The Buffy & Angel Trilogy

~Part 3~

Historical Note: By now, the story takes place in the end of the fifth season of Buffy, and the fourth season of Angel.

Author's Note: I'm bacccckk!! lol. Well here it is; the final part. I really hope I'm doing a good job. I kinda stopped watching Buffy after it ended although I own up to the 4th season on DVD's. But I downloaded this Buffy/Angel video. It consisted of a sad song accompanied by lots of clips of Buffy and Angel through the years, and well, it made me remember what Buffy and Angel had together. And yes, there may have been a few tears, alright! Can't a person tear up! LOL. But seriously tho, I really hope I've written this story well and I'm not just writing a crappy story. The feedback has been SO much help you guys! Please let me know if I need to be changing' anything!!

Author's Note/Historical Note: This part takes place three months after where the second one left off. Angel is still missing, leaving Buffy to deal with the Hyperion Hotel, and to raise Connor. Cordelia has also gone missing, and the crew is searching for her as well. Also, Joyce gets terminally ill, forcing Buffy to go back to Sunnydale and take care of things for awhile not knowing she'd end up doing it permanently.

Prologue

Three Months Later...

"Where's Buffy when you need her?" Gunn asked as he and Fred ran down an alley to escape a group of vampires that were chasing them.

"I don't know, but we could sure use her superpowers right about now!" Fred said back, out of breath. The group of vampires had managed to outnumber Fred and Gunn easily.

"Charles, look. A dead end!" Fred called out as they slowed down and came towards the end of the alleyway.

"Yeah, I'm seeing that," he said as the two of them were forced to back against the wall.

"Get ready to switch into fighting mode," Gunn warned Fred as the vampires walked closer towards them.

"Making that plan," Fred said worriedly. She could fight when she was forced to, but she wasn't as good as Wes and Gun.

"Looking for me?" A female voice asked from behind the group of vampires.

"Buffy! Boy you're cutting it close!" Gunn told her as he felt a sign of relief.

"Slayer! Keep your little friends away from me and my homies. Their bothering us," The leader of the group said as he turned towards Buffy.

"Look, we really don't want any trouble, were just looking for Marissa. We heard she knows where our friend is," Buffy explained.

The leader hesitated for a second as he thought.

"She's in a condemned building off Figueroa," he told them. He paused the suddenly gave his group a signal to ambush the three of them.

"Gunn!" Buffy exclaimed as she tossed him a stake and began to kick the vampires that were coming at her.

"Got it!" he said as he caught the stake in the air. He spun around and quickly staked a vampire.

"Fred, get behind me!" Gunn shouted as he staked another vampire. Fred quickly did what she was told and ran behind him as he and Buffy continued to stake the vampires.

Before Fred was able to get behind Gunn for cover, a vampire grabbed her and pulled her away from him. Buffy looked up, about to run over and help when suddenly, the vampire exploded into dust.

"Did you see that? Wasn't that cool?" Connor said excitedly; referring to his fighting skills with decapitating the vampire that was about to kill Fred. Buffy noticed Connor held one of Angel's swords, and walked over to him.

"Yeah, cool. Let's just get back to the hotel. We got what we needed," Buffy told him as she turned around and walked out of the alley.
