone." "I'll go." Spike said Buffy looked at him and so did the group and Angel growl behind them trying to escape. "Are you sure." Buffy asked. Spike nodded and looked at them. "I'll go now." Wes followed Spike loading him with weapons. Willow watched Buffy as she turned around Angelus caught her off guard grabbing her tightly he grabbed her neck baring it in front of him. "You're my mate Buffy, and he will die, you will be mining forever not Angel's or even Spike's, Mine.... He sunk his teeth into her flesh and she screamed.......... Chapter 17 Willow rushed to Buffy trying to pull her off Angelus. Angelus growled in pleasure and sucked harder making Buffy moan, she shivered in pleasure and pain. He groaned and screamed pushing her off him. she fainted and fell to the floor, instantly willow rushed to her holding a piece of clothing to her neck. Angel looked on at them frightened. "Buffy, are you alright? Willow asked and Angel watched them intensely not taking his eyes off of the little slayer. "Buffy, oh buffy." Angel roared and thrusted himself against the wall growling intensely. " No Buffy.!" he punched the wall smashing a hole. Buffy laid on the floor for about an hour Angel knew that much all he did was stare at her. She had lost a lot of blood from him and he cringed, he hated himself for hurting her, for letting angelus hurt her. He could feel Angelus stirring again he shook his head, no i'm not letting you out, you hurt her you bastard. Angelus laughed " She enjoyed it soul boy, she wasn't pulling away." Angel shook his head again ," No, she didn't , did she ." He looked over to her frail formed and lowered his eyes to the ground. Maybe she did want angelus, she knows he would never hurt her intentionally, he could have her .....physically , he punched the wall and growled again shaking the whole room. Willow came in and looked at him hesitantly, " Angel, If we don't find this blade fast it might be you and angelus like this.... forever ." She looked away making sure Buffy hadn't woken up. " What?" He asked sliding down the wall. " She needs to go Angel, but you like this isn't good either." "What will we do then "he asked holding the witches gaze. "I can handle it, just be calm try not to let him stir if you can I'm going to get Buffy and take her upstairs." Angel nodded and watched her pick up his slayer and left the room. He fell fast asleep. Both Angel and Buffy dreamt Buffy looked around she was in a covent somewhere there was many of her friends there , she seen willow and Xander and Wes But where was Dawn, Spike she walked towards Willow . " I don't know if I can do that Xander I mean it's Buffy she's still Buffy somewhere inside. "Willow said scrunching her nose up. Buffy stopped listening carefully to her friends she gasped in horror when she walked right through them. " But Will she's un stoppable, she murdered hundreds maybe thousands. she needs to be stopped." Buffy backed away hearing Xander's words she lost her balance bumping into a table. Buffy walked along the corridor it was long and very black she could hear snarling and growling coming from the corner room and she turned to it, peering inside, she seen her vampire self staring at someone with bloody eyes drooling and snarling. " You lied to me." Vampire Buffy snarled. Human Buffy snuck in closer she couldn't believe it it was Angel . " i can't let you do this Buffy, you need to stop." She purred and licked her lips looking seductively to Angel. " Your my mate Angel, why are you doing this." she grabbed the bars pressing her breasts against them. He stood and walked closer to the cage." I'm not your mate Angelus was and he's gone, forever and your definitely not her, she would of fought she wouldn't of sunk her self this low, my Buffy is gone, and your what's left." she growled and paced the room hissing loudly, " I never left your side, i never asked for this.... Angelus did this, but god Angel were free we can roam the earth as rulers." She peered at him through the bars her vampire features disappearing. " Not like this Buffy come on, let me help you." he walked up cautiously placing his hand against the bars where hers were. " Please come back to me, to all us." Buffy groaned at angel's touch but shook it away. " No, I won't..." Angel backed away and changed into game face he peered back at her with yellow, eyes. " Then one of us will die... And he was gone. " Noooo" Buffy screamed and woke up she had been dreaming but it felt so real , she wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked to the clock. It was 7 pm what happened. Angel awoke in a sweat he had a dream Buffy was a vampire and he was going to kill her, he slouched in the corner staring blankly at the floor. Buffy headed to the training room she could feel Angel he seemed distressed. " Angel?" He shot his head up scanning his love. " Buffy , your okay aren't you please tell me your okay." She felt the wound and hissed silently she walked to him sitting next to him. "I'm okay really it's not that bad really. Are you alright." She asked and grabbed his face caressing him softly. "I love you Buffy no matter what I promise.. we will get through this." she watched as his features changed in the moonlight and she remembered her face the way it looked and she shivered at the thought. " Could I stay for a while, I don't want to be alone." she asked softly and He grabbed her gently wrapping his arms around her tightly. " Well get through this I promise." He said whispering in her ear. Spike headed for the train it loaded and began to leave he hitched on the the back getting into a cargo bunk, he pulled out a poetry book and began to write. Cordy watched the two lovers and laughed loudly, "Yes, yes it's started, soon, she be on our side... she growled and chanted bestowe, bestowe, come before me, A light appeared and a body fell out of the sky, it was a girl she was small and she had brownish hair, cordy smiled and walked towards the girl. The girl looked at her in strangely. "Anya hi good to see you." **************************************** Chapter 18 ? Dawn dried off and dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt, Xander's Apartment was better than what he had been living in. she smiled at the pictures of all of them. She walked to the end of the hall heading down the stairs Xander looked up from the t.v and smiled at her. "Dawnie, hey feel better." He asked patting the spot beside him on the couch. Dawn smiled and sat looking around his room. " I talked to Willow." Dawn 's head shot up looking at him frightened. " What, but.." " It's okay Dawn they asked if you could stay here, something is going down and Willow well she didn't tell me much." Dawn looked at Xander then to the phone. " Buffy is she..." Xander smiled and handed her a can of pop. "She's fine... wanna rent some movies". He asked and she smiled and nodded, he grabbed his jacket and waited for her to get ready. Buffy watched Angel intensely not saying anything just mesmerizing his every feature she frowned at the thought of her turning into a vampire and Angel having to kill her. Angel watched her as she burned holes through him he swallowed hard grabbing her arm pulling her closer to him. He sniffed her hair the vanilla scent filled his senses and he purred into her, she sighed and entwined her fingers with his playing with his ring... her ring ..he had never taken it off. " Angel, are we going to make it, will we be alright?" She looked at him sadly waiting for him to answer, he felt like he was going to melt from her gaze . He wanted to hope they would be okay, but they'll never know. She figited in his arms and he held her tighter. He looked into her eyes grabbing her kissing her gently on the lips. she moaned and tears fell from her eyes. " Why can't we go and never come back, they'll survive without us fine ,they have faith and Giles and each other. She sobbed harder and looked to the ground. She had been trying to be strong for so long, trying not to let it bother her but the dreams seemed so real. She looked back at him and laid her head on his shoulder." Angel, please.. I can't do this again, not ever." The tears spilled on them as he cradled her in his arms rocking her softly. " Buffy I,,," She stopped him putting her lips to him trying to touch every inch of his body.. Dru smiled it was feeding time soon and she needed to find the slayers sister, and Spike her spikey.She seen a few peple walking the streets she walked toward the town, she walked by a store stopping she smiled, ohh I have to have that she entered the shop staring hard at the neclace. " Your'e not welcome here vampire." The old women said grabbing a big cross that was under the counter, "leave now or don't leave at all." Dru smiled and changed jumping at her knocking the lady to the floor. The sky went Black and lighting hit.......... They couldn't breathe , Buffy gasped as the broke apart and she groaned and looked at Angel . " Can we go to the room and just stay there all night, I just need you." She traced his arms towards his chest making him quiver. He nodded getting up and looking towards the lobby. " Should we say anything?" He asked looking down at his blonde slayer. " ya I need to speak to Willow, can I meet you up there. " He kissed her cheek letting her hand go. Buffy found Willow searching on the computer. "Hey Will." Buffy said sitting beside her best friend." Hey Buffy." Willow said smiling, she turned and hugged Buffy. " Will I need a favour, do you think you can do a spell?" buffy said staring at her anxiously. " What kind of spell?" Willow asked, Buffy sat brushed her hair with her fingers. " A protective spell for a while, See if you could maybe Hold Angel's soul for ... She turned away shyly looking to the ground " I just need this, he does too." Willow looked at her friend sadly and grabbed her hand. " I can do that I remember seeing something, If anything goes wrong! already have orb of thesela." Buffy looked at her big big eyes and Willow shrugged pushing her out the door. " I come prepared, go be with him. We will be fine, I'll tell the others not to disturb you." Buffy smiled and hugged her friend. " thanks Will, I love you." " I too and I'll do the spell whether or not okay. "willow said shutting the door. She sat back in her chair typing in curses. Buffy walked up the stairs to Angel's apartment she could hear him rummaging around she opened the door and he had put a plate of food in front of her and wine.. " mmm yummy, what is it." He smiled and sat at the table, waiting for her to join. "Leftovers from the gangs lunch, goulash i guess." He shrugged and she smiled he was so happy now, not as broddy as before, she wondered if it was her that made him that way, she frowned and looked at her plate he noticed lifting her chin up. He knew what she was thinking cause he was thinking the same.. he pulled his chair closer putting his hand on her leg rubbing it gently. He grabbed her kissing her passionately her body started to hum and she groaned Angel stopped looking at her , he watched her cautiously. " Buffy we shouldn't..." she kissed him again this time biting his tongue lightly, " Shut up and kiss me.." She growled lowly and grabbed the back of his head , Angel grew harder , he could feel her core getting wetter and he cried softly he buried his face in her neck enjoying her warmth, the smell of her arousal, her beautiful breasts baring slightly. " Buffy we .." She ripped off his shirt and shoved him hard onto the floor she sat on him grinding hard. " it's covered, for awhile." she groaned loudly nibbling at his neck.. " Please Angel, Fuck me.... Chapter 19 Angel stared at Buffy with anticipation he's cock got harder and he growled. She looked at him hungrily and pulled off her pants and placing her crotch on his bare chest , he moaned loud and looked at her, he hesitated and she kissed him hard putting him inside of her they both gasped at the feel of each other, Angel waited while she got ajusted to the size, she looked at him and smiled she bit his lip again this time making it bleed she sucked on his blood and he grew harder. " God Bu-ffy." he whimpered and grabbed her ass moving her up his cock he found her clit and rubbed it roughly she murmmerd softly and rode him faster. He watched her as she became aroused her hair grew fussy and her face flushed , her nipples grew harder she groaned going faster on his cock. She paused and he remembered something she had said the other day, he flipped her over kissing her neck, licking every inch of her body her eyes fluttered shut in the moment and she smiled slightly. He moved down to her clit, licking it softly she moaned again grabbing his head. He smiled and groveled her making her tremble in extacy she came hard as he lick her core clean , he looked at her and smiled wickedly , her eye's fluttered shut again and he heard her purr, " Oh god angel ... that was amazing." She grabbed him and kissed him hard gliding his cock into her centre. He paused and started to get up. "Not here buffy lets go to the room.." He asked and she stood grabbing his hand and leading him to the couch he sat and she sat on him . "It don't matter where it is Angel, as long as it's with you." he entered her again they moaned together she sat there not moving. "Buffy are you okay." "yes, "she breathed, "I can't get enough of you I want you deep inside me I want to stay like this forever.. They spent hours in extacy enjoying eachothers every feature every inch of their bodies was pleasured. Willow found a spell but she didn't know how to get to them with out distrubing the others not telling them what she was doing , since she was not sure it would work. She snuck by them and headed up the stairs, she hoped they hadn't finished yet. Willow sighed and opened the book." trese, trese, hear me , protect the man from the beast , trese trese, protect the man from the beast. Willow eyes turned white and she started to float. Angel roared in pleasure shaking the whole house, Buffy screamed in passion digging her nails tightly into his back. Buffy could hear chanting. "Trese trese, protect the beast man." Angel roared again spilling his seed inside of Buffy she trembled and came with him . Angel screamed again but in pain this time he turned her over and fell to the ground. He panted loudly holding his chest. " Aww, Fu-ck B-u-f-f-y." His face converted to his demon and he roared in pleasure. " Yes," he's eyes went golden yellow snarling down to Buffy. " that was great Buff, getting better, but we will do it again very soon, but right now..." He grabbed her by the shoulders slamming her to the wall. " I need to feed." He looked to her then to the window and he grabbed her throwing her against the wall jumping into the night. Buffy screamed " No." she fell to the floor into a heap. sobbing franticaly" Angel." Chapter 20 (The Transformation) Angelus roamed the dark streets he was so aroused that he couldn't think straight, god she was like a bullet to the heart, she had pleasured him so well and he liked it, but , he didn't want to like it she was his enemy... He growled and vamped seeing a young boy walking down the street he grabbed the boy from behind and bit down sucking the blood dry, he slurped it down hungrily not letting the boy's cries bother him. He heard laughter and a scream and his head shot up he recognized that scream... "Faith" " You'll die in to seconds , so mine as well try and beat me." Faith said spin kicking the vampire hard Angelus watched in amusement, she grabbed the vampire flipping him over and staking him instantly she felt him and turned. " Angel, uh hey, what's up." She brushed her hands on her pants and looked toward him ." Faith. Looking good, really good." Angelus's said and his cock grew harder she was wearing leather pants and a black tank top which was very odd to Angelus since it was bellow 0, he could see her hard nipples peeking through moaned and began rock hard. " Angel." She stared at him confused and he walked to her crushing his lips to her. She tried to pull away but he held her there she could taste the warm blood and his lips and for some reason it aroused her he grabbed her ass squeezing it tightly. She looked at him strangely. She remembered how Angel had kissed her when Buffy and him had set her up, this was different more real, more dark. He bit at he lip making her core hum in anticipation she grabbed his head with her hand pulling his hair slightly. " Angelus." she cocked her head to the side and looked at him, he grinned widely and pulled back grabbing her breast twisting it roughly Buffy looked to the door as it shot open Willow ran to her and soon the others joined. " Buffy are you okay." Willow asked hugging her friend tightly." Buffy what happened." Wes asked leaning against the door " where's Angel?" Buffy's eye's grew wide and tears hit the floor Fred rushed to her cradling her in her arms. " he left. It didn't... she choked and sobbed harder, grabbing her legs and pulling them closer to her chest. she looked to Willow . " I ....he was fine, then he fell to the floor it was instantly right after." Wes looked to Buffy and his eyes grew dark and she swallowed hard averting his gaze. He looked at her, she was so fragile, she had grown up a lot, turned out to be a strong women and the strongest slayer ever. He walked to her putting out his hand in front of her she excepted and took his hand he looked at her and led her out of the room and into the lobby. They sat around the lobby silently, Buffy looked at her cup, not looking to the group but feeling their intense stares. Willows heart sank as she watched her best friend fall to pieces she regretted even trying to do it, she shouldn't of. Buffy could feel something bubble in the pit of her stomach and she could feel the puke coming up she stood rushing to the bathroom , choking on the vomit that poured out of her throat. Willow watched her leave and looked to Wes and the gang. England: Boss, I uh." What is it Toply didn't I ask you to get Rupert." Traveller asked staring intensely at his employee. " Sir, we have a problem, Rupert he seems to be gone." " What , gone, what do you mean gone." Traveller asked anger rising. It was bright and warm , Giles could see beautiful trees, bushes it was so peaceful, he noticed a girl sitting in the field he walked to her sitting beside her. " hello." Giles said looking at the little girl. " Hi, Giles my name is Ariel." Giles looked to her confused." How did you know my name." she giggled and stood running to the daises. " I was the one who brought you here." She looked up at him sadly." You need to get back, to LA people need you there. "Giles stood and looked at her. "Why what's going on... who are you. "The girls face turned sad and she walked to him grabbing his hand." I'm a friend. Buffy and Angel they need you, your needed in the ritual...Angelus, he's back and you need to stop it. Giles stared in shock at the little girl. "Angelus." She nodded and placed her hand on his forehead. I'm part of the oracles , the powers that be, buffy she had been told to leave days ago but, certain circumstances had stopped her, and now she might not make it at all, go.. please trust me, I'll be in touch." She smiled and disappeared Giles woke up in a sweat he looked around he was in his car were he had just been, but for some reason, he remember getting into a car accident he shrugged it off, starting the car and headed to the airport. Wes looked to Willow and paced the room." they had sex, and you knew about it, why would you..." " Wes, I did a spell, but I felt something, I don't know why it didn't happen, ..I" Wes grew angry and stood in front of her. " Do you know what this means the apocalypse it has started you let it start." Wes threw up his hands glaring at the red haired witch. Gunn's mouth dropped and he looked to Willow, " You , he's Angelus What!" Buffy stumbled out of the bathroom falling on the couch loudly making everyone turn. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was all messy she wiped her mouth grabbing her cup and drinking the hot liquid. " it's not her fault it would of happened not matter what... whatever the consequences." her head shot up staring intensely at Wes. " You know that as much as I do Wes." she looked to Fred and Gunn who stood silently towards the back. " I'm sorry for this, I knew the consequences I just.." she sobbed and turned away looking back to them tears fell from her eyes." I'm so sorry." she whispered and fled the building she ran fast not looking behind or answering Willow screams for her to come back, she was devastated she wanted to crawl in a hole and die, god, she was so stupid, to endanger them again she sobbed harder and wiped her sore eye's. her stomach rumbled again and she choked throwing up by the dumpster, wiping her mouth she turned and headed down the alley to the park. Angelus growled and ripped Faiths shirt off exposing her bare skin and red cotton bra. He then unzipped his pants ripping her pants off entering her he thrusted her sending pain shocks through the slayers body Faith moaned and bit at him , digging her nails into his arms. Buffy ran fast tripping continuously , she felt him close she ran faster trying to find him she seen two shadows down the way she crept up slowly. Angel thrusted harder making her scream in excitement she came hard. Faith's went light headed and she watched Angelus face transform and his eye's grow darker. He came with her spilling his seed into her, his fangs glistened in the night and she bared her neck to his. " I'll stay with you eternaly." She whimpered and Angelus grunted, he could feel Buffy close and he cursed himself, for some reason he didn't want her to see him like this. Buffy stopped gasping at the sight of Angelus and Faith ,her heart sank at the sight and her stomach rumbled again and she covered her mouth watching them silently. Angelus laughed and opened his mouth he grabbed her neck leaning closer to her . he could smell the lust and the want and he could taste the blood , Buffy walked closer . He could feel his mate come closer and he roared "can't do that faith already have my mate, "he growled planting his hands on both sides of her neck he ginned and he snapped her neck watching her fall to the ground. Buffy gasped and Angelus heard her and turned staring at his mate. His features stayed the same but cautiously he moved in closer, grinning widely... " Thought she could be my mate, had to let her know my answer, good ..fuck ,but ,would not want to be with her eternaly .God, I would get bored. "He bared his fangs looking intensely at the blonde slayer. " Come on buff, this will be great, you and me.. He moved in closer and she backed away tripping on the sidewalk. She knew he wouldn't hurt her not now anyways Probably not ever, she was his mate she knew he could never forget that, she bared his mark. Spike sat in the cargo bunk staring at the moon, he felt something strange the sky seemed darker and there was definitely evil, he wasn't a vampire anymore, but still had the sixth sense for it, he grabbed his bag bringing it closer opening and grabbing an axe and gently placed it beside him. A howl came loudly and Spike looked out , it was a werewolf howling to the moon. The werewolf growled and then howled loudly scurrying around the park, it sensed something dangerous, it ran fast in the night, searching the forest. ************************************** Chapter 21 ????? Angelus growled grabbing Buffy she was scared and he could tell. it bothered him that she was so scared of him, he didn't want to scare her she was his mate. Buffy had a idea she smiled slightly and stared at the vampire. " Will can you hear me." Buffy asked in her head." Willow are you there." The gang sat around the lobby not really knowing what to say. " Buffy.. she killed him before sent him too hell right?" Fred asked looking toward the witch." Willow" Willow's head shot up she could hear Buffy she looked around the room not seeing her anywhere. " Buffy." Willow asked in her mind. " Will, I found him I have a plan, can you somehow put us in a spell so that you can track us, in case we need you too." Willow frowned." Buffy I don't think we should, because of.." " Will can you ...it wasnt your fault." Willow smiled a little and looked to the group," we can do that where are you, what's going on." " Well Angelus dosen't really know why we are getting the dagger in Ireland I never had a chance to tell Angel, so what I am going to do is trick him." Buffy realized she had her beeper and smiled more." I have my beeper, every three hours I will beep you okay, If I don't anwser please come find me." " Buffy are you sure." Willow asked " Yes we will contact you soon." Angelus watched as his slayers face went from frightened to a smile, he wondered what she was thinking of ,what was she planning. He crept closer to her looking into her green eyes," Angelus." Buffy said in a husky voice. He nodded but didn't move. She smiled grabbing him and pressing her warm lips on him. She waited for him to open and he did willing, she bit his tounge sending pleasure down his spine. " Thank you" She said kissing his earlobe now. " for what" he asked She pulled away from him looking into his brown eyes his features had softened more since the episode with Faith. " Never liked her after what she did to me, so I'm glad you did it for me." A smile crossed her lips and she looked at him seductively. He grinned and pulled her closer. " You mean Faith, ummm, what's up with you Buffy." he asked curiously. She swallowed hard but didn't step back she needed him to come with her , without him finding out the real reason. " Well the dagger we needed to get from Ireland well were are suppose to destroy it." Angelus looked at her and grabbed her arm pulling her with them they walked towards the town. " Why, do you need to destroy it." He asked " Well it was suppose to be evil and whoever got there hands on it would rule the world." She stopped and looked to her feet and back up to him, he was watching her, cautiously. " I want to rule with you, I want to be with you forever." She whispered making Angelus grow a hard erection. Buffy watched Angelus think about what she said , she didn't want him to find out she was lying to him that it wasn't evil it was to bind her and Angel's soul. " Forever? You don't want soul boy." He crept closer to her putting his hands up her shirt. she shivered and he grinned. Her stomach rumbled again and she got light headed she couldn't believe she was offering herself to him, she cringed so knew Angel would be angry with her but it was the only way. " On one condition." she said looking intensly at him. He nodded waiting for her to speak. " i don't want to be a vampire I like being a slayer." He smiled and turned his head. " I get it, yes, i wont change you if that's what your asking, But, how am I suppose to trust you from not sending me to hell again."he asked angrily. She laughed wickedly and grabbed her jacket pulling it tighter. Conner dtood in the shadows watching his Father and his lover.He grew angry and huffed away seeing Faith's dead body lying in the road. " because i'm not the same little innocent girl you tourched years ago." she said angrilyand He laughed loudly and walked towards her. " You look the same to me slayer just a bit bigger in some area's."They found a cemetary and she walked to it. angelus following she at on a thombstone. " When I died and came back I wasn't the same, something was missing. I think that's why I slept with spike." she looked to him and he growled . She sighed and stood looking to which it would be easier to get to the Airport then she remembered his cars. He was convient just like Darla was to You well ...Angel" He shrugged and followed her back to the building. " Where are we going." he asked and she looked to him not stopping. " You have cars, many of them. " Oh"he snarled a little and Buffy could see them showing still crusts of blood around his mouth. " Was he good." he asked angrily. She looked towards him and stared