Seeing The Truth.

Angel jealously watched from Wesley office Cordelia and Groo. He couldn't believe how close he was about it tell Cordelia how he felt the night before, when Groo showed up.

God he hated that man. Groo had only been in Cordelia's life once, for like three days before last night, and that was in another dimension. But now watching them you would of thought they had known each other longer, that they knew each other inside and outside. But they didn't.

He was the one who knew her the best, and it should have been him holding and kissing her, not Groo.

Angel let out a big sigh and turned away from the scene that was unfolding, more kissing and hugging. Angel's eyes fell upon Wesley who still had his nose in a book, trying to figure out the prophecy in front of him

.

            "Don't worry Angel! She come around!" Angel stared at Wesley 'he couldn't be that oblivious about how he thought about Cordelia could he?' Angel question himself.

Wesley finally looked up from the book he was reading, and noticed Angel was again staring at Cordelia and Groo. He was growling every time Groo touched Cordelia. Wesley got up from where he was sitting and went over and stood next to Angel.

            "You do know Cordelia is in love with you too, she's just scared. And when she was Groo coming down the stairs after the Ballet, she thought it was a sign that you and her were never suppose to be together."

            "You don't know that?" Angel spoke while sighing.

"Yes I do, I know how much she loved you Angel. How could she chose Groo over you?"

"But she has chosen. She's with him, not me." Angel shouted at Wesley, but not loud enough for anyone else in the hotel to hear.

"Has she? Look at what his wearing Angel. The Barbie has dressed her Ken doll to look like a certain best friend of hers." Wesley retorted back to Angel.

Angel looked closely at Groo and noticed how Cordelia had dressed him.

            "His dressing like me!"

            "Exactly!"

            "But that doesn't mean anything!"

            " It's a proven fact that a woman will dress the man that she is dating as if he is the man she is in love with, but not dating. Whether or not she knows she is in love with him."

            "So does she know or not, that she may love me?"

Wesley looked back over the last couple of months determine to answer Angel question.

            "I think no, she thinks that you can't get physical in a relationship. And that's one thing Cordelia, hell any human needs in a relationship as well as love. So I think she probably doesn't realise how she feels about you."

            "But you do?"

            "Well I think I do, she rather would open up to you then any of us. She likes spending time with you, and the way she just interacts with you, she doesn't interact like that around Gunn, Fred and me."

            "Interact?"

            "Yes she flirts with you, but she doesn't know it, and do you know what you flirt back?"

"Yes Wesley I guess I do flirt with Cordy, but I'm sure she hasn't flirted back."

Wesley sighed in frustration

.

            "Angel I give you three words, love is blind. You never see what's really happening in front of you because love sees things in a different light. But the people around the person can see what's really happening because they're not the one in love."

Katherine was summoned to the presence of the Powers, the elders to be exact and that worried her. She had never been summoned to see the elders since she had died that the hands of her brother, who happen to be one of the Powers warriors, Angel. And when the elders summoned you, you knew had they had an important mission for you. Katherine had been on many missions for the powers since she died, and the best thing about it was when ever the mission involved you going to earth, you aged. Though she had died at nine, because of all the missions she had been to Earth for, she had aged. She now looked 22 years old.

Katherine approached the temple where the elders held their meetings; she slowly made her way though the archway. She walked into the middle of a large room, which was circle in shape; the elders sat down on chairs and formed a circle around her.

"Child we have an important mission for you to go on!" The elders spoke altogether, like they were sharing the same mind.

"What will I be doing?"

"Firstly you need to know this, the warrior Angel is in pain!" Katherine was confused, as she was just watching Angel, watching what happen on earth if you didn't have a mission was kind of a hobby for Katherine.

"You are confused, we can understand that! We know you watch him and his friends; you seem to be the only one who does, that's why we chose you for this mission. He may not look like he is in pain, but he is. His soul is in pain, weeping, as he soul believes it has lost its mate. Child do you know what happens to a soul if it weeps too much?"

"It dies! Are you saying if Angel doesn't get his soul mate back his soul will die and become Angelus again?"

"No my child, there is something Angel doesn't know. His soul is permanent, meaning if the soul dies so does his mind!"

"Your saying he wouldn't turn soulless instead he would die."

"Yes! And we can't allow that to happen, he is important to us. His soul mate is his seer, but she seems to have chosen other warrior to be with instead of her warrior. This was not suppose to happen, the warrior and seer are connected, if a warrior and seer are different gender they are connected by more then the visions. The heart, the soul, and the mind connect them as well. This other warrior has to go, you need to convince the seer she has chosen wrongly. Set her on her true path, if need be you can tell them about you, Angel's soul and us. Do what ever is necessary my child."

"I will go immediately." Katherine walked out temple and made her to the exit of the Powers realm.

Katherine was expelled out of the portal at a high speed; she hit her head hard against a wall not far from the portal. Katherine was immediately knocked unconscious.

            "Miss, are you okay?" Katherine heard someone asking her, but it sound like that they were shouting at her from a distance. Katherine groaned and slowly moved to a sitting position.

            "Hey, take it easy it looks like you hit your hit quite hard. My name's Detective Kate Lockley, can you tell me yours?"

            "I'm…. I'm…. I don't know."

            "You don't know? Or wouldn't tell?"

            "No I mean I don't know?"

            "You mean you can't remember?" Katherine nodded her head

            "What do you remember?" Katherine thought hard before answering.

            "Nothing!"

End of part one.
