Disclaimer- Angel, Buffy, etc don't belong to me.

Sorry i'm late! No I don't plan to end it any time soon. I've just been busy. When I first originally planned out the plot it was supposed to end around chapter twelve, but that was durring the Summer and I have new ideas mwahahahahaha. So it's not going to end any time soon. :)

1753 Ireland

Angelus cocked his head, looking at his own grave. 1727-1753. His life as a human, was over forever. Yet he felt very much alive, for the first time. Darla smiled at him. He was Liam no more, but then, who was he? What was he? At the moment, he didn't care. A powerful thirst for blood over powered him, and he knew just who he wanted to taste. He was human, no longer, and he wanted to destroy anyone who reminded him of his human life. He would kill the ones he once cared about dearly, his family. Angelus smiled at the thought. He stood in front of his house for a few minutes. Darla had filled him in on some information. He had to be invited in. He knocked on the door, putting on his human face. His sister Katherine answered the door. She gasped.

"Liam?"she exclaimed. Angelus smiled.

"It's me baby sister,"he said quietly.

"You must be an angel!"she said smiling happily.

"An Angel?"Angelus said and smiled to himself. "Can I come in?"

"Yes, come on in Liam!"she said smiling happily.

"Thanks, I'm starving,"he said, vampire fangs coming out. Katherine gasped and took a step back.

"L-Liam?" Angelus grabbed her and sunk his teeth deep into her neck, tasting the rich blood. She screamed. He could feel her dieing, and felt powerful. Katherine choked out her last words, "I forgive you." Angelus dropped her, she was dead before she hit the ground but he stared at her oddly. He shrugged, licked blood off his lips and went to go find his mother, casting one last look at his sister.

present day
"Angel?" Gunn said looking at Angel with worry. It was a few days later, and they were trying to track Angelus but with the slayers gone, they couldn't look under every nook and cranny, still there was a lot of power in Angel investigations and the scoobies.

"He's brooding,"Lorne said with a shake of his head. "Angelcakes you really need to stop blaming yourself for everything Angelus does,"Lorne said looking sad. Angel had been quiet and brooding ever since Nina was killed. He had actually been able to attend her funeral, in the day, and he had to contact her family. Since then he sat quietly brooding most of the time.

"You know,"Willow said wiping green goo off her shirt, "When Angel was in Sunnydale he was a lot less brooding."

"What happened to you?"Conner said with a smirk.

"Demon,"Willow replied.

"At least we have good business,"Wesley said looking at Angel with a frown. Buffy waved her hand in front of Angel's face.

"Earth to Angel!"Buffy said. Angel looked up and smiled. Buffy shook her head.

"Stop blaming yourself,"Buffy said.

"I can't help it. He's me,"said Angel.

"He's not you. He's a demon wearing your face,"Xander said.

"Giles, have you found any information what will happen to me if Angelus dies?"Angel asked.

"Something like this has never happened before. There's no telling what will happen,"Giles said cleaning his glasses. Buffy closed her eyes.

"I don't want Angel to die,"Buffy said.

"I might not,"Angel said.

"I could always put Angelus back inside you,"Illyria offered. Angel looked as if he had tasted something sour.

"I'd rather risk my life first,"Angel said. Angel looked at Willow and Lorne.

"Are they uninvited yet?"Angel demanded.

"Who?"said Lorne looking puzzled. Angel glared.

"Yes, but we are not entirely sure it's possible to un-invite Angelus since he's you,"said Willow. Angel stared.

"Oh them!"said Lorne.

"Well not you, but you. You know what I mean,"Willow said and Angel sighed.

"Sleep with one eye open,"Kennedy said.

"Always do,"Gunn replied.

"You must be an Angel!"

Angel looked up startled. He looked around, looking for the source of the voice. Angel grunted.

"Angel? Whats wrong?"Buffy asked.

"Did any of you hear that?"Angel asked.

"Hear what?"Conner asked.

"Nothing,"said Angel with a frown.

"Man you look like you died. I mean usually that's normal but your human now, is everything okay?"Gunn asked.

"I've been having nightmares a lot. That's all,"Angel said. Wesley looked at Angel concerned.

"What kind of nightmares. Not Angelus nightmares right? The last time that happened Penn came. Any other vampires you sired we should be worried about?"Wesley demanded.

"Drusilla,"Angel muttered but he shook his head.

"It's the same dream over and over. It's of Angelus, and it's more of a memory. When I-he killed my sister.I've had the same dream for the last week,"Angel grunted. However he left one part out. In his dreams, Dawn was always there, looking on with a face full of terror. Than he would drain her blood as well.

"Strange,"Buffy said drinking blood from a coffee mug. Xander shuddered. There was a loud knock on the door.

"Angel investigations we help the helpless come on in,"Gunn said opening the door. Spike walked in. Angel glared at Gunn.

"Oops."

"From now on, no inviting people in until we look at them! Especially after dark!"Angel said grabbing a stake.

"Even I'm not that stupid,"Andrew said looking at Gunn.

"Hey! You clean demon guts out of someones house all day and you see if you think straight!"snapped Gunn. Gwen patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"I come in peace peaches,"said Spike looking at Angel's stake putting his arms up in surrender.

"Did he just call you peaches?"Conner demanded.

"What do you want?"Angel asked ignoring Conner's question.

"I have a pest problem, that needs exterminating,"Spike said lighting up a cigarette.

"Why should we help you?"demanded Dawn.

"The enemy of your enemy is your friend,"Spike replied. Wesley frowned.

"Who are we talking about here?"Wesley asked.

"Angelus?"asked Buffy. Spike snorted. "You don't know how much I'd like that to happen, but then, Dru would be devastated. No, I mean the big, bad, Wolfram and Hart,"said Spike.

