Chapter 1

Legacy pt. 1

A dark figure wearing a fedora styled hat and a brown overcoat ran quickly through a foreboding dark jungle at night. Ducking pass trees and jumping over stumps, his dirty old brown duster billowed behind him, as he came to a stop to take in his surroundings.

Every time he turned he heard snippets of the sounds of the jungle. Even though he had his hat pulled down covering part of his face, as the pale moon light shone on him, one could tell that he was just a young man with a five o'clock shadow.

Hearing a ceremonial drumbeat and chanting in the distance, he was off once again. Coming into a clearing he saw five figures in dark robes standing over a woman, who was lying on an altar with dark hair wearing a similar white robe. Seeing that one of the figures was about to plunge a knife into her, he threw open his overcoat and whipped out two twin silver revolvers and opened fire.

As all the bodies dropped from the onslaught of bullets that ripped through them, the man with the overcoat on ran over to the girl who was still stuggling against her bonds.

"What the hell took you so long dweeb?" Cordelia asked as Xander put away his guns and pulled out a long knife.

"Why can't I ever get a thanks for saving my butt Xander?" he asked as he started to cut through the rope. "Why do you always have to nag?"

"I see that I was right for bringing you two here." said a feminine voice from the shadows. Sitting up off of the altar Cordelia and Xander saw an old woman, wearing an all black dress emerge out of the shadows.

She looked outwardly harmless, almost like a grandmother type, but the both of them could also sense a huge amount of power radiating off of her.

"Who the hell are you?" Xander asked as he pulled out one of his revolvers, pulled back the hammer and aimed it at her.

"I am merely a friend, Alexander." she said waving a hand in front of him, making his gun dissappear.

"What the..."

"This is the dream world, Alexander. Nothing here is real." she explained as she walked closer to them. "I don't have much time so I must embark my gifts onto you both."

"What are you talking about?" Cordelia asked as she stood behind Xander. Finally the haze cleared from her mind and the last thing she remembered was going on a road trip with Xander, having a car accident, and then waking up here.

"I brought the both of you here, to my time to make sure a vision I had wouldn't come true."

"But why not send for Buffy?" Xander asked as he rubbed at the back of his head. "She's the hero."

"How much you doubt yourselves." she said as she started to fade in and out. "Now I haven't much time." she said as she spread her hands out over their chests. As she did so a reddish glow seemed to emmant from her fingertips.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Giving you back the powers of the spirits of the animal and the warrior." she informed him. "And I give you what's left of my gypsy powers and when the both of you awaken, you will remember nothing of our time together."

Before Xander or Cordelia for that matter could protest about not wanting to be there, they both dissappeared into thin air. With a smile on her face, the old woman looked at the spot where the children once stood and let out a soft sigh.

"Now things will go as it should." she said aloud before vanishing herself.

Letting out a groan and a wince Xander rolled over in his firm bed, finally coming out of his fit of dreams.

'Bed?' he thought to himself as he forced his eyes open. As a steady stream of light shone on his face he quickly closed them. As he tried to move his arm, he felt bandages covering it and his forehead. 'Great, I must be in the hospital again. Now what the hell is going on?'

Feeling a certain kind of warmth coming from beside him, he turned over in bed opened his eyes and stared directly into Cordy's face. Startled she let out a loud scream before sitting up in bed.

"Xander what the hell are you doing in my bed!" she screeched out, making them both wince with the sound of her voice.

"Your bed?" he asked as both of them got out of the bed. "I don't know what's going on but..."

"What is all the screaming about?" a tall man asked as he rushed into the room. Looking up, Xander was about to laugh as he saw how Giles like the man's clothes were. But the look in the man's eyes were stern, almost like his father's and that unnerved him a little.

"Um sorry buddy." Xander apologized as he took a step back. "Me and Cordy never woke up in bed together before and her bad morning breath scared me a little."

"Hey!" Cordelia shouted defensively as she slapped him on the back of the head.

"Do you mind telling us where we are?" Xander asked as he rubbed at the back of his head and looked about the small room. He saw trinkets and items that he knew belonged in museums.

"Forgive me for my rudeness, I am Daniel of the Kalderash people." the man said with a slight bow. "And I brought you into my home, last night after your...accident."

Xander was about to comment on the man's last name, because it seemed familiar to him, but the word accident seemed to spark last night's memory into his mind.

"Aww, man your car is totally trashed." Cordelia said as she touched what was left of the cars hood as all three of them walked outside. The thing was totally wrapped around the tree and it didn't look as if it was fixable.

"It looks like this trip is officially over. Damnit!" Xander yelled in outrage as he kicked a wheel on the passengers side. He had been planning this trip since forever, but now...

"Look on the bright side." Cordelia started as she touched him on the shoulder. "At least we're not too far from Sunnydale."

"Yeah, but still...listen mister can we use your telephone?" Xander asked Daniel. "It looks like I have to call a tow truck, so we can get towed back to Sunny D."

As he said that Daniel just looked at him blankly, as if Xander had lost his mind. Noticing that look, because Giles and the others had given it to him a thousand times, Xander then knew that something was wrong. Taking another look around at the trees and the houses he could make out in the distance, he immediately knew that he wasn't in California. Granted he had never been to every part of the California area, but none the less judging from what the man was wearing, the way he spoke, and the area itself all seemed foreign to him.

