Bailey: The Legend returns

Note: THIRD INSTALLMENT IN THE BAILEY SAGA.

Story Summary: Angelus comes face to face with the mystic being that's been protecting Bailey and the legendary Sean comes with a warning for Angelus.

Note: For this storyline Darla isn't the one that sired Angelus. His sire was a male and is still alive. Picture Lestat from queen of the damned. Also I stole the idea for the queen but nothing is like the move so really I didn't steal her idea its all me. I just borrowed Lestat's name and made someone else the queen of the damned.

Chapter Summary: Sean comes to warn Angelus of a threat and Angelus's sire discovers the mystery

Warning: Spanking in later chapters and shocks and surprises for everyone!

Chapter one: Bree's Legacy

One month after sequel ended:

There was a knock on the door, which was odd because nobody ever came to visit. Angelus answered and found Sean on his doorstep. Sean the vampire that was centuries old. Much older then any vampire Angelus had ever met. "Sean, what can I do for you." he said as they headed to his study.

Bailey and Toby were watching TV and William was writing a poem while Penn was napping due to boredom.

Sean sat down when Angelus sat down. "I have news. "

"Do you now?" Angelus smirked "And what sort of news are you bringing me?"

Sean's somber look caused Angelus to frown he was now curious. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

"My boy is dust." Sean told Angelus

Angelus sat back in his chair confused "What? That teen you loved so much? How?"

Sean looked away then back at Angelus "Who sired you Angelus?" he asked suddenly.

Angelus frowned. He didn't like speaking of his sire. He like all vampires both hated and loved his sire with a burning passion that could never die. "What has that got to do with what I asked you?"

Sean gazed at Angelus "It was my sire that dusted the boy...some of the ancients have banned together to form a coven and have been enforcing the laws of our kind...its forbidden to turn a child. They knew that I'd lay waste to any vampire that tried to harm him...so they sent the one vampire in the world that I had no chance of defeating. My sire it seems is still stronger then I am. I fear the same fate for your young Bailey, if your sire is alive that is."

Angelus was enraged by this news. The Ancients? Well fuck! His sire was probably part of the coven then.

"I'm sorry for your loss...and thank you for telling me. But if what you say is true then I'm not sure what I can do. My sire is still alive...and he's an ancient as I assume yours is." Angelus looked to Sean who nodded "Virgil is one of the few first vampires to be made by the vampire goddess herself. "

Angelus sighed "It seems that bitch made many before she was defeated. My sire was made by her as well. Lestat was her first."

Sean's eyes widened and he stood "Lestat! He is your sire! He's the oldest of the old...Its a wonder how anyone dares challenge you."

Angelus smirked "Its not like I advertise who made me. I'm not so foolish or blind as I used to be. Most of the carnage I caused was done at my sire's beckoning. He encouraged it. Praised me for it and I was quite arrogant when it was all said and done. By the time I got away from him I realized the world wasn't just my toy. They want to follow vampire law, they don't even do that themselves. Turning a child is a minor offense. Making a spectacle of yourself, creating a scene and bringing attention to our kind is one of the most high crimes."

Sean wasn't comfortable in the room anymore "I know Angelus, I just wanted to warn you because of your girl. If I'd known they were coming, I'd have dusted the boy myself rather then let my sire do it. He was so afraid, he had no idea who my sire was and then he was gone. Just like that..." Sean shook his head sighed and headed out as Angelus thought it through for a while. Toby looked older so he could pass for 18 but Bailey was and looked like a little girl. She was 13 when he turned her. He would do anything to save her from his sire...and he knew exactly what he would have to do.

William and Penn were in the living room with Bailey and Toby when Angelus came out, there was a stake in his hand as he walked into the room. Their eyes turned to him and the stake William instantly was on his feet and walked slowly over to Angelus "Angelus?"

Angelus looked at his boy "I can't do it, I can't...I can't allow it."

His gaze traveled from one to the other all of them were confused. And then his eyes settled on Bailey.

Then back to Spike "My sire is coming for her, hes an ancient. I broke the law. He won't let her live."

Spike and Penn suddenly realized what they were seeing. It was just so unreal. For the first time ever there was fear in his eyes and a look of defeat on his face. His sire. Angelus couldn't go against his sire. No Vampire could challenge their sire and win. The sire was always stronger.

