Miracles Chapter 1. Story in between the last ep. of Angel. Fred has a parasite that can't be stopped without killing everyone in the world. Something called miracles happen and Fred diverts death but passes it along to her unsuspecting neighbor.

Wesley is holding Fred close to him as she begins to try to fight for her last breaths of life. Wesley cries a tear that turns into a crystal and it falls on Freds face. It drips into her mouth and she falls onto the bed with her eyes open. Wesley trying to hold his tears in is almost an impossible fight for him. He grabs her and pulls her close to his body and cries.

Suddenly she begins to convulse which pushes Wesley away from her and some kind of dust comes out of her. The dust is the parasite. Wesley catches the parasite with the book. (It's got some powers.) He puts the book into the sheets of the bed. He rushes over to Fred and sees her open her eyes. She gives him a smile.

"I'm still here," says Fred taking deep breaths as she grabs hold of Wesley.

"Yes, you are," says Wesley as he looks at the book that is covered by the sheets. He wonders how the parasite released itself from Fred. Wesley thought that Spike and Angel had something to do with it. They are the ones that saved Fred.

Back at Wolfram and Hart, Angel and Spike come back from their journey filled with tears. They knew that they had lost Fred to the parasite. They couldn't save her.

Then the elevator doors open to reveal Wesley carrying Fred in his arms. Everyone sees Fred move and see that she is breathing.

"She needs medical attention," says Wesley.

"Take her to an outside hospital," Gunn says as he is the first to lead Wesley back into the elevator. Spike and Angel agree and they all leave Wolfram and Hart. Lorne and Harmony follow on the next elevator.

Meanwhile back at Fred's apartment one of Fred's neighbors comes over. Wesley left the door open and she was worry that someone had broken into her apartment. She enters the room with a racket she was carrying.

"Fred," she calls as she looks on the bed, which was mess up and had something under it. She walks toward it. "Who ever is in here I'm calling the police." Then with her left hand she uncovers the book beneath the sheets. Wesley didn't care to bring it back to Wolfram and Hart. He was worried about Fred's health first.

The girl looks at the book and turns it toward her to get a better look at it. She puts her bat down and her hand slowly reaches for the book.

During that time, Fred is admitted to a regular hospital. She is given a full physical and is told that she is going to be just fine. Her friends are relief that she is all right.

"Angel Spike you saved her life. If it wasn't for..."

"Wes, we didn't do anything," says Angel.

"What?"

"That guy told us if we try to take out the parasite that the whole world would be infected," explains Spike.

"Then if you didn't then who did?" They all look at everyone else.

"You know I don't have the powers to perform miracles," says Lorne when his friends' eyes turn to him. "If I did I'd use it on dumpling' cheeks in a heartbeat."

"If the parasite is out then where is it?" ask Angel.

"In my book," replies Wesley.

"Where is it?"

"Fred's apartment," replies Wesley.

"We need to contain it," says Angel. "Wes, stay here with Harmony and Lorne. The rest of you come with me."

"How will you contain it?" Angel grabs a Hoover dust cleaner and takes it along with him. They then head to Fred's apartment.

Back at the apartment the girl opens the book and the dust particles come out of and enter her body. She begins to cough and slams against the wall smashing it. Then she falls to the floor flat on her face.

A minute later Angel and his crew come into Fred's apartment and see the book has been opened. Angel's eyes bulge open and he sees a girl on the floor. Gunn goes to her side to check for a pulse.

"She's alive," says Gunn. "Strange pulse though." Gunn turns her around and her eyes open wide.

"Parasite is in her," says Spike. "What are we going to Angel?"

"What we do best," says Angel.

Suddenly the girls arm moves and Wesley's book comes to her. Angel and Spike didn't look surprise.

"She's a witch."
