Chapter 1: Revelations of Pain
Fire rained down from the sky, falling on a terrified City of Angeles. The drops of fire were as large as basketballs striking buildings, cars, and people all over the city. The damage to property was tremendous the loss of life was devastating. Everyone who could find shelter from the rain of fire was transfixed by the terrifying display that took place before them.
The only thing moving in the city was a single was a man, moving at impossible speed with a determined, but bloody face. He moved from rooftop to rooftop without slowing down, vaulting from one roof to another, distances that were impossible for anything human to cross. But this man was not human, he was Angel the ensoulded vampire, in a desperate race to get to his son and the woman he loved before the Beast could reach them and bring them harm.
He instincts both human and vampire screamed to him to reach his woman and child and protect them both. His instincts almost made him smile thru the pain as he ran, if Cordelia heard his thoughts now she would tear off a chunk of his hide for thinking of her as his woman. The happy thought lasted barely a second before another wave of pain from his injuries overwhelmed his happiness.
Angel pushed forward thru the pain and put every effort into reaching Connor and Cordelia. His only hope was the he and Connor would be enough to defeat the beast and protect Cordelia and stop the world from ending. He shoved aside all thoughts of tactics, combat, and weapons to focus his attention on getting to his Seer and his son.
When he was finally in sight of the warehouse where Connor had set up his loft, Angel leaped from the fire escape to the roof of the building overlooking Connor's wherehouse. He reached out with all his vampire senses in attempt to hear any sounds of a fight. There was none, only silence. He crossed the roof and came to the point where he had spent a several night in the past watching Connor in his loft, this time Angel hoped to see his son and the woman he loved, instead of just his son alone.
When Angel look down the hold that he had on tense grip that he had held on reality since Connor had dropped in the ocean was shattered, by the sight of Connor fucking Cordelia. Angel was torn between emotions and instincts unable to doing anything but stand on the roof and stare down at him son fucking HIS SEER, HIS CORDELIA. SHE BELONGED TO HIM, NOT TO ANYONE ELSE.
In that second, Angel could feel the ground open beneath his feet and such him into the depths of hell. The world had truly ended for him, and now only pain, anger, rage and his vampire instincts were left, the Angel who had learned to love, laugh, tell jokes shattered and died inside the body of a 250 year old vampire. Angel could only watch as his son had what he could not, the woman he loved. Finally after some time had passed Angel turned and fled from the most devastating betrayal he would ever know.
In the warehouse across the alley in the hidden loft, Connor and Cordelia were too caught up in the physical to know whether the world was truly ending or if the fire from the sky was just the start of round one. They were to distracted to the screams of rage that erupted from Angel as he jumped from the top of the neighboring wherehouse to the garbage littered alley bellow.
For her part, Cordelia was lost in her efforts to turn the despair at the end of the world to something else anything else, even a stolen moment of forbidden desire was better than the reality of her own powerlessness to stop the end of the world for any thought to touch her. Connor was overwhelmed at his need to posses the forbidden, while lost in the physical, his subconscious mind provided the truth. A cold calculation of the pain that the knowledge that he had possessed the woman that Angelus loved would cause when it was revealed.
But neither knew or could know the consequence of this stolen moment would bring. While the Beast ran free and the City of Angelus burned, no one on earth could image that the suffering for all of mankind had not even begun. That the consequence of Cordelia and Connor betrayal would usher in something worse, but it was a truth that would come to them both in time. They never knew that Angel had seen them or that he was not alone in watching them betray him.
In a mystical cavern removed from time, space, and the all the dimensions of human existence, The Powers That Be watched along with their most trusted and proven warriors stood in hushed gathering. They all stared into the large pool of water in the center of the cavern, for this pool reflected the events that were taking place in the City of Angels. In this pool they saw the battle between the best and Angel's men, they saw the Beast taunt Angel, they watched Angel run to find his Seer and his son. They even saw the betrayal of their greatest Champion by his Seer and the deviant mistake called Connor.
A heavy hush fell over the gather, all afraid to speak for fear that their words would make real the events that were unfolding in the reflection pool at their feet. Finally, one of the Elder Powers looked up into the faces of the others in assembly and said the words that they had all feared. "It has begun." Now, For the first time the Powers what it meant to be afraid.