Suddenly Angelus tossed a set of keys to Penn "Get the car ready, William pack your things, Bailey and Toby pack your things. You'll all be leaving," he handed a paper to Spike "This is where your going. You'll be safe there. Its the one place he'll never go. You must hurry..there's no time for goodbye's."

Penn heartbroken did as he was told and Bailey and Toby who hadn't really understood went to pack their things too.

William didn't move. "What are you gonna do?"

Angelus looked sadly at Spike "Whatever I have to...what would you be willing to do to save her?" he asked.

Spike thought about that and then his eyes got wide..."No...Angelus, how's that gonna help?" he asked

"It'll give you the time you need to get away." Angelus said honestly.

"But he'll know you know where we are." Spike frowned

"And he'll know there's nothing he can do that will make me tell him." Angelus vowed then stroked Spike's face "My boy, my sweet boy. Promise me...promise you'll protect her."

Spike gulped and nodded "Til the end of the world."

Angelus kissed him and then chuckled "Go on and say it...I know your dying to."

"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great And would suffice. " Spike said quoting Robert Frost the poet.

Then he added "We'll die without you, you know that."

Angelus shook his head stroking his face more "No my sweet, you'll live. You'll keep going. And you won't forget me. You know everything you need to know William. Now all you need to learn, is how to say goodbye." his heart broke with each word he spoke. He didn't want them to go. But he knew it was the only way to save them.

Spike wanted to cry. He kissed his sire and then went upstairs to get his things ready. Angelus closed his eyes to gather himself. He needed all his strength for what was coming.

Penn came in now "The car's ready...what about your things Angelus?"

"I'm not going with you." Angelus said simply.

Penn went over to him looking a little lost. Angelus pulled him close and kissed him "Don't look so sad. You've been on your own before. But I'll ask a favor. Stay together. As a family I want you to stay together. Remember that. It'll be hard on all of you. But none of us have a choice here." Angelus said.

Penn took it hard but tried to remain strong. Bailey ran down the stairs then and threw herself at Angelus "NO. I'm not going unless you go too!" she cried.

Angelus sighed, this is what he needed to be strong for "Your going. Without me and you'll behave for your brothers." He knelt before her "You must do this precious. For me. I know you need me. But I need you safe. And while your with me you won't be safe. You must give me a chance childe. Give me time to placate my sire. He's angry with me. That's why he's coming for you. The punishment for turning a childe is one of two things. The sire is dusted. Or the childe is dusted. And since its my sire, its you he'll dust. I can't have that. I won't let him get you. He can't have you. Your mine. " Angelus then picked her up to cuddle her not knowing when he would hold her again.

Penn steered Toby out to the car not daring to look back at his sire. He'd cry if he did.

Angelus put Bailey down as Spike got behind her. She whined a little and then Spike just picked her up and carried her kicking and whining out to the car. Angelus heard the car start up and drive off and prayed to whatever deity was listening to please keep them safe.

Late that night Angelus couldn't sleep. He was laying there in bed when he felt it. The bond between sire and childe was a strong when. But when your sire was an ancient? Well lets just say you knew the second he entered your home. Angelus got up from the bed and went down the stairs on his guard and then stopped and turned around.

Angelus sighed as he spotted his sire. Lestat was leaning against the door frame gazing at Angelus.

"So where is she?" he asked.

"You will never find her. " Angelus promised.

Lestat smirked and raised a brow "It seems your faith in me isn't what it used to be."

"I'm not a stupid fledge anymore." Angelus leaned against the wall

"So then why didn't you just go with them?" Lestat asked already knowing the answer.

"You already know why, so why are you asking." Angelus raised a brow

"Cause, I wanna hear you say it. " Lestat's commanding gaze lingered on Angelus.

"You've no need to chase after her. She's mine. You can't have her. End of discussion." Angelus said in the same tone only he wasn't as arrogant as his sire. There was a respectful note to what he said.

Lestat came forward "She is..." Angelus quickly found himself pinned his sire's mouth by his ear "And what about you? Have you forgotten who you belong to?"

