Kim woke up the next morning in Angels' bed under the covers. Angel was gone but Kim was a little to surprised to care that much. She got dressed and went home. She walked in the door her mom was still upstairs and Kim went up to take a shower and get ready for school. The good thing that happened was that Gretchen was on a vacation so that was good and her mom was asleep. She headed to school in a weird mood and very jumpy. She went to the library and Giles was there with the others. She sat down and just waited to hear what they had to say. Giles was concerned about Kim, She was acting strange and no one knew why. Kim went right home after school that day and no one knew where she was. She walked home and she stopped at the bookstore before she went home to delay time then she walked home. She walked in and her family was all there.

"Where were you?" Her mother asked when she walked into the room.

"The book store to relax," She said plainly starting to walk up the stairs.

"You relax at a book store," Her cousin said everyone in her family thought it was weird that books made her relax.

"You got a problem with that," She snapped at her cousin. She was not in the mood for anything right at the moment.

"What is wrong?" Her mother asked putting her hand on Kim's arm but Kim backed away.

"Like you care," She said as she ran up the steps into her room and locked the door.

"Mikayla Kimberly White you get down here right now," her mother yelled up after her but it was no use.

"No," She said as she turned on her stereo and cranked it up so loud that she could only hear the music and no one heard her crying.

She heard a faint knock on the door as she turned the stereo off and opened the door to see her cousins standing there

"Can we talk?" One of the girls said to her walking into the room.

"I don't want to talk about it, you wouldn't understand," She said walking over to the window and looking outside

"We would we all went through this," Another cousin said sitting on Kim's bed.

"Through what?" Kim asked she had hoped that they were not on the same subject.

"You know what," Her cousin said she Kim knew that they were on the same subject.

"Kim you are a great girl and we don't want to see you hurt," Her other cousin said looking over to Kim.

"There are a lot of things going on right now," She said meaning the slaying and Angel.

"Then you need to talk about them," Another cousin said he was thinking about the thing with Angel.

"Alright," She said sobbing as they all sat down and started to talk and they promised that nothing that was said would ever leave the room.

"KIM!" Her mother yelled up a few minutes later

"YES!" She yelled back she knew her mother wanted to talk to her so she decided to get up and walk over to the door.

"There is someone here for you," She said as Kim ran down the steps to see Buffy, Spike and Giles in the doorway.

"What is it?" She asked she was shocked to see them there.

"Emergency, Involving the Angelic face," Giles said referring to Angel and what had happened to him.

"What?" She asked knowing what he was talking about.

"Come on Kim there is something we want to show you," Buffy said as Kim walked out without saying goodbye.

"He is not the same Kim, Be careful," Buffy said she knew Angel had become evil again.

"I can't believe this happened again," Xander said meaning the last time with Buffy.

"You mean this happened before," Kim said she did not know about the time with Buffy.

"Yes," Buffy said looking over to Spike who was sitting talking to Anya.

"What do I do?" She asked she started to look anywhere but at Buffy and the others.

"Well you have to… try to reason with him and if that does not work fight," Giles Replied he did not want to tell her she had to kill him.

"Alright," She said "I will find him and try to end this," she said picking up a sword and heading out the door but Josh stopped her.

"You're going to need help finding him," Josh said running up to her.

"Your right, I will take you guys and Willow can you try the restoration spell. Josh you and Brittany help Willow, Xander, Spike and Buffy stay here to keep watch, Jessica stay with them and Giles they are going to need your help. Everyone else we will split up I will go alone," She said as they split up. She found Angel and they fought then he said that he was not after her but someone else and that she was stupid to leave the library. She ran back as soon as possible and found Jessica dead then the cops came.

"Freeze," One of them yelled as she stood up

"I did not do it, I just got here," She said standing up with her hands up.

"There is another one," Another cop said pointing to the book shelves where Josh was laying. Buffy Spike and Xander were lying against the wall knocked out Giles was gone and Willow was on the floor. Brittany was not there and Kim got scared.

"Josh," she said trying to get to him but the cop pulled her back and walked her out of the room.

"I just want to know if my friends are alright," she said trying to get back to the library.

"Kim White, if there is trouble she is behind it," The principle said walking down the hall

"Principle Fisher you know I didn't do it," She said looking at him in his beady little eyes.

"Alright you have the right to remain," the cop started but Kim kicked him into the lockers and knocked him out then started running. She ran to her house and snuck into her room grabbed a long coat and a hat and snuck back to the hospital. She found Josh in the hall and he saw cops coming and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Thanks, what's wrong?" she asked looking at his face

"Come here," He said pulling her into a room where she saw Brittany laying in the bed with her head and arm bandaged.