at him staring at his yellow filled eyes. " No, not even close to you." She said truthfully. He seen that she wasn't lying and he smiled slightly again his features softening to her. They found the cars and picked the porshe she went to the drivers seat. The got in driving to the Airport." I won''t be able to go if we tak a plane, why don't we driveto the border then take a a train. She nodded in agreement and they passed the LA sign. The Airport was busy and Giles paid for his ticket and loaded the plane, He looked at his watch it was !0:15 In the evening he took of his glasses rubbing them and grabbed his cell, call the LA team Buffy and Angelus drove in silence the sky turned black and lighting and Thunder started Buffy jumped and Angelus looked at her. " Want me to drive, Dosent bother me the storms." She pulled over letting him in the drivers seat. She watched him it seemed for forever, he grunted to himself, what was he doing he was the most evil, vicious killer and he was letting the slayer live and be with him. " What where am I." Anya asked looking up to Cordy. " Cordy how, did Where are we." Cordy smiled at the girl and grabbed her hand lifting her up. " Anya hey, please sit, I'll tell you the story. Cordy explained everything to Anya and Anya's mouth dropped open. " So your on the bad side now, not suprising., But I haven't been evil for a long time and I was dead." Anya said. " Ya I know but I got a proposition for you. You help me destroy the slayer and I will give you whatever you desire." Anya stared at her former friend and her head started to pound. " Xander was he alright, did..." Cordy grabbed the ex demons hand and handed her a cup of something. " He's fine in New york now, Well will you." Anya smiled and looked to Cordy. " yes, but I wan't Xander, forever." Cordy smiled and looked at her closely." Done................ she waved her hand." come we have things to do. Chapter 21(b) All disclaimers storyline, characters in First chapter Buffy sat in silence as they drove, she watched him from the corner of her eye. She didn't trust him but he seemed to be okay unless he is was planning something. She again remembered the dream seeing her face like that and Angel wanting to kill her, but then there was the dream that she had when she first got there, the little girl showing her the future what it would be like , demons taking over the world... and her. Angelus glanced at buffy he seen the confusion and even pain go through her eyes , he still couldn't understand why she had asked him to come, she hated him, sent him to hell. He looked at her more closely then averted his gaze to the road again. She did seem differn't not quite the same more darker. Buffy yawned looking at her watch it was 1 am. She seen a gas station and Angelus pulled up. " Do you want anything." He asked opening the door. she looked up at him and and smiled slightly. " Sure, ice tea and ham sandwich would be okay." Angelus nodded and left. Buffy smiled slightly and beeped Willow. The werewolf howled and acknowledged its target, it ran fast down the street snarling and growling , it found her standing by the bookcase it entered the room it charged her. Willow stood by the bookcase getting Buffy' beep she sighed she turned and seen a werwolf she screamed.Wes noticed looking toward Gunn, " Gunn. we need tranquillizer, now. Willow threw books trying to keep it away it growled baring it's teeth, Gunn ran up grabbing the tranquillizer , he turned back around shooting the werwolf. The werewolf helped and fell to the floor lading beside Willow. Willow covered her mouth bending sown putting her hand on it. " Oz, oh Oz is that you?" Willow asked sadly. Wes moved closer and grabbed half of the beast he looked to Gunn ." Could you help" wes looked to Willow she had sad face staring at the werewolf." It might not be him, willow um about two months ago we saved a girl who just turned, she is trying to deal now. She looked up at him and then to it, " Ohh , well we should contain it until it comes back to human form." Willow said standing up brushing the conversation off, it wasn't Oz she thought. Wes and Gunn nodded leaving the room. Fred entered and smiled. " what's up? I think I might have found something." She looked to willow and seen the shock." What's wrong Willow, are you alright." Willow looked at her and sighed. Werewolf attacked it's downstairs." " Oh my,is anyone hurt." Fred asked. Willow shook her head and smiled at her " Nope okay , so what did you find."She asked sitting in the chair . " Um it seems that the theseron is a binding dagger but there is something more to it to." Fred said grabbing a tray and getting them coffee. Wes and Gunn entered and sat . Fred handed them all coffee and sat down," I believe if at a certin time Angel needs to drink from her but he already did as Angelus, it says that the champian will drink from her and the will be ready to be together forever." They sat in silence " So that's a good thing right?" Willow asked. Wes looked to the witch and then to Fred who's face was white as a ghost. "If I'm not crazy if Angelus drank her already and they are going to get the dagger, dosen't that mean, Buffy will do the spell and they will be together forever , so it would be Angelus ." "oh my god" Willow said " that's not good." Gunn said standing up. Giles landed and headed to the taxi , he got in and drove away. " It can't be there has to be another way,"Willow said staring intensly at the group. " We will search more, don't worry." Fred said patting Willow on the back. Willow sighed she stood heading to the computer. Angelus got back handing her a big bag and leaving, She stared at the bag and then to him checking for blood marks, he growled and looked at her. "I didn't eat the cashier." he said turning back to the road. " Oh I didn't mean... She paused and grabbed the ice tea and taking a sip. " Thank you." He grunted and she smiled liking that he was softening to her. It began to Rain and Buffy sat in silence eating her sandwich Angelus turned the radio on to the rock sation. buffy finished and took off her coat making a pillow she curled up to it and rested her eyes. Angelus looked to her and turned up the heat she smiled and looked up at him. " Goodnight." She said and laid her head down falling fast a sleep. It had been a while since he had eaten and he groaned looking over at Buffy she was so beautiful full, oh perfect, warm blood, he knew she enjoyed when he and even when Angel had biten her, she got wet so wet for him that he started to get a hard on his cock throbbed at the thought of it. He un zipped his pants and glanced at his watch it was 5 am and the sun would be coming up soon, good thing soul boy has these blinders he thought and pulled on to the dirt road and grabbed his throbbing cock with his hands, he pulled it gasping at the feeling . Dru drank the gypsie's blood and smiled widely, she stared at the potions finding the ingredants she needed she left stepping on the lady on the way out. she walked down the alley finding the spot she entered it ans smiled at a lady sitting in the corner. " I've got it, but your sister didn't make it." Dru smiled handing the ingredants to the witch." Do it, don't it know, remove my spikes soul. Chapter 22 The sky stayed dark and changed and turned a grayish like, It was raining hard and the wind blew,Angelus looked to the slayer and then to his watch again sunrise should of been up but since the storm it wouldn't be showing for a while. He grabbed his cock pumping it fast he was so horny for her and could smell her vanilla scent, her blood boiling He wanted her so badly wanted her forever as his mate as , he wanted her to be like him, eternal. A smile crossed his lips he knew if he played It right maybe she open up and fall right in there with him. He came faster growling and grunting quietly trying not to wake the tiny slayer. Buffy stirred and opened her eyes, she looked to Angelus who seemed to have rather odd, expression on his face, she sat up grabbing her ice tea and sipping it quietly. "Sleep well, slayer." Angelus asked." Um yes, thanks.What time is it?" Buffy asked " About six am, better beep Willow or she will come after us." Angelus said in a husky voice. Buffy swallowed hard and averted His gaze." How did you know?" She asked frightened he might do something. "I know everything." He looked at her with yellow eyes and a smiled formed his lips. Buffy sat nervously in the seat twitching lightly.He looked to her again then to the restaurant. You need to eat and I need to feed. " She gazed at him and then to her feet." How, are you going to feed, you don't eat human food remember. he laughed and pulled into the small parking lot and parked in the back, he smiled wickedly at her and opened the door. " I do know how Angel ate, I guess I'll have to go to the butcher who seems to stay here, If I'm correct." He got out and she followed behind. They found a seat close to the back not near the window. They sat in silence and a girl came up. Buffy stared at the girl she was Blonde and she was about 5'7 and about 120 pounds, her breasts were peeking out through her shirt and Buffy could see her nipple slightly, she averted her gaze to Angelus who was gawking at the women. Buffy frowned and grew jealous, she knew it wasn't Angel looking at her but it still seemed to bother her, why she didn't know The waitress stared at the man he was hot very hot..." Um Hi can I get you something." She asked. Angelus looked to Buffy then to the waitress. " two coffee's, orange juice and the breakfast special." he said and she nodded and walked away wiggling her butt. Buffy grunted and stood. " I need to go to the bathroom." Angelus grinned at her as she walked away. Back in LA. The gang sat around the table researching, Willow got up and walked down the stairs looking toward the cage. the werewolf still was in form but not for long.she sat by the cage and opened her book waiting for the transformation. Giles pulled up to the W&H building it was all smashed and it had looked like a bulldozer had gone through it, he panicked and rushed in the door, flying into the lobby, running right into Harmony. " Uh, Harmony." giles said staring at her intensely." Giles uh hi, what are you doing here." She asked sucking on a lolly pop. " I don't have time right now, Angel where is he." Harmony pointed to the room across the way ." Giles walked to the room, he could hear people talking and many people running around, demons and humans, he shook his head, he had heard that W&H were evil and he frowned knowing Angel had taken the position. He found them sitting around the table. Wes looked up and smiled." Giles, how are you good to see you." He stood and shook the watchers hand. " Wes Hi, how is everything." Wes looked to the group and back to giles." Not good, please sit down we will tell you what had happened. Wes told Giles the story and Giles stood up abruptly." Willow where is she." Giles asked Angrily. Wes pointed to the stairs. Giles nodded and left. Fred looked to Wes and then to Gunn." Who was that." Fred asked. " it was Giles Buffy's watcher. He is like a father to her." Wes said getting up and pouring a coffee. " Bad news guys." Lorne said entering the lobby. " What is it Lorne." Gunn asked. Lorne frowned and sat on the couch. " It's started this Prophecy of Buffy and Angel has started. Wes looked to Lorne and walked closer." the demons roaming the streets today is unbelievable, its chaos. Giles found Willow sitting by the cage reading a book.He walked to her kneeling beside her. "It has started, you know that right." Giles said looking down at the witch. Willow looked at him sadly." Giles. I. um.." She averted his gaze and looked to the cage. " Buffy she told me to do it Giles, she wouldn't take no for an answer.she's said she's safe I just talked to her, Angelus, he's with her." Giles frowned and snapped his head up looking straight at her." What do you mean, with her?" Giles asked getting angry. Willow looked at him and stood." i think we need to talk , come, we all need to talk." Willow walked to the stairs, giles following. Dru entered the basement going into another room the room was covered in Bloomingdales, she smiled and placed the orb on the counter. She followed the hallway to another room there was a group of vampires sitting around.She sat in front of them and smiled wickedly. " The one who gets, my Spike I'll make powerful." A short vampire sitting across from her stood and looked to the group. " The slayer, she's back isn't she." Dru hissed and lunged at the vampire grabbing him by the throat. " We will deal with her later and daddy, but ,now I want you to go find spike." Dru yelled. " But Dru, the.." Dru snarled snapping his neck. She bared her fangs hissing loudly at the vampires. " Anyone else. She looked to the girl vampire and walked closer.' i'll do it... master." The vampire stammered and vamped and ran leading the vampires. Willow froze and stood giles walked into her, he groaned and rubbed his head," Spike, oh my god, he's going to get you, we need to stop him." Giles mouth dropped open ." Spike?" Buffy sat and ate her food, glancing at Angelus he was staring at the waitress and she again, felt jealous. Angelus noticed and grinned and took a drink from his coffee." So souls boy told you about Darla. hmmm, funny eh?" Buffy looked at him and put down her fork and taking a sip of her coffee." Why is that so funny." she asked getting a little angry. Cause that's not the only one, he boinked." He said leaning back in the seat. Buffy eyes grew wider." What do you mean?" She asked. " Huh funny he never told you, that's how I became .,...the last time when willow was here. Buffy's mouth dropped and she stared at him intensely." No, he didn't it was a spell." Angelus laughed and took a sip of his coffee . " Well he did with Cordellia,and man she's a fucker..." He grinned and Buffy snarled and spat at him." "Shut up, just shut the fuck up." Buffy had remembered what Angelus said after her and Angel made love on her seventeenth birthday... she cringed at the memory but when Angel came back he said Angelus said things cause he knew he could hurt her to get to her. Buffy stared at him her eyes glowing red again, her features turned darker and she let out a huge growl, making everyone stare at her, she plunged across the table punching him hard. " Your lying........ You aren't aloud to mention him again, got it." Angelus laughed and grabbed her by the arm dragging her out into the parking lot throwing her into the car he sped off . " I can kill you instantly or change you... you do that again slayer and I won't hesitate. he swerved missing a car, he looked to her and bared his fangs, hissing loudly." Answer me" he growled.he stopped the car and got on top of her snarling . his fangs bared and and he inched closer to her. She stared at him, not really knowing what to do, she knew he could kill her or change her, she was frightened but she tried to hide it from him. He grinned and lowered his fangs to her throat. he could feel her she was frightened but he could also sense her arousal and he could smell her she was wet f.. He placed his hand up her shirt grabbing her breast and twisting it. Buffy held her breath but a small moan escaped her lips and Angelus smiled widely. He nibbled at her ear and she tried to back away from him but of course she couldn't. " I know you want me.. I can sense it." he purred in her ear and his cock grew harder,." Your not him, its only his face." she said angrily. her blood started to boil and her pussy started to throb. Angel kissed her neck and started to put his hand down her pants she wiggled trying to free but he thrusted her, putting three fingers deep inside of her, she gasped and a moan escaped again and Angelus moaned at her, her look at her intensely and his face shifted going back to normal. She looked at him and placed her hand on his cheek, she hated that he could do this, make her want him so bad. She always melted in his eyes. he looked at her and unzipped his pants . " Taste me." He growled and she looked at him and grabbed his cock lowering her head, she licked it, tickling him. He moaned grabbing her head and forcing her on him more. She took him in all of him sucking him hard. Chapter 23 Giles stared at the group as the sat down around the table, Willow smiled at him and passed him a cup of coffee, he sat and stared at them intensly. " Willow, now, tell me what happened when you preformed that spell, why did Angel turn." Giles asked pulling off his glasses and cleaning them. Willow fidgeted in her seat and looked towards the group she really didn't know why it had gone wrong, maybe it was what was suppose to happen. Giles stared at her watching her intently. " Giles, we all don't know why, it seems that Buffy had spoken to the oracles and to the powers that is why she has left for the dagger." Wes took a sip of his coffee and looked toward Gunn. " Um, ah.. Big demons a herd of them on third street, we need someone to, ah,." Harmony said running into the lobby tripping over the couch. " On it.Fred join me." Gunn asked looking over at his friend. Giles stood and grabbed his jacket ." Why don't we all go, Willow, stay here with the werewolf try and contact Buffy and… Spike ,you said Spike was alive." Fred grabbed her coffee drinking the rest, " I will fill you in , ready." The four left and Willow stared towards harmony. " Harmony can you please contact Spike tell him we need him." Harmony glared at her but nodded her head leaving the room. New York Dru smiled and walked back to the living room, she seen the girl, trying to break free." I wouldn't do that , it would only make things worse." she picked up the orb of thesela and stared at it. The girl was frightened and she didn't want to get hurt but this vampire , was powerful and was part of the prophecy coming and if she did what Dru asked, they all would be doomed. Xander smiled at Dawn as she helped him finish the dishes, she seemed different somehow maybe sunnydale going under was a good thing for her. " So are you still hungry I have lots of food." he asked placing the dishes in the cupboard. " No thanks, still full from the big dinner you made. Do you want to watch the movie now," she asked wiping her hands on the towel and placing it on the counter to dry. " Sure which one, the vampire mascurade or X-men two." He asked grabbing two glasses and pouring some pop. " X-men two, I think I've seen enough vampires to last me a lifetime." she smiled and went into the living room putting on the movie. They sat on the couch wietly as the movie started. LA Conner was furious with his father and Buffy, Faith was dead and now, he had no one to help him, he had decided to go see Cordy who was in the hospital, he turned the corner and on maple heading for the hospital, he found it and entered it was busy, a lady was screaming to get her baby out, another child cried for his mommy.. He headed to the receptionist and waited patiently. " Hi may I help you" the girl asked. Conner smiled at her she had short red hair and a slim body with a tattoo on her arm of a butterfly she was cute, maybe he should get her number. " Hi ,I'm here to see Cordellia Chase, she has been here for a while in a coma.." he asked shyly The girl looked at him weird and looked onto her computer." It says here she's gone, that she left a couple days ago." Conner looked at her shocked and turned around ." uh thanks." He ran leaving the building. It began to rain the sky turned more black and there was no sun insight, he glanced at his watch it was 8 am, he decided to go get a coffee first and then he would find cordelia. England. Toply , traveler and the rest of the Watchers packed their bags and headed to the airport. " Mr. Traveler sir," Topy said, putting his hands in his pockets. "Yes , Toply what is it." Traveler asked annoyed. " Uh, does this mean it's time… that it's begun." " Yes Toply, I imagine it has, if we are correct and Angel has turned, it won't be much longer.." Traveler said and sat in the front seat of the car and rubbed his hand through his hair. Toply gulped and stared out the window." But sir, do we really need to kill her, what if.. she is still good, still pure." Traveler laughed harsly looking at his co worker. " anyone who associates themselves with Angelus, well they all deserve to die." Outside somewhere in the outskirts of LA. Angelus eyes rolled back as she sucked him harder, he growled grabbing her head tighter, she choked and pulled away looking at him angrily. " Enough, we need to go." she said blanky. Angelus snarled and hissed at her inching closer," I say what we do." She laughed and pulled out her cross that was on her neck, the one Angel had given her the first time she met him. She placed it on his dick and he howled moving back. She hesitated but then got out of the car and moved to the drivers side." I'll drive, I think you need to sleep." He hissed again crawling into the back of the car and pulling a blanket over him." BITCH!" Buffy smiled to her self and turned on the car speeding throught the interstate. She needed to get there now, and , well didn't have a lot of time, Angelus was seemed stronger and her will was going away, soon she wouldn't be able to stop the pull, his thrawl on her., she turned on the music, evanescence was playing, she grabbed her coffee singing lightly. LA Willow searched the computer and message poped up and she clicked on it. " Dear Willow, I am Gab , I read your post about the magics your needing, these are powerful, things , magic that shouldn't be tampered with, If your really needing it, meet my by the train tracks at eight I will give you the information I have… Sincerely Gab. Willow smiled and grabbed her coffee, good… she stood and headed downstairs. She got to the cage and her cup fell breaking to peices, it was "Oz." ********************************************* Chapter 24( Gone By Night) Oz looked around the room, he had no idea where he was or why he was naked he looked up and noticed Willow. " Willow, is that you?" He asked groggily. Willow smiled rushing to the cage she scrambled for the keys. She found them and opened it up rushing to us and hugging him tightly. " Oh Oz" she murmured. He looked at her confused. She seemed real he could feel her, but, how did he get back to Sunnydale. " Willow, how did I, what the." She smiled and grabbed his hand. " Come upstairs I'll tell you everything. It had been about an hour and Oz just stared at Willow blankly. " Wow, sunnydale gone, " He moved closer putting his hands over Willow's. " I'm sorry about everything, o still don't know how I got here, Do you?" He asked She shook her head and stood walking towards the fridge grabbing some drinks and handing one to him. She sat beside him looking deeply into his eyes. I don't know Oz, you just came in here attacking me, we really don't know why? Maybe your part of this prophecy too." He looked at her and sipped the pop. " I hope not, but I f I am I will help out in whatever you need." She smiled and grabbed her coat of the back of the chair. " Good, you can come with me then we need to see someone." He nodded and they left .Taking one of Angel's keys from Harmony's desk the went to the garage and got into the Viper. " Wow this is Angel's… man I missed a lot." She sighed and looked at him. " We all have." she sat in the passenger seat and grabbed the address." We need to go to the train tracks." he nodded and turned the key leaving the parking lot. It was about a ten minute drive and Willow watched Oz. He looked to her and grabbed her hand squeezing it. He smiled " Willow , it will be okay." She tried to smile but tears formed her eyes." God, Oz your so beautiful, I…. Forgot what you looked like." She cried softly and he pulled over crushing her into him. " Shhhhhh, Will it's okay, I'm here now and were together." She shot her head up sharply and stared into his eyes. " Really!" he nodded and brushed a hair out of her face." If you want… If you still love me." she cried harder and turned away from him. " The things I've done Oz, you wouldn't't want me." she said. Spike hung up the phone and looked at the sign it was New York, he smiled lightly and got out of the train. " Mine as well, get a tour and…. "He remembered Xander moved here when Sunny dale had crashed. He smiled and went towards the city finding Xander. Buffy sang loudly and drank her coffee, she could hear Angelus growling in her sleep, she frowned and remembered what he ahd said about Angel." Did he sleep with her, god she hoped he hadntt but there were things she still didn't't know about his life while they were apart. She started to cry and she dropped her coffee spilling it on her leg.. She screamed and looked down grabbing it, she lost control of the car and hit the ditch causing the car to roll 4 times landing them selves in a deep hole knocking herself unconscious.  