Part Three,
Galway 1745 February 6th,
Katherine O'Connor approached her father Robert and her Brother Liam, "Father there someone shouting out in the square for help." Robert and Liam looked at her from their books, and Robert stood up and went to the door.
Robert open the door and noticed James McManus, standing in the middle of the square screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Help? We need help?" James continued shouting over and over again; Robert stepped out into the square.
"What's happening James?"
"Shipwreck on the rocks in the bay, the light house keeper was late lighting the lamp. But it was to late a ship hit the rocks."
"Liam…"
"I'm on it father." Liam said from behind his father, Liam went back into the house.
"Katherine, collect all the blankets and coats you can."
"Liam what's happen?"
"Ship crashed into the rocks."
"Okay, it won't take long." Katherine ran upstairs to get the blankets, while Liam went to collect some rope and a few lanterns.
10 minutes later,
As Liam and Katherine approached the bay and their eyes were set upon the terrific landscape before them. The ship was in a blaze; they could hear the screams of people on the ship, that weren't able to escape into the sea, as they burnt alive.
They quickly ran to the beach and joined the others.
"Father any survivors?"
"Not ject Liam, all we have been able to recover from the sea, was a few processions. Liam why don't you take your sister, Henry and Bryn down that section of the beach and the rest of us well over the other section."
"Yes Father." Liam took his little group in the direction his father suggested and looked for survivors.
Liam and his little group were coming to the end of the beach and they hadn't found one survivor from the ship. And he knew the chances of finding someone alive was diminishing as the minutes went past.
"Liam, what's that? By the mouth of the cave, it looks like a body." Bryn shouted.
Liam ran towards the object and the nearer he got to it, he realised it was a body, and he shouted towards Katherine.
"Katherine, quickly go back, get some blankets. Henry can you go with her?"
Katherine and Henry turned and ran back.
Liam approached the body; he knelt down by the body and flipped over the body as the person was laying on her front. He was stunned for a minute, by the beauty of the girl lying before him. He couldn't bear it if a beauty like this was dead; he just had to find out.
He leaned over her and turned his head to the side and lowered his head on her chest, to see if she had a heartbeat and could hear her breathing.
Liam heard a faint heart beat and there were signs that she was breathing. He softly shook her; he needed to see if she would response. When he didn't get any response he sat down onto the back of his ankles.
"Liam is she alive?"
"Yes, but I can't get a response."
"Well no one would response from a shake like that, you shook her to lightly." Liam laughed
"Your probably right I'll try again." Liam shook the girl harder, and she moaned.
"See you didn't shake her hard enough."
"Miss, Miss, can you hear me?" They heard another moan.
"Okay I take that as a yes, okay Miss can you try and open your eyes?" Liam asked, he wanted to see if she had the eyes to go with the rest of her looks. The girl slowly open her eyes and looked upon who woke her. And she spoke one word, "Angel." Liam smiled as he gently placed his arms round her to keep her warm.
"No, Miss I'm not an angel, I'm just a normal Person." She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"You will always be an angel to me, because you were the one who found me." She said lightly as she fell asleep in his arms.
"Liam, we're back is the person alive?"
"Yes, Katherine, quickly pass me a blanket she's dreadfully cold." Katherine passed him the blanket and he wrapped it around the girl. Liam picked her up and started to walk back to the village when his father approached.
"Take her to the doctor's he be waiting, there's will be enough room, because it seems like she's the only one that survived. Me and the others well collect the trunks and processions we found and place them at the village hall, as some could belong to her."
"Yes father, shouldn't Katherine come with us it's getting late and mother well start to worry if she's not back soon."
"Good idea."
Sunnydale 1999 April 14th 3pm,
Angel and Buffy walked though the doors of the library and went towards Giles who was writing in his watchers diary. "Giles we have an emergency, Cordelia was sucked into a portal about 20 minutes ago." Giles looked up at Buffy and Angel and he raised his eyes brows.
"Did you just say Cordelia was pulled into a portal?"
"Yeah that's what I said, but I said sucked instead of pulled."
"Buffy focus Cordelia's just been kidnapped!" Angel shouted at her, in his attempt to act natural and that he had no idea what was going on. But he knew he would have to tell them what he knew son, if he ever wanted them to trust him again.
Giles looked closely at Angel, he was acting weird, and it looked like he was concerned and worried about Cordelia. Buffy noticed Giles's stare at Angel, and knew he had to know Angel loved Cordelia.
"Oh don't mind him Giles, his just in love with Cordelia." Buffy said with spite towards Angel, and Giles's eyebrows rose again this time from shock.
"Focus please." Angel pleaded with Buffy and Giles.
"Of course Buffy you're sure it was a portal?"
"Most defiantly!"
"Okay I call the others and we start researching into portals. Angel if you want to get the books, there down aisle 6 on the bottom shelf."
