"Oh Angel your back, that didnt take long"
"No, time moves differently there, so I was in and out in a minute, litterally"
"Did you find out what it was Angel?"
"Yes little one I did, now get comfy and take a deep breath, this is confuseing"
He told her everything they had told him and then waited for her reactions.
She couldnt beleive it, she was immortal, as in never gonna die, not unless she got vamped by someone, and Angel was her life mate, soul mate. She`d already known he was the one for her, but this kinda made it official.
"Im immortal?"
"Yes little one, are you angry?"
"Angry, why would I be angry?"
"Because, your going to live forever, with me, I thought maybe you.."
"Angel, I cant think of anything Id want more, eternity with you will be heaven, Its just going to take a little getting used to thats all"
"Remeber what the Oracles said though, be careful, your a great prize, an immortal witch would fetch a pretty price on the black plaines"
"I know, but I`ll be careful, plus what demon is going to try and piss off an immortal Angelus"
"Well when you put it that way, I spose your pretty much covered"
Willow and Angel spent the remainder of the day researching the vampire from the sixteenth century and there present condition. It turned out that they werent the only Human-Vampire couple to have found life mates, they were the third, the first died in the early nineteenth century after an attack from another group of vampires. The second were still alive and well and living in Greece and the vampire and vampire couple died about eighty years ago in a take over for master of a town in England. They could call on each others strengths at will, so Willow could use Angels speed and stealth and Angelus was hers to comand. Angel could walk in the sun, use her magicks if he saw fit and maybe, just maybe he would end up with a heart beat. And together they could communicate with out speech. There bond had to be nurtured and molded, but even now in the early stages they could sense each other like sire and childe, and it turned out that Willow now had a special bond with Angels childre, so Spike and Dru were also affected.
(Spike, Dru goddess Buffy)
They knew they had to tell the others, Doyle and Delia had taken it really well. Delia had gloated and said
"I knew you two were meant to be together"
and Doyle had said
"Well done man, but you do know this is paramount to being married, so take a little advice-Agree with everything they say, flowers and chocolates when there pissed at ya, and be nice or you wont be gettin any for a month"
Angel had chuckled at that, and Willow and Delia had both smacked him upside the head at the same time earning themselves a "HEY!" and a pout for thier troubles, which they dutifully ignored.
Willow wasnt sure how the others would take it, but they needed to be told, plus if the bond worked both ways, both Dru and Spike would have this nagging tickley sensation in the back of there brains that someone was watching them. She hoped they were okay with it, they had all been happy for her and Angel but what if they had problems with it, well they`d just have to deal like she was.
They had eventually fallen into bed exhausted from the last few days events. Sleep came quickly and when they woke they felt refreshed and renewed.
"Sweetheart?"
"Yeah Angel"
"We need to call Giles and the others, and I think we should call Spike ourselves"
"I think so too, but do you mind if you handle Giles, I have an idea to try out for telling Spike"
He quirked an eyebrow at her and she hastened to explain
"He`s difficult at the best of times, I dont know how he`s gonna deal with this and I think subtle aint the way with him, he likes me and he knows we`re happy, but he doesnt trust you, and who can blame him I mean, you havent exactly had the best relationship the last century or so."
"What do you have in mind?"
"Well you and I can communicate in our sleep, I want to see if I can with him, I have a feeling he`ll be up here in no time, plus Ive missed him, he and I were friends before I left"
"Okay, but he goes all Dru like on us its your fault" he said through snickers.
