Chapter 1
He'd been doing battle with the demon all night. He was tired and hungry and wanted to go home. Just as he killed the demon he turned towards his friends Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn, they seemed tired as well. They all jumped into his car and decided to go back to the hotel he called home. He hoped Fred was doing all right. He was driving thinking about the girl Fred that they had rescued from Pylea when he got the feeling he was being watched. He couldn't shake the feeling just then he turned to the right and thought he saw a shadow looming there. He was getting paranoid just the other day he had the same feeling and had gone searching for the person. The others had complained that he was paranoid and was losing it. Nobody in their right mind would be stalking him. But he just couldn't let go it he was sure he was being followed but by who and why?
It had been days and Angel still felt that someone was watching his every move but they never got close enough for him to detect them but he knew there was someone watching.
"Angel your been paranoid nobody is stalking you." said Cordelia
"You now Angel it would be foolish for a person to be stalking a vampire knowing perfectly well that you could kill them." said Wesley
"I understand what your trying to tell me but I can't shake the feeling that someone is." said Angel
"Angel you still think you been watched?" asked Gunn who had just walked in.
" I know it's strange for me a vampire to be paranoid about been watched but I think I am."
" Well let's think about this. If someone is watching you who is it? And why are they stalking you? Do you have any idea of who it might be?" asked Cordelia
"I've been thinking about that and I just don't know."
"It could be anyone Angel you've certainly made enemies through the centuries. But who?" said Wesley
" Maybe it's someone that wants our help?" said Gunn
" Then why not ask for it instead of lurking in the shadows?" said Angel
" Maybe there scared cause they now who you are." said Cordelia
"If they know who Angel is then they know it's foolish to be following him." said Wesley
"Yes I mean they must now that if Angel finds them there's going to be trouble." said Gunn
" Were getting ahead of ourselves people we still don't know if Angel is really been followed." said Cordelia
"yes your right." said Wesley
" Maybe I am being paranoid." said Angel
On the other side of town:
He had to be careful he almost got caught. The other night when he'd been following him he was sure that he'd felt his presence he'd even turned toward were he was, but he was sure he didn't see him. He couldn't get caught just yet. He'd been waiting along time for this and the timing had to be right. At least that's what Father O'Malley had said before he died. "You'll know when it's time, to reveal yourself to him." those had been his last words to him and he felt the time was nearing. Angel would get a glimpse of his past soon.
