Surrounded Chapter 2

A/N: the first chapter was a little too short, hopefully this one is better. I'd also like to say thank you to all the people who reviewed the first chapter.

Angel's POV

When I saw her standing there surrounded by all those vampires, I couldn't just stand there and watch her get hurt. There was no way that she would've been able to take on all those vampires by herself. I quickly made my way over to the crowd of vampires which were surrounding Buffy; I withdrew my knives that were hidden in the sleeves of my black coat. I dug the blades into one of the vampires' back in an angle that would directly penetrate its heart. The vampire exploded, leaving behind a pile of ashes. I looked up from the pile of ashes and saw Buffy looking at me.

As soon as I saw her all of my feelings for her came rushing back, the dust in the air lingered between us from the staking which had occurred just moments ago. I looked into her eyes brown eyes, instantly remembering the erotic memories I had shared with her of my experience as a human in Los Angeles. I stepped towards her; I could sense her breathing deeply, each breath she took escalated. Using my vampire abilities, in a blur I was on the other side of the crowd of vampires, my hand was clasped around one of its necks, instantly decapitating it. I looked at Buffy once more, and she looked at me. It was as if we were sending telepathic messages to each other, we both turned around and begin throwing punches. We continuously fought our way to freedom, throwing a lot of left punches here and there sending a few vampires flying to the floor with forceful kicks, using any material that came into our hands as weaponry we gradually defeated them. Each vampire that decided to take us on ended up as a pile of ashes which gradually got blown away in the night breeze.

After all the vampires were dust there was a moment of silence between us neither of us knew what to say to each other after such a long time. Normal people would catch up but there was so much tension and chemistry between us.

"Angel!" She said sounding surprised and out of breath at the same time. "What are you doing here? In Sunnydale? Aren't you meant to be in LA? Is there an apocalypse coming that I don't know about?" she continued to bombard me with her questions. I missed this, her endless ramblings; they always seemed to occur when she was nervous or didn't know what to say. I stood there grinning, watching her talk. She looked at me and said "What? Do I have something on my face?" I couldn't help but laugh she just made me feel so alive again. She was one of the very few people I could be myself around. "No, there's nothing on your face." I said trying to suppress a laugh. "And to answer one of your many previous questions, I was passing by and decided to drop by to see how you were. You know what they say... Long time, no see." She smiled. She was so beautiful, it gave me a heartache each time I looked her, how could I have let that go. No! I had to stop that train of thought. I did what was best for her. It was the right thing to do, even if it was the hardest thing I had to do in the 150 years of being the only vampire in history to have a soul.

"Let's go back to my place, it's late I don't want you going back to LA at this time of night." she said "Even if you are a vampire." she quickly added as if she had just suddenly remembered that I possess superhuman abilities.

We talked over the long walk we had before we were able to reach Buffy's house. It had changed a lot since I had last been here, but in some ways it was just the same as the first time I had been invited in here. Ironically it was right after I had saved Buffy from meeting her terrible fate with the three, who were the Master's henchmen.

"Giles? Giles are you home?" Buffy called as we walked into the living room.

"Buffy, how was tonight's slaying?" Giles said before looking up from his books and seeing Angel standing next to Buffy. "Angel? What are you doing here?" he continued.

"It's funny how everyone who sees me ends up asking me that!" I said grinning.

We spent the rest of the evening catching up and remembering old times, all the slayings and memories that we shared. Eventually Buffy released that we should tell Giles about the vampires we slayed. "There could be some mystical energy brewing somewhere in Sunnydale." She said "It wouldn't be the first time its happened." She added.

Together we told Giles all the details, about the vampires. He got that worried look that he always had when he said he would "consult his books" he went over to the book shelves; it looked as if he was looking for a specific book. He pulled one of the shelves, thoroughly scanning the pages before him. "Ah!" he said.

"Ah?" Buffy repeated sounding worried about the news Giles was about to discover. Angel remembered how predictable Giles always was.

"It seems that the Hellmouth is throwing us a new obstacle to overcome; it begins with a large number of vampires but it escalates into something bigger, this isn't the first time it has happened in Sunnydale. I must contact the council as soon as possible. This time it seems that it there is more than one type of demon coming to face us!" Giles exclaimed.

"More than one!" Buffy said. I decided it was my turn to intervene.

"Is there anything else you can tell us about what this upcoming evil is?" I said trying to gather more information.

"Well this will need some detailed research for us to find out exactly what it is but I can tell you this, whatever it is that's coming, it will result in a lot of deaths and severe casualties!"
