Warning: Hello everyone, again this is a fic I wrote ten years ago, and I just found it along with the others. The only difference is that this one wasn't finished, beside the fic am writing right now "The Hated End' this one is my favorite, so if you like it let me know, and I'll work on it after I finish the Hated End. So you know I don't like working on two fics at the same time, it simply confuses me, so it will be a long wait for this one to finished, because The Hated End is going to be a very big and very complicated fic to write for me at least : ), and this one is only half way finished and it is a big fic and I have no Idea where I stopped, I only know where I wanted to go, but as far as the details I can't remember a thing hehe. So if you enjoy it, and want it finished the best way is to do that is let me know you like it. Now you have been warned, and if you aren't ready for a long wait, and a small possibility that it will never get finished don't go beyond this point.

Warning 2: as I have said I wrote these stories a long time ago and I didn't use word, so the formatting and some other things are out of sync with word processer, so there are things that are a little messed up, am trying to fix whatever I can, so please forgive me if there are huge mistakes.
Rating: NC-17, for sex, and a little torture later on.

Part 1

As Buffy walked her way to the Bronze she thought of what her mother, and
that Librarian told her. Where do they get off talking to her like that?
First was the librarian, telling her all about her, and her duties. He
didn't know how it felt to be 16, and have the weight of the world on your
shoulders. He didn't know how it was not having any friends. How it was
like moving from a place to a place, where you didn't know anyone, where you
had to hide in the shadows, and patrol the cemeteries at night. Looking for
creatures of the night, having to save a person that would probably make fun
of her at school the next day. No he didn't know.

And there was her mom, giving her a lecture about how good it was here, how
they could make it work here. She thinks that it was her fault that she
got kicked out of school. She didn't know if she hadn't burned the gym down,
that all of the kids and maybe all of L.A. would have been dead. No she
didn't know, no one knew how it felt to have the weight of the world on your shoulders.

It doesn't matter though; she isn't going to listen to that Giles guy. She
was here to be a normal girl. She has done her duty, she saved the world.
It's someone else's turn now. It's her time now; she is going to have fun
tonight. She will meet some of her friends at school, some potential friends
at least. That Willow girl really sounded nice.

Just as Buffy finished her thoughts, she felt it. Somebody was following
her, or maybe it was something. Buffy saw an alley up a head, she knows it
would be a perfect place to ambush whatever was following her.

Buffy made her way into the alley before the thing or person that was
following her could catch up with her. She looked around trying to find the
perfect place for her ambush. Buffy spotted a poll connecting the two
buildings. Buffy jumped up and caught herself on the poll, she swung herself
letting her momentum carry her to the top of the poll, giving her an
advantage to kick whoever came after her in the back, dropping it in one
kick.

Buffy could see him now form her position; she couldn't see his face. But
she really didn't need to. His body, his walk, and everything about him
said there is the specimen for mankind. She wasn't fooled though; he had to
be bad if he was following her. And the moment he stepped under the poll
obviously trying to locate she'd disappeared to. But she wouldn't give him the advantage;
Buffy let her body roll trying to kick him in the back. Buffy body swung
from the poll, and just before she could hit the man in the back, she felt
her body slip into something, and then she was gone.

Angel followed Buffy the moment she left her house. He was her guardian, her protector. The moment she left her house, Angel knew something
was on her mind. It really didn't take a genius to figure that out. He had
known of her calling before she herself even knew. Once he saw that
beautiful girl on that sunny day in L.A. He knew he had to protect her. He
knew the moment he saw her that he loved her. There was no doubt about it,
just as he knows that if he were Angelus that he would try to kill her, or
worse even change her to be with him forever. The latter sacred him the
most, for he knew that Angelus would never let such a masterpiece get away
from him. He was obsessed with Dru for her innocence, and Buffy had so much
more innocence in her, that it made Dru at her best look evil. That is what
had drawn him to her, and it was the same thing that would have drawn
Angelus, the most evil vampire in history.

"Shit" Angel said between his teeth, he knew the moment Buffy went into that
alley that he had been spotted. He knew he had been carless,
for there was no one that could ever sense him following them. He was even
more impressed with girl that he was supposed to protect.

Angel stepped into the alley hoping he could spot her before she hid, but he
saw no sign of her. Angel made his way into the middle of the alley hoping
he could get a better look. The moment he stopped he could feel the air
shift above him, but it was too late for him to do anything. So he braced
himself for the full impact of the potentially most powerful Slayer ever.
But as suddenly as the air moved it stopped, there was nothing there except
a dark empty alley.

The surprise showed on his face, but no one saw. Angel looked around for
her, but there was no sign of her. Angel turned around and left, feeling
his failure in delivering his first message. Angel knew where to go though,
he had to get the massage to them anyway he could. Her watcher would inform
her. Maybe it was better this way, maybe he could inform her watcher
instead, work with him. There was no need to involve her, it was better
that she know nothing of him. For his love for her would never be. But god
help him he loved her, he wished he could just talk to her just once,
just to look at her perfect face. To see these perfect hazels eyes looking
at him. He just wanted to feel her gaze upon him, which would mean the
world to him. He just wanted no needed one look from her, any look. Just
to feel her eyes on him, he knew that feeling would be the closest thing to
heaven he would ever get.

