Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story except for Jasmine. The rest belong to the makers of Angel. Thank you.
She sat looking at the still water of the ocean and thinking about what made her bury her love beneath the still waters of the Pacific. It had started out so innocently and just as simple. She had been reunited with Penn for the past six years and Penn couldn't get Angel out of his head and how he had changed him and how he had killed his family and his love was different because of him. So he decided to start a vendetta against Angel.
Penn was bent on this psychotic path to destroy this Angelus. Jasmine started to read in the papers about these strange murders happening around LA. Each of the victims had a cross carved into their right cheek. She started to follow Penn and one night she saw Angelus or Angel as he was calling himself now.
Penn and Angel were fighting and through the whole fight Penn kept yelling about Angel ruining his life and how Angel was keeping him from someone he loved. This kept making Angel mad and he was yelling how he opened the door and Penn made himself to be this monster.
Angel almost killed Penn except Jasmine ran out of hiding. "Stop, please don't kill him. I love him." Angel was stunned to see Jasmine running back to Penn and hearing those words come from her mouth that he let Penn go. Jasmine and Penn walked back to his sparely kept penthouse apartment. Penn's various cuts and bruises started to heal on their own and in an hour they had completely disappeared.
Jasmine sat there and started to cry and Penn just looked upset. "Jasmine I'm all right." Penn said. "Penn, he would have killed you if I hadn't said something." "Angel is upset because of the people you have killed. They didn't do anything to you." Jasmine stated angrily.
She stormed out of Penn's apartment and was almost immediately grabbed and taken to a hotel. While she was sitting there she started to wish that she had never left Penn's apartment. Finally Angel descended down the stairs and looked at Jasmine.
He seemed annoyed at the fact she was still with Penn since she was different now. What had possessed her to stay with this creature? "How could you love a cold blooded killer?" he asked. "He's a good person even if you don't see it. Angel you made him this way remember and it's only been recently that he has started to kill for no reason." Jasmine shot back. After some thought Angel sent Wesley to leave a letter for Penn to read.
The letter told Penn that Angel had Jasmine and if he wanted to see her and end this to meet him in the alley behind the police station at 11pm. Wesley also left one of Angel's business cards with his address on it.
Around 8pm Penn found the letter and was worried about Jasmine's welfare and also pissed at Angel for stooping so low as to kidnap her when she would of came willingly and he was afraid he might even hurt her. So he decided to deliver his answer in person.
Penn walked into Angel's Investigations and found Jasmine sitting in Angel's office talking to Wesley. He asked him where Angel was and that he needed to speak with him. Angel hearing Penn's voice descended down the stairs to talk to talk to him. When he entered his office Penn told Angel he would fight him but under his demands.
