Still the night before, while Buffy was trying to escape the hospital.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"

Doyle had come to Angel's hospital room as soon as he was called. He was granted by a very much pissed off Angel, who was holding him by the neck against the door.

"Liam, man…"

Angel pressed his hand around Doyle's neck and spoke softly, growling at the man he knew as a friend.

"TELL ME!"

"Tell you what?"

"Tell me about the woman of my dreams. You… I've been dreaming of her… I… there was always someone there, but I couldn't figure out, couldn't remember… up to now. Who are you?"

Angel pressed Doyle head against the door, but he recoiled in horror as Doyle morphed to his demon visage. He stumbled away from Doyle to the other side of the room.

"What… how… what are you? What do you want? You are not my friend"

"Hey, man… I am a friend. You just do not remember me. Well, you do... just not the other time we hang around. I am sort of your Guardian."

"You are a thing… you are… what are you?"

Angel held his hair and then waved his hand frantically through his hair.

"I… God!… I must be going insane because of the fever. This is crazy. I am going insane! You…you are not here, are you? This is… is… this is all in my head."

Angel ran his hands desperately through his hair. When he finally stared at Doyle, the demon shook his head, going back to his human visage.

"Sorry, mate. I know you are scared. Look… you are not going insane."

"But…"

"Don't interrupt me. We don't have much time. My name is Doyle. To simplify things, I am a demon, a good one."

"This is crazy… I… a demon…?"

"Yeah. Long story short, I am sort of a messenger for the Powers that Be."

"Powers the… what?"

"Look. They are these sort of Gods that is the side of good. Their counterpart are beings called Senior Partners or the Wolf, Ham and Hart if you prepare. They separated you from the girl."

"Why?"

Doyle gave a look to Angel and hesitated for a moment. How he would be able to tell the truth to the vampire in front of him without freaking out the poor unaware man.

"Because you two are warriors for good. You killed a lot of… well… demons… and the Partners wanted you out of their way for some matter we still don't know. However, we know they don't want you dead yet, so there is some other plan for you. Whatever it is, I'll say we will do anything to avoid it to happen. For our luck, the Partners didn't think of the bond formed between you two. That is why you dream about her. You can feel what she is feeling, can't you?"

Angel stared shocked at Doyle.

"How do you…"

"How do I know? You two are the stuff of a legend. A vampire bonded to a human… a vampire slayer. There are all sort of theories. Neither The Powers that Be or the Senior Partners saw that coming or thought of what that would mean to have you two like this. Even with the prophecy. Right now, the Partners' emissaries on Earth, some lawyer in an evil firm, do not even understand what is happening because you too had been boinking each other before the separation and you didn't lose your soul."

"What prophecy? What…. Did you just say a vampire and a slayer? My soul?"

"You caught it, huh?"

Angel was looking at Doyle with wide eyes.

"Are you telling that… I… am a vampire?"

"Yes."

"Now I know you are completely out of your mind! You are crazy. Or I am crazy! I must really be imagining all of this! Me? A vampire? These things are stuff of movies."

"They are real."

"I have a heart beat."

"No. You don't. This is magic… and you have some human device attached to your heart to make it beat. The family you know… they are really not yours."

"This is…"

Suddenly, Angel felt a wave of pain he almost fainted as Buffy's image popped up in his mind. Doyle had to help him to sit on the bed.

"You felt her, didn't you?"

"I saw her. I felt such a wave of pain, fear, distress."

"That is the bond you two share."

"Why is it?"

"Because you bit her."

"WHAT? I would never…"

"You did. Look, I can't tell the tale of your life before the whole mess. The woman you saw. She is… how can I say this… the love of your life. More than that I'd say. She is your soul mate."

"I've never seen her before."

"You have. You just don't remember. You bit her and marked her as yours."

Angel looked horror struck at Doyle. He couldn't have hurt such a beautiful woman? A woman he supposedly loved.

"You have to leave this place and go find her."

"I can't just… You can't just tell me to leave my life to go woman hunting!"

"You need to do it. You have to believe what you are feeling. You have to find a way to leave the hospital without being seen. Your life and hers are hanging in the balance… and the world's fate too."

"I don't know where… "

Then, a thought struck Angel like a lightning.

"Sunnydale?"

"Yes. You should go there. That's where you will find your heart."

"Why are we so special to these beings you talked about? Why didn't you tell me anything before?"

"Look, The Seniors Partners want to harness you and use you two for something we don't know yet. That much we figure. They thought it would be easy. The arrogant bastards just forgot there is something stronger than power, evil or even good."

"What is it?"

"Love, my friend… love."

The next day, while Buffy's mother and the psychiatrist were watching her.

"HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE?"

"We don't know, sir. She was being watched, but she just disappeared."

"Gavin…"

Lindsey grabbed the employee by his suit lapels and spoke trough his teeth, barely controlling his rage.

"This building has every security form know to men… and demons… how come that damn gypsy got away and nobody saw it."

He released Gavin and removed the wrinkles of the suit by patting it.

"Gavin. That woman knows how to release the soul. We need the demon. What do you think will happen to you when the Senior Partners found out YOU ruined their plans?"

"I will bring her back, sir. We will watch every city exit and transportation mean leaving the city"

"You better do it."

Lindsey left Gavin standing in the main corridor to the cell area of the building and went back to his office. He closed his door with such a force that it almost fell from its place. He sat down in his comfortable leather chair and looked at the reports he was getting from the hospitals where the vampire and the slayer were. He had yet to hear from them today.

Both were in and out of conscience, their fever didn't drop to normal values for human body. His psychics were trying, but still couldn't get into their minds when they were unconscious. No information was found when they were wake. He knew The Powers were interfering. He knew this was a chess game. He had to study and see what his next move was.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The next day

"Sir. Miss Mary is on the line."

Lindsey grabbed the phone and heard the reports on the vampire. With every word, he paled more and more. When that call ended, he immediately called the stationary team in the New York hospital where the Slayer was. Then, he was really nervous.

Vampire and Slayer just disappeared.