Looking back at Cordy, who was looking at him in annoyance, he was about to joke that he didn't think they were in Kansas anymore but he decided to act a little more serious for the moment. Looking back at Daniel he decided to ask the question.

"Where are we?"

Xander sat in Daniel's living room, holding onto Cordy who was lying her head on his shoulder softly sobbing. Daniel had just broken it to them that they were now in Borsa Romania in the year 1898 and she took it the hardest. They in turn told him that they were from the future and he acted as if it didn't matter.

'And why should it had of mattered to him?' Xander asked himself. 'He wasn't the one taken out of his time.'

"Hey Cor it's gonna be alright." he whispered to her as her tears started to subside. "I'll figure out a way to get us out of this."

"You!" Cordy snapped as she looked up at him. "This is all your fault in the first place."

"Me?" he asked increduously. "What did I do?"

"Icky wierd things always happen to you and your loser friends. I should have known not to come with you."

"You can't possibly blame all of this on me."

"Watch me."

"I hate to disturb you both." Daniel said as he walked into the room dressed all in black and carrying a cup and a saucer. He had asked them both if they were a couple and they said no, but as he stood at the living room entrance door watching them, he could tell that the two were in love. "But here is your tea." he said handing it to Cordelia.

"Thank you."

"You're quite welcome my dear." he replied as he sat down in a chair across from them. "I want the both of you to accompany me to a ceremony later on tonight. I'm going to talk to the elders of our clan and see if they can get you back home."

"What kind of ceremony is it?" Xander asked.

"It's a...it's a burial ceremony." the older man said uncomfortably. "For my mama."

"I'm sorry to hear about that." Xander told him sympathetically. "I've lost a few friends along the way, so I kinda know how you feel." he said thinking about Jesse, Miss Calendar, and Kendra.

"It's alright." Daniel said waving off what he was saying. "She was getting old and her health was poor. And believe me she's in a far better place then this." he said looking up at the heavens, before standing to his feet. "Now come along, we have a ceremony to get too and I also want you to meet my daughter."

"Alright then." Xander said as he and Cordelia stood to their feet. "We'll go to what's left of my car to get out our clothes to find something a little better to wear." he said as he looked down at his gaudy hawaiin shirt and Cordelia's daisy duke shorts. "Somehow I don't think the clothes we have on are appropriate for a funeral."

"I see." Daniel said as he eyed his clothes with distaste. "When you come back in, I'll show you where to change your...clothing."

As Daniel watched the two walk out of the house, he silently wondered why having them here was a big mistake.

In another part of Romania

Sametime

A beautiful noble woman with long curly blonde hair stared into a fire she had just made lost in thought. Even though she no longer needed the warmth of the fire, just staring into it made her think of the passion she had shared with the man she had so hatefully turned away only a few days ago.

'Angelus.'

"Mommy." a woman's voice called out from behind her.

"Oh, Dru you startled me." Darla said as she instinctively placed her hand over her unbeating heart.

"Mommy, where is daddy?" the insane vampiress asked. "I had horrible visions about him and I saw bad people taking him away from us."

"They were bad people indeed." Darla said thinking. "And Drusilla, I already told you that 'daddy' is gone." Darla really hated it when Drusilla referred to her as her mother, but to get her to do as she said was worth it.

"Is daddy now an Angel?" Dru asked sadly as she pulled Darla into a hug.

"He's not dead and certainly no angel." Darla replied not getting her true meaning. Suddenly the front door opened, exposing streams of light into the room, as a man half on fire and smoking ran in with a blanket covering over his upper body.

"Fire!" he yelled in a british accent as he tossed the blanket to the floor and began stamping on it.

"William stop that foolishness!" Darla yelled at him. "Now did you find where the gypsy tribe is or not?"

"First of all luv, the names Spike." he replied putting on his cocky front. "And secondly yeah, I found your precious little tribe. I had to kill a few blokes and a half demon to get the information but I got it."

"How far away is this place?" she asked as she walked up to him.

"If we leave tonight, we should be there in about a day and a half."

"Ohhh..." Drusilla suddenly wailed and just like that Spike was at her side.

"What is it luv?" he asked as he got her to sit down in a nearby chair. "Is my pet having a vision?"

"Is it about, Angelus?" Darla asked.

"No!" Drusilla almost yelled out as she began to wiggle her hands frightfully. "My kitten and his queen are 'ere. They're going to change things. Change things to make us pay."

"Um...yeah." Darla started with a roll of her eyes. 'What the hell does a cat have to do with anything?' "We're going to leave tonight and when we get there, if we don't get what I want we kill everything."

"You're the boss." Spike said with a shrug. A good old fashioned massacre never hurt anyone. "Now come on Dru, let's get some sleep." he said dragging her by the arm.

"No, mommy...mommy!" she yelled out as she reached out for Darla to take her hand. She had to warn her of the things she saw.

"Just go to sleep, Drusilla." Darla said calmly and in a motherly tone. "Children." she said under her breath as Drusilla got out of sight. Feeling fatigued herself, she walked towards her room in the inn, thinking all the way about the things she was going to do to the gypsies if they didn't undo their curse.

A/N the last scene with Dru, Spike, and Darla takes place a few days after Angelus was changed into Angel.
