Chapter 25

Angelus was still smirking to himself as he exited the building he whistled to himself as he made his way along the grass.

"Not taking her with you?" a voice asked

Angelus turned toward the voice "And you would be?"

"I'm Eve"

"Ah yes Eve now I recognise you, sorry your just got a bit more make-up on then I'm used to" Angelus laughed

Eve scowled at him "You didn't answer my question"

"I'm well aware of that"

"After your little display in there I thought you'd at least take her home"

"Spying were we?"

"It's what I'm good at…"

"Yeah seems the only thing your good at. Now if you're done…"

"I'm not. Mr Hamilton would like to speak with you"

"Hamilton, never heard of him"

"Well he's the one that's going to hook you up with the power in this city and may I also add he's the one responsible for your change of tune"

Angelus laughed and began to walk away "Remind me to send him a fruit basket…"

"You don't know about the prophecy do you"

Angelus stopped and turned back to her "Prophecy?"

Eve smiled "You know the one were you kill your son to end the world"

Angelus smiled "Well I might take my trip down to the candy shop later. Where is this Hamilton guy?"

2 hours later

Buffy awoke slowly from her place on the floor. Putting her hand to her head and slowly sitting up she noticed she was only wearing her bra and Angel's jacket lying on top of her.

"Oh god" she whispered at the realisation of what had happened. She got up and gathered her clothes from the floor sliding them onto her sore body. Every muscle in her body was aching.

She grabbed her sword from the ground before rapping herself in Angel's jacket and exiting the building.

It was a long walk back to the Hyperion one she wasn't really feeling up to. Once she got back to the Hyperion she began to search the rooms for Connor.

"Connor?" she called over and over before finally pulling out her mobile to call him as she went to reach into her pocket she found something else in there.

The ball 'He never was that bright' she thought to herself. Placing the ball on her nightstand she found her mobile and dialled.

'Hi you've called Connor, can't answer the phone so leave me a message'

"Connor it's me, give me a call as soon as you get this and if you see your dad…run he's not himself, call me bye"

Buffy slammed the phone shut "Damn it" she said before dialling again.

'Hello you've reached the office of Wesley Wyndim Price, if you would leave a message I shall get back to you as soon as possible'

"Wesley you there? Pick up? Angelus is back I've got what changed him, we need to change him back, call me on my cell"

She took a breath before retrying again

'Hi you've reached the office of Charles Gunn…'

Buffy threw the phone into the wall luckily not damaging it too much. She crumbled to the ground and burst out in tears.

"God, Angel" she whispered as she laid on the ground and wept

"Wesley, Wes wake up!" Gunn continued to nudge Wesley who lay on the floor beside him.

"Hmmm" Wesley began to stir "What….what happened?"

"We got snatched up from the office and taken here" Gunn replied

Wesley sat up holding his head "I take it they used force"

"Sure did"

"So who took us…?"

"Some guy named Hamilton took me" Connor said as he came into view from the corner

Wesley nodded "Was it just us he took?"

"Well seeing as Spike has left to Rome to visit Dawn he's out of danger but I did see Illyria in an enclosure when they were dragging me in"

"What about Buffy and Angel…"

"Well look at who we have here" Angelus said as he walked over to the enclosure they were in.

Connor quickly walked over "Dad, you found us"

Angelus smirked "Aha you've got to be missing to be found and you lot are right were your meant to be"

Connor shook his head "What…I don't understand"

"Angel what's the matter with you…" Wesley began

"Wrong guess there English, I'm not Angel"

"Angelus"

"Ding, ding, ding we have a winner"

"What do you want with us?" Gunn asked

Angelus smirked "With you and the good old watcher I don't want anything. I just don't need you helping out Buff…"

"What have you done to her?" Connor demanded banging his hand against the bars

Angel put his hands in the air and took a step back "Whoa there JR, I've done nothing your mum didn't ask for"

"I swear if you've hurt her…"

Angelus went up close to his face "You'll do what, it appears that you are the one in the cage" Angelus laughed while he exited the room.

"Well this is just swell" Gunn murmured
