It was midnight when Phoebe walked into the attic where Prue was still thumbing through the Book of Shadows.

"Find anything?" she asked causing Prue to jump at the sudden intrusion.

"Damn it Phoebe," she snapped as she set the book down.

"Sorry," Phoebe mumbled as she set her cup down.

"This man I can't get him out of my head," Prue admitted as she ran her hands threw her hair in frustration.

"He was a hottie huh?" Phoebe asked as she laughed.

Prue just glared at her as she picked up the book, "I just wish I could find something on him, who he is, where he's from."

"What did he say his name was?" Phoebe asked as she went to sit beside her sister.

"Angel," Prue responded.

"Why not ask Leo?" maybe he knows something.

"Leo!" Prue shouted as she set the book aside.

Leo appears looking tired as he rubs his eyes, "what is it?"

"What do you know about a man who goes by the name of Angel?" Prue asked.

Leo scrunched his face as if he was thinking.

"He's tall, dark, very handsome," Phoebe chimed in grinning as Prue shot her a dirty look.

Leo's eyes got wide at her description, "he's a vampire, why did he hurt?" Leo asked concerned as Phoebe's mouth dropped open.

"Are you sure about that?" Prue asked as she remembered how charming and sweet Angel was.

"He was turned in 1723 his real name is Liam, he went by the name Angelus before he disappeared somewhere in Sunnydale," Leo explained.

"Wow so he's pretty old," Phoebe spoke up.

"And dangerous, he's known as the man with the Angel face, he tortured thousands of people for pleasure," Leo warned.

"The man I saw tonight wasn't a killer, he saved my life," Prue argued.

"Maybe, he's playing you," Phoebe suggested.

"He had every chance to kill me and he didn't," Prue argued.

"Prue he's not to be trusted, he's cunning, and dangerous, a vicious killer," Leo argued.

"I trust him," Prue snapped as she stormed out of the attic.

Prue made her way slowly into her office as she set her purse down and signed, she couldn't get what Leo told her about Angel out of her head. The man she met was charming, handsome, and sure he had a hint of danger to him but maybe that was why Prue was so attracted to him.

"Miss Halliwell, your ten o clock is here," Prue's assistant told her.

"Send him in," Prue said as she pushed all thoughts of Angel aside.

"Miss Halliwell thank you for meeting with me," a young blonde haired woman said as she shook hands with the dark haired woman.

"I'm sorry I was expecting a Mr. Choi," Prue said confused as she sat back down.

"Something came up so he sent me," the woman replied with a smile as she played with the ring on her finger.

"That's a beautiful ring," Prue stated as she took in the green stone on the ring.

"Thank you it's a family heirloom," the woman said with a devilish smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch your name," Prue said.

"It's Darla," the woman replied.

"Nice to meet you," Prue said with a smile as she leaned back in her chair.

"Likewise," Darla said with a smirk.

"So what can I help you with? They didn't really clarify anything on the phone," Prue said.

"I'm looking for someone, thought maybe you could help me," Darla said as she frowned.

"I'm not sure I'm the person to talk to, have you tried the police?" Prue asked a little confused.

"They can't help me," Darla said sadly as she took Prue's hands, "you're my only hope."

Prue was about to respond when Claire burst into her office, "Prue there you are?"

"Claire I'm in a meeting," Prue snapped as she gestured to Darla who appeared angry at the intrusion.

"Right sorry, but this is important," Claire insisted as she apologized to Darla.

"It's no trouble," Darla insisted as she stood up and nodded towards Prue, "perhaps we can continue this conversation later."

"Of course," Prue told her as she watched her go.

"A ring we had in auction has been stolen and a security guard was killed, "Claire said sadly as she occupied the seat Darla was previously using.

"Oh my God," Prue said as she leaned forward. "Do the police have any leads?"

"The cameras weren't able to capture anything," Claire said sadly as she shook her head.

"I can't believe this," Prue said.

"I just wanted to inform everyone on the incident and warn you to be careful. I have hired extra security as well," Claire stated as she stood up.

"I will thank you," Prue said as she frowned.

"We will be closing early tonight as well, a guard with walk everyone to their car," Claire told her before leaving.

"I can't believe this," Prue said sadly as she grabbed ran her hands threw her hair. She grabbed her cell phone as she snuck down into the basement where they kept everything. "Okay let's see what's really going on" she whispered aloud to herself.

"You shouldn't be down here," Angel said as he emerged from then shadows.

"Angel?" Prue asked as she jumped.

"Sorry didn't mean to frighten you," he said a hint of a smirk on his lips.

"How did you get in here?" Prue asked as she switched on the light.

"I have my ways," he answered as he walked closer towards the woman.

"I was warned to stay away from you Angelus," Prue said.

Angel's expression grew darker, "I haven't heard that name in a while."

"I didn't mean to upset you," Prue said as she stepped closer to the vampire causing him to step back.

"I shouldn't be here," Angel said more to himself than the witch standing in front of him.

"Then why are you?" Prue asked genuinely curious at to what his answer would be.

"I can't stay away from you," Angel said as he locked eyes with the witch.

"Why?" Prue asked as she shot him a shy smile.

"You're in danger," Angel warned her as he avoided her eyes.

"I can take care of myself," Prue said a little annoyed at the man.

"Not against what's coming," Angel said as he smiled at her.

"Are you following me?" Prue asked the man bluntly as she crossed her arms.

Angel looked away ashamed.

"So Leo was right, you are a vampire?" Prue asked.

"I shouldn't have come here, I'm sorry," Angel said as he turned to leave.

"Angel please wait," Prue called to him as she grabbed his arm.

Angel slowly turned around as he stared into her eyes, "I'm dangerous," he warned her.

"So I've heard but yet here you are warning me when you could easily kill me," Prue shot back.

"Who says I won't," Angel growled.

"I know you won't," Prue said calmly as she cupped his face gently. "You can't stay away from me and I don't want you to."

Angel tried to pull away but he couldn't, it was like Buffy all over again, he wanted so badly to protect the witch no matter the cost.

"Angel what is it?" Prue asked as she sensed his hesitation.

Angel looked towards the door as it opened and voices were heard, Prue quickly glanced back, then frowned when she turned back and found Angel gone.

"Prue what are you doing down here?" Claire asked as she and a security guard appeared behind her.

"Umm was just cataloging some things," Prue lied as she headed back up the stairs.

Claire gave her a weird look as she watched her go.

As Prue gathered her things and followed the guard to her car she couldn't shake the feeling that Angel was there somewhere watching over her.