They fought hand in hand , foot to foot, Giles sliced the demon killing it, four more demons attacked and knocked him to the ground, Gunn saw in the corner of his eye he swept passed Fred punching the demon hard in the head the demon moaned and grabbed it's axe slicing his arm and his chest. Wes came at the demon chopping it's head off, another one which was bigger and a lot stronger grabbed Gunn by the neck and threw him knocking him to the ground. Fred noticed and rushed to him holding him tight. " Gunn, Gunn are you alright , please answer me." he looked at her but didn't't speak he groaned grabbing his ribs. " I think their broken." he hissed in pain , Fred rushed leaving Gunn and grabbed a sword she came back as another locklear demon rushed at him kicking him hard. Fred swung slicing the demons arm. The demon snarled grabbing Fred and hissing at her . " The time will come when the our master will come and take you to hell, " he growled and The was a loud rumble shaking the building. Giles and Wes ran towards the demon tying t knock him down, Fred still was in his grip, shaking frantically , Giles moved up behind him punching a sword through this chest, the demon growled and spun around his eye's grew red and he lowered his mouth to Fred's still staring intensely at the group. The chosen one will rise, and when she does your life as you know it is done, he then pulled Fred close opened his mouth and sucked. The group stood still and watched the demon, the air became cold and the demon and Fred turned continuously into the air , the demon's eyes turned black and his face changed , Giles and Wes gasped at the sight of it. It growled again and opened it's mouth sucking Fred in with it, eating her whole. " Noooo" Gunn screamed as the demon sucked her in to him. A portal opened and they disappeared ,building shook again and it started to collapse. Giles ran to Gunn helping him up, Wes grabbed the other side, rushing them out. Angelus stirred and opened his eyes his hissed in pain and looked around, Buffy and him had crashed and flipped he got into the front and noticed she was caught between the steering wheel and the seat he opened the door, and looked out side it was still raining and the sky was still pitch black he pulled himself out and grabbed her yanking on her he flipped her over her shoulder and headed down the deserted road, it had been about thirty minutes when he noticed a abandoned house across the street he broke the window and entered it, it was old and very musky he found a bed and placed her on it, his stomach began to growl and he looked at her, she was so fragile so precious he could smell her blood, it was seeping out of her forehead, he growled and left the room, looking outside he noticed a car coming closer he smiled to him self and ran out of the building. He stood in the middle of the road making the car swerve away from him. The lady slammed on the brakes and opened her door. " What the fuck are you trying to do, kill both of us" Angelus smiled and walked towards her. " No," He walked toward her standing in front of her, " just you" He grabbed her and she screamed he vamped and sunk his teeth her, he groveled her sucking her dry, and throwing her to the ground. He got into the car and pulled it into the driveway and stared at the house, he stared at the wheel then to the house, he could leave and never come back but then he wouldn't be able to turn her like he wanted too, make her his mate for life, he decided to leave and find a gas station. Angelus finally found a gas station about twenty miles away, he growled at how long it has been since he has eaten, he pulled into the parking lot and went inside. Buffy stirred and opened her eyes she wasn't in the car anymore she was in a house, someone's house, she sat up looking around, it was pretty dusty and smelt funky. Angelus was no where to be found , she rubbed her bump oh her head and hissed, she picked up her jacket and beeped Willow letting her know she was still alive, Well if.... he did take off he at least kept her alive she thought She sighed she stood and walked to the dresser and found a candle, she searched her bag for a lighter and lit it. The room was big it had many antiques around and old paintings, she entered the main room and found a couch she sat and rummaged through the books. She found a journal she decided to open it. August 1973 "My dearest Darla, it had been many centuries since I have seen you last since I got my soul, I had found out you were coming to America so I followed you, I need you Darla you're my everything , my soul , my blood ... all I have ever known. I had finally tracked her down she was in a town called LA she seemed more vibrant and more scarce when it came to being found she tried not to leave to many bodies lying around ,but I found her, with Spike and Drucilla, they held up a huge factory by the ocean.. Weird they never did sense me though." Buffy scanned the journal, it was Angel's, how did it get here, she found a blanket folded up by the window and grabbed it she opened the cupboards and found some tea, she smiled and grabbed a cup washing it and making herself a tea. She entered the room and turned on the lamp sitting on the couch and wrapping her body with the blanket she opened the journal and read more. July 1997 I have not been writing much , it has been twenty years or so….. I have been not myself since I had got to LA, I have taken myself out of society and hid away, I have got use to rat blood and the smell of me, If only I could find Darla, make her take me back….. A demon approached me the other day, asking me to help a slayer, huh, a slayer, ya that would work, vampire helping a slayer , she would only try and kill me instantly" Angelus smiled widely wiping his mouth and getting into the car, he sped off back towards Buffy. LA Willow looked as her beeper went off, she sighed knowing Buffy was alright and Oz raced towards the train tracks , they found the spot parking the car they got out Willow looked around not seeing anyone. " I don't see anyone, maybe it's a trick, I don't have a good feeling about this anymore." she said looking towards Oz. " I believe I have something you need and want witch." the voice said. Willow and Oz looked at each other than around them still not seeing anyone. " You do know that this isn't the right way, you will go and kill you all." it said again. " Who are you." Willow asked walking closer to Oz. The figure stepped out of bushes and stared at Willow, both Willow and Oz's mouth dropped and looked to the figure. " Tara?" Buffy stared at the journal it had many schetches of Darla, Drucilla and even Spike, one of them was Spike with lots of hair, Buffy giggled at it and turned the page the next one was of Buffy her mouth dropped at the fine texture and features in the picture it was her on the steps of Hemery High. " I went to see this slayer the demon told me about, Whistler was his name, this girl her name was Buffy she was amazing so bright the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, she wasn't much of a slayer, she needed a lot of help, and maybe that is what was destined for me to help her, to be with her." Angelus turned into the abandoned driveway, Buffy heard the tires screeching and got up scrambling for a weapon she placed the book under the couch and crept to the door. The door opened and Buffy jumped on them puching frantically. She realized it was Angelus and got off . " Uh sorry I thought you.." she looked from his hand full of food to his mouth there was crusts of blood that were still noticeable . She crossed her arms glaring at him angrily. " I thought you weren't going to hurt anyone… ." Angelus grabbed her crushing his lips to hers, he growled searching for her tongue she pulled away quickly but grabbed him again pushing him onto the floor and ripping his shirt off, she cringed as she drooled over him, but she smiled slightly she could just pretend it was Angel …….her Angel Chapter 25(I Need You) New York: Spike walked through the busy streets , he seen a pizza shop and smiled to himself, he turned and entered it. He ordered a deluxe meat pizza and sat down in the booth, the waitress smiled at him and passed him a beer. Dru smiled staring at the stars as soon as she finds Spike then she can find granddaddy and they could be a family again . The waitress handing him the pizza and slipping a piece of paper under his plate she smiled and left. Spike bite into a piece and laverishing it all, he opened the piece of paper it was the waitresses name and number, he smiled and placed it in his pocket, he looked out the window. oh shit. he said loudly making everyone look at him, he looked outside again to Dru passing by. He grabbed his pizza sliding out of the shop he followed her He couldn't hear what she was saying he grinded his teeth wishing for his vampire hearing again. She slid into a basement door and he followed. Spike watched her as she spinned with a ball in her hand mumbling to her self she sensed him turning around. "Spike! she grinned walking closer", she frowned at him, and hissed. "your human, " she hissed and backed away. Spike looked at her and crept closer. "Sorry pet, kind of just happened." she growled and kicked him hard knocking him to the ground. He got up again punching her hard. "Sorry Dru but, I'm good now, and Im loving being human." She hissed again, slamming him in to some drawers. "your not my Spike." She grabbed him by the throat squeezing it tight her eyes turned yellow and she bared her fangs, "I have plans for you . "she turned noticing her minions coming in, her eyes turned back to him . "Get the chains and take him to the cell." she growled to the short bald vampire, he nodded and six of them grabbed Spike and throwing him in the cell, chaining him up. Dru smiled and walked to the bars. soon love, soon. Angelus growled as Buffy crawled on top of him , he grabbed her shirt ripping it and her bra too, baring her perked breasts he got hard staring at her and twisted them softly making her wet. She moaned and wiggled on top of him making friction between them. "We uhhh, need to go, the weapon ,it's needed." she moaned again and he grabbed her butt squeezing it hard, she lifted her ass up a little rubbing her crotch on him, he pulled off her pants sticking a finger in her core, he gasped at the warmth and closed his eyes, she looked down at him seductively. "Look at me Angelus." she hissed. He obeyed opening his eyes, she smiled wickedly and touched her breasts, He groaned gripping her hips, he watched her as she played with her self she closed her eyes. "Slayer, open your eyes" he said , digging his nails into her flesh, she moaned loudly making angelus grow harder. "Are you thinking of someone else slayer, is that why you close your eyes". he asked harshly. She shook her head grinding harder against his cock. He growled and pulled her down kissing her roughly. "You do know why I won't hurt you right". He asked . She looked at him strangely and sat up. He seemed so sincere for a moment and she smiled to herself . She swallowed hard she seemed to be getting closer to him, it seemed he really didn't want to hurt her but what was the real reason. "Yes, Angel fed off me, now I'm his mate. "Angelus nodded but looked at her intensely. He laughed harshly and pulled her off looking at her closely. "Yes you're my mate and I would kill people if they touched you ,but that doesn't mean I wouldn't kill you, why do you think I haven't killed you Buff ?the last time I saw you hmmm you sent me to hell. Why so much trust in me. "he asked in a husky tone. Buffy stood putting her pants on and sitting on the couch she shrugged and looked to her hands. "Cause it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not the same person anymore.. Since I came back. I love Angel with all my heart he is my soul mate but he's changed too and god, its always a fight with him.. Spike was there for me ,but I thought of Angel , fantasized it was him, she paused for a moment and stood walking closer to Angelus. "But now, I'm confused .when your around , god I get wet for you ,I want you inside me . You make me quiver .." she said seductively. He laughed harshly and grabbed the bag of blood taking it out and placing it in front of him, "That's because I look like Angel , don't patronize me Buff you still would love to have him back, not me. "She paused again and walked closer sitting on him facing him she traced his features and she kissed him licking at his fangs. "years ago I would said definitely but , I'm not sure about that, you intrigue me and well we can enjoy each other." she purred ,biting gently at his bottom lip. Angelus growled picking her up and taking her into the room pulling her pants off he dipped his head down tasting her inner core, she moaned arching her back into him his sucked hard making her orgasm , she screamed in pleasure and he grinned widely lifting his head up and entering her core, he entered her hard making her yelp, he growled then bite down on her breast she moaned she pushed him up turning her self around so she was facing the wall she grabbed his cock slipping it again inside of her, they grunted at the feeling she arched her leaning herself on him he grabbed her breasts massaging them . He entered her fast and hard from behind making her scream in pleasure.... With Angelus it was different Buffy realized she didn't have to pretend with him or try and act they way she wasn't …….since her encounters with Spike, she wasn't much with being shy, showing her body to him didn't matter to her, she knew she had things that drove him crazy, but with Angelus he was different more erotic. She smiled to her self and she grew hotter and wetter as he pounded her harder. It wasn't something she would see doing with Angel, being with Angel was heaven to her ,so fragile and gentle, this with Angelus was more erotic and exciting more animalistic. She groaned and flipped them over biting hard on his nipples he purred in excitement and she kissed him, further down scraping her teeth along his shaft. She grabbed his balls with her hand and squeezed them lightly, making him hiss in pleasure she smiled at that and bite him lightly on the tip of his head making him come instantly spilling his seed in her mouth, she swallowed every inch of it and licked her lips, smiling wickedly at him. " Slayer your such a pistol." he growled turning her over and licking every inch of her body scraping his teeth lightly. " Oh god, Angel." she sighed and he hissed loudly.' " What's my name." He asked angrily his eyes turning yellow. She swallowed hard and shivered slightly. " Angelus. I mean Angelus." He bite down on her neck , breaking the skin, sucking gently. She wiggled under him and he looked at her for a moment before getting off of her and pulling on his leather pants. He paused and looked to her . Her hair was all muffled and she laid so peacefully on her back her eyes closed. He grinned at her turning for the door, " It's morning better go, so we get there by night so I can board the ship. " She nodded and stood pulling on her pants and her shirt and following him out the door., she remembered the book grabbing it and hiding it in her jacket she followed him to the car and got in the driver's seat starting the car, they left in silence. They drove for a while with the music on staring out of the window silently. The road was bare this morning and Buffy was glad , they were already were at least 4 hours behind and she needed to get to Ireland as quick as possible. Angelus looked to her noticing her expression he watched her carefully then grabbed his cup of blood drinking all down. " Ugg, don't know how soul boy does it , smells and taste like vermin." he said wiping his mouth. Buffy smirked but didn't look to him still staring out to the road she snickered and turned the radio down. " He says you get use to it, can you?" She asked. He looked to her then to the road and back to her. " maybe , but, doesn't mean I have to like it. Your not playing me are you Buff." He asked bluntly. Buffy turned to him and back to the road, was she she playing him she really didn't know anymore, at first she was, god, she wanted to kill him but she couldn't Angel, but, now she was getting to enjoy his company and of course the great sex they were having, she really didn't know. LA Giles, Wes and Gunn headed back to the W/H building , they entered and the place was frantic, alarms, and phones, were going off, Wes frantically ran to harmony's desk. " Harmony, what's going on what's happening." He asked looking at the blonde secretary. She shrugged and passed him the messages, Lorne walked towards them shaking his head frantically. " Hey the phones have been going off for hours, where have you been and where is Fred." He asked looking at the ex- watcher and Gunn. Gunn lowered his head and sniffled lightly. " she's gone Lorne, she's gone." Wes said turning and heading to the office. Lorne's face dropped and he followed them. Fred awoke , but where was she , all she remembered was being in the warehouse with Wes and them now, she noticed a figure sitting by the door she squinted and focused her eyes on the women. " Lila" She said squinting continusly. Lila smiled widely and walked closer. " Fred good to see, glad you could come." Lila said walking closer to her. " Where are we, am I dead." Fred asked frightened of what they anwser could be. Lila laughed " No not really, but we aren't in La either." Fred frowned at her . " Where are we then." she asked putting her hand on her hips. " In another dimension." Fred looked at her cautiously but walked closer towards the enemy. " What dimension?" she asked quietly. Lila sighed and turned looking towards the big window. " A alternate universe of yours, and if you don't help me out, this is how it will be." she said . Fred frowned and stared at the town, the sky was raining fire again but there was something differn't she stared closer at the two figures standing outside the window it was Buffy and Angel. Fred looked to lila then to her friends." Why me." she asked. Lila shrugged and turned, " Your part of the prophecy with out you they can't get back or change it." Fred, looked at her closely and backed away from the window when she heard the screams of the hostages and victims. She looked to Lila and brushed her hand through her hair. " What do I have to do." Lila smiled wickedly………. " Come, follow me…" Chapter 26 Willow stared at Tara closely. "Tara, Is it really you." Tears formed her eyes and she stepped forward reaching for her dead lover, "It's me, my soul anyways, you need to be a front for Buffy but you cant interfere it will destroy everything." Tara said glowing more brightly now. Oz watched in confusion and Willow sobbed harder, "Tara I'm so sorry for everything , what happened what I've done." Willow wiped her tears and Tara smiled softly. "Will you need to be strong , there is a guy named orldaf go speak with him, he might be able to help you." Tara whispered, slowly disappearing . "No!!!!!!!!1 Tara please don't go." Willow said crying harder now, Oz came closer hugging her . "Willow I'm alright, you didn't do this too, me please live on be happy, protect yourself." she smiled widely and was gone. Willow sobbed harder burring her head into Ozs neck. He rubbed her back rocking her gently. It had been at least 3 hours and the sign for the ferry was ahead , Buffy smiled and turned following the signs. She looked to Angelus who was sleeping, she watched as his features shifted from vampire to human, she wondered if Angel could still sense her ..hear her since Angelus was brought back, Faith had told her about the mind trip, and when Angelus was out, saving her and killing the beast. She frowned remembering the sight of Faith's body, her stomach turned and she swallowed hard holding in the puke., She finally reached the dock and pulled to the side, It was late now, enough for Angelus to get out. She looked to him and gently shook him. He grumbled opening his eyes staring at her. She got out grabbing her bags, Angelus following behind. People started to board and Buffy looked to the side of the boat and then to Angelus. "Come on this way. she said." They slipped past the ticket people and slipped on the boat finding a empty small, area by the back, Buffy plopped herself on her bag and opened it grabbing a pop. She opened her soda and stared at Angelus he was watching her intensely . "Are you going to sit down." She asked patting the spot beside her. He didn't know why or what, but, she still kept something from him, he sat beside her and looked to the front seeing the boat leave he groaned and made a bed from his jacket and laid on it, he caught her gaze and held it there. "I'm going to sleep, Im here if you need me." He said and closed his eyes. Buffy smiled and Angelus opened his eyes and watched her intensely ,there was still something odd about the whole thing but he closed his eyes. She took a sip of her pop and grabbing the journal from her jacket and opening where she left off. May1997 " She's amazing, so young, graceful , she doesn't trust me yet, I found a cross and gave it to her." There was a picture Angel had drawn of her the first day they met , she traced the picture with her fingers, sighing quietly. She turned the page. "I ran into her again..... the slayer. She was fighting these vampires, I helped her get away and she led me into her house.. good thing she had invited me before she tried to get me in, since that was the first sign of being a vampire. After I met her I decided to get in shape and I also realized that butchers would happily help you with blood, well some of them. I was a lot healthier than I have been." " She made then made me take off my shirt so she could see my wound. God, the touch of her .....the feeling that had surged through my body when she touched me drove me insane, it was hard for me to control it, to control anything for that matter when I was around her." Buffy s heart fluttered as she read it she grabbed her jacket placing it over her body and lying on her side getting comfortable. " It has been a couple of months since I have wrote , Buffy and I well we've been getting close, I"ve been helping her patrol since I last wrote, Buffy finally found out I was a vampire and Darla .... Darla came back." " Darla, that 's a twist , I wanted you to come back so badly one time, needing you more than air, then she came along Buffy she almost killed me, I killed you for her and then she almost died, and I couldn't even save her, Xander did and I couldn"t because of what I am, a monster." Tears formed Buffy's eyes and she brushed away turning the page. She gasped at the picture below. It was her dancing seductively with Xander and Angel across the room a tear in his eye. " She had left for a while and went to see her dad, she came back and she hated me for some reason , because I was a vampire, fighting the master messed her up in a way I can never imagine, being around her makes me feel like I'm in heaven, that all I need is her.. I came to see her tonight and she got angry telling me to leave. all i wanted was for her to be alright." Angelus growled in his sleep making Buffy jump she looked to him and he snored peacefully she groaned taking another sipof her soda. "I'm in love with her, she doesn't know, I really don't know what she'll say this isn"t suppose to be happening what we are doing, but, the way are souls connect it's incredible she told me something though that I can't get out of my head it plays over and over. " "When I kiss you I want to die." " She's right, we aren't meant to be together.. she shouldn't be with me falling for me, I"m her enemy its her duty to kill me." The ship horn went startling Buffy she glanced at Angelus who still slept peacefully. She buried herself deeper into her blankets. Jan 1998 " It's her birthday soon, she'll be seventeen, I bought her this ring it's a claddah ring my family would give it to their mate when they were ready for commitment, I hope she likes it, I can't stop thinking about her, the way she smells, the ways she feels her erotic gestures , she makes my whole body quiver , my blood boils for her and the way she says my name sends shivers up my spine." Buffy wiped another tear turning the page there was a picture of her on her seventeenth birthday, she was sitting on his bed holding her shirt over her breasts. She remembered the night like it was yesterday it was so clear in her mind still the emotionthe electricity running through their bodies the feel of him inside of her, the sensations she had and never will feel again, her body trembled for hours from his touch, she moaned imagining his soft touch his gentle caress and the love in his eyes, a tear fell and she watched it fall on the page. " I watch over her sleeping form and I feel like I'm a kid again, Tonight was the best night of my undead life, I told her I loved her and she said she loved me too, we got wet trying to escape Dru's clan and ....We Made Love, over and over and over." " I'm 240 years old and no one.. not any women I have has made me feel like that , like everything that I was and is didn't matter I was the only thing that mattered, It felt like my whole body was floating the sensations I never even imagined existed, she found places on me I never even knew I had, she's my earth the sun, my breath, she's is my everything." " I feel like a man." " Huh! a man you say, yes I know it sounds strange ,but ,I do she makes me feel alive sometimes I forget who I really am and then I wake up to find that I am still a vampire, but with the women I love." " Darla , well Darla was differn't Angelus was obssesed with her they were together for centuries he needed her only for the pleasure and the satisfaction of knowing he was ruthless, but ,Buffy my sweet Buffy was an angel from heaven." Buffy cried harder as she read the last paragraph. She never knew how he had felt after they made love since he had turned to Angelus, and when she had seen Angelus he had told her that it wasn't bells ringing, birds chirping. When he came back it wasn't the same it hasn't been ever since then, she closed the book placing it in her jacket and laying herself on the floor she glanced at Angelus's still form noticing his facial expression change she wiped a tear. She smiled and grabbed her neclace clenching it tight and staring at the ring , his ring.... Angel had felt the same she had that night and they could never really express it to anyone she hesitated ,but ,stood up crawling beside the vampires still form she curled her arms around him and laid her head on his chest . " I love you , Angel." and she fell fast asleep. ************************************************* Chapter 27 She smiled at the warm breeze hit her she was there, there were no clouds in the sky. Buffy searched around her looking for anyone in sight, she noticed the girl again sitting closely to the shore. "Ariel is that you." Buffy asked walking through the white sand and the girl looked up smiling widely. "You need to think too?" Ariel asked patting the ground beside her. Buffy looked at her confused and joined her on the ground. "Kind of, I was thinking, but, I fell asleep. Why did you bring me here?" Buffy asked. Ariel looked up at Buffy and grabbed her hand holding it tightly. "Your falling for him aren't you." she asked staring blankly passed Buffy towards the ocean. Buffy frowned and followed her gaze." Who?" Buffy asked confused. Ariel coughed and grabbed some sand letting it fall through her fingers. "It's not him that you need to be with what your doing letting your feelings blind you." She said standing up and holding her hand out to Buffy. Buffy accepted her hand and she walked with her down the deserted ocean. The birds chirped happily and Buffy noticed a couple sitting close to the end laughing and playing. She smiled looking towards them. They seemed so happy and in love, she wished that could be her, Ariel watched Buffy's face and frowned letting her hand go. "Don't let your feelings blind you , Buffy you need to be strong for him for all of them." Buffy looked towards Ariel and she disappeared. Buffy looked at the gust of sand then back to the couple, she focused her eye's on the figures and gasped when she focused on them. "Angel, this is heaven, your heaven…" Cordelia cooed. Angel smiled down at her and brushed a hair from her face. "I know, I feel the same way." He mumbled, and Buffy gasped covering her mouth and staring at them. "Angel." Angel turned slightly seeing nothing but sand and wind he could swear he heard a voice a voice he hadn't heard in a forever. Buffy Buffy awoke in a sweat she gasped for air, looking up at two big brown eyes staring down at her. LA: Oz led Willow back to the car letting her in , he grabbed the cell phone . "Hey Jerald, could you find a person for me, a demon, ordalf yes uh huh, ya he could be a wizard ,uh huh okay thanks buddy." Oz hung up and started the car heading back to town, Willow stared out the window blankly. Oz watched her he reached for her hand squeezing it tightly. He found Taft drive and turned on it, Jerald had told him it was the second house on the right, it was small but a big blue sign flashed above it. "The next realm." "This is it." He said turning the car off and getting out, heading to the passengers side he lifted Willow up and placed her out of the car she looked at him sadly and he brushed a hair from her eyes. "Will, where here, Come it'll be okay." She nodded following him to the door. Oz and Willow looked around there was a sign on the door saying Open. Oz grabbed the knob and opened the door. A short gray haired old man in a robe came out smiling widely at the two of them. "Ahh, you came, I didn't think you would show." Ordalf said, "Come come, please sit down." Willow looked to Oz who looked at the wizard confusedly. "You knew we were coming." Willow asked "My little witch of course, I know everything. Now please sit down." Willow and Oz explained their situation and watched as the wizard rubbed his head mumbling coherently at them. "Oh no this wasn't suppose to happen, the slayer wasn't suppose be with her mate until the dagger and the full moon, why would she, oh my." He shook his head and stared deeply into his magic ball. "Ordalf, what is it, what can we do." Willow asked staring intensely at the old wizard. "She was suppose to mate with Angel on the full moon after binding themselves with the dagger that would make her immortal I assume... and him eternal and able to love and be in direct sunlight, oh no .... her doing this now making love to him, changed their destiny and only one can change it back." Willow looked from the wizard and then to Oz. "Who Ordalf, who can fix this before it changes for good." Oz asked abruptly. "The blood, of both of them and the child of two vampires." Ordalf said getting up and grabbing a potion from his bookcase. Willow stared at him scratching her head." There isn't anyone with the blood of them only the blood of, oh no, Conner." Oz looked at her confused and then to Ordalf who nodded at her question, he sat silently for a minute. "Conner, his son, but he isn't Buffy's blood." Oz said staring