Angel knew where to find the librarian, so Angel went to his house and
waited for him, he had to show up sometime.

"Mr. Giles?" Angel asked from behind the librarian as he saw him going up
the steps of his house.

Giles turned around to see the person who just spoke his name. "Yes, I am
Rupert Giles, may I help you?" Giles said after his initial surprise at the
person who just materialized behind him. He was trained as a watcher no one
should be able to sneak up on him like that.

"I am here to deliver a massage to you. I was supposed to deliver it to
your Slayer, but she seemed to vanish into thin air when I was following her."

"I...I don't know what you are talking about Mister? And why would you be
following anyone, and what was that you said Slayer?"

"My name is Angel, and there is no need to convince me of anything Mr.
Giles. I know everything, and as I said before am only here to deliver a
massage."

"I told you, I don't know..."

"Mr. Giles, there is no need for all of this. The Harvest is coming, and
unless she stops it, the Master walks. We are standing on the mouth of
hell, and it is about to open. Please deliver the message for me." Angel
said already turning around, he didn't need to stay any longer, surely the
watcher would find him out sooner than later.

"Mr. Angel?" Giles said to the retreating form of the man.

"It's just Angel. May I help you?" Angel said truing around to face the
watcher.

"You said you were following Buffy, where did she go?"

"Am not exactly sure. I think she felt that she was being followed, and
then she led me to an alley. I went after her, and I assure you I mean her no
harm or you. I just wanted to deliver the massage. She ambushed
me, and I could feel the air shift above me, but nothing came, I looked for
her but she wasn't there." Angel said with a smile, proud of the Slayer.

"How do I know you are telling the truth?"

"I wouldn't believe me if I were you, but you know am telling you the truth,
you know where we are. And what is about to happen?"

"I know, I was waiting for her at the Bronze as well, but she didn't show.
She was supposed to. Please come in? My house is right over here" Giles
said wanting to know more about the Harvest, finally finding a source of
information.

Angel just followed Giles, knowing that the curiosity of the watcher over
shadowed his sense of judgment. Watchers weren't a very trusty bunch, and
were always suspicious. And he knew Giles was one of the best. So he
followed the watcher to his house.

"Willow, how is my best bud?" Xander screamed over the music.

"Oh, am good?"

"Have you seen Buffy?"

"No, why are you asking about her?" Willow replied disappointed in Xanders
interest in Buffy.

"Nothing really. Do you know she is a little messed up in the head?"

"Don't say that, she's really nice"

"I know, but I overheard her talking to the librarian, they think she is
like a vampire killer or something"

"Come on Xander, you are making it up"

"No am not, you could ask her if she shows. Or we will ask her tomorrow at
school" Xander said convinced of his theory.

"Awwwww" Buffy said. She felt her body goes through something, and then she
hit the ground hard. "Where the hell did he go?" She said rubbing her back.
She looked around the alley but found no sign of him. She turned around
and walked back out. She was going to the Bronze tonight, and that is
final.

As Buffy walked next to a cemetery on her way to the Bronze she heard the
sound of fighting. "Damn it" She didn't want to be the Slayer, but still
her instincts kicked into gear, she couldn't leave someone to die, if she
could help it.

Buffy came up on a fighting scene, and from the way it looked this person
was in real trouble. There were about 8 vampires circling him, and she knew
that 8 vampires were even too much for any Slayer to take, let alone a
human. Buffy took off running, and as she approach the group, she
got a better look at the person in the middle of the group, she recognized
him as the person that was following her. She doubled her speed to reach
them.

Just before Buffy reached them, she saw one of the vampires leap up in the
air at the person. Just before he reached him, the man turned around delivered
a roundhouse kick to the vampire before he even landed, sending
him flaying to where he came from.

Three other vampires charged him, and they had no better luck, as two of
them were dusted before they even threw a punch at the man. The third one
just flew at the closest tree and was knocked unconscious. Buffy found
herself rooted to the spot, not being able to move, watching with amazement
as the man in front of her dispatched all 8 vampires with all ease. His
technique was flawless, his power was devastating, and his speed was
blinding. She hoped at that moment that she would never come up against
him.

As he turned around her breath caught in her throat. 'Oh god, he is
magnificent, he's perfect. I have never seen anyone look so yummy' Buffy
thought. "Who are you? Why were you following me?"

Surprise showed on his face, but it disappeared too fast, and it was replaced
with a smile. "Slayer" it was all he said.

"What did you say?" Buffy asked already taking a defensive stance.

Angelus shifted to his game face, and shifted back to his human face just as quickly.
"I will let you go this time Slayer. In honor of your return, I will let
you go this time." Angelus said disappearing into thin air.

"What the fuck, was there a bulletin in town hall that the Slayer is in town?" Buffy was surprised to see what just happened in front of her. Did she just see a vampire kill other vampires, no he didn't just kill them he demolished them, what kinda vampire can do this. She needs to know what was going on, she also needed to know why he was following her. And she knows there was only one place she could go and find out.
