Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy or Angel. I am just writing stories on what I believe should be happening at this point.

Dear Readers,

I am sorry that this chapter is so short but my best friend said that this was a good cliffhanger. Also, I wanted to mention that I originally posted this story over three years ago and removed all my writings over the summer due to personal issues. I have decided to repost this story and wrap it up for all my faithful readers out there. I hope that the changes I made improved my story and I cannot wait for your thoughts, opinions and suggestions. I also wanted to thank Kirbinite, Bindani the Crazin, Jenny, A, Bunny, Natalie Elizabeth, Sean Mulligan, Lutra, Callia, Angel-Cordy, Lily, Kellie, Pixiechick, RaeCool, Vesu, Catherine AlissaAsetLogan13WolfDragonDemonCassie-bear01BunnyKat, Jean, Heather, lukelorelai-en, loz, Raining Blood Red Moon, spk, jennifer lynn van ryn, Eliza Rosenbergdarkdestiney2000Imzadi, gcgirl, Kassie6, and ferret8541 for all your reviews over the years and I look forward to your comments in the future.

NOTE TO READERS: This is my first fanfic. Please be gentle in your reviews but at the same time be honest. For the reader who asked about me putting in Lindsey, I will see what I can do. I wasn't really familiar with his character, but I will do my best. I am also livening Connor up because he was a little too much like Oz in the emotion department and a little too much like Angel in the brooding department. Please enjoy.

For those of you who don't watch Angel, Angel is a vampire, but he is different because he has a soul. Angel wasn't always good, and while he was evil, he killed a man's family. That man basically sold his soul to a demon so that he could get his revenge. 200 years later, he gets his revenge by stealing Angel's baby son, who is named Connor, and going through a portal to a hell dimension.

When Connor came back (two months later) from the hell demission, he was 18 years old and had been convinced that Angel is evil and could never be good. So, as of this moment, Darla (Connor's biological mom), who was also a vampire, is gone because she staked herself in order to allow Connor to live, Cordelia, the closest thing Connor has had to a mom is a Power That Be; which are kind of like gods and goddesses. Angel is at the bottom of the ocean.

Wesley (who didn't mean to, but kind of helped in the kidnapping of Connor) is exiled from the Fang gang (that's what many have dubbed the group) and Winifred (known as Fred) and Gunn have no idea what is going on with Angel, Connor and Cordy. My story starts a few hours after Angel is sent to the bottom of the ocean.

Chapter One

Los Angeles#

It was dark out side, only a couple of hours until daylight... hours after HE committed the crime. HE was the adopted son of a good man that was corrupted by Angelus and was out to destroy Angel. Two figures are seen walking (practically running) toward a hotel (Angel's hotel) so that the young man can confess his crime. He wants to confess what he did because his foster father's girlfriend just told the boy the REAL story about what's been happening since he arrived from Quortoth.

"Steven (that's what Holtes, his "Dad", named him) wait! Please! I can explain!" The red head yelled as she ran after her dead beloved's son.

"Stay away! You killed him! MY FATHER! Not only that but you told me it was Angel that did it! Mother loved him and you tricked me into dumping him into the ocean!" Connor yelled back, not even caring about what he called Cordelia.

"Who?" Justine asked in confusion.

"Cordelia Chase! My MOTHER! You were never my mother and never will be. That much I have been sure of for as far back as I can remember." Connor said a little more calmly as he entered the hotel that his mom wanted him to call home, but at the same time, his father wanted him to destroy.

"MOM! FRED! GUNN! Where is everybody! Angel needs your help... AND YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE JUSTINE!" Connor yelled as he searched the hotel for his potential family. He had grabbed Justine by the arm because she had tried to make a quick escape when she realized that Connor was going to save Angel.

"CONNOR! Where have you been? We were so scared that something happened to you; especially since both Cordy and Angel are missing." The timid brunette known as Fred (short for Winifred) asked as she hugged Connor hard.

"Mom is missing?" Connor's voice shook as he spoke; and the color drained from his face.
