Here is another one of my fics… you kinda have to forget everything hat happened on Angel… if you know what I mean…. I hope you all will like it….!

LA… night…. A shadow strolls through the darkness….the camera moves up and we see the familiar face of or 'fearless' leader Angel. He turns a corner and sees a man coming in his direction. Angel narrows his eyes and gets out a stake sensing trouble. The man comes closer and we can see blood on his mouth. As he walks past Angel he gets grabbed by the collar and thrown against wall. Before the men realises what happens he finds himself with a stake through the heart. Angel sighs turns to walk away again "moron" he muttered under his breath. He then walks into a cemetery getting ready for whatever was gonna come. He had hardly done anything else after leaving Sunnydale and coming here. Losing Tina to that Russel guy had made him even more determent…. He was not about to have that happen again.

Cut to a normal LA house into a bedroom. A 13 year old girl is laying in bed but is very much awake. She looks around scared then lies back down and pulls the covers over her head and sighs and peeks out from under the covers to…. Empty space… she shivers and dives under the covers again.

A few years later. LA night. Angel is standing at the beach deep in thought. Things sure had changed since he came here. He had fought the evil he had saved the souls…. He sighed… it would never stop…. He knew that much. Sometimes it just felt like he was in a rot… he shook his head a little looking at the horizon… wishing he could just rest in peace sometime…

Cut to another part of the beach the now 16 year old girl we saw earlier is standing, lost in thought. She loved the beach. The sound of the waves blocked out some of the screaming and she was usually alone…. Not tonight though. As she looked around she saw a brunette man standing nearby oblivious to anything around him. She shrugged. She was helping people enough during the day… now she was off… she reached in her pocket and got out a small package of white powder looked around to see if anyone might be watching and then opened it and sniffs a little of it. (oke on this part I'm not sure… can you just sniff coke from your hand? If so then is if not then she does it however you do sniff it). She closes her eyes for a second letting that rush come over her washing away the pain in her tired tiny body. She just hoped she had enough to get trough the night…. She would ask Marc for more tomorrow… it always worked like that… se would show him a good time and then he would supply her. She sighed…. What the hell was wrong with her? She should have been used to t all by now… in the end she had never known better. Still she never seemed to…. It was just…. She sighed again not wanting to think about it. She then looked around one last time and turned "just shut up!" she muttered under her breath as she walked of the beach and went on her way home.

Angel looked up a bit startle by the sound of someone's footsteps. He hadn't noticed anyone with him on the beach…. He then narrowed his eyes at the disappearing figure noticing it was a young girl. "what could she be doing here this late?" he said softy to himself as he himself decides it's time to leave and walks away. And is greeted by Cordy on his way in the hyperion. "hey there big guy" she says cheery. Angel looks at the young woman frowns a little and then smiles "hey Cordy something new?" The brunette shrugs "nope boss… no yet… but you know how it is… "that I do" he answered… it could change any minute now… and he was gonna be ready… again…. He then goes into his office and gets a book to catch up on his reading a little…. Somehow he couldn't get that girl out of his mind…. Somehow he knew she needed help… or that she might possibly be able to help him in the process…. He sighed and then put his attention on his book….

Cut to the same LA house we were in three years ago…. Again in the same bedroom.. although newly furnished…. The girl is sitting at her desk behind a school book and is writing frantically. She was way ahead in all her classes due to this late night study sessions she had practically every night out of sheer desperation of not being able to sleep…. She then closed the book and listen carefully if she heard any one of her parents…. Nope… they were fast asleep now…. She then took out the little package again and sniffs some of the powder before getting into bed and pulling the covers over her head again… fearing another sleepless night….