Angelus didn't answer. He bit the inside of his jaw even though he wanted to shove his sire and claim that he was he belonged to himself now, but Angelus wasn't stupid. If he challenged his sire his sire would spend the next several days showing him exactly who he belonged to...therefore assuring that his children would make it safely. And so with that thought in his head, he closed his eyes. He knew he would pay. He would pay dearly...but it was worth it. He shoved Lestat who wasn't expecting it. The other vampire was so arrogant. He'd never think his childe would dare to attack him. Angelus had NEVER attacked his sire before. Angelus did more then attack him. He was broader then his sire even if his sire was stronger. Angelus tackled his sire to the floor he punched him hard. He almost wanted to laugh at the look of shock on Lestat's face...but then he tried to swallow his terror as Lestat slapped him so hard that it sent him to the floor at his side. Lestat was up in seconds on top of Angelus. He slapped him again. "Your right. Your not a fledgling anymore. When you were a fledgling you were smart." another slap and then Lestat bit Angelus. Angelus struggled and then submitted as his sire drank from him. He drank until Angelus could feel his own weakness. And then as everything got blurry he felt his sire easily lift him.

Penn woke screaming again. Spike was there instantly. "Shh...stop..it was just a dream.." he tried to comfort Penn who glared at Spike "No its not...it can't be. Its too real."

"What did you see?" Spike asked unaware that Toby and Bailey were awake and listening.

"Angelus...his sire. I can hear Angelus screaming...its sickening. Whatever his sire is doing, Angelus is in a lot of pain. He's suffering." Spike didn't like the sound of that.

They'd made it to the cabin and were out in the middle of nowhere it seemed. And now with Penn having these dreams and the way Angelus acted before they left Spike wondered if Angelus had manipulated his sire into a show down to give them more time.

But Spike could sense it too. Angelus was suffering. He hadn't seen it or heard it. But then again he wasn't the first childe made by Angelus.

A week later:

Angelus lay on the four poster bed. He still couldn't put a shirt on. His back was still healing. He'd been whipped without mercy for his 'crime' as well as being forced to submit to his sire's sexual punishments. He still felt he'd accomplished something by it so it wasn't for nothing. They were safe. And that made him happier. Lestat climbed in behind him pulling Angelus close as Angelus faced away from him "Where is she? I won't ask nicely again."

Angelus glared at the wall because he didn't dare glare at his sire. The Sadistic bastard was in a hell of a mood and it was Angelus's own fault. Being defied by your favorite childe pissed off a sire...Angelus knew first hand so in a way he understood.

He then smirked "I'm no fool"

Lestat stroked Angelus's face and smirked a bit "Ever the fighter eh Angelus? No, I already know you'd rather go to hell then send her there. " he flipped Angelus over and straddled him "she's an abomination boy. A childe Vampire. They can never leave their sire. They can't control their hunger, they are totally dependent on the one that created them, they are young, they are foolish, and they have tempers. Some of the worst slaughters recorded were done by vampire children. They wanted you and her dusted..I had no idea what was going on until I was informed by a reliable source. Do you have any idea what that was like. Hearing second hand that you'd pissed off so many vampires by creating that childe! I saved you just like I always do. You never change Angelus. "

Angelus wasn't sympathetic "You seem to have gained control of the coven easily enough."

"I had to kill 30 vampires that night boy. This isn't a game. " Lestat growled.

"For you it is. You always get what you want. Your powerful and no one can defeat you. Hell you can even walk in the light because you drank HER blood. Why is it my fault that these idiots wait until the last second to tell me what they think of my actions? " Angelus glared up at his sire.

Lestat glared right back "They shouldn't have to tell you anything Angelus, you KNOW already that she is an abomination. A burden. If I don't dust her you'll be plagued with her forever. She'll never be able to leave you."

"I don't care. She's special to me. " Angelus tried to make Lestat understand, but like his heart Lestat was dead, he cared for nothing. Only one thing had ever touched his heart...and that thing was pleading with him to spare Bailey.

Lestat sensed something then. "I'll think it over. " he kissed Angelus then fiercely and with more fire and passion then any vampire should ever be capable of. But then that was Lestat all over the place.

Lestat left Angelus in the bed and headed out to the thrown room. He sat in the chair after being informed that prisoners had surrendered to them. He ordered them to be brought in.

A band of 6 vampires brought in three. Two male. And one female child. Also a vampire.

Bailey had left the cabin and Spike and Penn had went after her. They'd had to go all the way to Europe before they found where their sire was being held.

Bailey first noticed the powerful vampire before her. His eyes black as sin. And he smirked "Don't tell me...let me guess. Bailey?" he asked the little girl and was growled at by Spike.

Lestat stood up glancing at Spike then at his hair "What in the world possessed you to want your hair that color..." he shook his head not expecting an answer then looked at Penn "You must be Penn. Hmm. I don't see the appeal really. I've sired ones far more pretty then you. Angelus included." he said revealing himself as Angelus's sire to them in a way laying claim to their sire.

