Chapter One

It was a cool day, in July. Buffy walked quietly through the cemetery. Hoping for some action. It had become quite dull and dead since Glory was defeated and she jumped in the portal, to save her sister, Dawn, and the world, for what seemed to be the millionth time.

Flashbacks of memories flooded her mine. What it had been like before she was brought back to life, by Willow. It bothered her a lot that they brought her back, in the beginning. But now, she couldn't be mad anymore. She would have done the same thing, if she were in their shoes.

Buffy stopped in her tracks as she heard a loud scuffle, off to her left. "Hum, looks like they couldn't hide forever," She said to herself. She reached in her jacket pocket and pulled out "Mr. Pointy," as Kendra called it. Her favorite stake. A small smile spread across her lips, but then, sadness over took her. The painful memory of finding her, on the library floor, dead, stuck to her head, as she headed over to the bushes.

On the other side of the bushes, Angel, with a powerful upper cut, sent the vampire, flying in the near by head stone. Breaking it as it landed on the grass. But that didn't stop the vampire. It got up and went after Angel.

As she got closer, a warm tingly feeling ran through her body. The feeling she would get, when Angel was around.

She turned around and looked. But to find nothing. Nothing, but darkness. The moon lightly shined through the trees off in the distance. Showing a small-lighted path.

She tried pushing that feeling out, but it got stronger, as she walked closer.

Angel looked up for a second, just as he noticed Buffy coming. He didn't want her to see him, at least not right then. She would want to know why, he was in town. That he didn't have answers to. He broke off a tree branch and stuck the vampire with it. In seconds, it dusted. Letting the cool air, carry off with its remains.

He took one last look at her, before he disappeared into the darkness.

Before Buffy could see what was going on, whatever it was had gone. She swore that she heard some noise, and she just couldn't shake the feeling that it might have been Angel. She looked around the area, for a few minutes. Noticing that something had happened, but what? A broken head stone lay at her feet and a few footprints were made in the dirt.

"Okay, I think I'm losing my mind," She said, as she started walking home. She did her nightly routine and now it was time to go home and soak in the bathtub.