Galway 1745 February 10th,
"Well Miss Williams it looks like your better from your ordeal, and you have a visitor, do you think you can handle a visitor?" The village doctor asked Cordelia.
"Yes I think I can, actually doctor I think I can leave soon, like in now." The doctor chuckled as his packed up a few instruments.
"Oh don't worry you be out soon, like in tomorrow."
"Really? Cordelia said more excited then she had been since Angel kissed her. She had been stuck in this place for 3 to 4 days, 'god people in this century are to cautious.' Her minded screamed.
"Yes, and Mrs McKay has Graciously offer you a room, she has a big house to herself since her children were married off."
"Can you thank her for me and tell her I be welcomed to take her up on her offer." The doctor smiled and went towards the door.
"I'll do that, would you like me to tell your visitor to come though?"
"Yes please." Cordelia sat down on the chair by the window and she looked out of the window and stared at the view. She saw little old cottages and behind them were green rolling hills. She still couldn't believe her history teacher, put a spell on her and transported her here. And she had only seen Angel once, and that was when he had found her after the shipwreck.
"God morning, Miss." Cordelia's heart started to rise to cloud nine, that voice even thou it was an Irish voice, it was still undeniable Angel's voice. And she turned to greet him.
'God he looked good' Cordelia thought, he looked exactly in his element, in the old period clothes. 'God he must be miserable in the 20th because he looked absolutely happy here, oh god he just smiled god he looks gorgeous.'
"Miss, do you remember me?" Cordelia slightly smiled ad stood up and walked over to him.
"Of course I remember you, you were the person who found me at the beach. And I like to thank you for that, so thank you. And to introduce myself, I'm Gaynor Guinevere Williams."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Williams and I'm Lim O'Connor. I think my father found a few trunks of yours, so once you escaped the doctors claws, it you come to my house, my father could take you to the village hall."
"The village hall?"
"Yes, because that's where we have stored the processions we found on the beach."
"Thank you that's very good of you to offer. Can you tell me something? Because I have tried to get the doctor to tell me, but he won't."
"Of course I try and answer anything for you?" Cordelia sat back down in the chair she was before, and she motioned for Liam to sit down which he did.
"What happen to the others?" Liam lowered his head and he knew exactly what she meant, she meant the others on the ship.
"You were the only one we found Miss Williams."
"I see." Cordelia stared at Liam who still his head lowered, 'It's funny sometimes he didn't seem like Angel, and other times, times like this he did,' she thought.
"Please Mr O'Connor cal me Gaynor." Liam looked up at her, 'God she was beautiful.'
"And call me Liam, not Mr O'Connor it makes me feel older than I am."
"And how old are you? If you don't mind me asking."
"Of course not, I'm 18."
"Really I thought you were older because you look older." Liam laughed.
"I get that a lot and do you know what I have only just turned 18 as well."
"And exactly when was that?"
"February 2nd, and you are how old?"
"Um I think I let you guess first!"
"Right, um 22 or around that age."
"No I'm the same age as you and my birthday was on the 16th of January." They both laughed.
"Well I see you tomorrow, the doctor has asked me to take you to Mrs McKay's. But I have a few things to do, so I have to cut my visit short."
"Right, see you tomorrow."
February 11th, (Note from now on Cordelia will be known as Gaynor.)
Liam walked towards the room Gaynor was staying in he opened the door and said,
"So Gaynor are you ready?" He looked at Gaynor up and down and noticed she was already dressed in her winter overalls. "I see you are defiantly ready."
"I have been really all morning, what took your time?" Liam laughed, she most defiantly different from most of the women he knew. She was out spoken, god he loved that about her.
"I had a few things to do, and plus I thought you would sleep in, my mother and sister always seem to. Oh and my father found your trunks and already dropped them off at Mrs McKay's, so all we have to do is get you out of here!"
"Yes finally, so can we go now please?"
"Sure." Liam offer her his hand, Gaynor took his hand and Liam help her off the chair, then she hooked her arm round his and walked out of the doctors house.
Sunnydale April 14th 5pm,
Willow and Xander walked though the doors of the library and saw Buffy, Giles and Angel sitting at the table with a mountain of books around them.
"So where's Cordelia? Did she think she was too good for us again?" Xander chuckled as he walked towards the group. Suddenly Xander was lifted off the floor by six inches, were Angel had picked him up.
"Don't you ever speck about Cordelia that way again, or you have me to deal with, she was kidnapped, so we can use your help, that's if you want to help." Angel said then set Xander down, he forced some air into lungs to try and calm himself down.
Angel had just read something about time portals; they were activated by a spell. And the person who the spell was aimed at would live in that time until the spell ran its course. There was no way to stop the spell once it was activated, so he had no worry's that he could cut the time his past self had with Cordelia. So from now on, he was going to help Buffy and the others as much as he could.