at the two weirdly. The wizard opened his mouth to speak and Willow stood. "It doesn't matter angel he Fed off her, he has her blood in him." She said and sighed plopping herself into the wooden chair. "That's going to be hard since Conner is out to kill them." Willow said and Ordalf grabbed a blue bottle and handed it to her. " Find him and make him drink, he will go to them only knowing what needs to be told, not remembering what has happened." He rubbed his beard massaging it gently. "He only has two days and then the spell is gone, you need to go now, get him to drink it. Ordalf said walking to the door. Willow and Oz stood and followed him to the door. Willow grunted and turned looking at the wizard, "but what if we can't get to him, is there another way." He shook his head no, and shut the door." Good luck Willow, May god, is with you." The sky rumbled and flash of lighting went through the sky. Willow looked to Oz and climbed in the car. "Great this will be hard," she mumbled laying her head back against the seat. Chapter 27 " It's funny how they all run around like puppets." Cordy said looking down at the witch and the werewolf . " What made you change." Anya asked twirling her finger in her curls. Cordy laughed and plumped herself on the chair by the fireplace " They gave me an offer I couldn't refuse." She said smiling wickedly. Anya looked at her confused and sat beside her." What did they offer you." Anya asked curiously. " Cordy sighed and stood pouring two drinks she handed one to Anya. " "Nothing much just immortality." Anya looked at her confused and sipped at her wine. " but, weren't you that as a higher being too." she asked. Skip came in carrying many files and folders. Cordy noticed him and gave him a half smile. " Skip, good to see you, is that all of them all of the potential slayers." she asked rudely "Yes master, I found all of them even one you don't know about yet." He said dropping them on the nearest table. " What do you mean a new one but how, why wasn't I notified." Cordy asked angrily. " Because we didn't know." Cordy spun around to see Eve standing at the doorway. " Who, who is it." Cordy asked grabbing the file and opening it. Eve smiled widely and sat beside Anya grabbing a glass of white wine and guzzling it down. " No, it can't be." Cordy said frowning . " Angelus, uh, I um sorry did I snore." Buffy asked sitting up and fixing her matted hair. He purred and snuggled closer., grinning widely at her started to rub her leg with his hand making her hot. " Funny, never In my wildest dreams did I think the slayer would sleep with me. Well you know." He said rubbing her crotch slightly. She groaned and he laid on her nibbling her ear lobe, he moaned into her creating friction between them, she gasped at the feeling of his hard cock pricking her lightly. He smiled and kissed her roughly searching for her tongue , he found it and she kissed back hungrily grabbing at his shirt she ripped it off staring at his hard muscles she licked her lips and arched her back leaning her head back making him growl in anticipation, she giggled pulling off his pants grabbing his hard cock she kissed him fiercly stroking him fast, he groaned pulling off her shirt a nipping at her breast with his teeth, she grew hotter and stroked him faster, making him spill his seed all over her hand. He laughed and brought his hand up grinning widely, he placed it in front of her mouth waiting for her to take it. Buffy rolled her eyes and stood fixing her clothes she looked around wondering where the nearest bathroom was. She looked to Angelus who was smirking at her. " I need to use the washroom, get some coffee. " Do you need anything?" she asked. He growled quietly and stood. " You." She laughed and started to walk , " Coffee, it is." she said leaving Angelus whimpering.. She found a entrance and walked down the corridor , the woman's bathroom was right there she sighed and entered washing her face and brushing her teeth ,she finished and went to look for a cafeteria. She seen tables and chairs across the ferry and she followed the arrows to the cafeteria, she smiled slightly she knew Angelus wouldn't look for her since there were open windows and doors that could kill him . Sometimes it's a good thing `sunlight' she thought, she felt bad for using Angelus, but, part of her didn`t care she just needed to feel, feel him she remembered the girl Ariel telling her that she was falling for him. She laughed to herself, she wasn't in love with him she was in love with Angel, only Angel. she ordered a coffee and found a table sitting towards the back she opened her jacket pulling out the journal. *Sept 1998* " It's been a while forever it seems since I wrote in here ; well a lot has happened you see when I last wrote, I told you how much I loved Buffy and that we had made love, well something happened something horrible, there seemed to be a clause in my curse, when the gypsies planted the soul in me they put a clause that if I ever have one moment of pure happiness I would lose my soul, huh, Buffy was my pure happiness and I turned into the one thing I never wanted her to see, never wanted to be again.. Angelus. I turned into him, messed with her, her friends and killed the only one that could of helped me Giles girlfriend Jenny, we fought for months I found Spike and Drucilla. Teaming up with them I tried to end the world with Acathla , what is that you ask, well it's a demon who comes fourth to end the world," "Buffy caught me in time and we fought I almost killed her then Willow found a way to re curse me but it was to late Acathla opened and the only way to stop it was to kill me. She cried telling me she loved me and shoved a sword in my chest. I was sent to hell for hundreds of years, well sort of."* Buffy held back the tears as she remembered shoving the sword through his chest, hearing him call her name, tears fell now, more frequently and she couldn't stop. Willow and Oz turned into the W/H parking lot and got out hurrying to the office. Giles, Wes and Gunn were standing in the lobby explaining their circumstances to three other men ones Willow never met. " Giles, Giles, I um we need to talk, now." Willow said looking to the former watcher. " Uh , yes, could you excuse me." He said following Willow to the office. " Uh, Hi I'm gunn and you are." Oz smiled at Wes and shook his hand. " Wes good to see you., I'm Oz." he said turning to Gunn and shaking his hand. " Hey." Gunn said looking to Wes. " Uh Wes, didn't we forget about the werewolf downstairs. " Wes smiled at Gunn then to Oz. " No, It can't be it has to be a mistake." Cordy said dropping the file. Eve's smile faded and she stood up walking towards cordy. " It's not I know I've looked to see if it's wrong in evry dimension every book it's true." " But how, How can it be? This doesn't make sense." Cordy said burying her hands in her face. " Sure it is Princess. Don't you remember" Cordy's head shot up as she heard the familiar voice. " Doyle." Cordy looked to Doyle then to Skip, she fainted falling hard to the ground. Chapter 28 Buffy looked at her watch she had been gone for at least and hour and she didn't want Angelus to freak she grabbed her coffee and heading back to the cargo. Cordy woke up and all eyes were on her, " Are you alright Cordy." Skip asked shaking her gently. She looked to Doyle than to Skip. " I need to go speak to the dark powers." She said getting up and walking to the door, " Skip I need Conner now, go find him, before they do." She grunted leaving the room. Buffy walked back to the their spot finding Angelus sleeping again, she sighed and sat down she sipped her coffee staring at him. He looked so peaceful so angelic and she wondered if Angel could feel her still, she rubbed his head with her hand and he purred softly. She wished it was Angel with her, to explore places with him find out where he lived and where he hung out. She would have to go find the gypsies too maybe explain her story see if there were other advances with them if the dagger didn't work. Angelus growled loudly making her jump, she looked down at him and he was still fast asleep purring from her rubs. She stood, feeling an ache in her side, something was changing inside of her but she didn't know what, another sharp pain shot through her and she cried out falling to the floor Angelus awoke staring down at the slayer who's eyes glowed red, she was hissing slightly holding her side. " Buff. What is it, what's wrong." Angelus asked. Buffy's eyes grew bigger and there was no green in them anymore just red, she looked toward Angelus who was staring weirdly at her. Buffy began to snarl and walked closer to him he seemed alittle nervous but he stood, watching her intensely. Giles Mouth dropped open at Willow's news. " Angel a son are you sure, but, why would he need to go." Giles asked Willow sighed and grabbed a coffee handing him one she grabbed her own and sat beside him. " When Angel fed off her, his blood and hers mixed, supposedly for some odd reason Buffy's blood is part of Conner's." She said looking down at her feet. " I'm not sure why Giles and right now I really don't care, Buffy needs us and I'm going to find him." she said standing up and heading back into the lobby. " Willow, Spike we havent been able to get a hold of him, I wonder if something went wrong," Giles said rubbing his forhead lightly. " Keep checking. Gunn, Oz can you come with me." Wilow asked gesturing them to the door. Gunn and Oz nodded following her out the door. " Oh and Will be careful." Giiles said looking at her sadly. " How can this be right,I was there when it happened, this isnt right." Cordy said screaming loudly at the two figures in front of her. They laughed harshly and walked closer to her. " We didn't say this will be easy Cordy, but this needs to be done." The older one said. " No I can't, I can't do it, not to him." Cordy said tears falling from her eyes. The older one stepped closer and glared intensely at her. " You agreed, lower being now abide by the rules, kill him, kill them all." Trex said floating closer to her his eyes bleeding red. " no, please, I can't ,I can't kill him… not Conner." Willow, Oz and Gunn headed towards the area of which they had last seen Conner, It was the ocean and Gunn said that he remembered Conner living there once. " This is crazy." Gunn said holding tightly to his axe. " I know what you mean." Oz said staring through the window. Willow turned sharply screeching the tires, she stooped and looked to them. " I'm going to do a locator spell, I need your guys help." Oz smiled and Gunn looked blankly at her. " Where's a magic shop." she asked Gunn " uh down town fourth street, not really sure its still open , but, we can check." Gunn said pointing to a alleyway , " go through here, its shorter. Buffy growled at Angelus, she walked closer to him looking at him she reached for his hand pulling him closer to her. " Buff, What is it." he asked again not taking his eyes off of her. "Drink me." She said growling more now. His eyes grew big and he laughed loudly. " What." She snarled and bared her neck ….." DRINK ME" she yelled. Moving closer to him she grabbed his head bringing him to her neck, he paused wondering what was going on. Was she wanting eternity with him , Fuck what the hell was going on. She glared at him and he bared his fangs inching towards her neck he bite down softly breaking the skin. Giles and Wes sat looking through the prophecy book. " Ahh , I found it, Angelus can't be binded to her soul unless she lets him feed again, and on the full moon" Wes said grabbing his coffee and sipping it. " Well that would never happen, we all know that." Giles said " Your wrong, she will and then we are all doomed." Giles and Wes looked up to three men standing at the door. " Traveller, what the…." Giles said standing up. Traveller and his men entered and he smiled widely at him. " Giles, funny how, you got free, thought for sure, I had locked you up tight, oh well, we do need help, and so do you." Traveller said lighting a cigerette. Wes stared at the former watcher than to the watcher council. " What do you mean she will." he asked confused. Traveller looked to him and walked closer grabbing a paper weight off the table and playing with it. " It's started, and she will, it's a matter of time, she's already changing." he said taking a seat on the couch. " What do you think is happening that we might not." Wes asked Toply stood by the door watching intensely. " She's changing, changing into the most powerful one in the whole world, she will have the strength and the power over all, even the PTB if we don't find her we all will be doomed. Giles looked to Wes than back to the watchers. " I'm still confused what do you mean changing.?" Giles asked taking his glasses off and cleaning them. Eve walked in and leaned at the door looking abrasively at the group. " What he means is this prophecy that was suppose to bind Angel and Buffy's soul, well that really isn't what's happening." she said walking closer to them . Wes glared at her and walked closer. "What? Does W/H have something to do with this." Wes asked his anger rising. Eve looked at him raising an eyebrow she turned towards Giles . " It's the end, the world as we know it . It won't be the same.. And your pretty slayer well she is the one who is leading us into darkness, and well nothing now can stop it or her for that matter." She said smiling widely. " Not if I can help it." The group turned and Giles gasped at the figure in front of him tears formed his eyes and he walked closer to it. " Jenny," Passion is a desirable thing, something you can't get rid of it's like a disease you can't eat, sleep or even function, humans go through life with needing it more than anything animals on the other are predators, predators of mates, they live on the knowledge to find their mate and forever stay with them, what if we were like animals, only mate and eat would our existence mean anything or would we just go through life incomplete. " I want her more than life itself, she mine my mate, she's everything to me….. I once thought Darla was for centuries we roamed this earth together as one, I couldn't live without her, then he seen her… the slayer she was beautiful so young and desirable, he loved her more than anything and I only wanted to kill her, but now I don't know, I need her she's my air, my water… She's all I think about and I hate it I wanna kill her, but, I can't she draws me too her ... her smell is intoxicating, I drown in her senses it overcomes me and all I want to do is love her. I don't love I'm a creature of the night, I'm not suppose to love I only feed and torture, but, why am I feeling this way for her, I'm not him….." Angelus thought , he looked up to the slayer as her eyes flickered colors back and fourth. She growled again and she pushed him down sitting down on him. " Drink me Now." Spike stared at dru, she snickered slightly and walked closer to him she stepped in front of him kneeling , she stared at him intensely sadness flickering through her eyes. " I miss you spikey. What happened to us?" she asked scraping her fingernail down his chest, making him bleed. He hissed in pain turning his gaze from her. " I not him, I'm a different person, Dru." He said trying to get away from her. She snarled grabbing his head and leaning closer to him. " Shut up, you will be soon." she inched closer digging her teeth into his flesh and sucking a little of his blood. She smiled at him licking the warm blood from her lips. " Soon my love soon…" She stood leaving the room. Spike grunted and yanked at his chains trying to free himself, He needed to get away and find Dawn and xander , he knew what dru was up to , he remembered a time when all he wanted all he needed was her. He again struggled but wasn't able to free he sighed sitting down, he needed to find something sharp he glanced around the dark room, it was hard for him now to see since he had turned human his night vision was gone. He noticed a silver nail sitting a couple feet from him a smile came across his lips . Dru watched him silently through the crack in the door and she smiled widely , It was time soon and she needed to be ready, she slipped through the door to the hallway entering the main room where her minions were. Xander woke and looked at the clock it was 10:30 am it sighed and slipped out of bed, heading downstairs. Heading into the kitchen he noticed something by the door it was a letter, he picked it up and opened it. " Hey Xander I tried to wake you , but, you were sleeping pretty good, I decided to get some groceries with the money my dad gave me, I will be back soon., Love dawn" Xander smiled and placed the note on the stand by the door, he sat down turning the t,v on. A exclusive broadcast came up, " Wow, oh my we don't know what's going on but, holy oh, there seems to be big disturbance around the world." the news caster said. Xander's mouth dropped open when he seen La and the demons roaming the street he jumped from the couch grabbing the phone and calling the W/H office. Dru smiled at her minions the seemed to have everything ready the dirt and the gypsy in the corner. She entered walking towards the gypsy and kneeling in front of her. " I was told, you guys taste the best, Daddy loved the taste, and for my beloved well he only gets the best." The gypsy gasped as Dru picked up the knife and sliced it across her bare breasts. " Oh you poor thing." she said excitement gleaming in her eyes. " Get away from me, you'll never get away with it, they'll find you and kill you." The scared girl said. Dru laughed harshly and stood looking towards the group she threw the knife to them and brushed her hands on her dress. " Get her ready. It's time." She said leaving the room. The vampires smiled and crept closer to the gypsy shredding the rest of her clothes they picked her up , un chaining her and placing her on the table, Sylvia the head vampire smiled down at the gypsy trailing her body to her core pricking her clit with her finger, she scraped it lightly making her bleed, Sylvia licked the blood and tied her to the table…. " mmmm, so warm and pretty." she said walking away and standing by the door waiting for Dru to come back. Spike grunted sliding his leg toward the nail trying to push it towards him, he knocked it farther away and he groaned. " Fuckkkkkkkkkkk." Dru smiled opening the door watching him intensely. He realized she was there and looked up. " Spikey, It's time." Two more vampires came in grabbing him from the floor and holding him , she crept closer to him He wiggled trying to escape their hold on him, not being able to , he smashed his head at the older vampire , the vampire laughed and Dru stood in front of him. " Don't fight it, Spike, please I need you." Dru said grabbing his face, he snarled and spit in her face and she smiled at him licking it off her lips. She moved his head baring his neck to her she vamped showing her teeth she came closer sinking her teeth into his flesh he hissed at the pain and she sunk deeper, slurping at his warm blood. He struggled for minutes trying to break free, soon he couldn't see anymore and he passed out. Slurping the last drop she smiled licking her lips she grabbed him placing his mouth to her neck making him drink her, moments later they untied him picking him up they took him to the other room, Dru followed happily. They placed him in the garden covering him up. Dru looked to them then to him. " Get out" she growled and they looked at her weirdly. " Get out " she said again baring her teeth to them they nodded leaving the room. She tore of her clothes and laid beside him placing her head-on his chest she watched him sleep, soon he would be awake and then they would be together again, forever…. a smile crossed her lips and she fell fast asleep. Chapter 29 (The Appoyculpse) "Jenny!" Giles mouth dropped open as she entered the room, she was beautiful, more beautiful than he remembered, her brownish hair seemed longer to him as it fell nicely around her shoulders, her eyes shimmered a soft glow that made his knees weak. She was wearing a whit dress that was an inch from the floor. He swallowed hard and walked closer he seemed to be drawn to her but he didn't care. Wes watched the two stare intensely at each other, he knew Giles had been with a Jenny, but, Angelus had killed her. He was definitely confused even Eve seemed shocked. "Rupert." Jenny said in a soft voice, making Giles shiver. "Jenny." he said and she smiled placing her hand on his cheek and cupping it gently. Traveller grunted walking closer to the two. "Jenny, glad you could make it." Lorne said walking up and hugging her. She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Lorne good too see you how's your mother." she asked looking to him than back to Giles. Lorne laughed a little. "Oh good, good, she says hi, and she misses you." There was a silence for a while everyone watched the two lovers. "I don't know what the hell is going on, but, this isn't the time for it we have other matters to discuss." Traveller said standing in front of Giles. Giles tore his eyes from Jenny and too the angry watcher." Ah yes yes… I. Jenny grabbed his hand leading him to the couch. Lorne entered with tea and a gray book; handing it to Jenny he sat down. Any straightened her self up and stared at the strange man in front of her, he was demon, but, she never met him before. Cordelia slammed the door looking strangely at Doyle," Doyle, What is going on, why are you here?" "I think you know princess what your doing is wrong." he said and she laughed harshly, and brushed passed him to the window. "You came to tell me this is wrong." she looked to Anya who just watched them strangely. "Fancy face, you need to stop this you can't do this, what your doing your rewriting history." She turned to him and her eyes flashed yellow. "This is who I am what I want. Get out." She said angrily and a flash of hurt flickered through his eyes, and for a moment she softens to him. "Why is Conner all of a sudden a potential what does he have to do with this he wasn't born from a slayer, he was born from two vampires." Conner searched everywhere for her, she wasn't anywhere, where could Cordelia be. He grew angry punching the mailbox beside him. "What have you done with her?" He screamed tears shedding his eyes. Lorne Waited for everyone to be seated." the things that are happening well we already realized it's a prophecy it says Buffy is to be as one with her mate , but, Angelus isn't her mate. They world is going chaotic, no one is safe now. My mother bless her soul , had told me about Jenny, I went to the powers and asked for their help, they granted my wish and let me bring her here." he paused sipping his vodka and put the glass back on the table, he stood, pulling out a piece of paper. "There might be a way to put a hold on this until we can get her back to normal." Lorne said watching the group carefully "What Lorne, What is it. " Wes asked curiously. The Wolfman and Hart building was going frantic, phones, computers, people screaming and yelling. Harmony was going crazy, she wish people would shut up, she grabbed her head trying to relive her headache, a human lady walked by with a file folder and harmony could taste her warm blood, her head pounded and her skin began to burn, she shook her head frantically trying to get the image out of her mind, again, it over came her, she vamped and knocked stuff of the counter jumping over it she trampled the lady, the lady screamed and a smile grew on her lips she sunk her teeth into the woman's flesh slurping roughly. This wasn't the slayer anymore, not Buffy at least, he watched her cautiously growling intensely at him, a smile formed his lips and He knew she wasn't scared anymore, that she didn't care he lowered his head, pricking her bottom lip with his teeth her blood tasted different this time not sweet anymore. She groaned and kissed him fiercely grabbing the back of his head crushing them together tightly she pulled away, bringing his mouth to her neck she whimpered, waiting for him to take her., he obeyed sinking his teeth into her flesh, sucking at her now, tangy blood, they both exploded at the pleasure. Jenny stood grabbing the glass ball beside her " Everyone please take a seat around me." she sat in the middle the others following her a forming a circle around her, Giles lit the ten candles that Lorne placed in a circle and stared at her. " A musk, musk, a torche a torche." she yelled There was flash of blue light and the building rumbled, causing this to fall off the counters Eve fell over landing on Wes. "It's started, she already gone, faster than I expected." the group looked to her than back to Jenny. Angelus withdrew for a moment looking up at her, her eyes were full blown red now, there seemed to be no emotion nothing in her eyes now, just anger and lust, she growled loudly and pulled him down again crushing his mouth on her neck he paused for a moment and shrugged enjoying her warm blood , he slurped it willing. The lights started to flicker and again the building shook. "Bring fourth the light and hide the dark." Jenny said her eyes turned white and she was lifted off the floor. "Hide the dark, bring the light." Lorne chanted and the group followed chanting with him. "Hide the dark, bring fourth the light." They chanted loudly. A hole formed underneath jenny and a pool of fire started to form. "I call you o chanted one, I call for you, I call for mother earth." She screamed and a flash of lighting went through the window hitting the glass ball and shattering it. There was a roar and Jenny flew into the bookcase knocking her head on it. Giles gasped and stood rushing to her. "Jenny, oh god Jenny." Chapter 29b ( The New Member) There was no sun left it was after sunrise now and Willow looked up to the sky rushing out of the magic shop, Gunn and Oz following behind. "Will! I think a full moon coming, it shouldn't be, but, I feel really strange." Oz said looking worriedly at the red head. Gunn stooped and stared at the two. "We better go... look." He pointed in front of him towards the other side of town. Willow and Oz looked towards where he was pointing. A big Portal came towards them… "We got to go." Willow screamed opening the truck door and getting in. Angelus looked up at Buffy and hissed in pain loudly shoving Buffy really hard sending her flying in to the wall knocking her down he fell to his knees. "Oh shit!" He said and gasped in pain a flash of white light went through him and He opened his eyes scanning the room; he looked at the broken slayer. " Buffy! Baby, oh no." Angel cried running to his lover he picked her up cradling her in his arms, he scanned her body there was bruises and her neck was so badly biten, she almost was gone. He ripped his shirt grabbing the rag and wrapping around her neck. " Oh Buffy, What have I done." he said burying his face in the crook of her neck rocking her back in fourth gently. /// "We should be able to do something, he's the only one we got, the only one who can stop this." The girl said staring down at the broken slayer and the vampire. " There's nothing we can do The powers can't be found, something or someone has them and we can't do anything." The brother said walking toward his sister and standing beside her. " Manti, you know there is, and I think its time. He's the only one know who can get the blue theseron , at least make him able to walk in the sunlight, he needs too. Buffy she's lost and needs him to bring her back in time for the end." She looked to her brother and watched him carefully. " Alright, we will go speak to the Gosalt." The sister smiled and turned away. /// Angel watched his sleeping slayer, tears formed his eyes again and he placed his lips on her stomach giving her butterfly kisses," Please baby wake up." he whispered placing a kiss on her forehead . Laying his head on her shoulder he fell fast asleep. Spike awoke feeling someone lying on him he smiled looking down at Dru." Pet." He grabbed her kissing her fiercely , she growled and kissed back hungrily crawling on top of him. " Darling.. Your back." Spike's grin grew bigger and stood up helping her up to. " Sure am ,and bloody hell Dru why did you let me fall in with the slayer." he looked at her angrily and she glared at him. " You should eat. I have something special for you, come." She grabbed his hand leading him into the other room. Willow and Oz and Gunn entered the office staring at the new found guests. Willow looked to Giles then to the girl on the floor. " Jenny!" Giles, What's going on?" She asked rushing over to him. Oz looked to the crowd then the clock, " Uh guys I will be downstairs it seems we are having a full moon." Giles looked up to him standing up he walked towards the book they had been researching. " I remember reading something like that, Gunn would you mind taking Oz down, Willow could you please take Jenny up to Angel's apartment Wes, Can you help me." he turned to the Watchers and glared at them. " You can stay only to help, if you try once to kill either the vampire, me , or any of the others I will track you down and kill you all." He turned sitting down and looking through the book. Angel opened his eyes it was white all around he snorted standing up and scanning the blank room. " Champion." Angel looked in front of him and no one was there, checking around him there was still no one. " You have done well lower being, we sent for you." " Who are you? Where are you." Angel asked noticing the two figures coming towards him he recognized them it was the oracles. " What's happening to her? " he asked " Come champion please sit down." The male oracle said, a seat appeared in front of Angel and he sat. " The Chosen one , the one who lasts and protects the world the longest who's the strongest. Before she is transferred and made immortal forever protecting earth she is to do a trial, something that cannot be stopped it's in her destiny, The slayer is a creature just like you, one born to protect the world, but it still survives on instinct and the kill." " Anyways during the centuries and the many slayers, they were changed during time. Made faster, smarter but human too not just another non- human." The woman oracle said walking closer to Angel and flashing her hand in front of him. It turned to day and it was caveman stage of life, He looked to woman oracle and she smiled. " Watch the slayer back then look for it's prey." Angel watched the slayer fight , he was showed every generation of slayers till Buffy, then the first of all, he remembered Buffy telling him about the trip about having tokill her self that was her gift. The women flickered her fingers and they were transported back. She then waved her hands making a picture in front of him it was Angel and Buffy that Day. The forgotten Day the male turned to him looking at him. " This here shouldn't of changed, when you asked for this day to be forgotten, the new member was to be born, the strongest of them all, and for the good, a warrior a male slayer." Angel looked at them weirdly but didn't speak. " So we needed to fix it and we did for a while, getting Darla to have your child, but, things happened that we didn't predict." Angel stood up angrily and glared at the two. " What do you mean, Conner he is Buffy's, he's ours." The woman nodded and floated over to him placing her hand on his shoulder. " What happened we never suspected, Conner and Cordelia and her being turned, having the child Jasmine, You were able to stop that but.... Angel groaned pacing the room, things raced through his mind and he growled loudly. " What's going to happen if I can't stop this." Angel asked bluntly. " Buffy she'll turn to the dark side and will never be able to come back, Conner well He will be a partner with her one that will be stronger than any of you The one who at the will end of this all will destroy the world. Angel shook his head " No It can't be Buffy we could put a soul back if we had to, and…" The male put up his hand stopping Angel. " She won't come back her soul will be gone, its not like you, she has her soul it was never taken away." Angel looked up shocked . " What do I need to do?" The women smiled and grabbed his hand. "You will be granted a wish but Its something we get to pick, " Angel laughed and the women glared at him. " You'll be able to be in the sunlight for three days, after that it will be gone and you will never be able to get the dagger, Buffy and the world will be gone.." Angel nodded he opened his eyes and looked around realizing he was in the ferry. ************************ Chapter 30 (Ireland) Why was she cold? Where was she? It was so dark and cold… Angel watched the sleeping slayer she twitched and shivered and he cringed in pain. He couldn't believe what he had done! What she let him do. "God Baby I am so sorry." He whispered and the Ferry stopped he looked up from Buffy. They were there… In Ireland. Angel Picked up all their belongings and then picked her up getting them off the boat. The sun was coming up and Angel smiled slightly and looked down to Buffy. "I won't let you go again, love." /// Conner watched the people around him , they seemed so happy so content not knowing what was going on around them.* Stupid people* He slipped towards the front grabbing a pop from behind the counter, he watched the clerk who was helping a customer He snatched it and ran out of the store. Running back to his basement, Morning was coming and he needed to find Cordelia. He entered his home and he felt an odd sensation he only felt once before. He spun around looking towards the girl staring at him. "Who are you?" Conner grumbled. The Girl looked at him blankly and walked to him not taking her eyes off him. "You are Conner right?" She turned to the couch and sat down. Looking around the bare room, she looked at him strangely, "My name is Ariel and I need your help." Conner laughed and opened the door motioning her to leave. "Please Conner there are things you need to know. Things that are not to be undone... your destiny. "Ariel said. She watched him and he looked away walking towards the kitchen grabbing a drink of water he filled the glass letting it pour off his hands. /// It had been several hours since the spell. Gunn rubbed his gash on his head hissing in pain he grumbled loudly. Wes and Lorne entered not looking to good too. "I guess she hasn't waked up yet? " Gunn asked hesitantly. Wes moaned sitting in the chair placing his hand on his forehead resting his eyes. "There is so much we don not know and we need to find out, I wonder How Willow is making out with finding anything?" Wes said staring to the window into the next room where Willow and Oz sat. Oz looked through a book while Willow searched the net. She mumbled closing her laptop angrily. "Nothing, I can't find anything. I don't get it." She huffed. Oz looked at her sadly standing and pulling her into a hug. "Shh, Will. It's okay we will find something, maybe Buffy's okay and she able to keep Angelus tamed." He rubbed her back holding her tighter; she cried hard making puddles on his shoulder. "Baby, please don't cry." Oz breathed and Willow looked at him love flashed through his eyes and her heart fluttered. She wiped her tears placing a kiss close to his lips. "Thank you." She whispered grabbing his hand and leading him into the lobby. "Can you get Lorne, Wes? I might need his help." She said grabbing the phone. /// They had been walking for miles it seemed. Angel looked toward the town it was near but not near enough. He remembered a cottage years ago when he was last here where Darla and him use to stay, He spotted it and it seemed to be vacant the grass had grown vines around it covering the windows. The daises and Roses filled the yard, filling him with so many different sensations; He kicked the knob breaking it open. It was exactly as he remembered a little dusty; the kitchen was by the door, small for an ideal couple. The drapes were baby blue and the carpet too. The couch were covered with sheets , he noticed the room on the right it was a decent size , he grabbed the top blankets taking them off , patting the dust away, he placed her in it, covering her he kissed her forehead. He needed to get her food and well himself since he needed to eat too now. He found a basket heading outside to the yard there were many of plants and fruits growing. He smiled to himself at the beautiful scenery and grabbed the apples pulling them off and placing them in the basket. /// Ariel stood grabbing Conner by the shoulder spinning him around she placed her hand on his forehead and flashes started to happen. Conner screamed in pain at the memories and flashes. He fell to the floor gasping rapidlY. Dru smiled at Spike and he grinned happily at her reaching into his pants pocket on the floor he lit a cigarette enjoying the smooth taste in his throat. He looked at her seductively, a smile formed her lips, and she stood. "Daddy's ready." She sang and two vampires came in with a naked girl struggling to get free. Spike looked at her hungrily then to Dru. She licked her lips placing her finger in her mouth she biting down on her nail she giggled. "Is she alright? I even got a special one. She claims to be a gypsy." Spike growled, transforming into his demon his eyes flashed yellow and he instantly snatched her digging his teeth into her sweet flesh. Dru giggled clapping. "Ooh… oooh yes, drink baby." Drusilla said and Spike growled grabbing the girl. she squirmed under him and he held her tighter sinking his teeth deeper ravishing all of her. Angel watched the birds chirp. It had been another couple of hours and still Buffy was asleep falling deeper into the mess he had created. He hoped she would be happy. /// A Scream escaped Conner's lips and his eyes filled with tears, he looked at the girl frighten, she smiled grabbing his hand and letting him up and placing him on the couch. She sat beside him staring intensely at him. "What was that?" He asked and she looked away to the window and out to the dark sky. "It was your father and Mother." She said standing up and pulling something out of her pocket. "Let's get you some coffee, and something to eat. I'll explain it all then." She said. Conner nodded grabbing his jacket and following the mysterious women. They walked in silence towards the restaurant and Conner stared at the girl she was pretty and she reminded him so much of someone but he could put his finger on who it was. "Where are you from?" "It's a funny story I'm sure you'll love it." She said opening the door and heading inside the small Chinese restaurant. She ordered them coffee and sat in the booth by the back. He stared at her intensely looking at all of her features, her hair was reddish- blonde and she had blue eyes. She sipped her coffee looking at him weirdly. /// A tear escaped Angel's eyes and he wiped it away. It was so beautiful there in Ireland and He only wished she would wake up to enjoy it with him. He had only three days to find the dagger and get them home, before it was over ….forever. He grabbed the basket of Fruits and vegetables heading inside. She was so cold. Why was she so cold she shivered at her eyes fluttered open? Where was she? /// "I'm from here. LA. I'm not from this time." She said slurping her coffee loudly. Conner looked at her with a confused look. "Would you like more coffee?" Ariel smiled at him awkwardly." Would you like more coffee?" The woman snapped at them. "Uh yes, sorry and some food for him please a… Also, can we get a number one dinner?" The woman grumbled leaving them. "You came from another dimension." He asked and she shook her head. "No. Not really, this is my hometown but not my ummm time." She brushed her straight hair out of her face and twiddled with the rings on her fingers. Conner watched her hesitantly and moved himself in closer inches from her. She hesitated for a moment looking around her making sure no one was listening. "I came from a time that is not what you're used to. Not anything, like this world at all. My mother and father sent me here to change the world we are in right now and if we don't the life we have will be destroyed." "Huh, highly unlikely… I came from a demon dimension. What time are you from?" He asked curiously. The woman placed a food in front of Conner glaring at the two and leaving them quickly. Conner stared at the food playing with his fork. "I am from year 2020. The year 2020 to you might not be what it is now." He watched her grabbed his fork eating his food ravishing it all. "What was that you showed me at my house?" She sighed and crossed her legs staring into his brown eyes tears fell form them and she wiped them away. "My world…. Our world now soon no humans will roam this earth." Conner looked at her and finished his food placing his fork down. "Are you human?" /// Angel placed the fruit in the bowl. He grabbed a plate washing the dust off. He placed the carrots, tomatoes and lettuce in another bowl. He had also found lemons growing by the fields…He smiled glad his mother had taught him something, cooking was his specialty. He cut the lemon and grabbed a lettuce, tomato, and carrot cutting it into a salad, sprinkling the lemon juice on top of it. He searched the cupboards finding spices. He found the ones he needed and placed the salad on two dishes. Taking the other half of the lemon he turned on the water letting it run grabbing two glasses and squeezing the lemon into them. Setting the table, he washed his hands and headed to the bathroom. The bathroom too was dusty but not as bad as he thought. He grabbed Buffy's bag finding shampoo and soap and bubble bath he turned on the hot water filling the bathtub pouring the bubble bath the vanilla aroma filled his senses. Buffy sat up looking around the room a sharp pain went through her and she screamed holding her head. Angel heard her and rushed to the room opening the door and rushing to her said. Angel held her brushing her hair from her face she looked up at him painfully. "Angel, something's wrong. /// Why Do you say it was my mother and father... Angel yes is my father but Buffy isn't my mother, A vampire was.." He said angrily. A smile formed her lips and she stared at him for moments. " I told you there are things you need to know and see, will you come with me see what I'm talking about?" He stood and grabbed his jacket, holding out his hand. She smiled taking it. Conner looked around the dark room, he noticed a large Building down the road. It was The W/H building, what was left of it. "Where are we?" "My world and yours." She said turning down the bare street. They were silent for a while as the walked the lonely streets. "Conner there is things you're going to see that you might not like." He stared ahead and nodded his head. They walked into an empty bar there were many people there. Much of whom he recognized from his time. The watcher, the witch and of course his fathers close friends. He then seen a man huddled in the corner it was him sharpening a large sword. "If my father won't do it then I will." Future Conner said looking up towards another man who seemed to be a lot younger with blonde hair who was wearing a commando suit. "We have to listen to my father and yours Conner. I sure in hell am not going to piss your father off especially when it has to do with his wife… His mate." the young boy said sitting beside him. Future Conner snorted standing up grabbing his sword. "Fine, I will go alone!" He said storming off and slamming the door behind him. Conner looked from the crowd to Ariel; she was smiling slightly at him. Grabbing his hand and pulling him through another room. Angel sat on the chair with his hands in his face," God Buffy please come back to me.," he whispered "Angel! Angel! We found her." Willow said. Angel looked at the witch for moments and stood. "Where Willow. Where is she … Where's my fuckin Wife." his eyes turned yellow and a roar escaped his mouth making Willow jump. Angel frowned and his face softens. "Sorry." "Uh… you might want to come see for yourself." She said nervously. He nodded and followed her out the door, Conner and Ariel following behind. Willow had made a spell to locate her using a vortex in the middle of the room. Angel grunted as he watched his beloved, kill and torched many people, his eyes filled up with tears, Spike and even Drucilla was in toe behind her. Conner could not believe his eyes his father seemed so hurt and confused he never imagined this happening. He watched, as Buffy get more powerful. He turned looking towards Ariel, seeing raw emotions in her eyes. "What are we suppose to do?" he asked watching her carefully. She grabbed his hand leading him outside, the sky rumbled and a flash of lightening flickered. "Someone besides Buffy is doing this someone who made this all happen." She said turning her gaze towards the city. "Who Ariel? Who is doing this?" He grabbed her arm turning her towards him. " Conner, I. It's Cordelia; we need to destroy her in your time before this can happen." A confused look crossed his face and she placed her hand on his cheek caressing it softly." It cannot be; how she is in a coma. She wouldn't do that she's good." "True she is in a coma but since she is unable to control herself, it's able to take her over." Conner looked away stuffing his hands into his pockets sighing abrasively. "It's here always will be. Evil the first evil." Conner coughed and she grabbed his hand" Spike and Buffy and her friends had killed the first but they didn't do it all." "What do you mean all?" She grabbed her ponytail pulling her hair out of it. Tears formed her blue eyes and she squeezed his hand they disappeared and entered nother dimension. Conner looked around they were standing in front of a house with Blue trim. /// Buffy looked up at Angel frightened she began to shiver pulling the blankets over her. "There's something wrong Angel, I feel so different." Angel looked at her painfully and grabbed her pulling her on his lap and burying his face in the crook of her neck. "You don't remember?" He asked looking up into her hazel orbs. She moaned and pulled herself closer to him. "I remember being on the boat and Angelus… I, Oh my god. Angel." she gasped covering her mouth looking away from his intense stare. "Buffy baby. No! It's not you, its me I'm so sorry." She snapped her head up grabbing his arm and caressing it softly she could feel warmth and she froze. "Angel! Your… you're warm." Buffy you need to eat and I have to tell you something." She nodded pulling herself up, he grabbed her helping her up. He looked at her brushing the hair from her face. "I ran a bath for you and supper is made." She smiled at him slightly following him down the short hallway. He pulled her in pulling off her shirt , she moaned and dug her nails into him, continuing on he pulled off her pants and underwear picking her up and placing her in the warm bath. A sigh escaped her lips and she closed her eyes placing her head against the wall, He grabbed the cloth and soap lathering her up. He started with her head then her face working his way down. He stopped at her breast groping them softly moving his hands down father cleaning every inch of her body and moving to her core, She choked on a breathe and he looked at her passionately. He pulled her up pulling her hair from her face and scrubbing her back. She felt so warm again; the air was filled with different aromas of vanilla, spice and oranges. The bathroom was quite small very cute the curtains were white and the rest of the room was blue which gave it a warm touch. "Where are we?" She whispered enjoying his big hands on her. He smiled at her and finished washing her hair. "A Cottage outside of Ireland, we use to come here lots. It is beautiful here I will have to show you around the garden, the sunrise is beautiful. , Second most beautiful thing in this world." She smiled shyly looking away from his intense stare. "What's the first most beautiful thing?" She asked letting him pick her up and dry her off. "Only you." Tears fell from her eyes and she kissed his lips softly. "Angel." "Yes beloved." She looked scared and she averted his gaze pulling on her clothes. "What's happening to me? It had been two hours since they last spoke; they just sat staring at the huge green field across from them. They sat on the swing that was positioned beside the front door. "Its Lovely here. I could stay here forever." She said grabbing the two hot steaming cups of coca and handing him one. "Ya I always liked it here, I really have missed it here." He said sadly looking down at his feet, she noticed moving closer to him. /// "Where are we?" Conner asked turning to look at Ariel. She was not there he peered through the window. Where did you go Ariel? "Conner!" He heard her voice and turned sharply to the person standing in front of him. "Cordelia." He shouted looking closely at the figure. "I need you Conner, Please Where are you?" "No! Conner don't do or say anything." Ariel yelled from behind startling the boy. He spun around looking at her she had changed her hair was now loosely hanging on her shoulders and she had changed into an outfit that the boy was wearing in there last trip. She had weapons all over her and a rifle in her hands. "Are you coming?" She asked grabbing the duffle bag and flinging it over her shoulder. He looked at her confused and then to Cordelia. "It's magic all of it, now we don't have time, come on." She moved her hand along the cement making a portal in the ground. She glanced at him and jumped. Conner looked back to the floating figure and jumped too. /// Amorie, Amorie, I call you. My guardian my light, our saviour come to me." A loud rumble shook the place and Cordelia and Anya flew landing on the floor. "Fuck!" Cordelia growled her eyes turning yellow. Anya stared at her friend and closed her eyes. "D'Hoffryn, DHoffryn come before me." She chanted. A flash came and a jolt of wind passed through them. "Who's calling me?" D"Hoffryn said angrily. He looked from Cordelia then to Anya. Shaking his head vigorously, He walked towards her. "Anyanka!" Angel was worried about Buffy she seemed distant sitting in front of the fireplace. He had told her everything that had happened and she shut down. He grabbed the plate of fruit and the 1950's bottle of wine that he found in the cellar below, he poured two glasses and entered the living room placing them on the coffee table in front of him. A song came on in the background, it was one of Buffy's favourites; Wild Horses, he grabbed her hand pulling her into his embrace. They danced silently around the room. "I know why you left me." She said whispering in his ear. He pulled back looking at her, a strange look upon her face. "I pushed you away when you needed me the most… I cured you and turned away because I was selfish." Tears fell fast now soaking his shoulder. "You never sent me away Buffy please don't ever think that." She watched him cautiously and placed her head back on his shoulder. "Angelus told me about you sleeping with Cordelia. He told me that is what you wanted! When she disappeared you were going to tell her you loved her." Angel choked coughing harshly. "A part of me still believes you do love her and I well I…." Angel's lips were on hers giving her butterfly kisses all over her face. He picked her up placing her gently on the couch. He looked at her and searching her eyes, they were so sad and so confused. He gently caressed her face with his left hand using his right hand he started to unbutton her shirt exposing her bare skin. Her nipples grew hard at his touch and he noticed his erection growing harder. She was wearing a black bra with flowers all over it, it was a sequent just enough for him to see her new formed nipples waiting to be touched, he dipped down taking one into his mouth and biting lightly making her purr. "Buffy we will get through this and when we do I will show you how much I love you and only you." He moved back up taking her mouth with his kissing her passively. She groaned using her hands to pull off his pants, scratching her nails down his back. She whimpered burying her face in the couch, he looked at her and smiled dipping back down this time to her core she wiggled grabbing his head and bringing back to her face. She positioned herself and waited for him to enter her she gasped as he placed himself inside of her. Growling louder he paused waiting for her to adjust to him. They rocked together in sync with each other, exploring places that seemed unknown to them, but to them every time was their first. She sighed kissing his neck and biting down softly. He growled rocking harder lifting her up and grabbing her ass pounding into her like it was her last. He grunted as he watched his lover moan in ecstasy. He tried for a while to hold himself and she smiled wiggling underneath him. "Get up." She said abruptly and he looked at her weirdly. He stood and she blushed turning around and sticking her ass in front of him. She giggled and a pain shot through her and she gasped her eyes turning a reddish colour. She looked at him again and a rumble escaped her lips." Come here lover." Angel watched her in amusement and grabbed her ass pulling her to him. Entering her roughly, breaking away the tender skin. He fucked her hard and the both screamed in pleasure, he pounded her once more exploding is seed in side of her. /// 1 day later/ Conner scrambled through the sewers trying to keep up with Ariel. She was very fast, very stubborn she still had something about her he could not put his fingers on it, and he was going to find out. She stopped abruptly making him bump into her. The sky rumbled and the sewer shook. "We need to go it's already started." She said grabbing the ladder, she turned and looked at him staring at him, which to him seemed like forever. "If we get lost, meet me at your apartment, Okay?" He nodded and she headed up the ladder.' They got to the top and sirens were blaring the downtown was trashed not much was left of it, nothing really at all. "This isn't LA. Where are we," he asked looking around him and then to her. She looked away staring down the empty street. "It is Conner, When we left it had begun, but where we were only two hours here like a day." His eyes filled with anger. He pulled her with him down the street throwing her into the quiet alley. "Who are you? Who are your parents?" He asked angrily. She shook her head noticing a bench across the road she motioned him to follow. The sky rumbled again and the city shook, causing buildings to collapse. "I am a guardian of the realms for the Champions." He watched her silently grabbing a rock and playing with it. "I thought the powers that be couldn't appear anywhere only in there realm." He asked and she laughed quietly. He grew angry glaring at her." The PWB they aren't champions they are gatekeepers like me only higher, the answer to the gods and well I answer to them." She stood pulling her duffle bag off and opening up grabbing a piece of paper out of it. "Who are the Champions? Let me guess my father and the slayer." She fidgeted through her duffle bag some more ignoring his last question. She clapped when she found it .Pulling it out placing it on the ground. Conner looked at it closely; it was an engraved sword that had a weird looking beast on it. "They asked me to give this too you. They said you would know how to use it and what it was for?" She said zipping the bag and flipping it back over her shoulder and turning walking towards the streetlight. Conner stared at it picking it up he rushed to her. "What? How am I supposed to know what this is? What to do with it?" He grew angry stepping in front of her. "Who is it? Tell me what you know." He yelled. She grabbed his face and caressed it softly making him grunt. He pulled away walking away from her. "You really want to know Conner, What's to come." She said sadness in her voice. He turned sharply and shook his head aggressively. "Yes, I would, just tell me what's going on." /// Angel opened his eyes to the brightly lit room he smiled that he was able to see the sun without it burning him. He glanced beside him noticing an empty space beside him. He could smell freshly brewed Coffee and what smelt like blueberry pancakes. He looked up towards the kitchen. Buffy poured the coffee and finished the last pancake grabbing the fresh picked strawberries she grabbed a cup squeezing the juice out of them and over the pancakes. She grabbed the trays heading into the living room. She noticed Angel and smiled. "Morning." She hummed and placed the food and coffee in front of him. He smiled and kissed her hand as she sat beside him. He watched her in amusement," what's this." "I um well I learnt a lot after mom died and well I can't keep you hungry now can I." She breathed softly and he groaned, pulling her into a kiss. /// Conner the ones who have called me, sent me to you… they are> "Look out Ariel "Conner screamed running to her and kicking the large monster to the ground. The monster growled and grabbed him slamming him into the wall, Conner than grabbed the monster kicking it in the head it dropped and he pulled the sword spinning it frantically and stabbing the monster. Ariel rushed for her bag, reaching in and grabbing her sword she turned back to see a panting Conner and a dead monster. "I uh, sorry…" She walked to him; he was staring at the dagger in his hand. "Cool." he said smiling. "She laughed grabbing him and hugging him tightly. " Let's go, you need some rest and I have some explaining to do. It was getting darker and Conner noticed that Ariel was cold he placed his jacket over her taking her into his strong arms. Angel turned over and opened his eyes he could hear the birds chirping loudly and he smiled; he reached over to find the space beside him empty. The Sun was full blown in the window now and it hit his face, a smile crossed his face at that the sun he could feel it and he loved that. He could smell a mix of cinnamon and hazelnut and citrus he pulled on his pants and headed to the kitchen he moaned at the sight in front of him. There she was his goddess she was wearing a black tank top and blue tight stretch pants that hugged her hips. Her hair was in a braid and she was humming quietly. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and she moaned softly. "Morning." he whispered breathing heavily in her ear. She spun around staring into his deep chocolate orbs." mmmm, morning handsome." she said kissing him softly. He kissed back eagerly and looked from her to the platter she was making. "What's this "he asked pointing to the toast and the fresh fruit. She smiled picking it up and heading to the table he followed behind her attaching his hand to her pants. "Its breakfast and we need to eat before we go." she said placing two coffee's in front of them. He sat and grabbed a strawberry enjoying the taste. "Yummy, I missed food." He said as he searched for more fruit to ravish. She smiled wiping her hands on her pants and sat down grabbing her coffee and sipping it. "Food is good," she said watching him intensely. He grabbed her hand pulling her from the chair and on his lap; grabbing an orange, he placed it in her mouth tracing her perfect lips with his fingers. "So you said they gave you 3 days." He nodded but did not say anything. She shifted on him awkwardly and he noticed letting her up. "That means two days to go. How long to town?" She asked taking another huge sip from her coffee. He could tell she was anxious and that she was hiding something from him, but he brushed it away and ate another piece of fruit. " It's about an hour and a half walk if we are luckily, there is a magic shop at the edge of town, some gypsies own it maybe they can help." He said biting in to the half-burnt toast. She nodded getting up and grabbing her tote bag filling it with items. Putting it over her shoulder, she waited for him to finish. /// It was seven in the morning and the sun there was now full blown, they had been walking for at least a have an hour. Buffy looked around at the scenery it was beautiful there. She had never seen anything that beautiful before. There were fields upon fields of green grass and flowers; the air was filled with the scent of lilacs and daises. She turned to Angel looking at him; he smiled grabbing her hand and squeezing it tight. "It's so beautiful here so peaceful. It's a perfect place to raise a family," she said tearing her gaze from him. "It is. I will show you where I grew up and where I went to school if it's still there," he said pulling her to the left. They turned down another dirt road there were many farms up ahead; they were very old and worn. They were almost there and Angel could see the town from there. "You never got along with your parents how come?" She asked hesitantly. He sighed and rubbed his forehead with his free hand." My father was a big man in town he was the owner a shop and my mother was a schoolteacher. I tried my best not to get into trouble but my father always seemed to have it out for me, said I was a waste of space that I shouldn't have been born." Buffy looked to him and seen the pain filling in his eyes and she squeezed his hand harder. "My mother always stuck up for me I was her little boy. I don't know why my father hated me he just did, had something always to complain about I tried to get him to talk even tried to help him out but I was always a looser to him. I began to drink a lot; I would go to the bars every night with my best friend Tom. I remember one night Tom and I were slaushed and Kathleen my sister had found me she was badly bruised and beaten. She wouldn't let me know who had done it she just cried and cried. I had brought her home and my father had seen me thinking it was I that had done that. He wailed on me for hours my mother and my sister had tried to stop him but he kept on hitting, I ended up at the local nurse's station where I had stayed there for days." He paused grabbing a tulip and handing it to Buffy. She stopped turning him towards her she stared at him for moments looking into his dark eyes he seemed to have so much pain in them and she placed her hand on his cheek. "Later on I had found out it was my father who had done it, he was angry at me and I was no where to be found and well she tried to stick up for me and he hit her. I was furious that he would hit a girl especially his daughter I decided that I was going to make him pay make him feel like we had. I ended up at the Basly bar which was the bar I always went too, well I tried to make a plan got wasted in the meantime and then that's when I seen her…. Darla." Angel stooped abruptly making Buffy trip over him they were there finally but it was a lot different then her remembered it had been centuries since he had been there. He scanned the area seeing a local restaurant ahead. Pulling her with them the entered the small building. They went to the back sitting at a booth. A waiter came up taking their coffee order and leaving them quickly. /// NEW YORK Dawn entered the apartment throwing her keys and Jacket on the couch. "Xander are you home? Xander." Xander headed down the stairs two suitcases in his hands." Xander what is it." Dawn asked looking from the suitcases to him. "Dawn hey, uh you need to pack we need to go." Xander said placing the suitcases by the door. "Why? She asked placing her hands on her hips looking weirdly at him "The gang their in trouble we need to go help. Uhhh there seems to be a problem." He said turning his gaze from her and grabbing his keys. "What Xander, What is it?" Grabbing his arm aggressively. He pulled away walking toward the kitchen. "A Prophecy has come, Buffy she's in danger." Dawn swallowed hard following behind. There was silence for a moment "When? When do we go?" She asked turning towards the stairs. /// Spike growled at the gypsy and grabbed her aggressively she screamed trying to break free from his grip. He laughed harshly and averted his gaze to Dru who was clapping. "Want some pet." He asked looking hungrily at her. She shook her head and walked closer. "No she's yours all yours." She grabbed the gypsy by the head turning her head so that Spike could eat her. A pain shot through Dru and she screamed clapping on the floor. Spike dropped the gypsy grabbing his fallen lover. "What is it Dru? What do you see?" He asked. Dru's eyes grew big "Daddy, Daddy isn't home anymore." She aid holding her head. Spike looked at her weirdly and helped her up. She stood looking around the room and to Sylvia who watched them quietly. "Go find out about daddy see if it's true what the stars are telling me, if it is bring him to us." She said and the vampire nodded exiting the room.' "Dru what is it?" Spike asked growling intensely at the gypsy who was trying to escape. "Daddy is human he isn't one of us anymore." She said plunging towards the gypsy and grabbing her snapping her neck quickly. Spike looked at her a confused look on his face walking towards her he stopped in front of her. She turned to Spike throwing the dead gypsy at him. "Drink we need to go." Spike obliged sinking his teeth into the girl and sucking her dry. /// Xander and Dawn boarded the plane taking there seat in the third row. Dawn turned to him staring at him; she grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. "They are fine… I'm sure of it." She said softly. Xander gave her a half smile. "I hope so, I really do." Buffy and Angel sat quietly to the back of the little coffee shop it was very quiet not many people were in there. Buffy picked at her Danish and watched Angel as he played with his cup. "I'm sorry Angel about your parents I didn't know." She said reaching across the table and rubbing his hand. He smiled and sipped his coffee." Buffy its okay it was a long time ago and well I just…..I didn't really open up to you about them." "What was your mother like?" She whispered softly. A huge grin formed on his lips and he laughed. "Wow well my mother was the greatest she cared a lot for people especially children. Kathleen and I ever Tuesday after school would go to a class with her and read to the blind. I sometimes would go without her too before I became a drunk." He said glancing out the window. "She was really the only one besides my sister that cared about me, she always told me that there was something for me in this world something big and that one day I would be a saviour." he laughed harshly. "Well see I guess in a way it's true." Buffy smiled and grabbed his hand kissing it. "It is you're an amazing man and very caring." She said drinking the last drop of her coffee. "Should we go?" She asked and he nodded and paid the server and they left. The streets became busier now, people talking and going to work. Angel noticed the school was still there a little re done but still the same. "There's my old school," He pointed to the right. There was a museum across the road on the left he grabbed her pulling her with him inside. The museum was huge Buffy had never seen a museum that big before. Angel remembered one of his drawings were there so he began to look for it, he found it towards the back.Buffy's mouth dropped open and a gasp escaped her lips. "Angel, oh my god it's beautiful." She said tracing her fingers along the panting. It was two women sitting at what seemed like a ball they had big frilly dresses on and drinks in there hands the older one had brown hair and blue eyes her features very fine and she had a mole on her left cheek. The other girl was younger with brown hair and brown eyes she had the brightest most beautiful smile Buffy had ever seen she looked a lot like Angel. Buffy turned to Angel her eyes grew big he gave her a half smile and grabbed her hand. "My mother and Sister on my sister 16th birthday. That's the last time I seen her." He choked holding back the tears that started to form. "Oh Angel." Buffy breathed she leaned up to him on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Don't let it… It wasn't you, he's not you," She whispered grabbing his hand and leading out of the museum. They walked for a while Angel showing her what he remembered they finally found the magic shop. It was a lot different from what Angel remembered but it also was centuries past his time. They entered and Buffy turned up your nose wiggling it in disgust, he laughed and looked around for a teller. "It's sage and musk." He said to her." Ugg smells gross," she said picking up a crystal ball and looking at it. "Can I help you?" The women asked coming from the back of the store. Buffy left him standing there and studied the objects. She found a huge book it read." The guide to all magic… thou shall not foresee what's ahead." "Hmmm, Will would like this." she said picking it up. "Uh, yes we are a little new here." He lied "ummm we are trying to find a cave it's called the mashim cave for the lost souls. Do you know where we can find it?" The old woman looked at him strange and looked past him to Buffy who was still studying the items in the back. "I don't know what you're talking about young man I've never heard of it." She said still curiously watching Buffy. Angel groaned and placed his hands in his pockets looking towards the door then back to her. "Please ma'am I know it's here, I just heard it moved." The woman looked to him looking him up and down studying his face. "You look familiar young man do you live around here." She asked. "Angel coughed "uh no, I um had relatives that use to live here but they are gone." Angel then remembered the last time he had been to Ireland was right after Buffy had left to see her father after the master he decided to come see someone that could maybe help his problem, a gypsy lady named Sophie had tried to help him. "Uh, Is Sophie around, she helped me last time I was here." The woman looked at him strangely and walked from behind the counter to right in front of him. "Angelus." She said and Angel swallowed hard. "I mean Angel is that you?" she asked studying his face. Angel looked at her closely realising it was her. "Sophie is that you…. You uh…. "I aged a lot yes I know comes with the territory, please follow Me." she said motioning him to follow her. Angel seen Buffy and grabbed her hand following the woman into the back. It smelt worse in there to Buffy she felt like she was going to puick the mix of the seasonings made her nausea They woman asked them to sit and left going into a locked room. Buffy looked to Angel weirdly and he shrugged grabbing her hand tightly. It had been about 20 minutes when the woman came back she placed the items she had got and sat in front of them. Her eyes wondered to Buffy. "You my child are lost, is there something you would like to tell me?" She asked staring intensely at Buffy. "I… I don't think so." Buffy said looking strangely to the woman then to Angel. "I can help you my child, but you need to be honest with me… I see things bad things and right now you are not what your suppose to be." She said sprinkling some dust in a bowl and mixing it with some liquid. "I don't understand. We were told to come here to get something, we need to retrieve a dagger it's a blue theseron dagger suppose to be in the Lost Souls cave." Angel said bluntly squeezing Buff's hand harder. The woman looked from Angel then to Buffy gazing deeply at her. Buffy fidgeted in her seat the woman was making her uncomfortable; she did not know what she was talking about. Angel too was confused but if there were something wrong, she would be able to tell. "Sophie what is it? What do you see?" He asked nervously. Sophie stood taking the whistling kettle of the stove a pouring three cups. She started to shake her head vigorously. "This wasn't suppose to happen not now not for a very long time." She turned looking Angel straight in the eye. "She needs to die!" It had been about twenty minutes since she had cried or even spoke at all. Sophie had explained the trials to Buffy saying the only way to stop what was going to happen was for her to die. Angel frowned he couldn't let her go there had to be another way. He watched as she blankly stared out the window. She had raced from the magic shop running anywhere but there he had caught up to her she had cried for a eternity it felt like. He had picked up the fragile slayer finding a small hotel and booking a room. A sigh escaped her lips. " I'm not scared to go… I knew one day it would happen this way it should of happened already." She spoke not looking at him still looking out the window. He did not speak he just took of his shoes taking a place beside her and wrapping his arms around her petite body. "Don't think like that Buffy, there is another way and if there isn't you'll win you always do." He paused turning her on her other side so he was facing her. "I won't let you die I will protect you." He said tears forming his eyes. /// Spike growled and got on the cargo train after Dru. The slayer had been found and so had Angel. They were going to Italy and mmmmm the taste. Spike smiled at Dru as he pictured sinking his teeth into the sweet blood of the slayer, with the spell Dru had found soon they would have angelus too on their side. Willow smiled jumping up and grabbing her jacket." Got it let's go." she said grabbing Oz's hand. They fled the building, quickly glancing at the ex watcher and mouthing that she found it he nodded back looking towards the watcher's council. Topy looked amongst the group and then towards his boss slipping past the AI team he stood closely by Traveller staring at him intensely. "Boss could I have a minute with you?" He asked as he straighten his tie. Traveler gave him an annoyed look and followed him to the office. "Sir it's done." Traveller smiled at his employee and reached in his pocket for a cigar.Lighting it he took the first drag and looked passed Toply to the group. Wes and Gunn were now standing by the computer printing off a description of the spell Willow needed to perform. Giles was up in the room with the gypsy Jenny. "Let's go before we become bits to." He said slipping past Wes and Gunn and Heading out of the building. They finally got to the car getting inside; Traveller grinned wickedly looking back to Toply. "Time for Part B. Get me to the boys' place." He said patting the driver's seat. The driver nodded and started the car. "Should have stayed out of it Giles." Traveller said looking back to the building. Topy looked down at the device and turned the key. It seemed like moments to him, he turned back once more and the car shook as the building exploded behind them pieces flying everywhere. /// Lilah smiled at Fred and opened the door. They were back in W/H or what use to be Wolfman and Hart building. Fred gasped running around the room looking for bodies. "Wes, Gunn, please where are you saying something." Fred screamed. Lilah watched the scared girl and a saddened look crossed her face. Nobody could escape it, not anyone. She thought of Wes and a tear escaped her left eye falling to the floor, Fred stopped looking over at Lilah. A sound came from Fred and Lilah back away nervously. Fred thought of Wes, Gunn and whoever else that had been there, anger arouse and Fred jumped clasping her hand around Lilah's throat. "What the fuck happened here, did you do this." Fred growled squeezing Lilah's throat harder. Lilah choked and Fred loosened her grip snarling at her. "No this I don't know… someone that wants W/H to go down,the senior partners wouldn't do this to their own building. Someone else is in this and I know who to talk to, let's go." /// "Can we go to the cave; I need to find this dagger thingy I can't sit here Angel. I…. I need to go," she whispered Angel knew Buffy and even if he had wanted her not to go, he knew that she was going to he could not stop her. He nodded pulling her up and kissing her. She moaned clasping tighter to his body, if she were going to die at least this time she would be free she would be with him eternally. She knew that she should not think that but she knew he would go with her: it was time for them. He entered her mouth biting down on her tongue lightly. "Mine. My mate forever." He growled ripping her shirt off and grabbing her nipple sucking hard. ********************** He entered her faster this time stopping at her breast with his mouth he took her in again biting lightly and breaking the skin tasting her precious blood.. She flipped him over lowering her head to his cock taking him fully in she sucked him hard making him come instantly They watched the lovers and the huge smiles crossing their faces. " What if they cant succeed, what if….." " Shhhh, it will be okay they will get through this they always do." He said placing a hand on his sister's shoulder. Fear crossed her face and he to got frightened, he hadn't seen his sister this worried since the plague the crossed Europe. They watched the two lovers profess their love to one another and tears fell down her eyes. " I just hope this time, she can handle it." Manti said tearing his gaze from them. They spent hours in ecstasy their love making was pure but more animalistic more intense It had felt like it was over like nothing mattered anymore; it was heaven she mumbled and gazed at her lover pulling the blankets with her. It was now 5 pm and they needed to leave Angel prepared the weapons as she tried to get a hold of Willow. She slammed down the phone knocking the bowl onto the floor; grabbing her jacket and looking towards Angel . " Ready?" " Yes" He said grabbing the weapon bag and following her out the door, *** Ariel cried burying her hands in her face. So far it was coming true, faster than she had expected. It seemed there was a lot of bodies, she really didn't know how many. Who died? Conner stared at Ariel wondering what was going through her head, he really didn't know anything about her at all except what she had told him. *** It was so cold there more than she has ever felt besides maybe being dead. she laughed harshly and Angel looked at her confused. " What?" He asked curiously. " Nothing." She lied looking towards the sky. " It's a full moon tonight I hope they are all right?" She said putting her hands in her jacket pocket. " There strong they will be alright." he said moving closer to her. The Vortex started to move closer and Dawn grew more worried, she didn't really know how to get to Wolfman and Hart. " Xander. Look there's Willow." Dawn shriek. They ran towards the witch. Her and Oz had found Conner's basement and were heading inside. " Dawn, Xander." Willow shouted grabbing them and hugging them. Oz smiled and put out his hand . " Good to see you man." Xander nodded and turned to Willow. " What the hell is going on/" Xander blurted out. A concerned look crossed Willow's face and she paused looking towards her lover, we should split up to find him why don't You and Dawn go in the truck. Xander and I will go this way. " Alright" Oz said placing a kiss on her forehead and pausing grabbing her hand and spinning her into his arms. " I love you don't forget that when this is over all of it we need to talk." he said opening the truck and getting inside, she smiled and squeezed his hand nodding in agreement. " Be careful Dawn. Oz will explain everything." " I will you too." Dawn said hugging the witch and Xander and getting back in he truck. Xander followed Willow through the basement bumping into a close book on the floor he picked it up studying it closely. He had never seen a book like this before it glowed florescent green and it had slim covered all over it. " Hey Will, what's this." He asked turning to her and placing the book in her hands, " Conner we have no time its started faster than I expected, we need to go maybe there's something I missed." Ariel said pulling her jacket tighter. Toply watched the two from behind the bookcase creeping closer he grabbed the lamp on the table smashing over the boy and girls head looking over toward Traveller, Topley grabbed the boy and waited for Greenvalt to take the girl. " Come on take them, I believe Willow might be a help to us. They two placed the bodies in the back and entered the car. A smile formed Travellers lips and Toply understood exactly what he wanted, he reached behind him lighting the dynamite and throwing it to the building. ***** Maybe it was better this way; maybe this what was always meant for them everyone had always said that they were meant for something bigger meant for a higher purpose or maybe they were suppose to die together. It didn't really matter anymore to her what happened as long as they were together. She shivered and he noticed pulling his jacket off and putting in over her shoulders. He caught her gaze and gave her a half smile she returned they smile placing her petite hands in his large ones. " Are you ready." He asked looking into the dark cave. A moment passed and she didn't speak she just stood there. " Angel?" " Yes love." he said pulling her closer to him. " Are you sure that you can do this, that…." He stopped her placing his cool lips on hers kissing her softly he placed his hands under her jacket. " I go… where you go." A smile formed her lips but it disappered quickly. " Lets go." It was dark in there she couldn't see at all good thing Angel was a vampire and had night vision they reached the door noticing a lit torch on the wall. " Somebody's waiting for us." He said grabbing the torch with his right hand and entwining his other hand with hers. Opening the doors he paused looking back to her. " I love you baby." He said placing a kiss on her forehead. A tear fell from her eyes and she choked on a breathe. " I love you too Angel, always." They entered the room not knowing what to expect next. “Anyanka what do you want? Why aren’t you dead?” He asked creeping closer to her. Cordy snorted and stood up abruptly.” I can’t deal with this right now, later.” She snapped her fingers. “D’hoffryn I need your help.” She said looking towards him. **** Dawn began to become antsy at oz’s staring, glancing at her once more he pulled over where a pay phone was. She watched him leave and looked passed him to the chaotic city, people were screaming demons trashing the city, this seemed more worse than she could imagine no one told her were Buffy was or even Angel for that mattered, she knew they weren’t dead Willow never mentioned it…or did Willow even know about Wolfman and Hart. Her heartbeat began to beat faster making her start to hyperventilate. “Dawn! Are you alright.” Oz asked shaking her lightly. “Uh ya sorry.” she said giving him a fake smile. “I know you are a bit confused and last time uh Buffy didn’t have a sister, long story but monks sent me to Buffy for her to protect.” She said looking towards the ocean. “Why are we here?” She asked curiously, he smiled opening the door. “A friend she might be able to help.” He said pulling the door open and getting out. Her mouth formed an o shape locking the door she watched him go towards a figure; she squinted not making the person out, she breathed loudly laying her head on the back of the seat. ****** He watched them for a while following their every move, he noticed the girl she seemed so fragile. He crept closer to them following them to the blown up building. “My home, my stuff all of It…. it’s gone.” “Conner I’m so sorry I …. Who’s there?” Ariel paused looking around her and then towards the street light walking passed Conner she followed her instinct jumping on top of the ladder up towards the roof of the next building, Conner watched confusedly. “Ariel?” He followed two steps behind. His breath became more rapid, she was a lot faster than he was and he got annoyed. “Ariel.” She paused at the voice and turned slamming Conner in the process, “Ariel, we need to go, you need to come back.” A strangely odd-looking man walked closer to them and Conner grabbed Ariel covering her in his big arms not sure who this man was. “No, I can’t it’s not done, we haven’t succeeded, I need to finish.” She said tears forming her eyes and she brushed them away quickly. “Ariel, You already changed to much, this isn’t something you can mess with.” He grew angry walking closer to her inches from both of them. Do you know how angry your parents