Bailey struggled in the arms of the vampires holding her "Where is he? Where's Angelus. I want to see him."

Lestat went over knelling before her. He looked in her eyes and was about to tell her he didn't care what she wanted. But he suddenly couldn't. He now understood why Angelus had wanted her so badly.

Angelus's voice came from above on the terrace "Lestat I'll never forgive you." he was being held by two vampires stopping him from jumping down to aid his children. Lestat didn't need to ask what Angelus meant. He knew. Lestat stood then and said "Release him."

The two vampires holding onto her were confused as was Angelus.

The two holding Angelus let go and Angelus jumped down "Come here." Lestat ordered glancing at Angelus.

Angelus still confused went over to Lestat glancing at Penn, William, and Bailey just to be sure they were alright.

"I don't understand." Lestat stated then looked at Angelus "How did you do this?"

Angelus blinked "Do what?"

Lestat glared "Bring back the dead goddess."

Angelus quirked a brow "What?"

"My Sire Boy. The queen of the damned." Lestat asked.

Angelus frowned "Oookay...anybody else totally lost here?" he joked but it was only his way of admitting he had no idea what his sire was talking about.

Lestat stood then enraged "THAT CHILD IS THE QUEEN!" he yelled.

Angelus looked about as shocked as one could get. The rage on Lestat's face scared them all.

Angelus was the only one who could find his voice "W..I don't understand...a second ago you were ready to kill her. Now your saying she's the queen? That's not possible."

Lestat sat down "Its been so long I almost forgot."

Angelus looked curiously at his sire "Forgot what?"

"That my Sire was a child. There were rumors that the queen had been killed...but that wasn't true. We turned her human and sent to another time. With no memory of who she was or of her power. It was done to free the world because she would have drank the world dry. She had to be stopped. But I was weak. We all were. Those of us that she sired. We loved her you see. We couldn't kill her..and yet we were the only ones who could kill her. Because she wouldn't hurt us. " Lestat explained staring at Bailey..

Angelus looked at Bailey now..wait..."But she was human when I turned her..she had a family.."

"As fake as her memories of them I assure you. We used magic to change the fate of this world. We owed it. If she was allowed to continue there would be no human left to feed on. That's why we made her human and erased her memory." Lestat said.

Bailey looked at him...the longer she stood there the stranger she felt.

Angelus put his hands on his hips looked at his sire then at Bailey "Hang on...Are you saying I Sired the queen of us all?"

Lestat's gaze moved to Angelus now "You have no idea what you've done. You turned her. You've unleashed her on this world again! What if she goes back to her old ways? That mortality spell isn't one I can easily conjure up. I need the others..." he said more to himself.

"We're not turning Bailey human." Angelus protested.

Lestat glared "Her name isn't Bailey...perhaps I should tell you some of the things that child did in my day. And the hell we're not. She can't stay a vampire."

"I think that's my decision. Bailey is mine. I control her." Angelus glared.

Lestat chuckled and that turned into an actual laugh finally he was just grinning "Stupid boy...no one controls the queen. She's more of a monster then any vampire or demon in this world. And she's not yours. You are hers. We all belong to her. Its her heritage, her customs, her ways that we follow. You don't understand. You weren't there when she reigned. She's dangerous Angelus..I know what she is. Her power...and I fear for the day that she discovers it...we all should!"

"I Sired you?" Bailey asked and all eyes turned to her yet again.

Lestat nodded "A long time ago..yes."

"Did I...Did I give you a choice?" she asked curious.

Lestat's brows furrowed "What?"

"Did I give you a choice?" Bailey asked wanting to know. "Or did I just turn you?"

Lestat smiled a little "No, there was no option if that's what you mean. No ultimatum. You simply bit me and I fed from you, and I was a vampire then and have been every since then."

Bailey looked into space. Why would she do that? It didn't sound like her. "Oh, did I not have a soul?" she asked thinking maybe that was why.

Lestat stiffened "Soul? No. You don't have a soul." he said.

Angelus protested then "Yeah she does. She's unnaturally nice and sweet. She's like..." Angelus tried to find the right word.

Lestat smirked "Love...I know. Without her the race because more soulless then ever...now that she's back, I understand why so many suddenly seem to have a heart again. "

"So why are you making it sound like a bad thing?" Penn asked.