"You mean the building laying in rubble?"Angel demanded. Spike nodded. "Well that's a no-brainer," said Angel.

"I vote we shine a light in his ear just to make sure he's not talking about himself,"Spike said. Angel glared.

"Wolfram and Hart is dust in the wind whats the problem?"Angel demanded.

"Lets pretend you are smart gramps,"said Spike.

"Don't call me that!"

"It's only a matter of time until Wolfram and Hart is back and who do you think there going to go after?"Spike asked.

"But we took care of it's fail-safe plan!"Angel said.Spike ignored Angel.

"There going to go after the ones who brought it down. The poof,Gunn,Wesley,Illyria, and most important, yours truly."Spike said.

"Poof?"Conner asked. Angel sighed annoyed.

"I like existing. So you sods better take care of it,"Spike said crossing his arms.

"You came all the way here just to tell us that?"Buffy said.

"Yep,"said Spike and he turned to leave.

"Spike?"Buffy said softly. Spike turned and looked at her.

"Sod off,"he said and headed for the door, and he began humming to the tune of dream a little dream of me and he left. Angel shook his head.

"Uninvite him, again,"Angel said.

"Shouldn't we try and follow him? He could lead us to Angelus!"said Conner.

"Conner he's already long gone,"said Angel with a sigh.

"I could track him,"said Conner.

"Were not ready to take on Angelus,"said Angel.

"Why not? Even though the slayers are gone we still out number them,"said Conner.

"We don't know that for sure. We just can't go barging in right now. We need to think smart,"said Angel with a sigh.

"What about Spike. Who's side is he on?"said Dawn.

"I'm guessing there's considering, he's with them and back with Dru,"said Wesley.

"Well he hasn't tried to kill us, maybe he can still be on our side?"Gunn said.

"He has no soul,"Angel said.

"He worked with them with no soul,"said Gunn pointing to Giles.

"He had a chip. Now he doesn't. He's probably off killing humans now. Human blood makes vampires more violent,"Giles said cleaning off his glasses.

"If he's killing innocents he's no ally to us,"Angel said crossing his arms. He groaned a searing pain coming to his head.

"Angel are you alright?"Dawn asked.

"Fine,"Angel said. Buffy looked at him. Angel forced a smile.

"You must be an Angel!" Angel looked into the face of his younger sister. He face full of hope,relief, and glee. Her brother was alive.

"An Angel?"Angelus said and smiled to himself. Angel cursed himself. He tried to say other words, do different actions but he was compelled to relive the moment as it happened. "Can I come in?"

"Yes, come on in Liam!"His sister said smiling happily. Angel tried to warn her, tried to say something, but the dreaded words came out.

"Thanks, I'm starving,"he said, vampire fangs coming out. Katherine gasped and took a step back.

"L-Liam?" Angel grabbed her and sunk his teeth deep into her neck, tasting the rich blood. She screamed. Angel tried to pull away,once more and than came her last words, those torturing words that wouldn't let him be. but was forced to relive the moment

"I forgive you." and she fell dead. Dawn was standing in the background and she screamed looking at Angel in horror. Angel didn't know when she arrived he tried to warn her and tell her to run, but he was compelled to do Angelus's will. Angel turned towards her licking his teeth and grabbed her sinking is teeth into her neck deeply. As Dawn took her last breath Angel's eyes fell on a clock 12:51 PM. He dropped her dead body to the ground.

"NO!"Angel yelled sitting up in his bead breathing deeply. Buffy sat up next to him looking around.

"What is it? A demon? I kill it,"she said sleepily. Angel took a deep breath. It was only a dream.

"No,"Angel said laying back down, "Just a bad dream."

"Are you sure?" cried a panicked woman. Angel sat in his office, a small twitch coming to his eye. He was staring at a middle aged woman with long red hair that was graying.

"Ever since last year when my husband was attacked by demons we found out demons were real. Are you sure this is normal?"the woman asked.

"It's an ingrown hair! For the last time demons did not lay eggs in your skin! GO HOME!"said Angel exasperated. The woman crossed her arms and didn't seem convinced. "If I see any other odd signs, I'll be sure to call,"she said and left muttering darkly to herself. Angel groaned banging his head on his desk. There was a soft knock on his door and Wesley walked in.

"Angel?"said Wesley. Angel grunted. "How is everything?"

"Well Wes, I haven't slept all week, the only client we've had all day is Miss.ingrown hair, and Angelus,Drusilla, and Spike are lose in the city. I'm just great,"said Angel his voice dripping with sarcasm. Wesley sighed sitting across from his friend.

"Your still having the nightmares?"

"Yes,"said Angel. Wesley looked at Angel concerned.

"It's fine,"Angel said with a sigh.

"Business will pick up, it always does,"said Wesley looking at Angel. Angel nodded. Buffy walked in.

"Any luck on finding how to make you a human?"Angel asked.

"Well, I was thinking I could mix my blood with a regenitive demon,"said Buffy thoughtfully.

"There rare,"Wesley said.

"Maybe I'm just not meant to be human anymore,"Buffy said softly.

"No. You and I are going to both be humans and we will be happy,"said Angel with confidence.

Dawn fell to the ground dead. The clock flashed 12:51 again.

Angel's eyes snapped open. Just another dream. Angel yawned and turned to get comfortable his eyes falling on a clock. 12:51. Angel frowned. That was weird. Angel bit his lip, fear growing inside on him. It wouldn't hurt to check on Dawn would it? Angel got out of bed quietly and made his way towards Dawn room. A scream was heard. Angel broke into a run and threw Dawn's door open.

"Dawn!"Angel yelled. Dawn was gone, the window was open with the curtains blowing in the breeze. On Dawn's bed was an envelope with his name on it. "NO!"