are, how worried they have been.” “Yes but… I know I can do this, please let me try.” She pleaded with him. “Please whistler… please help us,” she asked looking sadly at him. **** Willow opened her eyes hissing in pain at her throbbing head; she noticed Xander lying chained up beside her she moaned trying to sit up, not managing to she cursed, her eyes turning dark colour. Toply bared his teeth grinning happily at the tied up witch, he moved in closer checking to make sure everything was all tight and secure. “You so don’t know who you’re messing with do you?” She hissed her eyes turning all black now and her stare burning holes through the watcher. ****** It was dark still even with the torch a loud. Cold too, some weird smell that neither of them could handle. A crackling sound came and Buffy jumped grasping on to Angels shirt. “Ahhh yes, yes, yes they have come. They have come to see me, there blood boils for me, the need me the hunger… “Angel, can you see anything.” Buffy asked nervously staring at him anxiously. A loud growl echoed through the cave, and a breeze slipped through sending chills up Buffy’s spine. “It’s time to play.” Chapter 34 It was silent for a while and Buffy was getting anxious they could hear something scurrying around in the cave and it wigged her out she grabbed harder onto Angel’s jacket digging her nails into his arm. He pulled back and she grew embarrassed. “Sorry baby I am just a little jumpy.” She said as they stood into a merge. There was now three other paths leading to different area’s. “Should we separate?” He asked sniffing the air for any hints of where this creature had headed. She did not answer just grabbed his arm pulling him down the tunnel to the right, her stomach started to throb again and she grabbed it clutching it firmly. Angel noticed and paused turning her to him. “What’s wrong love?” He asked sensing her pain. She tried to smile lifting her hand and brushing it through his hair, “I’m alright just a cramp.” Staring more intensely at her he realized she was lying. “Buffy please tell me what is it? I can sense something wrong, has it started again?” He asked. He watched as she searched for words; he knew that she was hiding something from him, something that seemed big and he could not let them go on until she told him. “I’m fine really I just got a cramp it’s gone.” She said trying to smile. realizing she was not going to budge they began to walk farther into the cave. “Yes, yes further, further I can smell you; your fear………… Yes the hate radiating off of you.” It grumbled loudly from the distance. “Oh shit,” Buffy screamed falling to the ground. Angel heard her scream and watched as she fell to the floor hitting the ground hard. “Buffy, Buffy, please wake up.” he murmured cradling her in his arms; she lay still not moving or even breathing. Angel panicked picking her up and running back they way they came rushing out of the cave and on to the dirt road placing her on the ground he placed his finger under her chin trying to feel a pulse he felt a slow one and sighed. It was at least an hour walk to the closest doctor and Angel grunted loudly stomping furiously down the deserted road. What had happened to her, what? was she hiding, what was causing her cramps? His mind raced for answers but he could not figure it out, whatever happened in the cave happened before at the magic shop and on the ferry. The moon was full blown and the sky seemed darker now and a weird smell had crossed his nose , it was a smell of flesh rotting he growled slightly picking his pace up and heading towards the town. He reached the welcome sign turning; right he headed towards the hospital. He entered the small building noticing a nurse talking with a man laughing and giggling. “Excuse me! My wife she needs help… please help her.” He asked trying to hold back the tears that were forming. “Yes, what happened to her?” The nurse asked pulling around a wheel chair, putting it in front of him, grabbing Buffy, and sitting her in it. “I…I don’t know she collapsed fainted… Please help her.” Angel hurried to the phone watching the nurse take Buffy into the third placing a quarter in the phone he dialled his office. *Ring, Ring*, *Ring, Ring* “Fuck, pick up guys. Come on…. * Ring, Ring* Come on… He growled. *Ring, Ring* Where the fuck can they all, be. Yelling and slamming the phone down and making the women and the child sitting on the bench get up and scurry away. He sniffed the air following her scent they placed her in the third room by the window she had not woken up yet and the doctor and nurse were examining her, he watched silently taking a chair beside her and taking her hand in his. The doctor stopped noticing him and frowning at him slightly. “Mr. Sorry I didn’t catch your name.” “Um Mr. Angel.” Angel finished and the doctor shook his hand and flipped through the file. I need you to fill out some paper work and give it back to the nurse. “Okay what happened is she going to be alright?” He asked taking the papers from the doctor. “I’m not sure we just have to take a couple more tests shouldn’t be long. Why don’t you get something to eat and drink maybe some fresh air?” he said whispering to the nurse then leaving the room. A gurgling sound rumbled in his stomach and his head began to throb, sometimes being human was a bitch, he placed his coat on the chair and leaned over Buffy kissing her on the forehead “ Be right back baby,” he whispered. The hospital was quieter than he expected with the apocalypse and all, he found the cafeteria ordering a coffee and buying to ham sandwiches, keeping one for Buffy for later. Grabbing a newspaper, he headed back to her room and positioned himself back in the chair waiting for his beloved to wake. He finished his sandwich and closed the newspaper he had been reading. He looked back to her pulling his chair closer to the bed and brushing the hair off her face tracing her perfect face with his finger tears began to fall heavily and he grabbed her hand entwining his fingers with hers placing his head on her stomach he fell fast asleep. She yawned and opened her eyes looking around at the unfamiliar room she panicked and noticed Angel sleeping in the chair beside her. A smile formed her lips and she giggled at his messed hair. He was so cute when he was sleeping; it seemed they were in a hospital but why, did they fight the bad, get the dagger she could not remember… it seemed that she could not remember much lately. She watched him squirm and opened her eyes and she smiled down at him. “Morning, sleepy head.” He smiled standing and kissing her gently on her dry lips. “Are you feeling better, would you like anything?” He asked worriedly pulling his hand away not wanting to hurt her. She smiled shaking her head and grabbing his arm pulling him onto the bed with her; he obliged and laid on his side draping his arm over her slim waist. The door to the room opened and the doctor came in a tray in hand.” Ah Ms Angel I presume.” He asked placing the food tray in front of her. She gave Angel a look and he shrugged and sat up quick helping her sit up straight. “Hi.” Doctor, did you do the tests is everything okay? Will she be okay?” Angel asked worriedly putting his arm over her shoulders. The doctor looked to the chart and went around the bed checking the IV in her arms and the blood flow in it. “It depends I guess on how you take it.” He said looking to the frightened couple. “What doctor! What is it?” Buffy asked looking to Angel who smiled slightly placing his hand in hers. “Well it seems that you…. You’re pregnant.” Both Angel and Buffy’s mouth dropped staring intensely at the doctor. “Pregnant.” Chapter 35 a (A New baby) “Pregnant.” They both said at the same time staring at the doctor confused. “How could this be?” Buffy said looking over at Angel who was completely shocked. Angel searched Buffy’s eyes seeing confusion and joy he grabbed her hand rubbing his thumb gently across the top of her hand. “How long.” The doctor smiled finishing his examination on her; he pulled out her file signing the bottom. “Maybe 3 months a little less.” Buffy averted her gaze trying to think about when she and Angel had had sex the first time. When she had come to LA, .It had only been a month and a half since the first was killed and Angel and her did not have sex until later. “Are you sure doctor.” she asked a frightened look on her face, Angel noticed watching her intensely. The doctor nodded placing her file back in its holder. “Yes Miss Summers is there something wrong?” Angel looked at her than to the doctor letting the doctor know it was okay the doctor left closing the door behind him. Looking back at his lover, he stood walking to the window. He lowered his head sighing loudly.” I guess from the look on your face…It isn’t mine,” he croaked. She could hear the disappointment and anger in his voice and tears filled her eyes. “ When I found out that you were in love with someone else I was torn in half my heart was shattered, Spike came and comforted me and…. We a….” “Please Buffy don’t say it.” He mumbled rubbing his forehead and pacing back and fourth clenching his fists trying to hold his rage in. They were silent for a long time both trying to absorb the info. Buffy stood and walked to the bathroom closing the door and crying heavily. What was going on, this couldn’t be happening she was pregnant and she was so happy but she couldn’t believe that it was not Angel’s that it was his worst enemies. , his childe. She could hear Angel in the other room growling intensely she wiped her tears looking into the mirror a loud crash was heard and she rushed into the room. Angel was holding his hand it was bleeding all over the floor and glass was shattered everywhere. Buffy covered her mouth watching him If Angelus was still inside of him he would of changed instantly he thought a roar escaped his lips turning to his mate he snapped the tray beside him jumping out of the window and into the night. Chapter 35 b "What was she doing? How could this be happening she fell to the bed sobbing loudly, the nurse walked in noticing the fragile girl she placed her hand on her rubbing her shoulder.. "Miss Summers I'm sorry to bother you but your tests results are back and there is something very odd about it." Buffy lifted her head looking up to the nurse she wiped her face sitting up as the nurse handed her some water. "What was is it? Is it my baby, is it hurt." Buffy asked frightened. Angel grew angry kicking the garbage can and sending it flying he sighed burying his hands in his face...This was not happening. "Oh no miss summers everything is okay really, ahhh it is just a little weird it seems the doctor was wrong about how far along you are." Hesitating for a minute, she grabbed Buffy's hand placing her hand in hers and sitting on the bed. "We uh did some extended tests since you seemed pretty uncertain of when you conceived and well we looked into it and well I'm sorry to say this it seems you conceived last week. But the baby it seems to have grown very abruptly ... like three months or so." Buffy gasped covering her mouth and a warm sensation came over her. It was not Spike's, but it was not Angel is either. Well rather… it was Angelus, Angelus and her conceived this baby. She felt her stomach and looked down, if it was already as big as three months it would be growing inside of her more rapidly then normal. Remembering his sacred vow, he grunted standing up and heading back to her room, the sun was coming up and they did not have much longer before he would be a demon, a vampire again. They needed to get the dagger and get back to LA, reaching her room, he could hear muffled voices and he stopped leaning closer to hear. “Are you sure?” The Nurse smiled a little getting off the bed and handing her a cup and two pills. “Yes, quite certain. Is this a good thing?” Angel walked in interrupting the two. The sky began to rumble and lighting flashed across the sky, Buffy felt an odd presence and she shrugged it off, looking toward her lover. He averted his gaze to the window, stopping at the foot of her bed he turned towards the nurse staring at her intensely. “When can she go?” He asked knowing she hated hospitals as much as he did. “She can stay tonight we just want to make sure everything is okay, but she should be able to go in the morning. The nurse said grabbing the tray and leaving the two lovers. They were silent for a long time both staring out the window, both wanting to speak but not wanting to stir anything up. “It’s not Spike’s.” She blurted out, turning on her side and closing her eyes. Angel looked at her shocked moving his chair in front of her. She groaned grabbing his hand and pulling him beside her. “I’m sorry for Spike not telling you we had been together after you left the last time I just… I was alone and angry.” Her eyes opened abruptly and tears started to form. “The nurse she said they did more test said it wasn’t what they have seen before.” She could here his breathe become paced and she turned caressing his face softly. He closed his eyes letting the warm feeling overcome him. She groaned moving closer kissing his cheek and brushing his hand through his hair. “She said I conceived last week, that for some reason the baby has grown bigger than they expected. His head shot up and his looked into her hazel eyes seeing the love and passion in them. He swallowed hard trying to speak but only air came out. “Angelus.” he stuttered. She closed her eyes nodding at his question. A feeling of relieve washed over him and he grinned. “So its mine… well you know.” He said brushing the hair from her eyes, a little smile formed her lips and she moved closer cuddling to him. “I’m sorry for letting myself fall for him, I just. It was you all I could think about was you.” He wondered if that was true or if there was more she was not telling him, he pushed it aside rubbing her back ever so gently. Fear filled her eyes and she watched him closely, looking for any emotions or anything to show he did not want it or her for that matter. He noticed realizing that she was feeling insecure he dipped down kissing her lips softly, “I love you Buffy no matter what. Even though it was Angelus, you had conceived the baby with it is mine. ...Ours.” She shivered and pulled the blankets closer to her laying her head on his chest and began to sob. “What if it’s nothing what we expected what if it is an evil demon or deformed or doesn’t make it.” She sobbed harder gasping in between breaths.” Shh love us will figure it out… I promise after we go get the dagger I will take you to an old friend maybe he can help us.” She looked up and he smiled trying not to make her worried he turned her over covering her with his arms and laying his head on her shoulder. “Sleep love, we will talk tomorrow.” His eyes closed and he breathed letting a huge sigh escape his lips. “Angel?” “Yes Beloved.” “Will we be alright?” She entwined her fingers with his rubbing her thumb along the top of his hand He did not answer just pulled her closer closing his eyes he fell fast asleep. ****************************************************************************** “Who was that?” Conner asked as Ariel grabbed his hand, there was a bright light, and a loud rumble sending them flying through the air they hit the ground hard. Conner stood rubbing his sore arm he grabbed Ariel helping her up of the cold wet ground. He scanned the air falling on fields and fields of green. “Where are we?” She coughed brushing herself off and picking up her bag that had fallen. “We are in Ireland, and we need to find your father and Buffy we need to stop them before it starts to unfold.” her voice crackling. Still not really knowing everything he wondered if he should turn back go try and find Cordy, he knew there was something peculiar about her and something she was not telling him, but what was it, he did not know. Helping her with the bag, he followed her through the dark forest. Chapter 35 C *Conner* I am having memories that I cannot account for, feelings for her when I don’t even know her, she is so beautiful her red hair shines in the moonlight her skin so soft and tanned, her breath smells sweet and a scent comes off of her that intoxicates me. It is a mix of musk and flowers, an odd combination but I like it, she smiles at me and my heart begins to flutter. Cordelia made me feel this excessively once before my father had erased my memory. God, how I miss Cordy, I could smell her hazelnut and coco hand cream and my mouth begins to water. There she is doing it again looking at me with those eyes so lovingly and I wonder why, there is something that she knows that I do not and I will find out. Her green eyes glisten in the moonlight and I feel drawn to her it seems my body is pulled to hers. “Conner, Are you alright?” she whispers softly and I snap out of my fantasy. “Yes, I was just thinking, should we find someplace to stay?” She nods and turns the last corner in the forest and I find myself gawking at the beautiful sight, a little cottage is a head and the flowers are in full bloom I can’t really see them since it is dark but the smell overcomes me. The moon is shining above us and it begins to rain softly, I follow her to the cottage and inside, the place is old and musky but it will have to do. I notice a fireplace and wood and I head to it lighting us a fire. ****************************************************************************** Buffy awoke in a slumber and looked at Angel who was purring in his sleep, smiling she traced her finger over his face, leaning over she kissed him on the lips. *Buffy* Crawling out of his embrace and out of bed I stumble to the bathroom and turn on the lights, they blind me and my eyes burn, rubbing them gently I turn on the water splashing cold water on my face. I stare into the mirror I don’t know who the girl is in the mirror; things were happening that were out of my control anybody’s control for that matter and it frightens me. I am pregnant with a demon’s baby Angelus the scourge of Europe the evilest, the strongest of vampires my sworn enemy. God, how Angel must be feeling, hurt, disgusted, torn apart, at least it isn’t Spike’s that would of killed him. I turn off the tap and head out grabbing my jacket I leave my room the hospital is quite and I notice a phone I rush to it dialling Willow’s cell phone. It had been ten minutes and still no one picked up I hang up. My stomach growls loudly and I notice the cafeteria. I find a sandwich it seems edible and I grab a juice finding a seat by the back. Angel’s diary is still in my jacket and I open it turning to were I had left off. January 1999 “ I seen her again it had been almost three months since we had seen each other since that day, the forgotten day, I wish I could tell her, but I can’t. she had come to LA to get Faith who had come out of her coma she seen me comforting her and she grew angry god she was angry and so damn beautiful, she punched me and I hit her back. I am so sorry Buffy I did not mean to I was just angry and hurt she told me she is in love with someone else and I swear she enjoyed watching my pain. I yelled at her and told her to go, she did, and I am sorry. I never meant for her to hate me never meant for her to cry, I love her so much and it kills me inside, I know it shouldn’t bother me that she’s found someone cause I told her to be happy to have a normal life. Never less its killing me to see her I just want to take her in my arms and go, go far away from here.” A sigh escaped her mouth and she turned the page this time he had drawn her at a beach she was looking at someone, she had seemed so happy. Hmmm wonder when this was. Turning the page she fell on a picture of them sitting by the tree on her mother’s funeral, she traced the page with her fingertips. “ Dear Beloved I wish I was there for you when your mother was sick, part of the reason I left was because of Joyce but she was your mother and she didn’t deserve to go so early in life. I came to see you and we didn’t talk much , you just asked me to hold you and I did till morning, I wish I could of stayed there forever but we both know I couldn’t, I left you that day and my life was turned upside down after that. “ “Cordelia was taken to some dimension and I went in to save her. It was a odd dimension humans were demons slaves but I could roam around in the sun and well I got to tell you it was great, She was made a queen and after fighting for our lives we saved a girl named Fred and was able to come back to LA . We were so happy to be back and I didn’t even feel Willow’s presence there and I should of, when she looked up at me, I knew what had happened that you were gone. I died that day with you, went to stay with monks they taught me how to deal with the pain, it seemed to ease a little but it will never go away.” Tears formed Buffy is as she focused on the next picture it was her. She looked so beautiful lying on his bed he was sitting across from her frozen tears on his face. UN wrapping the sandwich, she bit into it and savoured the yummy taste. A gasp was heard beside her and she looked up to Angel’s stone stare. “What?” She mumbled looking to him then to her sandwich. He rushed to her placing his hand on her stomach her gaze followed his and she chocked looking down at her stomach. “Oh my god Angel.” Buffy looked at her stomach again she had gained at least forty pounds he round belly stuck out of her shirt. Angel traced her belly looking up to her glistened eyes. “God Buffy, what’s happening?” he whispered not taking his eyes off her newly formed stomach. ****************************************************************************** “ A musk , a musk, trese, trese,” Willow’s eyes turned black and black veins formed on her checks a lighting bolt flew out of her fingers crashing Toply through the wall and into the other room. Turning to Xander she crept closer chanting softly,” break the chains and send us to safety” A loud clapping was heard and Willow’s head snapped up looking to the old watcher. “Well done witch, but it won’t be that easy.” Traveller came in and two men with cloaks followed him. “Take the boy to the dungeon, and take her to the white room.” He ordered and leaned against the wall. Snarling loudly Willow jumped trying to get out of their holds but the caught her mumbling some ancient language and taking her out of the room. Toply stood brushing his pants off, grabbing his arm he hissed in pain. “Boss I think she’s more dangerous then we expected.” Toply said taking two swigs of the whiskey on the table and wiping his mouth with his sleeve. “Traveller looked over at his employee nodding his head he grabbed the magic book Willow had found and headed for his chambers. Turning back to Toply, he threw him some keys. “Go get checked out, be back here soon we have work to do.” He snipped walking up the stairs and out of Topy’s sight. Obeying his boss he took the whiskey bottle and headed outside, he needed to get some painkillers for his arm and maybe another bottle of whiskey. The sky rumbled and lightning flashed, he stared passed the building the portal was coming closer and quickly, jumping in the car he sped to the hospital .Chapter 35 D Doyle entered through the gate to a glass stairway noticing something unusual by the outer realm he walked closer seeing a figured curled up in the corner. “Jacob what is it. Is something wrong? Doyle asked crouching down by the thirteen year old. “Ariel is gone. She skipped to their world.” He said looking up to Doyle and shivering slightly. Doyle’s eyes grew bigger and helped the boy up. “Where is your guardian” Placing his hand on the Jacob’s back he led them up the glass staircase to the upper lobby. “When Did she go?” Jacob shook his head as they entered the room, the room was huge made with all glass too, white stain couches and chairs. Noticing Whistler, Doyle headed to speak to his friend. ********************************************************************************************** Lilah and Fred headed to her apartment that was located two blocks from the Wolfman and Hart building. Fred walked two feet behind watching Lilah cautiously. Fear flashed through her eyes as she looked at the crumbling city the vortex was getting closer. “I’m surprised on how quickly this is unfolding and how the slayer is so easily manipulated,” she said looking back at Fred. “What do you mean?” A harsh laugh escaped Lilah’s lips as she unlocked the apartment door heading inside. “The Prophecy is about Buffy and Angel they are supposed to get the dagger and come home, bind their souls together.” She paused opening the black book on the table. Fred watched her in anticipation. “And.”