I own nothing from Btvs or Angel. I do own my characters.

The Dead Talk by S.A.L.

Prologue

Into My World.

New York City, present day.

This is where I was told to find her. The New Watchers Council has decided they want her story, she is not that well known, some say she has not yet been noticed or they say she feels guilt for killing so she has no record. That is why I am here standing outside this door to find out what is real and what is myth. She knows that I am coming to interview her she was contacted by the Council a few weeks ago, she probably knows I am standing outside right now. They want to know her, they want to know more of her relationship with her sire…Angelus.

You would think that they had enough on the vampire Angelus or Angel, whatever he is calling himself these days, but alas no they need more about who he was before he had a soul. They think she will be able to tell them what they don't already know. She is also something they are very interested in, she doesn't kill; well humans anyway, she doesn't have a soul but she cant bring herself to hurt a human. So far all we know about her is she was sired by Angelus, and wont kill humans, but we do know she is soulless.

I'm not sure weither I should knock or ring the bell, I'm not sure I should be here, she could be dangerous. The Council assured me I would be safe, but no matter if she feels remorse she is still a vampire. Okay here I go.

I reach up with a closed fist to knock, then at the last minute I decide to ring the bell. I have my cross in hand incase, you know…okay I'm scared alright. I hear foot steps coming toward the door, my heart is beating so fast I believe it will beat out of my chest.

I hear the door being unlocked, its opening. The door opens and standing in the doorway is one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen. She looks very young no older than eight-teen, fair olive skin with long brown hair almost to the bottom of her back. She is wearing dark blue jeans and a blue button blouse, I look to her face and see the darkest brown eyes, almost black, I have ever seen shine back at me. I'm no longer afraid, she is breathtaking, and I don't feel nervous while I'm standing here. She looks at me and speaks:

"Hello, can I help you?" she says looking at me with those eyes of pain.

I cant speak for a moment but then I answer back " Hello my name is Bryant Lamben from the Watchers Council, I'm here to interview a Miss Willamina Lowel is she home?" I knew it was her, but I must be polite.

"Yes hello, I am she but you can call me Mina." she said as she gestured me to come inside.

I followed her down the hall to a sitting area, I took a seat on the chair across from where she had sat. As I was unpacking my materials, an older lady walked into the room and asked if there was anything that I needed. I told her I was fine.

" So where would you like me to start, Mr. Lamben?"

"Oh well we can start at the beginning, maybe right before you were turned, and you can call me Bryant if you like."

"The Council had mentoned they would like know about me and my relationship to Angelus, is that right?"

"Yes, they feel you know more than most and would like it if you could tell us your

opinions of him before the soul."

" Okay well I'll start at the day before I met Angelus. One question before we begin, you are not squeamish are you?"

"No Miss."

"Good, here we go"

"My parents had just died and I was living with my cousins in Northern England, the year was 1875 I had just turned seventeen. My cousin Emily and her husband Johnathan Miles owned a five bedroom Inn on the coast of England….
