Author's Note: Hello, everyone! Here we go, chapter 10! Wow, I can't believe I made it this far . . . hopefully, I'll be able to keep it up. Thanks to my reviewers for their many words of encouragement! Here we go . . .!

I was standing in a dark room. Blood surrounded me. I took a shaky step forward and saw two bodies lying on the ground.

"Giles!" I cried. "Xander!" I checked for a pulse, but there was none. They were . . . dead.

"It's your fault Buffy." I turned around and saw Angel smirking at me. "You should've went to the Evolver when you had the chance." He carried another body in his hands.

"Willow!" I sobbed. He dropped her, but it was too late. She was dead too. "Angel, why?"

"No, it's not Angel." The picture faded away. "I'm Angelus."

I jolted upright, shaking and sobbing. Night had fallen in the room and I saw that no one was with me. I jumped up and ran down the hall and burst into the library.

"Is anyone here?" I yelled. "Answer me!" God, was I too late? Was everyone dead?! The door was pushed opened behind me.

"Buffy?" Giles asked. "What's wrong?" I felt so happy that I pulled him into a hug. Giles patted my back. "What is it?" I tried to form a sentence, but I kept sobbing, "Buffy, what happened?"

"I—I had a dream where you were all dead and Angel was—,"

More sobs.

"Angel was?" Giles asked.

"Angelus." He nodded.

"Don't worry, Buffy." Giles said calmly. "Everyone is fine." The door opened again as Angel ran in, panting. Willow and Cordelia were right behind him. Angel took one look at me and quickly embraced me.

"You're not Angelus?" I whispered, just breathing his scent in.

"Angelus?" He asked, shocked. "No, I'm Angel." I felt so relieved that I kissed him and then buried my head into his shirt. I finally lifted my head and met his gaze.

"Everyone's ok?" I mumbled. "No one's hurt?"

"No, no." He replied quickly. He turned to Cordelia. "Is this a side-effect?" Cordelia walked over and put her hand on my forehead.

"How do you feel, Buffy?" She questioned. I thought for a second trying to see if anything felt wrong. For once, I didn't feel any pain. I grinned.

"I feel amazing!" Willow clapped her hands together.

"That's great!" A serious expression crossed her face. "But, what about your dream?" I nodded.

"Giles, this is the second one I've had." I shuddered. "Do you think that it might actually—,"

"Come true?" Came another voice. I gasped and saw the Evolver flipping pages of a book. He smiled as I met his gaze. "You look well." Angel clutched me tighter.

"What do you want?" He hissed. "Buffy's well now, you can't touch her!"

"True," He agreed. "But, do you know how long that will last?" He pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it to Giles. "That's one the worst amulets I have ever seen. I broke through its spell in about two seconds." He descended the stairs and came face to face with me.

"Go away," I growled. "Leave me alone." He chuckled.

"See, my dear Buffy, that's something I can't do." He patted my head. "You're my ticket out of here." He glanced at Angel and then chuckled. "Funny. You'd think a Slayer would slay Vampires instead of date them. Especially, one that could lose his soul at any time." I shivered.

"That won't happen," Angel said confidently.

"Sure, it won't." The Evolver mocked. He walked up the stairs. "By the way Buffy," He smirked at me. "Are you getting the message?" I titled my head and suddenly got it.

"You're the one sending the dreams?!" I yelled.

"Dreams?" He asked, offended. "They're warnings." With that, he vanished. I looked up at Angel and clutched him closer to me. I couldn't seem to stop my body from shaking.

"What do we do now?" I asked him.

"I—," He looked down at me and kissed the top of my head. "I don't know."

Neither did I.