. ********************************************************************************************** It was warming up and Ariel could smell the scent of the two champions they had been there not long ago. Conner finished making the fire, pulling off his jacket he scanned the room his nose curled up and he patted the sofa getting rid of the rest of the dust and taking a seat. Knowing Conner would be hungry Ariel left the house searching the garden she found what she need and headed back in the cottage. Conner found some magazines and flipped through them fidgeting in his spot he tried to get comfortable. Ariel finished with the platter spotting a half bottle of wine grabbing it and taking a seat beside Conner. They did not talk for a while both enjoying the silence and the food. “He is my guardian.” She blurted out getting rid of the silence. ********************************************************************************************** She is supposed to do some trials, kill a monster get the dagger and do the spell so they can be immortal, but it says the chosen and the champion must mate in the right form.” She handed Fred a glass of water scanning the room for the second book Fred watched in silence. “I don’t get it Right Form? Grabbing a pen and paper writing down what she needed she grabbed her keys turning off the lights. They headed out of the apartment down across the street towards an abandon parking lot. “Right form means Angel. Not Angelus, but seems to be happening means it was not Angel but Angelus. Lilah watched as Fred’s mouth dropped stopping in the middle of the lot Lilah dropped her things taking a spot on the ground. **************************************************************************************** Conner looked at her weirdly and a small smile formed her lips. “The guy who was trying to take me back, he is my guardian the one who takes care of me and watches over me when my parents are unreachable. Grabbing a glass of wine, she looked at it closely. “Is this stuff good?” She asked He shrugged sipping at his. “I guess. I thought you said your parents sent you here to help and protect with the prophecy.” He asked curiously. She averted her gaze her eyes falling on the old art and pictures.” No not really. I…I kind of heard them and saw where they placed the sword I gave you and well when they left urgently of the plain so did I with the help from a fellow witch.” groaning she stood and played with her hair twirling her fingers in it streams of tears fell down her face and she wiped them away, he watched her and sorrow filled his heart getting him up her pulled her embracing her in his strong arms. I walk with thee amongst the real world waiting to return I can smell their blood, fear and the sadness in their hearts they are starting to change its all starting to change, but, why am I still here I should be free. Free to walk this earth again. What is it that is forming?” ******************************************************************************************* “Casa, Casa. Mantel, corti bring fourth the gate and show yourselves.” The sky started to rumble and a light flashed. Lilah chanted loudly Fred watched finally closing her eyes she began to chant softly. A gush of wind passed through them and Fred opened her eyes they were not in the parking lot but a small white room. Seven figures entered the room. “Whistler. What happened, how did she leave.” Doyle asked pouring himself a drink. Whistler shook his head and sat in the nearest chair,” She must have travelled when the champions did.” Doyle turned watching Jacob stare out in to the plain.” She will mess this up things already have changed she has broken the scared realm.” Doyle snapped gritting his teeth and sitting beside the demon. “Shh Ariel its okay We will figure this out, I promise. Conner whispered softly. Shaking her head frantically, she pulled away a sob escaping her mouth. Conner watched her and moved in closer, she was so scared and so fragile she was damn beautiful though more beautiful now than before he leaned in placing his lips on hers softly and kissing her. She froze stumbling away from him. “Conner we can’t…” “We need to do something now to stop her.” “Her father will have our heads and so will the gods.” Whistler nodded in agreement towards his friend his eyes landing on Jacob. “What do you suppose we do?” He asked. Standing up Doyle gulped the last of his drink and straighten his jacket.” I’ll go and get her back here.” “ But what about them they asked us to take care and watch over her here going and getting her will be to dangerous. We are not supposed to interfere.” Whistler said pacing back and fourth a worried look falling upon his face. “I know but I have to. Jacob your uncle is leaving for a while but I will be back.” Walking over to the boy and hugging him, he turned to Whistler who nodded walking him out to the gate. “What shall I tell them…? Her parents.” Doyle winked and the gates opened turning back to his friend and waving he disappeared out of sight. Shaking his head Whistler watched as Doyle walked away. “Goodbye and good luck.” He whispered walking back inside moaning he took off his hat scratching his head roughly. “This isn’t good. Conner will be mad.” ************************************************ Chapter 36(In time you will see) Ariel stumbled backwards trying to get away from Conner’s touch. ”Conner there is something I need to tell you.” She said averting her gaze from his intense stare. ******************************************************************************* Are you sure, you are okay? Maybe we should go back. Get some rest.” Angel asked stopping at the dark dirt road. “No Angel. I am fine really. I just want to get this over with and go home.” Buffy said tracing her small hand over her oversized belly. Angel watched her anxiously. He wanted to just take her and go away from everything, but he knew they could not, knew that what they were doing was their destiny. He was curious though on what was happening with the new oversized baby forming in his mate’s stomach it was strangely odd just like the time Cordy had that demon baby. Chuckling at the memory Buffy looked at him anger in her eyes. “What? Am I that funny looking?” She snipped at Angel who was staring at her strangely. “No baby. God no I was just remembering when Cordy had a demon baby. It was kind of funny.” He laughed grabbing her petite hand and entwining his larger ones with hers. “Oh” It was colder than before and Buffy shivered pulling her jacket tighter, she was a little tense and he felt it, he knew she was angry with him bringing up Cordy but he knew she would get over it; there were more things that needed to be done and that were bothering her and him. ******************************************************************************* Spike, Dru and the five other vampires walked the long dirt road, which led them to the town. Sensing fear from his mate Spike pulled Dru closer covering her with his right arm. “What is it pet? What do you see? Is It Angel and the slayer?” Spike asked reaching in his pocket for a cigarette. “The stars there singing to me. What is it little star? What is it you see?” Dru whispered stepping out of Spikes embrace and twirling around. “Ooh, What? Daddy is happy and so is the slayer but why and how little ones. What is it that makes him happy?” Dru babbled shaking her head vigorously. ******************************************************************************* “Damn Ariel. Why did you have to do this? This was not suppose to happen. Conner will be angry, probably banish me to another realm.” Whistler said walking back into the fortress. “Is Ariel in trouble? Will Uncle ban her from the outer realms?” Jacob asked leaning against the front gate to the fortress. “Jacob honey. Go get ready for bed.” Glancing from Whistler to the stairs he watched as the women walked down the stairs. She was beautiful and she was wearing all white, her blonde hair glistened around her. “But its not late .I am not tired.” Jacob whined rolling his eyes and stomping his feet loudly. The witch smiled and hugged him brushing her hand through his brown hair. “Jacob please, I will come tuck you in and bring you some coco. I need to talk to Whistler alone.” Jacob’s eyes flickered with anger and he stomped loudly up the stairs to his corridor. “Goodnight Whistler and Aunt Tara.” He huffed exiting the room. Tara motioned for Whistler to follow and they headed down the long corridor to the last door, the room was gigantic with seats all around at least 150 positioned in a circle, Tara headed to the front standing by the podium Whistler joining her. Many people were there whispering amongst themselves. ******************************************************************************* The sky was covered with many stars and the moon was full shining brightly in the sky making it easier for them to see. It was so beautiful there and Buffy wanted to stay and never come back maybe they could move there one day. There was still so much of Angel’s past that she didn’t know and things she wanted to see. A sigh escaped her lips. Angel glanced to the tiny slayer noticing her blank expression. He wished that he could make things better, take it all away the pain, and anguish the unbearable sorrow that fulfilled their hearts. He hated himself for letting Angelus out and for Buffy being caught in the web he had spun; on the other hand, he was overwhelmed with joy that Angelus and Buffy had conceived the new baby forming in her stomach. He knew he should hate everything Angelus has done but this he did not part of him knew that there would be consequences and he didn’t care he was just happy that they were together with a new member joining their lives .Buffy watched Angel curiously taking a seat on a log that was on the side of the road. She wondered what he was thinking about, and why the silence always bothered her more than she could handle. She reached in her pocket for elastic. “Baby are you okay?” She asked pulling her blonde hair into a ponytail, Angel realized she had stopped and turned gazing down at her. “What?” ******************************************************************************* “What’s going on? Where the hell are we?” “Please everyone calm down I will try explaining.” Tara shouted over the loud screaming over the three new members that entered. “Tara? What the… Jenny smiled entering the room and grabbing the watchers hand.” Please Giles, we can explain.” She said pulling him to a seat at the front of the room. Giles, Gunn and Wes looked around the room confused on where they were and what had happened to being at Wolfman and Hart. ******************************************************************************* “The stars they are aligning and I can feel Angel he’s distraught and daddy wants out to play.” Dru mumbled smiling slightly at Spike and grabbing him and spinning them around the huge cornfield. Dru’s smile widen at the daffodil’s. “Ooh my favourite she giggled dancing around happily. “He’s coming… Coming… yes, soon we will be a family again.” The vampires watched in amusement at their sire and followed the two older vampires to the new home they would be taking residence in for a while. Chapter 36b ( In time you will see) Angel stared down at his beloved wondering what she was doing. ” What?” He asked curiously. She shook her head standing and hugging him tightly. “Are you alright?” She asked again reaching up and cupping his cheek. “Uh Yes Sorry I was just thinking.” He said noticing the fear in her eyes he gave her a reasuring smile and cradled her tighter in his embrace.” Come baby. We need to go.” She nodded but hesitated not wanting to let go. They walked in more in silence following the path back to the Lost Souls cave. Shaking slightly Buffy watched Angel in anticipation. “I’m scared Angel?” She whispered engulfing his hand with hers. “I know baby. Me too.” They finally reached the cave and Buffy became dizzy clasping to the wall. ********************************************************************************************** Doyle entered the Wolfman Hart building. He sniffed around trying to follow Ariel’s scent realizing she was gone and had not been there in a while, he left the torn building and shook his head wondering why Angel would ever associate himself with them. Turning down the dark alley, he headed to Conner’s apartment that was located in the middle of town. The town was almost gone. The building, Trees everything was rubble, some people were screaming and running from the city while others were probably already gone or dead. Sighing he walked down the stairway to the boy’s home. ********************************************************************************************** “Were here!” Buffy exclaimed stopping in front of the door.” Are you ready?” She asked looking up to her lover and rubbing her tummy. She could sense something strange. Her head began throbbing. Her legs became Jell-O and the smell of rotting flesh and garbage entered her senses again, growing nauseas she slid down the wall sitting on the ground. “Do you need a drink?” Angel asked. She nodded and he reached in her bag pulling out the bottle water he had brought with them. He watched her worriedly. Her face was red and sweat began to pour off her, placing his sleeve on her forehead he wiped it off gently. “Angel something’s not right here.” ********************************************************************************************** “Manti. We need to help. She’s getting weaker; soon she wont be able to go on.” the sister replied as they watched the slayer and the vampire. “We can’t. You know that. It’s up to them now.” Swaying his hand over the scene Willow, Fred and Conner appeared in their view.” It is up to them now. Let us just hope they have it in them to save the champions. ********************************************************************************************** Angel pulled Buffy up and sat down cradling her in his strong arms she sighed leaning her head in the croak of his neck. “Shh baby. Rest, try and feel better.” He murmured rubbing his right hand over her head. They fell fast asleep…………….. Angel’s eyes fluttered open as he felt the hot sun on his face looking around he noticed he was not at the cave any more but at some beach. Where was Buffy? Standing up quickly he glanced seeing a little girl seeing on a bench by the ocean he headed to it sitting beside her. She noticed him and a half smile formed her lips and a tear fell from her eyes. “It used to always be this beautiful, but, not anymore since it…came.” She whispered gazing down at her feet. Angel watched her and wiped the sweat that formed on his forehead. “I’m Ariel.” She whispered finally looking into the vampires eyes. “Hi Ariel. I am… “Angel I know that’s why you’re here.” She stood reaching for his hand waiting for him to accept it. He did taking her small hand in his, she guided him down the long narrow beach. “She’s becoming weak, does not have much strength left. The dagger is in the fifth tunnel behind a hidden door. A latch is needed to open it, seems you need to find it somewhere in one of the tunnels. Watch for all the demons they are stronger than normal. Angel listened carefully to the little girl, there was an odd sensation that she gave him. He shrugged it off trying to ignore the multiple sensations.” Someone’s there to try to stop you besides the creatures. Be careful what you say. You will see things in the cave that are not real, hallucinations. Oh and beware of the beholder.” Letting go of his hand she started to disappear. “Wait. How are we supposed to kill the creature?” Angel yelled watching the little girl fade. “No. there is no way to kill it. You can suspend it. You need to find the beholder. Remember things are not what they seem.” “Hey. Who is the beholder, please don’t go.” He yelled rushing towards her. She smiled tears forming her blue eyes. “Goodbye Angel. Good luck. I will be seeing you soon. She was gone………………… Angel awoke in a panic almost making Buffy fall out of his lap. Who was this beholder? Why did this girl seem so familiar? “Angel” Buffy moaned wiggling underneath him; she peered into his dark orbs seeing fear, confusion. “Hey baby.” He said kissing her forehead. She smiled a little and got up giving him her hand. Her face seemed paler but she seemed better. She glanced at her watch moaning loudly. “We don’t have much time. We should go.” She exclaimed. “Grabbing her hand he nodded and led her into the black cave.A rumble ruptured shaking the cave and Angel glanced to his tiny slayer making sure she was all right. “Yes. Come fourth. Your blood smells so sweet. Come further my chosen ones.” Buffy stiffened and scanned the territory sensing more than one creature she held on to Angel’s arm. She did not know what lies ahead and what the trials would conceive of. Closing her eyes, she took a breath following Angel through the second entrance. A crackling sound and rushing water echoed through the cave and she shivered moving closer to her mate. He could sense that she was frightened and he wished there was another way, something that did not involve this, especially since she was pregnant. He remembered Ariel’s directions. The fifth tunnel and the hidden door he led Buffy through the first tunnel. “Come further, ahhh yes….I can taste your blood…mmmmmm so sweet.” They turned through the third tunnel and Buffy felt an odd sensation the trickled down her spine the door they had stopped in front of was pulling her inside. Hesitating she grabbed the knob and entered inside. For some reason the room had shifted changing scenes. It was now a large room filled with flowers and a bed and blue satin curtains and sheets. Buffy glanced to Angel who two had an odd expression on his face. There was a fireplace across the room, it turned on, and two figures entered the room. “Isn’t he adorable?” Buffy 2 chirped glancing down at the tiny baby. Angel 2 nodded happily kissing her then the boy.’ “This could be you” The voice spoke startling Buffy and Angel. They watched the couple in front of them happiness filling their hearts but thats for you to decided.... It laughed wickedly. ******************************* Chapter 36c(In time you will see) (Buffy 2 sat down staring intensely ay Angel 2.) “Angel! You do not understand how much this means to me. How much I love you…You are the best thing that ever came into my life…Cupping his cheek she leaned down kissing him softly. “Thank you for everything.” She stopped gazing lovingly down at the little boy in her arms. Angel watched happily at his beloved holding their child. He also looked happy he thought glancing at his other self. They had a boy….. The scene unravelled in front of them changing to the two off them making love in the bed. They were motionless both not wanting to move both mesmerized by the site in front of them. Angel had moved over to Buffy wrapping his arm around her as they watched in awe at themselves making love. Angel felt satisfaction as he watched the love in her eyes and it felt like he was in heaven. Buffy watched and smiled at how Angel looked and her eyes grew big, joy filling her heart. Placing his hand on her belly, he kissed her lips. “Baby we have a boy. Our baby boy.” he purred. Sending a vibration on her lips; making her quiver slightly. She searched his eyes, she never seen this in Angel before he had so must love and trust in his eyes and her heart fluttered. “ “He’s ours Buffy.” His whisper echoed through the room sending a shiver through her. Buffy sighed grasping for more of him pulling him closer, feeling every inch of him. Angel’s eyes closed and shot open instantly, he gasped for air clutching his chest. Buffy noticed “Angel!” He looked up at her one more time closing his eyes. He could feel it coming… “Awww, Fuck!” He roared falling to the cave floor. Buffy’s head began to spin and so did the room. She tried to scream, a croak escaped her mouth, running fast she fell to the floor pulling him into her lap. “Oh Angel, God! Please wake up, Angel! Please, I love you.” She sobbed laying her forehead to his rocking them back and fourth. “Yes…Come here my sweet.” It mocked echoing through the walls” The door slammed open and four zombies came in. They started to attack Buffy, she jumped up spin kicking and slamming the zombie in to the wall rushing for a weapon she pulled out a small knife. Wishing it was a better weapon she shrugged cutting the first zombies head off. The other one came from behind, clawing at her she grabbed that one flipping it over her shoulder and stabbing it in the chest a few times and killing it. The Third and Fourth one caught Buffy off guard, knocking her down and surrounding her, she winced at the pain and glanced at her belly slightly rubbing it making sure she was okay .She tried to break free from their grasp. The Vampire stirred shaking the pain off and standing up he sensed his mate and scanned the room. Noticing his prey, he transformed and stalked towards her. Grapping the one Zombie and snapping its neck He growled snarling at the other. They fought for a while. Angel swept the zombie off its feet and it moaned. Kicking it more than once the Zombie came back up attacking Angel. He grinned knowing that he could out beat this zombie, laughing Angel gave the last blow his hand crushed through the zombies flesh decapitating it. Scanning the room once more heading back to his slayer, he knelt down checking her over. “What the Fuck!” He growled glancing down at Buffy’s stomach . Buffy’s eyes widened and covered her mouth. He smiled grinning wickedly and capturing her in a kiss. “Oh No!” She whispered. Laughing and snickering echoed through the Cave and Angelus took Buffy’s hand helping her up. “Care to fill me in.” He snickered pulling her out of the room and down the small tunnel. “You don’t remember.” She questioned walking awkwardly behind him. ********************************************************************************************** Spike sensed her and he grew hot, his body hummed for hers, his mouth watered for her blood. Her body. Heading towards the cave he knew one thing Buffy probably whished he did not. The ritual and he was definitely going to change that. She will walk the earth with him. ********************************************************************************************** A fireball‘s shot through her fingers and her rage became more untameable, she roared chanting loudly. “ Abiska, Sierra, Godalth. Abiska, Sierra, Godalth. Her eyes turned completely black and her voice growing deeper. She shot one more fireball finally blasting the wall down. “ Told them not to mess with me. Stupid watchers,” grinning wickedly Willow walked through the burning walls heading to find Xander. TBC Feedback Should I continue??? Leanne ********************************** Chapter 36 d “The last thing I remember is you asking me to drink you.” He purred inching closer to her. She stiffened pulling away from him. He grinned wickedly and stopped lowering his eyes to her stomach. “When did this happen? Whose is it?” A low growl escaping his lips. She swallowed and reached in her pocket making sure she still had the knife on her. She was extremely nervous. Her and Angelus had been getting along. She knew he was softening to her, but he still was unpredictable. She clasped her hands over the knife. Anger arose in him. Why the fuck, was Buffy Pregnant? Who was the father? Thinking of his childe he growled, his eyes turning yellow. Disgust and rage, jealousy. Death! Filled his thoughts and he vamped glancing to Buffy. “Tell me it’s not my childe's. Spike!” He roared shaking the inner walls glaring at her fragile form. Buffy began to tremble and he pulled her in his embrace digging his nails in her flesh.” You’re pregnant with Spike’s child” The demon pushed her away slamming his fists through the cave wall. Buffy wondered why he did not hurt her. She noticed he was trying to figure it out too by the look on his face. Buffy tried to stay calm not letting Angelus take over. She placed her hand on his shoulder. “Angelus.” She croaked. A scuffling noise was heard; two vampires entered snarling at the couple. “Slayer, Glad you can make it.” Buffy stiffened and Angelus changed form swooping in besides her, baring his fangs to the others. “Wow! Angelus. I’m surprised.” Angelus snarled.” Lindsay.” creeping closer towards Angelus a second surrounded him. Then disappearing again. ” Now I can at least have some fun, before I kill you.” his eyes turned yellow and he grabbed Lindsay by the throat, He bared his fangs. Saliva dripped as he snarled at the newly turned vampire. “Lindsay. This time I won’t hesitate to kill you.” Lindsay laughed giving Angelus an upper cut, then kicking him hard sending across the room slamming into the wall. Buffy stood still. She did not know this vampire but it seemed Angel did. She placed herself in a fighting position, her hands clasped to fists waiting for the vampire to attack. He smiled at her checking her out, “You look tasty. No wonder Angelus wants you.” He said licking his lips. He reached for her but she was quicker twisting his arm and kicking him in the chest amazingly ripping his arm from his body. Lindsay screamed landing to the ground. “Stupid Bitch.” Getting up and charging her, he punched her in the jaw hard sending her flying through the air. Buffy smiled slightly as she kicked her self in a flip landing feet first on the floor.Angelus stood shaking off his headache and grabbing the vampire from behind him kicking him several times. His eyes fell on the slayers form, as she stood frozen in her slayer ' I am ready to kick your ass look', he grinned and she nodded letting him know she was okay. He grabbed Lindsay crushing him to the wall, inching closer. “Touch her again and I will not only kill you but torture you.” Lindsay laughed worriedly shifting in the older vampires hold. Angelus reached in his duster grabbing the stake and stabbing him, purposely missing the spot inches from his heart. Lindsay’s eyes grew big glancing down at the stake in his chest. “Tell your boss he’s dead.” Angelus growled grabbing Buffy’s hand and turning down the next tunnel. "Geez" Buffy muttered looking at the new dead end in front of them. “Are you alright.” He asked hostility in his tone. She nodded not meeting his wanting gaze. He was furious she was having Spike’s child , god the thought made his blood boil. He imagined taking her as his mate right there, drinking her sweet liquid and making her his forever...for eternity. A grumble escaped his throat and she jumped nervously. Shifting uncomfortably, she glanced away brushing past him and opening the door that appeared out of nowhere. ********************************************************************************************** Spike, Dru and the others entered the cave. “Split up. Leave the slayer for me. Kill Angelus.” He ordered glancing at the vampires. Dru scowled at Spike and shook her head. “Leave them both. Just find them. Go!” Spike looked at away and she growled walking past him down the first tunnel. ********************************************************************************************** Opening the door and glancing once more to Buffy he headed inside the room sniffing around, not getting anything he reached pulling Buffy inside with him. She smiled at his warm gesture, maybe he could be kind and caring ,a loving demon, not the vicious killer. The room looked sort of like the Sunnydale library. There was a table in the middle and many doors and stairs off to the side. Quirking an eyebrow at Angelus she strolled over to the table looking at the scenery. “For being a cave it has some pretty weird rooms and scenery.” Angelus nodded in agreement and stopped in front of a computer that was on the table.” Maybe it is a hallucination.” He muttered scanning over the contents. Buffy shrugged looking through the books and around the room trying to locate anything odd. “That’s it!” He shouted and Buffy turned looking at him weirdly. “I remember. It is a hallucination. The little girl said to watch out for them.” “What?” “Well outside before when we fell asleep. Angel he dreamt of a little girl. She told him to watch out for things that were not real. “Do you mean what we are seeing isn’t real? I can feel things. “Buffy asked confused, picking up a book from the table. “Yes… No. She said some things would not be what they seem and something about the beholder. What was Ariel talking about?” He said remembering the girl’s name. ” Ariel! He dreamt of a little girl named Ariel. So did I. Right before you were released the first time.” They stood there for minutes letting all the information settles in their minds. What was going on? Who was this Ariel? Why was she only showing herself in dreams….and right before Angelus? Buffy wondered glancing back up to Angelus who seemed preoccupied on the first set of stairs on the left. Standing beside him the door seemed to pull her to it she was mesmerized by what was inside, Angelus too seemed curious of what was in the room up the stairs. Snapping back into reality she grabbed a chair picking it up and smashing it to the ground making Angelus stiffen and gaze at her. “Do you remember anything else?” She asked picking up a leg and sharpening it. He shook his head taking the wood from her hand and sharpening it for her. Buffy smiled and grabbed her bag making sure she had everything she needed. Angelus finished and pulled the bag from Buffy’s hand flipping it over his shoulder. Wait, what was he doing? She is the slayer, your enemy. I am a vicious killer not a fucking human I do not have feelings he roared in his head his eyes growing darker. He glanced at her stomach growling softly making her stiffen under his grasp. Buffy watched Angelus and she two did not know what was happening or why he seemed to soften to her. He was becoming more like Angel. She was worried though and she really did not know if he had some other thing or things in mind and she shivered at the thought. Picturing herself as a vampire for a second, she swallowed hard. She knew he would protect his childe, but what would he do to her. She moved in closer to him and grabbed his large hand pulling him up the staircase. They reached the top and there was one single door in the middle a light glowing around it. “It’s ours Angelus.” She stuttered and he stopped turning her into his grasp, looking at her wearily.” What?” He asked. “Ummm…ahhh. I’m pregnant with our baby.” Taking a breath, she grabbed his hand placing it on her stomach. “Not Spike or Angel’s. Ours,” She muttered shifting her gaze to the floor. Angelus purred crushing her body against hers and raising her chin. “Really?” she nodded and he grabbed her kissing her fiercely a grumbling sound forming through his stomach. Biting on her lip gently, she opened her mouth letting him taste her. Buffy moaned unintentionally and parted her lips wider teasing his tongue with hers. A mumble escaped his lips and she swore she heard. I love you. A loud crash and whispering echoed through the room. Loud snickering surrounded the two and a hole formed underneath them. “Yes, you’re here. Yes... come fourth.” It growled. The room shook and Buffy screamed letting go of his hand and falling to the black pit that had formed. “ Buffffffy.” Angelus roared running and jumping behind her. *******************************************