"Because it is...No God can walk this earth as a mortal. When we made her mortal her power, her immortality was stored somewhere...now that she's a vampire again it will eventually return to her and on that day, no mortal will be safe. She will know what she is and she will become the thing that sired me so long ago. "

Angelus thought this was ridiculous "I don't believe this...your afraid of her!"

Lestat glared at him "because I am not blinded Angelus. You are. She is not a child. She is evil. Always has been. Always will be."

"Your mistaken then...this isn't the same girl. " Angelus tried

Lestat sighed heavily "This you hope...I unfortunately know better...bring me that book." he ordered Angelus.

Angelus scowled but did as he was told bringing the very old book to his Sire.

Lestat took it and flipped to a page "I want you to meet someone...I want you to meet the child that was born of evils fire, she comes to claim, she comes to sire, the end of all things mortal." Lestat turned the book now and there was a picture of Lestat and...Bailey her hair was even longer in the photo and she looked the same accept that she was dressed in an Egyptian style outfit. She was sitting in Lestat's lap.

Angelus looked to his sire then at Bailey. No. There was just no way that the monster Queen was his little one. She was good.

"Perhaps its you that knows nothing." Angelus stated.

Lestat raised a brow "Excuse me?"

"That girl doesn't have an evil bone in her body. She can't be the same girl." Angelus said.

Lestat went over to Angelus "Fine...I'll prove it." He pinned Angelus down then looked at one of the vampires holding Bailey as Angelus struggled he stopped dead when he heard Lestat say "Stick a stake in her heart. NOW."

The Vampires moved fast one picked her up as she kicked and the other stabbed her in the heart with a stake. Everyone closed their eyes. Everyone but Lestat. Unfortunately he had been right.

"Open your eyes Angelus..." he ordered "She's still there."

Angelus opened his eyes not believing and then his heart sank when he saw that she wasn't dust. Because that's when he knew. No Vampire didn't become dust.

Only the Vampire goddess was immune to all the ways vampires could die.

"Stake in the heart, sunlight, fire, nothing will kill her Angelus. Because she's not what you think she is." Lestat said then got off of Angelus and sighed "I have some calls to make. The spell will be done Angelus. Unless you wanna live in a world where you'll starve that is." he said then left the room.

Bailey pulled the stake out of her confused and almost wanted to cry. But instead she collapsed her eyes closed.

Angelus rushed over then glared "Release them." he ordered the vampires that had restrained Spike and Penn. Angelus picked up Bailey and carried her to a spare room laying her there.

"Angelus...I don't understand how this is possible." Penn frowned.

"I don't either..." Spike said.

Angelus had an idea "I think he's wrong."

"What?" Penn asked

"There's a legend about the queen. I read it many years ago after I was sired. The Queen was pure evil...but she also had a sister. A twin sister. The legend was never looked into because there was no evidence of the sister. No pictures of the two of them. Nothing to show that there really was two of them...but what if there was. Perhaps Bailey is the other sister." Angelus hoped.

"Why would that matter? Their twins. Aren't they the same?" Spike asked.

"Not according to the legend. The legend says that one was good and one was evil." Angelus said.

"Wait, I read that too I think, didn't the evil one kill the good one?" Penn asked.

"That's what the legend says...but what if its wrong? What if she didn't kill her sister? She could have just locked her up somewhere for safe keeping or something. Its her twin sister after all...maybe I'm just drawing for straws here. But I never forgot that legend and I guess I always hoped that there was a good twin. " Angelus said.

"How do you know that?" Lestat suddenly appeared and Angelus turned to him "About the legend? I read it."

"No, I mean how did you know it was true? How did you know of the sister?" Lestat asked.

Angelus suddenly had hope again "I didn't...I just hoped there was."

"Suffer no delusions Angelus...even if Bree didn't kill her sister, her sister, who was never called by a name, was still weaker then Bree. She can't control her." Lestat said.

"What if Bailey isn't Bree. What if she's the unnamed sister?" Penn asked.

"She's not." Lestat said to Penn.

"You can't possibly know that." Spike said

Lestat glared now "I know that the sister wasn't like Bree...she wasn't invincible. A stake in the heart WOULD kill the sister according to the legend. Bree had no reason to spare her sisters life. She killed her sister and that's just the way it is."

"What if your wrong?" Toby suddenly asked deciding to get into the talk too.

"I'm not. I'm rarely wrong"

Meanwhile Bailey was dreaming of a dark place, a long long time ago...
