Chapter 1

The city of L.A. was dark and unusually quiet. Connor walked through an alley. His brown hair swiftly moved from the slight breeze. He held an average sized stake in his hand. He had left the Hyperion Hotel to go patrolling. Actually, he really just liked the thrill of killing vamps, demons, etc.

Suddenly he heard a noise; he quickly twisted around raising his take. He looked down and saw a rat scamper past him. Connor raised an eyebrow. "Vermin." He muttered under his breath.

Then he heard a scream. It was a woman! Connor immediately sprinted towards the sound. As he ran past stores and buildings, he came to a large park. The darkness did not bother his eyesight at all.

Connor saw a women being held by three male vampires. One was on the right side of her neck and the third had his teeth under her skirt, on her thigh. Connor jumped toward them. One of the vamps looked up and noticed Conner. "Look!" he said. Suddenly the three vampires stared at Connor.

The fearless teen ran at them. The vamps knocked the lady to the ground and walked toward him. Connor kicked #1 vamp in the face, #2 vamp ran at him, Connor stabbed him with his stake and the vamp exploded into dust. #3 vamp jumped on Connor's back, throwing him on the ground.

Connor twisted around so his back was on the ground. #3 vamp went straight at his neck. He kicked the male vampire off of him and he jumped up. He punched the vamp in the face and kneed him in the gut. As the vampire fell, he plunged the stake in his heart and the vampire turned into a cloud of dust.

There was only #1 vamp left. The vampire paused for a moment seeing puffs of dust that were once his fellow vamps. Realizing he could share the same fate as the others, he began to run away. Connor began to trot after him. Connor stopped and then threw the stake at him.

The stake pierced the vampire in his back. #1 vamp slowly fell to the ground, but just before he landed on the ground, he exploded into dust. Connor hadn't even broken a sweat. As Connor watched the dust dissolve, he heard a moan. He turned around and saw the woman lying on the grass.

Conner had actually forgotten about her. He walked over to her and helped her stand up. "Ouch." She calmly said.

"You're alright." Connor said. "They didn't drink enough."

"Did you just-." She slowly stopped.

"Save you?" Connor finished her sentence.

"From-."

"Vampires." He did it again.

"Vampires. You got to be kiddin' me!" she said.

"Nope. You should probably get home. It's dangerous at night." Connor said.

Connor began to walk away. "Well are going to tell me your name?" the girl asked flirtatiously.

"It's Connor." he said.

"My name is Julie." She said grinning.

"You better get home." He grinned back.

Connor began to sprint away until Julie could not see him anymore. She looked back over where the vampires once were. She couldn't believe what had happened. Julie then began to stumble home, limping. Blood streamed down her leg and down her neck.

"A little to the left." Cordelia Chase said in her sassy voice. "Oh no, a little to the right."

"Is it straight or not?" Charles Gunn asked holding a golden-framed painting over his head against the wall.

"Hmm… Maybe we should put up a different one." Cordy said.

"God!" Gunn moaned loudly in the Hyperion Hotel lobby.

Suddenly Fred Burkle came down the stairs. She wore a short skirt and blue blouse. Fred didn't mean to be sexy at all. She was just naturally attracted to sexy clothing. "Oh my God! Are you still putting up the painting?"

Fred walked over to them, "Weren't you doing this 30 minutes ago?"

"Yah, but I just can decide which painted to put up or where to put it." Cordy said.

"Well I can!" Gunn said. He stuck the nail into the wall and hung the painting on the wall.

First Cordy stared at it and then laughed, "It's perfect!"

All three of them chuckled. "So, where's Angel?" Fred looked at Cordelia.

"Out. I don't know where though."

"Okay." Fred said, "And Connor?"

"Out patrolling." Cordy said.

"Hmm… so it's just the three of us?" Gunn asked.

"And Wesley." Fred responded knowing what her boyfriend's reaction would be.

"I can't believe, Angel forgave him. I mean, he kidnapped his son and almost got both of them killed." Gunn said.

"Charles stop it. We all know that Wesley did it to protect Connor. He was tricked, by that damn prophecy." Fred said with her hands on her hips.

"I really don't care, he should've come to us about it. Now everything is back like it used to be. Where is he?" Gunn asked.

"Upstairs with some books." Fred said.

"It better not be anymore prophecies."

Cordy looked at Gunn and then twisted around to the doors. The front doors of the Hyperion Hotel opened, it was Connor. "Connor, you're back!" Cordelia trotted over to him.

"Hi." Connor said enthusiastically.

"How was the patrol?" Fred asked.

"Boring. Only dusted three vamps." Connor said glancing at Gunn. "But I did save a girl."

"Little?" Cordy asked.

"No grown. About my age."

"That's good." Fred said.

"I'm pretty tired, can I just go up to my room?" Connor asked.

"Of course, honey." Cordelia rubbed his back. "You don't have to ask us. This is your home now."

"Yeah." He said as he walked up the stairs.

"I hope he's alright." Fred said.

"He is, Connor just needs to get adjusted." Cordy said.

"Well, if he doesn't sink Angel to the bottom of the ocean again; I think we'll be fine." Gunn said sarcastically.

"Please Gunn, keep the past the past. And the present the present." Cordelia said.

"I'm just saying. Sometimes you have you remember the past to protect the future."

Suddenly the front doors opened again but this time they were slammed open, a green horned demon fell down the steps and into the lobby. The all ran at him and crouched down, "Lorne!" Fred screamed.

Lorne lay on the floor in a daze; blood slowly fell down from his head. His head was thumping, He could barely breath, Lorne cringed a the light in the room, "Will someone please, turn the lights off to dim."

"Lorne, what happened to you?" Cordy asked.

He still lay on the floor, with his eyes closed. Lorne squinted a little and saw his friends, "Get me a sea-breeze first, sunshine."

"What?" Fred asked.

"Tonight I just heard a beautiful, rich song and then I saw the ugliest, most unpreventable thing ever."

The gang stared at Lorne, "A real Apocalypse."
