Chapter 1 "That old Feeling"
"You what?!" Giles shouted through the telephone. Willow wasn't surprised at
his reaction.
"I'm only going to be gone for a month. I need some time off."
"Willow, I understand that you have been through a great deal, but we need
you here. With Spike, Drusilla, and Angelus teamed up against us, we can't
risk being undermanned."
"Giles, I'm wiped. I wouldn't be any help, even if I was here."
"I suppose..." Giles said half-heartedly. Before he could say anything else,
Willow squealed thank you in his ear and told him she would see him soon. As
Willow put down the phone that old feeling of guilt came flooding back to
her. She wanted to tell Giles, tell everyone, but how could she? They
wouldn't understand her reasons. She couldn't let Angel die. But now she
had condemned him, and betrayed her friends. They could never know what she
had done. The past few days played over again insider her head. The
research on the Restoration of Angel's soul had quickly turned into research
on temporal time folds. She stumbled upon a prophecy foretelling "the death of the vampire with a soul, at the hands of the Slayer" She knew then, that
the only way to save Angel was to create a temporal fold, and make sure that
Angel could never get to Acathala. As a side effect to Willow's magical
workings, Angel's soul could not be restored by an Orb of Thesula. And
Willow wasn't sure how else she could do it. She didn't have a choice though. So now, she was the only one in the world who knew. She had brought them back into normal time with different memories. Her friends didn't remember Acathla, or any of it. They all thought they had been researching Angel's past for the last couple of days. And today was the day after Buffy was supposed to have stopped Angelus. Willow only hoped she had done the right thing.
