Part Seven
I looked at everybody in the library. "So, Angel, are we going hunting?" Stone said. I look at him. He ready to destroy this man to free himself from devil's clutches. To live again. To feel again. I nodded. I want same thing. I turn to leave. "Wait, we still have no answer. What is going on?" Buffy asked.
"I wait outside." Stone said. I look at her. I want to tell her. I want to tell her so badly. This is personal. Very personal. "No, Buffy, this is personal. What we are doing not for your eyes!" I
said.
"Oh..That's rich, Angel. Because someone from your past want you dead. Well, I can't handle that. I not going to sit around waiting for them to kill you." Buffy said angrily. I turn my back from her and began to walk toward the door.
"If YOU LEAVE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE." Buffy shouted. I stop for a moment. It is for the best. Even, if might hurt her. I walk out of the library. Stone was waiting for me outside. "She cares for you, Angel. You should have let her come." Stone said.
"No. So, let begin the hunt." I said. Stone just sighed.
Part Eight
The two men walk quietly through the park. Neither knew what to say. "You are wrong, Angel You have no right to push her away. She is her own person. I know you don't want her to get hurt. But from what I hear, she can handle herself really well." Stone said. "I know. But this my business. I don't want her
involve in it." I said softly. "May I ask a question?" Stone said. "I guess." I said. "Why does Armos hate you so much?" Stone said.
I sighed. "After regain my soul, I wander. I came across a small village in China. They knew I was vampire. Yet, they didn't harm me. A sensi, Yui-Si, took me under his wing. To teach me the way of the warrior and to heal my broken soul. Armos was his favorite until I came. Over time, I become part of their village and my soul began to heal. Armos was fury how well I was fighting. How the teacher was treated me. His jealous of me become out of control. One night, he killed a young woman and left her in my bed. He try to put the murder on me. He made a mistake. I went on journey with Yui-Si and did not return for many weeks. By the time, I have return the body was rot to its core. And village have found her killer. Armos was standing in from of the well. Waiting for his death. Yui-Si told the village to let him go and make sure he never came back. The last thing he said was 'You watch this village burn to the ground.' I guess I did." I said.
"I am sorry." Stone said quietly. They have reached the graveyard. They found a dead body twist along the gate. A sword in his chest with a note attached. It said::
YOU KILL ME BY THE SWORD YOUR FRIENDS WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY MEET ME BY THE OLD STONE-CUTTER FACTORY AT MIDNIGHT. BRING YOUR
SWORD ARMOS
"He has them." I said.
Part Nine
I and Stone walk into the warehouse. We knew it was trap. The warehouse was barren and dark. "Look for something, Angel." Armos said. He was standing on a platform. He click some switch. It reveal Buffy, Xander, and Willow in a cage and Giles hang from the ceil. "What do you want?" Angel asked. "I
want you. Dead." Armos grinned. "I am already dead." I said. "We fight until one of us dies." Armos said. "Done." I said. "Wait, Angel." Stone said. "The only way you can kill him. If you shot him in the eyes." Stone said. "Thank you, my friend. If I fail kill him." I said. Stone nodded. From my coat, I drew a long sword. Similar to one, I nearly destory the world. "Dance with me, death. For I am ready." I said softy as got in my defense stand. Armos jump from the platform. He drew a goldren sword. "Yesssss, I will finally win." Armos said. Armos attack first with a sharp thrust. Angel easily counter. Every move was counte. The clash of swords woke up Buffy and the gang. Their eyes wide with fear of their friend's fate. The battle last for many hours. "The sun is about to rise. I will win." Armos said. "No, you will not." Angel said. Angel thrust his sword into Armos's heart.
He drew to two stake from his coat and ram them into Armo's eyes. A vortex wrap around Armos. and swallow into hell. "You have lose." Angel said as he
walk out of warehouse.
Part Ten
Dear Journal
It has been a week since I kill Armos. I don't know if I suppose to feel better. I don't. I have that bitter feel in my heart. To add to all those others. Looking back.
I don't regret what I did. But I will never forget it.
Angel
~Sunnydale's Bus Station~
Angel and I stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus. "You did the right thing." I said to break the silent. "I know. But doesn't get any better." Angel said. "But we live with it." I said. "We have been to hell and back. We had our spirits beat by the devil himself. Yet we keep fighting." Angel said. "Yup. That one thing we can do." I said. A bus pull up in front of the station. "Good luck, Angel. Don't give up and don't get down." I said. "Good luck, my friend. I hope you win. Come back when you become mortal. And don't let the devil beat you." Angel said. "I won't." I said with a grin. I got on the bus. The bus pull away from the corner and left. Few minutes later, I pass a sign saying LEAVING SUNNYDALE.
The End
