So This was written in 2004 and I needed to post this to be able to post my sequel I'm working on now. This is one of my very first fanfics, so I'm sorry if there are mistakes. I haven't got to rewriting it.
Chapter One
Buffy grumbled loudly slamming the piles of papers on the desk, "Didn't he say he would be quick." She huffed loudly before pouring herself a coffee and plopping down in the small wooden chair beside the open window.
The smell of fresh mowed grass filled her senses and her eyes shut instantly. Her mind wandered to Angel and a knot formed in her stomach. She remembered her encounter the night before, with two vampires. They fought a good fight, not letting her win; finally after twenty minutes of getting her ass kicked she finally was able to catch the smaller one, staking him instantly. Afraid he too would be dust the older vampire asked for his freedom in exchange for information...information on Angel, her Angel
Could Angel really be evil, or was he just playing sides? If he wasn't evil, did he really have someone in his life now? Someone who he could love.
Andrew and the potentials exited the cab and headed inside the slayers training building, which was now located in England where the Watcher Council used to be.
Riley and two other men entered the warehouse, the hands clenched tightly around tranquilizer guns. "She's contained for right now but not for long, we should get her into captivity." Andrew said, heading toward the big steel doors; he placed his hand on the key pad and it opened.
"Alright you heard him, let's get her into captivity." Riley ordered.
Giles, Buffy and Willow sat around the big oak table that was able to fit at least eighty-five to a hundred slayers.
"You got her, what happened?" Buffy asked noticing Andrew and turning towards him.
"Uh yes, she is pretty drugged right now, we had to sedate her. Sh…She is pretty crazy." Riley said pulling out a chair and sitting.
Willow looked to her best friend and then stood, grabbing the coffeepot and pouring them all a cup.
"And Angel? How is he? Is it true? Buffy asked hesitantly.
Andrew sighed and looked towards the watcher. "Yes it does seem that he is with Wolfram and Hart. Kind of fought me at the end, wanting the slayer in his custody, saying it was his case and subject. Ooh and it seems a certain Vampire is around." Andrew said knowing Spike would get angry.
Buffy's eyes grew big and she turned pale. "Angelus?" She mumbled not looking at them.
Andrew snorted and sipped his coffee. "No it seems Spike is back." A gasp escaped everyone's mouth and Buffy swallowed hard.
"Let's go."
"So, do you want to go for breakfast?" Nina asked holding her hand out to Angel.
"Sure, let's go," He took her hand and lead her up to his apartment.
She smiled as they entered the huge living room which was decorated with red satin curtains, candles, pictures and so many other elegant objects. "Wow, it's so beautiful," she said taking her shoes off and sitting on the couch.
"Thanks," he smiled, handing her a cup of coffee and taking a seat next to her.
She grinned and took a sip of her coffee. "So tell me about you," she asked moving closer.
The cab pulled up to the Wolfram and Hart building. "This is it," the cab driver announced.
Giles smiled, handing the cab driver thirty dollars and everyone got out.
Faith, Wood, Andrew and all the potentials stayed in England while Buffy, Giles, Riley, Dawn, Willow and Xander stared at the building.
"Law firm, Huh didn't see this coming for dead boy," Xander said and Buffy glared at him.
They headed inside, going to the reception desk. Harmony had gone for a vacation so a temporary worker had taken over.
"May I help you?" The girl asked staring at them curiously.
"Yes, I would like to see Angel." Buffy asked nicely watching at all the people scurrying around.
"I'm sorry; Mr. Angel is tied up for the moment and asked not to be disturbed but he should be down later," Crystal said sitting back down in the chair.
"I'm sorry this was short and we never got to talk much," Angel said placing his hand on the small of her back as the elevator opened on the main floor.
Buffy grew irate and Riley placed his hand on her shoulder. "What's your name?" She grunted glaring at the young girl.
"Ah Crystal…" The girl coughed looking away from the angry lady.
"Well Crystal, can you please get Mr. Angel here right now. Tell him the slayer is here to see him," she screamed and the building went silent.
His hand dropped from Nina's back as he turned towards his mate's voice.
"Bu…Buffy,"