"This is entirely my fault, I have to do something," She said hugging Josh and running out. She ran almost all the way home until she ran into a cop but someone knocked the cop out cold.

"Rick? " She asked as she kicked and punched him. He dodged them and then she stopped noticing him he was not fighting back.

"Look you want the same thing I want," He said catching her hand when she went to hit him in the face.

"What is that?" She asked putting her hand down and looking at Rick.

"To kill Angel," He said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah and where do you come in," She said backing up a bit just incase.

"I want Darcy you kill angel and let us go," he said moving a step closer to her.

"Why should I trust you?" she asked looking all around to see if anyone was around that could hear her and Rick talking.

"Because we want the same thing and I want Darcy," He said noticing she was not looking at him but to see if anyone was going to attack her. She seemed even more jumpy then before.

"Fine," She said agreeing and then she turned to walk away.

"Then lets go," he said that and they headed to her house. Her mother saw her walking up to the house and she got out of the car and ran to her.

"Thank goodness you're alright," She said hugging Kim and looking over to Rick.

"Mom can we get inside?" She asked looking nervous.

"Who's your friend?" She said still looking at Rick.

"This is Rick," Kim said pointing to him and then she turned to walk towards the house but her mother stopped her.

"Nice to meet you now what is going on?" Her mother said to Rick then looked back to Kim.

"It's a long story, Let's get in," She said walking up to the door followed by her mother then out of nowhere a vampire came and attacked her mother and she pulled him away and Rick punched him and Kim dusted him.

"What is going on?" her mother asked in a shocked voice.

"Mom, I'm a vampire slayer," She said flatly. Walking up to her mother.

"What?" Her mother asked in shock at what her daughter had just said.

"Let's get in," She said inviting Rick in and her family was still there and she went into the kitchen to call to see how Brittany was and then came into the living room where everyone was along with Rick.

"Talk," She said walking over to Rick who had just got up out of his seat.

"You come in I grab Darcy, you kill Angel and stop the end of the world," He said looking into her eyes then away.

"Angel?" Her mother asked she did not know about him yet.

"Kim's boyfriend," Her one cousin said and Kim shot him a mean look.

"Shh, What about Giles?" Kim said looking back to Rick.

"He should be fine," He said looking towards the door.

"Then go and Rick," She said turning around as Rick started to walk out.

"Yes?" He said turning around to look at her.

"If Giles Dies she Dies," She said as Rick walked out and everyone stared at her while she walked away.

"Kim you are not leaving this house, I am going to call the police and tell them you are innocent," Her mother said grabbing Kim's arm but Kim pulled away.

"If you get them involved they will get killed and I won't risk that," She said

"Kim you are staying here end of discussion," Her mother said walking in front of Kim.

"No, If I don't go the world will end," she said and her mother grabbed her arm and Kim pushed her and walked to the door. The rest of her family still watching her.

"If you walk out this door don't you even think of coming back," Her mother yelled and Kim walked out. Not looking back she had a smile on her face. She was finally free from them. She hoped.

Kim walked into the library and grabbed the sword Jessica had given her earlier. Then the principal walked in.

"These are the times you want to savor, Your Expelled," He said happily and Kim looked at him with a straight face.

"You never had a single date when you were younger did you?" She said pulling out a sword and pointing it to his face then lowering it.

"What does that have to do with this?" He asked and she just walked past him and then walked out. Kim made it to the where house where they were and Josh ran into her to tell her to kick Angel's butt. He did not say anything about the restoration spell Willow was performing. Kim walked in and immediately started to fight. Rick took Darcy with him while Angle and Kim fought. Angel had tried to awaken Acatha again and he was fighting Kim with the sword and Kim was loosing then they made it back to Acatha and Angel fell to the ground. His eyes shined gold then he looked at Kim who was about to kill him with the sword.

"Kim, what happened?" He asked hugging her and kissing her neck.

"Nothing just hug me," She said and then Acathas' mouth opened. It was too late.

"Close your eyes," Kim said to Angel as she started to cry a as she kissed him and drove the sword right into his stomach. She backed up and said I love you then he was gone and she started Crying very hard as she walked away. She walked back to her house and snuck in through the window. She packed her things said goodbye to the six babies then set a note on her bed and climbed out the window. It was the morning already and school would start soon. She walked towards the school and she watched her friends walk into school and then walked to the bus station. She did not want to stay there anymore so she decided to leave. She bought a one way ticket to L.A. and then she was gone.
